Description: He’s finally here – our first episode with Jacen Joshua! This unique set of videos reveals the template and in-demand techniques used by an exceptionally talented mixer. Using the new ITB mixing session of Spanish artist Rosalia’s 2018 hypnotic single “Malamente”, Jacen shows you how he managed to create an all-digital mix that rivals his original console mix. He discusses and replays the original tracks and then demonstrates how he handled them using his innovative template and plugin settings. In addition to the technical aspect, Jacen talks about how his involvement with the project began, his collaboration with an artist and producer, his sonic expression through personal taste, optimizing transients and voltages for perceived loudness, mastering and much more. To make this show even more special, we introduced the legendary Dave Pensado, who asks Jacen some very pertinent questions about his approach!
