I'm a sucker for mixing and mastering videos, but the experience is often akin to watching political news: I end up yelling at the screen "that's BS!". Many are guilty of regurgitating "common wisdom" that may be based more on urban legend than science. Even some that are mostly on the money still require you to keep your skeptical hat on. 
 
So it's refreshing when you come across a YouTube content creator that gets it right 100% of the time. After watching a half-dozen of this guy's videos, I haven't caught him even once in a technical error. His presentations are clear, logical and well-structured. The Russian accent takes a few minutes to tune your ear to and he'll never get a job narrating a Nature special, but the content is solid.
 
Here's an example, which although mis-titled (it has little to do with mixing on headphones), offers a practical technique for analyzing your mixes and comparing them to references.
 

 
This one's more typical of his lessons, which usually concentrate on a single mixing trick. It shows how to use a vocoder to make a crowd chant. Pretty cool.

Yes I've been watching Mixbus TV for a couple of years and have learned a ton from it. He really knows what he's talking about and also has some really cool little tricks up his sleeve as well. It was from him that I learned to stop pass-filtering the lows out of tracks too much and to bring them down with a shelf instead. He talks about things in a lot of detail as well and isn't afraid to put out a 20 minute video of just him talking on some topic or issue.
 
By the way Bit I think he's Italian, not Russian...at least if you go to the Facebook page of his Rockstar Rockstar Studios, it's written in Italian. I had never considered Russian...when I first heard him I thought he might be Brazilian because his accent is similar to a Brazilian friend of mine. 

Yeh, it's the kind of hard-to-place accent typical of someone who grew up elsewhere but has been speaking mainly English during his adult life. I guessed Russian because he sounds a little like this guy:
 

he definitely has some gems out there.  the most recent one I watched was his video on high pass filtering.
 
it was eye opening to say the least.  the phase issue is just not something I was aware of, and its the type of tip that really motivates you and makes you want to hop behind your rig and remix some things to see what you hear.
 
its never a bad thing when you see an idea or concept that makes you go whoa...I need to get behind the monitors and see what this is all about right now.

LOL.
Watch the video where he compares the API2500 hardware to the waves plug-in version.
The plug-in has the "attack" time set to .03 while the hardware has the "attack" time set to .3.
You can clearly hear the longer attack time of the hardware; it makes the hardware sound better.

 
 
 
 

What a fantastic find ...Love that first video
Super informative in an area I need to look into and get better at .
I can probably do the EQ thing with what comes in SONAR  ..
The other plug where he was able to isolate the sound stage from mono to extreme stereo has me stumped ...
What plugs would you use ...for that or even both ... 
Does anyone here have suggestions on how to accomplish this type of workflow in SONAR ?

I've been binge watching these vids for the past few days.  Some very good tips in there.  Great find. 

In my experience, emulations are cool, but never exact.

Any M/S decoder that lets you solo mid and side independently will do. Here are some that you may already have:
 
Channel Tools will do it, but lacks solo and mute buttons. You have to turn down the mid or side gain to hear just one or the other.
 
The free MSED plugin from Voxengo makes it a little easier because it does have mid and side mute buttons.
 
The Ozone equalizer also lets you solo/mute mid and side independently. This gets closer to what's in the video because you can also solo individual bands.
 
I'm sure there are many others.

Native Instrument's "Passive EQ" has a Mid/Side mode with solo buttons too.
