Odrizz is a mixing and mastering engineer based in Berlin, Germany. Early in his career, he participated in a seminar with MixedByAli in Los Angeles, CA, where he captured Ali's interest and had the opportunity to follow and learn from him.
Throughout his career, Odrizz has worked with international artists such as Vory, Vince Staples, Westside Boogie, and many more. He is currently the in-house engineer for FUTURA, working out of his own room directly next to Miksu/Macloud in their newly built studio. His latest work includes mixing and mastering songs for Levin Liam, Ski Aggu, Gola Gianni, and others.
In this interview, we delve into his approach to Mixbus processing on the song "so k.o." by Levin Liam, Miksu/Macloud, and JEREMIAS.
"I don't work with fixed settings. While I tend to use the same tools to get the job done, it is crucial to listen and work with purpose."
The Sontec EQ dips a little a low mid build-up, opening up the mix a bit and providing clarity.
A very slight low shelf at 80Hz, but mainly due to even-order harmonics with the PreAmp on the MixBus. Makes the mix more 3D. Compression is turned off.
Gulfoss setting emulated in combination with Mystic achieves for me what a good tube compressor (such as the DW Fearn VT7) does: cleans up the mix, dynamically boosts the key of the song, and removes minimal resonances.
In this case, I lightly saturate the mids, bringing the vocals slightly forward and adding warmth and fullness. (It is important that the "De-Emphasis" button is enabled so that you are boosting in parallel only with harmonics, effectively canceling out the parallel EQ part of this plugin.)
With the God Particle I glue the mix together, and I like the EQ curve and the harmonics that the GP brings. The limiter occasionally catches the peaks (about 1.5db)
Pro-L 2 is the limiting (max 0.7db at the hottest points). The all-round mode works very well for me in the low end. True peak set to -0.2.
