- Coma Ecliptic, Automata I and II by BTBAM - The Mountain by Haken - Ghost Reveries by Opeth - The Fall of Hearts by Katatonia All favorites of mine and all mixed by Jens. What a genius. Brilliant work!
Ghost Reveries sounds way too compressed and clinical. Killed the whole vibe of Opeth. Jens also did Borknagar's True North, which sounds terrible. He did a way better job on Winter Thrice.
Used to play with these guys in NC back in the day!! Played one of their first shows at Ziggys in Winston Salem when I younger. If I remember correctly the guitarist was playing an Ampeg head and it blew me away!!! The first band they were in, Prayer For Cleansing, was epic and so influential in that area.
Oooooooh yes that would be me, haha. I'm so honoured he mentions me with this trick (he also did on his awesome Opeth episode). Jens is so awesome, I'd like to hate him for having the professional life I want to have and working with all my favorite bands, but I can't, he totally deserves the success!
@@gideonhansen5485 Because he didn't get the tones for THIS album. That's why it doesn't make sense. The entire point of NTM is to highlight the specific mix and its mixer.
BTBAM writes incredible music, but they have never had good guitar tone or great mixes. They've always had this dirty, unpolished prog rock aesthetic that is pretty far away from modern metal production.

Thanks, Manuel!
Have you checked out Ne Obliviscaris? Based on your tastes it seems as though you’d like them! Jens also mixed their first two albums :)
@@jwcorcoran9838 heard of them but I gotta check them out for sure!!

@@ItsNotaTuhmah Jens has gone on to say Ghost Reveries was not his favorite work. Too many compromises.
That's why Watershed is far more his standard.
Listened to what feels like dozens of jens bogren albums over the years but this is the first time I’ve ever heard him speak

I often sidechain multiband compressors but haven't thought about doing so with toms & rhythm guitars. Genius.
Andy Sneap's multiband trick! He taught it to a load of us back in the day. :)
Hell yeah! I still use it to this day.
Great stuff!
I love Jens’ work, absolutely brilliant 👊
My favorite band. So awesome live. 🤘🏾
I see BTBAM, I click and like. ❤❤
i love these nail the mix videos. i kind of wish there was something like this for indie music.
Great!
fuck that's such a great tone
Interesting bringing air back into the guitar tone w/ fab filter
Brett Caldas-Lima is the Brett Jens is talking about :)

Jens.
god this is brilliant. i would love to see him break down his mix and master of something from the last caligula’s horse album !!!!
“French Bread that is”
Anyone know the song for that teaser clip
operation kickass Millions off of Automata I
Dude has a fucking ear that's for sure
C6 opens up with the floating bands at 1dB of gain. Not happy about this lol
how to process this guitar tone: don't, apparently. the source tone was great. didn't need much. maybe a notch between 6-800.
Finn :)
Geeetar
Should have had Jamie King show us what he did, considering he’s the one who produces their albums.
Jens mentions that he got the guitar tone using DI's that were provided; So in this case it makes sense for him to be discussing the guitar tone.
Tyler Goodwin Yeah I got that. Would have just been a good opportunity for Jamie to show us how he gets their tones. From the horses mouth.
@@gideonhansen5485 That doesn't make any sense to me personally. It only would if Jamie got the guitar tone for this recording.
Well considering Jamie recorded all of their albums, but one, I don’t see why it doesn’t make sense to source the actual producer.

I'm gonna say.... Brett Caldas Lima?
Yep

Unnecessary, show SEPTICFLESH.
@punkrockmba or whatever should legit be left out of any video showcasing talent. Homeboy said Emmure and Meshuggah were the same lmao
Great info but this is why not everyone is meant to be a RUclipsr. This guy was so boring to watch.
