Anton Delost mixes "Common Sense" by State Champs

This session explores the technical hurdles of balancing dense instrumentation without sacrificing transient clarity. You will see how Delost manages the massive vocal stacks and intricate harmonies that define the State Champs sound. The drum production is equally complex, requiring a surgical approach to phase alignment and sample reinforcement to ensure the shells cut through the wall of rhythm guitars. Producers will learn how to use saturation and parallel compression to create depth and movement in a genre that often struggles with dynamic range.

Delost breaks down his signal chains and routing architecture, showing you how to achieve that elusive polished low end while keeping the midrange aggressive and focused. This is not about simple level balancing. It is about advanced frequency carving and sidechain strategies that make the kick and bass lock together perfectly. If you want to understand how to make a mix sound expensive while keeping the raw energy of a live band, this session is mandatory.
