Incredible, Jesse!!!! Sounds amazing and I love the video! All the great colors and creative editing are really a joy to watch. And of course the music is gorgeous. Great job on the phase alignment too – guitar sounds excellent. You and Nadja both sound awesome! Bravo x 1000!

@bryan!! So glad you’re here, and thanks for starting this thread — a topic I love and am always researching and experimenting with. My fav tools for mix review and collaboration are:

• Muse — amazing, and I don’t understand how it’s free! For me, it replaces a lot of other software for virtual meetups, cause it includes chat, video cam, screen share, remote screen control, etc. I tend to use Muse for 1:1 consulting and songwriting collabs.
• Source Nexus Suite — I’ve used Nexus for many years for mix streaming/approvals as well as remote recording/mixing. And now it’s more powerful than ever w/ the new “Suite” of tools they’ve released. There’s a free option, but you’ll prob end up wanting the paid option for all the bells and whistles. Nexus suite has vid, chat, screenshare, insanely flexible virtual soundcard driver and router (replacing Loopback software), works entirely in web browser so clients don’t need to download any software. It’s also got the best audio quality w least amount of artifacts and dropouts based on my experience. This is what I use when I’m presenting to high profile clients. Very clean interface, I pay all costs for the service so my clients have a great, easy experience when joining my listening sessions. FWIW u can see me demo’ing Nexus in response to a Mix Protege thread about mixing live on iphone (which is a super cool hack!)

Would love to hear about anyone else’s preferred methods for remote mix review and online collaboration! 💻

Hahaha – love it, @detective, and I’m willing to bet that song title hasn’t been registered before at ASCAP/BMI lol, triple-bonus-points for unique title and subject matter! 🙌😂. I love @Gage‘s idea, too, for the Weather Channel usage – lol, that’s perfect. AND/OR your local radio morning show! Nice work, man!

[Dana Nielsen]

Woah, amazing @smoothygroove – You rule!!! Thanks for sharing these great freebies – I can’t wait to check them out!

This new version “SLAPS” as the kids say!! Badass, @smoothygroove!! Much more “muscular” indeed, to steal Paul’s descriptive word. Punchy, deep, aggressive, dynamic, and vibe-y AF — nice work!! 💪

[Dana Nielsen]

Ha!! That all sounds fantastic! Glad to hear, man. 🙂

[Dana Nielsen]

Haha never! Only “forum discussions” become old 😉

[Dana Nielsen]

Hahaha – awesome sticker! I’m not so “new” myself in my 45 years 😵‍💫😂. Cannot wait to listen to this new version of the song!

[Dana Nielsen]

Haha – yeah, man, awesome catchy track! And I agree w/ @Gage about the (clean version) sync-ability lol. It’s catchy right off the bat with that guitar progression and beat, and it’s a different/unique sound that grabs your attention and draws you in, which is key for sync stuff. I am by no means a sync expert — I’ve had my fair share of them, but certainly not enough to be teaching others how to do it haha. Consistent sync success remains an elusive tantalizing mystery to me 🔮. You should check out @roy-matz‘s amazing podcast series “Sync Gems” – it’s great, and Roy’s awesome!

Keep up the great work, Paul! … and u know I admire your :30 punk rock format 👌😂

[Dana Nielsen]

I LOVE the fact that these “older”/past forum discussions can be enjoyed by folks “newer” to the community! — for production/mixing ideas, witty/constructive banter, and best of all awesome music! And heck yeah, @smoothygroove, such a baddass, dark n’ vibey jam. Was a treat to hear it again! ⚡️ Hit us w/ your updated mix if ur so inclined!

[Dana Nielsen]

Yeah man!! Right?… pretty amazing tool for reclaiming valuable headroom, especially when a bit of crunch on the source is desirable too. I’ve come back to this plugin a number of times since making this vid to use it on various sources. Super cool!

[Dana Nielsen]

We missed u, @detective and can’t wait to hear your (mostly) true stories next time!! I hope your new knee is perfect and that you’re healing well, man!
