I'm in the process of watching your tuning post and I just wanted to share a little trick I learned from years of playing guitar and playing with different alternate tunings. I bend the strings as I'm tuning them. This helps them stay in tune longer than if I don't stretch them. I've historically used an Ibanez dreadnought acoustic guitar and bronze wound medium Guage strings and I fingerstyle pick. So my guitar will usually stay in tune for sometimes years needing only slight adjustments.
Once you figure that out, mixing gets a lot easier. Just takes trust and confidence in your abilities. Referencing other songs helps too haha. And I haven’t used sonar works but I’ve heard good things. I like my arc studio because it’s got a hardware unit for realtime. I think sonar is software based and adds latency?
@@ProducerJosh Interesting, I have been using the trial version for a couple of months and I'm finding it helpful. Unfortunately, I am mixing in an unfinished basement for now (So no acoustic treatment). Sound ID Reference has helped me identify that I wasn't hearing the low end in my room so I was turning it up too much and it was too loud elsewhere. I have not encountered latency yet, but I also have not tracked with it on. Sounds like you are tracking with the ARC?
Ahh yeah, I’m tracking with ARC. I believe with sonar you will get latency and usually have to disable it when tracking. But for purely mixing and such it totally works! And even just filling out the basement with random stuff can help if you can’t get treatment. I used to have my stuff in a very empty wooden floor room and it’s tough.
Hey Josh! what kinda configuration / setup do you guys have with NS10s + subwoofers that you mentioned in the beginning? What's your process like mixing on this setup? I'm curious cause i have a pair of ns10 and just put a sub and am trying to learn it
So at the studio I work at. We use two subs in stereo. And run that through a dbx speaker management system to eq and adjust volumes. I also low cut the ns10s to let the subs take that over. But not by much. At my personal studio I use a subpac and the ns-10s. Recently got the ARC system for my setup and it’s night and day
Everyone is in such denial yamaha is all u need they are king just deal with it. It is what it is older analog tech will always be better full stop. Hence why everyone is going back eventually
Let me know if you have any questions about producing and mixing you’d like answered! 😁
I always tell my artists”I’m whatever you need me to be”.
Makes for an eclectic job description haha

Thanks for watching! I definitely bend a bit when I’m tuning too. Really helps stretching your strips to break them in
thank you guys for the good information
Thanks for watching 🙏
Great video as always ☺️.
Thanks for watching 😁
Thank you!!!
Thank you for watching!!!
@@ProducerJosh you're welcome!!!
That's funny. Agree - One of my favorite mix reference songs is Life Is A Highway - Rascal Flats version. It just cranks👍
Had to pull it up again when I read this. It just hits every time haha 🤘
@@ProducerJosh Cool!
Let’s gooooo
Life is a highwayyyy 🎧
thanks for having me on the channel!
Love having ya!
"Knowing when to call it done!" That's the hardest part! Have you ever used Sonar Works Sound ID Reference? If so, thoughts?
