Grammy Award winning mixing engineer Andrew Scheps mixes the song “Fly Rasta” by the amazing Ziggy Marley using exclusively hardware equipment.

This is the way records used to be made and it is a truly exceptional learning opportunity for all aspiring producers and engineers. Even if you don’t have access to analog gear like Andrew’s remember it’s not about the gear, it’s about the vision you bring and techniques you use - that’s the key to a successful mix.

In this 2-hour tutorial Andrew Scheps mixes Ziggy Marley across his twin analog Neve 8068  consoles explaining all his decisions, sharing his signature rear bus parallel compression concept and using the best vintage gems from his world-famous wall of gear.
