Clearmountain mixes to help what the recording communicate most effectively to the listener, without dressing it up in the imagination of painting it with hardware and plugins. Less is best. Let the mastering engineer have the final say about definition of the piece. Thank-you Bob, for sharing your discernment on how to best express music as an iconic mix engineer. Keep it primal.

I would LOVE to see his approach to his recent remixes for The Band.

Good sounds, but the colour coding is wrong. Drums always yellow, bass always green

I am sure that Bob will improve his mixes greatly once he follows your expert advice :)

Amazing Series!

This video alone is worth my years of subscription. Wow. Just to hear that dry vocal.

Very nice indeed

Wow, i'm happy to live in a world where i can watch this, just an honor. Thank you Mr. Bob

the dry vocal sounded even more intense and insane than I thought it would ! That de-essing technique was Aces, super cool! // also, the snare drum bit was incredible hahah. this was great

Excellent series. My only complaint is that there wasn't more of it! :) I hope Bob does a lot more with MWTM. It's a gift really he's given the audio world, taking all of his years of experimenting & experience and implementing these FX chains in a plugin form that we can all use. He seems like a really lovely guy & it's nice to see how humble he is and how simple his workflow is compared to a lot of other mixers these days. His body of work is incredible & it is hard to believe that his approach is what it is when you listen to some of the countless amazing mixes he's done. Watching this & the Squeeze videos has made me take a look at, and re-evaluate my own mixing process. Many thanks Bob, I hope you'll share more with us in the future!

Wow, that was incredible watching his mixing approach to this iconic song from my youth. Made me pick up Clearmountain's Domain. Great plugin.

This is just amazing, Legend!! Wow such an humble man who really shaped the sound we're hearing today.
