Mike Fraser - Record producer and mixing engineer

Three unique video features with one of the World's greatest engineers

Mike Fraser started his career at Vancouver’s infamous recording studio “Little Mountain Sound”. “Fraze’s” discography speaks for itself - Aerosmith, AC/DC, Rush and others have used Mike’s engineering and predominately mixing skills album after album.

Recent projects include AC/DC's new smash hit album, Black Ice. From metal to pop to country, Fraze’s mixes are legendary and his work tops the charts year after year. A full discography is further down the page. The video here was recorded about two years ago at the superb Warehouse Studios in Vancouver. We recorded a later interview with Fraze while he stopped by in London covering the recording and mixing of AC/DC's new album so click here to watch that.

We are delighted to present this unique record producer video feature with Mike Fraser shot at Warehouse Studios, Canada.

Watch the latest Mike Fraser video recorded at Sphere Studios in November 2008 - Mike talks about the recording of AC/DC's latest album, Black Ice. Mike also talks in depth about his mixing techniques. A follow up video covering Mike's drum recording tips is here.

Special thanks to Mimi Northcott of Canadian Recording Services for helping make this feature possible and special thanks to all involved with the production and to Mike Fraser for giving up his valuble time to do the in depth interview!
