Listen Later

What if the secret to standout mixes was doing less, not more? In this episode, Ben and Carl dive deep into the art of minimalism in audio engineering. Discover how applying minimalist principles, from streamlined plugin chains to intentional gear choices, can elevate your sound and simplify your workflow. Learn why sometimes the biggest results come from stripping away the excess.

Topics we discuss:
  • The surprising power of constraint and how it fuels creativity
  • Why some hits sound massive despite having fewer elements
  • Practical tips to achieve clearer, bigger mixes using less processing
  • How to build a lean, mean studio setup that empowers your best work
  • The game-changing mindset shift that sets pro engineers apart
