    Not coz he's using parallel distortion (which is great) - but coz of the intense depth of his creativity and his willingness and desire to explore - to live outside the box.

    The people on here saying the kick drum sounds awful, really? He knows what he's doing and he thinking on terms of how it sits in the mx not how it sounds in isolation. It's Tchad Blake fs if there has been a more adventurous and influential mixer/engineer in the last 30 years I've yet to see it. He mixed Tom Waits Mule Variations! So wise up and listen and learn.

    I think what a lot of people miss when watching this video is the intention behind Tchad's parallel distortion. Tchad is known for not using reverb or TBEs to build a space or ambience in the mix, and instead uses this method of distortion to give him a similar effect, albeit with vastly different results.

    The beauty of mixing is how individual of an art form it is with endless possibilities. I really enjoyed how much he enjoyed the sound, even though to be honest the processing on this kick drum sounded awful to my ears haha. I have my own quirky taste though. I'm a big fan of slight digital clipping and a bit of distortion but in the higher frequencies only, preserving the thud of the kick but giving the top end this unique "smack". I also like them quite loud in the mix. I have a lot of respect for engineers that take risks and have their own vision

    how the fuck did he come up with this filtering + phase flip on the parallel shit? it can be psychoacoustic black magic, creating a phantom sub octave or just give this low mid presence in the mix that nothing else achieves. dude is just a mad genius.

    Wondering if the phase issue he mentions at 2:15 is because of the 18db octave slope he applied at 2:00 ?? Anyone care to chime in? I'm starting to avoid high-passing completely in favor of low shelves... Just because someone is a renown total pro doesn't mean that they're not missing certain things...

      @AmiliaCaraMia 9 місяців тому +1

      He probably has a reamp box setup somewhere off camera to adjust the level. Depends on the pedal though. Certain ones are designed w/ more headroom to accept line levels. You can also just adjust the level of the send in your daw to -6db or so. Same diff.
      Cheers.

    • @andigisler
      @andigisler 2 місяці тому

      He‘s using the Bomb Factory plug-in in this clip that is part of the Pro Tools stock plug-ins. Also the Nembrini Sans-Amp plug-in that also has a ‚Mix‘ function for parallel use. If you use the hardware pedal or rackmount PSA-1 you need a reamp box. Radial has several models - all great.
      Personally I use two hardware PSA-1s but also the plug-ins. And of course it was all inspired by Tchad Blake. 😊
