Shawn Everett mixing drums for Kacey Musgraves | Sneak Peek

In this sneak peek, Shawn Everett deconstructs his approach to enhancing live drums using EQ, compression, distortion and more.

This 74-minute documentary takes you inside the mixing of ‘Slow Burn’ by Kacey Musgraves. Shawn begins with a look at his controversial ‘pre-mastering’ techniques. He then pulls back the curtain to reveal the mix techniques that brought this eclectic song to life. You will learn experimental approaches to multiband processing, binaural panning, reamping and more as Shawn enhances the tone and texture of each instrument.

That bus processing is adding all the vibe

Most importantly, the recordings themselves are amazing

[bharathj]

slow burn is one of the best acoustic guitar sounds I've heard!

[brentsmith]

Love how he's weirded out by some of his own choices.

PSP vintage warmer may be one of the greatest plugins of all time.

Hahaha some creep with a shaker comes sneaking behind you as you're listening to the song 😂 great stuff

[willudallmusic]

wow I had no idea these were the Slow Burn drums until the very end, and I love that track (who doesn't).

[stserge]

This dude looks like a Team America character - awesome

Question for anyone who’s listening: when you’re done mixing drums, are you then just printing the drum bus and the master track? Or are the original drum tracks on as well? I mute my originals when the mix is done, but maybe I shouldn’t be 🤔 Still learning

[dyonissiszoes]

But with the master bus it made sense! 🙂👌

[albanyrebelion]

how many master tracks this guy got lmao, what is going on

[icespittingfire]

"a lot of high end, i don't know what i was doing that day"... cocaine?

[Aeravela]

Sorry, but that Drum sound is actually weak.... sounds really cheap and fake.
