Shit !!! I’m saying damn . Shit had so much energy and dynamics . Definitely listening to more of his mixes . SSL does wonders . If you know how to attack it . 🔥
Universal Audio is killing it with these master class style sessions with absolute industry leaders. I hope this has been paying off well for you all @ UA. We’d love to see this continue to 2021!
this really shows Guru's experience. From the not prepping or pre mixing to the way he explains while mixing. Both are great engineers but I really learned from Guru. He's a great teacher and hope to see more of him on here or twitch.
Yung Guru’s mix was definetly more smooth/warm but I love Cruz’s mix it’s more in your face and has that body to it and almost matches the energy of the song itself.
Both mixes were good. Guru's mix kept most of the dynamics intact and felt nice and punchy. Cruz's mix had more lofi appeal and felt warmer and cleaner. Great show, great information. Salute...
The composition as a whole is fire. Production was meaty while remaining comfortably minimalist. The insights on the mix from the two pro engineers is timeless wisdom. And of course the verse and chorus contributors have an important message to share.
Listening to this for like the 7th time... I understand more what I like about both mixes. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Cruz's Bassline and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Guru's Vocals. Mix the two and you have absolute PERFECTION! ✨
As I watch top tier engineers work, I feel like records which had been recorded very well through good equipment and the performance is spot on as well, are a lot easier to work with than with stuff recorded by people who don't have the knowledge or the time/money to make the initial material sound almost as good as the end product. Problem-solving skills are revealed in that field. Anyway, it's a very informative video, thanks for the content!
I felt like the fly on the wall, small and insignificant!!! But I have to give a big SHOUT OUT to all U guys for coming together And give back something To the lovers of HipHop & R&B Music!!! I am in my 50's and I enjoyed this thoroughly! This is For encouraging, inspiring & motivating the younger generations especially those in their teens and 20's. I could go on & on But Let me say : THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! This got me to make my 1st TH-cam comment.
Cruz!! is modern Mixing Youll Here In Hiphop Trap which is insane!! super presence in your face! ... i get guru was trying to teach but cruz mix for this song is perfect!
The idea of creating is lost in this but the sheer nature of good fortune is on display here and worth a look. It will spur you on. It does contain some reinforcement of great plugins - even if it hurts. But that’s DJ culture right? Deep down It’s all about the gateways - somone did get through to make this all happen. Thank you UA - unbiased education as always ❤️ faith in your own work rings out loud.
That song is a JAM damn i hope you guys put that on spotify Didn’t know the Anthony Cruz great guy !! 2 unique mix’s, at first i liked better Cruze mix but afterward that guru sound.. man!! Thanks UA !!
This was amazing. I learned so much, man that Guru is a beast, and Cruz showed me some tricks I will be using tonight, big ups to both of you, and thank you very much for sharing, also thanks to UA for this 3 part series you just made a fan and a consumer, one love to you all.
cruz got the mix while guru gave it more of a master feel. would be interesting to hear guru switch his cap around following cruz's mix. hella valuable masterclass. shout out UA
IDK My guy . I thought 💭 that at first but Guru can through hard . His mix has more of that NY feel which this track needed . Do you hear how the vocal pop out . But it’s to taste it would be up the artists and producers for the final cut .
Simply amazing guys! Young Guru, Bravo Zulu to you for your amazing knowledge and Cruz, outstanding! You both are truly professionals! I'm proud of you both and keep up the amazing work! Charles III
Happy to have witnessed this live. I fell asleep with TH-cam on and this came on autoplay in My sleep. I was in My dream Vibing trying to add My sauce to this lololol 😂 I actually fell in love with this song. So 🔥🔥
This was very informative. I actually thought only us beginners worried about what kind of equipment listeners would be using. I see the pros take this into consideration too and the steps they take to attempt to accommodate all listeners.
I just got my Apollo and trying to figure out which plug-ins to get, given the plethora of choices. This definitely helps narrow down the choices, especially since my genre is similar. Thx Guru and Cruz!
I honestly think Cruz mix was way better and upfront! Guru mix was more muddy to me. He also mix in solo 🤔. Overall very informative and great video and knowledge from both
I really wish that this wasn't timed...these cats, especially Guru, have opened me up to a ton of my faults to why my mixes don't translate. This was an incredible idea, give more time though. I love it when people of Gurus' caliber aren't afraid to give their knowledge. I've been watching everything he has out there lately, he gets straight to the point.
Absolute fire!!! Incredible production, brilliant writing/performing, quality recording & "Jedi Master-level mixing with impeccable efficiency. It was extremely informative, captivating & inspiring! Thank you to everyone involved in taking the time to create this phenomenal master class that will serve our beloved audio community. I've just learned so much that will enable my growth as an engineer & producer... I'm very grateful!!!
Great watching this! i wonder if i put as much bass as Cruz on my kick and bass it will blow my car speakers lol. I'm always facing having too much bass on kicks and bass, and eqing lower all day... how do they fix that problem i'm asking myself.
I like what GU did on his mix with bass and drums they were sitting right in the pocket. Sounds good on studio monitors... !!! I'm going to have to experiment more with tape. I have the ATR-102 and OMG on my master it really does add something extra. I'm saving up for the API summing. I need UAD to be more reasonable with the pricing on their plugins.... I feel like I'm having to do a lot of out of pocket for these plugins.
Their stuff is expensive. I've thought about buying into UAD. I just don't see the point of paying for plugins and then having to spend at least 8k to run a few plugins per track on an entire mix. I think it's dope what they've done. But at the regular price, you're paying around 3.5k for maybe ten plugins. You could get nice gear and plugins for cheap that will get you better results because they won't be limited by Uad DSP. The Sharc DSP chips cost nothing. You can buy them by the thousands for like $16 a chip. Invest in going hybrid.
@@JamarConley if I started down the rabbit hole of outboard gear I really would be broke. Think about it each outboard piece depending on what you get will cost around 2,000 a piece. I’m spending less by going the uad route. Yes the plug-in prices are ridiculous but the sound quality is definitely there and look at what the pro engineers are doing. Most are moving into the box and using uad stuff. They have said that the plugins sound like the real gear. I really wish the plug-in prices would fall in line with the rest of the Industry. Waves plugins are good and their emulations are on par with the real gear. Why can’t they match in pricing?
@@Ast3rixMusic I'm not saying get a lot of gear. But if you're chasing the Analog sound then that's a good route. Someone saying that something sounds like something else is subjective. Plugin Alliance makes some Brainworkx plugins and has great sounding plugins. Someone on here done a comparison of the same plugins with UAD and Native, theirs no difference. UAD makes great sounding plugins, but they don't need the useless DSP to run them. They're just overpriced, that's why.
@@JamarConley I’m staying in the box personally. I picked uad because of the sound of the gear and plugins. I am selective about what I buy from them . I use waves for a lot of effects but love using the master level plugins from uad. In the end I am blending regular vst’s with my uad plugins. The sound I’m getting... is amazing. I am using Luna as a console and using the neve summing and the tape plugins. To my ears It sounds like I’m in a big studio with million dollar gear.
@uad thank you for this video, I enjoyed it and learned a lot 🙏🏾 is it possible you can make another another movie with Young Guru on how he uses the Envetide H910 harmoniser?
Damn!! Guru's mix came out so buttery warm. I wanna stay in there all winter!
Shit !!! I’m saying damn . Shit had so much energy and dynamics . Definitely listening to more of his mixes . SSL does wonders . If you know how to attack it . 🔥
So you think it the ssl plug-in that did that
Universal Audio is killing it with these master class style sessions with absolute industry leaders. I hope this has been paying off well for you all @ UA. We’d love to see this continue to 2021!
👍
Young Guru dropping BIIIGGG knowledge
this really shows Guru's experience. From the not prepping or pre mixing to the way he explains while mixing. Both are great engineers but I really learned from Guru. He's a great teacher and hope to see more of him on here or twitch.
Yung Guru’s mix was definetly more smooth/warm but I love Cruz’s mix it’s more in your face and has that body to it and almost matches the energy of the song itself.
this is like a Christmas gift
🎄
I consistently come back to this video for reference on best practices! Guru is a legend!
Guru's mix has way more dynamics to my ears.
*The Clip gain King* 1:56:13, smooth and seamless gain staging to _level out vocals_ with only 3 moves❕❗❗❗❕ king🙌👏
Both mixes were good. Guru's mix kept most of the dynamics intact and felt nice and punchy. Cruz's mix had more lofi appeal and felt warmer and cleaner. Great show, great information. Salute...
This is a dream come true, to be in the same room with Guru, and Cruz; plus Ben, too. I’m in heaven now!
The composition as a whole is fire. Production was meaty while remaining comfortably minimalist. The insights on the mix from the two pro engineers is timeless wisdom. And of course the verse and chorus contributors have an important message to share.
I'm sure if we could ask them "why" show your process they tell you "to help keep the music we all love to listen to as good as possible." Respect!
Listening to this for like the 7th time... I understand more what I like about both mixes. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Cruz's Bassline and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Guru's Vocals. Mix the two and you have absolute PERFECTION! ✨
This is absolutely awesome to learn from. I've been watching this ALL morning here and there...😅 I hope there's more like this on this channel!
Love it... Guru’s mix is so smooth... great teacher as well
As I watch top tier engineers work, I feel like records which had been recorded very well through good equipment and the performance is spot on as well, are a lot easier to work with than with stuff recorded by people who don't have the knowledge or the time/money to make the initial material sound almost as good as the end product.

Haha yep!
Thats exactly the case

😍
UA this is absolutely incredible! I LOVE this mixing challenge with two legends! Very insightful the different ways you can go! Please do more!
The best mix video on TH-cam. Taught me that you can mix fast and on the fly. Inspired me to learn the plugins better and stick with what works
It's a great pleasure to listen to these guys
🥂
thank you this is been the most informative gain staging tut ive watched..
Guru leads sounded perfect. Cruz backgrounds and adlibs was perfect 👌🏽
I’d like to have heard both of them mixing the same session.
Facts . Guru was about to attack that .
Ultimately that’s probably how it’d work in a real life scenario
the lead was so clean i could hear he inside of her mouth 🤣
This whole thing was amazing. Big ups to Universal Audio & everyone involved!
👍
Guru is a national treasure!
I wish the rounds was longer
guru is at such a different level when it comes to his mixing.
Young Guru and Anthony Cruz thank you
Cruz!! is modern Mixing Youll Here In Hiphop Trap which is insane!! super presence in your face! ... i get guru was trying to teach but cruz mix for this song is perfect!
uad give guru a youtube mixing deal so he could do videos like these's
I saw an ad and decided to check your page out. This live stream was really interesting.
Those harmonies gave me chills. Bless up!
👍
This was so dope and so informative! Can't believe UA is putting this kind of masterclass up for free! Appreciate you guys!!! 🙏🏼
😍
@@UniversalAudio 💎’s
They should, their plugins cost a million bucks.
True indeed bro! I guess everyone isn't all about pimping.
555
Two different approaches to mixing. This is so dope
Guru mix is fire!!
please more sessions like this uad
That was awesome. The mix-off is something tought me more than almost anything else.
Learned so much and thank you for doing this
👍
@@UniversalAudio guru needs his own style plugin uad
The idea of creating is lost in this but the sheer nature of good fortune is on display here and worth a look. It will spur you on.
It does contain some reinforcement of great plugins - even if it hurts.
But that’s DJ culture right?

Didn’t know the Anthony Cruz great guy !!

Universal audio great job with love from Nigeria.....
"Knowing this EQ" ... "Knowing this compressor" ... "Knowing this gear so well". That's the sign of a good producer right there.
Guru is a rockstar to me 🔥
cruz got the mix while guru gave it more of a master feel. would be interesting to hear guru switch his cap around following cruz's mix. hella valuable masterclass. shout out UA

They definitely should have sent each other’s mixes to one another 😂
this is a young guru masterclass !! i love it
THIS was super-informative. Super-grateful for the wisdom and experience being shared. Gratitude Legends!!
👍
Simply amazing guys! Young Guru, Bravo Zulu to you for your amazing knowledge and Cruz, outstanding! You both are truly professionals! I'm proud of you both and keep up the amazing work! Charles III
There is so much to learn from this video.
Maybe I could keep watching them for a day or two straight... ;-)))
Cool!
Thank you UAD...Thank YOU!!!! Wish that Guru and Cruz could do this more often...not a lot of good content on mixing Hip Hop online!!!
Our pleasure!
Happy to have witnessed this live. I fell asleep with TH-cam on and this came on autoplay in My sleep. I was in My dream Vibing trying to add My sauce to this lololol 😂 I actually fell in love with this song. So 🔥🔥
Me too 😭😭😭
Me Toooooooo !!!!!!!!
We need a part 2 this and the video before this one were very informative.
Thank you UA for these sessions. Wow Guru and Cruz crushed it as always. Listening from Santa Cruz. Peace.
This is beyond GREAT! Thanks!
Thank you very much, this is gold!
gems all around!
This video is gold! Guru is one of my favorite mix engineers. Thanks for giving us this inside look.
Anthony Cruz is a beast! he smashed this mix
How dope would it be. UA release the stems for this session with some UA plugins for us to use with our students
We plan to!
Gurus looked 21 forever lol never ages
looks 37 to me...maybe check ur eyes LMAO!
@@MacReviewzOnline That's still younger than what he is Guru livin right.

SUCH A DOPE MIX OFF. thank you for hosting this UA
👍
Thank you so much guys for uploading this gem. Was worth it every second ❤
👍
This is dope asf. Perfect timing too was looking for something like this.
Learned so much. Thank you.
You're welcome. 👍🏻
This was amazing
👍🏻
Nice one Universal Audio, nice one Anthony Cruz...(I love ur sound)nice one guru....u have ur sound....great job guys....
I just got my Apollo and trying to figure out which plug-ins to get, given the plethora of choices. This definitely helps narrow down the choices, especially since my genre is similar. Thx Guru and Cruz!
👍
This is a true masterclass
@32:12 You start to hear exactly who is behind the sound on Jay-Z's Blueprint(Momma loves me). GURU is THE GOAT
Awesome content!
Guru given CRAZY sauce!!! 🔥🔥🔥
this was definitely worth the time
I honestly think Cruz mix was way better and upfront! Guru mix was more muddy to me. He also mix in solo 🤔. Overall very informative and great video and knowledge from both
lmao Young Guru calling out Cruz for prepping is hilarious
This was so helpful champs - learnt so much from this 1 hour alone.
We need another one.. but UA no time limits.. let the man teach 😂
I really wish that this wasn't timed...these cats, especially Guru, have opened me up to a ton of my faults to why my mixes don't translate. This was an incredible idea, give more time though. I love it when people of Gurus' caliber aren't afraid to give their knowledge. I've been watching everything he has out there lately, he gets straight to the point.
Same. He kept cutting them off at some of the most informative parts. 😖
21:13 It's an excellent point.
Absolute gem of a video
Oh man this is soo DOPE! I’d LOVE to see more of these!
👍🏻
Anthony with the nonchalant "pause" and right back to mixing 😂
thamks uad amazing stuff a loern to day
When guru was going in on the vocals 😩 Bruhhh
love that session guys for real
this video was great I learned a lot and it confirmed some things I knew already, so thanks so much for this video‼️
