Description
Legendary rock engineer Andy Wallace returns to explore his work on Ghost’s Grammy-nominated metal anthem ‘Lachryma’. Joined by co-mixer Dan Malsch, the duo break down their hands-on approach to hybrid mixing, with detailed insights on their Pro Tools and SSL console workflow.
Andy and Dan start with a look at their hardware and software toolkit, unpacking their approach to gainstaging and console overdrive. They proceed to work through the mix track by track, combining analog and digital processing to maximize the song’s power, punch, and low-end. These combined techniques help maximize the track’s clarity, even at high levels of intensity.
Towards the end of the series, Andy reflects on his professional journey in music, offering advice on how to develop a sustainable and successful career in the studio. From Slayer to Jeff Buckley, he explores the art of adaptation and the lessons he has learned working with some of the world’s most iconic bands and artists.
