    Condolences Andrew. Ryan's Passing and the loss of his amazing voice in Low Roar and your collaboration with him and the band will be a major loss. Thank you for getting him and his muse out there.The world is a better place because you did Bud! Your ears are still ahead of your time. Low Roar is and will be a much welcomed and soulful tread in music and gaming for years to come. Thank you.

    I know this is a different setting, but people were confused why another interviewer was getting shit on a different video. This video explains why. This is an example of a good interviewer. The answers Andrew gives will always be top notch and honest for wherever he is in his career, but being able to enjoy them can't be underestimated. These reactions and the insight, the fluidity, and the passion contained in this specific interview surpasses most if not all others I've seen so far. I'm not even sure if the topics were quite as riveting or fresh as the others, but this was the most enjoyable by far.

      @enkiea8322 5 років тому

      @@DontWorryImAPilot I don't think it's "holding him back." I just always liked (when able) to record to 2" tape, that's all. Especially when you have such a nice desk and outboard stuff. Just my opinion/preference, I probably should have been clearer as not to upset your delicate sensibilities. I get it though. Any chance we can get to be a condescending smart ass at the expense of someone else's opinion on lack of clarity; We take it! Good on you for having the right answers and the approval of the majority, you're a WINNER!

    • @DontWorryImAPilot
      @DontWorryImAPilot 5 років тому

      ​@@enkiea8322 No offense intended. My apologies if it sounded that way!
      My point in saying the computer isn't holding anyone back: I didn't record music for a very long time because I thought a computer wasn't good enough. My band was saving up to record a full length at a great studio and it basically ended the band. Then, I decided I wasn't going to wait anymore and said "the computer is good enough for now." I've made the best stuff of my life after I embraced the computer.
      Since then, my work has been good enough that enough people asked me to make their records and I opened a studio. The studio business has grown to the point that I can mix digital or I can mix analog. Neither is better. Literally, it's just different tools. The computer doesn't hold me back. I'm not anywhere near Andrew Scheps's level but I'm also making music professionally. It's not holding him back either.
      It IS interesting, though...as soon as you felt a little pushback, you made sure to condescend and lash out. But you said I did that and called me weak and delicate for doing it. Are you also delicate? Wasn't the point of your condescension to point out how much better you are than me? Funny how you've stooped to the thing you said you're above.
      Truthfully, I didn't intend to make you feel attacked. Sorry for doing that! I'd love to hear some of the stuff you've done to tape, though. I don't get to go to tape but I've mixed tape captures brought into the computer through analog and that sounded pretty cool. Do you have any links available to the stuff you've recorded to 2"?

Ive owned both and the D6 has way more meat on the bottom. The outter 47 FET is supurb. . I guess its subjective depending on the type of sound he wants, but I didnt think the D112 was all that great.

    Andrew, if mixing is your favorite job then you are living the dream but if preproduction is what you really love and you can afford it, which I know you can, then give up jobs to get yourself into more preproduction. Reinvent your job definition. But the perfect scenario is not necessary if you are having tons of fun, which is obviously what is going on. Seeing you in various interviews over the years, you are clearly happiest now and passion is the thing. Keep it going like it is because it’s a great formula. What does your wife do?
