Trevor is the epitome of hard work. My friend shared a flat with him, when Trevor was a bassist at the local night club. He said that Trevor would work hard all week, then spend all his money on studio time, recording a song called 'Video Killed The Radio Star'.. If it wasn't right, he would scrap it and start over again. It took him almost 2 years to get it right.
Really, really cool to hear Trevor's philosophy, work ethic and insights and lessons learned from his illustrious career. I fondly remember working in Sarm West, bumping into him whilst we were recording RITF with Julian Mendelsohn in '87, and he was I think recording/mixing Frankie with Steve Lipson, with Lola on reception and Lucky cooking up some delicious Jamaican cuisine. "Great days" ;-)
In the 80s and 90s, Trevor Horn was seen as the epitome of a producer for inventive and extremely detailed, rhythmic productions that sounded epically big and powerful. We couldn't believe how great it sounded. He could take a (not so great) singer like Grace Jones and turn her into a music goddess. With him behind the production, it seemed impossible not to have a successful record. And he never chose "cheesy" solutions. It wasn't until youtube came around that we could actually see him and get to know him as a real person. Not just an iconic quality tag.
I’ve been a professional singer since 1973. Never been a famous one, but I’ve had steady work my whole entire life. What an amazing guy Trevor Horn is. It would be a pleasure for anybody to get the chance to sing if he’s producing. He seems to take all the scariness out of singing in the studio. A lot of times when you’re just doing your job trying to sing the song you don’t get the feedback that you should get and you just start to feel left out of the loop with all the musicians and the producers if nobody’s telling you what’s good or what’s bad. so thank you Trevor for being an incredible guy.
I am 2 hrs away from doing a vocal session.... and running thru lyric sheet with the backing track - AWEFUL.... so glad I stumbled across this..... now following trevors great suggestions regard lyric sheet....
Wow, amazing to hear Trevor say he tunes vocals these days. I'll bet if asked he'd say it wasn't needed in the old days because singers used to be able to *actually sing!* And how cool that after talking about people like Seal, John Legend, and Rod Stewart he says Chris Squire was the best harmony singer on stage he'd ever worked with. Yes fans know this, but it's really great for Trevor to acknowledge it after 40+ years.
Vocals have been tuned to various degrees for over 50 years. The tricks and techniques used to fix pitch back in the day were pretty cool and can generally be applied still to this day. I would agree that bands, singers, and artists were generally more prepared for the recording process than they are today.
This is wonderful. Trevor Horn is a genius. I really hope that those there get to understand the wisdom he presents here as their careers go forward. As someone who has recorded hundreds of singers in my time, the single most important thing is generating the correct psychology to get the best out of the artist. I have seen world class singers on the other side of the glass and they have been terrified. It's the loneliest place in the world. If they are doing their job properly, they are laying their very souls on the line to be criticised and scrutinised and that requires trust.
I couldn´t praise enough such a great - and entertaining - giving away of "that" 100% real life studio everyday experience and ways of some "psychological guidance"! In the end - if small or big budget - everybody is just cooking with water. Humans together are working, struggling, taking their efforts in every possible creative and/or practical way to reach at least a consumable - or even gorgeous - final result. The art is in the vision and in the refinery - but you somehow have to build a healthy base first!
While working in function bands, I met people from bands that Trevor Horn had depped for as a bassist. He would arrive, read music, and play, without problems, or drama. The man is a no nonsense working musician, as well as a producer, engineer, and song writer, and he understands the heart and soul of the music as well as the technical and pragmatic side of recording and producing studio and live music. His catalogue of work is proof of this; the music is artful and emotional as well as beautifully engineered.
This was wonderful to hear in terms of the psychology involved, Trevor Horn is so understated in his style but look at how much he's achieved. I was in the studio once as an observer to watch a good local jazz band record, and I went in thinking it would be terrific to watch the band performing. I wound up being captivated instead to watch the performance of the producer. He was adopting one persona to speak to the band, being ultra positive and smooth in terms of responding to & guiding the band, but whenever he was speaking to his engineer (and therefore off the talk-back loop) he was almost a completely different person. I can imagine it's fairly draining to keep doing that all day! This guy had quite a different personal style to Trevor Horn, but he had a similar attitude with respect to the psychological elements.
Amen to Trevor applauding a vocal take. Reminds me of that We Are the World video, where Stevie Wonder, Lionel Ritchie and Quincy Jones are really encouraging and praising Bob Dylan as he goes through takes.
This is amazing. I have absolutely nothing to do with recording music in any capacity but gosh this is a super interesting talk. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Brilliant the type of tips i need before i start my projects. Luckily I was at the Prince's Trust Concert tribute to Trevor back 2004 so i know how amazing his work is live
Excellent .... so great to hear one of the "I did it for real" guys sharing their experiences. This is very helpful and practical rather than just technical. Thank you to TH and Point Blank.
I'll have to check the book. I've been studying Trevors work for a long time, esp with Seal. He inspired the concept of "groove shadows" along with Teddy Riley. I had a chance to work with his buddy Mars and learned quite a bit about commercial music from that experience.
The story he tells about John Legend (or rather, about some of the people John Legend was working with at the time) illustrates this point: to be able to make music on this level and get paid for it is a complete privilege that should never be taken for granted. People like Trevor never take it for granted. He knows that the music he leaves behind will still be listened to 20 or 40 or 60 years from now, so you'd better get it right. Reminds me of some stories about Steely Dan. For the most part, they poured all of their rock star money into their records rather than rock star extravagances, and they have a legacy of brilliant music to show it.
Thank you. That was just brilliant. Without doubt Trevor Horn is my favourite record producer. His creative skills and ability to dig deep and draw such brilliant musical and vocal ideas and sounds out of the music is second to none. Thank you.
Hits the mark on many topics, and his lack of stress meant that the focus in the audience was sharp without being onerous. A typical example of how subtle and purposeful he was, was the demo of the mic, fairly obvious once he started changing the speaking distance and maybe not apparent for the previous part of the lecture. A few name drops let’s us take his points and hear at our own leisure the recordings and qualities he so successfully elicits in the studio.
It doesn´t really get any better than "Owner of a lonely heart",what a song...what a production!And Trevor plays Dire Straits with some friends!What a brilliant mind!
Trevor is an amazing talent, he simply is a true great at explaining production is the widest, personal sense: the wonderful gift of this class. Brought into the Drama sessions a big Yes fan, awaiting Jon to arrive which never occured and wound up working on 90125 was great fortune.
Some truly wonderful advice related through some fabulous anecdotes-is this the dying art of storytelling as a teaching medium??? Even though I wasn't sure what to expect at first, at an hour or so long, this was a comprehensive and delightful learning experience from a really experienced educator! Thank you very much for sharing this! It was wonderful! :o)
It’s definitely a dying art form especially with platforms like TikTok prioritising sub minute content. But if you liked this vid, check out our one with Arthur Baker about Planet Rock! ua-cam.com/video/8Y93jBY7Wgo/v-deo.html
It was really interesting to hear Trevor’s comments about how he relates to singers. I sing in an amateur band and, even though I have never done any recording, many of his techniques remind me of how our band leader interacts with me and all the other band members when we are rehearsing.
OMG Trevor, just sip the wine already! 😂 This is a fascinating talk. When you're a home studio one-man-show, and you're the singer AND the recording engineer AND the mixing engineer, it adds a few more dimensions. Brilliant video, thanks!
@@pointblankmusicschool Absolute pleasure. It's very insightful, but also reassuring that even the best of the best encounter the very same questions and issues that we amateurs and hobbyists do. To hear someone like Trevor speak, who has been such an integral part of great music for many years, and who has left an indelible mark on pop music, is fantastic. I love hearing stories about the age of 4, 8 or 16 tracks and tape, and how absolutely economical they had to be in how those tracks were allocated and bounced. In the digital age of computer mixing we are so spoilt and it's so easy to use the ease of multitracking in DAWs as an excuse to let artists get away with poor musicianship. Trevor just makes me want to aspire to doing this well from the get-go. Thanks for hosting this. It's brilliant.
Trevor is amazing, this is an amazing knowledge dump, but for me the real money starts at 27:19 because it applies to anyone anywhere recording any vocalist.
This was brilliant. Trevor is a treasure. I’m not in music production in any way but I enjoyed every second. BTW: I saw Trevor live from the front row in a Yes concert.
Cool to hear Trevor talk production. I’ve known him to do work as the Buggles and in The Art of Noise and knew who he was when he did Drama with Yes. I thought he did fine for that album. (Tempus Fugit). He went on to produce for Yes but I wasn’t aware of all the other productions he did. I enjoyed this talk.
What a GREAT VIDEO! Thanks for posting. my favorite advice. if you have a singer struggling with a line re pitch. dont go straight to the problem… Thanks fOr posting
I somehow managed to get into the VIP at a Marillion gig and Trevor Horn was there! I remember my sister urging me to go and speak to him but I didn’t wanna bother him. This interview has answered all the stuff I would’ve wanted to ask him ❤
i have always thought my way of recording was weird, but damn i am so glad that even the pros does the same haha, thank you Mr Trevor Horn for re-assuring me of my recording
Trevor is one of a rapidly dwindling number of producers who are actual musicians as well as amazing producers. I wonder how many of the guys in that room understood all of the musical references/terms he used?
This was really great. I can really relate to all the 'star' singers who were actually one-trick ponies, and getting the magic on tape was a herculean task. Back when i was trying to 'make it', I ran into a lot of those
This is so great! I learned a ton of info. My main take away is the amount of fakery involved. You really put it out there regarding making better recordings with shill artists. Thanks so much for exposing that information!
I distinctly remember him winning the BPI award (nowadays known as Brits) for best producer a couple of times in the '80s, but maybe I recognised his name because ZTT was one of my favourite labels (FGTH and The Art of Noise had got me excited with their use of the Fairlight sampler).
Boy we take for granted some of the things we get to watch on the interent. Guys like Trevor could change $3,000 a head for this and here we are sitting their listening to history and genius for free
That J.G. Ballard story is interesting, there is a man in The Netherlands who cleans up sounds in spaces using copper rings with carbon resistors. His name is Henry van der Heyden. This was a brilliant video BTW, Trevor is still one of the most enigmatic producers in music history.
What was your favourite thing you learnt from Trevor in this masterclass?
The "soft" last take of a song..., shoulders down..., , do it one more time but different...., and dont try to hard...
The basics work!
Very relieved to be able to bypass Atmos without a guilty conscience.
That the best vocal performance is more about the treatment of the talent than the treatment of the tech.
That I am lucky to be alive to experience this masterclass
Big up the editor who concisely, smoothly, subtly cut this talk into 100% killer no filler. Fantastic talk
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic indeed 👍🏻

Btw - his CV at the begging of the class is basically my list of favourite songs of all time. I didn't know he has produced all of them!

Owner of a Lonely heart is such a great production that it was used for a long time by Live sound engineers to calibrate their front mix.
You can tell a lot from what FOH engineers use to test their PA mixes.
That J.G. Ballard story is interesting, there is a man in The Netherlands who cleans up sounds in spaces using copper rings with carbon resistors. His name is Henry van der Heyden.
This was a brilliant video BTW, Trevor is still one of the most enigmatic producers in music history.
