The Heavy Sound of the 90's: Mixing Salvador Dream
A Mixing Course by David Gnozzi

Step into the raw, heavy sonic world of the 90s with award-winning mix engineer David Gnozzi in this one-of-a-kind mixing course. “The Heavy Sound of the 90's: Mixing Salvador Dream” takes you behind the console as David revisits a real multitrack recording by the band Salvador Dream, captured on analog tape in the 90s and brought into 2025 through a hybrid mixing setup.

This is not a recreation — it’s the actual original recording, transferred from tape to Pro Tools and mixed with a powerful blend of analog outboard gear and modern plugins. David guides you step-by-step through the entire mix process, revealing the exact settings, plugin chains, and hardware units used to craft that unmistakable sound:

• Crushing drums that punch through the mix

• Growling, distorted bass with real weight

• Wall-of-sound guitars dripping with saturation

• Raw, emotional vocals that cut straight through

You’ll get deep insight into why each mix decision is made — not just the how — so you can apply the same mindset and techniques to your own productions. Whether you're a fan of 90s/00s rock and metal, or just want to learn how to create heavy, analog-style mixes in the modern DAW, this course is the real deal.
