Mixed by Carl Bown (Trivium, While She Sleeps, Fightstar), this session breaks down how dense modern metal tracks are balanced in a more accessible musical framework while retaining intensity. Bown’s mix is clean without sounding sterile, with heavily processed but emotionally powerful vocals, massive chorus dynamics, and a highly refined guitar and rhythm section built for impact on streaming and radio formats. The arrangement demands surgical precision to manage low-end clarity with layered guitars, synth pads, and extensive vocal doubles and harmonies competing for space.

This session gives you full access to the multitracks, including multi-layered vocals with aggressive tuning and automation, hyper-tight drums, and intricately edited guitars that blend rhythmic drive with tonal complexity. Particularly valuable for mixers interested in mastering the balance between heavy low-mids and modern sheen, the session also covers mid-side strategies, transient shaping, vocal saturation techniques, and loudness via both analog-modelled buses and parallel effects.
