Jens Bogren (Fascination Street Studios) is known for his detailed, high-fidelity productions for acts like Opeth, Devin Townsend, and Haken. His mix of “Condemned to the Gallows” showcases his talent for handling intricate arrangements while preserving punch, dimension, and clarity. His work takes advantage of intense automation, parallel routing, and surgical EQ to unify wide cinematic vistas with crushing grooves and searing lead work.

This session is packed with challenges that will push experienced engineers. You’ll navigate polymetric drum parts with detailed overhead placement, clipped and stacked vocal layers with intense automation requirements, and guitars that shift sonically on a dime without ever losing coherence. Learn how Jens keeps simultaneous layers of piano, synthesizers, clean and distorted guitars, and textured ambience musically functional and notationally precise. Examine his tonal workflow on DI reamping, tight low-end management in dense mixes, and dynamic control without flattening the sometimes brutal but often melancholic movement of the track.
