Mastering Engineer Reacts to 8 Pro Mixes of the Same Song

September 18th, 2024 BY 

Have you ever wished you could hear how 8 different pro producers would mix the same song; find out how they did it; compare the results and apply what you've learned to your own music ?

Well, that's exactly what a recent article in August's issue of Sound On Sound magazine allows you to do !

Mark Mynett asked 8 different mix engineers to work on the same metal tune, interviewed them about how (and why) they did what they did, and analysed the results.

Not just any engineers, either - the project involved some massive names like Andrew Schepps, Jens Bogren and Fredrik Nordström.

And as soon as I heard the mixes, I thought to myself - "ah, but how would they sound after mastering ?!"

So in this video, I react to hearing all those mixes for the first time, as if I were about to master them myself - and some of the results may surprise you.

Take a listen and let me know what you think in the comments !

And make sure you also check out the original article in Sound On Sound:
