Kurt Ballou (Converge, Godcity Studios) teaching mixing fixes for audio engineers

Converge guitarist and Godcity Studios founder Kurt Ballou will crank out another CreativeLive audio production tutorial this Tuesday, November 24—this one is being called Fix it in the Mix. The premise will be to “explore organic approaches to recovering and enhancing the natural tones from original performances without replacing drums with samples and re-amping guitars.” Aspiring engineers, take note: you can livestream it free of charge from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. PST (12:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. EST). You can enroll to the broadcast now by RSVPing to the official class page, where you can also purchase anytime access.

“Obviously sample replacement of drums and re-amping of guitars can be effective ways to revive sub-par recordings, but they can also homogenize the uniqueness of the original tracks,” commented Ballou. “In this class, I'll explore organic approaches to turn your tracks from trashy to classy.”
