      Hey! Listened to your songs and your singing is really good actually, you should hire a good producer to get a good production behind those vocals. The musical content is good, but you could become a real artist with a proper production and sounds. Id master one of those production for free if you would do it (:

      Wow! Stop comparing! I like the 'feel' the song thing. I think we strive to much to become someone else and not our self's. Great content. Could you use your way of explanation to explain some techniques. Like you did with width and depth? How to listen to compression and why you use it? How to give room for elements? Make a mix loud without squashing it. Don't show us just the plugins but try to say it in a way we learn to listen if you know what I mean. Thanks!!!

      @@TheHouseofKushTV I only mixed my own music until COVID, except live, which is more taming chaos than anything, on the club level, with shit acoustics, and a lot of times, shit musicians, and I never needed a reference, because I know how I want my music to sound. But when mixing others, I do think it can be very useful--but more for balancing overall tonality than anything else. Tonal Balance Control from Izotope is useful for this.

    Amazing advice as always. It took me a while to figure this out. I started looking at references through Tonal Balance Control and listening. I noticed that you really need to create your own mix down how you hear it in your head. And at the very end I’ll toss a random folder of reference track to kind of see if I’m in the ball park. If something appears higher or lower I’ll toss 4 or 5 sections of references and see how things match up. And make some adjustments. Like you said there are some tracks with heavier bass or lack of that still have their place and you have to really trust your own ears and feeling. This is seriously my favorite TH-cam channel for music tips. Thank you!

    Gregory - I’ve been mixing (seriously) for around 2 years, so still relatively green, and all your videos seem to be coming at just the right time for me - so thank you so much, you’re really helping me out loads - Keep it up! 👊

    Damn... This was a very timely video. I often just blindly chase the reference mix and it's energy but most of the times it is just causing unnecessary stress when in reality my track is sounding already pretty balanced and would work for what I intended to achieve with it. Thank you crazy man!

    My gf is hot, but when I start comparing her to other girls, there's always someone hotter. So the point is, I can have her change her hair or wear a different style skirt, but in the end she has her own vibe. In short if I tried to make my stuff sound like one of my favorite songs, I'd never get anything done.

    This is the second of your videos I've watched, and both times I've shared them on Facebook as examples of understated brilliance and wisdom. I'll have to go through the entire library, but it's good to let them percolate in my consciousness one at a time for a couple of weeks.

    Excellent advice! I don't use reference tracks very often because I don't find chasing stuff works very well. To use a few different tracks for a reference "feel" is definitely a different approach. This I will be doing for sure. Thanks Gregory!✌
