Скачать или смотреть Mixing Synths & Guitars Without Losing Clarity | Inside The Mix

What does a true wall of sound feel like when the vocal still breathes? In this episode of Inside The Mix, Marc Matthews sits down with Jay Cali (‪@DRUMxWAVE‬) and ‪@brianskeel1320‬ to unpack the craft behind 'Severed' - big drums, widescreen synths, supportive guitars, and why clarity starts with a shared vision before a single plug-in loads.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
How Brian builds commanding vocals without harshness using Revoice, FabFilter DS, and Slate Digital tools
Pairing synths and guitars without losing clarity
Achieving loudness (around −7.8 LUFS) while keeping dynamics alive with Metric AB, soft clipping, and top-down mixing
The secret to width as a dynamic tool (intimate verses, explosive choruses)
How the “demon breakdown” came to life with Baby Audio Humanoid, Soothe 2, and MicroShift

If you’ve ever struggled to mix dense productions with guitars, synths, and vocals, this episode is packed with insights you can apply immediately.

👉 Try the challenge: take one of your current tracks and widen only the chorus vocal + low-pass your rhythm guitars. Hear the space return? That’s how loud and open can work together.
