Does anyone know if the Alloy he puts on the Drop Piano Bus is considered parallel processing b/c it's a plugin? Or would you have to do the traditional thing of duplicating the drop piano then adding the exciter to that?
Any time you blend the effect with the track, it's in parallel. You can do it within a plugin with a mix knob. You can do it duplicating a track with the plugin one one track, or you can do it with a send to an Aux track.
@Sigurdór Guðmundsson They cut him off, for obvious reasons. This whole video is an ad for iZotope. Once he mentions that there was no need to go further.
He jumped into Q&A after 36 minutes, so we cut it there. We didn't have the audience mic'd up for Q&A during this very first MixCon. In general, we've left Q&As off of the video versions of the presentations. In future years we coached presenters a bit better in segueing into Q&A more seamlessly, and upped production values considerably. No it's not because it's an ad for iZotope :D They are mentioned in the very beginning. I'm sure they would have liked it if he showed off their plugin even more. We're talking about a 36 minute presentation in which iZotope's tools are shown off for just a handful of them. That's pretty cool. It's very generous of them to sponsor so we can put these out for free!
The rest of it after this was Q&A. We didn't have the audience mic'd up for Q&A in this first MixCon. In hindsight, between the editing and presentation, we could have done better to make that more clear instead of leaving an air of mystery :) Maybe we'll release some unseen MixCon footage some day. There are some masterclasses (and all the Q&As) that have never been seen outside of the events themselves.
This guy is a bad ass ... amazing video. Anyone questioning this should probably mix less ... and listen more, then mix again. : ) You don't get this guys CV by mistake.
Good video. Very informative. Only gripe is the music being so low and Ariel tends to shout a lot which makes it difficult to get into the video... And the overuse of the word "Right"! Extremely annoying
OMG Where is the rest? Did iZotope took off their sponsorship for the second part of the video?! Otherwise: Just a great person and I loved his insights! Thx for that!

Mix-Pros should be able to balance the volume of the music and the speaker, right? Good video, but to change volume every two seconds while listening to his examples is absolutely annoying guys.
why does the kick drum take up such a large part of the spectrum in this kind of music ? given its energy and importance and all, yet using samples and the same kick repeating over X hundred 00 times through an average track .. gets really boring. The kick should also change pitch and duration and tonal ADSR character .. Example - An FM kick. Instead of a static sample. As is, EDM producers like Tiesto and DeadMau etc put three to four kicks stumped into one big sound which occupied 50% of the sound throughout a song...
Drum Layering is not about to stack sounds one over the other cause you will be in phase issue troubles, it is more about get a big sound by dividing a drum in three main elements the top, the body and the tail, which what today is an art, but this masterclass is not about production is about mixing, i agree it is boring to listen at but not in a dance club where the purpose is very diferent :-)
@Samrat B How many actual 'instruments' are really being heard here? The morons that consume this stuff are so jacked up on Ecstasy and Coke you could bounce a basketball in time and they'd dance to it.

Excellent 🙌
Those notes were some of the best I’ve ever seen.
Blue collar gig for sure. Nice video his NYC shines.
Is there a part 2 of this? Great video. Just getting into it and...it finished halfway through his mix. Bummer!
That's true about limiters I've noticed that a lot of the best tracks seem to still have their magic to them after being limited, distorted etc
Love this guy... He Focus In What I believe In...MIX WITH UR EARS...!! Yet Not ignoring Technicality..!!
Awsome video!. Love how Ariel explaines the mixdown of the track as a whole and in detail as well. //FLX
Ariel is the BEST! Top-notch engineer and so funny. Excellent presentation.
Agreed!
Ariel seems very cool and laid back. Funny as hell at times too haha. Great video, would love to collaborate.
I love this guy lol he mixes like I do

Is there a link to the rest of the masterclass?

so dumb
Could do with a limiter on his voice..
You can't he's a new yorker
Awkward way to end a video
Why the hell is his voice mixed so loudls? Turn that shit down

Given. Yet the dependence on the kick drum is obvious, that it leaves little space or volume for other sounds to make their presence felt...
