Man.. As a completely self-taught musician and "producer" my No.1 rule was never waste time on technical stuff... I was always the "preset" type of person.. BUT since i discover your channel I keep finding myself taking notes and actually USING MY EARS instead of playin it safe with presets! Your channel is pure gold!!!
Thankyou so much for taking the time to listen to Lavender Hill. We really loved hearing each of the other tracks too, it feels great to be included in such great company x
I like your kindeness, you're such a talented guy. Everything you say is just common sense. Your suggestions on eq are so convincing... Beautiful video. Thanks. That makes me want to send some of my materials... Just to have your wonderful feedback.
I appreciate how you actually make some changes to the mix vs just talking about what they SHOULD be doing. And its wild how fast you can transform them and with just a few little moves. shows your experience.
Great observations. With a couple of those, it's definitely more of a, lacking in production/arrangement thing, rather than a mixing issue. When you get that stuff bang on, it makes mixing so much easier.
Hey man, great video! I can really understand how you approach reviewing the mixes in a professional manner with what could be done better to help musicians, especially if they are mixing and mastering their own track, make music sound better to a listeners' ears. I subscribed, I look forward to new content from you. Keep up the great work! :)
@@spinlightstudios because of your vids, I now constantly train my ears to hear the harshness that I can see you tame at 2-4k and 5-7k in your vids. I think it was your first mix through where I heard that and till now, I keep going back to that vid to calibrate my ears to how those ranges should sound like. So yeah, your insights are really helpful!
Definitely a cool song, but there is some timing stuff going on. It’s not terrible, just caught my attention. The drums lag in places - just sounds a little more raw - which can be a stylistic choice. All subjective!
@@spinlightstudios honestly, I'm sure you caught some detail out of your monitors. I was just sharing my perspective. For me personally hearing some thing that wasn't completely dialed in sounded kind of refreshing.
For sure! And that’s what I mean, some people will absolutely love that and others will want something a bit more polished. That’s where you as a mixer have to decide what is best for the song and the target audience!
Hi Rhys, beautiful episode... if you're planning to make more, I would be honored to send you a mix for review, to see if I'm on the right track! If so, how can I contact you? Warm regards from Italy!

Great episode! I’d like to see more of these for sure.
As long as people send mixes in, I’m happy to do it again!

These mix reviews are excellent Rhys, so helpful and insightful. Are you still doing them ? Cheers
Hey Pete, definitely, probably do another one in a few weeks. I’ll put a post out soon asking for submissions :)
@@spinlightstudios ok mate, brilliant, best from sunny Scotland (it's not, it's bloody freezing)
The "Holy" track was nice. One thing that seems to work for me (in a pop/rock song) to raise the chorus is a simple, subtle, high string line.
That is always a nice subtle trick to lift a section!
Great vid mate! I agree that mixing is subjective but I totally dig your taste. Really nice tips you are sharing here!
Thanks Edward! Everyone has to discover their own style and what they like when it comes to mixing :) but hopefully some of my insights are helpful!

The first mix you played sounds really similar to a band called PUP
Great video! Are you going to do it again? I'd like to send stuff in!
Yes I will one next month! You can find my email on my website ^ in the description link - send it to me there :)
Will you be doing this again? I have a track I'm working on and would love to get your ears on it :)
Absolutely! Maybe once a month? Keep an eye out for a post in the community when I ask for the next submissions!
Great stuff👍 lots of great tips here. Is this something you plan to do more? I would love to get some feedback on one of my tracks....
Thanks! Yeah I was thinking I would do this maybe once a month or something like that, as long as people send tracks in 😜
Just started following you man. Would love for you to check out a track I just finished up!
I think the first track sounded amazing. Didn't sound out of time whatsoever.
Definitely a cool song, but there is some timing stuff going on. It’s not terrible, just caught my attention. The drums lag in places - just sounds a little more raw - which can be a stylistic choice. All subjective!
@@spinlightstudios honestly, I'm sure you caught some detail out of your monitors. I was just sharing my perspective. For me personally hearing some thing that wasn't completely dialed in sounded kind of refreshing.
@@spinlightstudios in regards to the timing of the drums. Not the entire song.
For sure! And that’s what I mean, some people will absolutely love that and others will want something a bit more polished. That’s where you as a mixer have to decide what is best for the song and the target audience!
@@spinlightstudiosI perfectly agree mate

Thanks Andrea, if you head over to my website in the description link above - there should be a contact section where you can send me an email :)
@@spinlightstudios will do that! 🙂
