Handled by producer and mixer Scott Atkins (Grindstone Studios), who’s known for his work with Cradle Of Filth, Sylosis, and Amon Amarth, this session offers invaluable insight into how he pushes clarity and weight into the kind of production that easily descends into mud without the right treatment. Scott’s mix balances dense orchestral programming with dual guitars, multiple layers of vocals, and drums that stay tight and upfront even under heavy saturation. From routing decisions to track organization to modulation effects on the choir elements, this session demonstrates how to creatively enhance impact without sacrificing intelligibility.

You’ll face real-world challenges: high track counts, managing frequency overlap across dozens of instruments, maintaining pushing aggressiveness while leaving space for dynamics, and utilizing automation to breathe life into an otherwise wall-of-sound mix. This is a goldmine for producers interested in advanced extreme metal production techniques.
