In this episode of The Sound.Academy Podcast I spoke with Tom Frampton of Mastering the Mix. Tom is an experienced producer, mixing and mastering engineer, and plugin designer. He has mastered tracks for some of the biggest artists in the music industry, and his next-level plugins are used in studios all around the world.

Tom has built a career around helping producers get better-sounding mixes, so it should be no surprise that he's very familiar with the challenges producers face today.

In this episode, we discuss everything from time-management tips for busy producers, how to optimize your workflow in the studio, common mixing and mastering mistakes made by producers, and even his thoughts on the "loudness war".

Additionally, Tom gives us an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at his mixing and mastering workflow in the studio. He mixes and masters the stems of a track from scratch, showing you how he identifies problematic frequencies in the mix, how he measures loudness and so much more. 

This sneak peak at the workflow of a world-class engineer is definitely not something you want to miss.

Workflow Secrets, Mixing Mistakes, and Continual Learning with Tom Frampton

In this episode of The Sound.Academy Podcast we spoke with Zen World. Zen runs one of the largest music production channels on YouTube, teaching millions of producers each year. He also is the Founder of Evolution of Sound, and even teaches production at Symmetry Music Academy.

Zen does feedback streams with hundreds of music producers each week, so he's very familiar with the challenges faced by new producers. In this episode, Zen talks at length about the two biggest mixing mistakes he hears new producers make.

We also discuss how to create a balanced mix on any setup, how to use delay and reverb like a pro, what to have on your master channel when producing, and even how to approach learning music theory.

Zen also breaks down some of the new sounds he made as a part of Evolution of Sound's newest preset bank, Dirty Chicken. The pack is filled with unique and interesting tech-house sounds inspired by Dirtybird artists, and will definitely be a huge asset to any house producers using Sylenth1.
