For the past few months I have been watching a WIP edit from a TV series I've been working on with a temp track playing behind a magnificent scene, and I finally asked the editors what the music was. Turns out it was this piece from the ill-fated Matrix revival, Matrix Resurrections.

I took it for a run through my ever-evolving orchestral template, this time focusing on the gain staging and EQ of each instrument before working on overall section balance. I'm finally looking at VU meters like I understand them, LOL ;-)

Seriously, though, I do feel like I learn something new every time I work on a new track. Don't underestimate the importance of gain staging, folks!
