Mixing a Rare Old-School Session – No Overdubs, All Live in One Room

Описание: How do you mix a full-band performance recorded live in one room — with no overdubs, edits, or isolation?
In this video, I break down a rare old-school recording session featuring handpan, sitar, tabla, upright bass, and percussion — all captured live in a single take.
You’ll see how I approached the full process: from mic selection and musician placement to mixing strategies that preserve the natural dynamics, bleed, and performance feel — without relying on samples or fixes.

This mix walkthrough is for anyone working with acoustic instruments, live session recordings, or complex, real-world musical setups where vibe and clarity both matter.

🎛️ Mixing tools used: close and room mics, EQ, compression, FX returns, automation, and subtle mixbus shaping — all applied with no safety net.

📍 Shot and mixed at Tidalwave Studio — where real music meets real mixing.
