BIOGRAPHY
Andrew Scheps has an incredible career of achievements, which incorporates a credit
list featuring Red Hot Chili Peppers, Adele, Metallica, Black Sabbath, Michael Jackson,
Robbie Robertson, Justin Timberlake, Iggy Pop, U2, Jay-Z, and many more, as well as
several Grammy Awards.

Schep's work on the Red Hot Chili Pepper's album Stadium Arcadium in 2005 was a turning
point for his approach to engineering. He found the band's decision to record and mix
entirely in analogue so alluring that he fitted his Punkerpad West studio with two Neve
8068 desks to go with his wall of analogue outboard. Scheps continued to work like this
until the fall of 2013. Scheps was offered a project to mix, and because he was still
in France, he had the choice of passing on the work or working in the box. He opted for
the latter, and found what he initially regarded as a one-off, was much more attractive
than anticipated.

"Going back into the box wasn't a sonic decision, but I actually rediscovered that I
really like it. It's great to be able to work on three or four songs at the same time.
I have not gone back to working on the desk since then. While I miss some of the
visceral hands-on aspects of the console, there is a lot of creative freedom working
this way. It might seem like a drastic change, but it is only the tools that have
changed: remarkably my philosophy and sound have stayed the same".

This latest dramatic change in his working methods has allowed Scheps to redefine the
way he blends old-style and new working methods and technology. He continues to apply
this in his mixes, and also as an engineer and producer.
