Yes. Totally agree. I look at his tutorials more from the Reaper user perspective. I learn a lot from him. He’s also great at keeping things simple and focused. There’s no bull. Everyone is free to have an opinion on the top down mixing video. I like trying out approaches that make my brain work a differently. I think you'd almost have to examine it from a DAW perspective & maybe that's great for Reaper..? Dunno 'cause I don't use that one. Think you & couple others referenced mixing analog / hybrid and that type of approach doesn't really work in analog land. Digital... mixing ITB is extremely forgiving. Can easily cover up a lot of slop & BS and have a mix that'll basically play anywhere no matter what. Plug ins don't really have a noise floor and if we clip something? Yeah, 32 bit float blah blah blee blee... just whack a brickwall at the end of the line so the red lights don't come on. Run levels too cold..? Too hot? Doesn't really matter. Mixing in analog you have to pay close attention to gain staging at each point... We're kinda always battling self noise so if tracks are too cold & you go looking for gain at the wrong point its easy to wind up with a noise floor that's only 35 or 40 dB down. And clipping in analog really sucks. Once the DA converters get tagged & glitch out... adding a ton of bus compression is NOT going to sound very good. Sure... its just mixing! Could also say a baseball and tennis ball are about the same size but that doesn't make 'em interchangeable.
