Description: Visit Spank Studio in Miami, the lair of the famous rock mixer Tom Lord-Algie! This video series focuses on the TLA editing and mixing techniques used in Weezer’s “Back to the Shack”. Tom shows off his hybrid setup and workflow, explaining why he decided to implement a combination of Pro Tools, a Sony 3348 HR tape machine and its SSL G + console. After reviewing his setup, TLA walks you through a mixing session and shows you some of his very clever and useful techniques: in particular, how he triggers drum samples with high fidelity and fixes cymbal leaks from tom tracks. See how he efficiently manages his sessions, aligns drums in time, adds effects to vocals, compresses the master bus and much more!
