No please. Don't change nick. Don't age anymore. 69 is a fine number of... ahem... years

 

Every mix is different, so the rules are different for every mix. some may be broken, some may be a helpful guideline mix to mix. A lot of older rules have both helped and hurt me sometimes all in the same mix.

 

Last time I used the word 'boomer' on here it was taken down for 'hate speech'...I"m not making this shit up. People wonder why this forum and others that are so outraged over nothing-burgers are ghost towns. Alright..time to go back to making music.

 

Problem with this kind of youtube-videos is that nearly everything is said and done, it's nearly always cooking up the same again and again, and it always has to appear as something new, because dudes have to keep on producing content when there is no real content.

So they do what all gearspace does to: someone invents new "problems" and reasons to discuss the same things over and over again from a "new" angle. 95% of this "discussions" is made up bullshit and completely pointless. It's all about producing content. And most of the content producers don't realize in what senseless territory they were drifting to. Discussions for discussions sake. Idiots at work. :-(

 

Yeah, wasn't being clear; that was my point. Kramer was born during the war ('42) so he's pre Boomer

 

If one was born during the war then they would be...Baby Bombers?

 

Ah yes, let's take children's opinions seriously.

 

Aight I watched the vid finally. Guys and gals, what are we talking about?

THIS IS MARKETING​

The channel has quite a bunch of videos like this and all the marks of "maximizing social engagement" in them. It doesn't try to spread some message, it doesn't try to teach mixing, it tries to keep your attention so the next time you're shopping for plugins and see "Joey Sturgis Tones" your brain goes "Hummm I heard it somewhere, they must be good!" Your outrage is a tool, deliberately cultivated and used to this end.

YOU'VE ALL BEEN PWNED BY A MARKETING MACHINE​

If you really wanna stress your disagreement, the best way to do so is to maybe stop doing exactly what he wants you to do?

 

Of course it is marketing ... and you see it works

JST is the equivalent in audio to "Tony & Chelsea Northrup" in photography : marketing, affiliated links, ALWAYS selling you something ... and the opposite in the next video

Get the last stuff !
Forget about the past !
This 6 month old stuff is DATED !
Buy this !
Buy that !

side note : "Outdated" is a word for ppl knowing nothing to QUALITY
Quality is a mesure. Not time.

Look at this outdated statue made in outdated stone ... snowflake generation Z

 

Let me make you wait for 30 minute in a coffee shop so you can measure the amount of rage that rose inside of you while waiting

Joke aside, I get your point.

 

Yeah, we know is a "disguised hate"-clickbait.
I saw it as a bad but important social issue like I watched some "the pros are gonna hate me for telling their secrets" mixing vid which was even worse like years ago.

 

One thing you might want to try is to let your your ear decide what works rather than what a group likes. There is a social aspect to music, but I let my ears decide, not you and your labels of production. I don't make music for you, I make it for me and my ear.

 

That's fine, but if it turns out you objectively suck and almost everyone agrees then you won't be making any money at it. As a hobbist anyone can suck as much as they want, obviously.

 

There is a funny thing about those marketing oriented/clickbait youtubers and content creators:

Only noobs without knowledge will follow and agree with them. And most of the people, are not experts/pros/call it like you want. So those youtubers make some sort of money out of ignorance.

But it will end up like this. I think it's a bit sad, because the creator itself it's not compromised with something but engagement. It's not the sound, the advices, the work that will matter. For serious people, those creators will be always considered incompetent.


For example, Dan Worrall will be remembered by a generation of successful musicians/producers/mixers because he did spread knowledge for free on YT. This guy will be remembered by the market and by his lack of compromise.

 

Generally, anyone that tells you anything as being 100% certain as it relates to music, probably isn't worth listening to. Unless they are.... but probably not.

 

42. That's the magic number right there.

 

If you don't explain, someone will take you seriously.
The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is 42

 

42 is actually the answer.

Depends on the age.
When I was 57 I had a thorough medical examination of my hearing. I could hear 27Hz, even then.
It is also true that we can 'hear' through our skin, bones, abdomen and chest, even with our heart (felt like heaviness and pressure).
Hearing sound is synaesthetic.
No headphones can do any of that. 'Music playing in your head' is unnatural, with no reference to real life.
