Today, I'm having another GAS with Andrew Scheps, one of the most respected and well-reputed mix engineers in the music industry.
Andrew has worked with a number of incredibly successful artists on chart-topping albums such as By the Way by Red Hot Chili Peppers, 21 by Adele and Beyoncé by Beyoncé.

According to Wikipedia...
Andrew Scheps is an American mix engineer, recording engineer, record producer, and record label owner, based in Los Angeles and the United Kingdom. He received Grammy Awards for Best Rock Album for his work on Red Hot Chili Peppers' Stadium Arcadium, Album of the Year for Adele's 21, and Best Reggae Album for Ziggy Marley's Fly Rasta.
A Long Island native who got his start playing jazz trumpet, Andrew Scheps has mixed records for artists such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Adele, Metallica, Jay-Z and many others. After graduating from the Recording Engineering Program at the University of Miami, he spent some time working for New England Digital as a field service technician for the Synclavier, one of the first digital synthesizers / samplers / workstations, then on the road with Stevie Wonder (as a keyboard tech) and Michael Jackson (mixing live sound), before settling in LA.
Having got into mixing a few years before the analog-to-digital revolution, Andrew worked with a collection of vintage gear at his Punkerpad West studio in Van Nuys, California, including a Neve Electronics BCM-10 with ten 1073s that were used for reference during the Waves Audio Scheps 73 plugin modeling process.
Scheps is known for his balanced, modern sounding and often loud mixes. In July 2015, while being interviewed on Pensado's Place, he declared to work completely "ITB" (in the box), which stands for working completely inside a computer, without the use of external gear. His 100% transition to ITB mixing occurred halfway through mixing the Hozier record in the summer of 2014. "Going back into the box wasn't a sonic decision, but I actually rediscovered that I really like it. It's great to be able to work on three or four songs at the same time. I have not gone back to working on the desk since then. While I miss some of the visceral hands-on aspects of the console, there is a lot of creative freedom working this way. It might seem like a drastic change, but it is only the tools that have changed: remarkably my philosophy and sound have stayed the same".
He is also the owner and president of Tonequake Records and Punkerpad UK (formerly Punker Pad West).
Grammy Awards:
Ziggy Marley - Fly Rasta (Best Reggae Album)
Adele - 21 (Album of the Year)
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium (Best Rock Album)

"I'm not so young anymore, I'm 29!", is hysterical.

One of the very first people I would consider to be a real self-producer would be Les Paul, because in the late 1950's and early 1960's and his ability to write songs, recording & mixing albums, invent studio equipment, design reverb chambers, engineer & design his own recording studio and create the Les Paul solid body guitar. Les Paul was a music industry pioneer and a technology genius!

The interviewer is also great which makes it very enjoyable. Sometimes people have a huge guest but do very bad at interviewing. That's not the case here, great questions, great listening skills.. ;)

It Sound Really 1980's: Phil Collins Gated Drums, Yamaha DX7 FM & Roland Jupiter 8 analog Synthesizer sounds, Sequenced Keyboard Tracks and the use of Drum Machines.

And big, cold-sounding (not in a bad way) Lexicon reverbs.

Enjoying your interviews. You have a good down to earth approach. Hoping your channel grows.

Thank you Andrew for introducing me to the very concept of Reid Stefan. I just watched his first video from five years ago to get the purest version of his presentation, and could not stop laughing every time he turned to the camera. But also, you know, great info. Hope the trees are doing well!
