All That Jazz Big Band
The challenge here was immense: to channel the power of sixteen musicians into a single, cohesive, and explosive sound. It required a system-level view to manage the complexity and unleash the ensemble's vibrant energy.
Creative Approach
The mix was structured sectionally. I used the warm response of MD-421s to give the brass section its weight and authority, while spot-miking soloists to ensure they could soar above the dense harmonic landscape. Every channel was meticulously gain-staged and filtered on the M32 to create a clean, powerful, and unified sound that was bigger than the sum of its parts.
