We are proud to release our first video series with Grammy-winning engineer Stuart White! After a full playthrough of the song 'Becker' by Autolux, he dives into all aspects of the Pro Tools session. Having mixed the record in the box, White revisits the routing and processing implemented to create a sonically intricate and gritty result that oozes with character!
He discusses the material given to him by the band, explains why he committed to certain sounds, and demonstrates the differences made by bypassing and reactivating plug-ins used. Treatments include subtractive notch EQ, multi-band & sidechain compression, low end mono summing, pan automation, vocal effects, subharmonic synthesis, and more. White also reveals his unorthodox mix processing, which comprises multiple stereo busses blended in parallel and routed to a final 'limiter' channel.

Brathwaite describes the dialogue between parties involved in the record, his typical starting points for a project, and how he tends to follow a subtractive workflow.
He then reveals every stage of processing applied to the vocals and instrumentation, from EQ and compression to effects, stereo manipulation and pitch correction. He explains why he avoids certain commonly-used mix techniques, discusses gain staging and headroom with mastering in mind, and much more!
