RE: Editing the sacred Cow... I think I can relate to this... There was an overdub session in Miami with Billy Preston. He had done no less than 4 piano tracks each on e better than the last...unusual ..as the first take is typically the one I always seem to go back to...I digress... If Jimmy Miller hadn't been sitting in the pilots chair that day there would be a mix of a song with one guitar, one drums set one bass and one singer...with FOUR piano parts over the top of the mix... Yeah it took some guts to hit the buttons..thankfully it WAS an SSL {G+ I think?} so we didn't have to cut any tape...just hit a big square button on the desk... Sucks that some people aren't here anymore.
I wonder if you design a million dollar studio to be perfectly tuned that if you put stuff on walls and in racks, does it all resonate and vibrate? How does he compensate for all the "extra" stuff that is blocking all the reflective soundproofing and frequency altering the sound he hears?
I bet all that stuff probably helps to diffuse the sound, it certainly wouldn’t do noticeable harm to acoustic treatment of the room and may even make it better
Cool video. Don't spend $100,000+ at recording school, kids. Buy an SSL and other rack gear instead. Trust me! People care more about gear + location than they do a college degree.
Well the gear and large format console is used as promotional material to get customers in. People are impressed with the fancy gear. No one would take Chris Lord Alge seriously if he mixed on a laptop. The equivalent back when he started would be a small format reel to reel machine with a tiny mixing board. My point is, if you are going to drop $100,000-200,000 on a music production degree you are much better off starting a recording studio instead.
CLA's mixes speak for themselves. There's a tonne of engineers that are mixing on their laptops / computers and are getting the top 40 artists mix jobs. I don't think the gear defines an engineer. Yeah it's got appeal, but at the end of the day the sound is the biggest seller.
Chris is a great engineer.. it’s amazing how far hes come from the old H&L days.. I was a kid in the studio watching him and my father work
who is your father
Can’t get enough of this guy.
You can't mess with us! haha love it!
Watching you is very inspiring for me, thanks so much for being who you are and existing. MUCH LOVE!
I would love to see CLA with a different tshirt color
Love listening and learning from what you say it's incredible pieces of history that made music life .
Love it . Thx
I love that you brought your brother in and you guys killed it...so cool!
✊🏾💯✊🏾💯✊🏾💯✊🏾💯✊🏾

Love CLA Waves plug-in series. Awesome on guitars and vocals. Thanks CLA !!! Planning on getting your NS-10m remakes soon :)
Midnight Angels I use the bass and drums one, I swear the drums have samples in there as it sounds too good!

You can´t mess with us :) Great!!! CLA is a legend!
Best brother ever
Love CLA!!!
He took it and Rolled With It would’ve been better when referring to the Winwood album.
please give the SVR thing

Switzerland... The flag's a big plus!
Like your Video's but for us normal folks Mixing is not very easy with using DAW.
Chris, have you a preference on bands tuning to the natural A @432hz? Or no?
Pseudoscience bullshit.
Pretty much yeah, eheh.
Who is dusting that room?
I would do it for free, just to watch and learn :) Hell I'd even pay him to let me dust!
my thoughts exactly.
The runners or the detailer. Big studios have those...
This man was reincarnated before he even died
he has nice teeth
expensive teeth, probably
The glories of nepotism…
Too bad I don’t know anyone connected and generous in that way
Cool video.

RealHomeRecording.com And also no gear because the audience won't recognize anyway...

40 Drake's producer mixes on his laptop with headphones.... so theres one example
