XXXTENTACION’s engineer used MV2 to bring the quieter details forward with upward compression, helping the vocal feel more upfront and consistent without just crushing it harder. #xxxtentacion #vocalmixing #mv2 #wavesplugins #musicproduction

Justin Bieber’s engineer Josh Gudwin cleans up the aggressive parts of a vocal before adding air. I recreated the approach using Logic stock plugins. Which one sounds better? #justinbieber #vocalmixing #mixingtips #audioengineering #logicpro

Doja Cat’s mixer found a clever way to make her vocal cut through without actually turning it up. I recreated the Say So technique in Logic. Which one sounds better? #dojacat #vocalmixing #audioengineering

Billie Eilish’s mixer used a 1073 on the bad guy vocal mainly for colour — not big EQ moves. So I tried the same idea in Logic. Bypassed or engaged?

Found an old voice memo I'd completely forgotten about. Dropped it into @suno to explore the idea, then brought the stems into my DAW to keep building it. #suno

Most people today aren’t even using traditional limiters anymore. We’re using maximizers. So why are so many producers still stacking clippers before them? 👇 #audioengineer #mixingengineer #masteringengineer #mastering #masteringaudio

How many clippers do you actually need in a mastering chain? A lot fewer than the internet would have you believe. More clipping ≠ better mastering.
