Amazing weekend, it was a truly illuminating experience. I feel like I've had a glimpse of the "top of the mountain" and know what a record by top class musicians in a world-class facility and mixed by industry leaders sounds like (and very importantly, how it was done).

Listen, Learn and Connect
| On May 22 you have the chance to be in a real life pureMix.net tutorial. Experience what it's like to listen and work in an award winning studio with a Grammy winning mixing engineer. Join pureMix.net for a one day mixing masterclass with Grammy winning producer/engineer Fab Dupont at Flux Studios in New York City. 16 students will get to sit next to Fab, see him mix and and hear what he hears everyday. You will get an unedited look at how a pro handles the same challenges you faced when you mixed the same song. It is a unique chance to directly compare your mix decisions and workflow using stems you're already familiar with. | What's different about this masterclass is Fab won't just be walking you through a mix. In the morning session he'll review every student's best mix and offer the whole class suggestions on how to improve their mixes. Then in the afternoon he'll mix the Indaba mixing contest song "Face Your Fear or Die" by Vifolly from scratch while answering questions and pointing out tips and tricks as he mixes. (Don't worry if you missed the contest, the stems will be provided for you as soon as you confirm your seat) This one day masterclass is a rare opportunity to learn directly from Fab and fly home with more clarity and vision for your mixes. |

The Song - Face Your Fear or Die
| The song Fab will be mixing at the masterclass is a badass modern rock track by the metal band Vifolly "Face Your Fear or Die" "ViFolly's music is best described as dark, heavy, and brooding but with a sense of light at the end of the tunnel." "They have something for everybody, from dueling guitars to huge vocal harmonies and mysterious heavy guitar riffs" Fab co-produced the song and combined the tracks the band recorded themselves in Ohio with tracks he recorded at FLUX studios and then mixed it. "Face Your Fear or Die" is the band's latest single and they are currently working on their second album. |

I guarantee you will not be the same mixer or producer as you were before the masterclass.

I was impressed by Fab's ability to convey knowledge, point out the most sonically important things and focus on the music all at the same time!
