In this Iconic Insights episode 3 I have double Grammy-nominated mix and mastering engineer, Ryan Schwabe, on the show. We discuss his unique approach to mixing, his minimalistic style, and recent trends towards top down mixing. He shares key mixing secrets he took years to develop, such as parallel saturation tricks to add a gritty bed of noise which creates a sense of glue and cohesion.
