Episode 2

The mix is set up, and Tony has put together some ideas for where he wants to take the mix. Continuing from part 1, Tony starts automating levels early in the process to begin building the foundation for his vision of "Lifeboats" and continues to perfect the individual tones to support the bigger picture.

See how Tony Maserati:

• Does quick, basic vocal rides to address the level differences between the verses and choruses
• Auditions multiple approaches to the bass guitar tone, and dials in the Thermionic Culture Vulture for texture on the DI
• Comes up with a plan of attack to transition emotionally and sonically from the bridge
• Sets up bus compression on his drum group
• Creates a parallel compression bus for the drums with an SSL bus compressor
• Discusses moving on from ideas
• Dials in a API-2500 on the bass bus
