Description
Step inside Monnow Valley studio with Andrew Scheps! In this series, the highly innovative mixer tackles the raw multi-track session of the song 'Crossfire' by alternative rock band Halloway. Despite having mixed the song prior, he does not use it as a reference – instead, he gives himself a blank canvas and mixes from scratch. Taking the original session as received from the band, Scheps prepares it with his own I/O, colour coding and template, then listens to the rough print and voices his plan of action. Beginning with drums and moving to guitars, bass, and vocals, Andrew guides you through his renowned parallel processing workflow in great detail. The entire mix is done fully 'in the box’!
