8 Top Mix Engineers Mix The Same Track Sound On Sound magazine 2024-07-24 | Many engineers are refreshingly open about their craft, laying bare their decision‑making processes in SOS interviews and online videos. But a problem remains for students of mixing: they’re watching different cooks making different dishes with different ingredients. There’s never really been an opportunity to compare how different world‑class mixers would tackle the same multitrack. Until now!We commissioned eight of the world’s top engineers and producers, whose professional experience spans everything from classical, jazz and pop right through to extreme metal, to mix and master the same metal song. It wasn’t a mix shootout, as such: rather, the aim was to reveal more about the different decisions, approaches and techniques of each engineer when presented with the same material and the same brief.This video accompanies the Masters of the Art of Mixing article published in SOS August 2024: https://sosm.ag/masters-of-the-art-of-mixingFor more information on the project and to download audio visit https://www.modernmetalacademy.com/mixingThe mixes have been provided by:- Mark Mynett's Reference Mix- Andrew Scheps (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Adele, Johnny Cash, Beyoncé, Metallica)- Fredrik Nordstrom (In Flames, Opeth, Arch Enemy)- Jens Bogren (Opeth, Dimmu Borgir, Sepultura)- Mike Exeter (Cradle of Filth, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath)- Josh Middleton (Sylosis, Architects)- Adam 'Nolly' Getgood (Periphery, Animals as Leaders)- Dave Otero (Khemmis, Archspire)- Buster Odeholm (Born Of Osiris, Oceano, Hacktivist)#metal #musicproducers #musicproduction #mixing #mixengineer Chapters00:00 - Introduction To The Research02:35 - Initial Mix Comparison03:46 - Sense Of Depth & Realism06:03 - Reverb & Space Comparison07:04 - Differences In Low End Frequencies10:19 - Width Of Guitars In Mix13:15 - Isolated Guitar Section15:18 - Considering Mix Cohesion In The Drums18:48 - Reverb On Drums19:31 - Comparing The Toms21:42 - Panning Drums Audience Perspective Or Drummer Perspective?23:45 - Comparing The Bass Guitar Tones26:20 - Bass Guitar Note Definition27:25 - Guitar Tone & Mix Context31:53 - Different Approaches To Symphonic Components34:11 - Comparing Vocal Harmonies35:44 - Master Bus Processing Comparison37:05 - Outro______________________________________________________Subscribe to Sound On Sound: https://sosm.ag/subscribeVisit our main website (over 17,130 articles!): https://www.soundonsound.com______________________________________________________Get FREE 170-page RECORDING TECHNOLOGY eBook: https://sosm.ag/recording-ebook______________________________________________________Get 50% SAVING off a Sound On Sound Digital Subscription.Go to https://sosm.ag/digital and apply Promo Code: SOSYT50Like FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/soundonsoundmagFollow X: https://twitter.com/soundonsoundmagFollow INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/soundonsoundmag

Daniel Miller - Mute Records | Podcast Sound On Sound magazine 2024-07-05 | Daniel Miller, founder and chairman of Mute Records, talks to Kevin Paul about his entry into the music industry, the origins of the label and of his enduring love of modular synthesis.Chapters00:00 - Introduction00:58 - Early Musical Influences03:57 - First Encounter With Synths06:14 - The Korg 700s08:50 - Setting Up The Label And The First Release11:56 - How To Choose Artists To Sign14:10 - The Music Business17:38 - A More Relaxed Atmosphere19:07 - What Makes A Good Producer20:49 - Getting Started With Modular Synths24:35 - Discovering Eurorack29:21 - Modular Live Performances32:11 - Working As A DJDaniel Miller BiogDaniel Miller is the founder and chairman of Mute, a record label and publishing company with a long history of global Number One chart successes. Since its launch in 1978, Mute now has an artist roster that includes Goldfrapp, New Order, Can, KÁRYYN, Daniel Blumberg, Desire Marea, Louis Carnell, Josh T. Pearson, Erasure, Swans and Miss Grit, with offices in London and New York.Miller's early interest were electronics and synthesizers and he studied for a Diploma in Film and TV at Guildford School of Art (1969-72). After college, he worked as an assistant editor and editor in TV and advertising, before travelling and DJing across Europe. In 1976 he returned home and with a Korg 700S keyboard and a TEAC four-track recorder, made The Normal’s first single. He set up Mute to release the single in 1978 and the initial plan was for a minimum pressing of 500, but Rough Trade offered to distribute the single nationally, persuading Miller to press 2,000 copies. Called ‘TVOD’, it was backed with ‘Warm Leatherette’ and this electro-pop classic was later covered by Grace Jones on her epochal 1980 album of the same name.Further Mute releases soon followed and in 1980 Miller met Depeche Mode. When their original songwriter Vince Clarke left to form the synth-pop duo Yazoo in 1981, Miller suddenly found himself with two highly successful pop acts. Throughout the 1980s, Mute expanded at a careful pace, bringing Nick Cave and Erasure to the roster and expanding its international reach. New labels The Grey Area and NovaMute were launched plus a deal with Blast First saw the ‘Theme from S’Express’ become their first Number One single in 1988. Moby’s 1999 album ‘Play’ grew slowly from a modest success into a 10 million selling phenomenon.After several years working within the structure of the Labels Division of EMI, 2010 saw the label return to its independent roots. Mute continues to nurture fresh talent and Miller remains heavily focussed on Mute’s creative output and is also a well-respected and sought after techno DJ, playing regularly worldwide.https://mute.com/artistsKevin Paul BiogKevin Paul started his career as a DJ but quickly found his passion was sound engineering. His first audio job was at Soho Studios in 1991, moving to Konk Studios six months later, where he worked alongside successful producers and engineers such as Bob Clearmountain, Adam Mosley, Pascal Gabriel and Gil Norton, as well as bands such as The Kinks, Galliano, Terrorvision, UFO and Elastica. After working on archiving the Depeche Mode back catalogue in 1994, he was offered an engineering role at Mute Records’ in-house studio... full biog at https://www.soundonsound.com/podcastshttp://www.kevin-paul.com/About The People & Music Industry Podcast Channel.Listen to experts in the field, company founders, equipment designers, engineers, producers and educators.______________________________________________________Catch more shows on our podcast channel.https://www.soundonsound.com/sos-podcastsAvailable on Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon or wherever you get your podcasts.______________________________________________________Subscribe to Sound On Sound: https://sosm.ag/subscribeVisit our main website (over 16,900 articles!): https://www.soundonsound.com______________________________________________________Get FREE 170-page RECORDING TECHNOLOGY eBook: https://sosm.ag/recording-ebook______________________________________________________Get 50% SAVING off a Sound On Sound Digital Subscription.Go to https://sosm.ag/digital and apply Promo Code: SOSYT50Like FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/soundonsoundmagFollow X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/soundonsoundmagFollow INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/soundonsoundmag

Her recent work includes the music for Romola Garai’s feature film Amulet - a terse, electroacoustic score which explores the sonorities of voices and ancient instruments, revealing and augmenting them with Sarah’s distinctive digital and electronic techniques. Sarah’s music draws on her lifelong interest in European folksong, cybernetics and esoteric sound culture. These inspire her progressive and strikingly original music. Her work reflects an eclectic musical background. A classically-trained composer who specialised in baroque and renaissance music, Sarah cut her teeth performing on the UK folk scene. Her desire to get inside notes and finely manipulate sound then build her own automatic music machines led her to study electroacoustic engineering, then robotics, alongside music – fields that continue to inform her unique compositional style. Sarah received the Visionary Award from the Ivors Academy in 2021 and a Paul Hamlyn Award for Composers in 2018.Website: www.sarahangliss.comSoundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/sarahanglissTwitter: @sarah_anglissInstagram: @sarah_anglissCaro C BiogCaro C is an artist, engineer and teacher specialising in electronic music.
