Wowza, as Mr. Tucci put it this one is full of vibes… I got so lost in the music that I turned off my thinking Mixer Brain and let the music tell take me on the ride, telling the story for a 15 minutes.

Isn’t the saying ‘Be Like Mike’ ? I’m over here learning to Mix like Greg!!!

Going to try that chain on the next Mix Bus. You may have cracked Mr. Peanut wide open with that one Dana…

Why Not? Let the games begin, MIX ON! =)

Man, I Didn’t find the right cord for the Realistics at Guitar Center tonight. Not sure they even make 1/4 L/R balanced to 3.5mm. How do you have yours connected? Would it work going directly from the Apollo Headphone jack? I’ve got them positioned together off to my left, but also realized that no DC 12v Adapter comes with them so I need…

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone, happy to be here!

The vocals I’ve turned up by about a db & it seems to have brought more excitement & energy to the…

This is an amazing sounding track Alex, so well mixed & balanced with just the right vocal effects. The artist has a killer flow too, much props to all involved.

Hello All,

I’m new here & looking to improve my tracking, mixing & master skills. I’ve been learning & engineering for about 5 years now & have hit that wall where it seems I’m missing that extra 5-15% improvement to my mixes/masters.
