Grammy Award Winning Engineer, Mixer, and Producer, Mick Guzauski, has made a name for himself as one of the top mixing engineers in the world. With over 27 #1 singles, few have risen to the heights of success that Mick has.
In this pureMix.net Exclusive, Mick opens his mix of Jamiroquai's song "Vitamin" to explain his thought process, workflow, and techniques that he used to create this incredibly tight, punchy and exciting mix that manages to have a ton of space without ever losing the impact of the tight performances.
Learn how Mick:
- Enhances low end on kick drums
- Creates a crisp and tight high hat sound with a stereo spread
- Adds space around elements of the mix with carefully chosen and tuned reverbs
- Adds compression without character to subtly control and already great sounding lead vocal
- How he sets up session routing to quickly create stems when requested
- Tweaks his stereo bus EQ to create a tight low end while still controlling subsonic energy

I'd love my mixes to be this minimal... Sadly, what my clients hand over to me are completely unusable unless they are processed to death. Top notch performance captured with great recording skills and boutique microphones are just not available for engineers like me :(

That was really clear and concise. I love his minimalistic approach to mixing – fixing at first and keeping everything simple. Thanks Mick!

Very good one, very interesting.
I have to mention that (even the mixes of Mick always have been very good) with many things I've seen from Mick I couldn't really catch it (has nothing to do with the quality of his results, that stand for them selfs, but I just couldn't kind of adapt something of his expertise in my work till now).
But with this he ave me some very useful sights of dealing with topend and space (which he mastered to have warmth/smoothiness in his sound I like and also pretty much space, openess an clarity at the same time, if this somehow makes sense to describe).

I love Mick! VERY envious that he gets to mix music recorded this well. I guess that's why I prefer mixing stuff I've recorded. Was recently sent an EP from a local band who recorded at a local studio that people just love. It's AWFUL. Clearly a crappy old house reel. Clipping all over the place, bad ground hum 1kHz test tone audible on all the drum and bass tracks, terrible guitar tones all around.
It's nice to be reminded that there are still folks out there recording this well!
