Andrew Scheps on Mixing 100% in the Box

I only use some analogue gear for the recording process, for mixing, it's only in the box for me

Did you put some dist on his voice? haha he sounds kinda mixed

What Im wondering is how often the audio these guys receive to mix is tracked first through awesome analog gear....Sincerily asking when us little people are working to get that pro sound but not knowing the whole process involved and whether it's completely in the box or has kissed some analog gear along the way. I love that Kaleo album sound

this man is audio engineers tressure! protect him at all costs!

what monitors are those

Till waves, does some minor over sampling, and at least 4 core, analog sampling, they will always sound cheaper than AA, UAD or PA, but the API Bundle is s Gem..........

The Waves 560 EQ, API 2500 the CLA Compressors , SSL E Strip and G Comp for drums and baselines hands down is their Best Plugin.....along with RVox...., Base Rider, and Vocal Rider..........these 10 plugins.....are really what Waves should be soley focused on improving, they would sale more of those as a $200 Package....but...they have to improve the Sonic Quality of all 10 of them

in my opinion...that would catch waves up with
Acustica Audio
UAD and Plugin Alliance

thank you bro thank you

merci beaucoup a toi :))

Really nice and helpful... Thanks!

For once, the software is actually really useful

works gj

hahsdhahah good

Wow

GOD!!!My broo

Woah, great video mate!

thanks from cuba ..Andrew.

These guys can use plugins to mix ITB because the bands that send material to them usually record using high quality analog preamps, compressores, EQs, converters with good microphone/reamp technique. Then they mix the material with depth and warmth naturally, using plugins, and send to a Sterling Sound level studio with state of the art analog gear and knowledge to do the mastering of the mix track. In the other side we get an amazing CD with competitive quality in the industry. Otherwise if the tracking is low quality itb and the mastering is all itb as well the result is just not possible to be on the level of the big boys in the industry and the CD will sound too digital, fake and weak. No mixing technique can fix that.

You can’t learn from him!! He’s all over the place

is it true that, you cant achieve transparency and loudness as Hardware mixing mastering vs DAW plugins (added waves or any other company vsts too)

What desk is that?

One can get good results using a DAW and stock plugins. It's not so much about what you use as to your skills to begin with. Everything else is just tools - salt, pepper and spices. If you are new or somewhat new to mixing, don't spend a bunch of money on plugins and gear. Spend time and some $$ on learning the craft. Focus on getting the best takes of the tracks first. Better takes = less mixing and processing. Then focus on EQ and compression. It's been said EQ and compression are 75% of the mix.

It's the lovechild of Rick Rubin and Kirk Hammett!

Так точно !!

😘🙏❤😍

Just been watching a bunch of videos on OTB analogue summing and how it can really add depth, width, warmth to your mix... and now this...just goes to show!

Reminds me of what a producer at a commercial studio in Chicago once told me: “transducers in, transducers out—that’s the only gear that really matters anymore.” Mics, preamps, and monitors.

Outboard-Gear is so goooood!

I love the way he puts things. "The two ends of the chain are really, really important, and then you just work you way to the middle." And I like that he doesn't try to deny the obvious: that in the box is ok. It might be different from out of the box, but if in the box had come first, people would be crying that out of the box is inferior. It's not better, it's not worse, it's just different. ☺️

Like si veniste a jalartela.

mixing in the box is for kids with laptops in their bedroom.a studio without a mixing desk is like a library without books

I usually just slap an ott and a sausage fattner on the master mix and call it a day.

😆

I had to know how my monitors translate... Very important

Number one thing. Know your room and know your speakers.

I enjoy Mr. Scheps. Great talks.

No control room will ever be 100% acoustically transparent, and you can certainly deaden it too much with excessive absorption, but finding a good balance is extremely important.

this audio is slightly overmodulated. The engineer is supurb.

I'm an "in the box" guy too. I get that some people love old desks and R2R tape machines, and that's fine, but the snide elitism that comes from some sections of the audio world that say it should be the ONLY way to record can get to fuck. If it sounds good and people are listening to the music then that's all that matters.

❤

Haha <3 I’m about to cry happy ;D

Love this guy ! lots of common sense and great work flow

The Master

Just use references and play your stuff in different environments on different playback systems

Waves Ad

He looks sneaky.

The Master.

Uad stepup the sound of vst ... but waves is still the same oldsound processing ... the arhitectures are old ... wonder why everybody use UAD plugins even if they cost to much ... wave you need to think diferently in this era ...paying famous musician to talk about old sound is easy ...even my cubase daw have better algoritm plugins ...
