I'm also careful if I have frequencies that are overlapping. Solo, the tracks can sound ok, but together they can add up certain frequencies. So the next step I do is side chain compression and EQ, then I analyze the whole thing on 2bus and I set it up to hit maximum -6.0dB. From there I can push it late on if I want.
I learn something every single time you speak! I would highly recommend everyone get a consultation with David because he helped me in multiple consultations and the information blew my mind and transformed the way I mix instantly. Well worth the investment! Keep shining man! 🙏
I've been a professional musician for over 47 years, and a studio owner for 20+ years. Although certified by Pro Tools, I've had no formal training. Just trial and error. This is by far "the BEST" instruction I've ever seen or heard regarding balancing a mix. Without a good/proper balance, a mix engineer will surely be fighting himself throughout the entire mixing process to get the tracks to to "play well" with each other.
I’m an artist and audio engineer from Toronto and this is my favourite channel ever! I enjoy all your videos they’re super helpful and fun to watch. Love you bro 🎶💯
Bro for many years m producing and i really got to a complete order of the mix casue of u!! no matter what ive learned on socials ths is by far the most helpful !! thanks man!!
What a great explanation! That information is gold for the people that are lerning. There is a reason why David is the best. Because he just fucking tell you what mixing is about. Congrats bro, your hard work and talent is incredible. God bless you
I did a mix over the weekend in which was the first time I actually mixed into a compressor. My crest factor was ALOT closer than ever b4 and yet I still maintained all my transients!!! Thanks for all the good tools and advice brother!
Just wanted to randomly come by and say thanks again, Ive only just started doing automation in mixes. Thanks to you. Mixing this last tune has been much easier. For years, was a nightmare trying to get static levels and wondering why certain things are too loud for certain parts trying to find the perfect balance for a set and forget. No longer. lol.
Thanks David! That comment you made about knowing which compressor to use to get a certain result on the mix bus..., detailing that would make a great video.
Great knowledge here. One thing: For people brand new to mixing, mixing into compression isn’t probably the best way to start. You need to get a good understanding of both compression *and* gain staging before you can effectively mix into mixbus comp… I always recommend for folks new to mixing, first learn to mix without anything on the mixbus. Then move on to mixing into compression once they understand the basics. Some hardcore old school engineers claim you should never mix into compression, but i’m not one of them. It can he helpful with rock mixes, EDM or other more full/aggressive styles. But you need to know what you’re doing first, to get good results.
You are a legend Dave this video and your channel works for any genre. I love rock/metal but I write darkwave electronic stuff. This has been helping me a lot 🤟🙏
This is one the of the best "practical " Tips video about Gain Staging. Not for technical stand point but also how to apply in real life mix situation. Thanks for your kind effort to make this video
Tell me about it. Been “making” music as a hobby for over 10 years now, tried to mix now and then, but mostly sent to engineers, now I hope that I can do it myself and this video was an eye-opener.
Hey Dave I have a question so looking at your Daw it looks like your 2 bus comes after your master channel. I have pro tools too but I use Studio one v 5 and on mine there is a post master area where you can ad processing is that the same thing? am I doing it wrong by putting my 2 bus compressor on my master channel instead of post? I'll have to check the manual but it seems maybe I'm messing up any good advice? Love your channel you really are helping us. I'm almost done tracking my song mostly with analog and loving the real gear not that plug ins are bad cause I still use them but little as posible with in reason and yes I'm very new at this I do my own music only and I just want to produce a professional sound though I have a ways to go it's getting better. Cheers Mate!!!!!!!
Great video man. Short and to the point and i agree with everything you said. For people wondering, you can also do this with an IO for analog gear on your 2bus! Blessings my brother
Well, the light really off on this one. I have been working to record live into the 2 bus. The SSL Big Six and the Fusion will soon be dialed in with this new found discipline. "All roads lead to the 2 bus." Thank you David, for the insight.
No, it's digital, if anything would be the other way around. In analog you'd lower the signal to noise ratio or add whatever color. Digital gain is a simple math like 1+1=2. Not sure where you got that you'd lose information. Machines don't lose numbers randomly

And I just came from one of your videos recommending this channel....bless up
There's no one, on UA-cam or else, who has given more or better information so consistently as you!
The Trim feature on Harrison Mixbus is why I love and use it

Thanks David, I really like how you have wrapped up so many aspects very efficiently with this approach... very good
Simply the best channel for someone serious about mixing and mastering! Really useful, subtle and professional advice.
Just wow, simple, clear and straight to the point, this video should be shared and pinned on top of every mixing board
Really! Keep you off the gerbil wheel for sure

This is the single most important video I’ve watched on this. Thank you.
Yeah ! Same here !!!🙏
Just bought this plugin, super psyched to use it. They have it on sale right now on the waves website.
What's the name of it?
the best of youtube, simple as that.
thanks, always
Thank you!
Thank you
Such an eye opener video. Thanks David!
David you definitely taught me the most of all the engineers on UA-cam. Your videos are always value!
That song reminds me of early Prince! Great video as always David!
This gotta be the best channel on Yt
God those drums were properly tracked, they sound already super tasty. Would love to receive that quality material when I mix ! Cheers David, you 🤘🏻
I never thought of doing a mix this way. Interesting. Thank you. 👍🏻
Great! Thanks David :)
I just Join the Channel ! i was happy to do it
Awesome man! Welcome to the family
Nice tee shirt man.....Love those guys! V4 is my go to outside kick mic....and sometimes inside if I can fit it thru the hole!
Probably the best video on this subject on the web. Very grateful for having found this channel and your clear, no-BS explanations!
Best learning videos in UA-cam,thanks alot MixbusTV,god bless you !!
Thank you David, once again your explanation is right on with no bullshit.

You make the perfect videos for the almost professionals who know what things are and how they work but might need a little more technique
Jokes aside. You are building your own dojo with these slices of pedagogical work. Thank you, honestly.

This is a great reminder. I really enjoy this channel.
Thanks David.
So much sense....another gr8 vid
Simply the best out there! This is gold
Really REALLY useful video. Thanks a lot
You explained so well sir
Thank you bro!!
The initial balance is king
learned alot thanks mr MixbusTv 😎
Buying and starting to use analog gear while mixing is when I finally got gain staging ...because you have to, haha.
Same here, spend tons of time matching volumes on my 500 analog boxes, it's painful, but fun ;)
Exactly 😂😂😂
So you spent a fortune to learn the basics... smart.
Same bro. It took some time to learn no gain staging causes alot of clipping and distortion xd
Glad I got u. U r the lifesaver
Awesome and very useful video David! Thank you so much
Dang didn’t think I’d see this song in a mixbus video!!
I wonder if its just a great reminder or a truly new thing. Respect to David!
New for anyone who didn't know. There are a lot of new subs on the channel
Nice ! This is the most overlooked part of mixing, especially by beginners .
Tell me about it.
Been “making” music as a hobby for over 10 years now,
tried to mix now and then, but mostly sent to engineers,
now I hope that I can do it myself and this video was an eye-opener.
This is becoming really precious to me! So much better this way.. thanks!

I understood that gain staging could be a problem. Thanks for showing us an easy way to deal with it.
Thank you for this....very helpful!
Thank you for the video.. I like your training method..
Great video man. Short and to the point and i agree with everything you said. For people wondering, you can also do this with an IO for analog gear on your 2bus! Blessings my brother
Thanks David for being THE real deal.My mixes got to another level, using your knowledge.
Everything on your channel is pure gold, thanks a lot brother !
Great info as usual bro. I'm trying to expand my mixing knowledge (to be able to mix my own music) and your content is very helpful.
cool to see you here bruh... Lol
Awesome content man. 👍🏼
Thankyou for the lesson. 🙏🏼
Great tutorial! Thanks
Thanks David!
Last week I was actually wondering if mixing into my master compressor was super smart or super dumb. Thanks for the vid.
Great explanation and super helpful mixing tip 🖤
Tip notch!
David just joined your channel cause I know you can bring me to my next level your awesome CALABOGIE Ontario Canada
Welcome to the membership Kevin!
This stuff is golden! I can't wait to learn everything I can from such a stellar engineer 😁
🙌🙏
Thanks Champion!
I've learned a lot from you over the years. Thanks for all you do!
This video is incredible. Thanks David!
Excellent Video Bro ❤️💯💯
Excellent video David, definitely eye-opening and I learned something today.
🤘🏻🤘🏻
Well, the light really off on this one. I have been working to record live into the 2 bus. The SSL Big Six and the Fusion will soon be dialed in with this new found discipline. "All roads lead to the 2 bus." Thank you David, for the insight.
🙌
Great video! Thank you sir
As usual David: great video!
🙏
Now, that's THE way to go, really clear, focus and precise. Great video ! And all those instances of Shade ;-) ...
That's coming :)
Thanks you for what you do
This is Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing
Amazing! I have never thought about mixing like that, I'll definitely experiment with that!
But dont you lose information if you change the gain digitally? I know changing gain in analog makes sense but digitally?
No, it's digital, if anything would be the other way around. In analog you'd lower the signal to noise ratio or add whatever color. Digital gain is a simple math like 1+1=2. Not sure where you got that you'd lose information. Machines don't lose numbers randomly
Great vid!
probably one of your most important videos.
" I want the same exact level with and without compression". Right on.
Top as usual my friend!
Great video thanks!!
I have a very similar hairdo currently. My wife says I look like an enraged owl. Love it.
Thank you very much!
Amazing video as always, thank you David !
Totally transformed. Can't believe that band submitted stems that had to be trimmed by 16db. How could they not hear that tambourine ?
fabulous, clear and concise explanation of when, where, and why to level match
Nice levels - right on
Can’t wait for the part 2 of this video! I watched this one a few times already! Lol great info man
Great Vid as usual
Important video this one, wish I knew this earlier in my Career😆
Another excellent video as always David, thank you.
very informative! good stuff
you are a mix god
Very good advice
Great video Dave.
Gold - thank you 🙏
