Hi there, I was wondering what everyone here thinks about this topic: Whether mixing tutorials (especially on YouTube) are worth watching or are they simply a waste of your time? I recently came across a video on this topic and felt like it made a lot of sense:
I think it's really interesting how every mixing tutorial I ever clicked on made a LOT of sense when I was watching them, but when I sit down to actually make a track none of that actually matters and the only thing on my mind is "how to I FINISH this track and move on to the next one." It happens every single time, I always end up clicking on the new tutorial I see on the YouTube page (because frankly, it's VERY tempting) and I always tell myself that I'll try THAT technique when I'm sitting down to make my next track...but, when I actually sit down to make a track, I almost always forget all about those tutorials or those techniques. I think the reason is because for me, just making/completing a decent (or "okay" sounding) track is difficult enough and I sweat as I' struggle to compose/write all the parts (that hopefully make some sense) So the last thing on my mind (as I'm struggling to complete a track) is the techniques that I learned while watching those mixing tutorials (and I must admit that I've watched a LOT of mixing tutorials over the years) Would love hear what your views are on this topic. Thanks
