I learn so much in those 1st 2 minutes thts wild crazy
Just watched 2 or 3 vids from this guy and i learned a lot from him. He explains clearly and with a lot of animations of the sounds he is describing, which helps a awful lot because this is youtube and we're listening on cheap sound systems and most of the time its hard to hear whats being done to the music. Bob realises this and adapts accordingly which is great way of imparting the Knowledge we are all trying to learn. He describes in detail how stuff (low,mids etc) build up in a mix over time better than anybody i've looked at.
Thanks Bob......
Bob is the man! His name appears on many of my favorite LP's
He said this in another tutorial too but it’s one of the best take homes and always sticks wit me ,
“ can you hear everything?”
Best Mixing Class On CZcams I've Seen So Far
Not bad huh? Love his 5 points, which are so helpful to keeping good focus.
Tony Maserati has some good Videos too
LOFTYLIFE very informative.
It could be the kids on phones are just taking notes. The trick is to keep your own concentration and not be sidetracked by having to make judgement calls on everyone around you. Live and let live. Or mind your own business. I Couldn't find one interesting comment here that expands on this great presentation from Bob.
Roni Francois Why not just film if that's the case. Not that I really care. IJS though. They WERE fucking off. LOL.
try taking your own advice then.
this was the best thing in the entire world. Number one thing. Trust your ear. I will never forget this in all my engineering days.
Love
As a previous poster commented and for those who don't know the song is
Olga Bell - "Rubbernecker"
Thank you!
I love the way he articulates sounds with his mouth
Bob is simply superb when he imparts his knowledge on sound structure in a musical whole. There are experts and there are master craftsmen... I will put him in later category...
Definitely a Master legend in the game.
Thanks for this! Bob's a good teacher...delivery is on point.
this was great! keep up the amazing work, RBMA!
Dude was dropping gems from the start of the video.
Great stuff Bob, thanks - invaluable!
So glad that you are mentioning checking for phase! I get projects from aspiring artists who need some mixing work & I run into this problem a lot. I use to accept stereo mixes but I can't anymore bc I have to bring out every trick in the book to fix the phase. So I always go with the splits & sometimes stems. Great video BTW!
Thank you Bob
Man Bob Power is an analytical BEAST!!
This is remarkable. He's catching things by ear that I couldn't detect.
Thanks for posting.
Really good stuff!
Amazing studio
Anything Bob Power shares is worth listening to & putting into practice to see if/how it can work for you. Thanks to Mr. Power for always sharing his knowledge. Anyone know of any other videos of Bob mixing an entire track? =)
this is truly a great video
Brilliant engineering
The song is Rubbernecker by Olga Bell but it hasn't been released yet.
GOLDEN INFORMATION
great....love the tips...thanks...
awesome. great explanation
Hi from a musician/Violin/Pianist who for some reason built a 2 room Studio in the UK:) A very enjoyable video!
Mad set of ears.
The Bob Ross of music!
respect
Bit on compression was so helpful
brilliant
Such a cool video! Thanks
I always mix better after watching a Bob Power video.
Thanks Bob Power. I'm slowly understanding headroom in the software. I get it as a concept, and know what I should be hearing. I can hear it in many of the covers I love. It's just trying to understand my DAW, and how to use it to get the depth, height, and width for all the tracks to be heard. So far seems to be mostly playing around with my old multi track projects. So experience. Each time I play with the same one, it sometimes just sounds different, then finally sounds closer to what I want to hear. And the source tracks aren't that great, so it's also showing me just how powerful a DAW can be. Unfortunately I was led astray by a "Friend" who I believed knew what they were talking about. So I had some silly ideas to clear out.
Was the FULL VIDEO ever get released? This is still timeless...
roey izhaki provided some cool sub harmonic mixes for his book mix elements. i really appreciate Bob kicking off his clinic with a sub harmonic dilemma....
Good Stuff!
Genius
I so completely love when our amazing legends step out to expose us to their well-worn and war-torn secrets of the studio! However, is it too much to ask that whoever places a lavaliere mic on the person speaking do a check first to ensure CLARITY? I have seen so many of these that look great but with muffled spoken word. I want to hear what he is saying without swimming my way through 400-600Hz mud.
Now that was insightful, and sharp! This is a real engineer!
Ive taught myself to mix and I think the most important thing he said was "can you hear everything?"
wish this were longer.
"Aye yo my mic is sounding bugged Bob Power you there? (yeah)"
Adjust the bass and treble make my shit sound clear
That’s always the best comment on Bob Power videos . My life is QTip quotes
That was very interesting to me.
good stuff
SilverBeat, thanks you Bob
Those vocals are nice
Great explanation! One of the best mixing engineers that can teach actually, no doubt.
The guy with the black/red hat seems bored. He just could got out of the studio and period. I would kill to be in person in this kind of masterclass and that guy is playing around with his phone, Seriously?
Dropping Knowledge....
this guys a wizard
very nice engineer
I NEED TO KNOW THE SONG!! IM WATCHING THIS THE THIRD TIME SIMPLY BECAUSE THE MUSIC IS SO GREAT!!!!!

muito bom
i just wanna say thanks, cause now i don't have to spend 10,000 at recording school,
Sounds like a Bjork thing. Cool.
Bob Power you there?
Big question, who is the smartest singer you ever worked with sonically, who knew thier instrument the best(?voice, what it needed) asking all the engineers
Do more videos like this but getting more into the plugins they use ?
cool stuff :)
Gimme that room
Did anyone practice with the 5 concepts he talked about? I was wondering if anyone played around with each of the five concepts in each of the three levels of focus? Example: a kick that is 1. Low Pitch 2. Loud 3. Dark Tamber 4. very articulate 5. medium level of activity. There are so many options here and I was wondering if anyone had found some cool combinations?
nice shirt bob
My goodness what is the name of this classy tune? please save me the two year search... ..
In his list of 5 things I think he forgot one - ambience. how reverberant or dry something can sound based on the room or mic placement or added processing. not to try and sound like i know more than him obviously.
jamie lidell just chilling on the ground no big deal
Without direct stereo from the desk it's not as good as it could be
He’s the shit!
You remind me of Dave Pensado
lol his face @ 9:17 when his assistant doesnt stop the playback lol
Is there somewhere i can find the full video?
Creat stuff
...who is that he's mixing as an example in this clip? I need to know...that track is amazing.
The vocals sound a lot like Simonne Jones.
word.
that sounds so good. dope bassline. bjorklike vocals.
probably something unreleased
Bob Power??? lol. Red Bull studios! What amazing studios you have! (googled it) Omg!
The lav mic on him killed it :(
A shame for a session like that
what is the song though?
I am sitting back sipping on a 473 ml Red Bull right now before I go busking...if I drink while busking I'll get all gassy and burp in the middle of songs!
the artist is Olga Bell, but I don't recognize the song
+darwindeeez 'Rubbernecker' soundcloud.com/bellinspace/rubbernecker
thx
Lowkey trash
I want to know about the fight he got in that hurt his hand.
not my type of music but pretty good video!
track name please!
Jamie Lidell in da buildin
Is he using the 9000 desk or 4000?
still waiting on this song :(

It was released yesterday
Kent Shin you are more than a life saver i appreciate you lol.. gonna buy it now
+FRTNK careful. it falls under experimental/indyish, imho. very different song. has remix potential though
Looks Like Jamie Lidell sitting upfront and Center!
Great engineer but somehow the video is confusing.
Maybe a longer and better cutted video would have explained some passages accurately.
Yeah horrible editing.
agreed
there's a much longer version. Just search for bob Power masterclass, he breaks things down over the course of an hour and walks through his mix of a song as well as expands upon the opening concepts.
Somebody please help me to get through my question..i always've been heard about "low level monitoring" when you doing a mix. but what im seeing here is bob's monitoring level is so higher than i expected.. is it normal to listen music in that high level when you doing mix?? i mean, by the fletcher munson curve, his ear won't disern the differences between high and low frequency level in a minute if he keeps his monitoring level that high.
Bob power you there?
Yeah
1:12 - Is that Jamie Lidell over Bob's right shoulder?
yes
there's a digital clip around :47
Scared the crap out of me lol
Oh another at 3:29
just a heads up. Love the video
I sure hope that guy in the background managed to keep up with all his social media feeds.
I mean, what better time to constantly check your phone than when you're in the studio with legendary Bob Power?
He could be taking notes.....that is a thing on the phone though so.....
flappy birds
be the same guy who'll say that he didn't learn anything from this legend.
Yes, because his social media bullshit is more important than learing a trade. Millenials wasting space/oxygen again...sigh
+Jasmine Espy
if you believe that then I got some real estate on Mars I can sell you 😏.
We use the same mouse! Once you go track you never go back..
the word(tambre or somthng) he said to describe bright and brrrggh at 0:35 how do i write that, and what is it called in german
frantisek veselovskyJR The word is timbre in both English and German.
What I wouldn't give for an hour in that studio with those speakers... And a tab of acid
Yo whats the song?!
