word and rhythm have a quick word with henry saiz about this podcast and his setups...


W&R: Hi Henry! Thanks for getting involved with W&R – and thanks even more for recording our first ever podcast! Being a live performer do you think that has an effect on how you record your mixes? Do you try to record a mix that shows how you might perform live or is it more about the listening pleasure ?

henry saiz : Hi! Great to be on board. ;) Of course as a producer I try with every mix to create a complete experience and the general sound of the mix it´s also very important. The sound quallity is part of the listening pleassure.

W&R: What does your live setup involve and does any of this transfer into
your mixes ?

hs: My live set is laptop based, with a midi controller, synths and some other hardware tools. For dj sets I prefer to work with this digital gear too, don´t play vinyls or cds because I need tools like ableton live for making really creative sets, mixing for example 5 tracks with
maybe a loop from an old movie and a lot of audio tools, this is impossible with a couple of vinyls or cds...

w&R: are you planning any technical advances in your live setups ?

hs: My new live setup includes a vestax vcm-600 controller, an access virus snow for synths, a midi keyboard for playing some melodies, i even perform some melodies with my ipod-touch. I will include in this setup everything that can make better my performance.

w&r: How do you go about mastering your podcast ?
hs: With this one in particular I just did a pretty basic mastering, in wavelab, some limiting and compression for the master, nothing else. But every mix needs a specific treatment I think...

w&R: Whats the one thing you wish you could do more of in your live sets ?
hs: Maybe jumping more? Haha No, In the future I will include a real drummer
in my sets, sometimes I wish some band action in the shows.

NEXT MONTH: recording an exclusive mix for word and rhtyhm WRP002 is dada life
