Tchad Blake's work on Peter Gabriel's 'UP' album is simply sublime. Unbelievable sounding album. :)

I love this guy. So sincere and honest with his answers, and as he answered them he seemed to genuinely care as he answered. And no BS about analog, digital, sample rates. He just wants to make music! Brilliant.

I think I'm in love with this guy.

Who wouldn't !!! Its the master speaking.

Love the explanation with keeping expectations away when mixing and opening up to the mixes own sound 👌

Tchad is an example of the idea that good mixing is really just about following your own taste and sense of enthusiasm/curiosity.

Thanks for sharing the knowledge Tchad Blake! #SansAmp

My favorite one, such a nice guy!

i am glad that PSP pops up here and there....really high quality plugs...etc.

"All music is is communicating." Genius.

Hi Tchad, I love you.

I really like Tchads comment on sansamp as a tool for phase ‘manipulation’ A lot of people steer clear of them because of the phase shift. But if one is cognescent of the phase shift (and uses along side phase alignment and pass filters) then one can use the phase shift to purposefully ‘sculpt’ the sound. Great stuff.

I also LOVE that bit of honesty and humility when he says ‘my ears aren’t that good…if you pull up one 16bit 44.1 file and one 96k…I couldn’t tell the difference. I think if we all had the humility that Tchad does, we would recognise that our ears are deeply fallible. Very inspiration. We overthink things too much when we should focus on being creative.

I LOVE HIM!

Great to hear him speak his knowledge

wonderful !

He just called the last guy animal on his face with class. LMFAO!!!

Tchad is helping these guys by refusing to name certain things; he's trying to get people to find their own processes instead of thinking you can "check a box" to make a good recording by using X plugin or technique, etc.

The Picasso of the audio world.

Does anyone know what are the bluetooth binaural mic-headphones he shows at 24:40 ?

Hey horowizard, looks like your question @13:18 is not as you explained it to me on my channel comments (which I since removed due to your stupidity). Tchad isn't siding with your POV, he's refusing to comment or pass judgment on a video he hasn't seen. My video is on exploring the Tchad mixing [not recording] technique, so you got that wrong. Secondly, telling me that Tchad thought I was 'nuts', I see now he was just reacting to your poorly framed question. The people who know me and who actually watch my channel understand how much I love Tchad. If I've misrepresented his approach (to the best of my knowledge of it) in my video "How To Tchad Blake Your Drums", then may he correct me here.

The funny thing is that the guy's question was so charged, you can hear it in his voice as he's asking the "question", that he wasn't even listening to the answer and completely confused the issue! The following question is what he was trying to ask and was perfectly answered by Tchad. I checked your video, and it matches up with what Tchad does in his Mix With The Masters video (inside the mix Shadow Puppets). Keep up the good work. Cheers

Tchad Blake let me know quite clearly you were nuts off camera, after the presentation was finished and we spoke privately. Do you really think you know everything based on a two minute sound bite from a public Q & A? And, what's to say? If he's going to correct you, then direct him to your original video, but I seriously doubt it's even worth his time.

@Diego Oliveira Bullshit, Diego. You really think I didn't know? Either you're putting me on or you are oblivious to sarcasm. How clueless is that? I'd been using the Tech 21 SansAmp for 5 years before I even heard of Tchad Blake. And that was the real deal, not the plug-in.

Not only was that a shit question, you also came off as obsequious. I think Soundbooth Tutorials was just making a video to demonstrate a Tchad Blake style sound, which he did a fine job with. You're treating that video as if he said "TCHAD BLAKE IS A FRAUD SEE LOOK HOW EASY IT IS TO GET HIS SOUND." I don't understand why you'd have such a problem with a video that's just trying to educate and provide people with a new trick

Man these questions are the most frustrating ever. they're sitting in front of a legend and that's all they're getting out of him.

Great guys, like Mr. Blake, walk the line between appearing to not know shit and being the shit.

These people are asking the worst questions ever 😳

I have both, SansAmp Classic pedal and Decapitator. I bought both influenced by Tchad. I prefer Decapitator. I never liked Sans Amp the way Tchad uses it. I may not be good enough to squeeze the sound he gets, because I love his records.

2:36 How depressing is it that an internationally known act like Los Lobos doesn't have enough budget to pay both a studio and Tchad?

le chad mixing engineer

why the andrew scheps live video was deleted??

i dont want any of those that made queation to tchad near my music.....wow they live in limbo land

his first workshop had better questions...are you putting it out as well?

Hooke Audio

Maybe the best engineer + the best HUMAN BEING in the whole show, and all he gets is a bunch of lame questions from people who can't even address pdc problems....

Guy talking about sansamp and polarity and how he’s doing it wrong defeats the purpose of this q and a. Tchad obviously preaches to experiment and this guy is looking for only his way.

in a nutshell adding to mr chad blake, USE YOUR EARS!

will he ever get his voice back?

Oh wow, I didn't know he had cancer. I mean there's nothing wrong with his current voice, I watched his more recent videos before I saw the older ones and I didn't know what happened.

amazing how people have the ability to ask such stupid things (sometimes), and mixers always turn shit questions into something useful.

Batman....

his secret: he puts as much distortion on all of his tracks as there is on his voice

Damn the guy is superb. The whole thing is just so embarrassing and he keeps being nice

Can we get a high pass on his mic? Great vid tho!

Why are we still talking about consoles vs. in the box and analog vs. digital? Digital has murdered analog, everybody's mostly in the box, bla bla bla, why does it remain a topic???

Luuk Meijwaard notice it's not a topic amongst the pros? It's always brought up by the up and comers and I think it's because they are trying to blame their lack of gear for being he reason their work doesn't sound as good, as opposed to their lack of ability and experience.

Everyone loves to talk about gear, big deal. Analog does sound better but digital is really good as well and it's so much easier. I personally recommend hybrid but digital is like 90% of what I do. However I would highly recommend mastering at a studio that runs it through (at least some) analog gear.

And six years later, we’re still talking about it. Why? Because digital has not “destroyed“ analog. In terms of convenience and economics? Sure . But not overall depth of sound and quality. We’re still watching side-by-side comparisons of plug-ins vs what they were modeled from - and they always fall short.

In the box? Is that just a fancy nickname for a home studio? If it is then that's pointless jargon.

I feel you, and I actually had to google "in the box+mixing" while listening to Blake and Schelp talking. Though I think the expression is a good example of how language is used to express thought and feelings. It could be denounced as pointless jargon, but it's also a pretty stupid way, but still, a way for these guys to identify eachother. Their space, their bubble, their history. And even though we could try to filter out the jargon, these expressions (social markers in a broader sense) probably will find their way out - one way or the other. When any expression like this is used, We who don't understand it could feel left outside. It's not a pleasant feeling. But there's at least a couple of options for coping with that. 1) you could complain about it, or confront him why he don't say 'computer'??? 2) you could start using the expression yourself. And that may or may not result in the acceptance, because you're maybe not old enough and you'd appear as some light weight leaf in the wind (i.e. non genuine). 3a) understand (ask or study) but don't use the expression. 3b) kind of understand and write a social science essay as a response to a 3 year old youtube comment. etc) etc) probably many more... haha
