Paying respect to the engineer that has always been my greatest inspiration. This man is simply the greatest of all times. Period.

@antonk6027 2 года назад

That is true, he's the greatest of all times! With such an amazing inspiration, no wonder you are so awesome as well, dude! Thank you for your amazing channel!

@samucarvajal-art 3 года назад

The most amazing part is that when he says: "The drum kick sounds too loud and too quiet at the same time" I actually understand what he means!

Andy Wallace is the good teacher in MIXING, he slowly describe everything. but others, they go too quick.

It takes a lifetime for people to naturally learn to speak low and slow, and mean what you say and not to sweat every little thing, the sooner people learn that in life the faster you’ll be happy

Natural born killer riff

@simonthecucumberenjoyer1042 7 лет назад

With every word he says he manages to put another brick on a building. It's amazing. Never heard anyone talking so we'll.

@riccardodepaoli8871 6 лет назад

I worked with Andy as an assistant at Quantum sound in Jersey City. Was a great experience. His passion and aggression to get the best out of players was mind-blowing. Hope you're doing well Andy. Reggie Lucas who owned the studio, great producer just passed away a couple weeks ago. End of an era. RIP Reggie

Andy Wallace is my hero - City of Evil is a masterpiece of mixing. It's my 'go-to' superb reference!

@michi9955 5 лет назад

I hate the snare on CIty of Evil. Its just sounds so weak and distant

@galleryofrogues 5 лет назад

Not a huge fan of Avenged, but I agree the albums he mixed by them sound SO GOOD.

@Testament127 5 лет назад

City Of Evil sounded stale tbh

@kfr5018 5 лет назад

City of Evil is prob my favorite album by them. But ironically it’s prob the worst mixed album. The snare sounds bad. And the guitars are way to trebly.

@paradigmshiftz7 5 лет назад

The snare sounded bad (for most people) mainly because it was tuned super super high.

@Darkhalo314 7 лет назад

I'm so extremely happy to finally hear the master tracks of Natural Born Killer. The guitar crunch of that Marshall JVC205H sounds amazing

@feliperestrepo4070 3 года назад

The train analogy is so perfect! I keep seeing it as he talks about it and the song loops in the background. Genius!

Andy Wallace is the best!! God what he did for Sepultura and SOULFLY is just incredible. :)

@TsunTsunProductions 7 лет назад

The things he says at 2:19 are far too precious mixing secret to be revealed in a free video. Life-changing mini-lecture.

@TsunTsunProductions 7 лет назад

well, it's your life, you choose what to do with it. So if its' not - it's ok.

@Titanner666 7 лет назад

bruno donizete clearly you don't mix or have any experience with sound engineering of any sort. Fantastic video from an audio genius.

@conorm2524 6 лет назад

Yep, real words of wisdom. I'm a live engineer so that's a different beast with many compromises. But I've definitely taken a lot of info from these videos. I might pay for the MWTM's videos series.

@catalystdrums123 Год назад

I came to this video just to hear his steam engine visual analogy again

@Zaflon 3 года назад

True master, the way he visualised that train and spoke over the loop. This guy defined the way heavy musdic sounds! King

@fredacuneo5180 4 года назад

The immortal bestows his precious wisdom upon the meek and undeserving. What marvelous gems of your mastery you have shared. You really do demystify so many complex ideas into practical terms we can apply (even if we don't have a 128 track console in our basement.) THANKS!!!

@danielwolfgang6900 7 лет назад

I met him twice before ....the first time I met him he changed my life. The second time he changed it back. If he kicked my teeth in and threw me down a flight of stairs, I would ask him why he didn't take the time to shatter my orbital socket. He's that good.

andy wallace is a legend! back in the day when we used to by albums we would read the liner notes and learn who helped create it, anything with andy wallace was a must listen. miss those days at record stores

@mikulasroubicek4642 2 месяца назад

no one's stopping you from buying records. they're still making them and there are still record stores you can buy them at.

@christopherdunn974 6 лет назад

This man is the best. He's mixed everyone from Slayer, to Nirvana, to these guys. Most importantly though he produced/mixed/mastered Grace by Jeff Buckley (my all time favorite album). His albums always have such a punchy, warm feeling to them.

@giuliano8031 3 года назад

@ecoRfan 7 лет назад

Not my all time favorite band but great move by them releasing an albums with a dynamic range of DR10-12 (dr loudness war database). Bob Ludwig mastered both and he usually does about a 5-8 but still the G.O.A.T. mastering engineer since the 1960's. As to Andy Wallace certainly another old timer, one of the best, mixed RATM's self titled album. Appreciate A-7x for being audiophiles.

@TheGreatWesternTrendkill 7 лет назад

ecoRfan and what did they get? I see critics blaming the producers... "top 5 worst production ever". it was a commercial mistake. most people are unaware of the subliminal impact of loudness. and producers who ignore this fact and master quiet make a mistake. there are many people who think this album sucks just because it's not loud enough (without knowing it). and I don't blame them. hell I have to remind myself to adjust volume when comparing tracks even though I do it every fucking day. me personally, I love the production but they could've easily pushed 2-3 dB. if I can do it without affecting the tone that much they should be able to do it as well. it's getting easier to get a master loud without compromises nowadays, not more difficult

@ecoRfan 7 лет назад

I had never even heard of the loudness war until I Google Image Searched "RHCP Californication" and saw a waveform of the song with a description of the loudness war effect. I was simply looking for album art that time but it brought about quite a revelation. As to this album and the previous A7X album from 2013, I recall both get high marks, but someone I know said the previous release sounded "better on the radio" perhaps because we are all used to the compressed sound. Sound Check feature should take care of differences in volume. Just turn it up and enjoy.

@EvilsonicRecords 7 лет назад

"Top 5 worst production ever" - source, please? Nightmare is one of the best produced/mixed/mastered albums of its time.

@Britton_Thompson 7 лет назад

ecoRfan When your friend said A7X's 2013 album "Hail to the King" sounded better on the radio, he may have been referring to the overall concept of the songs on that record. HTTK had a more classic metal sound with the drums & beats more simplified, and the overall song arrangements were more spacious to produce the power chords that the older monster riffs elicit. This current A7X album, The Stage, is a progressive rock album with lots of intricacies & unusual sounds used to create something very original and creative. Where "Hail to the King" was inspired by Metallica and AC/DC, "The Stage" is inspired more by Mr. Bungle, Tool, and Pink Floyd. Just a thought. Or perhaps he truly was referring to the technical aspects of music production.

@TheGreatWesternTrendkill 7 лет назад

+Evilsonic Record. that's awesome. who talked about Nightmare though? but since you brought it in... I much prefer the The Stage sound personally when it comes to The Stage, "top 5 worst productions ever" was just one of the ridiculous accusations I've heard. the production quality got a looot of flag. why? I explained it

@igorpodemski9596 9 месяцев назад

The Stage is one of the greatest sounding rock/metal albums of this century. The drums are mixed SO WELL.

@hoggen1493 5 лет назад

It seems like 95% of mixing is recording. The changes he's making are subtle tweaks, not broad strokes.

@Syklonus 4 года назад

That's it exactly. Although these days with technology you can change stuff after you record the performance.

@dstybtms 3 года назад

That is truthfully how it is suppose to be. A mix should simple enhance the recordings and not necessarily repair. To get a great mix, you need to establish a solid sound before you ever hit record.

@AlexMan999 3 года назад

It is but you can't have a perfect recording. the mix is so important to making a song amazing. a great mix can make a meh song great but a bad mix can ruin a great song

@boyblueNJ 3 года назад

Facts, can’t polish a turd

@phillipemery572 3 года назад

This is definitely my experience. If you get a good project in that was tracked well and recorded well, you shouldn't be spending days on the mix. You're just tightening down a few things and making sure everything has a space to stand out.

@rhythmdroid 4 года назад

One time they asked Andy to mix Puddle of Mudd. . . . . When he was done there was nothing left.

@mitekillem 7 лет назад

just had my eyes opened to looking at things that should've been obvious to me, to begin with. i.e. keeping the kick, bass guitar, and snare bottom at the same level, and keeping the things that create and help the chugs the same as well. -That way they're acting as one. Thank you!

@JUNKO____ 6 лет назад

It's the age old simple explanation of "balance". Sure it sounds like an easy thing to do, but it takes so much attention to detail to get it truly balanced AND have character.

@joukostenius4857 2 года назад

This guy is making millons mixing all the top notch artists and all he did was he added some 3000 cycles to the bass drum. I'm kidding, Andy is a legend. The new Ghost song might be one of the best sounding rock songs of all time. All the best Andy!!

@RAULDIAZ-re9ju 4 года назад

What a legend... Got the look he is the pastor of his church on Sundays and Monday mixing a metal band in the studio

@rockboy360 3 года назад

Amazing interview, I'll try to see my mixes in that way. I wish I had such awesome recordings to work with though, most of us small mixers end up doing forensic work and turd polishing.

@justinbowen1183 2 года назад

This guy has mixed some of my favorite records. Linkin park, avenged sevenfold, and I think he also did evanescence. If I ever write and record a record he will be my first pick to have it mixed/mastered I just like the way his mixes come out sounding.

@papadankelson5480 11 месяцев назад

@kurdtjohn 7 лет назад

His mix on the "Does This Look Infected" by Sum 41 sounded a little bit muddy compared to TLA's mix. But on heavy-ass records, he kills it.

@JimijaymesProductions 6 лет назад

I liked his mixes on Chuck though, that said my favourite tracks were mixed by TLA on that record with the exception of Pieces. TLA is an awesome mix engineer though, they both are.

Kurt Cobain was being read a list of Mixers for his upcoming Nevermind album. He kept saying, "No, no, no," as each name was read, along with the artist they worked with. Near the end of the list, one of the last names was, "Andy Wallace - Slayer". Kurt: "THAT guy!"

periphery does that but they're mastered stems. i think periphery is the only professional band out there that publicly releases their tracks. their stems are $35 for the full album.
