Hello URM members,

I'm Jacob Hansen, a producer and mix engineer from Denmark. You may be familiar with my work with bands such as Epica, Amaranthe, The Black Dahlia Murder, Volbeat, and Fleshgod Apocalypse.

In this Fast Track I'll be going over my approach to mixing orchestration in the context of metal. The key to this approach is in two simple things: starting with the right arrangement, and preserving as much of the orchestration's sonic character as possible (rather than aggressively high passing it as many people do).

Hello URM members-

I am Kohle, and some of the artists I've worked with during my 20 or so years in the industry include Powerwolf, Aborted, Crematory and Eskimo Callboy.

Most of the audio education out there focuses on the technical side of things (engineering, mixing, mastering, and so forth), but in this Fast Track I'm going to be talking about something just as important but rarely discussed: communication.

Greetings URM family and welcome to my Fast Track!

My name is Erik Ron and I'm a producer, engineer and mixer based in Los Angeles.

This Fast Track is how I've approached vocals for artists including Slaves, Dance Gavin Dance, Set It Off, Blessthefall and We Came As Romans, covering the entire process: how to prepare and set yourself up for a successful session; comping, editing, cleanup, tuning and a few vocal mixing tricks that I love.
