This is a live mix that was done with the band’s manager standing right behind me while I ran the mixing board. I quickly realized how dynamic the track was, so I closely adjusted the mix in real-time to always maintain a proper balance, fading in and out as the instrumentation shifted over time. My work paid off when their manager emphatically commended me on my ability to make the mix flow with the band, always accentuating the most exciting elements of the performance.
