Highly Suspect 'My Name Is Human'
1 h 44 min • 2019
In this 2-hour mixing tutorial, Joel Hamilton opens up the multitrack for Highly Suspect’s hit single "My Name Is Human" on his SSL console and then creates a new mix of it on camera, explaining every thought and decision that he makes along the way.
This video is an in-depth look at what it's like to mix a hit rock song from a massive band, using the best of both analog and digital tools.
In this tutorial, Joel explains:
- His workflow in detail, including session setup, gear, routing, revisions and delivering mixes to clients.
- How he uses an SSL Console and Outboard processing to shape the tone of the record and then moves into the box to fine-tune the mix
- Uses outboard time-based effects like an Effectron II, AKG BX10, and a Bricasti M7
- Sets stereo bus EQ and compression
- Prints to a dedicated print machine w/ separate hardware and then does additional digital processing after printing stems from the analog mix.
- How to slave multiple computers together to harness more processing power.
This is your chance to take an exclusive look at Joel's mixing techniques, thought process, and the approach that he has used to sculpt countless hits.
After you have seen how Joel mixed it, download the multitrack session and mix the same song for yourself to practice what you have learned.

Great video!
Must add a video on the making of A Color Map of the Sun. Wonderful record

Great video! But the audio from the master of the console is inverted, I think.

This video is genius. I love the 'total artistic' approach, emotion-techinical..
Please, give Joel Hamilton more screen-time. He obviously has a lot more to share...

I love how he makes all of his mixing decisions in context. You'll notice he never solos anything to make adjustments. He just turns up the fader to make adjustments and then lowers it back once he's finished. Such a master.

Great insight into Joel workflow, about his recording and mixing philosophy, and about some of his techniques to shape and feel his vision. Thank you!
