In this episode, Ben and Carl pull back the curtain on their approach for taking good mixes to the next level by implementing additional production. You'll get a peek into their fast-paced workflow, trying out new ideas without overthinking and how they get experimental with sound design.
  • Blending multiple sources to craft dream guitar, piano, and other instrument tones
  • Hunting for complementary sounds vs. just replacing problem elements
  • Strategically adding subtle percussive "ear candy" to lift energy
  • The "2-minute rule" for quickly trying out new production ideas
