I used this session as an exercise: I tried to make the song sounding as the original, even if the audio sources were very different. Not much to say except that i used a new technique for me: a multiband compressor on the "drum + bass" bus that really made me happy. I particularly like the eq on the voice too. Temporary dithered.

Bosnian Rainbows - Morning Sickness (Ivan G. Mix)

Linkin Park x Steve Aoki - A Light That Never Comes (Kevin Crash Remix) (Ivan G. Mastering)

I used this contest to test some tricks from Steven Slate (you can find them here: http://theproaudiofiles.com/steven-slate-mixing-tips/) and they really worked for me! The song is mixed in modern rock style in my opinion. Anything else! :)

Jackie Greene - Don't Let The Devil Take Your Mind (Ivan G. Mix and Mastering)

I tried to give to this song a pop sound, since it's very radio! So guitars are quite in volume and the overall tone is not too aggressive.

Emily Greene - New York City (Ivan G. Mix and Mastering)

For this one I didn't use much eq and compression; I just wanted it to sound very natural... I focused on the automations instead and on the reverbs, very important for this genre in my opinion.

Big Mean Sound Machine - Contraband (Ivan G. Mix)

This track was incredibly easy to master. https://soundcloud.com/madnb gave me a perfectly mixed piece of goa, so I didn't use much equalization, a little bit of compression and the job was already done. Check out this guy's Soundcloud, lot of great stuff!

VenomenaL - You Can't Stop US! (Ivan G. Mastering)

Put a lot of effort in this mix! I wanted it to sound full, loud but still dynamic and acoustic in some parts... Played a lot with reverbs in the chorus. Enjoy it and if you like it remember to follow Mu on SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/muofficial and me too :P

Mu - Too Bright (Ivan G. Mix and Mastering)

Took inspiration from artists like "Love & the Outcome" and "Britt Nicole" to mix this one, but still more acoustic. Hope you enjoy it!

Maranatha Church Chicago - Won't Stop Believin' (Ivan G. Mix and Mastering)

The goal was to achieve that modern rock sound, but with a heavier kick influenced by electronic music. I took inspiration from songs like "Not Listening" and "Blood Brothers" by Papa Roach. Hope you enjoy it!

ViFolly - Face Your Fear Or Die (Ivan G. Mix & Mastering)

Mixed by Ivan G. and temporary dithered. This track was not really simple to mix cause it was recorded live. Massive eq on drums, not many compressors to preserve the dynamics and vocal automations; ping pong delays on the refrain. "Country soul, with a bit of vintage, should be dynamic and stand out".
