    This man showed me the power of a console. I just didn’t get it until I watched him work. Testing and adjusting the whole mix in real time is so key, we need to return to it.

    CLA is real good, but what is important to say as well is its easier to be a great mixer when you work with real good takes or recordings. In our mediocre home studios mixing badly recorded tracks is always harder to get good final results in no time no matter how your ears are trained:)

      @@TM42 To that end, when CLA is shitting on a mouse and PC versus a large console, YES, hands on is best, but you can fit that HUGE console inside that laptop and create automations to achieve largely the same outcome. He knows and is comfortable with a console mixer. Some are better suited due to their own comfortability with a all digital interface.

    Seems like a commercial for SSL. Good info here but not sure how many people can afford a setup like that. And considering how many good mixes I've heard "using a mouse", I'd say that that setup is a bit overkill. And lastly, everytime I see these instructional sort of mix videos, it's always a huge bombastic blaster song that's being demonstrated. Not a lot of dynamics at all in that tune. Its just LOUD.
