Mixed by Joey Sturgis, known for his work with Asking Alexandria, The Devil Wears Prada, and Of Mice & Men, this session is a masterclass in managing dense multi-layered arrangements while preserving attack, definition, and lift. Joey’s approach combines raw aggression with surgical attention to clarity and glue, and this track specifically tests the limits of low-end control, stereo imaging, and blend management. The production has massive stacked clean vocals riding above distorted scream layers and extremely tight drum editing that demands careful dynamic shaping and phase-aware balance work. Guitars are wide and dense but still leave space for synths and group FX risers, requiring precise multi-band shaping, stereo field manipulation, and peek-a-boo automation to slot everything into place.

From transient processing on the kick to parallel saturation on guitars, this session gives you a detailed blueprint for creating impact and clarity in high-density mixes.
