- Today, I'm having a GAS with Andrew Scheps, one of the most respected and well-reputed mix engineers in the music industry.
Andrew has worked with a number of incredibly successful artists on chart-topping albums such as By the Way by Red Hot Chili Peppers, 21 by Adele and Beyoncé by Beyoncé.
These days Andrew resides in the UK, where he enjoys a peaceful life in the English countryside.

I always love watching Andrew Scheps interviews. Between his demeanor and his philosophy and attitude about music and mixing in general, he's always a pleasure to listen to. And he has such a great narrative voice, it's easy to listen no matter how long the interview.
He looks like a philosopher, and he actually is one.
A Christian version of Howard Stern!
Wow, one of the best Scheps interviews with some interesting details not in any other! Well done!
It’s well documented that since the early Soundgarden records Cornell would always drive when recording his own vocals, even with tape. The daw he used in latter years was logic. Lovely interview, thanks 😊
the realest conversation is about the label, the struggle, the honesty from Andrew is just amazing… fantastic
So much great information in here - and detailed engineering process from Mr. Scheps. Like having a mini master class. Especially his point about just ‘cleaning up’ the bass bleed with hi pass prior to mixing and potentially losing the character and sound of the record with the interactions of the bleed. Thank you GAS channel for providing such enriching content in this space. Subscribed.
Loved the Low Roar shoutout, they are an amazing band with a really amazing sound!!
That was a very well structured interview!
I'm barely getting into this episode and I'm hooked... I was a youthful kid playing with Reason once, I got some training from a DJ... Then I did an internship in a youth program Studio... Life pulled me away from sound for YEARS... And then I found stage work.
I'm the wake of the pandemic my scene is short on sound guys and I am the 'hack' who no one wanted to train who's now blossoming...
Great interview. Thank you both.
Thanks for this one. Great questions and great listening skills love it Im a subscriber.
great interview and great questions! Loved the ones about reference tracks, made me think. Thanks for the infos!
New to this channel, fantastic chat, and some gold advice! "Wait till this is mastered it will be great" is not a thing! Love that!
Brilliant interview with my favorite mixer personality - having a great name for a channel as well ! Cheers :)
love this interview! You have great questions and vocabulary! 🤘
Fantastic interview! So much to learn from the unprepared, offhand reflections of the experienced. Great questions - great job!
Andrew is the freaking man. Thanks so much!
Such a fantastic interview!
You're a good dude, Jordan. Keep it up. Giving these guys a stage, and showing them things on their OWN mixes, fairly and objectively, has me thinkin about jumpin in to your PPS......the free stuff you have around is worth what you ask for your program, if understood.
Keep sharin the wealth my man!!!🤘👍
Great interview
Two points you made are spot on: first, I studied audio production at Emerson College from 1991 to 1995 (Mackie board, 4 track 1/4" reel-reel and a Yamaha FX processor), and having those limitations helped me develop my ears for mixing, etc; second, to this day, I use Reaper and do my best to stick to one compressor, one (IF I need it), reverb and/or delay, per track - usually I have my verbs on sends. :)
Subscribed ,,,interesting interview,,,,,
that was fantastic.
Nice interview, it is quite right that you can do a lot with just a few plugins:
EQ:
De-Ess
LP/HP (useful for intros and outros)
Find resonant peaks by sweeping peak
Optional key and pitchtracking to cut and boost (useful on bass riffs)
Shape tone and add focus with bell filter
Add / Remove spectral width by side EQ,
making stereo signals monocompatible.
Add dynamic EQ at key freq
LR panning separation on bus
Percussion separation on bus (usually cut at 600 Hz mids)
Drum separation on bus (usually begins cut at 300 Hz mids, slight boost at 100 and 2000 Hz)
Using shelf eq to avoid phase issues
Master linear EQ Effects:
Master EQ, the order is important
Midside focus by cutting extreme high lows (De-Rumble, De-Harsh)
Adding harshness and rumble can add attention, interest but also tension and fatigue.
Side focus by dynamic boosting the top mids on the sides (Stereorise)
Bus EQ Effects:
Demask kick and bass
Mahyem softening by adding serial dynamic eq nodes to the mids
Match EQ(match tonal balance of fx chain)
Fit to Tonal Balance by cuts and boosts
AI / Smart EQ
Pultec EQ
Parallel EQ
Pan EQ
Tool / VCA:
Experimental MidSide Level:
Stem Width Target 120%
Master Width Target 80%
Audio Sidechain
Trim automation
Ride automation
Comp:
Shape transient by slow attack
Shape tail by slow release
Comp Effects:
Ext duck by SC
Using Comp as a limiter by high ratio above 1 to 20
Using Comp as a saturation unit by very short attack and release times, with unity ratio, adding distortion by lowering threshold.
Parallel Compression/Expansion/Limiting/Saturation by mixing only 30 to 50% wet
OTT style compression: just compressing lows and highs in a multiband setup, leaving mids neutral.
Treat only mid or side, not both at once
Internal SC (Filter to focus the response to the mids, avoiding triggering by lows)
Expand by negative ratio
Expansion before any dynamic processing can give more dynamic range to start with.
Avoid pumping by second slow release
Add glue by light comp
Add pumping by heavy comp
Rev:
Add decay to dry sounds
Add room
Add mud/blur to harsh sounds
(Natural filtering and degradation in space)
Add ambience (background layer)
Creating deep and cosmic oneshoots.
Great talk, Andrew reminds me of a producer version of Stuart Copeland or even Devin Townsend, massive expertise, brutally honest and entertaining with it. Having no budget at all this last 5 months has really sucked! I watch as i fade into the background, as I just can't afford to market right now! It's worse as I know I kick ass and enough people (outside my family and friends obvs!) have express love for what I do!
So diplomatic
oh dear ...love the mixing
....wise to not go further than your mind understands
likewise...
Anyone that has a cat tower is an epic legend in my eyes
It's the cats that do the mixing. Didn't you know?
WOW: I thought I was odd for rarely using eq on my printed tracks. Great to know that!
The 3 G's - a good song, a good performance, a good recording
Andrew Scheps is one of my favorite Engineers to listen to & learn from. I love how he explains his thought processes & is so straight forward. Thanks for being awesome Mr. Scheps. Check out the Spotify playlist I created of his work called 'The Bearded Sound Guy - Andrew Scheps' Peace, Love + Positive Vibes. =)
Love u❤❤❤
How on earth do you have so few subscribers? This is great stuff!!
there is no ass and boobs thats why
If it comes to titles to avoid, I'd add "You're doing xxx wrong", "X things you didn't know", or "This item is a must have / will change everything / make you successful / etc". There's so much clickbait on YT, even channels I liked started to use such titles.
🙏
8:43 LOVE IT. I´d like to add my new favorite clickbait term "...the pro´s use" or "...the pro`s do!"
Great

Nope, wrong gear Andrew.
pub plugin by waves - transports you there with a mouse click - please make
A.S. = The G.O.A.T.
An unmastered mix sounds different doesn't it?. AS "Well...... No."
This is it right there! LOL
I d like to have these plugins without aliasing. the thing that builds up in your mix. Using the omnichannel whould give you digital artifacts- because its a channel stip that you re using on every track. Why is waves so bad at setting good antialiasing filters? Or can you internal oversample the omni? Running a whole project at 96 khz or above is a joke- but saturation plugins need to handle the aliasing well- like many do- all the others are looking good and sounding good but messy when overused.
I dont want to hate... i like Scheps work and what he gives us with his music art and knowledge!!!
Whats youre opinion?
Most waves products can be oversampled. Paul Third is probably the best explaining it in detail.
@@djquantize yes but not all that have Saturation or distortion ect per example in eqs ect.... can you overaample scheps omni?
@@johnnyraphaell TBH I dont know dude, I use UAD and my machine does 96k no problems. I barely touch waves. That's why I recommended paul third. Hope you find what your after.
Wasn't this guy responsible for the ridiculous loudness on the Death Magnetic record? At least he was one of the guys who mixed it, or was that Ted Jensen's fault? Whoever, what the hell were they thinking?
Also this BFD3 software. Why is all the drum samples so ridiculously compressed? Isn't there a way to sample them more natural WITHOUT compressing it to hell and back, or is there a feature of turning off the (compressor) ridiculous (unnatural) attack's on the drums?
thenk you echt uit mijn hard waarom ik heb echt nooit geleert maar dit is van mij noura boukhizzou ik heb zo vol gehouden .ik heb nooit geen min mijn gevoel gevolgd . het is net of je een insrumment geen foutmaken dan gaat het niet door in mijn hoofd te veel geleuden is niet mooi
4:14 Fairchild? Fairlight.
If there was a double like-button I would click it at least ... three times.

"metal gear whatever"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
ssl-ish ;D
Pretty good until they moved into sociology. I'm not here for that.
this is adel's top...she never sand anything better...she should be focused on blues-jazz....not really a pop-upbeat singer. th-cam.com/video/55wF62EmmvQ/w-d-xo.html
Really, a political lecture over a guy who killed himself doing too much drugs halfway through?
Funny listening now, when just a couple of years ago everyone was in this hysteria about blm. What a sham that turned out to be.Andrew is apologizing for being white successful here😂
