Mixed by Will Putney, one of the most in-demand producers in the genre and the creative lead at Graphic Nature Audio, this session offers a chance to learn directly from the guy responsible for game-changing records from Fit For An Autopsy, Body Count, END, and Every Time I Die. Will’s mix on “Mistakes Like Fractures” balances a wall of distorted guitars and layered drum hits with surprising clarity and front-to-back energy. This is an opportunity to deep-dive into the mix strategies that give modern hardcore its surgical intensity without sacrificing its raw aggression.

You’ll be working with multitracks that feature aggressively edited drums, tectonic guitar tones, and dual-track vocal performances that need sculpting to sit right in the mix without overwhelming it. Key technical topics in this session include transient control, gain staging in high-density wall-of-sound guitars, vocal compression and distortion, width from doubled guitar tracks, and mixbus processing in arrangements with almost no headroom.

Download the multitracks for “Mistakes Like Fractures” and challenge yourself to build a mix that’s as surgical as it is feral. This is must-have hands-on practice for anyone wanting to master modern hardcore mixing.
