Not only is Colin an outstanding engineer, he is, in my opinion, the best mixing teacher on the internet. And this is coming from someone who's taught college for 35 years. : ) Thank you for all your great videos!
Possibly the best video on youtube, I'm watching it all again and following all the steps, first time I have seen everything like this in one place and following a step by step guide, thank you
Literally the best mixing tutorial on the internet. Saves hours of scrolling thru tips and tricks and just provides a simple template for anyone to follow. Thanks a million!
This was unbelievable. I just spent 6 hours with this, taking notes, going back to make sure I got things right, and a few cups of coffee :) Thank you so much for this!!!
This is actually SUCH an amazing resource, I can't believe this is all free information. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this, you are a phenomenal person and helping so many people.
Today I went through the entire 3 hours and it was fantastic. I mixed and mastered a whole song while learning how to improve it every step of the way. Thank you so much. This is very helpful and it will allow me to eventually publish my work on Spotify and Apple. Highly recommend it.
I can't believe only 1.1k people have liked this video! There is so much information and effort put into this video - thank you so much for sharing. I'm just barely getting into audio engineering and you've been a huge help.
This is the best tutorial for mixing and mastering in Logic Pro. There are things that I did not understand before and Colin have completely simplified them and now I understand. This is very thorough and makes it very easy to understand. Thank you Colin for your time, knowledge and expertise
I am just starting out learning to mixing and master, the process has always felt daunting to me. Your video really does make it easy to understand and less intimidating for a newbie.
Amazing clarity and detail. Perfect for me who’s not yet that technical on Logic Pro, but I’m definitely able to follow everything you’ve taught me today. Can’t wait to start mixing our latest live recording. Thank you. Joe
You've absolutely proven the net effect of dozens of small changes. You said it many times that major changes are not needed, and the stage where you had finished making the track EQ and compression was amazing. I am 2 hours in and feel like I've learned so much about the basics. Great tutorial! I think the group Broke Royals has a winner on their hands here!
Commenting for your algorithm - this is so helpful, and I'm not even in Logic. I know longer videos are tough from a views-to-effort ratio, so I really really appreciate you putting all this together. Thank you so much!
Newbie to mixing and mastering your video is saved to watch probably everyday.I like the step by step of the sessions very easy and straight to the point. However it would be nice to have the harmonies named as follow Harmony1L 3rd low or Harmony2R 5th High etc.. this tutorial is excellent for newbie like me. Thanks for sharing
OMG this is an absolute game changer! You have cracked the code! what a fantastic teacher I was getting so frustrated with my subpar mixes I was looking for someone professional just like you who could feel in the gap to give me that last bit that I needed and I stumbled across you, laws of attractions, thank you very much.
This whole thing is golden . Not the style I normally work on but the tips are where it's at . And that bridge vocal part with that guitar sounds lovely even in just the static mix. Thank you for this !! That level meter trick is really really helpful .
Forth time I'm watching this tutorial and again, picking up more and more confidence and actually hearing subtle things that got by me on previous runs..Colin in just a great teacher and his so genuine approach to sharing ideas make this magic.
At the time of leaving this comment I've watched the first 20 minutes of this video, and already i'v had so many aha moments! I'm new to the mixing process, and this is just making so much sense. How you have explained Compression has taken all of my fear away from using a compressor lol! Thank you so much much for the time and effort you've put into this video, and for the knowledge you're sharing freely!
It has been quite a few years since I have worked in Logic, my 16 year old system just wasn’t working anymore. I got a new computer and still need a few other things, but I’m totally hyped! Great video, to get me going again - so much to learn! Thanks! Randy
Thank you so much for this video I've been following along for the past 3 weeks in my free time mixing and mastering my girlfriend and Is song along with the song you were working on, and I just finished up the video and mixing and mastering our song! Really appreciate your time and effort teaching this. Look forward to watching more videos or investing in your courses.
Hey Band Guide., I ran across this video because I'm a Logic Pro user., (newbie) but watch the intro to the 1st steps., you opened up alot with your analogies of the mixing process., My strong area is writing. my weakness is understanding why with EQ, comp., etc. with the numbers and not hearing these things that need fixing. so I'm going to follow you and listen to your tips to get better mixes. Thanks for this video!!!!!
For the third time, watching and finding I'm hearing more of the finer moves much more...also picking up some tips and understanding where they're going...so I recommend sticking with this tutorial to see where it leads.
I live in Bihar,India. The place very untouched of modern music having no studios around and most importantly can't put money more than buying a macbook. Your channel really helped me. Started with Garageband, and don't tell anyone, I got Logic's crack version. You are literally a lifesaver who taught me what was logic and its power. Thanks to you. You are a blessing to all the budding musicians.
So, every time I check back and watch sections of this video, it seems my ears, my ability to hear what i'm supposed to be listening for, becomes more apparent.
Awesome tutorial and walkthrough video. I seldom subscribe to any engineer channels because the focus tends to be on “my own personal tricks” rather than what is standard, and not some holy grail that only that particular engineer knows. I loved your workflow and thorough explanation!! Thank you!! Subbed to your channel! 💯
When will you make a video on how to actually create depth using EQ and reverb. It would be cool to hear you talk about interaural time difference, the "Fletcher-Munson Curve" when using equalization, the "Haas Effect" when implementing spacial design, and the "Phantom Fundamental Effect" when recreating low end frequencies. These are some things I've heard other people talk about but wanted to hear your side of it cause you seem to really help break them down as well.
this is the first video I've seen of yours, really happy I came across your channel this has been the best explained video for mixing for me. Thanks for the video!
Colin, Really appreciated your video. Learned so much. Thanks for doing this. You're a great teacher. I've been on this page for over a week going through all the techniques. Can I ask you a question please? If I'm using a drum loop, like the default ones from Logic, can they be divided into pieces for better mixing? Thanks so much. Big fan of yours now. Will definitely watch more of what you've produced.
Thanks a lot for for the amazing tutorial. What settings are you using for Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro ( EQ settings or Sonarworks etc...)? What are the settings for a good mix with these headphones?
This Video Is extremely useful! it is a lot of information but very well explained. Any info on mixing horns or a lead horn on instrumentals? Would mixing horns be similar to Vox ?

That's high praise! Thank you so much
@@TheBandGuide you deserve it, brother man!! your energy is perfect for what you do! you’re a beast! ❤️🔥❤️🔥*
I find some courses way too complicated. On this video I could immediately evaluate my own processes and learn each step. Great stuff, thank you.
bro you changed my life never stop hope you can become my mentor one day
1. Static Mix : Panning + Gainstaging (Level Meter)
2. Master Track: Light EQ (low & High Boost) + Light Comp (Loud Gain Reduction)
3. EQ (Boost bad, Gain Good)
4. Compression
5. Effects (reverbs + delays // use buses for effects)
6. Automation: Vocal Volume, Panninig, Effect Levels

Agreed yeah man so grateful for Colin
I’m taking notes as well. Rewatching parts. It’s excellent
This is actually SUCH an amazing resource, I can't believe this is all free information. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this, you are a phenomenal person and helping so many people.
Phenomenal. This should be printed out like an owner's quick-start manual.
I've already shared this with key team members. THANKS.
Today I went through the entire 3 hours and it was fantastic. I mixed and mastered a whole song while learning how to improve it every step of the way. Thank you so much. This is very helpful and it will allow me to eventually publish my work on Spotify and Apple. Highly recommend it.
I’m actually listening to it for the second time now!

About 10 minutes in. This already seems extremely helpful. This is exactly the kind of video I've been looking for.
Awesome! Excited to hear what you do with it
Finally found something that actually helps with mixing and mastering!

haha aaaa!! amen, bro
Yes he’s a great teacher-- really explains well. Can’t wait to apply this
This video is a pure gold! In my opinion the best explanation of mixing and mastering using stock Logic plugins top to bottom. Thank you so much! ✨🙏
I am just starting out learning to mixing and master, the process has always felt daunting to me. Your video really does make it easy to understand and less intimidating for a newbie.

The compression explanation was soooo helpful. I understand it now . A definite lightbulb moment in my life . Thanks so much for that.
Thanks so much!! I'm just starting with Logic and have been watching numerous tutorials. This is BY FAR the best one.

This is a very good lessons I can now applied to my mix
Amazing course! Well laid out and explained by a real pro... Thanks for these videos!
Colin Cross has in many ways given me hope by his amazing ability to demystify mixing and really teach Logic Pro X.
Colin, the insights you shared here are truly appreciated.
“If you really, really don’t like it, hit that dislike button twice” 😂😂
I admittedly skimmed to get right into the mixing, so maybe you covered this:. What are your thoughts on mixing with headphones vs. monitors?
I've not even gotten to part 2 but I'm loving it
this has been an extremely informative, concise, and clear walkthrough of the process. thank you 🙏🏾
Thanks, man. I learned some cool stuff. I've been struggling with a mix for a while.
Thanhs so much for the video, great reference and your delivery is easy to watch.
Cheers from Northern Ontario🇨🇦
Glad it was helpful and appreciate the kind words!

Nice job Sir. thanks for sharing such a Knowling.

Thank you so much Collin, i really appreciate this video
Lowering 5k hz to digital snare is a big brain move to make it sound like a real tracked drums😊
The synth pluck is really annoying 😂
This is such a great resource man, thanks so much for making it!
