Mixed by Sam Guaiana, known for his work with heavy, detail-rich artists like Silverstein and Like Pacific, this session offers key insight into building dynamic, textured metal mixes where guitars and rhythm sections are competing for sonic dominance at every turn. Working from tightly performed but harmonically complex multitracks, Sam dials in strategically carved EQ moves, creative bus compression on the guitar layers, and an articulate approach to transient control that keeps groove intact while keeping melodies front and center.

What makes “neurogenesis” such a technical deep dive is how each choice affects articulation and space. There’s layered arpeggiation, syncopated low-end patterns, and an air-tight drum arrangement that demands full-range clarity without sacrificing impact. Learn how to work surgical parallel compression into layered guitars, how to shape tone without killing headroom, and how to create three-dimensional stereo depth with limited room mic material and no vocals to lean on.

Download the multitracks and step inside one of the most dialed-in modern metal instrumental productions out there. If you want to tighten your low-end, handle thick mid-heavy guitars, and learn how to shape dynamics in a dense arrangement, this is the session.
