I'm very honored and privileged to sit down with the wonderful Graham Coxon, lead guitarist of Blur and Thomas Gray, who builds custom guitars for legendary guitarists like Tim Renwick and many others!
Graham gives us many amazing insights into Blur's production and songwriting process and you'll learn various ways to spark your creativity when writing songs, and tips on finding your own unique voice with your music!
Graham and Thomas were also kind enough to give us a detailed walkthrough of their guitar setup, and show us how to achieve a wide variety of great guitar tones, from Jazz to heavy sounds, creating ambient textures and country/bluegrass. You'll get the combined knowledge of not only one of the best guitarists in the world, but also a well versed custom guitar manufacturer!

It's always fantastic to talk to one of the most influential guitar players of the '90s, Mr Graham Coxon! With Blur, Graham helped launch Brit Pop! His amazingly creative guitar parts and incredible use of guitar pedals set the tone and became the standard for us all! Thomas Gray is a wonderful guitar maker, making some of the most beautiful guitars I've ever played! He grew up with a Rock Royalty Father, the incredible Nigel Gray, Producer of the first 3 Police albums! What a legacy!
Like that Graham bigs up Alex, definitely an underrated bassist. He's a big part of their sound
Agreed 100%!! Huge fan of Alex and his wonderful playing!
Man the 90s! What a time to be a teenager. So many great albums and modern life is rubbish is a classic. I honestly think blur never did a bad album.
Agreed 109%!
Makes such a change. Fantastic interview. Really relaxed. Great player. No pretence, just pure love of music.
Thanks ever so much! I had a great time talking with Graham and Thomas!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
please have Damon Albarn for an interview too! and Alex James
That would be amazing
Seriously!? When did this interview happen?! Wow! I love Blur. I grew up listening to them and the Life defining album Modern Life is Rubbish. One of the greatest album of all time to me. I never knew Graham was so talkative. I usually heard Damon talking, hahahaha!
Yes, Graham is a great guy and very interesting to talk too! Wonderful guitarist!
I agree....what a great time to come of age. Technology, skill, songwriting and the height of analog tape sound with the backdrop of all of our original sounds to mine from. Love Graham’s soul.
I just love the BAE hot fuzz just chill'n on the desk..glorious! Graham is the man!
Thanks! Yes, amazing pedal!
Love the bit about the Coffee & TV solo. The story reminded me of XTC's Complicated Game from Drums & Wires. Andy Partridge played that solo without listening to the backing track, just "Go!" then "Stop!" He only did the one take, and he knew he had it right because he saw Dave Gregory laughing his arse off through the control room window. The music of chance.
Hi Robinski!! How are you my friend? Love the idea of music being chance! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Very well mate, we should get the kids together soon (I know, I say that every time). Also, YOU LUCKY BASTARD, getting to chat with Graham Coxon! Definitely one of my favourite musicians.
Hi Robin, that all sounds lovely! Yes indeed, Graham is a wonderful player and a complete sweetheart! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Wow thanks Graham Warren and Thomas for a wonderful interview !!
Thanks very much Darlene!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I love seeing these and Graham is a really interesting man.
Yes! Thanks ever so much!
Love guitars, Graham and Blur. Awesome stuff! Thanks Graham, Thomas and Warren!
Thanks noisesoundtonevibe!! Yes, Graham and Thomas Rock! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Wonderful video! Graham Coxon is a guitar god. His dexterity and range from his metal squalls on "Bugman" to jangles/chord progressions on MLIR and more just make him so unique. Your interplay in this interview is wonderful. Glad to see you're engaging on on all fronts! Keep up the great work.
Thanks ever so much! Agreed! I cannot ever state how important his p;saying on 'Modern Life Is Rubbish' was. It made it ok for all of us to reference The Beatles, XTC and even Progressive Rock in our music! Groundbreaking album! Also important to recognise it came before The Bends!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Living in Europe in the 90's it was impossible not to get drawn into the blur oasis controversy. For me it was blur. I only knew the music. Couple years ago ran into a documentary about the Blur reunion for Glastonbury where I could really dig into each one of the band members. I then realized how distinctive each one of those guys are. Each one is a really unique character. That's what makes Blur one of the greatest bands of all time! It was clear though from that doc that Graham was the mad scientist. So happy to see this great interview.
Graham is my favourite gutiarist ever. Really good interview. Well done.
This was such a joy to watch, thanks Warren. I spent most of the 90's at Parlophone in London watching Blurs incredible journey, worked with Numan for several years and saw The Undertones last week so this was an amazing trip down memory lane. Graham's still a guitar god too. 😊
Thanks ever so much Tony for the great comment and the insight! Yes, agreed, great band, wonderful music and YES The Undertones!! What an incredible band! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
hEY gRAHAM,,,finally learned all your licks after all these years...wow you was very ambitious with the hammer on's in the 90's..great chords used..nothing but love..ps my sister loves you..has since 94...ferk me too..you've been such and influence musically and you may not know it....such great song writing..you and damon...nuff respect dude..your a true gent
Brilliant. Thank you
Thanks vey much Charles! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Without doubt one of your best ever interviews
Thanks very much Stephen! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I just heard Coxon play Blackmore and now I can die happy.
came over as a fan of graham/blur, but also as a person who has recently returned to playing guitar after a good chunk of my (so far short) life. though a lot of the jargon is lost on me, this conversation between all of you has been fascinating and enlightening at the very least. i've seen thomas and graham's gray guitar videos together, so thanks for kind of expanding further on their sessions in your own way!
Hi Danielle, thanks ever so much for your extremely kind words! So glad you enjoyed the video! Graham and Thomas were fascinating to talk to you!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Fantastic! What a great conversation. How about a part II with all you three?!
Hoping to hear a new Graham Coxon album in 2017/18
Hi Mark, I agree that wool be pretty fine indeed! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Haha love these types of interviews! It's great to hear all these stories and experiences from great players
Hi Hayden, thanks very much!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Amazing interview with one the true greats
Thanks very much IWant Appledumplings!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Fantastic interview, very interesting and delightful to hear Graham, a seasoned pro, talk about watching and being infliuenced by these videos himself. Reminds us that even the pros, and I'm sure Warren himself, always have that desire and interest to learn more.
Yes, I was very happy to hear that as well!!
They had such good stories and anecdotes! And they were both so nicee i loved it, thanks for posting
Thanks ever so much Luchi! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Brilliant video. Graham Coxon is my all time favorite guitar player and in turn Blur one of my favorite bands....if not my favorite.
Also respect the work you've done Warren.
I'm a young musician from Bristol and funnily enough a friend of the drummer of the Groundhogs! he's still playing and would be very honored to be mentioned here amongst the 70s alumni I'm sure!
totally disagree with the extra switches and knobs on guitars though, offset fenders 4 lyfe
Hi Warren. Only just discovered this video. Really enjoyable. Three great guys. Being from a slightly older generation (yes, I remember the Beatles' first airing live on Ed Sullivan) I only stumbled onto Graham Coxon a few weeks ago via That Pedal Show with Dan and Mick. Truly lovely guy. Humble, inquisitive, essentially creative. As we say in the U.S., very unpretentious and down to earth. So now I have Blur (special edition) and his acoustic album. Both superb. I get it. Also, I join you in the wonderful Spitfire obsession, perhaps due to heritage. My father was first born in U.S. From my Grandfather on back, it was all Londoners. So many models as a child and even a Cox gas powered one, a beast with about a 3 1/2 foot wingspan you controlled via a handle and small cables while standing in the middle as it circled round and round, only controlling climb and dive. Childhood dream of laying eyes on one was realized 10 years ago at the Smithsonian. But one of life's miracles was witnessed last summer on a trip to Duxford, all arranged by my incredible wife, specifically to see and hear them in the air. No words can possibly describe the thrill. At one point there were 18 Spitfires, seven Hurricanes and a B-17 in the air all at once. Incomparable thrill. By the way, your piston is really a valve. It let exhaust gasses out of the chamber. Pistons are much larger. Back to music, because of education from That Pedal Show, I now have a Morgan AC20 Deluxe Amp (incredible AC30 tone but watts variable from 1/4 watt to 20 watts: Brilliant!) and a Hudson Electronics Broadcast on the board. Hard to find in the U.S. but it's worth the effort. Small wonder Graham and Thomas enjoy them. Thank you for all your efforts. If you ever feel like home cooking in Northern California, hit me up. Cheers, mate.
I LOVE Graham... from the RAMONES to BOSTON!!!!
Great episode!!
So true about Alex James, severely underrated
Agreed! Thanks ever so much!
*Warren:* where did you grow up Graham?
*Graham:* proceeds to tell his entire life story
😂😂
So glad he did! Graham Rocks! Haha Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Produce Like A Pro I'm happy he did too! Such an interesting man! And you did such a great job. You can tell that you genuinely were interested in what he had to say which is rare.
Aw shucks thanks Musicsavedme! Graham is the real deal, someone who is passionate abut music, all music, draws influences from many places! It was a distinct pleasure to be able to hear his journey! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I'm glad to hear Graham enjoyed the Andy Partridge sessions! I've read in a few places that the band hated those sessions and were determined to keep the recordings under wraps!
hope oneday meet and recordwith him he's my favorite guitar player and hes part of my favorite band blur!
Wow! This is ace. Thank you.
Thank you ever so much! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
My fave interview up to now mate
Thanks very much Carl! I really appreciate it!! Yes, Graham and Thomas are a joy to talk to! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
This is great UA-cam. Nice touch that Alex gets an appreciative mention.
Thank you so much. Greetings from Oslo, Norway
Thank you! Hello to you in Oslo!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Great interview Warren, and very insightful. I often see Graham out and about in Camden Town where I live. A smashing fella. I had beer with him at the Dublin Castle music venue in 1990 after doing a shared gig. I wonder what became of his band...Take care.
Hi Steve, yes Graham is a lovely fella! I played the Dublin Castle myself quite a few times, also the Waterats! Fun times! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
The goal is as it's always been since the dawn of time. To learn how it's done only to find your own way. It's always the best plan to find out why we do something instead of just using a preset.
Fantastic - such an interesting discussion. Thanks for bringing us all these fantastic videos Warren.
Thanks ever so much Roger! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I loved this, I've never really heard Graham talk so much! It's his fault, along with Steve Craddock and James Dean Bradfield, that I'm a total guitar geek. Thanks for another great video Warren!
Thanks Whisper Thief! It's a huge pleasure to be able to talk with Graham, yes, agreed Graham's playing was a huge deal for many of us in the mid early 90's, before the Bends, Modern Life Is Rubbish borrowed from many different genres and opened up a world of styles to us! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
2021- Hi from Brasil. Thanks a lot
So much brilliance! I don't know where to start describing the revelations in this video. Of course, when you start talking innovative guitar design I'm all in. That Tele with P90s is like a guitar that I would have made myself. And coil trim rather than coil cut should have been obvious, but it never occurred to me.
Hi Ken, I agree! Great guitars! Very intuitive designs!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Another great interview Warren, keep up the good work!
Thanks ever so much much!1 Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Wow! Graham GREAT guitar player. LOVED his work with Blur. How cool you interviewed him Warren :-)
Agreed GreenGo! Extremely creative guitar player! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I have a wish. Interview Nigel Godrich.
Yes, indeed, that would be amazing! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
This is a pretty big video for me. I've been a huge Blur fan forever. Modern Life Is Rubbish was the first album I bought from them. I love all their albums. 13 is one of the greatest albums for me. The whole interview speaks my language. Wire are gods. XTC are amazing. "Thank Christ For The Bomb" is one of the greatest songs in history. The Left Banke were amazing. Micheal Brown is one of most underrated songwriters in history and "Walk Away Renee" and "Pretty Ballerina" should be required listening. I could go on for way too long, if I haven't already. Pink Fairies were amazing. Loved everything about this interview.
Thanks Laton! I agree! Parklife was a huge commercial success, Modern Life Is Rubbish fuelled a whole generation of musicians! Great!! Yes, The Groundhogs and XTC!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I saw Blur in 1991 at the EMI Food Christmas Party at Brixton Academy. Diesel Park West, Jesus Jones and Blur (I think Sensitize too). Was a fantastic day. Me and my wife say this was in our Top 5 gigs. In 1990 to 1993 we probably went to 2-3 gigs a week.
Great stuff Lee! I agree, great live band! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
love the stuff you put out there ..
Thanks ever so much Ben!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Thanks Rage By Nightfall! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Awesome! I love Blur and Coxon. Seems like a great guy and he's such a creative guitarist and writer. I'd love to hear some production know-how from Stephen Street if you ever get the chance to have him on!
Thanks very much katanaswordfish! Yes indeed, Graham is a great guy and Thomas rules!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
katanaswordfish Watch the Gray Guitars video where I talk to Graham and Stephen Street about production and the 'Blur' album!
Yes indeed! That's a wonderful video! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Here's the link katanaswordfish, ua-cam.com/video/8n8k0fB82nU/v-deo.html
Very cool! Thank you both for taking the time to do these videos, and please pass our appreciation on to Graham and your other guests on behalf of the viewers. It's *always* a truly amazing experience to hear artists comment on their work, the process, etc. Honestly, I can't get enough! Needless to say I've subscribed to you both. Have a good one.
Warren many thanks for such a fantastic interview. Graham is one of the most influential guitarists for me. A total game changer. Keep up the good work at your UA-cam channel!
Thanks ever so much Rafael! You Rock! Agreed, Graham is a wonderful musician! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I also appreciate how you reply every message on your youtube posts. It creates a sense of community. Keep sharing that knowledge Warren! Until next time! :)
Hi Rafael Graterol exactly! I really am a fan of our community! Such an amazing group of guys and girls! Have a marvelous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
Never imagine Richie Kotzen would mentioned in conversation with Graham Coxon! The other guitar player guy is 5 yrs older than me and his taste is almost perfectly fit with mine. From Nirvana, Blur, Radiohead, Soundgarden, QOTSA, Richie Kotzen, Greg Howe, John Coltrane, etc.. Man, this is great chat! Graham Coxon is my all time guitar hero too, whatever he play even random are always inspiring! I kinda have dream though what it would be if Graham Coxon collaborate with Guthrie Govan or Greg Howe, Graham write the song / main riffs and melody, and the shredder will jamming crazy fusion in solo section, that would be awesome!
Have an awesome weekend Warren
Thanks very much Stan! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
'pulling velcro apart' was a great way to describe the germanium sound
Wow, the Sly bass sounds exactly like the one he used on "Fresh", one of my fav albums ever.
Yes, amazing Bass! I borrowed it for a year and used it on many albums!!
Played Matt's home made 'Matt-A-Boogie' amp back in the Warwick days. Sounded great back then, God knows what his stuff must sound like today. Super talented guy. Matt did FOH occasionally for the band I was in at the time. Tell him 'Papa' says hello next time you see him and does he still have the Zappa Nose T-Shirt...
Fantastic!! Yes Matt is AMAZING!! Such a great guy and a huge talent!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Such a cool video! Great interview!
Aw shucks thanks ever so much Eric!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Brilliant ,this is what music is about>>>>I could take 5 hours of this>>
AW shucks thanks ever so much John!! You Rock!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
The Broadcast full on sounded like you could get a Beatles "Revolution" sound (one of my favorite guitar tones). +++ Re: The BAE pedal described as "Velcro-ee" (a new tonal adjective). Love that! ----- New length record for this one I think. "It's all rather fun!"
Hi Loren, thanks ever so much for the great comment! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
My 17 year old son asked me who my favorite guitarist is and I said Graham. He asked "Not Greenwood?" And I said I loved Greenwood, but to me Graham's playing and riffs spoke to me way earlier than Johnny's did. I wasn't a fan of Creep but I was a fan of Leisure and Modern Life is my favorite Blur record. Graham is just different. But I love Johnny Greenwood to no end, but it's Graham to me.
Great interview! Love Graham, great bloke, amazing musician.
Had a bit of a giggle at the end (twisted humour), when he says hes not into buying mega expensive gear. Must be why Grays "gifted" him a 3 grand guitar. Lol
Also more top stuff from Warren. Of what i understand i get a great deal from.
Hello, thank you so much for this interview, Graham will back next year ? It's a brilhant notice, I'm Braziliam watching you.
Hi Andre! Thanks very much!! Have a marvelous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
Mines all real instriments but I'm no virtuoso but its so fun getting better on the other instruments and inspired by the different instruments too I don't know how that actually works but for some reason I come up with new and different types of riffs on the bass compared to guitar the bass inspires me in different ways.
Bloody Marrrvelous. Better than TV these days.⚡️
Hi BAT HEAVY aw shucks thanks ever so much! Graham and Thomas are both amazing!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Exactly right. I'm watching this instead of the news right now.
Aw shucks thanks Loren!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Stina Nordenstam, one of my all time favorite artists!
Yes! So glad you know who that is!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Got to get Stina on then to talk about working with David Sylvian and Brett Anderson
there is so much in this that i loved.....i may be an anglophile when it comes to music taste .that said
portishead dummy is one of my favorite records
"people like you make it a bit easier" (i watch all your videos too)
talking of limitations
i have an idea for the academy...toby davis talked us into a challenge with plugins and it was really amazing experience .
would be great to have limitations imposed on us ...yada yada this months song is ..blank for extra credit try to treat as 4 track and commit to sound then bounce for example
or shoot for an martin zero style ....sort of knock us off our comfort stool
Yes! That's a great idea! I was thinking the same thing!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
1:14:23 love that bass through the fuzz pedal, sounds phat at 1:16:03
Thanks very much Andrew!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Speaking of 'Chairs Missing' notice Damon's vocal intonation at the outset of 'Villa Rosie' is conciously/deliberately cribbed from Wire's 'Practice Makes Perfect' Superb interview guys!
Seems I'm a little late to the party - I could watch this for hours more. Did you guys meet up again and do another video? Love it! Ian
Another fab guest interview, I loved this one. Interesting the bit about obsessing over drum track tightness and quantizing with today's music (I'm guilty as well) because of creating midi Ezdrummer backing before I lay guitars and bass down, but then you mention Numan and his band played synths live along to live drums creating that extra dynamic. You can actually hear the time slips in the drumming on Are 'Friends' Electric, I've always noticed that for years with that song. Is there a happy medium? We're never happy :)
Hi Rob, great comment! My answer is to get the best live performance you can without editing, if it means punching in an fixing then great! That's what we always did! It's really that simple! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Well since graham said it, I guess I'll have to subscribe 😄
It's amazing to hear Pinhead (Ramones) played by Graham... a dream come true
God Bless The Ramones!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Love this interview. "I do not understand who does not has a passion for music" love it.
Yes indeed Peter! Thanks for the great commenT! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I find that being a muti instrumentalists is pretty sweet for being creative because each instrument brings out a different piece of creativity out of me.
HAHA! He said, my bible is the Beatles! That's fantastic!
Hi Matt, yes indeed, musically speaking that may well be true for many people! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Yeah I loved it. I'm working on an EP of covers with a local band, and the opening track is Hard Days Night! Still one of my favorite tracks to this day!
Wonderful! That sounds like a lot of fun my friend!1 Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hi Warren, Thanks for putting together such a fantastic video, educational and very entertaining! Thank you for the best lunch break I have had in weeks! By the way this is Alan Wheeler from the U.K. I had to change my you tube id because I got hacked! It's great to be back with you!
Aw shucks thanks ever so much Alan! That really means a lot!! Glad to be a great lunch break!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Loving the undertones of very subtle humour and use of comedy props in this video. Legend Graham Coxon, sharing a studio with a guy who has stolen Barry Gibbs teeth, being interviewed by a guy with stick-on sideburns. Brilliant!.
This is so brilliantly Spinal Tap, even before Thomas starts talking about his roasted Strat.
Haha yes indeed! Who doesn't love some Tap! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Warren, check out Floating Points. Also Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi records with Patrick Gleeson. Both are good examples of integrating an acoustic live band and analog synths and stuff. Have a marvelous time listening...!
Hi freewheeling horn, thanks for the suggestions! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Good day Warren cheers mate
Thanks ever so much
Your welcome brother
a lot of thanks to Thomas Gray for previous interview and Graham for engaging for this one more!
Thanks! Yes, the previous interview they did with Stephen Street was amazing! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
was this filmed this week, or earlier?
love hearing graham talk about his passion.
It was filmed a couple of weeks ago! Yes, I loved talking music with Graham! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
@1:41:38 Okay then, since you asked.... I know it's more than three years later now, but guess what? My opening greeting on internetchats in English (on twitch for example) is: 'Ello. I do that, because where I live in the Netherlands (South-West) we also don't pronounce the h in front locally.
i can totally identify when he says that the gear world can be a tricky one to navigate and that for a beginner it is really hard to find out what to use.
I am thinking about buying some outboard gear (call me old-fashioned, but i love having real knobs and buttons and lights ;) ) and if you go to the websites of the manufacturer's they always say that they make the best products in the world.
"Nice" to see that a musician with so much experience also goes through the same...
;)
Yes agreed 100% Luis! I'm always afraid of the experts! The ones that 'know'! Haha Ultimately Graham is just like you and me! We are trying out new gear and experimenting! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Produce Like A Pro yes, and i think that is really cool! I just wish i also had his "experimenting funds". :p
Hi Luis, good point! However most of the gear is relatively inexpensive! Obviously it's not super cheap, but a Lewitt LCT940 is one of the best Tube mics out there and 1/10th of the price of a vintage Neumann etc. Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
the most important thing to realise while making music as single person is that your layers need to be countering not supporting. and they are almost never together on a grid. it's the combination of all of them working together that makes a groove. great video. love graham!
also you might like this artist killerfan.bandcamp.com/
a pretty nice blend of organic and electronic. it's pretty dark though. have a listen to track 2, 4, 5 & 7 if you get time.
1:02:30 Guthrie Govan played Cornford amps / plays Victory amps (too) :P
Hi KhronX, I met the owners of Victory Amps at Summer NAMM! Great guys! Amps seem amazing!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
51:22 I believe you'll find that's a valve from one of the cylinders, rather than the great big honkin' piston that would then attach to the crankshaft ;)
Yes indeed KnhronX!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
it was Delia Derbyshire in 'White Noise'. such crazy sounds from a true visionary
bass vi is so much fun...
Yes! Agreed 100% truly groundbreaking!
@@dayflowermusic yes, amazing bass!
Wow, BRILLIANT!!! ; funny, informative and lots of fun hearing you chat with those guys. What a trip hearing a mention of Blue Cheer, Left Banke and Henry Cow. Not your everyday trip down memory lane. Thanks ever so much and please please do another interview with them if possible. Question, was that Trident sidecar Graham picked up? Seems like an edit point cut out further discussion. Thanks a million.
Thanks David! Yes agreed! Wonderful to be ale o talk about bands and artists that influenced our whole generation! The sidecar was a Fleximix console! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I thought it looked familiar, helped a friend install a Fleximix in his studio years ago. If I can ever get back to the studio I will have a great time recording and mixing. In Austin, TX writing with a 'legacy' artist. :)
Yes, my friend Dev Jerden had one and LOVED it!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Gra 💕
Yes indeed Daniele! Haha Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Where does he start talking about gear+ routing etc???
I love how at 20:20 Graham is like "What is he talking about?" :v
I think only spanish people write ":v"
The Vapors, American? They're from Guildford. :) Great interview, thanks.
Hi Chris Soares haha yes!! You are correct! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
26:09 Might i recommend something like Ozric Tentacles? Or perhaps even Jojo Mayer's band, Nerve?
Hi KhronX, yes great recommendations! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
what's with all the 3 micro-second jump cuts?
Is this interview over Skype or some such ? ... I can hear the slight echo on my monitors ;)
Great Interview by the way !
P.S... Is Your " Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren" a preset signature ?...Because its always the same?... Not that it is a bad thing Tho !
Hi Seano, yes, it was Skype! When I use my iPhone to post, which is MOST pf the time I write it out every time! Haha Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
i discoverd a us band Pa Line at the winborne folk festival where Mumford and Friends played, and its US answer to them 😊 check them out, they on spotify
Thanks for the tip Matthew! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
of topic but this is a question for mainly Ableton but also other DAWs and what not. ive come across a problem with bass over kill more so mud. In Ableton the bass is fine but once i put it on my phone the bass is too much and out wieghts the rest of the tracks. Now at first i thought maybe it was ear fatigue but now im thinking is it my noise floor?? i read that Ableton cant "clip" so am i getting some sort of clipping in my sub and Ableton isnt giving me a true "sound"?? im abit stuck and no i dont use any visual guides cos im stubbon and want to train my ears first before getting nitty gritty
Despite the crapware, there are several truly useful configuration tools. For starters, there’s the THX control panel, which helps optimize your setup. With this panel, you can not only set individual levels but alter delay times as well, and even reconfigure the projection angles of each channel. Creative’s mixer remains unchanged for the most part, but they did add one feature we’ve been nagging them about: dB-accurate faders. Why would you want those? If you know exactly where 0dB is on your inputs and outputs, you can achieve “unity gain,” meaning the sound card is neither boosting nor attenuating incoming and outgoing signals.
Above is what i found about my soundcard developers. Is it possible asio driver is over riding my card driver during ableton playback??
Hi Matthew, great question! You might have better luck asking it on one of the Ableton Videos? Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Produce Like A Pro i think ive got to the bottom of it, is my i/o options. soundcard has nothing to do with abletons summing. Been advised to turn monitoring off while resampling as ableton will play the input and output at the same, causing latency and delays.
Ok glad to hear you figured it out Matthew! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Produce Like A Pro sorted. i turned every track that wasnt resampling from Auto to off, and the resample track the to IN. No distortion of any kind... yay my demo will be out soon. Exciting as its my first Ableton project that i started and its 10:30. haha i wanted to see how long i could make a song last without it getting boring.
