What happens when you get hired to mix a sub-par recording?
As a Hardcore Music Studio member, you’ve gone behind the scenes and learned the workflow and techniques that go into a killer professional mix.
Not only that, you got to download and work with professionally recorded multitracks - allowing you to practice your mixing without fighting against issues that come up due to poor recording quality.
Now, while this is really the ideal way to learn how to mix, the reality is that we’re not always sent well recorded tracks to begin with.
(Or if you’re recording your own stuff, you might not be as experienced or you might not have access to the room or gear during the recording phase to deliver this caliber of raw tracks.)
The truth is that as a mixer, you’re going to face many different challenges and issues with the tracks you’re mixing.
And that will never stop.
Actually, even after I started getting bigger & better clients, I still got sent sketchy raw tracks to mix… even from established bands and labels!
But I want you to see this as an opportunity...
Because the one thing that’s going to set you apart as a professional mixer is your ability to deliver killer mixes regardless of what you’re working with.
I call this Gold Standard Mixing because when I take a project on, I’ll do whatever it takes to meet MY standard of a professional mix - no matter what the quality of the source tracks is.
So what better way to build on what you’ve learned so far than to see how to apply the Hardcore Mixing techniques when you’re starting with sketchy tracks?
This is what Gold Standard Mixing is all about - turning sketchy tracks into slamming mixes.
In this add-on course available only to Hardcore Music Studio members, you’ll go behind the scenes of a totally different song, one that was sent to me from a typical local band.
The raw tracks had a lot of issues, plus I was behind the 8-ball to start with because the EP had already been mixed once…
So I needed to compete with existing mixes AND deliver a better mix while fighting against sub-par source tracks.
The course will show you how to apply Hardcore Mixing techniques to a totally different set of tracks, and reveal some completely new techniques that I used to overcome the problems in the source tracks.
Here are some examples of what’s covered in the course:
- Fixing Poorly recorded live drums with editing mistakes
- Working around overhead tracks that had more kit than cymbals
- Crafting a big, solid, gritty bass tone from only one average-sounding DI track
- Having to re-amp the main guitars
- Mixing over-edited vocals without adequate layers & doubles
- Plus many other examples of creative solutions to sketchy source tracks.
Available only to HCMS members:
- Over 2.5 hours of additional video training
- Original multitracks from the band and the final multitracks from my mix
- Same in-depth training style you expect
- Streamlined to build on top of what you learned in Hardcore Mixing - not repeat it.
When you’re in this type of situation, the pressure is on and you’ve got to be bold and deliver a Gold Standard mix.
This is how you build trust among the artists you want to work with and keep advancing your career.
You can be sure that even as you climb the ladder as a mixer, you'll be given sketchy tracks and there won't be any time or budget to ask for new tracks.
Don't allow your mix portfolio to be brought down by a set of sub-par tracks.
Commit to the Gold Standard.
