In this video, I bring my song Again up on two SSL Big Six desks and walk you through a workflow of how I’d mix your track using my hybrid mixing setup. If you've ever wondered what happens when you send your files to a mixing engineer, this is a behind-the-scenes look at my approach!
🎵 Again is a track I recorded when I was 27 at Rogue Studios, Germany (sadly no longer there). It features:
🥁 Jan Jensen – Drums
🎸 Simon Bigg – Bass & Backing Vocals
🎤 Everything else – Me!
🔥 Topics covered in this video:
✅ Hybrid mixing techniques with the SSL Big Six
✅ How I enhance depth, clarity & dynamics in a mix
✅ Tips for mixing your own songs
