We are THRILLED to be hosting three unique masterclasses with Producer, Mixer and Studio Owner Al Groves.
These popular masterclasses are an incredible opportunity to learn all the tricks and techniques Al uses when making records with artists such as Bring Me The Horizon, STONE, The Sherlocks, Blanket and Shefu.
Join Al as he divulges everything from his psychology and mindset, his mixing techniques and how he mixes to achieve his and the artists’ vision.
Mixing – Friday 31st May 10am – 6pm
In this start to finish mix session, Al will remix a song from scratch on his SSL Duality console.
