- Legendary artist, producer and engineer Alan Parsons, and acclaimed pundit, author and musician Julian Colbeck look at the challenges and opportunities facing music & audio in the 21st century in their new book The Art & Science Of Sound Recording - The Book (Hal Leonard Publications).
Alan Parsons started his career at Abbey Road Studios when he was 18, working with The Beatles. Parsons went on to engineer the classic Pink Floyd album Dark Side Of The Moon before embarking on a multi Platinum career as producer and finally artist in his own right with the Alan Parsons Project.
Julian Colbeck spent 25 years as a professional keyboardist working with cult 70s band Charlie, Yes/ABWH, Genesis’ Steve Hackett and many others. Colbeck was one of the first people to write about MIDI in his first book Keyfax (Virgin Books) in 1984. The Art & Science Of Sound Recording - The Book is his thirteenth. - Наука та технологія
Mr Parsons seems like such a nice person.
It’s always fascinating to watch one of the greatest artists of all time! We ❤️U Alan☝️
Julian Colbeck's responses are great.
wow, alan parsons!
A room full of sound engineers, and they can't get rid of the feedback in the room. LOL!
i find it remarkable that alan said - they tried a lot of microphones and the best one for recording seemed to be a shure 57 for 100 dollars ...without good songs even the best equipment is of little use to produce good music
Pure gold. Thank you for sharing it.
Love this. Alan parsons has some gems on playing together as a band in the studio. Imperfections as a gift rather than perfection. Capturing vibe and a great performance. Abby Road and its wealth of Knowledge. One of my favorite producers.
Al Stewart puts much of the success of Year of the Cat down to Alan Parsons. Stewart wanted to record a bunch of folk songs, but Parsons cajoled him to go for a sound development of his previous two albums, which were moderately (but critically very) successful. Parsons suggestion to use a sax on the title track and a Spanish guitar on On the Border. Both signature sounds on the million seller album.
This video is right on!!!. I am ex video producer. "Audio is everything"
Love Alan Parson music!!
Thanks for a current approach to recording engineering. I learned with John Woram's book (in 1982!). I definitely re-learned recording from the ASSR compilation! Thanks so much!
Very humble person
I have recorded and produced soundtracks in surround and "ambisonics". Both are amazing in their own rights. I installed an ambisonic theater just to playback a movie soundtrack that we recorded. It is still in operation!
Even anybody that plays in the band or gets up on stage should watch this
Ironically the sound of this is pretty bad...feedback issues, ugg!
Stephen Tack Seems to happen with a lot of AP interviews. I wonder if he somehow altered his magnetic field working in studios all those years... lol
Kinda funny…
Excellent !! I totally agree on how people can enjoy music on any device, and now there is no "audiophile" people or way of "seat and listen to the music" as in the 80s- Tech can improve how to listen music if the soul is there, tech itself is not enough.
Which is funny when you think of it, because many people arguing that recording on 16 bit 44.1khz isn't good enough, while they listening to music through their Apple airpods. If you want to hear the improvement of 24 bit at 48khz or more you'll need exceptional good equipment and speakers.
@@koyaanisqatsi316 I also agree. I am now enjoying HD records, DSD and some MQA (via Tidal) over my DACs. Expansión is back and also definition and deep. But this is not what most people consume. I still seat to listen to the music. But people prefer portability and high power against quality. But it is a business…
graphic eq notch at 1k2 and 1k6 coulda sorted that ring out. the irony!
"We've become very forgiving of what talent is" and "There are a lot of extremely mediocre talents out there that make millions" -- really killer comments on the state of music these days.
I am amazed at how this got only 578 likes :(
Alan Parsons :)
This would be one of the guys to learn it from....
Anyone know what 96-24 means
38:48.. yeah alan, could we do that sometime? pop in any of your favorite records and smoke a doobie with me please lol. i mean 'cig' something 70's like DSOTM or Close to the Edge
funny to see, how techno geeks gathered to see what Alan will say about "what button to push to get "APP" sound" or what plugin will make poo sounding stuff brilliant...or what secret wiring is making mickey mouse sounding like pavarotti.... but Alan talked about "using mind and talent" rather that "magic buttons"...
I bet most of the spectators were talking after the meeting "gee, this guy is a dinosaur, he sucks..."
I attended one of Alan's master classes at his ParSonics studio back in October of 2019. What surprised me was how sparingly he used effects. We did a mixdown of Don't Answer Me and it was just an Abbey Road Studio plugin in ProTools, a delay, and that was it. He had mentioned that he only compresses vocals and bass (and sometimes sax) but not drums. I was also surprised to find he wasn't using any outboard choruses, as he preferred to double track things like guitars and vocals in order to get a chorus effect.
@@neilbradley ? What does 96 -24 mean. Please 🙏 ✌️
@@Newfoundmike 96khz, 24 bit.
Software engineers who do music ask questions about doing music like software engineers. Stop thinking and keep playing guys ;)
'I use auto tune but sparingly' nice to hear it from Alan Parsons anything else may be really depressing....
sound expert talks trough feeding back sound system ...
alan is fine.
How ironic that there is constant feedback during the talk. You can't make this shit up.
"Over cooked is under par"
Dont let the fire rush to your head.
recording is complicated? well some classical/jazz/pop recordings of the end "60 were pretty good - maybe because they did NOT use > 60 mics, editing, mastering and other shit. they only used 3 mics and it sounded great!
16 bit / 44.1 kHz should be more than enough as the end user format, even for an audiophile. Even 12 bit would be really good. The actual benefits of the high-resolution formats (such as 24/96) come from the fact that they survive better through editing.
earring is not.
Ironically shitty audio.
+Will Sync You get what you pay for. :-)
Yes, I love AP, so it was annoying to hear his Mic constantly ringing.
Just curious..... who the %&@# is Julian Colbeck???
+JCzCmngALZ Played keyboards with Steve Hackett. Search for Steve Hackett Tokyo Tapes on UA-cam.

A lot of mediocre people out there making millions. We know who they are. They know who they are too.
I noticed some edits in this video. I wonder why.
