Thank you a lot for your time and for giving out this kind of info. Out of curiosity, can you say 3 mixes that you consider to be reference mixes? To have good physical integrity, good depth of field and good spectral balance? In other words, to say some of the best mixes that you ve ever heard. This way it would be easier to understand the video better. Thanks again!
Diana Krall - Temptation (by Al Schmitt) For Jazz, that's my only reference. Also good: Joni Mitchell Both Sides now Beck - Morning Or anything from Steely Dan
What’s so awesome about this is that it’s helped me identify that I’m doing the ‘right’ things but not implementing them correctly! I’ve always notched out resonances but that method you showed and the explanation of the phycology and way your ears fix what your hear has already helped Me on the work I’m doing for today’s client!! 🙌🙌
Hi Daniel, many thanks for this excellent tutorial (and also your other wonderful videos that I have watched). Please may I ask for your opinion about this: one of my favourite genres to arrange and then mix is 1970s style dub reggae (Lee Scratch Perry / King Tubby etc). The genre's 'traditional Aston Barrett type' bass is very low in terms of frequencies and not saturated or EQ-extended much beyond about 250hz if at all. It is a limitation of the genre (and the expectations of the genre's fans) for there to be low, deep bass which can be heard on powerful speaker systems. The problem is that these mixes cannot, of course, be heard on most iphones / laptops (and most 'casual' music listeners - ie, not dub reggae bass fans - will probably use such systems which cannot output sounds of below 250hz to any great degree). Of course, I could go against the expectations of the dub bass genre and its fans, and I could just saturate or EQ the bass into the higher frequencies so that the bass guitar is heard on smaller systems - and this would probably give my music a wider audience. But, tbh, this then does not recreate the sort of deep bass sound / timbre that is most reminiscent of 1970s style dub reggae bass. Ultimately, I am not a music professional (and I am creating music primarily for me to enjoy), so it might be that I just accept the limitations of this 'niche' genre's low bass requirements and I (and other dub bass fans) restrict ourselves to playing these songs on powerful systems. Sorry for the long essay, but I was wondering if you had ever found yourself creating / mixing for a specific genre whose own limitations affect the 'listenability' experience for a wider audience? If so, what decisions / choices did you consider? Many thanks.
I would make a compromise, as when a instrument is not heard on average speaker, its not a great mix. In out time we have the technology to solve that problem. Leave the bass deep but create more harmonics, so that it can be heard on smaller speakers..
Thanks, glad you liked it. Let others know about the channel... Also, in case you are interested, check out the "real" masterclasses, they go way more into the depth! www.danieldettwiler.com/courses
Thank you for the amazing content Daniel! I was also looking for your Reverb Bible but missed the intro sale, hope you'll go off for another time this year :O). Cheers
Thanks for liking it. Maybe you want to get the Pablo Held Masterclass? That one is on sale, and I also speak about reverb a little bit. I don't know when the next Reverb-Bible sale will be... Cheers!
Good Idea. Also check out my masterlasses, there are vocal examples in the reverb bible, and also in the mixing bible. I might make a free UA-cam Tutorial once... www.danieldettwiler.com/courses

Your UA-cam Add brought me here!
Can you demonstrate mixing vocals, I feel it's a very difficult instrument to get right
Good Idea.
Also check out my masterlasses, there are vocal examples in the reverb bible, and also in the mixing bible.
