Description: The first series of MWTM videos with famous mixer Chris Cody! Filmed at EastWest Studio 3 in Hollywood, these videos show Cody mixing the 2022 indie rock single “Make It Right” by Sasami. He gives an overview of how his workflow has evolved since he started mixing at age eighteen, and explains why he sometimes chooses to mix “in the box” and at other times takes a hybrid approach. Chris discusses his professional relationship with the artist and the goals of this project, then dives into the session. You’ll see how he completely mixed a song in Pro Tools, learn about his clever template in detail, and check out his favorite plugins. He shares his techniques for parallel processing, adding sparkle to vocals, expanding the mix while maintaining central energy, and more!
