Join the legendary rock engineer Andy Wallace at Platinum Sound recording studios in New York City! On a SSL 9000 K Series console, Wallace transforms the Pro Tools session of 'Natural Born Killer' by metal band Avenged Sevenfold into a thundering analog mix.

He explains his every decision, and also elaborates on monitoring, aesthetic vision, gain-staging, and general workflow.
