the Elephant and Chad Blake with a T. Um...
JMHOST
The Arcs are an associated artist.
JMHOST
I feel like that's somebody you know.
Jon EstesGUEST
I'm not saying that's what makes my favorite mixes.
Jon EstesGUEST
I mean, my favorite guys are the crazy guys like Sean Everett and Chad Blake and Nigel Goderich and stuff.
Jon EstesGUEST
But what makes a good mix, and I think about this when I'm mixing, is am I allowing the song to succeed? Am I giving it the chance to get 100 million streams? I don't want something I'm doing to be the reason it didn't do well.
Mike IndovinaHOST
So I think that's an interesting way of looking at it.
Jon EstesGUEST
There's a place for everybody.
Jon EstesGUEST
There's a place for your Serbans and your Mannys.
Jon EstesGUEST
And there's a place for your Chad Blakes.
Jon EstesGUEST
And it's beautiful.
J.D. SimoGUEST
in the early 90s, made a Latin Playboys record, the first one.
J.D. SimoGUEST
He made two or three, but the first one is a Desert Island record for me, and it's a bunch of demos he made, and then a very young Chad Blake, who has gone on to become now the sound of modern great music, Alabama Shakes and lots of other stuff, as a mixer producer.
J.D. SimoGUEST
but he was a young man, and he took all of David's demos and made them into this kaleidoscope of sound, and this is all way pre-digital, so it's even more impressive that he did it all analog.
J.D. SimoGUEST
So the first Latin Playboys record is an amazing record.
Lyd ShawHOST
So it's a really exciting way to take all those drum sounds.
Lyd ShawHOST
And, you know, are you a Chad Blake fan? Is that sort of like your world too? Absolutely.
Greg GiorgioGUEST
He's one of the best, right? I love his interviews also.
Greg GiorgioGUEST
I love his work.
50 MINS LATER
Greg GiorgioGUEST
And then it distorts the crap out of it.
Greg GiorgioGUEST
Now you get sort of like sort of a full sounding distortion, but it is, a big muff changes the phase so i think that like uh you know in this other example the sans amp plug-in if you try to do that parallel it actually changes the phase you'll hear it um decapitator does not change the phase you could do that thing that i just talked about with decapitator um there are a whole bunch that work and a whole bunch that don't work you'd have to just try it you hear it really so
Lyd ShawHOST
let me let me comment on sans amp because that of course Chad Blake, we got to give him the shout out again.
Lyd ShawHOST
He introduced me to the Sands app.
