Personal Note From Nic Z
Mixing metal can present many challenges due to the complexity and sheer amount of different sub genres.
It's no secret that metal is an underground landscape, that which has few resources available to the community. Metal stands apart from all the rest.
Metal Producer Overlord: Mixing Series is a no-nonsense approach to creating industry-standard mixes for metal.
Let's get to it!

Owner of Fermata Face Studios and pro audio engineer/producer/multi-instrumentalist for labels, artists, and bands all around the world.
What Musicians Say About Nic Z's Mixing Approach?
"Not going to lie, I like it a lot. I've been mixing and mastering my own music and other peoples music for past couple of years. However I never felt like I understood why I did certain things. I was just copying moves other people were doing on YouTube. But Nic Z’s workflow and explanations really compliment what I was already doing helping me solidify my understanding."
"The studio experience could not have been better. Nic was efficient and delivered great sounding mixes that were exactly what we asked for."
"My band recorded a demo here. We had a blast recording and are fully expecting to head back for a full length in the future."
"Not only does Nic get great tones/sounds but he knows how to encourage the best performance out of a player. He cares about the project he works on and it shows."
