If you work with Chris, you know your going to get a big wide screen mix. He IS opinionated, and likes to make sure the core of the song, the essential parts of the arrangement are really focused. He may not care for the fiddly guitar line in the 2nd verse, that you spent 2 days perfecting...he's more concerned with the SONG coming across, the big picture, not the individual tracks. Not to say he doesn't like ear candy, he is great with reverb and delays...creating a sense of space in a mix...and also good at helping to create dynamic moments in a mix, and very quick when called upon to come with something on the spot. There's a reason he's booked every single day, he consistently delivers awesome mixes! | |

Are you in the room with him when he's mixing or do you send him the session and then get a mix for comments and revisions? And I guess the same question applies to the other mixers you work with.

I usually let the mixer work on their own until they get it to a place where they are ready for comments and tweaks, then usually stay with them until it gets printed. | |

I love how you are willing to talk about working with him on a project with a really popular band. How long does it take him to do a mix of a song such as "21 Guns"? Oh yea, and who came up with the awesome Elton John backups in the chorus? haha I love that! |
