This guy is borderline insane. He does literally crazy stuffs, things that other engineers would never think of and even would think his ideas are violations to audio rules. Look back when he used deEssers on drums. And now he lets all those annoying high ends on bass. But in the end, all ends up well, I don't know why. And we got Angels and Airwaves as one of the most well-produced bands ever.
Because there is no right way on producing music, but at the same time everything you do on it has to be with purpose and functional, and by the way he defines every tweak he did, he knows exac what he is doing
Tom mixed some of my music, which felt like an incredible privilege to have such a legend mix my stuff. He just makes anything he touches better. Also, the coolest guy you’ll ever meet.
Goes to show how isolated tracks for the most part aren't ear pleasing until they end up in the mix, its something i still catch myself focusing too much attention on
I suppose one way to arrive closer to that core character of the bass tone from the start would be to string up the bass with some light gauge strings and use a light gauge pick (all within reason and not too much that you lose too much fundamental). The lighter strings would lend to the brighter tone, coupled with the lighter pick accentuating that while also acting kind of like a compressor of it's own. Just a brainstorm, but that's what I would go for if I was to try to replicate it
Tom is great. Super creative mix engineer. Amazing how often the audio quality of the voice in videos about sound quality is so poor though. So much hum in TLA’s audio.
"It's not about the gear, it's about your ear". Well I guess you should get rid of those mix tables and expensive things and put tones of ears on your mixing room
I think he's actually quite different. He's like "I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing, but it sounds good." CLA is like "I'm the master, and what I'm doing sounds awesome."

Tom is out of this world!!! He is so good at what he does and such a cool individual that is impossible to not enjoy any of his videos!!
It was the chain of events!
That automated filter is gold
TLA is one of my favs.
I'm surprised he left in that insane high end whistle!

@@SKJESUS-qk5qyyea for real. That solo button is gonna be the death of me lol. A habit I’m trying to break haha
That vibrator effect!!
this is really cool
Grande Tom. 🙏🙌🔥
I had no idea this was the bass of the adventure until he played the drums along
The word "eccentric" comes to mind. He's great at what he does, but whoa.
I feel like that's me in my inside voice when working.
“just a subtle amount.”
“+15”
take a shot at every "chain of events"

Was he working on Blink's self titled too? Good works too
On that one, he mixed "Obvious", "I Miss You", "Down", and "All of This".
He mixed most of Enema of the State, too. Only Party Song and Wendy Clear he didn't mix.
2:20 - When you haven't had a drink in 6 hours... Haha!

I ran it through a vibrator 😂😂😂😂

Way to miss the point
Don’t like him as a teacher. Trying too hard to be his brother.
Not at all... this is just how Tom is.
Maybe CLA is trying to be Tom?^^
@@BigMuff75 or maybe... they're brothers!
@@djrenault I didn't bring this up...
