MIXING AND MASTERING WITH JAZ KUYPER V.1
Meet your teacher: World renowned producer and sound engineer Jaz Kuyper has racked up credits working with the likes of Major Lazer, Sofi Tukker, Bruno Martini, Armin van Buuren, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, Nicky Romero, Cat Dealers, and international brands among the likes of Tomorrowland, JBL, Body Engineers, and many more.
The Tutorial: This is a mixing and mastering tutorial for producers who are looking to squeeze out the final 10-20% out of their mix and bring their songs to life. If you are reaching for top level balance and sonic fidelity in your mixes, we are talking to you.
Jaz sits down with the 789ten team in the legendary Wisseloord Studios in the Netherlands to mix and master his latest production Stand In The Front, a powerful hip hop track with prominent Atlanta based songwriter & artist RAX REBL.
The years of Jaz’s professional mixing experience, combined with a room built to the highest level of acoustic standards, allowed Jaz to demonstrate the subtlest nuance of the mix and highlight the issues between elements in the mix that would often go unnoticed.
The result: a learning experience that will serve as a high level reference point for your mixes.
Your attention will be drawn to the details… the small details that add up to make a very big difference over the course of an entire mix.
As you move forward with your musical pursuits, you may find that the pros are using the same tools as everyone else for the most part. Even the techniques are similar… in theory. The value that a video such as this brings to the table is being able to watch somebody do it live and make those decisions in real time. Nearly everyone in the game knows how to using EQ in theory, but how the tool is used and what frequencies are being manipulated is what makes the difference.
After 1 hour and 15 minutes of uninterrupted mixing in Logic, Jaz switches over to Universal Audio’s brand new DAW, Luna, to provide a detailed stem-master for the second chapter of this engineering demonstration.
