I heard a TedX talk recently with one of my favorite musicians.  Victor Wooten spoke about the "Language Of Music".  At first, I discounted it... but man, was it deep. In the Ted Talk, he starts by saying he was "born into a band".  His brothers (The Wooten Brothers) needed a bass player and when he was born, he was groomed for that position. He talks about how they taught him to be a musician like most parents teach their kid to talk. Here are the links that I refer to in my podcast. Take a few minutes and watch them and then let me hear your thoughts below the blog post.        

Do you think you'd be more creative with your mix with unlimited resources? Or do you think your mix would be better if you had some limitations on it. Here's another question- which mix would you feel better about? In my opinion, you absolutely have to have limitations to creatively mix. In this episode of the podcast we talk about using these limitations as inspiration.

What if what you did in your could help you improve your mixes. That's what we're talking about on this episode of the MixCoach Podcast.

We also talk about: The McGurk Effect   Heil PR22 vs. SM57 (you be the judge)   If you have questions, go to  and leave us questions if you have them.   Also, if you'd like some cool files to mix to get the core of mixing under your belt, a GREAT place (in my humble opinion) is at   Thanks for listening    

Sometimes when you've mixed a ton of songs and you have a system dialed in.. your mixes are consistently.. you may want to mix things up a bit (if you will forgive the pun). In this podcast, Jon and I talk about ways to add some newness or freshness to your mixing workflow.  From expensive to free. This podcast is brought to you by MixCoach Member where we completely solve the "style" scenario that we talk about in the episode.
