Brad Smalling

Multi-Platinum Engineer

Stereo and immersive mixing and mastering. No gimmicks. Just the music.

THE APPROACH

Immersive mixes are only worth doing if they hold up.Every mix here is built in a calibrated 7.1.4 room and checked in binaural before it leaves, because most people will hear it on headphones. Objects and beds get used where each one actually serves the mix, not by formula.The format gives you room the stereo mix didn't have. Sometimes that means separating layers that were fighting each other. Sometimes it means letting a sparse arrangement breathe. The record tells you which.
