Gobos can affect mic sound. To kill a wall reflection, place the gobo there, or even place 2 gobos there. If you want to be close to the singer place the gob...

Hear Spectral Balance, place Dimension, protect Physical Integrity—then mix with intent.
This is part of what I train engineers & musicians to hear in my masterclasses.

Check out this wonderful piano — for which I was responsible for the recording and mixing.
I took a completely new approach to how I recorded and mixed it.

When you record a sampling instrument the same way you would a “normal” piano performance, you miss a crucial difference:
In a live performance, all the hammers hit the strings, the sound blends naturally in the air, and you capture it all at once with your microphones.

But in sampling, every key is (obviously) recorded separately and later mixed electronically inside the sampler. This means that natural resonances and unique wolf tones every instrument has will accumulate when multiple mid-range notes are played together. This build-up leads to the typical mid-bump you hear in almost every sampled piano.

Not here.

I recorded and mixed this piano entirely differently: first fully analog on the legendary CADAC console, using high-end outboard gear like the Fairman Tube Master EQ and the Unfairchild compressor. I even captured premium hardware reverbs (Lexicon 960 and Bricasti) for every single note. Later, each note was further shaped and refined in the digital domain.

And that’s just the beginning.
I truly believe this instrument feels alive.

I know… it’s been a while since my last post 😅
But now I’m back with something really important for anyone mixing music! 🎛️🎶

THE PERFECT MIX BUS? THAT'S A MYTH!
Too many engineers copy other people’s plugin chains expecting instant magic – and it almost never works.
In my new video, I show you why your mix bus should always be built from scratch for each song, and how to choose the right plugins for your mix.
