    love how there is always a different approach to each mix and its never just the same exact sequence of plugins which also means that its important to know exactly what plugin does and how you can use it to bring that sauce like wavy into the mix

    Lydia is always great behind the mic. Y’all should do microphone performance with Lydia. Details on keeping ur cadence, delivery, basically how to treat ur voice as an instrument with the beat. 💪🏾 Also 😊 I know she can sing, but def would love to hear her rap. Thanks Wavy 😊

    Hey Wavy Wayne, I just want to start off by saying thank you very much for all that you've done mane. For real you taught me so much when it comes to engineering vocals and I've come a long way before from the beginning. Now I don't need to rely un unreliable engineers who don't care about your music and only care about how much they can get out of your wallet. Being and independent artist is very difficult when finding the righ people you can trust and building your reliable team that will help you get to the next level in your music career. In addition all your videos are loud and clear and I love your choice of words, I can tell you're a very high intellectual person, a true genius. Awesome job man you've made my life so much easier in that I can work on my songs in confidence. You're phenomenal teacher man keep doing your thing, thank you again!

    The Problem im pretty sure every one is having is that most people who teaches how to mix , they raw vocals be sounding great from the beggining ... we will mix for hrs and still wouldnt have a clean sound as the teachers raw mix ( not blaming the teacher ) better equipment is definitely a plus
    all i have is a akg c214 , a apogee duet 2 , and a laptop ( treated room and a kiotica ball ) what else to i need to get a clean take from jump
