Good overview of mixing by using UAD plug-ins
Found this very informative for demonstrating how to mix electronic music using UAD plug-ins (along with stock plugins). A variety of instruments are tackled i.e. drums, bass, synths, FX and vocals all mixed into a final mixdown ready to be mastered (also briefly covered). Note you do not need UAD products to follow along.

Very informative!
It's always useful to watch someone else mix and pick up a few tips and tricks along the way. I think Fabio does an especially great job at being clear and concise in his explanations. Very informative if you have UAD plugins but also in general as a lot of these emulations aren't exclusive, as far as I know.

Not really helpful for me
Apart from the fact that I could not really hear any difference in sound in 50% of the changes (listened to it on a studio monitors), I did not really got something out of it - its called mixing with UAD plugins, while again half of it is Logic stock plugins....

Response from customer service:
With time you will develop an ear for the differences each plug-in makes and the accumulative effect it has on your overall mix. It just takes practice.
Most of the plug-ins used are UAD but he does use a couple stock plug-ins for EQ to sweeten the mix before moving on. Any EQ you have in your DAW will work. He does go on to use a UAD Pultec EQ for the mastering so if you have that, it's worth a watch. I hope you give the tutorial another watch!

Limited explanation with the use of UA plugins
Maybe it's the choice of electronic music that was chosen for this tutorial that was lame compared to what's is used in today's listening world. Could of gotten same results with standard DAW plugins used compared to UAD expensive plugins. Did nothing for me who uses Apollo interfaces.
