Tidbits!
This is just a collection of unrelated tidbits, obviously clear, and so rating it has to be for that tidbits category. If you are expecting a "Dave Grammy Winner Producer Master Lesson," this is not it. It's a tidbits collection. After watching one of the videos, I bought a limiter I was unfamiliar with. Thanks for sharing Dave! With tidbits, don't watch if you are not up for snacking, and take what you find useful; discard the rest. I did not watch all minutes of all videos. I happen to like having access to Grammy-winner tidbit. ;)

I like you Dave ... but I'm not feelin' this.
I could flip through a MusicRadar feature and learn the names of 15 limiters. I like 'show and tell,' but where was the tell? The other parts of this video had nothing to do with the title, disjointed from one another and lacking in any real teaching points. Very disappointing.

Dave Pensado must see
Dave Pensado is one of the recording industry’s preeminent mix engineers. With multiple Grammy nominations and wins under his belt, Dave has had an astounding career. Christina Aguilera, Pink, Shakira, Beyoncé, Flo Rida, Afrojack, Frank Ocean, and more are a fraction of the superstars who keep Dave on speed dial. From pop to hip hop, country to Latin, and R&B to alternative, Dave’s special niche is making radio-friendly records while enhancing artistic intent.
In 2010, Dave and his manager started a web series entitled Pensado's Place. The show is wildly popular, is seen in over 150 countries by 600,000 people a month, and is used as curriculum in over 100 colleges around the globe. Every week audio artisans who work with superstars like Coldplay, Kanye West, Rascal Flatts, and more join Dave to discuss all things audio. The show has been featured in Forbes, Huffington Post, Boston Globe, and Last Call with Carson Daly among others.
With all the success, what is Dave’s favorite part of his career? "Nothing is better than being able to teach," says Pensado. "The ability to share and watch it positively impact a life is incredibly powerful." It’s that ethos that makes Dave so revered by his peers and makes him a legend to his fans.
