That actually didn't explain the difference of those two things. At least if you listen to what he is saying. If you read the text above you'll get at least some information.
Please notice that this guy is doing it, and it can not suit you at all. I don't like this approach as I find it counter-productive most of the time : I'm often EQing back on sources and realizing that it's the opposite of the mixbus eq : unecessary phase issues. I prefer to use sub-busses (a drumbus, vocal bus, keys bus, lead bus..etc) and to apply eq on these only if the whole sub-bus need it. For instance, this guy is talking about bringing some air to the mixbus : I prefer to add air on 1-2 elements in the mix to create contrast while mixing, then maybe add a very little touch at mastering. Adding air to everything at the beginning of the mix is -for me- the best way to have to remove it later. What you need is contrast, and mixbus eqing (I'm talking about early stages) is not the way to do. I find always better to get a good sounding mix with minimal moves, then apply mixbus processing if you're happy with your mix : some compression for density, sometimes some eq for sweeter sound (not to resolve issues)...etc The only reason where I would use mixbus processing at early stages is when the whole recordings would benefit from the use of a very particular mixbus compressor : vari-mu style most of the time. These compressors may require to mix into it as these can really transform your sound in a way you don't want for an already nice-sounding mix. Mastering is a different approach : corrective eq, loudness, dynamics, stereo in mind to make the song fits the standard and/or the rest of a project.
Nope. If you're track is bright enough why would you boost the highs? if some sound sources are too dull then maybe it's not suppose to live in the high/high-mids like you wanted. I'm sorry but these are rookie mistakes that you wrote here.

Genius 👍🏽

here’s the secret…The producer makes everything sound great before it touches the mixers hand.
Thank you
It's actually what most amateur producers don't realize. Sound selection is everything!

Very well said
I think I’m gonna go with the advice of the Grammy nominated engineers here. Seems like it works well.
@@FrequencyRange3 useless comment, added nothing of value
thank you, but I prefer luca pretolesi's advice

mixbus and mastering chain are two completely different things
