The mystery is over. Meet Tim Starnes. Tim Starnes has spent decades as a music editor and mixer on major film scores - credits include The Lord of the Rings trilogy (with composer Howard Shore), The Departed, Hugo, and The Aviator. He's also taught music editing at NYU's graduate film scoring program since 2007. I had the fortune of meeting him in 2021 and he was the stem mixer for 52 songs I produced for Blues Clues/Nickelodeon. He's joining us live for The Cinematic Mix Intensive. I asked Tim what trips up composers who mix their own music. We'll cover: • Gain staging and signal flow • When it's actually an EQ problem, and when it isn't • Why dumping plugins on the master bus doesn't fix what's wrong How it works: 4 cinematic and trailer composers will open their sessions live and get their mix diagnosed by Tim, plugin by plugin. Submit your track after signing up and get in the running for a live review. Not presenting? You'll still watch real mixes get broken down live and get your own questions answered in a Q&A at the end.
