I've watched one video and I have a question. This will probably be answered later, but I need to go to bed! He only turned the master button off on the drums? I would think that everything going to a bus...guitars, vocals, keys ect. would need that master button turned off so the signal would go through the bus before the master and not at the same time. Am I wrong?

In the second video he started to solo the drums and found his masterbus mistake and corrected it. 

I guess that explains it then...

I do like the video series very much but I have to say that I am not a big fan of slamming the compressors as hard as he does. I try to make sure in my mixes that the dynamics are really allowed to flow up and down with the emotional contrast of the song. This gives the impression that the instruments are weaving in and out of the mix among each other creating a very subtle texture to the music. I do slam it pretty hard on the rock and pop projects. Just not as hard as he seemed to be doing.

I have to agree about the compression. I think -2 or -3db of gain reduction is enough but it depends on the sound. He should get himself a headset instead of using a mic stand. lol!

Well worth the $5 though.

Great! I thought I was missing something. I've only watched the first one, but this will be a big help for me in getting used to Mixbus. I wish the video quality was a little closer to HD. If I make it full screen it gets a little blurry. All in all a good $5 purchase.

Here's some good videos.

I've been subscribed to that thread on YouTube for as long as I've had Mixbus...and it's well 
worth exploring...

I finished watching the whole video presentation earlier today ….
I have to say , he did some super cool stuff with all the routing and mixing 
by the time he got around to getting the vocals edited and ready for a final mix I had a lightbulb moment and said 
to myself ……Oh,  so thats how they do that … now theres no more excuses  that bro taught me how to fish

I noticed something in MB yesterday. There is a plug in called "hammer", or I think it's called that, it acts sort of like a transient shaper. It gave that breathing effect he was talking about on the smack, parallel  compression,  track.
