Creating Space for Heaviness: Andrew Scheps on Metal Mixing Techniques | HIMMP Interview

Описание: In this HIMMP interview, Andrew Scheps reveals why guitar-centric approaches dominate modern metal heaviness, contrasting with traditional rock's reliance on kick and bass for weight.

This interview is part of the Heaviness in Metal Music Production (HIMMP) research project based at the University of Huddersfield, UK, and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), grant reference AH/T010991/1. Led by Dr. Jan Herbst and Dr. Mark Mynett, HIMMP examines the technological, sonic, and perceptual dimensions of heaviness in recorded metal music. The project brings together insights from world-leading producers, engineers, and academics to document how heaviness is created and transformed across different production eras. Through these interviews with industry professionals like Scheps, HIMMP bridges theoretical knowledge with practical application in professional audio contexts.
