Live at Mix LA #1 Green Day

[reggaetoni]

your gear is terrible and I'll gladly help you get rid of it :-p

[boderrickshorter]

What type of studio monitors do you guys use

[XXXO333]

@dannycurtean oh yeah? you must have missed the giant graphic eq he has there...

[richardgaas]

whats he using those la3s on? are the overheads running through the 33624s?

[blackjesus1026]

Whats up with the camera man? You need to slow down. Im using a 32" monitor and i got really dizzy... You are moving way to fast... CLA is great at mixing. Love the mix not the song... GREAT>>>> POST MORE

[lpkyer]

look at the faders...almost all at unity gain lol

[ckswartwood]

@lpkyer it's is amazing how much push and pull you can get from analog gear :) peaking LED's on analog gear is almost a requirement :D 

[labanx]

1:15 That piece of equipment looks like it's tired from working too hard. Take a break once in a while.

[marcusdolby1]

@labanx I can tell you that equiptment isnt tired at all. I still use my Urei compressors from the 70s and not one plug in even comes close to sounding as good. Just have a good tech guy and all the equiptment will work for 30+ more years.

[labanx]

That equippment looks like it has been working too long.

[strat002]

FUCKING PHASE! DX

[foketesz]

ppl have been making good recordings ever since the technology first appeared, after getting the hang of it. We are doing so now, even tho it may be surrounded by a plethora of so-so material. A mixer with this experience and good sense will do a great job with plugins or top-notch vintage gear. Different?: yes. Better or worse?: 6 billion answers.

[iRickYeah]

this is Chris Lordalge people :D

[valescarlett]

qqqqqqqqqqqqqq?



[waveterm]

It is a remote meter for the 48 track Sony digital taperecorder, irc.

[Parethas]

awesome!!

i like so much!!

:)

[danbobdave]

Butch Vig? As in Nirvana's Nevermind Butch Vig? Well that explains a lot XD

[alastico]

Anyone know what is this hardware used for Meter?? that Bargraph beetwin the monitors...?

[FrancisJoa]

@alastico Maybye it´s a spectrum-analyzer or it shows the levels from the created subbusses.

[gitaard]

@dannycurtean nope you don't know that =]

[juicey1984]

Amazing!! Just simply amazing!! Not only is the band a talented group. But so is the audio.mix engineers. Such important ppl in the record industry. God bless you all.

[daverolo87]

waves plug ins sound 95% the same as the analog, but u better have a "Great mic" and a top "Tube Pre Amp" in order to get a good mix with the plug ins!!!

[Dzoni73]

HA THIS CAN AM STUDIO B ! :))))) they got their rack updated since 90s...

[stevenmcnair1897]

Awesome video! Very inspiring. I love how almost everything on the racks is jumping.

[Malc180s]

What it does is very very simple. Most people don't know because most people don't care, not because it's in some way complicated.

But this is Green Day, and shit Green Day at that. It wouldn't have sounded any worse without it.

[BlackSoulent]

my question is! if the plugins suppose to sound just like the hardware. what is the need for hardware anymore. why not just rack up on plugins?

[VesqVj]

Even if plugins were close enough to sound like real hardware (imo they never are), some people find it more comfortable and home to turn knobs. For example I end up with better results by mixing drums' eq with a real mixer than software eq. And hey, if you have money and skill, you can do just like this guy. Using plugins is affordable and that's something everyone can do in their little home studios. I don't think this guy could find as good plugins as that hardware is.

[dopewithabass]

@VesqVj I know this an old comment, but the plugins he's using were built from the hardware, to exactly replicate it in a much more reliable and usable way.

[AngellOfficial]

@BlackSoulent Its the different between the analog and digital sound. Hardware offers that warm analog feeling where as Digital (in-the-box) plugins only get so close. For example, they have tape imitators, that give your mix the feeling of 24inch tape, but its not, nor will it ever be the same sound as if you were to print to a 24 track on tape.

[luckystrke]

@BlackSoulent Because it doesn't sound like the hardware..

[revolutionary209]

look at the technology...so confusing...

[abcdnubs]

thumbs up to chris for making it sound good on a pair of NS-10s lol

[PereRevert]

I see here distressor's used to compress Snare Drum, right ?

Just too curious to know the settings used by Chris.

Thanks to share

[DaveDaysJr]

wow just imagine.......you could leak the multitracks

[sonictimbo]

Chris's assistant looks awfully like Johnny Vegas!

[Malc180s]

Lots of gear, no doubt, but would it've sounded any worse without it?

[fezelington]

yes.

not necessarily worse, but very very different.

[19LC13]

haha 1:22 Who's next

[muffinclash]

Dude. The music is MADE for this sound!! Awesome shit. Sounds incredible.

[Ampb100]

no bus compressor from ssl.

id like a shadowhills. :(

[LiveWireJennaJo89]

I don't doubt it. That's insane.

[gantman]

Brick wall that shit.

[greenday1guitarfreak]

the song sounds different ...and good in the video

[abcdnubs]

it's unmastered and recorded with a camera mic so yea.

[lucasetten]

must be like 6 snr tracks

[stunew78]

an amazing specailised art form. awesome.

[gravitywinsagain]

after. this is in the mixing studio, they were printing the final mix for the song to go on the new album :)

[MessianicDreams]

holy shit. there is so much nice gear in that studio its unreal.

[thisisAB]

Wow I can't imagine remembering what each of those knob things does.

[LiveWireJennaJo89]

It makes me wonder if the producers controlling all those really know what all they do or if maybe they just sometimes pick a knob to turn to make it look like they do. :P

[abcdnubs]

they're all in strips with 48 of them for 48 inputs. if you know what each knob does in one strip, you know all the other 47 strips

[eliugreen]

this is where the album was mixed by the big Chris Lord-alge...

He's a genius, I even bought the jonas brotheers because it was mixed by him!

[crimsondynamoo]

I see my favorite Altec

[SushiConQueso]

Haha wattup Keith. Nice cackle at the end. Nice to see the G has remained.

[kivzzzz]

555 views hehehehhe

[SetOnOverdriveVideo]

[jinxfink]

[abcdnubs]

[bassboy17290]
