Who am I :
I'm Streaky, a professional engineer from the UK. I make videos sharing what I've learned over 30 years of engineering.

I've worked at major London studios including Metropolis and Battery, and my credits include UK number-one singles from Lily Allen, Shanks & Bigfoot and Chipmunk, plus work with Paul Weller, Skepta, Groove Armada, Kasabian, Krept & Konan, Taio Cruz, JME, Giggs, Naughty Boy and The Manor.


What's in todays video :

Stop struggling with mixing vocals that sound fake or detached. Learn the secret to achieving a cohesive sound in your tracks.

Many producers rely heavily on EQ and compression to fix a mix that feels separate, but often the real culprit is a lack of space. This video explains why your drums and vocals might feel like they are floating rather than sitting together in the same environment. It is designed for bedroom producers and engineers who want their arrangements to feel unified without over-processing their signals.

By focusing on subtle spatial techniques rather than just heavy-handed dynamic control, you can create a professional-sounding balance. We look at how to stop treating instruments as isolated elements and start treating them as parts of a single, connected performance. Understanding these nuances is essential for anyone serious about improving their audio mixing skills.
