    Love Rob's work, specifically, his Elliott Smith album's. XO and Either/Or - Those albums are perfectly mixed, to me... It captured the era perfectly. Slightly lo-fi at times, then sonic brilliance at others. Then Figure 8 was just so clean and tight...

    This was one of the most real/organic conversations you've posted for PLP to date. Favorite moment... cleaning fluid ruined the meter screen! It was like your bass cabinet mic stand - why? It was the right height. Very cool interview. Rob came alive when talking about how his gear effected sound. Awesome.

      Hi +Darlene Sheffield I agree 100%!! Being English his whole style makes perfect sense to me! Well thought out and measured! He has a pure love of music, not just the technical but the musical!! I love being able to talk to people on an honest level, just talk music, not frequencies, not look at screens and talk about how the sound 'looks'!! Haha Have a marvellous time recoding and mixing, many thanks Warren

    Once again Warren, thank you for your channel and for these interviews you do. There is nothing quite like them on YT or anywhere. It feels like us home studio guys get to just go around town visiting real people making great records. And also, while I love to geek out over the equipment, the message never gets lost. It is after all about the songs. Keep up the great work, you and your team are giving some really fantastic content to us. Cheers!

    Hi Friends, I got to visit Rob Schnapf at his studio MANT. Rob has made a ton of fantastic records! We talk about Bowie and all things music, his journey and get a tour of the studio and his great collection of gear. Rob really is an amazing example of someone who has made amazing albums on a shoestring budget! He made Beck's 'Mellow Gold' on a Foster E8 and a Roland Hard Disk recorder and the 'Loser' video for about $3,000 for everything!! Please check out the video, comment and share, you all Rock! Have a marvellous time recoding and mixing, many thanks Warren

    Very cool interview with Schnapf!
    @24:50 IIRC the small venue where the unknown Beck performed in Little Toyko was called Troy Cafe (formerly Atomic Cafe). This interview reminded my fuzzy memory I was at one of those shows, I don't recall it being very crowded. One of the other other acts might have been called Kill Whitey?

  • @noisesoundtonevibe

    I'm a little younger than Warren, was a young kid in the early 80s but I agree that music between mid/late 70s and early 80s was amazing. Production especially.
    The Roland was called VS-880, I had one too. It was cool enough but nothing like today's DAWs power! :)

  • @crowdx422
    @crowdx422 8 років тому +1

    From Classic Tracks website:
    "Modelled on Basing Street, the Compass Point control room was equipped with a 48-channel MCI console, 24-track MCI tape machine and monitors comprising Tannoy Red drivers inside Lockwood cabinets, as well as a then-standard array of outboard gear and good selection of microphones."
    "With Johnson’s performances all committed to tape, Mutt Lange, Malcolm Young and Cliff Williams then took care of the backing vocals, including a few that were overdubbed during the mix. This took place at New York’s Electric Lady in May of 1980 as Tony Platt far preferred the idea of using the Neve 8078 console there than Compass Point’s MCI."
    So I believe you were correct Warren ;)

    • @Producelikeapro
      @Producelikeapro  8 років тому

      Hi +Patrick Thanks for the info! So all of those amazing Drums. guitars and Basses were tracked on the MCI? Fantastic! Then vocals and mixing were presumably done on the Neve 8078. Wonderful!! Have a marvellous time recoding and mixing, many thanks Warren

    I know this is massively lazy of me, but it'd be ace if all the pop-up links that come up in the videos

  • @thewnad
    @thewnad 3 роки тому

    Spot on. As a musician I’ve always had that conflicting mindset of ambiguity in lyrics. It has the potential of creating dogma that has the potential to twist or add gravity to your art that has negative potential and perverse reaction. It caused me to put more thought into the songs and albums I’m putting out there.

    • @JunkBondTrader
      @JunkBondTrader 2 роки тому

      It can do that, but the way I see it, I don't care what people will make of it. Elliott Smith for example, a lot of his songs or lyrics weren't some deeply thought out, consistent storyline with a defined meaning. I think he wrote lines, or chose words that worked, sounded good, flowed well, and maybe pointed towards a feeling or mood he was trying to capture... Maybe his earlier songs were more of a story, like his folky Roman Candle tracks. Then you hear people write a thesis on what his songs meant. They probably thought asbout it more than he did. I like to write for melody and atmosphere... Not trying to get a message out there, and so if people derive specific meaning from it, that's on them.
      Reminds me of that video of Lennon talking to a mentally ill fan who thought John was communicating to him through his lyrics. Neat 2 minute video you can find on UA-cam. He shows up at his house and John basically just tried to calm him and get those delusions out of his head.

    Pads change to Sonics in some products, depending on circuit design because it can in some circuits & circumstances change the input impedance to the preamp... which as we know changes the sound/flavor. Dependent totally on circuit design of the preamp in use.....

    Hello Warren, thank you for these videos I find them very enjoyable and informative to watch.. My question is regarding his choice of speakers, I have the B&W 802 but I use them for my hi fi home audio, I didn't think you can use audio speakers as monitors since they are not really designed to run flat? Am I wrong, or can audio speakers be used as monitors? Thank you

      Hi P.o.B pedals, that's a huge grey area! I personally blew up my parents home HiFi speakers using them to record on! Haha. But some would say B&W's are great quality speakers, so they should at least get you going!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

    I couldn't watch on PLAP site (wouldn't load but, again, might be a problem on my end).So much to say about this one.Early in the interview you guys discussed what practice is for. It made me think of how actors have adopted the Shakespearian line, "The play's the thing," with my own added part, "Not the rehearsal." Then you said about people making excuses about needed one more piece of equipment or this or that new something. This inspired my new quote of the day, "Make do, or you're full of shit!"Sorry.That Fostex R8 was what I dreamed of having way back when. I had to settle for a Yamaha 4 track cassette (with on board mixer) and an R1 reverb. I still have both.I really appreciate these studio tours. I think that even if you never have a chance of owning all this great equipment it is still so valuable to learn the how and the why of this stuff. IT gets you thinking about what one can do to get better sounds, even if VST is your only way to get them.The best lesson, I think, is to quote Rob, "Stacking layers of simplicity." I have an instrumental (guitar) song called "Race Day". When I went to multitrack it I created this awesome bass line. It had groove and funk and make you move... but mixed in it ruined the track. The song is about the lead guitar over the rhythm not a "lead" bass. I've known that when I return to it I'll have to simplify the bass guitar part a lot. "Stacking layers of simplicity" is great instruction.

      Hi +L. Scott Music Thanks very much for your great words and amazing insight! Yes the Fostex R8 was beyond my humble means as well! Haha Yes 'stacking layers of simplicity' is an amazing quote! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

    • @fragilegods

      I also took note of "stacking layers of simplicity." It helped crystallize an idea I've had for some time. I also wrote down the next bit when I was watching - "these simple ideas and you put them together and you end up with something greater." Not as quotable but it completes the thought. :) Thanks for the interview Warren!

      Hi +Alejandro Torrez I love Neve 1073's! My favourite version is definitely the BAE 1073, the Golden Age is a great affordable pre, but it doesn't have the expensive Transformers in it. It's all about how much you have to spend, the GA is great for the money! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

    hi Warren, Thank you so much for these videos......so great. I just turned a friend on to your stuff today, (when he mentioned to me, and I quote, "my mixes sound like soup....").
    so here's a question (or two.).... if you have a moment.
    I'm running cubase, I have a mackie blackjack interface, (2x2)...... say I have a $1000 or so to spend, should I get a better mic, (I have a cheapy Audia Technica, an old RodeNT1, and an ART ribbon...), or should I get a better preamp, or a compressor to put in front... (I also have an focusrite trakmaster original...).
    I've signed up for your newsletters, but really think I need to get in with the upgrade on your site.....
    again, thanks again for all of this content and info.... just amazing.......cheers.

    Hey Warren! great stuff as usual....
    I know DIYRE products but never known someone use'em really on top studios. When you need standards you probably look for Nve's , API's etc
    Have a look at that in the TapeOp review anyway.
    Another good company that make similar DIY stuff is HairBall Studio in Seattle
    I thought to build a couple of mic pres by myself but it's risky to order them overseas...too much customs to pay .
    For people in europe at least it's not worthwhile I think
    keep it up ;)
    Ciao,

    I have a good brain picking question for you gents, or anyone for that matter: what is your tactic(s) for minimizing snare buzz and rattle from tom and kick hits? Especially in the bottom snare mic. I've tried everything that I can think of, what is everyone else's ideas?

    • @Producelikeapro
      @Producelikeapro  8 років тому

      Hi +Jared Pennock Hmmm...are they really loose? Firstly I would tighten them unless you want extremely loose sounding bottom snare, secondly I would look at sjidechaining a compressor to the kick if it's really bad, gate would be my last resort. I hope that helps? Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren.

    • @capturelightmedia
      @capturelightmedia 8 років тому +1

      +Produce Like A Pro I don't believe they are too tight. Either way though, the drummer isn't going to let me adjust it. I will give a sidechain a try. My favorite gate is actually on the MaxxVolume, the big brother of MV2. Great for toms. You should really give it a try.

    • @Producelikeapro
      @Producelikeapro  8 років тому

      Hi +Jared Pennock Yes try sidechaining compression from the kick to the snare, lightly compressing the kick hits out of the snare track! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren.

  • @L.Scott_Music
    @L.Scott_Music 8 років тому +1

    I almost forgot. I share a similar opinion about guitars. Excluding real actual classics with history, I think that once your get much passed the $1500 range for a new guitar you are really paying for finer appointments (generally). I bought my Gibson SG new for $800. I did this knowing the base construction of the guitar was as good as one twice the price but that I fully intended to modify and make it my own. It's not a good idea to spend $1500, or $2000 just to undo it! And really, if you are really into guitars, aren't you going to end up making it your own eventually? Among other things, I put a P94 in the neck position. Now it's a great blues rocker.

    • @Producelikeapro
