About this episode

Jaycen Joshua discusses the intricacies of mix engineering and what makes a record feel finished.

Jaycen Joshua—Grammy-winning mix engineer and the ear behind countless modern classics—sits with Tank & J. Valentine to break down what separates a “good mix” from a record that feels finished. From gain staging and low-end translation to vocal placement, depth, and loudness, Jaycen walks through his workflow, mix decision-making, and the habits that keep sessions moving at the highest level. This one is for artists, producers, engineers—and anyone who’s ever wondered why some records hit different. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
