Mate, you are a millenial. Zoomers are 26 years old already.

 

Btw I was born in '64 which is technically supposed to make me a Boomer but fuck that shit- I'm Gen X all the way.

 

Most of my favorite records of all the time were recorded by people considered by this guy as a boomer. No Gen. Z recorded Hendrix's Axis Bold as Love or Pink Floyd's Dark Side of The Moon. Eddie Kramer, Bob Clearmountain, Alan Parsons, Bob Ohlsson, Michael Brauer, CLA... Those F*king boomers destroyed music with those outdated sonics, bring the future on and the god particle on your 2buss to bang it hard on the ballpark. You know what i mean?

 

I would add some BlackBox before the 3 clippers and a parallel 1176 for some sort of grunge

 

Let's not forget, Trevor Horn was born in 1949. Most of the super clean "new" digital production of the 80s was still being done by Boomers. Kramer and those guys probably predate Boomers and are Silent Generation.

 

Who is Mate? I doesn't know any Matt

Yeah. Probably.

I'm 69. I am a boomer. Crap! I call myself a boomer

 

OK Boomer
Are you going to change the nickname next year?
Millennials aren't your enemies here tho. Don't "in your face" us, do that to the guy whose video I didn't bother to watch.

"Mate" is, like, an informal but neutral address that doesn't imply much beyond equality. Or at least I think it is.

 

Milleniums think they invented everything but if it wasn't for boomers inventing sex they wouldn't even be here.

 

Don't mess with the boomers, they went to the big "rock" we call moon and played golf.. so they all became "rock stars"...

 

And drove a car. BOOMERS DROVE A CAR ON THE MOON. Gotta give 'em that.

 

acually..

 

Yes the "folded" car that was unfolded, driven by the buzzed aldrin and left behind.
No one else can see it with their 4k high optics cameras....but hey, the boomers say they where there...so they aren't the most failed generation... so far...so don't mess with them...

 

Life begins at 60 - we're Bloomers.

 

The best thing about that jackhole's "lesson" in mixing is his 80's BOOMER Kid-n-Play haircut.

 

I don't think anything is outdated as most pointed out already.

But I am more impressed by ''irregular'' ( for whatever that mean ) mixes nowadays then the old golden rules mixes.

I use references to mix songs and sometime try to venture in those ''different'' type of mixes to try to achieve something I have in mind.

As it is not as well documented, I often end up ruining my mixes and having to start from scratch.

As example that come to mind, I remember last year trying to mix a song and using ''Ocean Drive by Smiff n Wessun'' as a reference.

My usual reference for that sort of mix is usually something like ''Dr Dre - Still Dre'' and when I tried to apply that deep bass technique from the former mentioned, everything started to be a lot more complicated so I had to start my mix from scratch and go the conservative way.

Another one I remember is a ballad pop song I had to mix and wanted to use ''FKA Twigs - Two Weeks'' as a reference. Again, everything really fell apart as I don't have the modern vocal arrangement and mixing knowledge to make it stick to the width of the bass and synth in that song. So again I had to start back from scratch and go conservative.

While I think the title is definitely misleading and a bad judgment on his part, the idea behind is really compelling to me as I do find more impressive material in nowadays music in terms of challenge in regards to mixes I find impressive.

But that's just me in my day to day path to the perfect mix and it would be completely understandable that others feel completely differently in that regards.

 

Babies born immediately after WW2 are "Baby Boomers". Trevor Horn is as Boomer as they get.

 

this... little kids giving themselves the "producer" title while making type beats in fruity loops on a shitty pc laptop their mommy bought them... these kinds of people are a special stupid and deserve to be ignored. People get produced, music gets made, and zoomers are pathetic trash who do absolutely nothing for society other than make it more intolerable to live in

 

I'm proud to be a Boomer.

Phuck it, it's why I turn up everywhere fashionably late with nothing to say and STILL get a laugh or two!!!!!!

 

There are no outdated mixing techniques. Period.

 

This is what happens when people have too much time on their hands and think everything is a competition, like football but for everything 24/7 from toilet paper brands to which flavour of condoms are the best.

It's enough to make one go sit on a rock somewhere and just look for ticks in their hair while wondering how much better the world would be if nobody else was in it.
