We’ll also be looking at some slightly crazy 808 processing to make the mix even tighter in the low end.

In this video, I’m actually using a reference track of a previous master because I’m looking to BEAT my previous mix of the song so that you can clearly hear the improvements we’ve made in the entire step by step mixing series.
