One of the most aggressive and intricate productions on Spiritbox’s *Eternal Blue*, “Circle With Me” is a masterclass in contrast, seamlessly blending ethereal textures with punishing modern metal. This Nail The Mix session features Dan Braunstein, the producer and mixer behind the song’s polished volatility, bringing his signature attention to depth, width, and distortion-driven energy to the forefront. Whether you’re into post-metalcore or progressive production, this session hits hard across both aesthetics and technique.
Braunstein (Point North Studios) has worked with acts like Silent Planet and Volumes, building a reputation around surgically detailed editing, vocal layering that pushes genre norms, and crushing low-end. His work on “Circle With Me” showcases his talent for placing hyper-complex instrumentation in a 3D mix space without clutter or compromise. From combining pitch-shifted screams with tightly comped clean vocals to keeping grooving low-tuned guitars and live drums intelligible beneath thick synths and FX layers, this track is a deep exploration of modern tonal sculpting.
Expect to break down production workflows with multiple vocal scenes, intricate transitional automation, aggressive drum editing and timing, and distortion sculpting that maintains headroom without compromise. The multitracks include raw guitar, bass DI, acoustic drum tracks, programmed synth design, and bus prints that show Braunstein’s finishing moves.
Download the multitracks and get inside a production that bridges beauty and brutality with meticulous precision. This is your chance to dissect one of *Eternal Blue*’s standout tracks from the ground up and apply advanced hybrid mixing techniques to your own work.
