Bernie Grundman is an American audio engineer.
He is most known for his mastering work and his studio, Bernie Grundman Mastering, which he opened in 1984 in Hollywood. The studio, which includes engineers Chris Bellman, Patricia Sullivan, and Mike Bozzi, mastered 37 projects which received Grammy Award nominations in 2005. In 1997 he opened a studio in Tokyo.[1]
Grundman and his studio have both won numerous TEC Awards, including Best Mastering Facility and several production awards.[2]
Previously, Grundman worked at Contemporary Records and then was head of the A&M Records mastering department in Los Angeles. Now his studio also has been established in Tokyo, Japan with engineer Yasuji Maeda.
Thriller is the sixth studio album by the American singer and songwriter Michael Jackson, released on November 30, 1982, by Epic Records. It was produced by Quincy Jones, who had previously worked with Jackson on his 1979 album Off the Wall. Jackson wanted to create an album where "every song was a killer". With the ongoing backlash against disco music at the time, he moved in a new musical direction, resulting in a mix of pop, post-disco, rock, funk, and R&B sounds. Thriller foreshadows the contradictory themes of Jackson's personal life, as he began using a motif of paranoia and darker themes. Paul McCartney appears on "The Girl Is Mine", the first credited appearance of a featured artist on a Michael Jackson album. Recording took place from April to November 1982 at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles, California, with a budget of $750,000.
Thriller became Jackson's first number-one album on the US Billboard Top LPs & Tapes chart, where it spent a record 37 non-consecutive weeks at number one, from February 26, 1983, to April 14, 1984. Seven singles were released: "The Girl Is Mine", "Billie Jean", "Beat It", "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' ", "Human Nature", "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)", and "Thriller". They all reached the top 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, setting a record for the most top 10 singles from an album, with "Beat It" and "Billie Jean" reaching number one. Following Jackson's performance of "Billie Jean" in the Motown 25 television special, where he debuted his signature moonwalk dance, the sales of the album significantly increased, selling one million copies worldwide per week. The "Thriller" music video was premiered to great anticipation in December 1983 and played regularly on MTV, which also increased the sales.
With 32 million copies sold worldwide by the end of 1983, Thriller became the best-selling album of all time. It was the best-selling album of 1983 worldwide, and in 1984 it became the first album to become the best-selling in the United States for two years. It set industry standards with its songs, music videos, and promotional strategies influencing artists, record labels, producers, marketers, and choreographers. The success gave Jackson an unprecedented level of cultural significance for a black American, breaking racial barriers in popular music, earning him regular airplay on MTV and leading to a meeting with US President Ronald Reagan at the White House. Thriller was among the first albums to use music videos as promotional tools; the videos for "Billie Jean", "Beat It" and "Thriller" are credited for transforming music videos into a serious art form.
Thriller remains the best-selling album of all time, with sales of 70 million copies worldwide. It is the second-best-selling album in the United States and was certified 34× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2021. It won a record-breaking eight Grammy Awards at the 1984 Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, while "Beat It" won Record of the Year. Jackson also won a record-breaking eight American Music Awards at the 1984 American Music Awards. The album has been a frequent inclusion in lists of the greatest albums of all time. In 2008, it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In the same year, the Library of Congress added it to the National Recording Registry of "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant recordings". 45 rpm
Michael 45 casually hands Chad a glass of club soda through zoom at 28:36! Amazing! 😁😁
Best comment EVER !!! this is so funny thx for putting this up!
That is so funny.
😂😂😂
Lol, across countries no less
Wow! Good eye!
I know this will sound like an exaggeration but that was absolutely the most enjoyable informative video chat I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. I especially loved what Chad said about having a unique chance in his lifetime to do something really special for the love of it - and what it means to him. He is a unique individual, worthy of all the respect and praise he will undoubtably have coming to him long after he is gone. And thank you Michael for all of the thought and passion you put into your channel. That was very very enjoyable.
Hello James,
the right words in a nutshell. 👌
It is no exaggeration, James. Well said. I feel the same way. These guys were speaking about what I've always wanted vinyl records to be.
Love the passion…from everyone here!
Very well put, I could have not it myself. Once in a while you find something really interesting and informative and I am glad Mike 45 did this. I also watched him on the day he went to a record convention in Germany. All these guys in the interview had real passion and it's not a job if you really enjoy what you do. At one time I could see myself in the music industry at one time when I was young I thought of being a Radio DJ or maybe working for a music magazine like Creem Magazine. Also I have a pretty large music collection but nothing like Mike 45, plus he has the system to rock or chill out in his music room. Keep up the good work I will be looking out albums that you guys put out.
2 hours and 25 minutes seemed like a blink of an eye. Fantastic discussion with very humble and sincere people.
"Jazz is a true art form " - Bernie Grundman.
I couldn't have said it better^
Tape restoration is a mastercraft in and of itself. I am glad that Bernie covered the subject.

A couple comments have come to mind listening to this. I own ten Mofi's. Two older ones and eight newer ones. I wouldn't claim that I could tell there was a digital component. That never crossed my mind. What I have observed though, is that the two older Mofi's, I have listened to over and over again. The newer ones I listened to once and they went on the shelf. They never came back off the shelf until I listened to them again due to the recent revelations about digital. I don't know if that is just a coincidence or not.
I'm trying to pick myself up off the floor. This was an absolutely terrific discussion. It brings tears to my eyes, because this is what I've always wanted vinyl records to be. Thank you so much to everyone involved in this video, and I so much look forward to hearing the records you produce and review! 👍👍👍👍👍
I know that I am watching this days later after the event happened. But I am really enjoying hearing these mastering geniuses speak. I really like Bernie Grundman's attitude and down to earth seeming personality. A mastering genius that seems like somebody you could meet and talk with and he'd be down to earth and enjoy the conversation with a fan. Anyhow, thanks for the panel and for the very interesting topics and conversation!
Bernie’s a good guy.
Fascinating to hear Bernie talk about
what made Michael Jackson’s albums swing.
Yeah Quincy is a musical genius and his 'jazz touch' or influence. Is there. And the mixing is perfect
Really really really great stream Michael, this is the type of content UA-cam is made for and you nailed it, please, more of this stuff.
Ha, I live in New Zealand, and found a really clean copy of A Love Supreme in a thrift store here for $1. It’s a mid 70’s UK reissue with an HMV price sticker. Most likely cut from that tape Ryan held up. Amazing
Ha, I live in New Zealand too and all find in op shops is Kamhal. Good score on the Coletrane.
Michael you are the historic star in vinyl heaven.
Your channel is the work of powerful ideas and good deeds.
With today.
A major live stream.
Very honest and educational.
Tonmeister with ❤️ and mind.
They now how to harmonize standards with art.
Which have a stimulating effect on the ❤️ and the joy of hearing.
😊Heike
Grundman is a living legend. A joy to hear such great insight from him and the others. Important conversation!
Great video , Chad is working as hard as he can to get the crown jewels of the music industry on to Analogue Productions . Looking forward to the next couple of months as there are going to 2 uhqr announcements and 2 big other announcements . Get in .
I am not always 100% satisfied with Bernie's mastering but I really have to admit that this guy really knows what he's talking about !!
EDIT: But his mastering is always good ! Never heard a vinyl record mastered by him that sounded bad yet !! Specially his Jazz cuts are really good.
He’s a master, anything with his name on it. You know you are getting quality
It would be great to see see a video from some engineers that are advocates of half speed mastering and/or those who intentionally use a digital step in their mastering process. Bernie and Chad are huge analogue fans, but it would also be good to see a video from the other side on why some prefer to use digital. Some use this even though they have access to the original masters tapes. James Guthrie (Pink Floyd), Miles Showell (Abbey Road Half Speed), Barry Grint (Alchemy mastering at Air Studios, who does a lot of half speed cuts). I love my Doors LPs cut from analogue, but also love my Pink Floyd and The Who albums with digital steps in. I really enjoyed this video.
Thanks Michael, these long form discussions are so informative. I really have learned so much more about the various processes skills and creativity involved in the production of audiophile quality music be it vinyl or digital formats such as SACD. As a youngster I never really gave a second thought other than bemusement at the various markings etched into the dead wax on singles and albums- much like some ancient Masonic style cult. one the key ingredients these real experts in their field display is a deep love and passion for music of all genres and how they strive for audio perfection- they know its a journey and not a destination and is of course subjective. Listening to Bernie speak he is a "vinyl whisperer" and I never really appreciated how much had to be considered when cutting those masters to ensure. they play and sound good on a wide range of equipment- it's really a game of compromise. Thanks to everyone for the amazing work they do and the immense pride in their work. It really is appreciated by so many across the world.
Great stuff Michael, I think you missed an opportunity to ask Bernie and Ryan on what specific equipment they use to listen to records on. Bernie said he uses a better than average cartridge and turntable, great, but what? This would be nice to know. Thanks again.
I'm an electronics tech and an audiophile and I absolutely agree that everything makes a difference and you can only rely on your ears. All that test equipment is only useful to tell us if a circuit is working properly.
The voice of reason.
As a Musician, Audiophile and Electronics technician that also has a degree in Nursing, i would go a step further. The musical experience is not limited to the ears. We also feel music. We have air cavities in our bodies. From the large air space in our lungs, oesophagus and mouth, to the small eustachian tubes that link to our middle ear.
Even any trapped wind we may have in our bowl, they all contain air that have an individual resonant frequency.
Remember, even deaf people enjoy music.
We don't as much just "hear" music.... we "feel it".
This is why we say we are "moved" by music!
Yes, everything makes a difference, be it a smaller or a larger one. Otherwise there would be no explanation for records sounding different although using the same source tape or even the same digital source.
I'm an electronics Guy too, back as a kid I only heard records through a GEC music centre & in the 80s' a philips stacker system, all we could afford, & in those days tape to tape was popular for swapping copies from mates at school, now over last 15 years my system has gradually been upgraded & now hear things i never heard before, CD was good but now I hear in Vinyl the best instrument decay & mid range tone with treble as well !
Yeah you're right as an audiophile. I listen for the orchestra pit effect. Long time vinyl collector
A big thank you to all involved for this stream.
So much important information, but the most important thing for me to see was everyone's love for music and their effort to make the best sounding records for us. If all the pressing plants jump on this bandwagon now, we vinyl fans are in for great times.
Really good discussion! Love hearing Bernie talk. He is running a clinic on mastering and sound. Chad is a hoot as well very fun and full of energy and passion. Im going to send this episode to some of my mastering and studio engineer friends. Lots of info to chew on.
Many ordinary(not rich) people would love new well done reissues of Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Beatles and Steely Dan before we die.
All been done
Amazing stuff. This is in my opinion the 'holy grail' of insightful information about the topic. The closest we will get to the thinking process of these legends when doing their thing. Thank you so much Michael! 👏🏻🙂
This chat is even better the second time around 👏! You have two of the best cutting engineers and a record company guy there in chad, and people still will believe differently from the people who's been there and have themselves in the trenches!
Bernie is like a Rockstar gota love that genius 👏
We all share the love of music and that’s what counts. Thanks Michael for putting this together. These guys are great.
Andy Narell. Some great audiophile recordings. Slow Motion and The Hammer. Slow Motion is still a reference recording for me. Thanks for mentioning him Bernie. No one else on the panel seems to know who he is.
Michael, nice job getting Bernie, Chad and Ryan together for this chat much more information passed then when you have the mad man Michael Fremer on. Keep up the good work.
Michael Fremer knows his stuff, whether you find him mad or not
@@ralex3697 fremer does know his stuff , but outside of known facts he is very opinionated to a fanatical degree. i really like alot of his content but some of the decisions and rants he has had in the last year or so have turned me off him slightly ... its a shame because he is an enthusiastic guy and has done alot for the vinyl record business over the dark years ...
maybe its a NY thing , i find ken micallef i interesting too but he can be dogmatic and aggressive to. i suppose all of us in this hobby are curmudgeonly old blokes ? but this conversation here shows that you can have an impassioned discussion without ego
Michael I thoroughly enjoyed the session today! I love hearing the pros discuss their craft!! Thank you for assembling this stellar group of audio icons!
That was such huge fun. Nothing beats passion & enthusiasm in any aspect and all of the folks here are just overflowing with both.
Thanks, 45rpm. This is a classic. Thanks to Bernie and Ryan. Chad is always great value !!
Awesome session. Thank you all for taking your time to do this. Very -enlightening!-
Really good chat, I know it was difficult for Michael to control, but there was so much great information that came out of it. I am guessing that Chad was hinting at a SD catalog repress.
ive always trusted my ears and kept my hifi system simple as possible its never let me down ,every vinyl sounds like it should,ive noticed a lack atmosphere and emotional content in new vinyl unlike my many older records ,i feel in the room with original pressings unlike the its coming at you type of sound of new vinyl i feel locked out although im hearing it...
Thank God for your transparency, Chad!
Hats off to Chad and Bernie I have many albums mastered by you 👏
This program was absolutely fabulous
Love to hear the passion and the care with the sound
Thanks Michael!
Michael, it's my first youtube comment ever, but I wanted you to know, that by this video you became an All-Star to me! Keep up the great work!
One on the best and most informative discussions I've watched on UA-cam. Bravo guys!
What an education, a true MasterClass. Look forward to hearing more from humble Ryan! Thank you, Michael!
I'm going to go out on a limb we're going to see part, or all of the Rolling Stones catalog released by Acoustic Sounds based on Chad's comments. Hear me out: 1. Chad said one of the records he just worked on with Ryan "smoked the dog shit" out of the original, which was also cut at Sterling Sound by Ted (Jensen?) or Greg (Calbi?). Both of these dudes worked on Stones stuff through the 80s. 2. Chad has repeatedly said the next 10 years are going to be amazing. I gotta think he landed a big artist catalog, like fucking whale big, to back that up. 3. The Stones have been supportive of multiple reissues, including MoFi and Abbey Road half Speed masters over the years. The Stones also seem sympathetic to cashing in as long as they can and cementing their legacy. AP can help them with that. 4. Chad loves classic rock and blues, and the Stones HAVE GOT to be on his bucket list for his company. If the Stones were the last artist he landed for AS, that would be a lifetime achievement for him. 5. And finally the big one, Chad said "It ain't the Beatles". :) If that isn't enough, In the interview with Steve Westman a month ago, he added "Someone else can get the Beatles. Someone else can get Pink Floyd," also implying the rights for LZ were still a challenge. Maybe it's just wishful thinking... but if there's a big band announcement coming, I think it's the Stones!
Please no
I still think its ZEP, Steely, Who, and the others that hes doing now Hendrix, Doors and Jazz. But I am hopeful fore the Stones as well. Maybe all of the above?
@@s.t.e.r.e.o. Agree Steely seems imminent, but yeah Electric Ladyland and Band of Gypsys would be a treat. I want the Who as much as LZ, and personally both of them before the Stones, but I'd love the hell out of any of them. I'm gonna have to take a showwa 3 times a day so I know Chad is out there talking to the labels.
Please yes!!
I think it’s Led Zeppelin
One of the best two hours in my life. Simply Fantastic. Thanks to all four.
These four people are heroes!
That was so enjoyable and informative to watch! Really enjoy listening to you guys discuss the mastering and record making process.
It’s refreshing to hear Chad admit Sometimes they can’t top or equal the original
i will never get tired of bernie g talking about cutting thriller. it just never gets old
22:53 Thank You Rachel. Made my day.
That was brilliant, listened the full two an a half hours. Loved it, and so informative. Bernie Grundman is a legend. And I really like Analogue Productions product.
It’s nice to see RKS in the convo. Another great video! You’re killing it, Michael.
I'm disappointed I missed the live chat, but thanks for this Michael, very informative and it was quite enjoyable to my ears...cheers.
4 very passionate Audiophiles with the interest in keeping the Analogue mastered recordings alvie...if anything these types of podcasts bring honesty to the audience.
Quote Burnie Grundman the first generation recordings cannot be beaten without any doubt...
Sound manipulation is louder getting your attention.
But it is also fatiguing over time,to me this just sounds like digital media to me!
Fantastic….I’ve learned such a lot..thank you Michael for organising this stream….
I am really enjoying this conversation.
Great discussion guys. Danke Michael 45 for organising it all. You’re the man!! Nick from NZ
Can I echo other comments I've read that this was one of the best discussions on mastering/reissues that I've ever heard. A brilliant discussion and I hope the four of you will assemble for more conversations in future.
I as a vinyl collector. I'm so grateful and thankful that all four of you took the time to talk, explain and share with us your knowledge. Your love for music and the process in making it for us consumers. We didn't have this type of sharing and openness 40years ago for the average joe. To learn and ask questions to the men who made the magic of mastering, cutting and the process involved in doing so. Thank you so much for sharing and spending your time with us all. I helps more than you know. Thank you again, Kevin
CHAD KASSEM= PASSION!🌹
I love these guys and what they're doing for audio, especially analog. In addition to what they are saying and with great respect for these engineers, I also like those relatively rare direct-to-disc recordings where minimal engineering is done. no mixing, no or minimal (as Bernie puts it) manipulation of the recorded sound. I want to hear as close as possible what was played & recorded - what went on that original tape (before any engineers got their hands on it).
Thank you Michael for this great important session . All are the best in their field . Chad is a bit overselling but with his enthusiasm he's pushing forward the industry. The humble way and professionalism of Bernie and Ryan for such influential people is exemplary. I liked how you gave them the stage when needed. Again thank you.
Outstanding livestream Michael! You keep outdoing yourself.
In every sense.
On his territory.
He is better than enyone. :-)
❤️Heike
I was sorry that I wasn’t able to see this live but what a fantastic discussion. I really enjoy the insight that these guys give into the production of a vinyl record. Chapeau to Michael for pulling this together, more of the same please.
Excellent stream I was so engrossed I forgot i was going out, four masters of their craft it was a real pleasure to be a fly on the wall Michael take a bow it dosent get better than this, keep up the good work
I came here by a recommendation of Ana[dia]log. And I’m glad I did. Very informative for any music lover or audiophile.
Great interview, but I really wish Bernie would have let Ryan speak more. Never really got Ryan's take on some things. Michael, it would be great if you could just interview Ryan. 🙂
I was thinking the exact same thing!
lets be real tea for the tillerman was not to get anywhere under 140 bucks here in germany .. i waited and waited till mailorder got it and still non of them .. but when chad sad the 100 time buy now or cry later ... i got a NM used one for still 140 and it was amazing .. i just wish you had a EU shop so i could buy alot more :-)
Incredible interview! Thank you so much for doing it!
Gotta be the best open discussion on how todays best vinyl is being produced I have ever seen and heard.
So happy to hear there is still two big announcements coming this year. When I saw the announcement for the Kind of Blue 45rpm I thought that was one of them and was a bit disappointed being that we already knew that was coming. Chad continues to deliver. Can't wait to hear what the titles are.
Led zeppelin
How many versions of Kind of Blue does one need ?
It's Bob Marley and Steely Dan
@@dzikirolnik777 please !!! i am struggling so hard with zep to get nice sounding records, my i and ii are great now but ive been through so many... i still need nice iii,iv and physical... if they would repress the classic records plates that would be awesome
@@ralex3697 i have the uhqr 33 and thats enough for me, i came across an early uk cbs copy at weekend but it was too noisy, a nice original would suit me now. i did get a very nice early uk in a silent way though and that suits me , kind of blue is a nice record but the obsession with it is strange, its far from being the only great jazz record
Wow, what a thought-provoking chat! Honestly, the info about an inadvertent "positive feedback loop" effect caused by streaming services on reducing the loudness war is most peculiar. (Never thought about that). Chad is killing it, as always, one of the nicest and funniest and most relatable people in that industry, hands down, by a long mile. (Even though he was constantly talking over Michael and interrupting everyone, haha)
Absolutely epic conversation, thank you for putting this together. So much new knowledge. You're great Michael.
Great, great professionals all the way around, fantastic discussion, highest regards for all involved in this passion. Chad, we love your determination to give the customer the best! Your team, Chad, at your plant are brilliant and so highly skilled. Of course, Bernie and Ryan are legends in the industry and always give 110% effort to make records sound perfect.
This is a really great discussion, Recording engineers need to give this a listen! Every new recording studio environment is so far removed from actual music, I know that sounds bizarre to say but it really is true in so many ways. Hearing all of you guys discuss this somehow brings it all around that the recording studio is about the end result of the piece of art you are making.
A fantastic insight ! I have learned so much from this and it is fascinating. Having the quality of people you have organised for this chat is phenomenal. Be proud of this, your curiosity is educating music lovers all over the world. 👏👏
Finding out MOFI is digital is like finding out Jami Hendrix was behind the stage playing guitar while Jimi took all praise.
Michael, thank you so much for this live streeaming session. I listened to the whole 2.5 hrs+ as it was such a great discussion with 3 of the titans in the world of audiophile vinyl. To have Bernie, Ryan and Chad on board was beyond outstanding. This was every bit as interesting and insightful as the session you did with Kevin Gray. To have Mssrs. Grundman and share their knowledge in the art of mastering and re-mastering was amazing. Equally enjoyable was Chad's insight into the way he channels his passion into producing the best pressed and remastered vinyl lps restores my faith in the ethics he preaches and executes in his business. Kassem's honesty and strong opinions in giving the consumer superior products keeps me as a loyal customer to Analogue Productions because I know he is a no bullshit guy. I will have to re-watch the video because there was so much stuff discussed I know i missed something. And one last comment, I hope Bernie gets his shot at re-mastering Thriller the right way. He is a God to the Vinyl world. Thanks again Michael for all you do; you have been a great resource with your reviews and commentary.
This video is so amazing, people forgot to press the like button!
Great job, Michael!
Excellent and informative, thank you.
Great conversation. Thank you so much.
Great discussion. Really looking forward to Bernie’s mastering of Way Out West (was that new news?).Michael I think it would be great if you could interview RKS on his own, feels like he’s got a lot more to say? Great job Michael 👏👏
Bernie Grundman needs to write a book!
i really enjoy these type of discussions thanks
Incredibly great session
Epic conversation on EVERY level!! 💯💫👍🏾
Bro, this was *STELLAR* , thank you Michael!!! 👍
Thriller mastered by BG at 45rpm!!!!!!!!!!!! DO IT!!!!!
I can’t help think there is something cooking there. The way Chad was talking and gesticulating at that makes me think AS have a “thriller” release in the works. But can this be realistic given MoFi are releasing a One-Step, albeit at 33 rpm?
Amazing stuff Michael! Well done in facilitating such a great conversation.
Great interview Michael. I have the Zeppelin II that Greg Calbi (GC in the deadwax) mastered and cut. I think he did it about 4 years or so after Robert Ludwigs (first mastering and cutting) of this classic. Greg's version of this album is so good that I could say it's pretty close to what RL did and might be the 2nd best or perhaps Bernie's cut for Classic (since acquired by Chad of course). I would like to see Greg Calbi do an interview. One of my favs is Chad and Bernie discussing the Steely Dan reissues and another with Donald Fagen. BTW, I have to say that Chad's UHQR45 of Kind Of Blue is the winner hands down for that album. It's a great accomplishment to produce the definitive reference version of such a classic. I have the Mofi The Nightfly One Step and I emailed Chad about whether he and Bernie will be doing that and Donald's other great solo record Kamirakad. It's not in the works yet but despite the MOFI sounding great, I would like to hear what Analogue Productions would do with it. By the time I'm writing this, AP has released all the Steely Dan catalogue except The Royal Scam (my fav), Aja and Gaucho. 1:18:22 . Check out Bernie and Ryan, with Chad talking about DSD V PCM . Bernie gets into the nitty gritty that pretty much says it all.
Chad is eating up the MOFI controversy. Dude’s loving it lol.
Great job Mike letting them take the lead and listen Chad is a big personality and you let him speak without cutting him off kudos I could only imagine how hard it was when you have your notes and format your wanting to follow. Even so a lot of great stuff covered I didn’t know about tapes.
Amazing discussion, thanks for making this happen
Off The Wall on 45 UHQR, and Quincy Jones The Dude on 45 UHQR and I actually wouldn't mind having George Benson Give Me The Night on 45 UHQR.
Thank you so much for this Michael. Confirms the thought I've had since 1983. A great listen.
Great hearing from the masters!
Thank you for contributing to the discourse (and I use that word in the most academic and technical way possible).
So nice to have Ryan Smith on here for his insight.
Any chance for the Robert Ludwig’s Hot mix of Led Zeppelin II to be reissued?
Hell of a show. Fantastic. Thank you so much.
Man, I hope they send you promo copies by now on! Thanks for this video ;)
