To start 2024 off with bang today I am interviewing Rock/Metal Producer Dennis Ward who boasts a prolific career as a Producer, Mixer. Bass Player, Singer and Composer.
Dennis is a mentor at our friends Academy the Kohle Audio Kult and has a great new course mixing Ex Ozzy Osbourne Guitarist Gus G’s band ‘Firewind’ who blend elements of traditional heavy metal and power metal.
Check out Dennis’ ‘Firewind’ Mixing course here:- https://www.kohleaudiokult.com/courses/the-firewind-mixing-ritual
The song Dennis breaks down, “Ode To Leonidas” is from the “IMMORTALS” album and is one of FIREWIND’s biggest hits. It’s an epic yet heavy Power Metal banger! There are 32 Lessons and 2.5 Hours of course. A fantastic course explained by one of the best Metal and Hard Rock Producers/Mixers in the business!

How do you think recording has changed from the '80s until now? Is it better or worse? Please let us know below! Check out Dennis' 'Firewind' Mixing course here:- https://www.kohleaudiokult.com/courses/the-firewind-mixing-ritual
Great video, very interesting conversation. Thank you Dennis and Warren.
What an awesome producer and epic course! m/
Awesome interview!!!
Great interview. Thanks very much
back then you didnt "fix it in post"… you baked some magic in. still need to
another great interview thank you to both 🙏🏼
Played with Vinnie Moore live, too. Love his bass tone in Unisonic ❤🫡
I always wondered which genres would be covered in the mixing courses, of course after purchase I see they cater to a WIDE variety. First video was an excellent tutorial on mixing one of the hardest trap based hip hop I've heard in a while with Mr Chobaz, just what I wanted, all the best to the other members, day 1 begins…
The fastest editor in the biz…
Hey! I was on High Gain Records with PC69! Great band!
Thanks so much for having me!
Dennis is by far, the most talented and versatile musican, songwriter, singer and producer you can ask for…..beside that he's also the most humble guy and funny as hell. Glad to know him, work with him for longer then 20 years……🔥
Tape forced us to listen more to each other, limited track count as well made that happen
The Course is fantastic! Thanks guys. KAK Rocks!
Musicians paying attention to each other, working around each others grooves is what I loved about the past. Listening. That's what it's all about
It's all in how you use the technology, not the technology itself. Dennis proves this by talking about how his older stuff sounds better to him when he had less tracks and musicians played together more in a room rather than just overdubbing and editing
Came back to this video because of the instagram post!
Loving everything Kohle Audio Kult
Awesome video!
Yeah Dennis 🤘🤘
I completely agree with what he's saying about modern music sounding so processed and plasticky, honestly it's a huge turn off for me for most modern music including rock. The whole "fix it in post" mentality irks me
I don’t know any of the bands he has been involved with.
Dennis is great – I joined some courses he held at HOFA, a few years ago I recommended their plugins to you, you may check them
