Do this again and again with different genres, please. 😊
I watched the full video , i just love how Jens mixes, everything is professional and high quality but , the way Jens mixes is just something else
Great video! Kind of liberating once you hit the three key elements.
This is really helpful. For my favourite I'm tossing up between Adam Nolly Getgood and Andrew Scheps. Something I find very interesting is the huge range in dynamics ranging from lots in the Andrew Scheps mix to almost none in the Buster Odelholm mix. I would love to hear the mix of this that Andy Sneap would do, this is right up his alley.
Jens Bogren was the only one that sounded pleasing to my ear. Thanks I've discovered a new engineer 👍🏾
If you ever work with metal music dig into his plugins on his website. Really top class stuff. cheers
really!? interesting
Very helpful, thank you! I liked the fourth one down - something about the higher frequencies tickles my ears in a way I like. And what you said about just trusting what I like, once it’s crossed the pro threshold, was invaluable. I’m so grateful for your videos and courses (I have your bundle and am now going through it to mix my second album), thanks again for it all!
Thanks for a very fair and “balanced” reaction to the project. I took a lot away from being involved in this research project.
Wow, Mike! Thanks so much for taking the time to watch. An honor to have you visit the channel!
Jens for the win! Clarity as a whole
My favs are #2 and #4 as the most naturally sounding. I also weirdly liked #9 for being a bit more drum focused. Great content Colin.
Super cool - Thanks Colin! My favs are Scheps (feels like a comfortable favorite shoe!) and Jens Bogren - I'm hearing instruments in his mix that I'm not hearing in the others!! Fascinating!
Thanks for doing this video, love your analysis and the GREAT TAKE AWAY! Very Encouraging. My favorite: 8 - Dave Otero
Finally a metal mix!!! 😊 Josh Middleton was my fav
For me, Jens Bogren. Thanks for the video.
Excellent mix! Glad you dug the video
Same
Jens!!!!! More textural color and harmonic information to my ears
I just love this kind of content - great job Colin. #4 seemed to be the most pleasing EQ wise (not too overly harsh).
Jens is a master at that bright but not harsh sound!
Great vid Colin -- and GREAT POV. And this strategy can be applied to performance, as well.
Absolutely! Great point
Thanks for this video. It is right on time.
Excellent video !! Thanks Collin !! My Fav was Track #5.. It sounded less dark than Mixes 2-4 (where Mix 1 was the "baseline"). Mix #5 to me has more Midrange which sounded a bit brighter.
Excellent analysis, Jim! Spot on
Thank you for a very informative overview. I would have preferred to hear each comparison, over a loop section to be able to compare the differences between them rather than it switching while running through the arrangement. Which was good but took away a more detailed focus. 👍 I am enjoying your channel.😊
Noted! Glad you're enjoying the channel!
Top notch analysis and a great learning resource 😎
Thanks, William!
As soon as I hear Andrew Scheps' mix...seems he's mastered using stereo width and exceeds others in maintaining tonal balance.. and just looking at his Waveform, in comparison to other mixes, he's retained the natural Dynamics..didn't clip them off..I very much enjoy that he left room for the client to come in and tweak ..he didn't push this thing over the cliff like some other mixes that were Eq'd to the nth degree...making his mix more likable over the long run...I recently had a personal experience with a mix engineer who just went to far...over worked the mix into something that is, to borrow Collin's phrase, non-organic to the original genre'..nobody liked it, but the mixer..that's not good at all...
Got to mention that thanks to Colin we're all moving up the ladder toward making better decisions at he desk..and thanks to Colin I can hear things that I never heard before and understand what the hell it all means...i gave up on trying to get somebody else to make my music all it could be and feel grateful that Colin came along...thank you
The first part of the sound on sound article (the rest is behind a paywall) has actual analysis of the differences, based on interviews - clearly showing these pros are on a totally different level. Listening I can just say, oh that sounds a bit too compressed or too muddy, but they're into serious complexity.
Buster‘s waveform 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I think 4 and 8 sounded the best. My mixing has improved drastically in the last year and hopefully when I re-upload my first two albums soon they will get some attention. My songs on my channel currently sound like a mess with no limiters/clippers/proper EQ technique/proper panning used. My new mixes sound quite professional.
wow - this is an amazing thing! will be digging into the SoS resources. mixes 3 & 4 for me best. thanks very much indeed for this! (shame about the actual song though!)
Glad it was helpful, Kevin!
Great video! Great takeaways. And to be honest, the fact that this is nothing like what I'll be mixing is a plus because I'm going by the sound of it and not really comparing. I'm leaning towards #4. #8 and #9 seemed to harsh for me and #5 seemed a bit muddy for my taste with this type of music.
8 and 9 are sick mixes
Thanks Colin for such an informative video. Actually my ears are not so sensitive as to catch the differences of the above mixes. However, I need this clarification. I noticed that all the mixes have 10.4 lufs. Are these tracks the MIXES or MASTERS? My only use for the songs I produce is to make UA-cam videos where any audio that crosses 14 lufs will get normalised and lowered in volume. I am facing this problem with a current project of mine: The master has a lufs of 15, but sounds thin, and will be accepted by YT without any problem. Because the song has a db variation all over, I feel that using volume automation to achieve a lufs of 14 will not improve the sound dramatically. FYI, I have not faced such a problem with any of my earlier songs that were decently loud and not thin even while at 15 lufs. I guess I need to experiment with this particular song, make two masters, one being the current one at 15 lufs, and another at 10 lufs, and upload both the videos to YT and learn how the YT processes the two, and go public with the version that sound full?
#4 was my favorite.
Definitely number 4
If I were to put it on a record I'd use the Dave Otero mix because it has such a 'full' sound, but if I wanted to listen to it at home just for myself I'd pick the Andrew Scheps mix because it's just the most pleasant to my ears. Not sure if that makes sense...
Is this a F.O.H mix or a mix ready to be mastered. Again Sweet!! Keep it up. Best!!! Ty,
Suddenly glad Peter Gabriel only had 3 mixes for I/O last year
4 , 6 ,7 is kinda mix i like ♥️💯
I liked Mixes 2 & 4… These didn’t seem to dark or to bright.
Some of the other mixes seemed to have a more extreme EQ… All of the mixes sounded great, but 2 & 4 were my favourite
I love Dave Otero mix ...🥰
Yeah.... that might be my favorite too 🤫
loved all of them, but i would probably choose Scheps if this was my song, just for sake of beautiful waveform :D but honestly it would be headache and something superficial would probably decide,
Man amazing, where could we get these tracks
#6 for me. Josh Middleton.
I like the “organic” sound of Scheps mix, as you put it, but his snare just didn’t sit right for me.
Hey Colin I am trying to find the video that you did on the new computer that you bought. I am
looking to buy a new mac and I want what you recommended. Please help?
Then again, having worked with a band recently, what you like may not be what the customer likes. The customer is always right. Working with the customer, especially if they are all highly trained and expert musos is a good idea as was in this case.
It's a great point! To some extent it's good to be skilled in multiple styles, but I also think having your own "sound" that people who hire you resonate with can be a great factor to stand out from the crowd!
@@TheBandGuide yeah, the thing is, my stamp is still on all the mixes, yet, the customer is also happy because I tended to their needs/ ears as well. As in anything where people are involved, human relations and customer satisfaction and two way communication is key.
4:30 he finally gets to the mixes
cheers
I liked mix 4 and 6.
🤘🏻🤘🏻
Are there multitracks for this song to mix? I can't find them.
Definitely #6
Josh definitely rocks
@TheBandGuide would love to see a follow up explaining differences like high end, low end, compression.
Wow... this vid could be named - Comparing amateur mixes and figuring out their mistakes lol. On a serious note though, I am very surprised how unbalanced imho some of the mixes are... So really - it's all about perspective.
I'm on 4 or 8, but for different reasons. Pushed, I say 4.
I'm in a similar boat!
mixing is a matter of taste always has been always will be , some of my fav mixes are technically wrong by todays standards
4 jens bogren nice
Just looking at the stems you can see that all the mixes are smashed except Schepps. He has let more transients through which gives his mix more life. It'm more how I like to mix. Notably, Schepps hails from an older generation such as Alan Parsons who also hated over-compression. That said, mixes 1,9 were worst, mushy, no definition. 3,4,5,6 almost identical. 2 and 7 best. 2 wins.
Any female mixers there out of the 8…..?
It’s a shame. There are female pro mixers. I’m not pro, but I mix/master.
Jens won for me.
You can just look at Scheps wav file and tell he didn't compress and limit the crap out of it. Getgood's sounds easily the worse. It's hollow. Like there is zero low mids.
Jens sounds the best out of the compressed/limited to hell cuts (which is everyone but Scheps.)
Jens won, not even close
