Step inside Studios La Fabrique for a workshop with the iconic mixer Chris Lord-Alge! In this series, CLA presents us with a variety of material from a number of renowned artists – vocals from Cheap Trick, guitars from Carrie Underwood and Breaking Benjamin, drums from Green Day, and piano from Muse. Each video focusses on a different part that is processed by Chris 100% ‘in the box’.
