Description
Join the highly innovative mixer Tchad Blake for a deconstruction of ‘The Mechanical Moon’ by Fiction Parc! Hosted at his private studio 'Full Mongrel', this instalment delves into the Grammy-winning engineer's experimental workflow and mix techniques. With the Pro Tools multi-track session open, Tchad guides you through his general approach to mixing projects and the methods employed on this record in particular. He explains how he prepares his sessions, shares his mix template, and reveals the exact processing used on the various elements of the project. Blake auditions the rough mix, then demonstrates how he enhanced the vibe and sonics completely 'in the box' using samples, equalisation, dynamic control, harmonic saturation, and a palette of effects. Aside from showing the plug-ins and settings applied, Tchad elaborates on some topics pertinent to his career, including the transition from analog to digital workflow, pros and cons of both formats, phase, mono compatibility, and more!
