NAMM Day 1 - Ask your Questions to the Guest Speakers

@Alan_Meyerson Big fan of your work! In your experience, how common is the practice of film composers composing in quad (as Hans Zimmer does) as opposed to composing in stereo? What are your thoughts and preferences?

Thank you!

Also, please do more sessions with Mix with the Masters! Those DUNE videos are awesome! :slight_smile:

@Andrew_Scheps What was the biggest challenge for you, when you first started out?

@iankirkpatrick What are the common challenges you face today?
Are they what you expected?

@Andrew_Scheps Hi Andrew! What is your opinion on the future of AI in mixing/mastering? Do you think there will be AI plugins capable of mixing entire songs without any knowledge whatsoever?

@Teezio When did you know, you were doing something right?

@iankirkpatrick What were some of the mistakes you made at an early stage in your productions that, once you became aware of them and fixed them, you noticed an increase in the quality of your productions?

Hi Ian
Iā€™m a big fan of your work, especially your collaboration with Dua Lipa on ā€˜Donā€™t Start Nowā€™ from the ā€˜Future Nostalgiaā€™ album. The bass in that track is incredibly powerful and distinctive, making it a standout element. Can you share some insights into how you approached mixing and producing the bass sounds for this song? Specifically, how did you make the bass one of the main instruments in the mix, and what techniques did you use to achieve that unique tone and powerful presence?

For Ian: Iā€™ve heard you mention using the LA3A a few times in this talk. Why the LA3A over other vocal compressors like the CL-1B or LA2A/1176?

Hi, @MWTM_Admin ! Where can I find first and second parts of translation (with Andrew Scheps and Tchad Blake)?
