Edmeston, NY — July 20, 2016 — Mixing engineer Michael James demonstrates how to enhance a track by using the ‘X-Former’ knob on Dangerous Music’s 2-BUS+ analog summing mixer. Hear how it sounds on the pop music track “Live the Dream” by Danielle Lopresti. The X-Former processor “tightens up the low end and adds sheen and sparkle, a different type of harmonic content,” says James in the video.ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
