Mr Twin Sister - Meet The Frownies

This project was one of the most technically demanding and rewarding I’ve worked on, and I handled both the mixing and mastering. The goal was to preserve the intimate, nostalgic character of the song while enhancing clarity, balance, and emotional impact through a hybrid workflow that pushed both my technical skills and creative choices.

The track was mixed in Pro Tools, allowing for detailed editing, automation, and tonal shaping, with plugins from Universal Audio, Soundtoys, and Plugin Alliance used to achieve punch, depth, and cohesion. Once finalised in-the-box, the stereo mix was routed through analog hardware, including a RHEA Vari-Mu compressor and NEVE 542 tape emulators, to add warmth and harmonic richness. Spatial effects were crafted using the AMS RMX16 to create depth and movement that support the song’s emotional flow, resulting in a polished yet expressive final master.
