Only managed to watch the first one so far, really interesting, thanks for posting.
Funny, as he's talking, I realized I must know a few of guys that he worked with at various workplaces. It is interdasting though to see someone so technical actually make it musically. In all my years, I've really only met one or two people who could really compose and had the deep technical understanding to properly mix/expertly work protools, let alone program plugins.
Looking forward to the others.

watching part 2 as i type this - interesting when he is talking about mixing, its most of the stuff ive been trying to do myself this past few years so thats comforting to hear!
Yeah, I love how he explains everything, the way he puts things across makes it very easy to understand. Would be great to see him do more videos like these.

This vids are actually pretty fucking great. There's not really much in them (so far, only done 1 & 2) that I'm not aware of, but it's the fact it's all put in one cohesive and well articulated speech.
It's interesting to hear about some of Joel's (to his mates ) production methods as I've done things like scrolling through the kick drums super fast and last time I did it with another guy there, he was like "what the fuck are you doing?" and I questioned myself. Glad to hear I'm not bonkers lol. Or at least alone and bonkers.

The main thing that resonated with me was with about workflow. I'm obsessed with getting everything just right and the only good it does in the long run is slow me right down. I need to learn that if I'm 80% close its good enough and just move on.

Dudas a cool guy I could listen to him for hours. He holds back on going into the geeky technical stuff which is a bit of a shame as I would be really interested in it all.
Was ages ago when I watched but jaytech does a good pyramind session as well, worth checking out.

yeah was very interesting when he talked about deadmau5 not spending ages getting things perfect, just to about 80% - then when all those "80% things" added up in the mix it became something of its own
i can kinda get that when i think about it - thats where hardware probably forced that back in the day, less options, only 1 or 2 reverbs maybe - commit, print it, move on to the next thing.......

So true. I've been working on one remix recently and I realized I had spent in excess of a collective 3 days on mid line. Just get it close enough to be happy and move the fuck on....
