I finally found a UA-cam channel that comprehensively explains so many questions I can never find simple answers to on the Internet regarding mixing consoles and setup preferences. I might cry. Thank you
13 People so far gave this amazing tutorial thumbs down? They must be very ignorant people to vote thumbs down. This is the absolute very BEST sound engineering tutorial you will find anywhere on the web -PERIOD-
as everyone here pointed out - You, Sir, are amazing and your work and knowledge sharing is infinitely loved. I truly hope you will be glad to know that some good music that will be coming out in the world will be there thanks to you. For us, the 'bedroom producers' and certainly, not just for us, you are and have been a bless. Life will smile upon you always! Namaste! :)
How can you just have 2,700 + views!! Your videos are as professional as they can get!! I am forever grateful for your time, effort and knowledge! Thank you!
not sure if anyone gives a shit but in less than 15 minutes I hacked my friends Instagram account using instablaster. Cant link here so search for it on google xD
Why you stopped posting videos ... Literally your videos are 10-15yr advance than your time ... Till now nobody can explain like this... For free... Love you ❤️❤️❤️
This is SO helpful! I used to dabble with hardware when I was a vocalist, but that was 30 years ago. Reviewing these basics makes working in a DAW make so much more sense. I love your channel! I'm going through this series via the SoundGym site, which is great, too. Just way over priced. They need to work on the pricing structure. $10/month isn't bad if you can pay it monthly, but $25/month is outrageous! They'd make a lot more money if they made it more affordable. When I have the 1 or 2nd highest score, I know there can't be very many people on there!
Thank you for taking the time to produce such quality tutorials. I've learned so much already and I'm not even halfway through the videos on your channel! The content is streamlined and very easy to digest and take notes on. Well done!
Yeah You're right, this seasons tutorials are going in a fast pace indeed.. And besides that, this current season will contain A LOT more tutorials than the previous seasons as well.. So all-together it's going to be quite the ride! ;)
2:09 I think it's worth noting about phantom power (+48V) that this will destroy ribbon microphones, and isn't needed for others, so be sure to know what kind of power your microphone needs before you go toggling this switch!
Hi, I'm still working on that.. will be released almost together with the book.. have actually been working on it yesterday.. Almost done (but needs to be perfect) I'll keep you posted on twitter/facebook about it. (I have so many things going on I would almost need to get some staff here haha) Cheers!
Well it really depends on what you're doing and how sure you are about what you are applying. I personally would avoid recording signals into daw/tape WITH eq/dynamics/etc... I would try to record as 'unprocessed' as possible. Than during the mixing stage we can equalize, apply dynamics, fx, etc, and still be be completely free in those choices.
Really good content, love your work bro i'm studying audio enginery and it's pretty cool that we can find these kind of content, keep the same way all my support! lml
Yeah watched it through again. You can bet you're arse this video is gonna be handy next time I stumble into a studio. Looking forward to the third installment.
I have been looking for these types of in depth explanations a long time and I finally did so. I'm 2 years late but: Some songs have certain sounds panning back and forth instead of one side alone, how come?
so you can't undo/redo/tweak inserts/EQ done with the console right? if the modulated signal goes into the DAW/tape the way it is permanently, the only advantage of using a mixing console instead of an audio interface connected to a DAW is the analog/warm/diferent sound you get from it right?
So, I would really need to know how to properly record a sound. I guess it has to never reach the red but stay between green and yellow? Because the first cover I've recorded sounds bad because it was always in the red but I thought I had to have a nice big soundwave haha.. I downloaded some guitar tracks and checked their wave and now I'm using that to calibrate my sound. I'd really like an in-dept explanation on that.
You have to be hired to make every manual for hardware and software. In video format. Most other manuals are not so easy to understand to feel. And costs too much time. When it can just be explained the right way. The way you explain.
So, do you adjust and mix before you record it, or after, as in get it all ready? Like, if you stuff up the mix when you record it, can you just change it after you record it? or do you have to record it all over again?
Hi +General Shamic , You typically just set the optimal gain for each of the individual tracks that you record. So you don't really make the actual mix. -Meaning that we basically record all instruments louder than you will probably mix them in. And this has actually got to do with the noise that every recording has. (I will explain all that in a later tutorial where we are going to look at the whole recording process.) -However, we can do a non-destructive mix from the tape-return path for what we hear coming through the monitors during the recording session. During the mixing phase, after the recording, we start doing the actual mix. And that is where we can alter the sounds, make it all blend together, and mix everything down to our final mix. If you work with live musicians in your session, they will also receive a headphone signal to hear their fellow bandmates, metronome, samples, etc etc.. Typically you send them a headphone mix with use of an AUX or CUE send. If we kinda count that as a mix, you usually do three actual mixes for a recording : 1. The control-room mix that we monitor during recording. 2. The headphone mix for the musicians. 3. The actual mix. I hope that mostly answers your question. I will be doing many more recording and mixing related tutorials that might explain many other things that interest you as well. Cheers, Wick.
One mistake (at 6.02): On SSL AWS consoles, the FLIP button in the input section switches between the channel path's microphone and line-level inputs. It DOES NOT do a fader swap between the channel and monitor paths or swap the input source. Why SSL chose to label the control this way (rather than "LINE" as one finds on other brands) is anyone's guess. Otherwise, it's a nice video.
or the raw audio passes through the inserts/EQ everytime you playback them, and you only apply those permanently in the final master? I'm confused, I've only used audio interfaces haha.
I learned more from your 9yr old series than in the slew of modern vids I’ve been watching. Thanks!

never seen tutorials like these,very helpful
your channel is like a audio engineering institute itself....
Much better
The way you have explained this stuff is phenomenal.
Thank you 🙏

Really useful videos on mixing. Loving it.

I never thought I'd understand this subject... But you somehow managed. Brilliant work.
This is one of the best tutorials I've ever seen bar none. Thank you very much!

This 8 minutes video is a gold mine
These videos are a work of art. You are my new favorite channel.
Thank you so much for all these videos,so clear and easy to understand
To the point and focused. No icings Very well done 👍. Compared to most time wasting boasters. Thanks lot buddy...
Wow this is by far the easiest to understand tutorials on youtube! great job! thank you so much!
2:09 I think it's worth noting about phantom power (+48V) that this will destroy ribbon microphones, and isn't needed for others, so be sure to know what kind of power your microphone needs before you go toggling this switch!
man this guy is phenomenal!!
give this person a star on the walk of star
This is amazing!!! Ive looked far and wide for this information !
Yes indeed.. I will show and explain those situations later in this season.. but you're right on!
Hi, I'm still working on that.. will be released almost together with the book.. have actually been working on it yesterday.. Almost done (but needs to be perfect)
I'll keep you posted on twitter/facebook about it.
(I have so many things going on I would almost need to get some staff here haha)
Cheers!
Really appreciate the hard work you have put in! Incredibly informative series. Thank you so much!
This tutorial visualized a lot i could not vizualise. Thank you so much for this amazing content!
Thnks! Man this is so good! I have paused Adblocker. I rarely do that. Gonna watch all your videos multiple times coming days / weeks.
You video contents are amazing! Very well done, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Learned more than 100 techniques from this channel #WickieMedia
i`ve just watched every single video on your channel!thanks for your hard work)
Thank You !
These videos are very useful to me, very well done and explained,

Thank you! Your much better than some of my tachers
love it dont stop them coming
This is very informative. Thank you.
I'm an intern at at studio with a Neve 72 channel console. That thing is a monster.
Yeah watched it through again. You can bet you're arse this video is gonna be handy next time I stumble into a studio. Looking forward to the third installment.
Great tutorial! Thank you!
Very informative. Thank you 🙏🏻.
Wow this is some premium content. Thanks alot for making this series. Sub'd!!!
3:10 to remove high frequencies?
Nice work. I had to pause it a lot :) LOL!

wickiemedia Thanks mate that makes sense :)

Otherwise, it's a nice video.
The link to episode 3 at the end of this video still says "coming soon"
The Best Videos EVER!
or the raw audio passes through the inserts/EQ everytime you playback them, and you only apply those permanently in the final master? I'm confused, I've only used audio interfaces haha.
Hi wickI love these videos,,,,,
Please tell me what software you use to make your tutorial videos.??!!!???Please
When are you going to post that EQ chart in website what you promised last season?
can u make video on different daw like flstudio /cubase/different software
Good stuff!!!
Definitely not a channel recommended for a beginner. It's more of a refresher than a tutorial.
Thanks bro
Remember to make a spotlight annotation for Part III
Thank you
OMG Mannn! THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!
Welcome to 500N Sub! 🌹❤✋👍
Great 👏👌
some concrete example are missing...
por que no esta en español ?
:,(
I know you are doing a good job. I understand most of your videos, but this one is hard for me.
Wickiemedia where you from my buddy says Europe I say eastcoast of America (New York)
2022
oh yeah, just wanted to tell you, if I wasn't sure before, I am now, I do love you! :D
Sweeet!
B
After video 1, I have no idea what you're talking about anymore.
Huh! if you will not know the basic of it... you will easily get lost. Thanks!
ok you lost me lol
Superb tutorial. Thanks!
