Description: Watch as a Grammy Award-winning engineer reverse-engineers the mix of one of this year’s biggest records. In this series of videos, Tom introduces for the first time his “in a box” workflow, an approach he perfected while working on the album at Rue Boyer Studios. The lines between engineering, sound design and arrangement begin to dissolve as he dives into the art of modern-era mixing.
Tom starts with an overview of his ProTools template. He introduces his unusual drag-and-drop effects workflow, a unique approach that pays homage to the iconic dub producers of the late ’60s and ’70s. With a range of complex effects at hand, it can create a sense of freedom and unpredictability that is difficult to achieve in a digital environment.
Tom uses these effects to create a huge amount of depth, color and tone in the mix. From Travis Scott’s signature croon to 21’s textured verses and James Blake’s ghostly vocal hooks. You’ll learn how he sets the stage for each of these superstar performers and creates individual vocal chains for each moment of the song.
As he works through the arrangement, he zooms in on each of the song’s iconic transitions. Breaks down their design and shows how he turned each into a standout moment. This attention to detail is a hallmark of Tom’s work, and by showing you the inner mechanics of his process, you’ll see that mixing and arranging are two sides of the same coin.
