Tchad Blake tells the story behind Latin Playboys at NAMM
Mixing engineers Tchad Blake and Andrew Scheps did a session at winter NAMM 2020 at the Mix with the Masters booth. A super interesting conversation.
Mid/Side processing in Reason
Mid/Side processing is a technique many mastering engineers are using because it is so easy and effective. Here’s how to use it in Reason.
Mixing the master
Why limit, compress and EQ the 2-track stereobus while you can fix the whole mix more precisely?
Larry Crane interviews mixer Manny Marroquin
Larry Crane of Tape Op Magazine interviewed mixer Manny Marroquin. Some cool stuff came out of that!
Automatic for contrasty sounds
Audiomatic is a device which ships with Reason. It’s full of presets for quickly creating a contrasty sounding mix.

Like Photoshop for audio: parallel channels
In Reason 7 parallel channels were introduced. This means that now any channel can has many digital copies for additional processing. This way you combine both the original channel and it’s parallel channel(s). For example you can compress the parallel channel with any compressor you would like and blend the two.
