We caught up with Grammy award-winning mix engineer Andrew Scheps at the recent AES Convention in Los Angeles. With credits ranging from Adele to Jay-Z, via Black Sabbath and Johnny Cash, Scheps is one of the most sought-after mix engineers out there. We get his opinion on in-the-box mixing, getting started in the industry and also find out more about his unconventional approach to using compression.
