∞ Greg Price on mixing Ozzy Osbourne

Written by

Greg Price on Waves Live:

Today, I want to share with you the first steps I take in all projects I start. My first go-to tools are the Q10 Paragraphic EQ, SSL 4000 Collection, and the Renaissance plugins. These tools work for me on any type of DAW, console, Pro Tools session, or live mix that I am building. It is very important to realize that the Waves tools I use for my live show projects, translate to all my other media mixes. That said, let’s take a deeper look at the SSL 4000 Collection.

I’ve known Greg for a number of years and have spent time with him at several Ozzy concerts. He is one of the nicest, most professional people I have ever met in the business. I take every word he says to heart when I approach a mix.

    These days I’m not so sure it would be very hard to mix Ozzy up. :)

    What words exactly to you “take to heart” when you approach a mix?

    I get that he likes to use a high-cut and a low-cut on the vocals when mixing live, and then muck around with the presence and low mids. 

    The rest is just listing some Waves plug-ins. 

    Are you getting advertising revenue here?

    Or do you really mean that you use the same presets, and every live mix you do sounds like Ozzy?
