IT’S SO GREAT HAVING YOU BACK! You are a masterclass in staying calm and just being an incredibly cool dude. You deserve every bit of your success and I’m incredibly excited for you and your “dream studio”. Ultimately we will all be better for it (can’t wait to hear what comes out of there). I sure hope our paths cross at some point. Welcome back, sir! You’ve been missed.
For me, this is the best educational audio related content you can find on youtube. Thank you so much Eric! Unbelievably happy to have you back. And so good to know that things are finally coming out great after the hassle!
Man, that was a huge job. Playing with tape machines sure has it's own magic but damn I'm grateful we're living in a digital world now. I'll stick with a virtual tape machine for now, thank you
AHHHHH I used to own a studer and sold, in part because I didn't know how to calibrate it. Theres not a tonne of info online. This is a dream come true watching you show & explain what you're doing. Thankyou E.V. you are the GOAT!
I adore Eric and so glad to have him back. Wow I’m glad I never opened that rabbit hole into tape, despite temptation. This episode really illustrates how tape in 2023 only suits certain people with particular skill sets, experience, location with availability of parts, working preferences and patience. My real tape delay stresses me out enough. I’m happy with my Anamod ATS 1. Prob gets me me halfway between digital and Eric Valentine’s J37.
oh man, i used to do sessions here with Louie and Tim...Magical place :) Grateful to have gotten to spend some time there! long live BF! Good luck with the new build and thx for sharing!
Yay!!!!! This is awesome. I'm incredibly excited. Welcome back Mr. Valentine. Hands down on of the top producers creating the best UA-cam content for audio geeks. A huge THANK YOU for sharing wisdom!
Hi Eric, so nice to have you back on the channel, really love your stuff! So awesome to see the process of you wrapping up Barefoot. Thanks for doing this!
Great to have you back Eric. Cool hearing about the old tape machines and the tape transfer process. Magic. Look forward to more. Love your relaxed approach to your channel. Nice one 🎶🎨
Glad that you're giving the artists a chance to get their tapes back, rather than the usual old way of just binning them when they take up too much space.
You are one of my favorite producers. Thank you for sharing your story, and even better, mix/production deconstructions. Yours is my favorite music production channel. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. Glad to see you back at it!
What an absolute mammoth task! Happy that you managed to get it all done and you don't have to worry about it anymore. It's good to see your videos again, Eric!
WOW! I don't know how I happened to stumble across this channel, but this was just amazing to watch...I came from tape way back in the day so this resonated with me from the title alone! You are a trouper man....sticking with it and getting it done over just a few weeks...wow...I know that I have to take the plunge and transfer all of my archived ProTools sessions from DVD to newer media someday soon before they're unreadable, so this was pretty inspiring to say the least...just subscribed, so you know I'm gonna be following through the entire journey!
Wow! From baking to re-smpte striping the things you've recorded, this was amazing! I bet the bands you produced appreciated that. Good on you! Looking forward to the next episode! Because I have to reconstruct a room in my house to record crumbs in, and I'm looking forward to seeing how you approached construction at your studio.
What a monumental task transferring all the old masters, hats off to you Sir! I’m surprised that you’re not using Timeline Lynx synchronisers though. I used to sell them in the UK when I worked at Stirling Audio and in a short period many studios flipped to the Lynx, they just worked every time. Every tape machine in a pull-up menu, TC reshaping, jam sync etc, all the shiz you need man! Btw, love all your amazing vids and I’m a proud owner of 2 x UnderTone MPDI-4, adding the UnfairChild comp at some stage soon. Keep up the amazing work!
Excellent video, it brought back memories and the confusion in those days! You have to be on the ball, great stuff! Your friends Adam Smith Synchronizer and the Lavry saved you! Worth the money
As a Construction Superintendent for Mech/ Elec/Plbg sub contractors - I can only HOPE that in your area, there is a better quality of subs. I hope your construction/ renovation setbacks were not mostly due to the rocky road of MEP scope - yikes!! THANK YOU for sharing!! 😍🙂
Man your kicks always sound amazing even through an iPhone mic. So unique that I feel others have strived for moving forward (copied!). Like a big slab of moist chocolate cake.
Glad to see you back, Eric. I'd love to see a tour/breakdown of your sound treatment in that small room with the couch? Curious the dimensions and how you feel about the results (assuming you mix in there?) I imagine that'd be some relevant content for many of us playing along at home.
He truly is! His name is Alex Proctor (instagram.com/alexproctor_esq/) and he is a wonderfully talented guy. He mixes front of house for Grace (among many other things.)
I found you in produce like a pro academy with warren. I would like to thanks him.I'm kind of new to production and love to know what is the process with analogue era.thank you very much for the video.please do more. liked.subcribed...
I hope you had the Zeta 3 locked to a blackburst generator or you might find that there is wow and flutter between the two 24tk reels when you put them up together. Welcome Back!
23:39 would love to hear the “no vox” lostprophets! also any chance of a “no vox” lostprophets production deconstruction in the future? we really appreciate all the work you do Eric 😊 much love!
I'm watching this video like the Zapruder film in order to spot unreleased T-Ride song names on those tapes. So far I was only able to make out one reel that had Fire It Up, I Hunger and You and Your Friend! Did you usually fit three or four songs on one tape?

Good to see you back, thought we lost you. Cheers!
Man I love to experience the passion you have for sound and music through this weird window that YT is. Super inspiring stuff

Welcome back, your posts have been missed!
That was so great to see those old machines and how you really never give up do you. Cheers and can’t wait to see your next video.
Always a joy to discover a new video from you Eric!

Thanks for sharing how you work, keep those videos coming!
So happy to have you back
This is great! So glad you're back!
I'm so glad I was born in time for the era of cheap, high quality digital recording.
That theme song is outstanding! The keyboard horn arrangements are great and the guitar tricks are like a Tex Avery cartoon. Well Done!
Eric, just absolutely love your insights and your generosity in sharing your experiences and wisdom. Great to have you back!!!
So good to have you back Eric, thank you for all these videos, they are amazingly useful

Very excited to watch this series. It’s such a unique space and plan, I can’t wait to see how it goes.
Hi Eric, so nice to have you back on the channel, really love your stuff! So awesome to see the process of you wrapping up Barefoot. Thanks for doing this!
Ohhh more T-Ride masters! Please please please do another deconstruction of one of those songs. The ZFH one was absolutely unreal. Love your work!
Great to have you back Eric. Cool hearing about the old tape machines and the tape transfer process. Magic. Look forward to more. Love your relaxed approach to your channel. Nice one 🎶🎨

Thanks for taking us down the rabbit hole man! Looking forward to the studio build videos
What an absolute mammoth task! Happy that you managed to get it all done and you don't have to worry about it anymore. It's good to see your videos again, Eric!
Wow, what a process. Ive never ever ever even seeeeen this mystical and mythical thang known as TAPE. Thanks for the experience Eric!
WOW! I don't know how I happened to stumble across this channel, but this was just amazing to watch...I came from tape way back in the day so this resonated with me from the title alone!

Amazing to see this process, thank you for the detailed descriptions. You rock sir! Pls keep making these
Those drums sound so great! You're such an animal Eric!
Did I hear him right that Josh Freese played drums AND bass on this track?
I totally miss my Ampex MM 1200 tape machine and I totally don't miss it!!! :)
This was fabulous. Very excited for the rest of the documentary. Thank you Eric!
so glad you are back man.

Such valuable info! Thanks for comin back!

Thank you so so much for documenting this stuff Eric!!!!❤❤❤
He's back!!!!!
Thank you! You’re a treasure!
So happy you're back!
Wow brings me back to sync issues with multitracks.
Man your kicks always sound amazing even through an iPhone mic. So unique that I feel others have strived for moving forward (copied!). Like a big slab of moist chocolate cake.
Cool video!
Early 2000s was a long time ago. May not feel like it to some but it definitely was!
Welcome back
Man what a privilege to record Josh Freese
Love this new format!
So glad you're back.
I missed you so much :')
Amazing.
Glad to see you back, Eric. I'd love to see a tour/breakdown of your sound treatment in that small room with the couch? Curious the dimensions and how you feel about the results (assuming you mix in there?) I imagine that'd be some relevant content for many of us playing along at home.
Yes! I will get into that down the road. I will refer to it when I go over all the acoustic treatment of the new control room :)
Amazing episode Eric!
Awesome!!!
I bet the dude in the bad brains shirt is a treat to have around.
He truly is! His name is Alex Proctor (instagram.com/alexproctor_esq/) and he is a wonderfully talented guy. He mixes front of house for Grace (among many other things.)
fascinating!
glad the buddy is back!

This channel will go down in history mark my words. Also… I have a great idea for Undertone. Get at me and I’ll let you know! Kinda joking kinda not.
I haven't heard of or even thought about Jam Sync in 18 years...
I hope you had the Zeta 3 locked to a blackburst generator or you might find that there is wow and flutter between the two 24tk reels when you put them up together. Welcome Back!
Love it. Got a Studer B62 but scared to play with. Need also a revision.
legend. so crazy what it takes sometimes!!
Love these!
That was awesome!
You're back!!!
Wow! That’s quite an anxiety inducing process 😂
Welcome back!
I hear the theme song and I hit thumbs up. No exceptions. Hahaha
23:39 would love to hear the “no vox” lostprophets!
also any chance of a “no vox” lostprophets production deconstruction in the future?
we really appreciate all the work you do Eric 😊 much love!
Also, cool jacket! haha
Here we all go down the rabbit hole again. I still need to get the Saturn plug-in.
I'm watching this video like the Zapruder film in order to spot unreleased T-Ride song names on those tapes. So far I was only able to make out one reel that had Fire It Up, I Hunger and You and Your Friend! Did you usually fit three or four songs on one tape?
Imagine having the Songs for the Deaf mastertape, oh lawwwd!!
Kamana waee mang Eric?
Glad to have you back!
Wow!!
