Description
Enter the mind of Tchad Blake as he mixes an original song by Triggerfinger from scratch. In this series, the renowned engineer explores the relationship between mixing, sound design, and musical arrangement, revealing how he uses creative editing and processing to supercharge this angular alt-rock track.
Tchad launches straight into the mix, blending tracks and building a static balance on the fly. Watch him experiment with EQ, distortion, and special effects in real time as he transforms the texture and tonal balance of drums, guitars, vocals and more. He then pushes beyond mixing, editing and restructuring parts of the arrangement to create powerful transitions and unforgettable moments.
