Hi, I'm Ben Baptie.

2
00:09.007 --> 00:11.210
Welcome to my studio
here in London Fields.

3
00:11.212 --> 00:14.505
Today I'm going to be talking about
The Strokes "The Adults Are Talking"

4
00:14.507 --> 00:16.307
with Mix With The Masters.

5
00:21.100 --> 00:23.169
So I've basically got
two lots going of him.

6
00:23.170 --> 00:27.834
The first one is just slightly
more driven using iZotope Trash.

7
00:32.800 --> 00:37.873
With that as well I'm using a C6
to control it a bit more as well.

8
00:37.874 --> 00:41.210
So using that to control
the bottom end.

9
00:41.211 --> 00:43.717
Again, some EQ
to do the same.

10
00:52.584 --> 00:55.660
The main thing for me
was to gate them up a bit

11
00:55.662 --> 01:00.585
and toughen them up slightly to go
more against that kind of pounding 808.

12
01:01.400 --> 01:04.203
You can hear they're just a lot more...
They're still natural.

13
01:04.204 --> 01:07.374
Still not doing very much but just have
a lot more of a gated pulse to them

14
01:07.375 --> 01:09.451
so that when you
put them with the...

15
01:11.522 --> 01:13.437
everything's got the same
attack and release,

16
01:13.438 --> 01:16.428
so it's making it feel like
more of a dance song.

17
01:20.000 --> 01:24.495
In the middle of the mix,
you can see a massive dip at 49 Hz.

18
01:24.496 --> 01:28.099
And that was just
to really clean up that.

19
01:28.100 --> 01:30.377
One of the routines is I'll
always trust my instinct

20
01:30.379 --> 01:34.446
and I will always follow where
I feel like the song should go.

21
01:34.447 --> 01:37.826
And I'll just be honest
with myself at this time.

22
01:37.827 --> 01:39.746
The first mix that you
do is always...

23
01:39.747 --> 01:41.908
it's going to be
your opinion of the song

24
01:41.910 --> 01:45.417
and you should try and use that opinion
in the best way possible.
