I React To the First Mix I Ever Did. It Was Metal. Here's What I Heard.
I've been mixing records professionally for over 15 years. Gold certified. My own commercial studio. Atmos, stereo, the whole thing. This is not that. This is the first band I ever tracked and mixed — a metal band from Indiana called A Contradiction. Early 2000s. Mixed on Logitech Z4 speakers in a dorm room basement with cinder block walls, no interface, and probably pirated plugins. I hadn't listened to it since. Until now. Turns out it's not as bad as I feared. And it reminded me of something important about how we actually get good at this. 🎙️ Need a mix or master? http://www.whisper-studios.com 🎧 Let's work together: https://www.recordingstudioloser.com/... 👉 Click this affiliate link to support me. https://sweetwater.sjv.io/DyJK1G 🔊 My monitors: http://sweetwater.sjv.io/0ZN4gR Need Mixing?
