Want to skyrocket your mixing and production skills?
Then learning from seasoned professionals first hand is your best bet. Drawing from their experience and adopting their techniques will allow you skip years of trial and error and put your audio career on a fasttrack.
Today, you have the chance to discover the secrets of one of the most brilliant minds in music: 4x Grammy-Winning Producer Dave Way.
And mix TWO sets of multitracks featuring the world’s best musicians along the way!
Dave Way’s credit list makes you feel like he’s had a hand in every great record ever made:
His catalogue ranges from Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston, to the Foo Fighters, P!nk, Christina Aguilera, Norah Jones, all the way to Prince, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, and Boys II Men. The list goes on.
In this course, Dave invites you to his studio, and breaks down two songs off of Grammy-Nominee Louise Goffin’s latest album ‘Two Different Movies’.
- Oh my god
- It started a long time ago
The musicians featured on these songs are every producer’s dream:
We’ve got Charly Drayton (The Rolling Stones, Herbie Hancock, Miley Davis) on drums, Sean Hurley (John Mayer, Robin Thicke, Alicia Keys) on bass, Mark Goldberg (Jackson Browne, Linda Rondstat, Ringo Starr) on guitar and Greg Leisz (Allison Krauss, Bruce Springsteen, Eric Clapton) on Pedal Steel.
In addition, ‘Oh my god’ features a full orchestra section, arranged by the legendary Van Dyke Parks (The Beach Boys, U2, Bruce Spingsteen)!
Dave walks you through the production process of the album, discusses micing techniques and arrangement, and gives you a detailed breakdown of the mixing techniques he used on both songs.
As the icing on the cake, we’ve also captured the orchestra recording session, as well as exclusive interviews with Dave and Louise, and the man Van Dyke Parks himself!
Does that sound exciting? You haven’t even heard the best part!
You can download the multitracks of both songs and mix them yourself!
You also have permission to use your own mixes of both songs on your portfolio to attract new clients to your studio!
Imagine the look on your friends and potential clients faces when they hear these mixes!
Mix To Serve The Song
One aspect which Dave emphasizes strongly, is that the mix is meant to serve the song.
What does he mean by that?
We are not only mixing to achieve a great sound. We are mixing to evoke emotions in our listeners and complement the feel and lyrics of the song with every move.
That’s exactly what you’ll learn in this course.
You’ll discover a process that facilitates fast and creative mixing, and allows you to keep the big picture in mind at all times.
Take Your Listeners On a Musical Journey
If you want to create songs that stand the test of time, it’s crucial to catch your listeners attention with the first note and keep them interested throughout the whole song.
This is a multi-facetted process, which stretches from songwriting and production all the way to the mixing process!
Dave discusses arrangement and editing decisions he made in order to achieve an intriguing interplay between vocals, strings and the rhythm section.
But it doesn’t stop there!
You’ll learn how to use automation to emphasize fascinating details in performances, create ear-candy and achieve tension and excitement in your mix.
By applying these concepts to your own productions, you will be able to take your listeners on a musical journey they will never forget.
Create A Captivating Vocal Sound
If you want your song to be successful, achieving a captivating vocal sound is key. Especially in the singer-songwriter genre!
In this course, Dave shows you the mixing techniques you need to achieve a present and lush, yet intimate vocal sound reminiscent of John Lennon.
Achieve A Spacious Drum Sound In A Small Room
We all know that drums provide the rhythmic backbone for the song.
However, they are so much more than that.
They are vital for creating a virtual soundstage and contribute a lot to the atmosphere of your mix.
Dave reveals a unique processing chain, which will allow you to transform small-room drum recordings into a massive, 3-dimensional force, which sets the stage for all of the other instruments.
Achieve A Full & Smooth Sound Using Plugins
Having had his break in the early 90s, Dave is used to recording to tape, mixing on large format consoles, and having the vintage gear of world-class studios at his disposal.
A dream!
However, as technology evolved, Dave embraced the digital domain. Moving to a hybrid setup at first, he now doesn’t use any outboard gear in his mixes.
During his transition period, he discovered ways to replicate the smooth and dense analogue sound we all know and love in the box.
In this course, he shares these techniques with you.
Discover how to achieve the sound of your favourite records using plugins.
