🎚️ Full mixing process in realtime

Pop some 🍿 (or some 🍾) and hang with me as I mix a full song, start to finish, by bassist/composer extraordinaire, Ike Sturm, who joins in live for much of the session remotely from his NY studio. Airplay and Chromecast are enabled, so get comfy on the couch and beam this baby up on the big screen in style this weekend!​

🫨 “Silent Killer” Stank face

Silent Killer - Alex Gage mix - Dana ideas

Alex Gage brought his “Silent Killer” mix to the Member Spotlight seeking low-end mix help. SPOILER ALERT: his mix was already really great, inspiring the “head bobbin’ stank face” you’ll see in my video response. I offered Alex some ideas on how he might try console emulations to create more hype, urgency and punch in his low-end and already-excellent mix. Check it out!​
