@Michael Garris I'm in the same boat sometimes. With all that Nitty-gritty stacking up I could use a Good assistant.

Wow... this looks to be way beyond what I expected at first. Great Idea testing it out against The Battle hardened. I'm thinking the greater number of users for MIXSTEIN will be those that are fighting the Battle and feel like they are loosing it. Mixing is an ART just like playing an instrument is an Art, and it literally takes years to learn to play an instrument and play it at the Professional level. Those that can already Mix and feel good about their Product, will love it because they can speed up the Production line. Those that are still having doubts about their mixing and/or are feeling uncertainty about how some of the mix should be worked out... (those in the middle of the road, who already have some decent mixing under their Belt), will have fantastic benefits. Excited about it I am.

Unexpected surprise Awesome

Glad you Mentioned this @W Sullivan . If you are New or Otherwise, this is a very important Point. The definitions, (like in a contract) are extremely Important to the understanding of the principles being covered. (We are talking about Principles here, as "Mixing" is based upon Principles). Regarding Principles: 1 All Principles will always have clear definitions of the terms and items within the Principle. If there are no definitions or there are unclear definitions, there will be confusion about the principle. 2 Definitions can be misunderstood by those involved resulting in confusion 3 Definitions define the Goal Post. Without a clear definition of the Goal Post the Goal Post can be changed within the Game. (A contract is really just a game, with, Rules, a Playing-field, Players, "Agreements and Opposition," and a Goal). Standardization of definitions is the solution to this becoming a problem. (Like in a contract, terms can have different meanings), thus they NEED to be clearly defined within the contract to have a valid and workable contract. Likewise, Standardized Definitions, (definitions that define the words used within the principle), are the Foundation and Anchor to the principle itself.

I agree manual alignment is much better than Plugins, but it also takes a good set of vocals to make it work.

I am excited. Thank You!! Just saw you latest video, watched it twice through... so far. I don't know about most others, but this is exactly what I need. A Mentor, in my headphones, to help me improve. There are so many moves that can be made, even after the prep is done correctly, and getting the mixing process to slide in to the groove, is what I have had difficulties with. I have not wanted a tool that just does it all. That will never bring me up to the next level, and believe me, sometimes I have felt like I'm two sub-basements, below the 1st floor. Question? I have several Vocal Artists that I have been working with, who are still developing their own sound and feel. Several of them know exactly what they want, and they have it nailed as a vocalist. But I also work with new Artists, that are still searching. Then I also have one artist who is extremely versatile, and he can sing anything from hard Rock Metal to sweet love songs, slow ballads, 50s style . And I write everything from Jazz to Country. Can we, also get Mixstein to address the song being mixed, and suggest a genre and style, that is suitable, or even something that is more suitable to the Genre and style, that we as co-writers have done with it. I am totally capable of re-writing into something different, but sometimes I get stuck in a rut and end up trying to place everything into the same soup Bowl? I know this is more of a production thing, but production is what I am doing.😃
