Filmed across two sold-out Summits in London and Barcelona, this Mix with the Masters special will take you through some of Jaycen’s best moments. You will learn his disciplined approach to gain-staging, sidechain compression and harmonic excitement – all techniques that enable him to craft mixes that are detailed, dynamic and loud all at once.
Later on, Jaycen calls up his close friend and mentor, Dave Pensado, to help answer the audience’s technical and philosophical questions. Together they reveal the tools that give them a competitive edge in the industry, and they offer wisdom on how to find your own sound and carve your own path to the top.
This summit was filmed at Abbey Road Studios 2 and proudly supported by Audiomovers.

TRANSCRIPT
I got fired twice from the same record, which has to be some sort of record.
I did this record with Jay Joyce on a band called Little Big Town. They had a really big hit on that record called Pontoon and it blew up and all of a sudden Little Big Town was back on the map and we were all riding high and it was like crazy. And it’s like, cool, well now it’s time to do the next record.
So I was supposed to track it but they had been in with Jay doing pre production at his studio and by the time I got there, They were already into the recording process. It’s like, it’s already working, people are comfortable, the music’s flowing, we don’t need you for tracking, we’ll just come back on the mix.
I screwed up the mix by, I was in the middle of like, moving my studio around and rejiggering it, and I just didn’t do it right. I wasn’t paying enough attention, I don’t know, I f’d it up, mea culpa, right? And they were just like, this isn’t working for us, this isn’t the direction we want to go. And so I was like, you know, what can you do?
The day after that happened, I got a call. It was like, hey man, this is Kenny Chesney. Eric Church gave me your number, I’m wondering if you’d be interested in mixing my new record. That’s turned into a collaboration with Kenny that we’re on like record five or six right now. So, 24 hours of hyperventilation, actually that time worked out.
