    This was a brilliant watch. Amazing job. Yeah we can do it all in the box now with infinitely less cost and while we can argue for days about whether or not that can sound better,, worse or equal one thing is more sure - it's nowhere near as fun as this. Surely that's the point right - every stage of creating art should be a joy

      I occasionally do live mixes but I am an embryo in comparison.

    I just realized recently how funny it is that the determining factor of certain qualities of a music production stage/process usually comes from the last stage/process. For example, how loudness and punch in mastering, usually comes from good mixing; how good arrangements, instrumentation, usually comes from good songwriting, and in this case of the video, how good sounding mixes, usually comes from flawless performances

    UA-cam recommended this way too late, I should have known about this by now. This is the CLEANEST mix of Don't Stop Me Now I've ever heard. The ONLY complaint is the fade out is a little to quick at the end, other than that, this sounds like what the final cut should have been. The flashing levels and bouncing VU meters on top of that warm and punchy sound are just ecstasy. An excellent mix of a wonderful song, done on beautiful equipment by a master technician.

    one song: one hour of recording 10 minutes of mixing, so 1,5 hour of completion of song.
    13 songs on Jazz album.
    The whole album completed in 20 hours.
    Great job.
