Here's to another ten years 🥂

@MrSillyGeek

Amazing content : no gatekeeping, no product trying to be sold, a ton of information in under 10 minutes and more importantly someone genuine and well spoken who doesn't take advantage of his audience !

@DUABS905

I love how when you start out there's a freedom in not knowing anything. And when I started to learn more about production I felt more and more limited because there were so many bullshit rules I felt I had to follow. But Im just started to realize that your track sounds as good as it sounds and it's really quite simple.

@DanielTGaming

I've been self-producing music & audio for my videos since ~2017. I've taken in so much nonsensical advice that nearly hindered me from doing any of it, and I ultimately came to the conclusion that what I've been doing was not only perfectly fine, but was perhaps best for my given genre or video I'm working on. This video was honestly REALLY informative, and helped a lot to destigmatize any choices made with mixing or equipment.

@Weird0daburbs

As someone who has been fucking around with a keyboard for 10 years I really appreciate this honest advice.

@kekente

I think a good piece of advice is to listen at a low(ish) volume when mixing. It makes it so much easier to spot tracks which are too loud/quiet

@Gravwlkr

Thank you for all of the help over the years 🤝

@Alkimi

Granted I have wild mood swings on occasion, but this was possible the best 10 minutes of music production advice I've ever heard. It all resonated like the earth with the sun. Clear, concise, absolutely genuine and honest. And, let's face it, when it comes to simply being a pleasure to the senses, this guy could rival the young Mister Rogers.

@waves

Super important info!

@simvlacrvmsounds

This is why learning even basic sound design is important and fun! You can craft your own sounds and leave space wherever you need it.

@varleymon

"...just do what the tracks need..." Absolute  truth, and simply brilliant! Excellent advice and tutorial, mate! Cheers

@brujo420

Wouldn’t have come as far as I have without your unconditional help, thank you so much! Happy 10 years🍻

@TRVladdy

OMG THANK YOU. I love that you spoke about the fact that most stuff you find online is nonsense.
I've really been getting sick of it and I think you are the first person I've seen who actually talked about it.

If there is one thing to take away from this video, it's that skill comes from years of experience, not from internet tutorials and especially not from people who try to sell you mixer presets.

@LovenArtiste

I think this intro is valuable as it shows immense patience and a level head.

@scrindoingily

As a musician who’s never gotten into producing until very recently, the main thing from this video that I would give to other musicians is to join a band. I promise you, half of these problems are solved when you have to work with others, and that’s what bands are for!

@35mmonrose

one of the best teachers and people on youtube, period. we love you!

@keithmadeit

No matter how much I learn, this channel will always be a blessing to me. Thank you Michael for the wealth of knowledge you've provided myself and countless others over the years.
Peace

@greeksdorok

Tbh i always had a conspiracy theory that engineers out there give trash trips to try an gatekeep the profession

@buzzpsy

You helped me a lot to reach my sound and perfect my craft, i owe a lot to you and specially when you advice that we should trust our ears and mix accordingly
