I thought I'd kick off the year by talking about... well... myself! It's good to know what mixing engineers need to make the best mix of your music, so this week is a discussion about:
- Managing expectations ahead of time with your engineer
- Logical naming of tracks
- Exporting stems effectively
- Sharing critical session information
- Organising your files
If you're interested in being one of the 3 bands to receive a free mix/master from myself to kick off 2021 then email me:
