people 3 00:00:16,289 --> 00:00:17,550 that couldn't make it to the seminar 4 00:00:17,550 --> 00:00:19,650 that had a few questions do you want me 5 00:00:19,650 --> 00:00:22,439 to answer about mixing or or audio or 6 00:00:22,439 --> 00:00:24,449 whatever and we're going to run through 7 00:00:24,449 --> 00:00:27,660 those right now my first question comes 8 00:00:27,660 --> 00:00:31,430 from Jessie Miller and his question is 9 00:00:31,430 --> 00:00:34,649 what was your most recent mixing aha 10 00:00:34,649 --> 00:00:37,559 light bulb moment did it fit into your 11 00:00:37,559 --> 00:00:39,239 current workflow or was it a one-time 12 00:00:39,239 --> 00:00:42,629 usage event well Jessie that's a tough 13 00:00:42,629 --> 00:00:43,260 question 14 00:00:43,260 --> 00:00:44,370 not really tough but it's an interesting 15 00:00:44,370 --> 00:00:46,500 question what you're saying that I have 16 00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:49,260 an AHA light bulb moment I get those all 17 00:00:49,260 --> 00:00:51,030 the time like I'm surrounded by light 18 00:00:51,030 --> 00:00:55,050 bulbs I'm like Thomas Edison when I work 19 00:00:55,050 --> 00:00:56,910 with projects there's always that oh my 20 00:00:56,910 --> 00:00:59,100 god what was I thinking light bulb thing 21 00:00:59,100 --> 00:01:01,760 I was just mixing Stevie Nicks Iselle 22 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:06,540 and you know the most important thing is 23 00:01:06,540 --> 00:01:08,369 paying attention to the rough and 24 00:01:08,369 --> 00:01:10,860 getting the rough you know getting what 25 00:01:10,860 --> 00:01:12,780 you're doing to be a continuation of 26 00:01:12,780 --> 00:01:16,229 what they're used to but in her case an 27 00:01:16,229 --> 00:01:18,900 artist like that wants you to create 28 00:01:18,900 --> 00:01:21,150 something different so from doing her 29 00:01:21,150 --> 00:01:23,040 replicants I realized that she wants to 30 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,450 go through everything and take it all 31 00:01:24,450 --> 00:01:27,180 apart so matching the rough was only the 32 00:01:27,180 --> 00:01:27,750 beginning 33 00:01:27,750 --> 00:01:30,659 the aha lightbulb moment was be ready 34 00:01:30,659 --> 00:01:33,540 for anything so you know the lightbulb 35 00:01:33,540 --> 00:01:35,640 can pop up at any time the thing is is 36 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,100 never fall into a pattern always be 37 00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:40,229 ready to accommodate the artist so 38 00:01:40,229 --> 00:01:43,380 Jessie aha light bulb means be ready for 39 00:01:43,380 --> 00:01:47,040 anything now our next question comes 40 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,909 from Patrick Karen C hello Chris I've 41 00:01:50,909 --> 00:01:53,159 listened a lot to your mixes and I love 42 00:01:53,159 -->

00:02:01,290 --> 00:02:02,820 the very important thing my typical 46 00:02:02,820 --> 00:02:04,920 vocal chain is to kind of actually use 47 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,899 my plugins I came up with plugins so so 48 00:02:09,899 --> 00:02:12,120 you have a go to setting' so there's two 49 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,590 ways you can go my 50 00:02:13,590 --> 00:02:15,780 vocal plugin in my

00:02:34,890 --> 00:02:37,230 invented that plug-in just to answer 60 00:02:37,230 --> 00:02:39,420 this question so give it a try CLA 61 00:02:39,420 --> 00:02:41,519 signature plugin alright Pat good 62 00:02:41,519 --> 00:02:42,560 question 63 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,690 the next question comes from Tom he's 64 00:02:45,690 --> 00:02:47,670 got a a long question here I'm going to 65 00:02:47,670 --> 00:02:49,799 read it to you from the screen you said 66 00:02:49,799 --> 00:02:52,319 many times you try to do a mix in one 67 00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:55,200 pass how do you still make sure you get 68 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,150 the first impression of the song after 69 00:02:57,150 --> 00:02:58,700 you solve all the problems such as 70 00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:02,700 annoying frequencies etc and still be 71 00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:05,519 able to work from your instinct and do 72 00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:06,900 you ever get to a point where you've 73 00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:08,819 lost the connection to the song during 74 00:03:08,819 --> 00:03:11,099 the mixing how do you then go back 75 00:03:11,099 --> 00:03:13,260 without losing your own excitement about 76 00:03:13,260 --> 00:03:15,060 the song so you continue and go forward 77 00:03:15,060 --> 00:03:17,190 thank you so much for your time 78 00:03:17,190 --> 00:03:20,040 well that's Thomas's question basically 79 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,930 what he's saying I like to do the mix in 80 00:03:21,930 --> 00:03:24,120 one past how can you stay fresh on it 81 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,709 how do you solve all the problems to 82 00:03:25,709 --> 00:03:27,810 stay fresh on that is the ultimate 83 00:03:27,810 --> 00:03:30,599 challenge I look at the clock as your 84 00:03:30,599 --> 00:03:33,540 enemy with mixing and being fresh in a 85 00:03:33,540 --> 00:03:35,519 song it's got like a freshness date like 86 00:03:35,519 --> 00:03:38,489 milk or cheese or yogurt the most 87 00:03:38,489 --> 00:03:40,200 important thing is to try to have your 88 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,970 assistant team or someone helping you do 89 00:03:41,970 --> 00:03:43,980 the prep work so when you come in 90 00:03:43,980 --> 00:03:45,750 dealing with it a lot of the basic 91 00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:47,430 problems have been solved so what your 92 00:03:47,430 --> 00:03:50,010 next problem is is balancing and solving 93 00:03:50,010 --> 00:03:51,859 inner balances in the song andy cueing 94 00:03:51,859 --> 00:03:54,780 not being an audio maid if you're going 95 00:03:54,780 --> 00:03:56,010 to sit there and be an audio maid have 96 00:03:56,010 --> 00:03:57,660 to tune things correct time and get rid 97 00:03:57,660 --> 00:03:59,459 of leakage it's going to give you too 98 00:03:59,459 --> 00:04:02,040 much time with the song so the key is is 99 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,569 to do as much prep work without 100 00:04:03,569 --> 00:04:06,239 listening as long as possible and I 101 00:04:06,239 --> 00:04:09,510 think that's the secret is to try to do 102 00:04:09,510 --> 00:04:12,000 the prep work beforehand Tom good 103 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,859 question the next question comes from 104 00:04:15,859 --> 00:04:19,200 szilárd bull rose hey Chris thank you 105 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,910 for helping us to understand you're 106 00:04:20,910 --> 00:04:23,400 mixing philosophy you really deserve a 107 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,710 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award well 108 00:04:25,710 --> 00:04:27,360 thanks for that I hope the Grammy guys 109 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,819 think of that some point I have two 110 00:04:29,819 --> 00:04:32,969 questions first please talk about your 111 00:04:32,969 --> 00:04:35,939 philosophy on how you hear drums and how 112 00:04:35,939 --> 00:04:38,879 you approach them technically second 113 00:04:38,879 --> 00:04:41,879 part to his question in your mixes every 114 00:04:41,879 --> 00:04:43,650 instrument vocals etc have a great 115 00:04:43,650 --> 00:04:45,090 separation and clarity because at the 116 00:04:45,090 --> 00:04:47,400 same time it's glued together and so 117 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:47,939 punchy 118 00:04:47,939 --> 00:04:50,129 can you talk about what your main 119 00:04:50,129 --> 00:04:52,289 framework technical approach to achieve 120 00:04:52,289 --> 00:04:54,810 that and again he says thank you for 121 00:04:54,810 --> 00:04:58,020 your time here the first question is the 122 00:04:58,020 --> 00:05:00,569 philosophy is look being a drummer I 123 00:05:00,569 --> 00:05:03,180 hear drums a certain way I hear them in 124 00:05:03,180 --> 00:05:05,430 your face I hear them have a certain 125 00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:07,860 impact now every song is different some 126 00:05:07,860 --> 00:05:09,689 songs I want Led Zeppelin some songs I 127 00:05:09,689 --> 00:05:12,240 want Sheik so I want I've affected some 128 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,560 I want tight it's kind of based on the 129 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,500 song so the second part of your question 130 00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:18,990 is how do I get all that separation I 131 00:05:18,990 --> 00:05:20,969 think the magic to getting the 132 00:05:20,969 --> 00:05:24,539 separation is keep it simple and monitor 133 00:05:24,539 --> 00:05:27,000 at a quiet level if you monitor quiet 134 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,340 then you can really hear the separation 135 00:05:29,340 --> 00:05:32,009 the louder you turn it up the more it 136 00:05:32,009 --> 00:05:33,960 just muddles together and the more you 137 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,909 don't hear the separation so listen 138 00:05:35,909 --> 00:05:38,190 quietly and keep it simple when I mean 139 00:05:38,190 --> 00:05:40,560 keep it simple don't start right away 140 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,360 with compressor compressor compressor 141 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,550 start with nothing start with just the 142 00:05:44,550 --> 00:05:47,940 balance then season to taste good 143 00:05:47,940 --> 00:05:49,620 question they're in two parts so I hope 144 00:05:49,620 --> 00:05:52,979 I answered that for you the next 145 00:05:52,979 --> 00:05:55,650 question comes from coast men stood out 146 00:05:55,650 --> 00:05:59,159 he says hi Chris knowing you are mainly 147 00:05:59,159 --> 00:06:02,339 using the LCR panning method how do you 148 00:06:02,339 --> 00:06:05,009 deal with the 60v drop in volume net 149 00:06:05,009 --> 00:06:06,810 besides suffer from one listening to an 150 00:06:06,810 --> 00:06:09,569 mono well I think it's need three DB I 151 00:06:09,569 --> 00:06:12,419 think it's three not six since people 152 00:06:12,419 --> 00:06:14,250 rarely sit in the sweet spot 153 00:06:14,250 --> 00:06:16,650 too many to song might sound closer to 154 00:06:16,650 --> 00:06:19,169 the mono version so with LCR what is 155 00:06:19,169 --> 00:06:21,150 your advice on making the mono version 156 00:06:21,150 --> 00:06:23,879 similar to the original and not let the 157 00:06:23,879 --> 00:06:26,310 kick snare bass vocal dominate the whole 158 00:06:26,310 --> 00:06:29,189 mix well that's a tricky question not 159 00:06:29,189 --> 00:06:31,349 tricky but here's my take on mono I 160 00:06:31,349 --> 00:06:34,439 don't care about mono and I have other 161 00:06:34,439 --> 00:06:36,149 words I can use about what I think about 162 00:06:36,149 --> 00:06:37,529 mono but right now I'm just going to say 163 00:06:37,529 --> 00:06:39,330 I don't care about mono here's what I 164 00:06:39,330 --> 00:06:40,500 care about 165 00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:42,510 people that listen in the middle people 166 00:06:42,510 --> 00:06:44,040 that listen in stereo if you're sitting 167 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,300 off to the side of the speaker's it's 168 00:06:45,300 --> 00:06:46,710 not my fault that mix doesn't sound 169 00:06:46,710 --> 00:06:48,900 right you're making the mix for people 170 00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:51,600 that listen in stereo okay so that's the 171 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,880 focus listening in mono could be a 172 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,160 stereo speaker situation that's just off 173 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,840 in the corner where the separation isn't 174 00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:01,860 that wide so what do I do about the 6 DB 175 00:07:01,860 --> 00:07:04,740 drop or 3 DB drop I don't worry about it 176 00:07:04,740 --> 00:07:06,480 I worry about stereo I worry about what 177 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,010 it sounds like in a laptop what it 178 00:07:08,010 --> 00:07:11,100 sounds like wide if I have to go mono I 179 00:07:11,100 --> 00:07:13,290 mean it's not really consideration this 180 00:07:13,290 --> 00:07:16,290 is 2014 this is not 1959 when we worried 181 00:07:16,290 --> 00:07:18,540 about mono so anyway I wouldn't worry 182 00:07:18,540 --> 00:07:20,220 about it I would focus on the most 183 00:07:20,220 --> 00:07:22,080 important thing is how does it sound to 184 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,150 you sitting in the middle so a good 185 00:07:24,150 --> 00:07:28,050 question hope I answered it for you the 186 00:07:28,050 --> 00:07:30,680 next question comes from Philip rotor 187 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,960 Philips question is Chris I love the 188 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,420 drum sound on the rise against stuff you 189 00:07:36,420 --> 00:07:38,430 did could you please elaborate on how 190 00:07:38,430 --> 00:07:40,710 you make today's very static and awful 191 00:07:40,710 --> 00:07:42,780 sample supported drums feel natural and 192 00:07:42,780 --> 00:07:45,270 big at the same time well that's a good 193 00:07:45,270 --> 00:07:47,340 question and here's why you're such a 194 00:07:47,340 --> 00:07:49,890 big fan of rise against a lot of these 195 00:07:49,890 --> 00:07:51,930 bands take a lot of time and effort in 196 00:07:51,930 --> 00:07:55,410 getting a good drum sound the key to me 197 00:07:55,410 --> 00:07:58,080 is if you want good drums you have to 198 00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,669 build them in you have to put the time 199 00:07:59,669 --> 00:08:01,230 and effort that's why you like it 200 00:08:01,230 --> 00:08:03,840 those drum sounds are very good and I 201 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,640 don't really use any samples with rise 202 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,560 against now you know what do I do about 203 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,160 other situations it's tough the rule of 204 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,740 thumb here is use as much as the live 205 00:08:13,740 --> 00:08:16,110 drums as possible and only use the 206 00:08:16,110 --> 00:08:18,690 samples as a seasoning the more samples 207 00:08:18,690 --> 00:08:20,490 you use against the live drums for rock 208 00:08:20,490 --> 00:08:23,160 thing the harder it is to balance a drum 209 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,010 so the key is do your best to use them 210 00:08:26,010 --> 00:08:28,050 as much as the live as possible if 211 00:08:28,050 --> 00:08:30,390 you're doing more pop and more hip-hop 212 00:08:30,390 --> 00:08:32,820 music it's the opposite it's all samples 213 00:08:32,820 --> 00:08:34,460 and that's part of the sound so 214 00:08:34,460 --> 00:08:38,219 recording and balancing Philip I hope 215 00:08:38,219 --> 00:08:41,490 that answered your question and the next 216 00:08:41,490 --> 00:08:44,610 question comes from Dan Weston Dan's 217 00:08:44,610 --> 00:08:48,390 question is if there were to be a film 218 00:08:48,390 --> 00:08:50,640 about you do you think Nicholas Cage 219 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,350 would be a suitable actor to play the 220 00:08:52,350 --> 00:08:54,450 lead now Dan 221 00:08:54,450 --> 00:08:56,220 that's a funny question you're not the 222 00:08:56,220 --> 00:08:58,050 first person to think that I look like 223 00:08:58,050 --> 00:09:00,240 Nicolas Cage and I think that's a huge 224 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,280 compliment I think that's funny that 225 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,690 you're asking me a question that doesn't 226 00:09:03,690 --> 00:09:06,750 have to do with drums or vocals thank 227 00:09:06,750 --> 00:09:09,960 God but you know what I totally think 228 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,140 Nicolas Cage is the guy to look like me 229 00:09:13,140 --> 00:09:16,170 he may not be able to say hi you doin 230 00:09:16,170 --> 00:09:19,680 like me but I'm sure I can help dan good 231 00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:23,990 question the next question comes from 232 00:09:23,990 --> 00:09:27,690 Ben Turner hey Chris you make great use 233 00:09:27,690 --> 00:09:31,650 of pitch and chorus type effects can you 234 00:09:31,650 --> 00:09:33,210 go into detail about some of your 235 00:09:33,210 --> 00:09:36,690 favorite uses for them and any tricks we 236 00:09:36,690 --> 00:09:37,560 could be missing 237 00:09:37,560 --> 00:09:40,680 ix tricks we could be missing I love the 238 00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:41,150 tricks 239 00:09:41,150 --> 00:09:43,350 now the chorusing thing and the pitch 240 00:09:43,350 --> 00:09:44,940 things it's tricky I will tell you 241 00:09:44,940 --> 00:09:47,670 because this is not the 80s anymore so 242 00:09:47,670 --> 00:09:49,560 coursing the guitar is like we did back 243 00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:52,020 in the Dokken era our isn't really 244 00:09:52,020 --> 00:09:54,330 working so we really have to hide it the 245 00:09:54,330 --> 00:09:57,120 big time I use pitch and coursing is to 246 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,480 widen keyboards to widen background 247 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,780 vocals to widen widen delays that's the 248 00:10:03,780 --> 00:10:05,760 big thing I don't want to hear obvious 249 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,920 chorusing but I don't want to just have 250 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,800 stuff up the up the middle so I will use 251 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,290 a delay with a very slight course to 252 00:10:13,290 --> 00:10:15,570 make something wide so that's one of the 253 00:10:15,570 --> 00:10:17,760 secrets so the secret here or the trick 254 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,400 here is make it so you don't hear the 255 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,820 chorus obviously and if you do make an 256 00:10:23,820 --> 00:10:26,310 effect live with it you know own up to 257 00:10:26,310 --> 00:10:28,320 the effect and put it up it's going to 258 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,870 be a guitar phase guitar go for it so 259 00:10:30,870 --> 00:10:33,840 yeah pitch effects here 2014 very much 260 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,240 about subtlety widening without being 261 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,450 obvious so Ben hope that answers your 262 00:10:39,450 --> 00:10:43,560 question and I have Paul K Paul's got a 263 00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:47,190 question for me today his is how loud do 264 00:10:47,190 --> 00:10:49,530 you deliver your mixes or a mess to 265 00:10:49,530 --> 00:10:51,780 mastering and how do you get them loud 266 00:10:51,780 --> 00:10:54,360 without sounding pumping and over 267 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,690 compressed but still in your face 268 00:10:57,690 --> 00:11:00,840 another question is do you blend real 269 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,420 drums with samples is let's go to 270 00:11:03,420 --> 00:11:06,030 question one bar one I will tell you the 271 00:11:06,030 --> 00:11:07,200 secret there 272 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,170 and the secret for you is that the lower 273 00:11:10,170 --> 00:11:12,480 you listen to your monitors the easier 274 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,100 it is to get your mix loud because 275 00:11:14,100 --> 00:11:16,139 you're balancing inside a very small 276 00:11:16,139 --> 00:11:20,130 window and it's not all about tons and 277 00:11:20,130 --> 00:11:21,420 tons of compression you know what it's 278 00:11:21,420 --> 00:11:23,070 all about balancing using your ears 279 00:11:23,070 --> 00:11:25,410 listening quiet and pushing these things 280 00:11:25,410 --> 00:11:28,920 together and that's the secret and how I 281 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,720 deliver mixes I deliver them at a 282 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,940 moderate level right up right at zero 283 00:11:32,940 --> 00:11:35,010 I don't live for a Mac I don't deliver 284 00:11:35,010 --> 00:11:36,720 them maxed out to the roof because that 285 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,940 would be fed or a mastering engineer so 286 00:11:38,940 --> 00:11:40,500 usually a mastering engineer is going to 287 00:11:40,500 --> 00:11:42,839 get the mix eight to nine DB louder than 288 00:11:42,839 --> 00:11:43,260 mine 289 00:11:43,260 --> 00:11:45,720 so I just literally have it 3d book 290 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,290 three DB below normalizing so if you 291 00:11:49,290 --> 00:11:50,699 just normalize your mix and don't do 292 00:11:50,699 --> 00:11:52,889 anything else but more normalize it my 293 00:11:52,889 --> 00:11:55,380 mix is usually three DB below that maybe 294 00:11:55,380 --> 00:11:58,010 two so there's some room to breathe 295 00:11:58,010 --> 00:12:00,899 second questions do I blend real samples 296 00:12:00,899 --> 00:12:04,079 with real drums of course I never only 297 00:12:04,079 --> 00:12:06,269 use samples unless it's really just a 298 00:12:06,269 --> 00:12:08,699 sample song something that's basically 299 00:12:08,699 --> 00:12:11,130 samples only so hope that answered your 300 00:12:11,130 --> 00:12:14,339 questions Paul Peters got a question for 301 00:12:14,339 --> 00:12:16,860 Chris here contrary to popular belief 302 00:12:16,860 --> 00:12:18,750 you actually don't compress the drums 303 00:12:18,750 --> 00:12:21,540 all that much you are extremely good at 304 00:12:21,540 --> 00:12:23,820 deciding exactly when to compress a 305 00:12:23,820 --> 00:12:27,000 sound and when to leave it alone a lot 306 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,560 of people will compress the room tracks 307 00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:30,990 on every mix but you don't do that at 308 00:12:30,990 --> 00:12:34,260 all there's more to it Wow my first 309 00:12:34,260 --> 00:12:37,620 question is this is what Peter says when 310 00:12:37,620 --> 00:12:40,350 you decide to compress overheads or the 311 00:12:40,350 --> 00:12:43,260 rooms and why is it to get more ambience 312 00:12:43,260 --> 00:12:44,940 out of the tracks is it to tame the 313 00:12:44,940 --> 00:12:48,360 snare transients second if the drums are 314 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,130 not where you want them to be would you 315 00:12:50,130 --> 00:12:51,839 first try and compress the overheads or 316 00:12:51,839 --> 00:12:53,399 would you rather first try compressing 317 00:12:53,399 --> 00:12:55,769 the room tracks let's say the overhead 318 00:12:55,769 --> 00:12:57,769 room tracks were giving you Plain Jane 319 00:12:57,769 --> 00:13:00,720 well you know Peter I guess you got me 320 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,519 worked out though you got me all figured 321 00:13:02,519 --> 00:13:06,269 out you know to answer all the questions 322 00:13:06,269 --> 00:13:10,290 it's really simple your question is if 323 00:13:10,290 --> 00:13:11,970 it all comes really plain-jane will I 324 00:13:11,970 --> 00:13:13,529 compress the overheads or compress the 325 00:13:13,529 --> 00:13:14,130 room first 326 00:13:14,130 --> 00:13:16,470 that's funny I'll probably compress the 327 00:13:16,470 --> 00:13:19,319 overheads first just to bring the cymbal 328 00:13:19,319 --> 00:13:21,400 energy up just to see if that 329 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,100 I'll probably leave the rooms alone I'll 330 00:13:24,100 --> 00:13:26,560 only compress the rooms if they're 331 00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:28,840 really boring and I need some life out 332 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,730 of it because as soon as I compress them 333 00:13:30,730 --> 00:13:32,950 it takes this excitement it takes the 334 00:13:32,950 --> 00:13:35,620 transient energy away so I try to do the 335 00:13:35,620 --> 00:13:37,000 least amount of drum compressing as 336 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,950 possible and try let the bus compressor 337 00:13:38,950 --> 00:13:40,990 do all that work but yeah I'll start 338 00:13:40,990 --> 00:13:42,130 with the overheads and then I'll go to 339 00:13:42,130 --> 00:13:44,020 the room you know sometimes this song 340 00:13:44,020 --> 00:13:47,080 really wants it to pump and I'll go all 341 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,520 the way with it and that's the only way 342 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,740 to get life out of the drums but Peter 343 00:13:50,740 --> 00:13:52,630 good question so yeah Plain Jane is a 344 00:13:52,630 --> 00:13:54,910 great place to start so one step at a 345 00:13:54,910 --> 00:13:57,160 time overheads rooms and it's all about 346 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,500 balance so Peter hope I answered your 347 00:13:59,500 --> 00:14:06,490 question oh thank you so so that's our 348 00:14:06,490 --> 00:14:10,390 Q&A from CLA here at la Fabrique 2014 349 00:14:10,390
