Promix Academy founder & producer/engineer Warren Huart (Ace Frehley, Korn, Aerosmith) has teamed up with esteemed producer Ulrich Wild (Brendon Small/ Dethklok, White Zombie, Deftones) to release a new Promix Academy mixing course detailing Wildās recent work on Brendon Smallās Galaktikon. This video released on promixacademy.com takes you inside Wildās studio where he gives an in-depth discussion of the Galaktikon track āTritonā breaking down the instruments while including anecdotes from the recording and production of the album. One quote from the course is āOne of the most important things in mixing Is to keep the interest of the listener.. if the song doesnāt grab you in the beginning youāre kind of done with it. So itās important to keep the interest.ā

This educational mixing course is also chock full of insider stories and recording/production insights such as isolating the bass parts of Bryan Beller and drums of Gene Hoglan through Pro-Tools on āTriton.ā Wild also explains how they achieved the sound on the track.

Wild and Brendon Small have been working together since Dethklokās debut album The Dethalbum in 2007 and has worked on all of Smallās albums since. On working with Small, Wild said āMaking records with Brendon Small is always entertaining, since he is not only an amazing musician, but also a comedian. Heās a extremely talented, and his approach to songwriting is very orchestral. With this many tracks it can get tedious to get everything sounding tight and precise, especially the brutally fast songs. But the main challenge is finding space in the mix for all the tracks. Making it all fit together like a puzzle is often challenging, but ultimately very satisfying.ā
Wild stated the importance of the course as āNow more than ever itās important to share our knowledge with each other. I started as a runner in a recording studio and worked my way up to engineering and producing. These opportunities a rare now, and learning on the job is much harder to do. Warren fills that void. With his Produce Like A Pro channel we can look over each otherās shoulders and gain valuable insight. That holds true not only for novices, but also old dogs like me. He visits a lot of top notch producers and engineers, and Iām honored he asked me to do this Galaktikon course for Pro Mix Academy.ā View an excerpt from the video at Produce Like A Pro and find the purchase link to the full video course including access to the multitrack sessions from the album here: https://pmaproducts.net/mixing-metal-with-ulrich-wild/
