Dive into the experimental soundscapes of Low Roar – the groundbreaking musical collaboration between Andrew Scheps, Mike Lindsay and the late American songwriter Ryan Karazija. In this new episode, Andrew deconstructs one of the band’s critically acclaimed tracks and offers an in-depth look at his latest production and mixing techniques.

Andrew provides a comprehensive overview of his advanced Pro Tools template.
