i gotta say - it's the people in this thread who've been saying the amateur stuff, not dave aron. The guy has mixed classic albums. Just because you have pro tools, some plug ins, and you think you know what you're doing, doesn't give you the right to sh*t on someone who's already established, and has stronger credentials than you will probably ever aquire.

Listen to All Eyez On me, tracks like life goes on, Holla at me, 2 of americas most wanted etc which Dave Aron mixed, and tell me if they sound bad or "clipping". This was back in 96, and a musical masterpiece. Internet-wannabe-producers dont know what they talking about.

Nice stuff but there is a lack if respect on this thread. To sum up this thread or comments. No of us can not top what these guys did. From Aaron to Maserati. They got credits and track listings.....and those big checks. We should use the information from these guys to better out craft.

[ChrisBBeats1]

so from reading these comments...Engineer's are pretty bitchy, huh? no wonder you guys never talk to anyone in the studio

[AlexNiedt]

Never before have I seen a comments section of an audio-related video so full of idiocy and poor information.

Dave Aron is tha man!!!! Truly a privilege to have access to this tutorial. Thanks for the crisp clean songs over the years!

@Vanjal So why dont you post two or three mixes you done.......and let us all hear it....and will tell you if it sounds better than Dave Aron's. what you dont understand is that even the GREATS have some of their mixes CLIPPING....its not about that...its about capturing the sound and emotion of the song...you can ALWAYS handle clipping later on...its not an issue at all. Dave Aron is a friend of mines....and personally he's a great guy, its people like you who like to bring people down why?

[kalamity616]

Dave Aron is officially my favorite person until further notice... i should of watched his shit forever ago

[Vanjal]

@pirell Watch Many Marroquin and Maserati for great lessons. They are mixing rap as well but they do that GOOD and they can distinguish terrible ear piercing-speaker blowing digital overs.

[pirell]

@Vanjal 3 of those people you mentioned are on WAVES.com website as they are mixing masters, but guess what...SO IS DAVE AARON..HAHAHA. so now you can piss off with your complaints when in reality you havent mixed shit. nobody cares...so bugger off and allow us to learn from the more experienced mixers, not a frigging loud mouth nobody like you.

[Vanjal]

@pirell I'm not famous as this guy but if he became famous with THIS than certainly I need just to wait. Chris Lord Alde, Eddie Krammer, Randy Staub, JJ.Puig, Maserati...those are REAL mixers. This guys is just someone who likes taking overloaded mixes as an excuse for lack of understanding audio.

[pirell]

@Vanjal many HH mixes are clipped and distotrted, its all part of the mix, trying to sound different. nobody rights kanye and says :hey i liked your tracks but you didnt mix it properly cos it was clipping. you dont have anything to post bcos you're more of a talker than a doer. if people pay dave aaron lots of money to mix for them its for a reason. who the heck knows YOU? its always easy to talk without backing up. so run away and crawl back into your cave you silly girl. done talking to u
