Dope little article about some of the Grammy nominations and their loudness and dynamic practices. https://waveinformer.com/2026/01/28/2026-grammy-mastering-analysis/

@Hallé Barrantes Haha nice. I personally don’t like TP. It sounds weird to me and I feel like it ruins the transients. I don’t intentionally over shoot 0dbfs but sometimes it just does it on its own, or on the conversion in streaming.

@Hallé Barrantes Let me know what you think. If it sounds good it’s how it is suppose to sound 🤷🏽♂️

Mix Lab on Monday
Fam! Lets kick off our first community Mix Lab on Monday February 9th. How does 3pm MST sound? In the Mix Lab, the song is the Constant. The Engineer is the Variable. When we strip away the "competition" (who is loudest, etc.), we are left with pure interpretation. The why did you do what you did, opens us up to a conversation, where we are learning from each other and discussing elements that we may have missed and interpreted differently than others. The Mix Lab is about proving there are multiple right answers. Come to this lab not to see who has the best mix, but to see how many different ways this song can exist. You will leave not with a trophy, but with a new technique for your own toolkit.

I am going to try. How long will it be? And are you trying to have the sessions up or are we just talking about the mixes?

@Hallé Barrantes Okay cool. I probably won’t have my setup that’s why I asked, but yeah, I put it in my calendar and will try to make it.

NLS Channel?
Touching on what @Pedro Arechiga was talking about, mixing from the top down, I usually start with some NLS.. just one.. and I usually find that Mike works best.. Then when I bypass and activate, the difference is night and day!! I know @Dom Mendoza does something similar.

Lately I’ve been trying to move fully ITB, as I do have an analog summer, but I’ve yet to find something that I like on my subgroups to replace what summing does for me. I’ve tried the Slate VCC, and the SSL4000E from PA, and a number of other ones, but idk it is hard to get the same feel and I miss my summer hahaha

VSX?
Has anyone been tapping into the mixing with VSX? If so where do you find yourself mixing for the majority of your time? I like Stevens room... but this Spitfire studio is CLEAN!

Automation?
What sort of automation do you guys do? When do you do it? I usually do my last and final automation on the mix bus as I am winding down the mix.
