Best Mixing Class On TH-cam I've Seen So Far
Not bad huh? Love his 5 points, which are so helpful to keeping good focus.
Tony Maserati has some good Videos too
LOFTYLIFE very informative.
So glad that you are mentioning checking for phase! I get projects from aspiring artists who need some mixing work & I run into this problem a lot. I use to accept stereo mixes but I can't anymore bc I have to bring out every trick in the book to fix the phase. So I always go with the splits & sometimes stems. Great video BTW!
"Aye yo my mic is sounding bugged Bob Power you there? (yeah)"
Adjust the bass and treble make my shit sound clear
That’s always the best comment on Bob Power videos . My life is QTip quotes
Thanks for this! Bob's a good teacher...delivery is on point.
I so completely love when our amazing legends step out to expose us to their well-worn and war-torn secrets of the studio! However, is it too much to ask that whoever places a lavaliere mic on the person speaking do a check first to ensure CLARITY? I have seen so many of these that look great but with muffled spoken word. I want to hear what he is saying without swimming my way through 400-600Hz mud.
Hi from a musician/Violin/Pianist who for some reason built a 2 room Studio in the UK:) A very enjoyable video!
This is remarkable. He's catching things by ear that I couldn't detect.
Thanks Bob Power. I'm slowly understanding headroom in the software. I get it as a concept, and know what I should be hearing. I can hear it in many of the covers I love. It's just trying to understand my DAW, and how to use it to get the depth, height, and width for all the tracks to be heard. So far seems to be mostly playing around with my old multi track projects. So experience. Each time I play with the same one, it sometimes just sounds different, then finally sounds closer to what I want to hear. And the source tracks aren't that great, so it's also showing me just how powerful a DAW can be. Unfortunately I was led astray by a "Friend" who I believed knew what they were talking about. So I had some silly ideas to clear out.
this was great! keep up the amazing work, RBMA!
respect
Did anyone practice with the 5 concepts he talked about? I was wondering if anyone played around with each of the five concepts in each of the three levels of focus? Example: a kick that is 1. Low Pitch 2. Loud 3. Dark Tamber 4. very articulate 5. medium level of activity. There are so many options here and I was wondering if anyone had found some cool combinations?
Bob Power you there?
In his list of 5 things I think he forgot one - ambience. how reverberant or dry something can sound based on the room or mic placement or added processing. not to try and sound like i know more than him obviously.
Amazing studio
GOLDEN INFORMATION
wish this were longer.
Genius
SilverBeat, thanks you Bob
this is truly a great video
great....love the tips...thanks...
lol his face @ 9:17 when his assistant doesnt stop the playback lol
The lav mic on him killed it :(
A shame for a session like that
I sure hope that guy in the background managed to keep up with all his social media feeds.
I mean, what better time to constantly check your phone than when you're in the studio with legendary Bob Power?
He could be taking notes.....that is a thing on the phone though so.....
flappy birds
be the same guy who'll say that he didn't learn anything from this legend.
Yes, because his social media bullshit is more important than learing a trade. Millenials wasting space/oxygen again...sigh

if you believe that then I got some real estate on Mars I can sell you 😏.
"A lifetime quest..." no pun intended.
good stuff
He’s the shit!
Bob Power??? lol. Red Bull studios! What amazing studios you have! (googled it) Omg!
Gimme that room
I want to know about the fight he got in that hurt his hand.
Whats with the occasional digital 'click'' noise ?
In example @ the 3:30 mark
track name please!
the youtube audio track is mono, and it is preventing me to learn anything from the video, it was a good presentation, but it's a flop show because of the mono audio.
the word(tambre or somthng) he said to describe bright and brrrggh at 0:35 how do i write that, and what is it called in german
frantisek veselovskyJR The word is timbre in both English and German.
What is the name of the track?
+Joshia Seam

It was just released yesterday
Looks Like Jamie Lidell sitting upfront and Center!
It always surprises me to see these great engineers in specially designed studios with expensive monitoring systems........with a heap of hair covering their ears.
in the same way one can learn their monitors, one can surely learn the way ones hair affects sound.
Yo whats the song?!
+fhoplist
www.amazon.com/Rubbernecker/dp/B012JWA0MY
It was released yesterday
cool stuff :)
This guy speaks the language of sounds lol. #Jakehunter88
not my type of music but pretty good video!
What artist is this?
Bob Ross looks different
Jesus, Richard Branson has his finger in many pies, what next? a chef?
Please do not blaspheme the name of our our Saviour just to make a point.
@@Sixalienasa Jebus CHRIST! Hey, there really was a guy named Jebus Christ back then. He wasn't a savior by trade but he could cook a mean leg of lamb and make it disappear. Hey, did you know that there are thousands of Mexicans named Jesus? So, unless you know DOGOID was talking about Jesus CHRIST, then you owe him an apology!
Hack location sound guy, rustle city. If you can't hide a mic clean on that outfit, you should hang it up.
Sounds like Tori Amos.
Some of the songs people use in these videos to work on a mix are terrible! Lol was same way in music school.
This guy is really making things more mysterious than they are and overcomplicating things while also assuming knowledge of others. Awful way to teach because he actually has useful information buried in there!
The singing was awful
If I was mixing this, I’d take the vocal out entirely. Lousy.
Man, what a great engineer. Seriously articulate. Great ear.
I learn so much in those 1st 2 minutes thts wild crazy
Just watched 2 or 3 vids from this guy and i learned a lot from him. He explains clearly and with a lot of animations of the sounds he is describing, which helps a awful lot because this is youtube and we're listening on cheap sound systems and most of the time its hard to hear whats being done to the music. Bob realises this and adapts accordingly which is great way of imparting the Knowledge we are all trying to learn. He describes in detail how stuff (low,mids etc) build up in a mix over time better than anybody i've looked at.
Thanks Bob......
It could be the kids on phones are just taking notes. The trick is to keep your own concentration and not be sidetracked by having to make judgement calls on everyone around you. Live and let live. Or mind your own business. I Couldn't find one interesting comment here that expands on this great presentation from Bob.
Roni Francois Why not just film if that's the case. Not that I really care. IJS though. They WERE fucking off. LOL.
try taking your own advice then.
Without direct stereo from the desk it's not as good as it could be
As a previous poster commented and for those who don't know the song is
Olga Bell - "Rubbernecker"
Thank you!
Great engineer but somehow the video is confusing.
Maybe a longer and better cutted video would have explained some passages accurately.
Yeah horrible editing.
agreed
there's a much longer version. Just search for bob Power masterclass, he breaks things down over the course of an hour and walks through his mix of a song as well as expands upon the opening concepts.
Didnt know rob Ryan was an engineer!? Amazing engineer,terrible defensive coordinator:(
Sounds like a Bjork thing. Cool.
The song is Rubbernecker by Olga Bell but it hasn't been released yet.
i just wanna say thanks, cause now i don't have to spend 10,000 at recording school,
...who is that he's mixing as an example in this clip? I need to know...that track is amazing.
The vocals sound a lot like Simonne Jones.
word.
that sounds so good. dope bassline. bjorklike vocals.
probably something unreleased
Great explanation! One of the best mixing engineers that can teach actually, no doubt.
The guy with the black/red hat seems bored. He just could got out of the studio and period. I would kill to be in person in this kind of masterclass and that guy is playing around with his phone, Seriously?
Big question, who is the smartest singer you ever worked with sonically, who knew thier instrument the best(?voice, what it needed) asking all the engineers
Really good stuff!
Anything Bob Power shares is worth listening to & putting into practice to see if/how it can work for you. Thanks to Mr. Power for always sharing his knowledge. Anyone know of any other videos of Bob mixing an entire track? =)
Bunch of spoiled brats on their phones that don't want to be there. If i had an opportunity to be there, I would! People like the kids that are on their phones that need to be working in the mall and not crowding up the music industry with their bull shit. Guy is the Einstein of Audio Engineering! Listen!!!!!
Openkeys Who said they didn't want to be there ?
you must be one of the idiots on their phone.
Openkeys Your life will be much better when you lose the negativity.
Did you ever think they're possibly taking notes? 🙄
Bob is simply superb when he imparts his knowledge on sound structure in a musical whole. There are experts and there are master craftsmen... I will put him in later category...
Definitely a Master legend in the game.
I always mix better after watching a Bob Power video.
Where the Fuck is the rest of this session. Can not believe you post something so useful and then cut it off in mid stream.
the artist is Olga Bell, but I don't recognize the song
+darwindeeez 'Rubbernecker' soundcloud.com/bellinspace/rubbernecker
thx
Lowkey trash
you cant polish a turd
You remind me of Dave Pensado
Creat stuff
this was the best thing in the entire world. Number one thing. Trust your ear. I will never forget this in all my engineering days.
Love
I am sitting back sipping on a 473 ml Red Bull right now before I go busking...if I drink while busking I'll get all gassy and burp in the middle of songs!
jamie lidell just chilling on the ground no big deal
Dude was dropping gems from the start of the video.
there's a digital clip around :47
Scared the crap out of me lol
Oh another at 3:29
just a heads up. Love the video
3:44 YO, CAN SOMEBODY KNOCK THE MOTHAFUKIN PHONE OUT OF THE HANDS FROM THAT GUY WITH THE HAT...SMH. OTHER PPL WITH THE REAL DESIRE TO BE ON HIS POSITION LISTENING TO THIS GUY TALKING ABOUT AUDIO AND HES JUST RIGHT THERE PROBABLY MESSAGING OR IN SOCIAL MEDIA . WTF...HE SURELY DIDNT DESERVE TO BE THERE THAT DAY.
Might be taking notes
If you are anything but a complete newbie, this is actually very boring.
Is the guy in the corner wearing a Coca Cola cap or why is it censored? :P
Ive taught myself to mix and I think the most important thing he said was "can you hear everything?"
What about those background guys ? Seems like they aren't interested
Oh, but he forgot to tuck in his shirt... TMI
anyone notice the guys baseball cap is censored out? wonder whats on it😳
Bob power you there?
Yeah
Bit on compression was so helpful
The Bob Ross of music!
what is the song though?
I NEED TO KNOW THE SONG!! IM WATCHING THIS THE THIRD TIME SIMPLY BECAUSE THE MUSIC IS SO GREAT!!!!!

I hope his hand tattoo healed well.
He said this in another tutorial too but it’s one of the best take homes and always sticks wit me ,
“ can you hear everything?”
My goodness what is the name of this classy tune? please save me the two year search... ..
Somebody please help me to get through my question..i always've been heard about "low level monitoring" when you doing a mix. but what im seeing here is bob's monitoring level is so higher than i expected.. is it normal to listen music in that high level when you doing mix?? i mean, by the fletcher munson curve, his ear won't disern the differences between high and low frequency level in a minute if he keeps his monitoring level that high.
roey izhaki provided some cool sub harmonic mixes for his book mix elements. i really appreciate Bob kicking off his clinic with a sub harmonic dilemma....
got to be way harder now for producers, having to mix mostly horrible toneless midi tracks for people who just can't hear to start with..... ouch.
This is so difficult to understand
