Amber Skye Noyes 'Howlin' - Trailer
Learn how to implement Ben’s unique approach to routing and his hybrid mixing workflow. He also demonstrates and discusses the importance of working on both the details and the big picture of a mix simultaneously.
This tutorial will teach you how to approach your mixes like a game of chess, starting with a concept and a vision for the final mix and then creatively executing the steps necessary to bring a song to life.
Ben primarily uses plugins by Universal Audio, Sonnox, Softube, Flux and Soundtoys, showing every move and explaining every decision as he builds the mix around Amber’s vocal. Using creative effects and bussing, Ben enhances and develops the sonic “story” of the song while also shaping the overall tone and vibe of his mix.
If you struggle with finding consistency and purpose for your mixes, this tutorial will show you how a world class professional tackles both the problems and opportunities presented by modern pop production.
