The series begins with a deep dive into David’s preparation process. He shares his approach to file management and session setup, along with practical tips for communicating effectively with artists, producers, and label executives — essential soft skills in today’s collaborative music landscape.

From there, David puts theory into practice, demonstrating how to craft a compelling mix without access to individual stems or multitracks. Working only with grouped audio tracks, he uses multiband compression, saturation, and stereo imaging to rebalance the instrumentation and create a powerful, cohesive mix. These advanced mix techniques help him highlight key melodies and bring greater energy and depth to the final production.
