Today we’re joined once again by the incredible Sara Carter
Sara breaks down the beautiful BPMoore track, Transcend worked by Harald Hauser. Very often on the channel, we’re mixing full band productions but ,in this case, we are dealing with the lush strings and other orchestral elements where we can really focus on the musicality of the track as well the structure.
Mixing music like this really emphasises the texture and tonality of the instrumentation. There is more critical listening required than not.
