Why didn't he show any of the vocal stack processing on the main vocal/verse?

I watched Ryan on the daily webinars that PureMix is doing during this quarantine time. After Ryan's interview, I signed up for a membership and this was my first stop. It was great to see you mix this track! My main take away was your focused vision. You knew what you wanted to achieve before you started mixing and made your moves to achieve that goal. Thanks again! Tim (Columbus, Ohio)

Thanks Ryan, knowing you're working fast in this to [mainly] demonstrate your techniques, it's impressive how even as you are just roughing it all in, it all begins to gel with great cohesion and depth. Really enjoyable track for a tutorial. An overview of your signal paths would have been really handy to see, but no matter, this tutorial has a lot to offer. Thanks again for sharing.

Great vid but the camera poppin in and out of focus makes me nauseous.

A very comprehensive mix tutorial working with world class acts and removing the illusion from the process at the same time. Its a pleaseure to listen to well recorded material and see how to work it all into a cohesive mix. I love hearing something in the mix that catches my attention and then seeing the instructor address that very thing. But its also great when I didn't catch something and they bring it to my attention like Ryan did many times here. It just adds to the way that I approach a mix. A+

Ryan mixed it right before my eyes, and ears. I feel like I just witnessed a magical illusion, except that I know it actually happened for real. So many elements tied together perfectly. Whether you like hip hop or not, if you want to see someone mix something into an album/cd cut, sit back and enjoy. Total mastery. Subscribe, buy, and watch. You will learn mixing, and also humility. Thanks Ryan, Fab, and Scheps and everyone here, for allowing me to see you work.

fantastic as usual. Puremix.net...best money I've spent so far towards education. It's funny because some engineers are grabbing plugs from this company and that, and Ryan pretty much kept that to a minimum and delivered a great mix anyway. Just shows its about staying pure to the track, the overall song, and using the right tools instead of using tools for the sake of using them. Thanks again!

Wow , Ryan you are the man. What a wealth of info in how you think about a mix. Your practical use of plugins , and how to use them in itself was worth the price of admission. Thanks bro.

I wasn't really excited by the beginning of the video. But when Ryan started to add eq and compress to the lead vocal and put everything back in... wow ! He blew me away. I really appreciate his vision of a mix : very subtle and smart. Kudos mate.
