Chris Lord-Alge is an American mix engineer. He is the brother of both Tom Lord-Alge and Jeff Lord-Alge, both of whom are also audio engineers. Chris and Tom are known for their abundant use of dynamic compression for molding mixes that play well on small speakers and FM radio.[1][2] Lord-Alge frequently collaborates with Howard Benson, who has produced the plurality of his mix discography.[3]
Lord-Alge continued to mix for Turner throughout the 90's.[6] During this time he also provided mixing services for Neil Diamond's Tennessee Moon.[7] In 1997, he mixed Green Day's Nimrod, marking the beginning of a continued relationship with the band, mixing the Grammy-winning albums American Idiot (2004) and 21st Century Breakdown (2009).
In early 2010, Waves Audio released the "CLA Artist Signature Collection", a collection of six application-specific audio plug-ins for vocals, drums, bass, guitar and the last two of them called "unplugged" (designed for acoustic elements) and "effects" (a collection of six different effects).[10][11] Waves had previously released a bundle of CLA-branded compressors, featuring the CLA-76 (UREI 1176LN), CLA-2A (Teletronix LA-2A) and CLA-3A (UREI LA-3A). These are among Chris' favorite dynamics units.[12]
