Description

Join us for an insightful series with the famously unconventional mixer Tchad Blake! Hosted at his private studio in Wales, this installment reveals some of his latest tools and techniques as he remixes the song ‘Love Is A Deserter’ by The Kills.

Working completely ‘in the box’, Tchad shares his Pro Tools session template, goes through the material and states his objectives for the new mix. You’ll see how he sets his master chain from the start and tweaks it as he applies a variety of processing to tracks and groups.

You’ll learn about his latest plug-in choices for saturation, modulation, excitement, dynamics, and more. Aside from mixing, Blake also rearranges parts of the session and adds samples to further enhance the record!

New here, is anyone else noticing alot of unusual video and audio artifacts in this series? During the playthrough it sounds like there is a second feed in the series? There are multiple periods in this series where the video is in 2x (?) Speed where he is editing, and the mix is playing, which if are intentional, only really serve to make the viewer trouble shoot video playback in their web browser?
