Joe, to be honest I've listened to you for the past two years, any time I have a new song to mix, your videos help me to improve my craft. Thank you keep the good work going.
Dude I just want to say that I’m a writer and performer who has recently realized how pivotal it would be if I could execute the recording and mixing side of my music as well. I’m pretty picky and was getting frustrated when my demos kept coming out only ‘good enough’ no matter how many ‘tricks’ I learned. After watching this, I went back to a ‘finished’ track and removed every single plugin. After 3 hours in that mix I had an infinitely cleaner sounding song on the first attempt of using only what you touched on in this video. I’m speechless. Let that be a testament to your teaching skills. Thank you a million times over for this resource.
Thank you so much for compiling those videos, Joe. I've recently been finding more and more the first three rules are basically what all the pros follow, and it's really helpful for me but...when you got to the part about eq ing and compressing the bus as a first thing...seeing if I can attenuate several tracks with a couple moves, even if it doesn't work. That one got me. TY!!!!
Hey Joe, I just want to say thank you! There are endless guidelines, tips and tricks out there. But I‘m so glad that I finally found you and your content
Love this channel. Home Studio Corner is one of three mixing channels that I will immediately click on when they come up in my feed. Joe, you're an excellent teacher. I've learned so much from you. Thank you.
I really appreciate your approach and how you explain things Joe. When you're first starting out, things become overwhelming and frustrating quite quickly. You provide a sense of structure when I find myself not knowing where to start. Thanks for the help !
This video was amazing thank you. I spent about 10 minutes on a tune I've been struggling to get sounding right. removed all the boosted eq and just raised the volumes instead and it already sounds so much better. Then did some slight EQ on the master to get punch, warm, full, clarity and air coming through. excellent.
Man, I've seen some of these videos you've included here in the past and they're awesome, but all together this created a stream of understanding for me like never before and I'm super grateful to you for that. My songwriting skills have always been better than my studio skills and I've been working for years on changing that at least to find a good efficient work flow balance and you're teachings are helping me a lot. I started with Graham through Recording Revolution years back when I had Pro Tools before I switched to Logic and that's how I found you. I appreciate your down to earth/real way of being and teaching and witt. I'm trying to be spongebob here, and soak up as much as possible so, thanks for all the help.
Hey Joe! Just want to say thanks for your videos! When I started getting into mixing I just watched A LOT of TH-cam videos. As I upgraded interfaces and gear it’d always land on new/used presonus gear. Now I have studio one artist and watch all the videos they provide with you and Gregor! All that to say I’m glad I landed on this video! It sums up the numerous youtube videos I’ve watched and confirms the ideas of mixing I am beginning to form! Thank you
🍀🍀🍀Honest and very useful insights from someone with years of hands-on experience. If you don't want to accept these findings for any reason, you can muddle through yourself more than would be necessary.😅
Yup. Thanks for bundling those. I’ve seen them all throughout the years but seeing them all at once make things clock even better. Especially complicated things like compression.
Home Studio Corner Clip Show ;) =] The reason for the old school title "balance engineer": The way recordings were made at the very beginning was the audio was directed toward a horn, which will vibrate and encode onto the cylinder (later on, on a record). The performers had to be positioned in the room in a way so that the final recording will sound more like what you would expect to hear as if they were performing before you. The engineers at the time would know who would go where to get that balanced recording, thus "balance engineers". I think there are seminars available demonstrating wax cylinder recordings that would make this point. It truly was a lost art amongst recording engineers. =]
That was one of the best videos to overview the basics and how to approach them. Thank you. 💯 Please, please, please can you do a deep dive into just vocals for voice-over? I will pay, sing, dance and gladly give you my son (the last one gladly). With AI generating even better voices, we need to up our game. I'm subscribing as the first sign of begging, and to let you know your channel is brilliant. 👍
Hey Joe, just wanted to hop in and say thank you for putting together and sharing all this info with us! Almost always give me the information I was seeking, and much more, along with some of the most helpful definitions and explanations! ! I can turn knobs all day! but, sometimes it's nice to know what they're actually doing 🤣
Ive been hoppin and a bopbin rappin and a tappin at the end of mixing and thinking im just so fantastic im the next big thing. And the next day, i listen to it and just erase the lot thinking how terrible it is.
Hi Joe, my friend sent me this vid suggesting I watch it. It's really top draw and I understood it all & forehead slapped myself. I wrote it all out with pencil & paper to strip back two new songs. Cheers man, Dave
Recently found your channel, and I like it very much. Also, you seem like a really good, genuine guy, and I’m sure we would be really good friends if we weren’t in separate parts of the world. Keep up the good work my man!
Awesome 3 subject excerpts. They actually touch upon a lot of known concepts subliminally, but not necessarily verbalized or characterized in steps. Thx Joe! I'll have to study Studio 1 a little more to learn how to send a grouping (sub mix) of tracks to an independent buss for plug inns. As an old analogue guy, I'm used to knobs and buttons. Finding the Studio 1 commands / pull down menus are sometimes challenging within the software. I am slowly getting better. Albeit, having the pressure of a 8-10 song project on deck is a great motivator LOL.
Hello, nice video ! I have a different approach to compression attack : On busses, I would work your way, but on single tracks, attack is my knob to add articulation. Delay the compression, what for ? On voices, it is my way to have more consonants, and have the vowels compressed. And I think this way for any instrument. Match the attack time to the emission speed of your instrument (typical 80ms for low instrument, 40 for mid, 20 for hi. To be adjusted by ear, namely if your threshold is deep low), and you get a more articulated sound. Tell me what you think !?
Great stuff but was expecting an extra step for checking the balance in mono, so the balance still holds given that we often don’t get to hear the perfect stereo image
Hey, Joe! Didn't you make a video about you being wrong about balance? Well, not completely, but you nuanced your tips about balance. I thought that was an interesting video too. You've done a lot of helpful videos, for sure!
Have a BR1600. I was struggling to equate the explination ( wave diagram ) with the knob values. I think a knob value of 100 is allowing only up to 100 into the mix. Anything above is not getting through. Turning it all the way up allows all the frequencies into the mix. Seems obvious now....but everything is a mystery when your in the first grade. The wave allows you to increase the amount of a desired frequency ??? . Can't do that with knobs. This was confusing me. You have a gift for teaching joe. Your funny too.
I'm one of those guys with destroyed high frequency hearing and I tend to bump it up just so I can hear it. Short of borrowing a fresh set of ears, how can I prevent my mix from developing too much high end?
No you don’t!!! That’s the point of the project page lol. It’s the mastering portion so you want your audio to be as dynamic as possible before it gets there. You’ll apply the limiter/maximizer during the mastering stage 👍
The proper trio I use for mastering is 40hz 80hz & 160hz, this is because they generate serotonin in the brain. Dump 50 and 70 hertz, the brain does not respond to them properly. Add 111hz for endorphins. Oddly enough the brain loves 315hz.

"...and you're gonna start tearing up and there'll be tears in your eyes dripping down your face. Take note of that." Lol. Love it
Dude, I've been mixing forever and stilll learn new stuff from your videos. This is really good content.
Man youre really a GREAT teacher!
He keeps your attention by having his personality come through. It's so cool 😂😎

I thank God I found your channel.
This video was so helpful in getting me to understand compression, and I went to music school 😂
congrats on 200k Joe!
Huzzah!
Love this channel. Home Studio Corner is one of three mixing channels that I will immediately click on when they come up in my feed. Joe, you're an excellent teacher. I've learned so much from you. Thank you.
Joe, I miss your old "Pencil 'N' Paper" videos. For some reason, I learn a lot more from them.
I really appreciate your approach and how you explain things Joe. When you're first starting out, things become overwhelming and frustrating quite quickly. You provide a sense of structure when I find myself not knowing where to start. Thanks for the help !
Always entertaining! I could listen to you talk about anything 😂
One of the best videos you will ever come across for producers and sound engineers
Hey, Joe! I took notes through the whole thing. Very concise and helpful :) Thank you for taking the time to simplify this for us!
2009 was the year I bought my first recording gear and found you, been following this channel since then, thanks for all you do!
PHENOMENAL video. Love your perspective on this
Incredible video with loads of understandable well taught information! Great job and thank you 🙏🏼
Awesome overview. I learned things!

I appreciate your video's Joe you been helping me develop as an Underground Artist ❗

Yay. New Home Studio Corner!
There are no rules but there are. That’s deep
That was one of the best videos to overview the basics and how to approach them. Thank you. 💯

Such a useful video, but the reference to the Contra code (and 2 player code) is what brought me to the like button 😂
Great content! Looking forward to applying these ideas in my mixes.
One of my favorite channels! Thank you!
You are inspiring and amazing

thank you for this video, really helpful 😮
Perfect breakdown and description Joe great work.
still learning :) thank you
Recently found your channel, and I like it very much.
Also, you seem like a really good, genuine guy, and I’m sure we would be really good friends if we weren’t in separate parts of the world.
Keep up the good work my man!
Thanks!❤️🔥
Great Vid Joe, clear and on the spot.
Thank you so much
This is pure gold

thanks for having an amazing channel Joe!
Thank you very much..
200k Yeaaahhh Joe!!!! Congrats!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Very good video(s). Useful information. Thanks Joe.
MUCH LOVE DUDE YOU TEACH WELL
This is getting saved - Thanks Joe 👍
Aside from the valuable content, I really like your sense of humor. :)
Brilliant
Great tips,Joe! Thank you very much!
I knew it. Rule number 4, goosebumps. LOL

It seems like the last vid should’ve been 1st 🤔at any rate, great series of vids… ✊🏾😎

Commenting for algorithm, great content 👍

That drawing 😁😂😁
Select start select start Joe😂
Golden😀
Joe got dem PHAT fingers
Hi from Ukraine! Can you tell me a name of your painting application?
Yooo what mic is that Joe ??
Sounds Clear & Crisp
One Question. Before sending my Mix to the project page, do i need a limiter on the Main Bus when exporting? of course there is no clipping.
No you don’t!!! That’s the point of the project page lol. It’s the mastering portion so you want your audio to be as dynamic as possible before it gets there. You’ll apply the limiter/maximizer during the mastering stage 👍
@@Landon_Dyer Thanx Landon, i thought so, but many people say you should do it to be save off clipping.
I can't download 5 mixing guide
that's funny oi just watched all these separately
My rule: Listen to Joe and Gregor before touching anything
Rule 14: Beer before liquor, never sicker. Liquor before beer, you're in the clear.
💓💓
I hope those super high frequencies aren't too important, 'cause I literally can't hear anything past like 16KHz. And I'm only 24. 😂
29:00
Build a house BEFORE you paint and furnish it.
I'm 7 minutes into this video: When covering the 5 Frequency ranges, why not provide audio examples instead of the names alone?
Open an EQ and boost 5K to hear it. 🙂
Get the recording right is 99% of a good mix , if you get it right from the beginning its easy to mix
The proper trio I use for mastering is 40hz 80hz & 160hz, this is because they generate serotonin in the brain. Dump 50 and 70 hertz, the brain does not respond to them properly. Add 111hz for endorphins. Oddly enough the brain loves 315hz.
He looks like that gay kids dad from glee
There's no Rules in Mixing so why make this video??? Doing Mixing is an art and there's nothing wrong if you're being creative doing mixing
Thank you sir
thank you for this video, really helpful 😮
