Andrew Scheps: 3X Grammy-Winning Audio Engineer & Producer - Warren Huart: Produce Like A Pro 

Hi Friends, We recently had the chance to sit down with the marvellous Andrew Scheps! Andrew is a 3-time Grammy-winning audio engineer, producer, and record label owner based in the United Kingdom and Los Angeles. He is known for his balanced, modern sounding and often loud mixes. He’s received Grammy Awards for "Best Rock Album", "Album Of The Year", "Best Reggae Album". His extensive Credit list include Lady Gaga, Jay Z, Metallica, Black Sabbath, Adele, Zac Brown Band, Green Day, Hozier, Ziggy Marley and many more. Please enjoy the video! Andrew was very gracious to drive straight from the Airport to my studio for this interview!! Thanks Andrew! You Rock!!

The Content has been amazing the past few weeks!

"they all say they understand what that means, but they don't" I feel this is my soul.

Who disliked Andrew Scheps, would probably also put puppies in a blender... Unbelievable likeable guy. Thanks alot!

I just love Andrew and his approach. Thanks you so much Warren, for making this interview happen!

What a treat . Thank you guys

As an early adopter of the Omni Channel, I'm glad that my impression of it came through: It's the plugin that keeps giving! It's on sale now for $29 and it's a, 'Hell Yeah' easy decision buying decision. What can't come thru on the YT vid is how really SWEET the EQ is and the endless flexibilities you get with four deessers, like removing unwanted string slides or low end podcast desk noises and on and on. You got a glimpse of how much there is under the hood, but until you play with it, you just don't realize how much good stuff can be so flexible. WARREN: Yes, that was JUST what I wanted to see from Schepps. Thank you for making it happen and available!

One of the most educational audio mixing vids I have seen.

So, this was interesting. When the interview started, Andrew was surprisingly restrained or just tired from the flight. Usually with Andrew it's like ... you ask one question and get an 20 minute super helpful answer... it took some time until he was on course here. ;) Interesting that Waves is obviously pushing the Omni Channel one year after its release (as Graham on the Recording Revolution published a video about the plugin at the same time). Anyway, seeing Warren and Andrew in the same room speaking about music is amazing by design. And by the way ... having Andrew coming into your studio to mix your song on the fly ...lucky you ;)

Wow! Was so waiting to see Warren interviewing Andrew Scheps! Thanks you!

4 gifts to the audio world...2 men...the plugin and this vid thank you for each of them

Andrew is one of, if not the most, generous people in Audio today. He takes a lot of his time to help us struggling mixers improve our lot. He once answered a question of mine about using a macro to manually de-ess - going step by step through building the macro, and what program he used. Truly a mensch! Also, a monster at his craft. And the Omni Channel has forever changed and improved my workflow and mix quality.

Alright Warren, James here, from sunny old England. By far the best music production series ever made. The Soundgarden video with Michael Beinhorn was epic. Next one with Foo Fighters 'Evermore' was brilliant. Now this one with Andrew Schepps also. Amazing stuff. All free might I add. You learn a lot more from these Warren, than you do spending hundreds of pounds to watch other videos that contain less information . Absolutely brilliant. Watched every video on your channel a dozen times. This new series is next level. Just getting better and better. P.S If you know of anyone in the London area that needs a helping hand in their studio, I will work for free. Can do everything and anything that needs doing. Was thinking of a series that unearths all the great but forgotten British bands of the 60's/70's and talks about the albums we all love. Think Spooky Tooth and talking to Mike Harrison. Think Family and talking to Roger Chapman. Would be epic to find Mark Hollis of Talk Talk fame and fleece him of information about the Color Of Spring album. I could go on forever. All on a level like these videos your doing lately. Totally brilliant Warren. Take it easy.

so humbled to get such shared experience, for free, like that and noticing everyones efforts to provide all of this with such quality. Much thanks!

This might be my favourite vid in ages. Love Andrews approach, and watching him actually tweak things is awesome! And...I seriously need the Omni...

2 of my favs! both so knowledgeable and humble! love the omni, use it a lot, just noticed the link for the MV2 i use to use a while ago but forgot about it, gonna give it another go cheers!

Been using the Scheps Omni Channel for a while now and this was great to watch. I learned a lot and it was a pleasure to hear both you interact.

Probably the best mixing video on YT. Honest, transparent and the passion is epic. Love AS simplicity in his approach, very refreshing and this plugin is a beast. I started using it after the first time I watched this and it has superb enhanced my workflow and sound. Just absolutely brilliant

What an extraordinary video. I really love Andrew Sheps. He has so many awesome tips up his sleeve. And I love his voice. He is the Bob Ross of music.

Great work Warren. Please do more pro session analysis with focus on specific plugins/techniques just like this! I'm buying Schep's omni channel right now btw. I'm sold!

Hearing Andrew Scheps speak is always rewarding on so many levels - always worth paying attention to. Thank you.

Spectacular video! Thanks Warren & team for hosting Andrew and sharing with us. Watching Warren's reactions to Andrew was priceless... Like a little boy on a very, very happy Christmas morning! And thank you Andrew for making the time to share your insights with the community. Great content! - chaz from EOWAudio

Well ...I, for one, have been waiting for you to interview Mr Scheps ..absolutely awesome!

I think I will go back into my Scheps plugins and open up his world. Love that you are still human at heart Warren and admit to not knowing everything...gives us mere mortals hope!!!

Great stuff! Andrew Scheps is one of my favourite producers, and the Scheps OmniChannel one of my favourite plugins. Really cool watching him using it on the production of David's song.

love it this got me a slew of ways of working with the omni channel i never thought of ....just fantastic videos you guys are putting out

Been loving the OmniChannel ever since it’s come out!! Happy to see it still gettin around. Amazing in single channels but also works Amazing Magic on a stereo buss.. boom!

I love this guy! Being "in the box" means he's a high end professional that the average home producer can really identify with. He knows the future, the future is in the box! I could listen to him for hours...

Wow. That's a gem of a video right there!

Warren! Every time i clean my "to watch"list, you come up with some even better stuff! Thank you again. this is priceless!

I've been waiting for this guy to be on this channel for so long ...Thanks so much for doing this Warren 😊😊

OMG Warren... the content just keeps on coming. What a fabulous catch with Andrew 😎👍 Awesome!!!

Love you guys! Thank you so much for sharing!

Every time I have a new favorite album I find out later that Andrew mixed it. Eventually I just looked at his credits to find new music lol. Several of his methods have completely changed how I mix for the better. I will watch anything where he's talking so THANK YOU for this video.

Enjoyed the video, Warren & Andrew : )

Been a HUGE fan of the Scheps Omni since it came out and it appears I've only scratched the surface! This replaces so many plugs in one spot now. Scheps is a GENIUS. Amazing work, Warren. Cheers

So the Omni Channel has replaced 90% of my plugins, I really think it’s helped me enjoy making and mixing music again. Just wanted to say thank you.

Excellent!!!! I've had the Scheps plugin for a few months and never realized you could open op the modules.. Love Andrews approach. Thanks again

This was a amazing interview ... slow to start in terms of info... but once he started explaining his Plug-in... The reasoning behind it... Why it's the best of all the gear that are his "Go-To's" ... His enthusiasm was contagious.. I learned more about fixing my mixes, from a songwriters point of view, than I have from tutorial's for other plug-ins in months... Thanks

Awesomeness as usual! Thank you!

Used it on my new album, but man, there is so much more to the omni channel. Great vid!

What an exceptional way to get behind the eyes and ears of so much talent! Waves should post this as a tutorial.

Def the cool hour I ever spent! Thanks, guys!

Watching this for a second time. There's so much to absorb in the software and the discussion on what and why. Andrew and Rick Rubin are the most zen-like producers I've seen.

What an awesome interview.. really brilliant.

Mr. Scheps is one of my fave educators. Brilliant techniques, super creative, and wonderfully articulate in how he explains things. And loving the Omni Channel... bought mine when previously when it was on sale, just need to experiment more with it.. so this vid was prefect timing. Thanks Warren and Andrew!!

I started music production in early 2020 and have amassed lots of plugins. This Black Friday I stumbled upon this Scheps plugin on sale, HIGHLY recommended on Reddit. It's now inserted on just about every track, including the master. It's madness. The low end that (you talk about) now comes to life with this plugin. That +4 DB on the kick really is magical. Overall, it's the best plugin I've ever used. Thanks for the quick mixing walk through with Scheps himself, I learned a lot.

I find Andrew's interviews incredibly helpful and insightful. The two of you together is like a fountain of inspiration and knowledge. Thanks for the great interview and Omni demo. I love the Shepps 73 plugin and will probably end up with the Omni one day, as I too am lazy. :)

Wow, thank you both so much for getting together to do this. Am I dreaming?

These videos are insanely helpful, thank you!

Thanks for sharing your ideas guys, love you both., hoping for more videos like this.

I love this channel strip, and it's really teaching me about tools I have been hesitant to learn about or reach for. An expander? What does that do? Well, I found out when I brought up one of the Omni's Snare presets and the gate was set to be an expander. Sent me down a rabbit hole. I'm still in infant stages of mixing but this plugin is one of my go-tos in every mix.

You seriously do a lot of hard work bro, thank you so much for gathering so much knowledge for junior producer like us who cannot access these things anyway

Hello.. I just stumbled across this interview. I've been watching your other interviews and enjoying hearing about what the thought processes were for popular songs.. This one was different. I'm so impressed with the development and ability of this plug in and all the thought that actually went into it. Thank you for this video, it was very insightful and interesting (for a geek like me anyway). Cheers!

I've had this plugin since it came and read most of manual and never knew it did so much, now i'm going to use it everywhere!! Great video!

Every interview I have seen of Mr. Scheps portrays him as a down to earth no bullshit guy. Always enjoy watching his take on all things audio

Man, I have had this plug in for a while and now I'm going to use it! Thanks guys.

This was awesome, thank you!

That's a great video. Keep doing things like thissss !!! Awesome work Warren

The Scheps Omni Channel is the absolute best, most versatile plugin I've ever used. You can do pretty much anything on any track, easily and intuitively. You can sonic-ally get anywhere from anywhere. Makes shaping sound a dream!

awesome video! so great to see Mr. Scheps work!

daaamn guess this mix gonna wait an hour. can never get enough of scheps interviews. fellow Stony brooker👌🏼

This type of video, where the person who conceived the plug-in (with a storied career), is sincerely interviewed by a producer (with a storied career), is possibly the best and most useful I have ever seen. Bravo, Andrew, Warren.

thank you warren and professor scheps! i love getting glimpses of his thought processes while he's working. more gems!

Thanks Andrew for those tips. Wonderful interview as always!

This was a really good way of doing an interview ... Having a full mix session at the second half of the vid ... All mixing/recording interviews should be done like this !!!

Andrew looked pretty tired and I was a bit worried with his one-word answers at the start but as soon as he started mixing, all the jet lag disappeared and was replaced with enthusiasm. I loved watching his grin grow every time he went back to the mixer - could be the cover model for a book 'The Joy of Mixing" ;) So much good information about the plug-in in the video - I'm not normally a sucker for sales, but when this went on sale I bought it. I'm a bit late to the party, but thanks Warren and Andrew!

Awesome! Love the Saturation on this plugin. Another great video!

Fun video, enjoying the Omni channel plugin

Warren Huart I learned a ton from this video. I went all in on Scheps Omni Channel to do more channel strip based mixing. That was before seeing this video. Seeing the man himself work his magic brought the intelligence of the tool out. Incredible video

2 of my biggest inspirations on the same video! Wow! Thanks Warren and Andrew for this insightful video!

Thank you so much! I could listen to Andrew for hours and hours ^^ Keep the good work going! :)

Thank you so much for your ability and willingness to get and share all this great content! i'm always learning something!!!

Thank you gentlemen. Just pick this up yesterday during the waves sale. Was already in love with the plugin after using it. But now after watching this my god the things that are possible. Andrew Scheps is a genius. Again, Job done well.

Andrew realised the huge advantage of mixing in the box. He is one of the guys I get inspired. Smart equipment excludes analog technique for efficiency.

Thanks Warren and Andrew. I just bought the Scheps channel for $29 and I'm playing with it now. I've been trying to accomplish the same mash up of plugin parts from another manufacturer and was ending up with three or four different plugins with each doing just a bit. So far it seems like the omni channel is just that. Now...if I could just get the preamp, filters, compressors, and EQ into a single hardware unit. ;) Side note: The Nugen plugin video led me to a set of lectures that Andrew had regarding streaming services and codec quality. I really appreciate the open sharing that you two provide.

This is AMAZING, Warren! Thank you for having Andrew on the show.

Wowsers! This was such an awesome video! Ok, so the Omni is definitely next on the list of must gets!!

Warren is a really good interviewer. In fact I learnt as much from him as I did Andrew in this particular video. 👍

I never thought it could get any better on this channel ... but now it's Warren watching Andrew Scheps mixing there at Spitfire and explaining crazy stuff. Blown away, thanks for that experience guys! Warren, your facial expression when Andrew said "we'll make the kick de-ess the bass" is just priceless! :-) Just got me the plugin for 29 bucks. Insane!

Great video!! I have been using the Schweps channel for about 10 months, and I love it. I still get confused on the side chain and MS. I really wish he would of done vocals, maybe another time. Thanks again Warren!!

Fantastic video! I've had the Omni Channel for a while now and it is extremely useful.

Great details of the omni channel. Andrew makes things seem so easy/obvious. Fantastic approach.

Omni Channel is my FAVORITE plugin ever! I use it on every project for my clients. All of my Voice Overs are done through Omni Channel and my Audio quality is top notch now. I've had clients hire me twice within a day because of the Audio quality and I owe that to Mr. Scheps!

Wow what an amazing content. You must be thrilled having such a great professor in your studio and checking your mix. And Andrew having such a great platform to show his plugin. And Waves is so lucky to have you, two heroes, on their team. Great work Warren and your team!

I just bought the omni channel about a week ago, and this thing is AWESOME

Marvelous interview with Schep and plugin overview Warren, 😄👍🏻

wow! like circling near an event horizon of ideas. it's so helpful to watch you work together, and great that you can explain things as you do!

Just Love Andrew's way of workflow in he's plugin. Thanks for the video Warren.

Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

Andrew is just amazing. Such a nice guy too. Thanks for the awesome videos Warren!

Great great video! Thank you Warren and Andrew! The best!

Thank you for sharing this content. As a non native speaker and self-producer this talks are so good and educational.

Absolutely incredible the more one listens and observes the less one knows. So much detail two brilliant men. Thank You This is one of your best.....

Most excellent, Warren and Andrew in the same room!

Andrew should have a bundle called superbeast template. Always love hearing his input!! Thank you thank you!!

What a terrific interview! ...and some great insights into the Scheps Omni-Channel plugin's cooler features! Thanks Warren and thank you Andrew!

really really helpful. thank you!

Amazing video! My latest thing is to use the omni channel more as it has been sat not doing much at all since I got it! Andrew is the man!

Well good onya! I was trying to resist buying more plugins and you both broke that resistance. Can't wait to use it and see what it does. That De-Ess trick with the kik and the bass and also on the guitar is something I have wrote down to try at some point. Thanks to you both for the great video.
