“ This is a great tutorial. Straight to the point, and very usefull. I would have liked te see a chapter about vocals in electronic music, maybe in part 2? :)


”

“ I really enjoyed the tutorial.

Oslav had some great techniques on mixing. I really liked his simple approach and clear instructions.
If only I had access to this 8 years ago when I had started out.

Great work ;)

”

“ This is the kind of learning that I love!

Olav made it fun!

And thats what its all about.

More please!!! ”

“ This is my favorite MacProVideo-Tutorial so far. It offers so many helpful hints to make electron dance music productions sound great with Logic. Olav B. has done a great job and he seemed to enjoy making the tutorial as much as I watched it. ”

“ I have no background in electronica, but I enjoyed "Mixing R&B" and learned some very useful approaches from that, so I bought this one.

I've watched the video twice now and enjoyed it a lot. It's well-paced and Olaf has an excellent rapport as a trainer. In many ways, his message mirrors David Isaac's--use EQ, pan, level, and reverb to aurally separate the voices; hearing that same message in two contexts suggests that this is the foundation of mixing. That in itself is useful information.

I have one global suggestion for the videos: it would be very useful to be able to control the respective levels of the trainer's voice and the music. I find it difficult to hear subtle changes in the mix when I'm also listening to someone speak. A balance slider would allow me to go back, mute the voice, and more-carefully listen to the changes in the music. ”

“ I have learned quite a bit of watching this tutorial. Especially the part with sends and busses, plus sidechaining been very usefull. How to use the different effects. I like the long videos, instead of the short ones. ”

“ No better way to learn than from the pros and producers who are influential because they set the bar high. ”

“ These are the Tips of Pro ! I knew the most of them but it was a very good Tutorial to fresh me up. ”

“ Very enjoyable ”

“ A great resource for this type of music and it should crossover into other genres as well. I learned some great tips from Olav and will implement all of them.

When my projects are done, I'm going to tell people that I learned my mixing techniques from Olav Basoski. ”

“ great video. went by all too quickly.

thanks - look forward to others like this... ”

“ Although Electronica is definately not my thing this tutorial was a really good, plenty of useful stuff that I could apply to my work. And I liked Olavs tone too. He comes over very well. A shame he's not into acoustic stuff!! ”

“ This was one of the best tutorials (for Logic users wanting to create electronic house music) I have come across. Obviously being a wicked Tech/Electro house producer himself, Olav knows his stuff. I think people who want to make all kinds of electronic based music will benefit from an incite into how Mr Basoski does things!!!! ”

“ I really liked it. Very thorough, yet accessible. Rambled a little in one segment but a little editing could fix that. ”

“ Mixing Electronica 404 is clear concise and easy to follow. The gentlemen teaching the class on this DVD is very thorough. He makes sure you understand exactly what to do inside of Logic itself. ”

“ Logic 404 Mixing Electronica is a great start in learning how to mix initially electronica but you can apply this to other instrumental music forms.

The next one in the series could be 405 Arranging Electronica with the various genre included. ”

“ Clap Clap Clap!
Great video, great teacher.
Olav Basoski for president!!
I have to tell you this video will change the way you approach the mix forever!
I hope you release other video by Olav Basoski in the future.
Cheers ”

“ How I managed to get to grips with Logic 8 in such a short time I don't know. I could not of done it without the help of some of the Mac pro video tutorials especially this one. If you are a newb looking for good, clear, pro electronica mixing tips and knowhow, this is for you.
”

“ Really handy. Showed me the way of doing things.. in a way I hadn't thought of before.
You can tell the teacher's really experienced at what he does. All and all it gave a clearer insight of Logic's posssibilties, and it's fun too. Am I getting paid for this?! ”

“ Great tutorial.
Learnt so much from this one tutorial.
I highly recommend this for beginners and
pro's.

”

“ Very very good.I enjoyed every single moment. keep it up and if possible bring more mixing electronica video tutorials from other electronic music artists.I am sure that there are more mixing technics around than Olav Basoskis.

Thanks Chris. ”

“ While watching the "Mixing Electronica" tutorial, I kept thinking Olav Basoski made it look -- and sound -- so easy to do. Of course, he has years of experience behind him. And yet, his tutorial convinced me I too could progress to where it was equally easy for me to mix music in a fast, efficient and professional manner. Thanks for that Olav & macProVideo.com! ”

“ Very good video, it helped me alot with my mixing. Learnt alot using compression. ”

“ Really love you guy's stuff! It's great! I learned a lot from your tutorials. Logic 404 is really good! My only complaint is the audio quality. I see great mixing technics but it is really hard to hear what is going in the mix. I don't know how you could fix it, but it would help a lot.
Thx
Rob!
PS. I will have a demo on bands website by 5-5-08, thanx in-part to you guys. It would be great to get you feed back! www.infinitimpact.com ”

“ Amazing, Tons of information and compliments what i learned in school for recording engineering
Makes Mixing seem less stressful ”

“ Very interesting tutorial. I learned a lot of things I didn`t know. Its good to have especific electronic music tutorials
I missed a final word about having to master the tracks.
Eventhough, excellent tutorial.
Thanks a lot Olav! ”

“ Great hands-on tutorial with a lot of real life tips! ”

“ It's always great to see an experienced person approaching the subject of mixing. Makes it so much more hands on and understandable. That is certainly the case with this tutorial. Really useful. Perhaps a little more emphasis on arrangement and setting the track up in first instance would have added to the mix!! ”

“ The tutorial Mixing Electronica is very interesting and clear. It is a great help for me in the mixing process but, i would have liked to have a little more details sometimes. I was wondering if i could find some tutorials like ( Mixing RNB or Pop Music? )

Thanks. ”

“ Excellent I learned a lot of what i have been doning wrong. my songs have already been dramatically improved because of the traing hear. A must have for anyone. not just electronica but good tips that can be used on any kind of music. ”

“ Logic 404: Mixing Electronica delivered as advertised. Very useful and simple to understand. If you are an expert at mixing you won't need this but if you are a novice or even, like me, you have been mixing your own music for a while this will upgrade your skills and introduce you to some new ones. ”

“ I was a Rock n' Roller, that was curious about electronica -- I am now hooked -- I purchased this video hoping to learn mixing techniques that I could apply to rock music -- I got more than I bargained for...So cool!!! - Very good instructor --Super!!! ”

“ The tutorial was done very well. His expertise and knowledge is great. The one thing I enjoyed was the last part of the tutorial which is were he talked very briefly on the layout of the track which was something that I wish he talked about in depth. Also I thought he was going to talk about how he makes his music from scratch, instead he had his track laid out in advance, which was disappointing to me. It would be great if you could get Sharam from Deep Dish or Axwell to show how they make a track too for another tutorial. ”

“ The tutorial was great, informal but in depth, and I watched it 4 or 5 times before I could really put everything into practice. More of that, please! ”

“ I think this one can be useful for all types of music, not only electronica. Another gem from macprovideo hosted by Olav Basoski who really knows his way around mixing. You can really take your music to a new level with this one. Excellent job. ”

“ This tutorial is excellent. This is not the genre of music I was wanting to mix however, it didnt matter. The techniques used can be applied to all.

“ I just recently purchased this tutorial and watched the entire thing twice in one sitting. I can't explain in words how blown away i am. what i learned in that tutorial in 2 hours or so completely washed away the last two years of incorrect information i was learning from friends/fellow producers. he made it seem so easy and obvious with being arrogant. if i had known what i was going to learn, i would have gladly paid $100 for this same tutorial. Excellent! ”

“ An excellent tutorial from an industry pro. I have many Olav productions, so eagerly anticipated checking this one out. I was not disappointed. Very, very useful! Forza Olav! ”

“ Olav has a distinctive talent to verbally reproduce his mindsequence (pardon my English).
He builds it up as if he knows what your next question will be. Simply Outstanding.
I worked with it and learned alot about my own taste and what I really want with my music myself.
great Job Olav, looking forward to more. ”

“ Olav Basoski meets the mixing prosess with the right humbleness and attitude. He delivers great tips that would take most of us years to discover. Thank you! ”

“ I own so many macProVideo.com tutorials it's hard to count but this is a real treat. We all have our own idealistic musical mixing concepts, but picking the brain of Olav Basoski is like gathering the ultimate pearls cast before swine. The presentation is less verbose and really chalked full of so many little gems. Just try not to blink when you watch it!

I think this has application for all types of mixing and not just for electronica.

“ Great tutorial - highly recommended. ”

“ Hello,

Here some feedback;

Nice real life example of mixing a dance track. Very very helpful.

There a small thing that (in my opinion) needs work.
After Olav makes changes to the mix, he immediately starts talking again or finishes up the subject. It would be very help-full if, after adjusting and tweaking, there is a minute to listen what kind of impact it has on the mix. Several times Olav starts explaining to soon when you actually really like to listen to what happened.

May be something for next vid? "Mixing Electronica Tips & Tricks" with Olav Basoski???????

Keep up the good work!

Best regards,
Guido

“ Really worth the money. If you not too sure about what you're doing when it comes to mastering and finalizing your mix.. this tutorial is a must! I think that the fact that you're watching/listening to Olav Basoski makes it cooler... because you are sure the guy knows what he's talking about... he's an experienced producer with tons of released music so you can trust him.. He is also very clear in what he explains, you don't really have to rewatch the same thing over and over.. he explains very clearly.. and doesn't just tell what to do, but also tells why to do it... so u understand what u do and why... which i think is very important because it enables you to deduce things on your own afterwards.. it's a plus

anyways.. if you want to learn properly and effectively it's a 50$ well spent :) ”

“ great instructional package. There're lots of mixing tutorials but few dedicated exclusively to electronica. Olav does a great job explaining his techniques in a very calm manner. HIghly recommended. ”

“ This Tutorial was incredibly helpful. Olav broke the process down really well into small chunks you could easily digest. Very clear instructions. Worth the cash money! ”

“ Without a doubt the best tutorial I have seen to date, this was exactly what I was looking for! Clear, at a good pace and in depth.

I hope to see many more of this type of tutorial in the near future. ”

“ Excellent. I loved it. One of the best tutorials in music production I've seen. Looking forward to macpro putting out more video's like this one. Focusing on electronica. Its improved my music 100%. Well done. Vance (melbourne) ”

“ Excellent!
Down to earth tutorial
Again, Excellent! ”

“ I really enjoyed this tutorial. it was very informative,and the instruction was well deliverd and easy to follow. I look forward to purchasing my next tutorial, mastering logic 8 101. ”

“ Out of all the videos I have purchased and watched so far, the Logic 404 Mixing tutorials were the most important. It doens't matter how good you are at making music if you can't mix it down correctly. I was able to improve my sound qulaity immediately after watching these tutprials. I highly recommend them. ”

“ Absolutely brilliant video for both beginners and advanced Logic Pro 8 users. Olav has a great teaching voice and the advice he gives is very helpful indeed.

Would recommend this product to everyone! ”

“ It was very educational. Olav talks thru some of the essential things in digital mixing, and doing so in a very nice and pedagogic way. I would have wished for a little more in-depths on certain points, and also for a slightly more complex track to work with.

All in all, a very good tutorial. If Olav makes a follow-up and advanced tutorial I would check it out, for sure. ”

“ Excellent tutorial,very informative and fun.Olav's tutorial really helps with mixing this syle of music.more please ”

“ I downloaded this tutorial to see if I was missing anything in my knowledge in mixing & mastering. I have learnt some nice little tips in using busses and eq and on the whole I think Olav's style of teaching is less like being at school and more like a friend teaching. I hope he gets to make a part 2 as this is the best tutorial i've seen. ”

“ Well a mixing session with Mr. OLAV BASOSKI???? Am I dreaming????
Thanks MacProVideo to make this come true.. And again I want to $tre$$ that I love the way your tutorial make me believe I'm sitting next to the trainer, I mean very often I have a doubt on what just explained and he goes throug it again often starting from another way of doing it ..... WOW!!!!! Can you read my mind?????
love from rome (sorry 4 my english)

“ I learned a lot from this tutorial. Good pacing and delivery - in the same league as Eric Persing's videos for Spectrasonics (that's a compliment as they are about the only time I preferred a vendor's video to the manual). More like this, please. ”

“ This is an outstanding product. I'm not into Electronica as a style per se but mixing is mixing. I learned a great deal about placement and imaging as well as EQing bass against the kick. When to compress and what to compress. Expansion. I could go on for ever. Bottom line, I was instantly able to incorporate Olav's techniques into music of a very different style, successfully. ”

“ Very good explanation from Olav. I know him personally and he is a really good guy. ”

“ Great addition to the series. Although I don't compose electroinca, many of the tips will translate into other work. Well done. Keep the real world topics coming. ”

“ This is a really good tutorial as Olav works with the same tune from start to finish. You see and hear how he turns it from bad to good.
As the tutorial progresses the approach to mixing is set out in steps that are easy to understand and can be used on your own Logic projects.
This tutorial really helps if you are looking for a process to follow when mixing and bouncing music.
Looking forward to the "advanced - mixing electronica" to see what other tricks this guy has up his sleeve ;) ”

“ A great tutorial. Easy to follow with simple explainations on why each step is taken. Olav offers a wonderful insight into mixing the Electronica genre and this video provides the foundations that encourage further experimentation and exploration of the tools within Logic.

Highly recommended and I can't wait for MacProVideo to explore other genres in this way. Bring 'em on. ”

“ So far this is the most robust, clear concise and valuable video tutorial ever. If you want to learn how to improve your sonic landscape, this is the ticket. I own most of your videos and always get some good info from them. This is the best $35 dollars I ever spent. Look for my artist at the Grammys this year. ”

“ Found it truely helpful. Some great tricks n tips and Olav keeps you interested the whole way through. Will be sendng him a demo of the track he inspired to create!! hahahah... j/k ”

“ Keep up te good work, thanks mr. Basoski respect!!
Thanks MacProVideo!! ”

“ Unbelievable! The tutorial is so nicely explained. As a mixing rookie this video is a must have.

Thank you. ”

“ LOGIC 404 Is what i needed to get me over top. 404 is clear as a bell easy to understand great job. Thank you for loving what you do.

GORDON JONES ”

“ This was great! I love this type of tutorial, using real-world mix sessions with an instructor who actually produces electronica for a living! I'll definitely be buying more like this, thanks! ”

“ Whether youre a seasoned pro or a eager rookie, these videos tutorials will get you into shape in no time.
Olav breaks the whole mixing process of electronica into an easy understandable way of working.
If you are new to Logic 8, just like me, this is the tool to get you working perfectly, its a must!! as with all the macpro video series. ”

“ Clear and simple....
in one word...efficient ! ”

“ this video safes me a lot of finding out time...

thanks ”

“ Great tutorial! If anyone is ever confused if they are doing something right or wrong this tutorial will put you on the right track. I recommend coming out with a in depth sound design tutorial that covers tips and tricks when making kick drums, basses, routing capabilities, etc.. A tutorial that demonstrates the creative capabilities of logic. ”

“
Come on people, Don't stare at your mix, feel it!
Great quote coming from Electronic Producer Olav Basoski.
This tutorial is a "down to earth" representation of how one Producer shows his approach to mixing, and with true Dutch humor.

Like dumping Lego blocks out of the box, the First chapter starts with a mess of a mix within logic's audio Instrs arrange page, then he slowly brings it to fruition, till he knocks it out!

For these series Macprovideo has stepped up a level in keeping us still interested for future releases.
The Electronica video is based on internal audio instrs ,
so I look forward for the other Genre's like R&B-Hiphop-Latin-Pop-Country that consist of Programming as well as live playing recording like Gtrs.
To quote Olav, "yeah Ok Why not"?

John Acosta ”

“ That was great for me. I am a video editor one shop man. Audio knowledge is more difficult to garner than video. This course gave me some great tips for mixing that I have already apply. It also taught me what to look for.
It would be great to have courses on different genre.
Thank you for providing this to neophytes like me
Brice ”

“ The tutorial is really helpfull. It shows more details in a process of mixing. I suggest it for advanced users, too. ”

“ First of all, I am NOT into House at all.
So it´s kinda unusual for me to get a "Mixing Electronica" tutorial.
But I hoped to raise my horizon and get some tips and tricks I may find useful for my work.
My hopes were exceeded!
Olav Basoski makes an excellent job on this mixing tutorial. You never have the feeling he rushes you through the videos. I really enjoyed his attitude and it was a pleasure listening to him. As a non-native speaker I can say he did a very good job here as you can understand him clearly and without problems.
And overall thats exactly what you expect from a great tutorial: You learn something, it´s fun watching and it can bring you to a new level. Keep up the grand work !
(Sorry for my english - as I mentioned, not my mothertongue) ”

“ this dvd is great good tips and olav make us see the way he work but i still think that he use just logic vst and plugs in the demo and he probably never use in real thought he will talk about it a bit more even if he do a bit at the end he dont talk about the vst. one thing is sure it s that with this dvd you are far to make sound as good as him. ”

“ Very good stuff. You get to sit in on a complete mix session that covers a lot of the ins and outs of Logic as well as mixing. I hope this line of training continues. ”

“ I thought that Logic 404: Mixing Electronica was very a good way to teach the use (or Deeper use) of logic. The benefit is twofold for beginners in that they gain insight on the use of logic, and a rare glimpse inside the process of an accomplished mixing engineer. For those who have been in the business for awhile, there is a great deal to learn about logic in this video with a slide towards mixing. I look forward to more videos of this type. Thanks for this great series MacPro! ”

“ Very useful tool to see how an experienced producer approaches Logic. I learned a few tips and ideas to use in the mixing process. Very well done. Great job. ”

“ A large display of the fundamental techniques used in mixing within Logic. ”

“ Really, more like this please!
Alt rock,hiphop,etc....
I just really wish Olav would have used all the plug-ins he mentioned at the end during the mix.
I also wish for continuous play without all the stops for each section chapter or whatever.You guys are doing a good job and this thing with Olav is a good step in the right direction, folks want to see deep techniques on how the pros do this stuff, so keep up the good work! ”

“ I've watched a lot of mixing tutorials on DVD and a lot of those were lame(you know who you are) because of the music presented.

This is the best tutorial on electronic music/music.. If you listen to the unprocessed demo then it sounds like a bedroom demo but it's proven on this video that processing it with eq, compression makes that demo cd/radio/club ready.. This DVD is very important to me.. It will take my remixes to the next level.

Oh I don't use Logic as I use Ableton Live and it's basically the same idea but just different plug ins.. I will still get excellent results.

I kind of don't want to recommend this because I want the information only to myself.. Sad but true. ”

“ i really don't care for this style music - i don't own any of it - it's repetitive, mechanical.. et al - i don't dance anyway.

but it's the excitement that this genre of music embodies that always gets me boppin' my head and grooving

what worked for me is watching olav's mix techniques, his method, basically - what he talks about can be applied to any music and that was what i was really after - and it works.

he clearly shows techniques and then shows the result before and after

olav is pretty funny through-out also , he's got some one liners that made me grin

to be sure, olav is the real deal in my mind - because he says over and over again " you don't need to add too much of this or over do that to get things sounding great" and he practices what he preaches

a pretty lame sounding 8 measures at the beggining of the video turns into an exciting sonic bit

like the olympics - nobody gets a perfect score - so they keep working harder

keep the videos coming ”

“ The best mixing electronica tutorial ever.

thanks for it! ”

“ This is an excellent tutorial. Olav doesn't miss a beat as he explains the mixing of a dance track. The techniques he demonstrates could easily be applied to other genres. I am now an avid EQ user. Thank you.
Darren ”
