I was watching my new favourite youtube show, Pensado's Place, where several time Grammy award winner Dave Pensado hosts a 40-80 minute full on audio related shows with other random guests, mostly some "noname" audio engineers, producers and guys who worked on records that have sold maybe a few billion copies :Spin: Also for example on episode #25 is the guy who originally made the 5150, George Saer and episode #17 is Joe Baressi.
But after I watched the show for a while (I haven't watched all of them yet, I just discovered the show like this week), I just realized that the pro's are actually working kinda "slow". I mean, Dave said on some episode that it takes him roughly about FOURTEEN(14) hours to do a rough, almost finished mix and the guest said the same thing. That's roughly two full work days and all the editing and bouncing to audio has been done at that point. But yeah, they might work on ~200 track mixes so it can easily sum up, but in general when I was eyeballing some of his "In The Lair" mixes, he only had roughly 50 tracks per mix.
Another thing that I was wondering that he said that even he is still struggling with really basic stuff too like hearing compression etc (or then he was just straight up LYING )
So I came to think, that should I actually also start take my time on the mixes too?
I just started watching this show on Friday. I love it!
