00:00:09,620 --> 00:00:14,429
CLA QA here 2014 I have some questions
2
00:00:14,429 --> 00:00:16,289
from some of my fans some of the 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 --> 00:01:55,290
the way your vocal sound what is your
43
00:01:55,290 --> 00:01:58,369
typical vocal chain when it comes to mix
44
00:01:58,369 --> 00:02:01,290
well Patrick yes the vocals to me are
45
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 Signature Series is
51
00:02:15,780 --> 00:02:17,760
the best start point for you if you're
52
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,769
working in Pro Tools go right to the
53
00:02:19,769 --> 00:02:21,390
signature plug-in and right there you
54
00:02:21,390 --> 00:02:24,269
have six faders to give you EQ
55
00:02:24,269 --> 00:02:27,660
compression reverb and delay that would
56
00:02:27,660 --> 00:02:30,000
be my go to start up point for anyone
57
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,310
who wants to get a vocal sound
58
00:02:32,310 --> 00:02:34,890
that's like me so Pat good question I
59
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 --> 00:14:12,730
hope I answered all your questions
350
00:14:12,730 --> 00:14:15,340
I appreciate you guys making an effort
351
00:14:15,340 --> 00:14:17,760
to send me stuff to uh talk about so
352
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:22,350
till next time this is CLA from mixla
353
00:14:22,350 --> 00:14:27,030
over here at la febri 2014 doing my Q&A
354
00:14:27,030 --> 00:14:38,980
later
