    There's so much wrong with this I don't even know where to begin

      To all critiques: Firstly, the idea to get it right at the source is completely on point, and I 100% agree. You should always be working with good recordings. However, it’s important to note this video means to explain the philosophy that is commonly used in highly successful tracks: make fewer big moves to enhance the energy of a song, instead of many smaller moves that could leave the mix sounding boring. It’s also important for you to remove static issues before hitting “submit,” and I appreciate this friendly reminder displayed by other comments. Secondly, the headphones I used for recording the RUclips video happen to work perfectly fine as a mixing tool, and many of my friends in highly successful mixing roles use them *in tandem* with their main monitors (particularly for checking the low end). This is a great tip to anyone reading: use different pieces of gear to check your tracks. Also, another comment touched on something critical for new mixers to grasp. Always start your mix by getting the volume fader in the right place! Lastly, I’d like to say, what works for me might not work for others, and I encourage anyone reading to keep on doing what produced them the best results. For example, my main mic tends to be on the darker side, meaning I need to make big EQ moves to brighten things up. In any case, this video aims to offer a different perspective from the popular notion that big moves (on EQ or not) are inherently problematic, or even, less than ideal. In fact, they can sound great if you let them. Another thing to keep in mind is to use saturation, which I will touch on in later videos. Peace to everyone, and keep up the great work!

    i would start with making the rapper record a new take , Eq can't fix a bad recording , its like putting a small bandaid on a stab wound, you could edit that static or audio issue before even trying to mix instead of trying to use eq to get rid of it

    Friend, you’re in the right direction in terms of the micro/macro stuff. But you also got many things wrong:
    1. You don’t have to make “big” moves in eq. What you actually need to do is record good sources and balance your volumes. In my opinion, the beat you played is too harsh for the vocal to sit on. Once you got that, it’s making corrections that are very small. If you wanna get a specific sound, you can push things.
    2. What is exciting is not our mixing, it’s the music. Every approach to making music “exciting“ is different.
    I don’t know what industry professionals you’re talking about, but seems like they’re giving wild advice. Here’s the truth: the best mixers work with the best producers that work with the best engineers that get the best sources from the best equipment.

    Eli the problem is the recording you cant fix that unless you change style and do a lofi reverb thing. you are right about not solo'ing and eq in context of the mix and dont swoop too much and do surgical eq's. well you can surgical eq but dont go over the top personally i never do it unless there is a very very bad resonance. also compress thirst then eq after if you want more glue in the sound make a bus with similar sounds then compress it after. by compressing i also mean limiting, soft/hard clipping, saturation. also if this is just a demo its fine but i noticed you are using headphones not built for mixing which is fine but look up calibrating your headphones just to give you a better understanding. autoeq into google then select harmen curve therets tutorials on YT. also huge boosts can be ok if you gainmatch a/b test but usually you want to avoid these huge phase issues
