    Fascinating that EMI and Capitol would have engineers starting out on mastering, to then know what not to do as an engineer. As a student, I've always found mastering appealing, but thought that I had to learn to be a great engineer before I went anywhere near it. Really great insight!

    MORE MORE MORE!!!! Yes please do more, his Miles stories alone kept me riveted and when he started in with side chain, I learned more from him then a month in school!!! Now on to your question, I'm rather old at 61 in this field but I would love to record the venerable Peter Gabriel, or Sting. Reason, I'm a drummer first, a bassist second, and a guitarist third and I feel what they do as if i'm in their heads. I relate to the time signatures and mood swings as well as a spatual space with relation to the vocals always moving in unexpected ways. Well, a man can dream can't he?

    Only two volumes (loud and dim) wasn't quite working for me so the 2400 Audio Imperium was a similar but more flexible solution; static, unchanging levels for total consistency, but 8 total level selections allow checking 8 volumes quickly. Plus it has 8 stereo outs so I'm able to provide clients with the brand of monitor they're familiar with; we have ATCs, Amphions, NS-10s, Auratones, Mackie's, etc, all at the touch of a button, with pristine sound. But for mastering I can absolutely understand his "only two levels" solution. Simplicity! Great interview! Kudos!

    I've always wanted to hear a good long form interview with Doell. Great job!
    The Sinatra story at 41:30. I saw numerous situations like that go down in my early days as a cartage guy in the 80s....OOOOH BOY!! :-o
    Back then I was told stories about Prince working at Larrabee. They would have just finished a tracking session, with everything setup for tracking, then Prince would say, "ok I want to mix", and he meant RIGHT NOW!. Guys would be diving over the console to re-patch things to his liking, maybe put up other mons if that's what he wanted at that moment.......and you did NOT argue with him. Just like Sinatra, he got what he wanted when wanted it, period end of story!
    Editing at 52:40.....truth be told, I was gutted first time I heard about all the editing that occurred on those early jazz records. I've gotten over that now ;:-) .........so many amazing stories!!
    "Get it at the root not the fruit"....golden sage words!

    Pesky question here: can you elaborate more on how the age of professional mixing and mastering engineers can or can not affect the quality of their work along with years passing by? How can you deliver a good audio product alongside with a natural hear loss due to the age? How the experience and the feeling of a good master can overcome the reality of not hearing certain frequencies in your late 50's and over? And how can you professional audio engineers protect your hearing year after year? Thanks for all your top notch content Warren!
