Do your bad mixes keep you up at night? And when you listen back, do you feel ghoulish? You might be suffering from the curse of the intermediate plateau — no matter what you try, your mixes still give you a fright. That’s why we’re hosting a free Monster Mix event — in partnership with iZotope and Native Instruments — where we vanquish evil spirits from your mix and teach you skills to transform your mixes from undead to alive. Monster Mix is a free, online event that takes place over 3 days, starting Monday, October 27th, at 12:00pm ET. It is hosted by our expert mentors who first break down the production process, then dive into mixing and mastering, demonstrating how to create a professional, polished sound. Ready to bring your mixes back from the dead? RSVP for free here: https://courses.mastering.com/event_full/1759790352952x651487503070265300?utm_source=FTMSkool See you there!

Just got this in my email and wanted to let people know about it-comprehensive and includes a bunch of Tom Frampton's great mix breakdown diagrams like the ones in his invaluable "Decoding the Mix" series.... https://www.masteringthemix.com/blogs/learn/best-reference-track-for-all-genres?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=Best%20Reference%20Track%20For%20All%20Genres&_kx=wm4jOOJiUtpC_h4dJumoEGdqSnypLJ9zUCnKLMUF5szMHh9t5U_WbMsBqvuEdl6T.JgPYuC

Which compressor brings out the best in ghost notes? I would like to hear the ghost notes clearer without automating the gain on them between every hit. I wanna focus solely on the ghost notes. I'm using a CLA 76. But Its brining the snare up too much at 4:1 ratio in the mix. Anything doesn't work or crushes the snare transients too much for my Pop Rock style mix.
