David was kind enough to spend an hour on me with Zoom, breaking down his winning mix from the recent Fix the Mix challenge! Watch on YouTube to find out exactly how he achieved that huge drum sound - plus his general workflow, tips for processing guitars, reverb, and more. https://youtu.be/bS204r_SXrk?si=t5eh0g3ITi0P7rl8 Huge shoutout to @David Brancato for being so generous with his time. He also spent a lot of time giving feedback to members after the competition, so please comment below with a big thank you for David!

Got a request. Can you fix both the Masteringdotcom site & the Skool for Membership. The page where the tiers of the"Membership Program" are doesn't feature relevant information. I think you all are probably missing out on good money because even the $12 folks can't see the other tiers and what they get for their money and what they cost and this is not showing at either site. Doesn't matter if I am loged-in or out it is the same. Allan Rosenberg looked as well and came to the same conclusion. I need to see my options before December 3rd. I may not be able to pull off $200 for a years renewal all at once. Times are just what they are financially. That said the two sites do not show the membership tiers and prices. There is old data at both sites. I thought you had said that it was $12 /$20 & $50. There is nothing of the sort showing. Hard to believe that a year after the switch that that has not been updated. Please ask that they make repair as soon as possible. Have a good weekend.

I got to play this round. I did not have a lot of time today, but I squeezed it in. I had maybe about a four-hour window at the end of the day. Enjoy. https://drive.google.com/file/d/18p9Rq_51naY1q0DS5wNWK2cZRtR4ihKs/view?usp=sharing I'm updating the post because I've been asked more than once which drum sample library I used in this mix. The drums in my mix are the same tracks from the folder. I didn't replace the kit or layer in additional samples. There were no overheads in the folder, and no drum room mics, so I created a space for the drums artificially with some reverb. I'm happy to share techniques if you want to know!
