I'm not a Protools user. I think you need to learn it in college. Same company as the Avid movie editor.
Larry Crane came up as recorder of Elliot Smith and many Northwest breakthrough musicians, he created TapeOp which surfed the early lo-fi and DIY recording equipment waves. Andrew Scheps started on the road with Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson before becoming a famous mixer and producer.
The theme of the interview is the last stage of a protools project: printout of all the release formats. In Protools everything is bits. There might be 200 versions for delivery. Scheps has built his own Protools automation UI overlay called Bounce Factory built on Soundflow to get into the Protools API. They also discuss the economics of the boutique pro-audio/pro-musician HW and SW makers. They discuss experience in ATMOS. They talk multichannel playback history. Discussion of analog summing vs digital summing networks in mixing. The last is a study they did using an Audio Precision of an analog EQ and the digital emulation of it. The found the difference in perceived sound was highly influenced by a high pass and low pass filter. Finally they talk the pros and cons of in-the-box vs an analog workflow and the evolution of in-the-box software.
Definitely shop talk and not a familiar topic to most.

Episode 70: Andrew Scheps - Tape Op Podcast Episode 70
In issue #133 of Tape Op I interviewed Andrew Scheps about mixing, and his work with artists like Adele, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Hozier. It's been about 4 years, and we wanted to catch up, so I dropped him a line for this podcast. Andrew has recently developed a Pro Tools "bolt on"...
