My Mix Angle: I am a mixer who likes to keep a mix simple and let the music do the talking. Balance and realism is such an important part of film score mixing that I rely on my ears to make the mix sing.
For Example:
At MixCon, I’m Focusing On the Cinematic Mix Because: Cinematic mixes are hard as most young composers are relying on samples, so then the questions of reverb, balance and session setup are forefront.
Sneak Preview: I am going to drill down into how to make a mix simple and how to make stems straight forward.
I Love Leading Audio Workshops Because…I like to break down barriers and show that rules can be broken.
