Step inside Studios La Fabrique for a workshop with the iconic mixer Chris Lord-Alge! In this series, CLA presents us with a variety of material from a number of renowned artists – vocals from Cheap Trick, guitars from Carrie Underwood and Breaking Benjamin, drums from Green Day, and piano from Muse. Each video focusses on a different part that is processed by Chris 100% ‘in the box’. Using a selection of his favourite plug-ins, CLA demonstrates a number of different ways to enhance the recordings. He does this by combining separate inserts and using ‘all-in-one’ plug-ins, while taking you through his parameter settings and the reasons for his choices.

We're excited to present our first ever series featuring the eclectic grammy-winning engineer and producer Rafa Sardina! Hosted at his private Los Angeles studio, this installment focuses on the vibrant mix of 'Aquí Estoy Yo' by Diego Torres. Sardina takes you through his expansive yet highly efficient hybrid setup that comprises a SSL Duality console, Oracle summing mixer, Maselec master transfer console, outboard racks, and Pro Tools. He recalls the 2015 session, comments on the rough mix, and compares it to his own. 

Explore the hybrid mixing workflow of Marcella Araica, mixing engineer of pop hits by Timbaland, P!nk, Madonna, Duran Duran, Britney Spears, and many more! On an SSL 9000J at Platinum Sound Studios in NYC, Marcella opens the 2007 Pro Tools session of 'Bad Girls' by M.I.A., originally mixed fully analog. Using a combination of her favourite plug-ins and hardware, she builds a fresh new mix of the track. Watch her moves every step of the way as she takes you through her parameter settings, creative choices and mixing philosophy.
