Your Mix Sucks (Mixed by Marc Mozart)

Welcome back to the most wonderful time of your day, the Mixed by Marc Mozart Advent Calendar. I've always said that mixing is 80% preperation and 20% inspiration. The inspiration part is up to you but we can help with preperation. That's why we're giving away 3 licenses of MIX TEMPLE PRO for either Logic Pro X, ProTools, Ableton Live, Studio One or Cubase. All details can be found on our website https://mixedbymarcmozart.com/xmas2020

Welcome back to the Your Mix Sucks Podcast and thank you so much for staying with us. We know there haven't been any new episodes for a while so we appreciate you coming back even more! Today Tobi and David "The Intern" are talking about finding the balance between being an expert at a single craft vs. being knowledgeable in many different areas. Does the age old saying "Don't be a jack of all trades" still hold true or has the modern music industry moved past this simplification? Let's find out!

Why did you start producing? What to do when you're feeling stuck? Why do we post about squeeky chairs? All questions that Tobi and David "The Intern" answer in this week's podcast. So wether you're stuck right now and need some advice from two guys who've pretty much seen it all (he said sarcastically) or just need some light hearted entertainment - this episode is for you! Please enjoy and leave a 5 Star review!

On todays podcast Marc, Tobi and David "The Intern" sit down and discuss some questions that seem to keep coming up whenever talking about time and money. Two limited resources that everyone of us has to balance, how we do that is a super personal question, but we try to break it down and give our own takes on it. Please leave a 5 star review, comment and visit our socials if you'd like to get in touch.

Back in December, Marc and David "The Intern" went over our very own content strategy for 2020, what we are planning on focusing on and how you can grow your own channels as well. Please leave a 5 star review and a comment/question if you're still curious about social media.

Ladies and Gentlemen! Today we present to you a premiere, the first English vlog. Our "Your Vlog Sucks" series has been going strong for the past two months, unfortunately only in German though. Two weeks ago we were invited to a great networking event at the elysia headquarters, which forced Marc to get into the english speaking zone and whip out those skills. We really do hope you enjoy this taste of what the past two months have been about and get some value out of it! Please leave comments, suggestions and critisism on our social channels!

Have you been wondering what's going on behind the scenes? Then this podcast is for you! We give you an update on what we have been doing when you weren't looking, that includes something big with Waves Audio, the Behringer RD-8, Studioszene in Cologne and much more! We also get into how I have been doing and reflect on my progress since my internship has started more than two months ago. As always, we appreciate your listens, comments and feedback!

Only about three months ago I was in a position where looking for an internship was on my mind every day. Here are some tips I wish I knew back then. If it helps out a single person, my job here is done

CLA website In this episode, I met audio legend Chris Lord-Alge aka CLA at Musikmesse in Frankfurt. Chris introduced me to some of his new branded products, and we had plenty of time to dive into how he got started with his own branded gear. We are also discussing internships, mixing workflow, and how technology has changed many things in the past 20 years, but not CLA's workflow using his SSL 4000G console. Lots of value for music producers and audio engineers - from printing stems, archiving source material to CLA's legendary "recall rallies". This episode will drag you into the exciting audio world of Chris Lord-Alge. CLA Website CLA MixHub at Waves.com Bluey Compressor at Black Lion Audio CLA-10A Speakers at Avantone Pro

Meet my new intern Jonathan, who will stay at the studio for a 3 month internship. He's currently studying pop music design at the Pop-Akademie Baden-Württemberg in Mannheim.

Chris Allen of PMC Speakers educates me on the advanced transmission line speaker design, the BBC Maida Vale Studio beginnings of PMC-founder Peter Thomas and various sizes and flavours of PMC speakers.

Are you on the right side of this? Are you consuming social media, or are you a creator? Let me explain the world in 1995. It had a massive wall between creators and the audience. 5 old men aka the power of media companies and broadcasting were controlling access to the mainstream audience. Now of course, the world is turned upside down, and we all have access through our smartphones. And of course, those who have an intuition for trends and understood underpriced attention, will always be winning, in any environment.

Tom Frampton (aka masteringthemix), is the mastermind behind one of the most successful new plug-in companies. Their products LEVELS and REFERENCE as well as the standalone application EXPOSE are helpers in a world where the “loudness war” has seem to found its end. The streaming platforms now require producers and audio engineers to look into levels and dynamics differently. Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube and many others are looking at the dynamic and loudness of your master, and correct it in a way that your material fits best to their standards. Things have become a little more complicated than they were, and Tom's products are helpers in this world.
