Adam - Just Another Mixtape
An album featuring 20 original tracks, composed by Adam Belleza in Sydney, Australia, and mixed and mastered by yours truly, is without a doubt the most significant and challenging project I’ve undertaken in my career so far. The scale and creative depth of the album pushed both my technical skills and artistic approach to new levels.
I adopted a hybrid mixing workflow for this project, working primarily in-the-box using Pro Tools. The mixing process relied on high-quality plugins, including the Plugin Alliance SSL Channel Strip, which played a key role in shaping the tone and dynamic balance of each track. Once the mixes were finalised digitally, the stereo mix was routed through analog hardware to add character and warmth. Specifically, I used a RHEA Vari-Mu compressor to enhance dynamic richness and NEVE 542 tape emulators for subtle saturation and harmonic depth.
For spatial and time-based effects, the legendary AMS RMX16 was used throughout the project, providing lush reverbs and delays that helped glue the mixes together and define the album's sonic identity.
The finished album is now available on Spotify, iTunes, and all other major music streaming platforms. I’m incredibly proud of the result and grateful to have been part of such a meaningful project.
