Description: A nostalgic song about a life gone by, “Seasons” has united generations of music fans with its passionate performance and soaring synthpop arrangement. Join Chris Coady as he explains the making of this critically acclaimed hit, showcasing unique recording and production techniques never before seen on Mix With The Masters.
First, Chris explains the strict rules the team broke to explore new creative horizons. They turned the entire recording process on its head, recording vocals first and drums last; they heavily relied on room mics to create depth and perspective. These unusual decisions allowed the band to hear the song with fresh ears and approach it as if they were playing it for the first time.
You’ll hear all these elements track by track as Chris works to create the song, starting from the initial demo stage. Along the way, he discusses the technical and philosophical aspects of his work—from tone shaping to session management. You’ll learn helpful tips on choosing studios, collaborating with the team, and making quick decisions at the most crucial moment.
Once all the elements are ready, Chris moves on to work on the final mix. Although he’s known for using analog gear, the band challenged him to create this mix entirely in-house. Chris dives into a ProTools session and shares the techniques he used to achieve his signature textures and tones. He explores the use of saturation for mixing sounds and delves into the subtle differences between analog and digital processing—both technologies have their place in his workflow.
