what a waste of time :)

More imperfect mixes please! This too easy! We’re out here breaking our backs with amateur mixes
Stefan Mixmix July 17, 2024 at 5:45 PM

Would have been nice to see how he tackles less perfect mixes. More to learn that way and more relatable. Most people are not working with high end productions/mixes. But still, somewhat interesting to see.

thx randy ! s2
Luis pina April 30, 2024 at 6:03 AM

this guy doesn't teach nothing, he was basically doing promotion for himself. i'm paying to learn.
Nacho Libre November 3, 2023 at 12:18 AM

Had the chance to send projects over to Randy over the past two years and his attention to detail and understanding of the production/mix vision is really impressive. Such a great lesson :)
Vinni Rose October 16, 2023 at 10:34 AM

he doesn´t reveal anything, i don`t really think you have only used a tiny bit of eq and one limiter to master Silk Sonic.
Scott Hall January 5, 2024 at 3:29 PM

If it was mixed under the supervision of Dr Dre then yea I can believe it
Vinni Rose October 16, 2023 at 10:29 AM

he is not giving many tips or sharing with us the tools he uses, he shows very basic tools we´ve all known for years...
Victor Garcia Gruartmoner September 1, 2024 at 8:16 PM

That's the secret. He has the same tools than you. That's the difference between you and him I guess. He doesn't need any tip or trick or any secret. Just ears and knowing when to touch or no to touch
Matthew Gragg September 8, 2023 at 7:30 PM

Very disappointing, could have just listened to these songs all the way through with no explanation on my own.
Christoph Huebner August 30, 2023 at 12:07 AM

Some good tips, but I found it a bit disappointing that he didn't discuss the full chains (like his use of the Inflator) and some of the "spot treatments". For example, I felt that he didn't show or comment on anything he had done to "Leave The Door Open" except for the EQ.
Miguel Alba Sempere August 4, 2023 at 2:03 PM

It's impossible to compare mastered and unmastered versions without level matching. I am very confused
Ab style March 5, 2024 at 10:56 PM

I thought about it .
jorge ventura June 12, 2023 at 8:49 AM

nice
Daniel Santana de Lima June 11, 2023 at 10:27 PM

Perfect! Congratulations!
Bradley Denniston June 5, 2023 at 7:29 PM

Anyone else hearing this high frequency ringing in his mic? I feel like a dog over here going craaaazy!
Haoyang Zhuang June 2, 2023 at 10:01 AM

Would be nice if randy discussed the use of inflator
