Description: Step into Mix L.A., the studio of superstar mix engineer Chris Lord-Algie! Throughout this series, CLA will guide you through the mixing process with the country rock anthem “Smoke Break” by singer Carrie Underwood. During the original Pro Tools mixing session, powered by his SSL 4000 console, Chris listens to his original 2015 stereo mix and then sets himself the task of remixing the song in real time. He begins with a step-by-step description of his session management principles, a hybrid template, and an overview of his premium external hardware used in the project. Walking through the parts of a session, the CLA shows you what plug-ins and equipment he applies to vocals, acoustic guitar, piano, bass, mandolin, electric guitar, drums, samples, claps, Hammond organ and master bus. He then dives into the exciting mixing process and clearly explains his signal processing, automation and more every step of the way!
