I’m Joel Wanasek, a mixer who’s worked with artists like Scott Stapp, Machine Head, Attila, Rain City Drive, Chad Tepper, Monuments, and Vinyl Theater. I’m also the co-founder of Nail The Mix, the world’s best online school for rock & metal producers.
Let's hear it for the ASSISTANTS!!👍🙂
"What mixing is not is production". INDEED! That expectation is so common now (especially amongst semi pros and amateurs). And it's a problem in other genres too.
Hey Joel, thanks so much for clearing this up. Seems some folks think that mixing is everything and it's not as you clearly pointed out.
Having teams of people doing their role at their best effort makes for better records than a mishmash every time.
Excellent video - and this also confirmed that I do enjoy being a producer as well so now I can clearly state that :) Thanks for another banger video my dude!
When we outsourced our EP, we made sure we asked for editing, mixing and mastering
Great video. I started a mixing business recently and one thing I noticed is "the hardest thing in this business is to explain what mixing is." Writing an orchestra for you is not my job...
This is a very good video, thank you. For us who work with small artists who want the reamps/midi and who we don't wanna lose to the next guy , would you suggest a flat reamping/midi drum fee to go on top of the mixing fee?
You can. I just adjust my mix rate accordingly. I still work w some unsigned metal bands where this is normal. The key is communicating that all of these things take your time. Also you risk picking a tone they don’t like.
@@joelwanasekurm Great advice. Thank you! 🙏
Thank you so much Joel! This video is brilliant! Please do more like this!
Thanks Joel! excellent as usual!
Sending this to EVERYONE!!!
Thx!
Thank you so much for sharing such great advices !🙏🏻
Gonna start sending people this video when I have to edit before mixing
Loved this - would be great to hear your likewise thoughts on mastering; what it is vs isn’t.
Lately some signal chains are so dialed they sound mastered in the DAW; but surely this is wrong?
Mastering is taking a completed stereo mix and adding a second set of ears to make sure it translates. Mixing into a slammed chain is good because it allows clients to make accurate balancing decisions on mix notes. Then provide a loud ref to the mastering engineer and a mix w no limiter on it.
Would love a comparison between your tones and Scott stapp’s tones
It wouldn’t matter because it wouldn’t of fit into what ended up being the final mix. That record hasn’t been released yet so it’s not gonna happen.
Wait, are there hirable editors out there?
Yes tons of them. Need a great one? DM me on IG and I’ll recommend someone who’s fantastic, affordable, and works w several major producers.
Today I learned I'm a producer
Good because producers make more $$$$ than mixers. At least great ones.
@@joelwanasekurm I like money
Thank you Joel
Thank you for watching
Oh yes!
We’ll explained! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanks 🙏
Thought mixing was summing two or more signals into one. :)
If Ryan Reynolds was a producer
You have really nice skin.
