[@Producelikeapro]

[@gutekzpoligonu]

RANDY STAUB - I will repeat myself to death. One of the most underrated engineers/mixing engineers in the world or maybe He just loves to stay away from the fame that He deserves! I love His super heavy and beefy low end tone and those super wide guitars. He worked with Bob Rock with Metallica era from Black Album to S&M. He did a mix of "How You Remind Me" with Nickelback and also 3 Alice in chains records whey they've returned.

[@Producelikeapro]

Yes, Randy mixed three songs on an Album I made years ago, Andy Wallace mixed the rest.

[@gutekzpoligonu]

@@Producelikeapro What was that record?

[@Producelikeapro]

@@gutekzpoligonu Yowsa! Years ago! It was a band I developed, got them signed and Garth made the album. They used my demos for a lot of the album so I needed up with an Engineering credit. Andy mixed most of the album. Here’s a link:- open.spotify.com/artist/25xjytYjVKPvHiDIgrFodf?si=qVUgExRPSZ2DWWWrzGjQdg

[@gutekzpoligonu]

@@Producelikeapro Holly cow! Warren, You dip Your fingers into the grunge! You can clearly hear which songs Randy did by more fat drums and less presence in the vocals. Andy Wallace loves clarity at a level of CLA so it's obvious. That is why I love Randy mixes for me, and He would be mine mixer of choice because I love His bottom end, still radio friendly sound, but He almost always, 99,9% leaves this alternative peace in His every mix. As goes band: They sound like a Silverchair but as I looked, it was 2003-04 so it was on that "new grunge wave" but still I love that bands like that had a chance and I wish that nowdays it also would be a case. Oh whell, I'm collecting the money to send Mr. Staub a EP to mix so we will see ; )

[@eoinhayes5025]

Great masterclass. Wondering if that guitar line they are overdubbing is a one mic track.. I use a bunch of mics on each guitar track so was wondering about that. Whether its bussed down to one or if he is just really only using one mic for the guitar.. Maybe the full video shows that..

[@Producelikeapro]

That’s a good question! Let’s see if we can get Darrell to answer!

[@RussArteaga]

From the pic I thought he was having a Martini!

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha I’m not sure if Darrell is a martini kind of guy! Ha

[@johannrunart]

Any one knows what mic stand and clip they are using for the Coles?

[@legacyShredder1]

Lauten Audio FC-357 one of my absolute favorite mics. I F-N hate having only one basket/spider mount. I need the small mount, and I can't find anything that links up with the threads. I've looked.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much for sharing. Did you ask Lauten?

[@legacyShredder1]

@@Producelikeapro I have. With the Lauten Clarion FC-357 and FC-387 they don't want to make the hard mount. The FC-357 FET mic and the Lauten Atlantis FC-387, another FET mic, have capsules that are susceptible to coming loose with frequent & constant vibrations. It's a fraction of a fraction of a screwdriver turn between loosened and completely tightened. The spider mounts prevent this from happening. I still don't care. I can tighten the damn thing myself. (I have tightened it myself, but don't tell my warranty people.) I'm on a mission to have the hard mount made for me. If it's good enough I'll send some your way to give to Thorpe.

Hey, produce like a pro!! could you help me Please!! I’m self taught producer & mix engineer. My setup is a lynx aurora n, 1176 bluey, la2a & Rupert neve portico preamp for tracking & for da/ad conversion. I create great mixes for my clients; I also master the their projects in the box. I’m familiar with mixing & compression. Majority of times I’m mixing hip hop, r&b, & rap music. I want to incorporate a analog compressor for mastering but not sure which to go with: multiband, singleband compressor or tube compressor for color. Could you help me? which would best fit for me versatility. Thanks so much

[@Producelikeapro]

Wow! So many choices! Most people would say go with an SSL style hardware compressor, there’s lots to choose from, SSL’s own compressor, Tegeler Crème and Wes Audio Mimas are all fantastic compressors!

he uses pre processed tracks I dont think they are not dry raw tracks.

[@Producelikeapro]

Not sure what you mean? The whole recording was done from scratch, so if he applied any compression while recording it would be on ten tracks, and of course any uncompressed tracks are uncompressed. It’s a complete starry to finish recording and mixing course.
