My Inside Track article in the January 2014 issue of Sound On Sound magazine features engineer and mixer Chris Godbey giving details of the recording and mix of Justin Timberlake’s The 20/20 Experience, Vol 1, 2013’s best-selling album. The article is also published in the main German and Japanese music technology magazines, by a curious coincidence both called Sound & Recording.
Below an additional photo of Chris Godbey, as well as full-size screen shots of the sessions for the two hits from the album, “Mirrors” and “Suit & Tie,” which the magazines didn’t have space to publish. You can also download all the screen shots as a zip file, so you can inspect them in detail at your convenience.

This would’ve been so much better with actual audio clips as examples. Kind of cool seeing screenshots of the project file, but it doesn’t *really* teach anything? Just shows how complex it is, without explanation.
Please where can I study audio engineering/ production like this great Chris Godbey? – a verified institue that supports online learning. Thank you Paul
Hi Abara, I don’t know much about online courses, so your Google search is as good as mine. But I know that there are a number of web sites that offer DAW-specific online courses, for example http://www.pro-tools-expert.com. There obviously is also an enormous amount of free stuff available online, like videos, articles, and tutotials. The Sound on Sound web site is a great place to start, and also check out all episodes of Pensado’s Place. Good luck!
