    Just watched 2 or 3 vids from this guy and i learned a lot from him. He explains clearly and with a lot of animations of the sounds he is describing, which helps a awful lot because this is youtube and we're listening on cheap sound systems and most of the time its hard to hear whats being done to the music. Bob realises this and adapts accordingly which is great way of imparting the Knowledge we are all trying to learn. He describes in detail how stuff (low,mids etc) build up in a mix over time better than anybody i've looked at.
    Thanks Bob......

    It could be the kids on phones are just taking notes. The trick is to keep your own concentration and not be sidetracked by having to make judgement calls on everyone around you. Live and let live. Or mind your own business. I Couldn't find one interesting comment here that expands on this great presentation from Bob.

    So glad that you are mentioning checking for phase! I get projects from aspiring artists who need some mixing work & I run into this problem a lot. I use to accept stereo mixes but I can't anymore bc I have to bring out every trick in the book to fix the phase. So I always go with the splits & sometimes stems. Great video BTW!

    Thanks Bob Power. I'm slowly understanding headroom in the software. I get it as a concept, and know what I should be hearing. I can hear it in many of the covers I love. It's just trying to understand my DAW, and how to use it to get the depth, height, and width for all the tracks to be heard. So far seems to be mostly playing around with my old multi track projects. So experience. Each time I play with the same one, it sometimes just sounds different, then finally sounds closer to what I want to hear. And the source tracks aren't that great, so it's also showing me just how powerful a DAW can be. Unfortunately I was led astray by a "Friend" who I believed knew what they were talking about. So I had some silly ideas to clear out.

    I so completely love when our amazing legends step out to expose us to their well-worn and war-torn secrets of the studio! However, is it too much to ask that whoever places a lavaliere mic on the person speaking do a check first to ensure CLARITY? I have seen so many of these that look great but with muffled spoken word. I want to hear what he is saying without swimming my way through 400-600Hz mud.

Low Pitch 2. Loud 3. Dark Tamber 4. very articulate 5. medium level of activity. There are so many options here and I was wondering if anyone had found some cool combinations?

    Somebody please help me to get through my question..i always've been heard about "low level monitoring" when you doing a mix. but what im seeing here is bob's monitoring level is so higher than i expected.. is it normal to listen music in that high level when you doing mix?? i mean, by the fletcher munson curve, his ear won't disern the differences between high and low frequency level in a minute if he keeps his monitoring level that high.
