This is the shorter version of “Dialing in a Mix with the Chris Lord-Alge Signature Series” video. This goes into less detail but gets right to the Before and After audio comparisons.
When Eq and compression isn’t working in your mix, sometimes you need to try other things. In this video I show you how I used the Chris Lord Alge Signature Series Plugins to dial in a mix. I show you how to get a clear sound in your mix and how to get a big mix.
In this video I show you how several small steps can create a huge vocal without being harsh or annoying to listen to. Get that vocal to sit in the mix just perfectly and not to loud where it’s separate from the mix or to low where it’s buried in the mix. Plugins used on the vocal are the Waves Schepps 73, Slate Digital VCC Vintage Console Channels, Chris Lord Alge compressor plugins CLA-3A and the IK Multimedia TRacks CSR Plate Reverb.
Your faders are almost maxed out, your plugin gain staging, well, you may have not adjusted it while mixing. Your master fader is pegging and you keep on trying to adjust your level to no avail. I see this question on Forums on a regular basis and it’s really quite easy.
In less than 5 minutes I’ll show you how I get more headroom in my mixes and you can too.

In this video, I show you my approach to mixing Brass. Blending each instrument to each other is key to getting a great sound. The other big factor first and foremost is working with great musicians as I have here.
