Recording Grammy-winning vocals in a bedroom
Super excited to share something with you today that's a first of it's kind for Mastering.com We're hosting an exclusive 5-day Vocal Production workshop where you'll get to learn the A to Z of recording and mixing vocals from Adele's very own engineer. Introducing Austen Jux-Chandler. Austen won a Grammy for recording Adele on her album, 25. In the attached photos, can see him on stage (second from the left) accepting the Grammy with Adele. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Austen has also recorded Ed Sheeran, Lady Gaga, A$AP Rocky, SZA, Mark Ronson, and John Legend. He has earned a reputation as one of the top vocal producers in the world. We recently hung out with Austen at Lion Share Studios in LA, where he told us that he prefers to record at his artist's homes, rather than multi-million dollar studios. It helps create a more comfortable environment that improves the performance, he said. That's when I knew we had to do something with Austen, so he could show you step-by-step how he's able to record Grammy-winning vocals in a bedroom. So, starting March 2nd, Austen is going to spend 5-days with students live on Zoom, teaching his entire methodology from session prep to recording, editing, comping, mixing, creative effects, and more. Austen has never opened up his process like this before, so don't miss this chance to learn from one of the best in the industry.

Improving stereo image
Hey everyone, I've been deep diving into stereo imaging after being humbled on my first pop/rock mix, and I've been through countless threads and articles to understand some feedback I received about panning guitars specifically lol. If anyone else wants to learn and improve on this concept, Mastering the Mix wrote an article on it that seems simple enough here https://www.masteringthemix.com/blogs/learn/guide-to-panning-and-stereo-width?srsltid=AfmBOopDMELahxJnH4PPdhcNhCeL2bIjUqrhqpmf72GIL4X1IcMYGYlV They'll sell you on their plugins in the middle but if you have a basic understanding of width, depth, and height, you can sculpt accordingly with what you already have. I remember someone awhile back made a poll about if you should mix a genre you don't produce and I still stick by my answer, which essentially was hell yea, why not. However, mixing what you produce obviously provides a better understanding of the elements at play versus being an avid listener. The most humbling, slap to the forehead experience for me lately was when my rock buddy told me about panning the layers of guitars L/R along with production stuff beyond my control. And my first reaction was like dude, what the fuck...they're panned L/R.....hahaha. Turns out....nah lol, total misunderstanding and I didn't create separation between layers. Anyway, I learned long ago, about panning according to sound stage which was so revolutionary to me at the time, it really helped me visualize and supported how I panned drums, and this became my approach in general which is probably why I made the mistake with the guitar layers. I hope everyone is learning, growing and choosing to persevere on their journey to better mixes!
