PUREMIX John Paterno Mixing Lifeboats [TUTORiAL]

In Episode 5 of our Lifeboats Series, Grammy Award Winning Engineer, John Paterno, opens the multitrack for the Will Knox song, "Lifeboats", and takes us all the way from hearing the song for the first time, to a completed powerful and energetic mix with his signature sound imprinted upon it.

In this 3 hour tutorial, learn how John:

• Uses Analog EQs to commit sounds and add extra tone early in the process
• Uses Mono delay on the drums to enhance the shuffle groove of the track
• Cleans up clicks and pops that can be distracting and pull the listener out of the track
• Reamps the guitars using a Little Labs PCP box, an Otis amplifier, a Universal Audio OX and a Chandler LTD-1
• Controls the balance of the drums in the overhead mics
• Deals with the phase relationship between a Bass DI and Amp
• Monitors in Mono to fine tune balance relationships
