TO ANYONE STRUGGLING WITH DEPTH IN YOUR MIX! Colt just gave a Masterclass on the bridge alone with the sound and visual example. Pay attention to the sound AND the visual of how the bridge path you walk on narrowing on your screen as you go back further from the microphone and camera. The rest of the video is of course stellar as well. Of course you nailed it Colt!
I have been watching many of your videos but I never commented. I couldn’t leave this video without a like and a comment. That is an excellent video. Thank you for simplifying this concept for us in a 12 minutes video.
Great video. Very informative. One other tool to help with depth would be a transient shaper. Turning down the transient attack also helps to push the sound back (similar to a compressor) Can also adjust the sustain.
This is fantastic and leaves me shaking my head wondering why I never thought about using HP/LP and width to create a sense of depth. I have always relied on only volume and reverb. Thanks a million, Colt!
Man, I have to say that your videos helped me to finally find my sound. Obviously there's always endless room for improvement, but the self doubts got less and less over the past two years. Thank you so much for your help!
Great video. One more thing: further away the direct and reverb signal or reflections become one, i.e. no pre delay. The closer something is, there can be much more delay between the direct sound and the reverb.
This was a great example of getting depth in the mix. Now the complicated part is how to determine what is far back and what is closer to you as a listener. In almost all band situations the band is usually within a few feet of each other and you want all parts to be heard in proportions to allow all elements to be heard with the vocals usually up front. This concept is easier to use for background vocals or effect vocals as they are usually pulled further back in the mix. In a dense mix I feel that the hard part is being able mix it so all parts are being heard. I watched an older mixer explain that our ears can only discern 4-5 sounds at the same time and to try to limit those elements that are most important at different times during a mix to to be most apparent while having less important elements for that part of the song pushed further back or maybe muting them out of a particular part of the song. I am interested to hear your thoughts on this. You are an absolute pleasure to learn from.
This was explained really well. I have such a better understanding of depth now and how sound reacts from further away, especially how sound narrows when further away. I have often made the mistake of leaving the reverb too wide and it didn't emulate the effect quite how I liked. Great demonstration, Colt.
I wish I could like this 2 or 3 times. Excellent way to demonstrate the concepts in the real world as well as the reel world. I'm looking forward to any other ways you can break thru the same tried and true (but disconnected) lessons.
Insane level of CLARITY in explaining such subtleties in hearing the never known nuances of audio.... Would really LOVE to see you doing a session on how to create different depth landscapes using delay & reverb... like placing sounds one after another in a front to back axis... thanks milions mate... 🤓🥇🎉🎉
Hey bro! That bridge explanation is fucking genius. Did that demonstration come to you in a dream because no other mix engineer has ever used that analogy before? Incredible
By far the best video you have made yet. My opinion of course. The stereo recording on the bridge was brilliant was of showing a real example of raw stereo effects. Thank you a bunch
Thank you, sir! Everybody is always talking about how to bring things forward in a mix. I've been trying to reverse-engineer those concepts for months trying to move things back. This tutorial is MEGA CLUTCH!
I love how you break it down into such a simple form. I've engineered for over 20 years and worked with some great ones. I'm a musician first and foremost, but keep on brining these vids that teach the basics of great mixing. EQ, Compression, and Automation are so important to a great foundation.
You have just changed my perspective on how to use reverb. That plug-in is stellar too. I was almost sold on liquid sonics but need to check this one out.
I watch all your videos and it's funny how the timing of this video aligned with what I was trying to improve on, very cool. I appreciate you sharing your wisdom.
Subscribed. Very few videos on this subject! I discovered eq as a way of moving things front to back but never considered compression as a factor. Of course, you are right! Congrats!Also the further back, the more mono-ised the sound source. Suggestion: Could you draw up a numeric pan/vol/rev value map for say vocal, BVs, drums & perc, bass, lead & rythmn gtrs, organ etc? Values for Pan range, Vol range, Rev range (default reverb, ie Hall), Tonal range Hz - kHz hi - lo pass points, compression values. Lot of work to do but a reference 'cheat sheet' would make 3-D mixing a breeze. Big cigar for the first person to come up with that! Don't say it can't be done folks because of course it can. You just need to apply some maths. It should be obvious that any event within a DAW has a math value and that all events in a musical piece happen over time. This is why the bpm value is so crucial. Front to back mixing has math values too, that's my proposed point. Volume has a range, eq has a range, echo and rev, chorus/flange etc. Human hearing has a range 20-20, eyesight also 20-20, everything resolves to maths, like it or not. A DAW is a number cruncher and the math process starts at the A/D converter in, and D/A converter out. Suck it up people! Lol! The hate I will get for this posting will be humungous!!! But if you don't agree, it's only because you haven't thought about it. Let's get those calculators out!
Very interesting....you recapitulated the bridge environment ...congrats....add to that a nice high dynamic range (in the over all mix) and you have a nice roomy space to breath in...i've been warming up to -17 LUFS, like in the old days....fun to crank those mixes.
Lovely concepts, applications, and analogies, as always. Can you or have you done a tutorial on mid/side EQ? Would love to get your insight and any tips you have regarding mid side. Thanks!
I saw the bridge example many many years ago and it always stuck with me. Wish I could remember who did it first to give credit.
The bridge demonstration is PERFECT. What a fantastic way to demonstrate this concept!

Im a French multi platinium engineer but your video just gave me a new perception of mixing ! Thanks for that

Thanks for watching!

NICE! Extremely helpful! Explanation at the top of the video was full of insight. Thanks Colt!
Great video, very helpful. And all without touching pre-delay, which can be a kiss of death when trying for depth. Took a while to learn that lesson.
By far the best explanation... I wish someone told me this when I started so I didn't have to figure absolutely everything out myself.

Brilliant analogy with the bridge. Have watched many of your vids but have subscribed for that alone , thanks!

What would happen if we add gentle distorsion to the sound? I think there's natural distorsion with the distance...
