Mixing a Hip-Hop Track From Start to Finish | Hybrid Workflow Tutorial

In this video, I’m taking you inside a brand new session to mix a hip-hop track from scratch. You'll see my entire process for mixing "Never Go Back" by Dure, featuring production by Kilavic.

I walk you through my hybrid mixing workflow in Studio One, using a combination of plugins and analog hardware (WesAudio, Bettermaker) to get a punchy, professional sound. We cover gain staging, vocal chains, mix bus processing, and using Ozone 12 for a quick master.

🎛️ In this video, I cover:

Setting up the session and gain staging.

Hybrid routing with hardware inserts.

Vocal processing (EQ, Compression, De-essing).

Creative automation for delays and ad-libs.

Finalizing the mix bus and loudness.
