Tune in to this episode for some excellent mixing advice from Daniel Robert Ford; as we deconstruct his mix of “I Like the Sound of That” by the band, Autopilot. You will learn how Daniel approaches a mix, and you will get an in-depth glimpse into these methods of session routing, organization, and how and why he uses his own custom plug-in presets. The episode includes an in-depth analysis of the mix, from the bottom up, starting with drums and bass, and moving on up to vocals. You will hear how and why he chose the plug-ins that he used to craft the sound; Daniel explains how he dealt with specific issues that arose along the way. The entire episode is structured using notes written during the mixing process, offering exceptional insight that you might not usually get during a standard mix deconstruction. It is a fantastic seminar, so do not miss it!

Good mixes result from efficient musical arrangements, well-recorded tracks, and tight musical performances. The track in this tutorial was recorded at Signature Sound in Studio A by top recording engineer Christian Cummings. You will enjoy working on a very well-recorded song produced in a high-end recording environment.
