Episode show notes:
When we give people feedback on their mixes before they join our coaching program, we're often talking about a lack of "size" and "depth".
Now what is that actually and what can you do now with that feedback?
We're all about helping you make exciting and unique sounding records. And you can only do that when you're able to make intentional decisions.
You won't get there with presets and things you copy from someone else. And knowing how to create size and depth is a big part of that. It's what's always lacking when people mix with presets or settings that they didn't choose intentionally.
In this Episode we're talking about:

1. Size:
   1. Frequency content
   2. Dynamics
   3. Contrast
   4. Writing/arrangement
   5. Transients/punch
      
2. Depth:
   1. Frequency content
   2. Reverb/delay
   3. Pre-delay on reverbs
   4. Detail
   5. Dynamics
      

And we're using real life everyday examples to explain these concepts.
Enjoy!
