The living legend, Daniel Bergstrand (Meshuggah, Devin Townsend, Soilwork), comes on board to talk his process, experimentation, and his passion for organization.
What can we really say about the influence Bergstrand has had on the industry that hasn’t already been said? He’s had a hand in some of the most well regarded heavy albums of the past couple decades. He absolutely killed it recently on Nail the Mix, and here he is sharing more secrets with us. There are some things about his approach to audio that are likely to surprise a lot of you.
“Every channel should sound good. You should be able to solo everything, and it should sound good. I don’t like covering things in the whole mix.” – Daniel Bergstrand

– Daniel’s very early start in audio
– The recording of Meshuggah’s Destroy Erase Improve
