Marc Daniel Nelson is a GRAMMY-nominated producer and mixer for music and film. He has been producing, mixing, as well as managing artists for nearly 20 years. Coming up under legendary producers/engineers Bill Schnee (Steely Dan, Chicago) and Ken Caillat (Fleetwood Mac, Beach Boys), Marc has been mentored in impeccable sound quality and production.
Marc had the pleasure of mixing Colbie Caillat’s single “Goldmine” featured on her 2016 album, The Malibu Sessions.
He’s very kindly joined us to break down the entire mixing process for the single. The song and album were produced by premier rock/country producer John Shanks: GRAMMY Producer of the Year in 2005 and 6-time GRAMMY nominee with 45 #1 singles and 91 #1 albums to his name.
“Goldmine” is expertly mixed by Marc, and a fine example of Shanks’s hit-making production and songwriting input which has found a home with artists like Bon Jovi, Goo Goo Dolls, Sheryl Crow, Kelly Clarkson, Nelly Furtado, Van Halen, and dozens more.
Colbie’s father, Ken Caillat, produced all of her work between 2007 and 2012, splitting the task with Shanks in 2009 for Breakthrough. Ken is perhaps best known for engineering Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours and Tusk, as well as working with artists like Billy Idol, the Beach Boys, Frank Sinatra, Herbie Hancock, Alice Cooper, and many others.
With The Malibu Sessions, it was the first time in her decade-long career that Colbie Caillat made an album exactly the way she wanted. She chose to work outside traditional studios and make the album over a two-month period in a rented house on Broad Beach in Malibu, California.
She spoke of the album’s creation: “I knew that I wanted to change the way I’d been recording,” adding that making the rounds of endless meetings with producers and songwriters as she’d done for past efforts “took the fun out of it. I made a promise to myself that when I recorded the next album, I’d do it this way.”
On The Malibu Sessions, Caillat, who has sold more than 20 million singles worldwide, rented a house and moved in her musical “family,” including longtime collaborator Jason Reeves, her fiancé, musician Justin Young, and producer John Shanks.
Shanks broke down his LA-based studio and moved his equipment over to the Broad Beach house. Caillat recalls: “There was a whole week of just set up. It was just insane how much he brought in. It filled one bedroom and the entire downstairs living room, bar, and hallway. We had to get custom curtains to line the entire inside of the downstairs or you’d hear the ocean waves really loud.”
The result is a collection of almost light-hearted and fun, yet often vulnerable songs, reminiscent of the infectious melodies and harmony you’d hear in classic ‘70s rock.
We hope you enjoy this mix breakdown of Colbie Caillat’s “Goldmine” by the one and only Marc Daniel Nelson!

If you could see a mix breakdown of any track, which one would it be?
Led Zepplin - Whole lotta Love !!!
any Dire Straits would be awesome...can't seem to find any
Any hiphop track plz 🙏
Welcome to the jungle!. Will love to hear the guitar raw tracks!
Any avenged sevenfold song, but they already did a song breakdown series, would love to see Andy wallace showing us how he mixed their songs, and Mike of Joe how they produced them
Thank you all for the nice words. Thank you Warren and Eric for having me be a part of something special. Everyone stay safe out there. :)
HI Marc! Our pleasure! You Rock my friend! Thanks ever so much for this amazing look into your process! I really appreciate it!
Thank YOU so much Marc for giving us all that fly on the wall peek into a tru professionals process. You did a fantastic job of putting into words what I am sure is mostly instinctual, and obvious talent and taste. Cheers!
Thank you, Big Kick.. Stay safe out there
@@bigkickleo yes, truly wonderful look inside!!
@@marcdanielnelson317 Big Kick! Now that's a cool name!
is anybody else just obsessed with how he talks haha Getting incredible mixing advice and from a super chill soothing dude. Just Gold
Are you an introvert?
Insanity... an exclusive free course and helping struggling musicians at the same time! Thank you ever so much Marc and Warren. Absolutely amazing! =)
You're very kind Sam! Thanks ever so much my friend!
Thanks ever so much Sam!
Marc was one of my first mentors when I graduated college. I gained more knowledge in a few months than I did in 2 1/2 years at Full Sail. 7 years later I still utilize the gems he gave me. 🙏🏽
Regarding mixing, I am happy with the wealth of knowledge I have acquired over the years. But I am even happier when I realize that the world of knowledge and experience is simply endless, thanks to which you can constantly learn something new for yourself. Thank you, Marc, thank you, Warren, and thank you, Eric!
Fantastic breakdown - loved when Marc explained what he was hearing with the different plugins and hardware.
Me too! I'm so glad to be able to help! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Marc: Atticus is "The King of Love"! Without a doubt! Wonderful Contribution. Good Life & Gracias!
That Tube Tech multiband is so good. Saw Al Schmitt use it in a vid too. Magic. That Summed version is so good!
Yes, then secret weapon of many great mixers!
This man is so great and making a mix move with to music, what a talent. Thank you for this!
Thanks ever so much Dylan!
I'm a fulltime gigging musician and I lost all my work once the shutdown started. MusicCares helped me out financially and it was so amazing that there are people who care that much. So thank you Warren for plugging them and thank you to anyone who donates!
They are an amazing help to alot of people right now.
OMG!!! Thank you Warren you Rock
You're very welcome Milton! Marc Rocks!
Thanks for having the patience to show us all this Marc. I love these sessions where you take a whole track and break it down. This is possibly the second most useful single video on mixing. It's a lot to take in in one go, but I love the way you create movement in what could otherwise be rather static parts, that's magic
What would be the most useful one you have seen?
here in Italy it is not one of the most beautiful periods, for this reason the value of shares like this is invaluable. thank you very much!
Thanks ever so much my friend! So glad to be able to help!
Man, another fine breakdown man. Really important to learn from someone who's experienced it all!
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
@@Producelikeapro You are absolutely and always welcome!
@@RC32Smiths01 thanks ever so much!
@@Producelikeapro Ahhh it's always my pleasure!
Thank you to both of you!!
Thanks Rudolf!!
That hour went by so fast, I was riveted. Thank you.
That's wonderful to hear Mage!
This is so awesome. I know I shouldn't ask....BUT I am going to. The multi-tracks for Goldmine would be awesome if you published them. I have had so much fun working with other tracks that you and others have published. i.e., Katey Laurel. It has allowed me to really hone out my craft mixing and it is such a joy that my smiling is infectious. This particular song has some very nice elements like the acoustic instruments. Thank you guys.
I love this guy! Along with Gregory Scott at Kush After Hours, and for completely different reasons, Marc is my favourite online mixing teacher.
I love Colbie Caillat. I've been listening to "What Could've Been" by her new group Gone West. I especially love their acoustic version.
So talented! Such an ease to her voice!
Yes, Colbie is very talented indeed!
@@promixacademy6904 agreed 100%!!
Wild what that UAD API does to the 2-bus with nothing moved on it. Mind blown.
Another amazing video from my favorite team. Thank you a great deal from Spain.
I'm glad you support musicCares. I couldnt touch it for international reasons. I would have mdied before dad and mum. I hope they can do whatm people need for other people. It's still a good cause!
Not to take away from how awesome the final mix sounds, but the rough mix gave me the chills. The kinda lofi soul of the background vocals mostly I think
The SSL Summing is like a secret sauce, THe ATR was a neat plug in as well. Time to go shopping. :) Very wonderful sounding. The entire mix break down was a lot of fun. Thanks!
I am so happy to be living in a time like this with awesome people like you giving these for free. It is just priceless! Thank you so much!
Such a cool guy, he did a UA 3-4 part mixing series at our studio
Amazing! Thanks for sharing!
CRC is one the best studios In the world😎
@@marcdanielnelson317 that's wonderful to hear!
Wow! That was really cool. He took a really great mix and brought out even more sparkle/shine. Thx for sharing this with us Warren.
Agreed 100% Arlo!!
Always loved Colbie's voice! Thanks Marc for doing this for us!
Me too! She's wonderful!
Thanks Marc and Warren for doing this for us!!
Wow! Special thanks to Marc!
thank you I shared this with thousands of people , you have been helping so many people coming into designing sound , and your guest are great , you make the world a better place to live in ,all the best
Thanks ever so much!!
This is gold Warren! Thank you!!
Hi Sebastian! Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing course teaching me so much - thanks for the generosity Marc
Thanks Vijay!
Thanks for the great drum lesson awesome
So Wonderful watching. Got a few new tricks too. Thank you Sir
Wow. Thanks for your time.
this is beyond beautiful work! Can`t believe content like this is free on the internet. Thank you so much for this wonderful and inspiring masterclass.
What a cool guy Marc is! What a personality!..thanks ever so much for this amazing walkthrough, Warren!
That was awesome. Super helpful and love peeking behind the curtain. Like EVH, its still the guy playing or using the gear however ya gotta have and know how to use the tools at your disposal. Thanks again, I could listen to you and MDN all day. Presentation is key and you all have it. That's also an intangible as you know.
I have already employed many of your suggestions as I travel down the rabbit hole from live touring guy to... at home writer, mixer and producer.
Thanks, John Drew (JD)
I just love watching him work,, Man Oh Man some many little nice things I learn. What a great learning tool his videos.
one of the best mixing videos I've ever seen. Thank you thank you, Marc and Warren.
Thanks ever so much
This was the best Produce Like a Pro video ever made. Please Please Please do more of these.
Warren you’ve done marvellously well over the years. I want you to know that you’re appreciated.
Daniel, Thank you for sharing your artistry, experience and practical approach. A truly humble master and talented gentleman. Tony
Really amazing what both of you Warren and Marc are doing here by sharing this video (and others like this). This is , in essence, inside knowledge, that until recently was only available to a few . You had to be "in" a studio or have access to "gear". This is sharing the process, the approach. Your minds. And you are not doing this in a superficial way just to create clicks. You do it consistently, and over and over again - thanks for that.
What a great breakdown! Thank you Marc and Warren for this treat! I picked up several things that I had never thought about doing before, like using the MV2 on a female vocal! Very cool. Thanks again!
Yes, the MV2 is a pretty darn amazing plug in isn't it!!
Great demo. Very cool panning techniques. It is great to see the use of in the box VS outboard process and summing. Makes a big difference when you can sum thru some nice outboard gear.
One thing that really strikes me in this wonderful video is the total lack of audio problems in the recordings! Seems like the mix engineers job is to make everything larger than life, complimentary, cohesive and alive, whereas I spend most of my time trying to make shitty recordings sound like not shitty recordings!! Get it right at source everyone, including me!!
music for a sunny day - awesome! Thank you, Warren!!
gotta love John Shanks... what a force of nature he is :)
Absolutely! Agreed 100%!!
Great course, thanks mate!
You're very welcome!!
Amazing free content! Thanks so much Marc and Warren
Thanks ever so much!
Really great, super helpful film! Very interesting to hear what the Sigma added too but IMHO, it's the Weimaraner bass trap/diffuser that helped Marc hit it outta the park!
Thanks Warren and Eric!! So great to see your passion and thoughts about recording and mixing. So great even for us hobbyists with simple equipment. Really appreciated this.
These Marc Daniel Nelson vids are absolutely fantastic! Love them. Tried and used successfully many techniques in my own mixes.
Love the way Daniel comes accreoss. I really could easily learn from him and know I'd enjoy it
Thanks ever so much for this free course Warren! 🙏 Boy oh boy! Heckuva Mix & Song!! I mean, sure, the recordings were great to begin with, and the production... And Colbie is just an incredible Artist, I like her a lot. Warren thanks again, you've made my day! 😃🙏
Yes, agreed! Everything about this is great! Wonderful mix of an amazing g Artist singing a great song Produced really well!
Very great and clear process. I like the capacity of Mark to elaborate a effective strategy of create working music!
That was fantastic! 👏👏👏
Thanks ever so much Dave!
Great! A mix where more is more:) I’m loving the fact that these parts work as clusters of sound, where all the intricate bits are making a breathing, moving whole. With each hearing you hear new parts that you didn't hear before... A deceptivly simple sound that is actually quite complex:)
Thanks ever so much
Loved this run-down of the track. And what great raw materials to work with! LOVED the backround vocals - so disparate, but gelled together beautifully. And thanks to Daniel for spending time doing loads of off/on comparisons throughout the track: I've learned a hell of a lot about some really subtle enhancements to the life and air in a track (with plugins I've had for 12 months now, like the MV2, and never used!)
Thank you so much for this Mark and Warren... Its a "Goldmine" in itself too. Beautiful song, even more beautifully mixed.
Such a great mix.
Thanks for this. Incredible how this guy works. Little changes only
Watched the whole thing and I really enjoyed it! Cool little mixing tips
This gave me the boost I needed last night to wake up early this morning and keep working on a project. Thank you so much Warren for what you have created and what you are doing right now in these crazy times. Hope you know what a MARVELLOUS difference you are making! Thank you so much..
What a fabulous video/tutorial. You guys are soooooo coool in your generosity. Marc, you're helping me hear things I simply couldn't before that will definitely improve my mixes. Many heartfelt thanks to you both.
Great video! Definitely one I need to watch at a slower pace. So many gems dropped subtly throughout the video. 💯
Great breakdown! A ton to digest here. Thanks Marc! Cheers Warren!!
Fantastic! Great learning! I loved it! Thanks Marc!!
That’s pure gold, thank you🙏🙏🙏
Would love to see more videos of mixing strings! I.e. violin, viola, cello
Always such great content and FREE!!
Thanks ever so much!
Great great stuff!!! Thank you so much Marc for sharing your thoughts and experience here! Heads down!
i like his sens of taste. Thank u for all this free learning
Agreed! Great taste indeed!
Warren and Marc Nelson are both genius they making plugins dancing with the mix
You're very kind my friend!!
This course is really wonderful, even calming somehow :D Really good workflow, great approach of mixing, amazing example how to bring a top A+ production even further with a world class Mix - great teamwork between musicians, producer and mixer !! I will just watch it again haha
Wow a mix of a John Shanks production, thanks a lot Warren.
Many thanks Marc and Warren, excellent walkthrough and some great insights into your mixing process
All the best
Jay
This vid made me realise how much I am missing my Tubetech SMC2B :( Thanks for this awesome breakdown however, this is solid gold!
Wow, awesome! Thank you Warren and Marc!
Thanks ever so much Daniel!
Absolutly fantastic video. That sound is pure gold. Thanks for that!!!
Great mix, great recording! Thanks Marc and Warren!
Incredible! Very insightful and creative. Thanks, Marc and Warren!
Hello Warren and hello Marc. I know this video is a couple of years old now but I wanted to roll the dice and ask Marc a question in hopes he may still check in. When going over Colbie's vocal chain you briefly mentioned some multi band compression as part of the chain but, I'm not sure if I understood how you are applying it. Are you controlling peaks or also enhancing certain frequencies with upward compression as well? I've incorporated your suggestions about light multi band comp and tape saturation on my mix bus and it's made a real difference to me so, I would just like to have a better understanding of what it may do for me on the vocal chain. Thank you both for the wonderful videos. They are a huge help.
This was absolutely above marvelous, another great video, thank you Warren and Marc Daniel.
I wish I could have the multitracks! Love Colbie's music
Hi Kaleb, how are you my friend!! I hope you're staying safe, happy and healthy!
Excellent video. Very insightful. Love Marc's process and template organization. Going to have to borrow a few ideas.
Thanks ever so much Mark!! Yes, I learned a lot!
Don’t borrow a few Mark.. take it all. That’s why we are here. Sharing is caring 🙂
@@marcdanielnelson317 marvellous said!
It sounds fantastic!
Hi Warren, wow this is great, thank you both, all the best.
Great video, thank you for making it and sharing it!
That was excellent guys!
Thanks a million. Found myself a new Hero.
On My iPhone - ITB sounds sweeter and cleaner and not so heavy and dirty. The Outboard Summing sounds heavy and not open enough... However In The Studio On My Yahmaha Monitors, The Summing Sounds Fuller especially on the Low end...Love the sound of the API, it kinda feels like you turned on the light 💡 and lifted the track out of a dark sound...
So good. So, so good. Wow, Thank you again Warren and thank you Marc!
This is an amazing video. So much knowledge and experience.
Thanks ever so much my friend
Dude I thought the rough mix was almost perfect hahaha
Thanks Marc and Warren! ✨💥✨
Thanks ever so much Audrey!!
Amazing, Thank you Marc! Thanks Warren!
API plugin on the stereo bus is SWEET
really great. ssl mix for the win.
Thanks ever so much Peter!
@@Producelikeapro these are so great! Thank you for putting them out
Solid engineering review with a very cool studio that includes a dog on the couch, whats not to like? Thanks Marc & Warren!
Haha yes! Exactly!
