- ► Want more? Learn to mix better than ever before with our FREE workshop, "The Top 5 Habits of Truly Great Mixers": sonicscoop.com/MixHabits ◀
In this MixCon Master class, 3-time GRAMMY winning producer/engineer Marc Urselli walks us through the most important part of the mix: Your session setup.
Great mixers know that mixes are won or lost before you move even a single fader. In walkthrough after walkthrough, MixCon presenters almost unanimously agree that getting the tech details out of the way BEFORE you start making creative decisions is key to getting a great mix.
In this masterclass, Urselli, who has worked with artists including Lou Reed, Nick Cave, John Zorn, Laurie Anderson and more, opens up a heavy mix from the band O.R.k and pays special attention to helping you get your mixing template right from moment 1.

After all these years, it's great to hear you only talking about mixing. Great presentation. Thanks!
Impressive and very smart!!! THx for posting such great and informative video's!! And indeed as mentioned below, a workflow of a genius!!
Really appreciate these Masterclasses. Even if isn't your genre, there's always some great value!
Having educational vids like this on YT is just awesome. Soon, the building required to house the hard disks to store all of YT will need to be the size of a small city.
Cool beard dude
A great man. He mixed the album for us in the early summer of 2020. We will only refer to him. Marс you're cool.
This answered all my questions and confusions . Also I’m a big fan of Porcupine Tree & King Crimson. So ORK was like a Cherry on the Top. Thank you for the wisdom
Wow - a lot of this is exactly what is talked about in our book, Secrets of the DAW! Watching this for the first time, very good content!
wow! this is amazing... I feel like I got a look into the workflow of a genius
Likewise!
great song, one of my fav from SOAO
Master of the "Temple Template"...A lot of con-templ-ation
Thank you so so so much for this
Great Presentation. I think everyone on this thread just got a workflow upgrade.
Amazing!
Fantastic Masterclass!
This is the real deal.
hi,
Someone know why by following this template when i use parallel compresion routed to the main group of this instrument i hear a feedback?
What would be the right way to prevent this from happening?
Interesting information, I watched to the end !
Thanks for sharing the great template concepts, as well as the other key points covered. I wish we'd heard more, but we already know the work. :-)
This is gold
awesome mix (really impressed, bravo) and song really powerfull band,
Cool template! Appreciation from China
We. NEED. This. Template!
He had me when he said King Crimson. O.r.k. sounds cool.
what about analogue summing ? and all the subject abordes at the beginning
The Tape Delay EC 300 is from McDSP not Waves.
What did he do with Nick Cave? I can't find any actual information anywhere.
Hey folks, thanks for the nice comments! We're glad you dig our track. If you want to check our stuff out, this is our FB page facebook.com/O.R.k.band and this is our youtube channel th-cam.com/channels/r57imwHcMMK_YFXwJqMlFw.htmlvideos?view_as=subscriber
I just wanna know how he has everything routed for the prints to make one pass and it’s all done.
Anyone know which stem bus he sends "VOC ALL" to?
nice reveb send you got there :D
Great job ! where can we have this template?
How much gain reduction on that limiter?
The EC300 plugin isn't a waves product... it's McDSP's.
Ottimo
and the template?
Around 14:30 he's talking about VCA tracks, are those the same as aux tracks?
No, VCA tracks act like, by moving a fader, all the ones that respond to the same VCA will change in volume. It's like your fingers of the same hand move the faders correspondent to a group, but at the same proportionate level.
So its like controlling the fader on a group, but is a separate channel which tracks pass through?
And does it only affect volume?
Undertone basically yes, probably useful if you have a side chain that will disappear from volume change or stuff like that. I've never used it, but some swear by it. That and Marmite.
Not a fan of marmite but I'm a fan of expanding my musical palette. Thanks for the help btw! I appreciate it
The green tape delay he points out as being from WAVES, it's from MCDSP, not WAVES.
Do you have a Template for this setup?
Wow, what a masterclass, this is ma template, I use plugins
Yeh. I am just: "I use Reaper, it was designed so an eight year old could set up busses and parallel compression, or side chains, what use is this? How do i mix? "
the moment when you realize you don't know shit.
altma ...is your first step towards greatness.
Just 120 tracks on an 80 minute Chinese Opera that won a Pulitzer Prize, no biggie tho, anyways, how you doin’?
This is why I use Reaper.
Lol yes. Its almost natural, just folders. It would be novel if someone suggested NOT to have all the busses, or use the blend knob on every compressor/plugin, PT is so complex to do it. A tutorial for parallel comp? Nah just a blend knob, folder system, send/return list.
Mix sounded anything but heavy. Where was the presence? Everything sounded muted and I'm using Adam A5X professional monitors. But boy he has that template designed well!
Pretty dark music, so its kinda fits into the music conception, while still good clarity. I use Yamaha HS 80M ))
Paying by the hour is a double edged sword, on the one side it’s ok if the mix engineer is relatively fast but on the other side who wants to to pay by the hour when the engineer is taking his time with decisions.
8:30... AC/DC has five guys on stage. LOL.
And U2 have (or at least used to have?) another guitar player off stage for live gigs.
His favorite person is............HIMSELF!
Ok I think I understand now, to have great mixes I need organized session and.......3000 $ of plugins.....
Great mixes start with great arrangement & recordings.
It seems like an hour to work around a DAW that is frankly unintuitive to use.
Other option is use a DAW where is easy :)
Who on earth placed that headset so badly.
I was digging the song until the cacophany of vocal rhythm slop around 58 minutes made me want to shove a power drill into my ear canals.
Less is more, tell that to Hans Zimmer.
He also says that....
With orchestras yes there are 100+ players but almost every composer sticks to
Ask Yngwie Malmsteen about the 'less is more'-thing...;-)
Indeed les "Yngwie'ng" more cool riffs
Considering how sloppy he became, he might say something like "less technique is more easy time to me lol"
$2M plug-ins after
so bad song omg
Painfully slow and why to much detailed of basic obvious functions. The real mixing info doesn't happen until 40:00
Sit down! Be humble! - Maybe it's because of those not so obvious 'obvious functions' that make him so successful.
Be humble? This is youtube, the fast food of media. Besides, what's obvious is that you sound like you have a vagina and clearly need to be watching at Pensados Place. The video is called Heavy Mixing & Perfecting Your Mix Template not making mix templates and how to route plugins.
Bro, he showed people how he perfected his Mix Template - as it states in the title of the video. Why don't you drop a link to one of your mixes and I'll tell you whether you should go rewatch the first 40 min of this video or not. And what is wrong with Pensado's Place?
Oh ok BRO, hey sweetheart the box say's "add a public comment" not a comment that cranky Dexter Bartis agrees with. Nobody has to qualify a comment on youtube you clown. Besides, I came here to see a Masterclass on mixing not a guy drone on about routing and templates. Show me a full mix of a song and what the "master" did to achieve the sound. Not complicated, I've seen many others in this series do just that. If you want to know what compression is or some other rudimentary concept go watch Pensado's Place. Once again twinkle toes it's 'Mixing with the Masters" mixing with the guy that routes shit.
No worries mate!
If the first 40 minutes are for the rookies, I'll stay there forever!
Great video and great insight!
Looking forward to see your very own Masterclass at Sonic Scoop after winning some Grammy's and stuff, I'll promise not to skip the first 40!
I was on board till I heard the song. Horrible mixing.
Song sucked
Do not listen to these kind of people .This is confusing. All u need is drums,bass,guitars,strings,flutes, and pianos .
The guy is a mix engineers, not a songwriter. He has little control over how many tracks get sent to him to mix. Also he's mixing operas too so.... Good luck with your template on that lol
