Tonebenders Podcast – 257 – The Art Of Recording And Mixing Score With Laurence Anslow:

Laurence Anslow, who recently recorded and mixed the score for the recent “Percy Jackson” series and also worked on “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire”, joins us this week.  He is at the top of the game, and yet his workflows as a score recordist and mixer, are a complete mystery to many in audio post.  So I asked him to come on the show and talk us through what a orchestral score recording session is like, how he delivers his tracks and who he is interacting with the most from the rest of the sound team. I learned a lot while talking with Laurence and I hope you are able to gain a bunch of knowledge as well.

Composer Lennie Moore wrote such gorgeous music for “Outcast – A New Beginning” that it made me mad, no exaggeration. It’s so pleasing harmonically with fantastic melodies and transitions, and outstanding musicianship from the soloists and performers. Live choir, live soloists, live orchestra – and you can tell. The music has breath and life.
