In 2015, the amazing Andrew Scheps opened the multitrack for Will Knox’s "Lifeboats" and took us all the way from hearing the song for the first time to a completed mix with his signature sound imprinted upon it. In addition to a fantastic sounding mix, Andrew delivers some of his most detailed explanations of his famous techniques to date.
In this Episode 4 of the Lifeboats Series, Andrew:
- Shows exactly how he sets up every mixing session to look familiar, including his template, groups, VCA’s, naming conventions, FX, busing and more.
- Gives an in-depth explanation of his famous rear bus technique
- Explains how he uses lo-fi to create unique distortion effects
- Breaks down his parallel processes such as the “Drums Dirt” bus
- Explains how he gets to know the song
- Defines “Your Job As The Mixing Engineer” and more...

Amazing video. Very clear. Seems like everything is easy but it isn't. Congratulations Andrew and Puremix for the content.

Scheps has been spending too much time working with Fab lmao. Pulls up his own designed EQ; "let's use this EQ made by some idiot" lol. Gold nuggets through this whole series. Awesome work. Really interesting how much he DIDN'T have to do to make this mix sound so great.

Freaking incredible work from a true master. Total genius and very insightful. Grateful to see an artist at work. This one 2+hour video alone is going to change my workflow. Thank you for this...

What I like about Andrew´s mix is that it shows a personal vision and personality.
This guy is not shy to leave a footprint, which is good.
Unfortunately not even him can´t change the fact that the arrangement as well as the song is pretty mediocre.
