Mix buss & drum processing with Andrew Scheps

Sneak peek from Andrew Scheps' Inside the Track series, in which he shows how he uses the mix bus and processes drums.

Step inside Monnow Valley studio for a mixing series with Andrew Scheps! The innovative engineer opens his multi-track of ‘Broken Bones’ by CRX to show you exactly how he crafted the final mix. Andrew speaks of the project’s background, discusses Josh Homme’s production style, and gives an overview of the session. He compares the rough mix to his final print, then demonstrates his approach taken and methods employed to achieve the desired emotional and sonic impact. You’ll learn how Scheps enhanced the raw signals of electric guitar, bass, drums, percussion, strings, keyboard, flute, and vocals. He reveals a multitude of ITB mix techniques that includes bit reduction, EQ, saturation, pitch-shifting, stereo spread, effects, limiting, and parallel compression. This is all done ‘in the box’ using Andrew’s Pro Tools mix template, developed and refined over decades of mixing top-tier artists!

I love Andrew Scheps. He’s so down to earth and straight forward with his explanations. The red light thing made me laugh

Andrew Scheps ... the Bob Ross of audio art.

[jacksmith]

I love this dude, no BS, no ego, just good sounds and means to get there

[Aeghar]

Andrew the type of mixer to master the track in parallel with the original

How cool is it that he’s sharing his expertize and though process behind his work. I would say very.

What I love about Andrew scheps is That he goes for the result. doesn't care so much for the technicalities. So if hitting the signal with a limiter by -20db makes the sound pop, who cares

[dangelobenjamin]

Impossible not to learn when watching schepps do anything

Andrew Scheps, love that he shares his thought process of why he's doing what he does. And it always makes perfect sense. The Pultec on the mix bus with boosts at 100hz and 10k makes perfect sense. If you've been mixing for any length of time, you would get how much sense this makes.. Awesome video!!! Alway love Andrew Scheps mixing vids.🙂👍👍👍

lots of respect for Andrew and his approach. Met him in Melbourne a short while back, super nice human being.

I did the room tracks blend in the parts that warranted it on my first ever engineering project in my home studio not even knowing if it was a normal technique (im only 2.5 years into the engineering game) but it seriously makss a world of difference for the right scenario(s)!

[alexisdehimi]

I love the way Andrew think. It’s so logical. I was wondering. What about the headroom for Mastering engineer ? The mix is already close to 0dB

[BigFatCock]

The Lang EQ actually has been modelled (by antelope) but unfortunately it's connected to hardware and isn't available to everyone.

I really like this guy. He could be all mystical and cryptic because his name is renowned, but he is just humble and chill.

[sirkayda]

Why do producers slap the space bar so hard?

[jumalx]

the way he explains stuff is just gold

[ulises]

andrew, the hi freq bump in the pultec is there to compensate the filtering created by your hair before the ear?? thank you!

[JustinNathanielAdams]

We need a "Sheps Final Smoosh" by Waves xD

[shuplitz]

Andrew Scheps is the Chris Lord Alge of mixing.

[Mysterywhiteboy]

I have met this guy a couple of times, he was involved with a studio that belongs to a friend...

[eccentricworx]

"Happy"... "Sad"... Really made my day! 😂
