Great interview, Maor always gives great knowledge and insight.
One of the most underrated podcasts when it comes to audio!
The fact he acknowledged sound being affected thru every single cable/gear confirms my hypothesis that every session is irreplicable, therefore, geeking deep inside on what we already have is the first step for better productions.
Interesting 🤨
Great interview Maor Appelbaum!
Thank you Justin you always bring us gems.
Yeah!! very nice chapter... maor is a pro engineer full of knowledge and really nice guy! its good to see this one!
Awesome stuff, Justin. I learn so much from your interviews.
Maor is THE MAN !!! thanks for the video! i can say from my personal experience with Maor, he's so honest and really want to get the tracks to the top, even it needs to give you advice from him how you can get better to the mix and send again to master and get the best results, also very personal attention and easy and so nice communication , highly recommended for everyone to try wok with Maor.
Fantastic mastering engineer!
Agreed!
Great video!
That phone trick is the best LOL
Great show...and gear! Thank you Justin and Maor. Best : D
Wondering how you recall settings on all the analog gear when you need to re-visit and make tweaks to a clients project? Is it as simple of just taking a photo maybe? Or do you create a detailed document of some kind outlining each piece used and it's settings?
At JLM where I mastered on a predominantly analog rig for years, we had some special-made custom recall sheets.
On one page, we'd have the controls for every piece of gear in the rig. The mastering console, 2 compressors, 2 EQs, 2 limiters, a de-esser, an Anamod tape emulator, and some other bells and whistles.
Writing down all the settings with a pencil would take 2-5 minutes or so, which could be done while printing the master. Recalling would take 5-10 minutes or so.
With my all digital setup at my home mastering studio, it's all instantaneous which is a nice luxury. It's a bit less tedious, and there's no room for accidentally missing a setting.
Analog recall is much easier in the mastering realm than in mixing! But it's still a bit tedious and all that time can certainly add up over the course of a day if you're doing a whole album recall or something like that.
@@JustinColletti Thanks Justin. I master with plug-ins but your podcast inspired me to try running a mix through some analog gear. I sent it out for external eq and compression then back to digital plug-ins for maximizer and other enhancing. There wasn’t a marked difference between plug-ins only and the analog/plug-in combo. I guess I need to drop $10,000 on outboard gear. :-) Michael Nickolas
Hi. Please forgive my potentially dumb question, but what's the title of the Steely Dan album you were referring to? Thanks.
Most likely "Aja". A lot of people consider it the best mixed/mastered album ever. Definitely one of my references for mixing certain types of music.
@@anonagain Great, thank you.
@@anonagain I'll check it out, thanks. I heard the band on a radio but never heard to check it for learning purposes.
Hell yeah!! I just said the same thing!! 🤣🤣 their albums have sold more crappy stereo systems/speakers than anyone!! I’m thinking “Hey Nineteen.”
“If you play Steely Dan while you set up my room I’m gonna fire you”….🤣🤣🤣
The worst audio and video to demonstrate anything🤣 Come on guys
