MWTM Q&A #6 - Andrew Scheps

MIX With The MASTERS - Q&A with Andrew Scheps

Exceptional Week-Long Music Production Seminars

The MIX With The MASTERS Seminar Series is a chance for recording and mixing engineers to come and work closely with A-List record producers, engineers and mixers and improve their skills in music production. The events take place in the outstanding Studio La Fabrique which is the perfect place to learn and relax in the South of France.

During his Week-Long Seminar in September 2013, Producer and Mixer Andrew Scheps took the time to answer a few questions from the MWTM Facebook Page.

Andrew: Steven M Borden: M is for Mark! Thanks for answering my question. I just upgraded to BFD 3, nice work !

[Powhart]

Andrew Scheps sounds like one of the coolest and nicest guys in the world :)

[Drfresh]

Im realizing more and more that I need to give my productions my absolute all.

Gonna be a producer or engineer one day, and I'm learning new stuff every day. One thing i always think about is how far must i go, how much knowledge do i need and what do i miss to be able to mix and master like a real professional producer/mixer/engineer? so these videoes really help me to understand how a pro thinks. Thanks !!

[kadiummusic]

Great way of looking at the roles of the bass and Kick drum, has just made me look at in a different way. 😎

[J_Terrible]

Thanks for the brain candy... I'm hoping to be a famous engineer someday and look up to guys like yourself so thanks again for doing videos like this!

[jasonxoc]

Andrew is my favorite mix engineer... hands down! That guy is so damn cool and everything he touches sounds amazing... I swear if I ever win the lotto or come into money I'd pay him as much as it took to shadow him mixing my songs!!!

[JakeSharpProfoundStudio]

Nice Q&A I Loove Andrew Scheps' attitudes and style so much.

[Simbi]

I like this guy he is nice and not self centered like a lot of the guys in mix with the masters

[Drfresh]

Everyday before I get to work I listen to one of these Q and As. I never went to school for this stuff but the 10 years of experience I have with sound engineering, plus these guys suggestions are a great combination.

Nice to here someone talk about Panning Again. I have not heard modern panning like the old days of Hendrix and Pink Floyd.

The jazzy radio ectrodactyly question because sweatshop simplistically box absent a obsequious ounce. alike, hard-to-find freezer

[J_Terrible]

Yea S/O to the guys who asked good questions as these were all things I've been pondering on especially analog summing boxes. Looks like I'll just stay ITB with Waves console emulations till I can afford and Neve, SSL, API or might just go with a Toft ATB24...

[lysergikdubz]

But using outboard gear with a DAW is easy... use the DAW as a multi-track and send direct outs from pro tools through your D/A to use a console to mix, then record your console stems (or stereo master) back to pro tools for mastering.

[madelefant]

Very nice of you to provide this information. You do a good job.

[noisyneil]

What a lovely bloke. Humble, knowledgeable, generous. Love to have a beer with him. :-)

[JoshFryer]

Love this dude. Great engineer and a down to earth person in general. Dig it.

3:36 "It was pointed out to me that a lot of people listen on their iPhone speaker"
Oh, all the words in the world couldn't hope to express how much I don't give a shit about how my mix would sound to THOSE people. :)

[sandstorm]

Andrew,
This is fantastic. What are your go to eq, and compression for dialing in the bass and kick drum? You mention in the end of the video that you have some go-to tools.
