Originally coined as a concept, Mixing With The Masters is now a specific, high-end video tutorial library founded by Grammy-winning engineer/producer Fab Dupont. Unlike the countless "in-the-box" tutorials on YouTube, MWTM takes you inside the world’s most famous studios (like Capitol Studios and Electric Lady) to watch chart-topping engineers deconstruct actual hit records.
The roster reads like a Grammy ballot: Andy Wallace (Nirvana, Foo Fighters), Chris Lord-Alge (Green Day, Muse), Tony Maserati (Beyoncé, Jason Mraz), Eric "Mixerman" Sarafin, and Jacquire King (Kings of Leon). mixing with the masters

Mixing with the Masters is an interactive learning environment where users step inside the actual session files of legendary songs. Unlike standard tutorials, this feature utilizes a "Ghost Mix" technology, allowing users to isolate specific processing chains used by famous engineers (like Chris Lord-Alge, Sylvia Massy, or Manny Marroquin) and compare them directly to their own attempts in real-time.
