Masterclass: Mixing Rock Drums with Mike Major

Mike Major is an engineer and mixer who has worked with acclaimed indie and alternative rock artists like At The Drive-In, Coheed and Cambria, As Tall As Lions and many more. In this MixCon masterclass, he cracks open a real mix from the band Madus to show us his approach to mixing drums, from time and phase-aligning elements of the kit to working with EQ, compression and effects. Thanks to Steinberg, makers of Cubase and Nuendo for helping to make this free to the public. Check them out at Steinberg.net And thanks to Madus for allowing us to take a closer look at this track.
