Can someone recommend me any good youtube video for learning how to mix and master minimal house?
i'm searching a lot, i know internet is full of courses, video, etc...
I recently read that youtube's video are enough, do u agree?

 

I think way better about learning audio fundamentals than about those practical subjectivities.
Therefore I do not agree.

I also do not think too much about the so called standardworks of famous engineers because of the same reason.

There are only not so good alternatives for the (german) books I read in english available, but I think "Modern Recording Techniques" by Miles Huber and the "Handbook for Sound Engineers" by Glen M. Ballou are pretty good books.

It is important to understand that those books deliver very theoretical informations.
So the use for them is rather to be able to build a fundamental knowledge to be able to differentiate between nonsense and actually senseful informations. Then it really makes sense to consume those subjective practical advises - and laugh at them a lot. But sometimes they are very good as well.

What do you want to be, an engineer, a mixer, a producer or a writer?

If you can already write, then continue to do just that and if you spend countless hours writing you will organically grow into an engineer & producer too, because you will probably need to improve on all the aspects you're refering to here.

Writing/producing is where it's at, everything else you can pay for.

If you want to be an engineer/mixer you'd need to find work in a studio.

I wanted to be a songwriter, i achieved that goal immediately, from then on it was about gradually improving,(without even realising it,) every aspect of of music making, without any help from anyone, no plug's, no books, no vids etc, jus the odd bits of wisdom you glean from mags or queries put to those that can, over & over again, look at your meters but trust your ears, kick & bass share same freqs etc.

But of course I'm the only person in the whole wide world that could do that, aren't I, aren't I?

Having said that, I've recently bought some pro open heart surgery tools, does anyone know where i can find videos on Youtube, I will also be lookin for folk to practise on, i can't pay though, so if you fancy a free operation...

 

Mike White, Mike Senior, Joe Carrell, Matt Weiss. There's definitely some good info out there on YouTube but it tends to be tips and tricks rather than a wholistic "method" that works across different styles. For EDM styles, Mercurial Tones and Warp Academy have some good info but I'm no expert in EDM so YMMV.
