I think having to listen to the song so many times whilst hes not explaining what hes doing gets boring and gives me listening fatigue. Its different when you are the mixer. Being pro ectively engaged automatically. But during these silent listening periods maybe there can be more annotation to make it more engaging for the viewer of these rather long spells of silence. Or have the mixer overdub what hes doing in post production of these videos in voice. To make it more engaging for us whilst were watching the mixer fiddlleing. When im mixing i can fiddle away of course. But if someone was watching me, i would want to describe to them what i am doing as i do it to keep.it interesting for them . Something to consider for future puremix tutorials. And thank you mr king ! Obviously hes sharing thoroughly his process! Muchly appreciated.

The lead vocalist was talking too much in Ep. 6 time 48:45. That there was peak "why bands break up" He was like, I dont want this fill 😂 . Every other band member was down at that moment. Otherwise, Great song. The singer needs some humbling.

What a cool series! Really interesting to see the process from start to finish. Excellent detail and explanations. I think I'd like to have a pint with Jacquire.

So funny, lol I use HEAT and it's great, but it's literally off when the knobs are centered.

Wow! So glad they left the Buzz segment in at first it was really annoying. but very cool to see how Jacquire responded. he was obviously annoyed by the persistent problem but pro active in striving toward a solution and reassuring to the band. Great Video!

Would love a template video for Jacquire, especially one with LUNA!

Quite surprised by the amount of EQ they are using at the recording stage. Fix in the mix doesn't seems to be the rule here but who cares ?

Thumbs up to Rich! I know how hard this can be for a vocalist and I really appreciate that you made it on camera and shared it with us! Thank you 1000 times for that! P.S. The whole series is great and the song is F.I.R.E.!
