My grandfather used to say "before you can be better than someone (at something), you first have to be as good as them"!
just today I was listening to a bunch of songs in my car from one of my favorite bands and I was really paying attention to the guitars and synths… how they were layered and panned. I came home and called up some of my own mixes and I really had some firm direction on what I needed to do. Thanks Joe!
The mute tip was effective right away, as I watched this while coincidentally trying to find a problem in the high treble region inside my mix. I thought the problem was with the hi hats or overheads because the treble was too sharp / overcrowded. I muted my drum bus and turns out the problem still exists and I finally found the source. I got a synth pattern with too much treble boost above 8k and it masked other high frequencies. Turned off the treble boost on the synth and now both the cymbals and hi hats can finally breathe!
Thanks again Joe for another great vid. A lot of what I've learned from you went into the mixes of my album I just released last week. I can't imagine what it would've sounded like if I hadn't applied what I learned.
😃Great encouragement Joe. Thanks
thanks Joe!
So excited that I finally heard what Joe heard
Amen!
Thanks Joe!
Thanks Joe. Great info as always. I didn't care for the writing in The Martian at all. I actually stopped reading a few chapters in which I rarely do. That's what makes a horse race as the saying goes.
Hey Joe, I appreciate your videos & you are a big inspiration of making the switch to Studio One from Logic/Pro-tools.. I am on a StudioLive24 (classic) and wondering what your current primary interface you prefer? I've always pref. firewire/thunderbolt and hesitant of usb, but are the newer presonus usb-c clean & sturdy? At the moment I have to track with a macpro pillbox & studioLive, then use a Focusrite hooked to my ns10ms and mix with a up-to-date m2 mac, kinda a drag since mac discontinued firewire support. I see you use mostly the same gear I always have and seem to work very similar, I hope to hear what you would recommend and what you use mostly these days.

I based my background vocal style on the Steve Miller Band... I don't sound like the Steve Miller Band... lol...
Hey, man Don't laugh I'm a rookie, what does the frequency knob do on an analog sound bard?
Depends on the board and the sound module that the knob is controlling. But about 99% of the time on a mixing board that's gonna be a EQ. You set it to the frequency you want to raise or lower with the "level" knob/knobs that should be somewhere really close to it. Set it to a low frequency and you can raise or lower the EQ curve of the bass frequencies. Set it to a high frequency and you're affecting the treble's.
@EricJohnson-fh8zj Hmm ok!
@@jerryhuseby6766 I should add that if there's no "level" knob, than it's most likely gonna be high/low pass filter. Similar concept to EQ except it will basically completely cut out all the frequencies below or above the frequency you set it at (above if it it's low pass, below if it's high pass). Use it to cut low end rumble or shrill high end frequencies.
Typically low pass is more common on those boards, or there could be a button to switch between high/low pass. Just play around with it and you'll figure out wich one it is. Good luck
@EricJohnson-fh8zj Wow, ok I see what your saying. Thank you
Knowledge > ignorance
In all your videos, you talk so much to say so little. Stay safe and good luck.
Yeah that's me, hi, I'm that guy, No iNfluEncE is NeEded. How you get these video ideas?
Feels like you fr calling me out

Hey man, you speak very low but sing very high, i mean, your singing is Great, why dont you make a “sing better” video? That would be amazing
A lot of modern music sounds better if muted.
A lot of comments are better unwritten.
