FYI Wu-Tang Clan used only the C414 EB to record the vocals for Enter the 36 Chambers!

5 % playing the sounds and 95% talking…. Why ?

I hear these stories about huge powerhouse people in the business who got their foot in the door by some strange happinstance and I don't know what it is about today's environment but it feels damn near impossible. There is no wandering into a studio in 2024 and getting an internship. Everyone has a home studio or works out of a laptop. Its just a completely different scenario.

I just remember seeing all the audiophile stereo equipment from this time. It was so expensive! Now, even the most humble audio interfaces are virtually, in not entirely, audibly transparent in their conversion.

*correction, YOU'RE nor an artist*

Hahahaha!

A big thumbs up for this presentation. Really well done. My preference, is.... 1 EB 2 B-ULS 3 XLII 4 XLS I love my EB with its original CK12 capsule. It is one of my all-time favourite microphones. 💖

SSL works with Pro Tools only?

Not surprised he likes Prodigy, he's clearly a big fan of Charlie.

I like how he is very detailed when he’s in his created space from, the vibe of the room till going off his emotions when they came up with the beat and song name

Stunning as always 😍🥰😘

My Man Gur- Genius And Soul Brother! Love you!! Ive Beta Testedsome of these modules... I personally don't need anything else and you can get a chance to hear what a Verbos might have sounded like with proper gain staging and without harsh distorting everywhere...;)

His work on Seals first album is a masterclass in production

Ahhhhm. Ahhhhhm

This is one of my favourite studios! Such an inspiration! 💖💖💖

Towards the end, the synthesis got super shtty.. wtf was that crap for?

Great video! Just curious what the song used is? Really liked it :-)

Amazing video. It plays like a table of contents to the Encyclopedia of Mixing but with tantalizing teasers under each entry.

I thought we will have access to the mix videos of each engineer ? Where can we have access ?

He explained that pedal clear as mud. 😅

I’ve been making electronic music (always more of a samplist than a sound designer/synth freak) and I think part of the mystique was being that ‘one guy’ at sixth form who’d bought a used S1000. I had that paired with a Korg X3 and used a fostex x28 four track as a mixer. I used an Acorn Archimedes and a sequencer called Serenade, which worked perfectly well-like a total geek I remember writing to Future Music moaning that they ignored the Acorn. Used that all through uni without adding a thing. Never tried to make it more than a hobby but played my cassettes alongside vinyl records at parties and raves. Point is: would I have been that into ‘poking a daw screen on a laptop’ at 16? Probably not.

i like the wooden case

Is that scope a telequipment serviscope?

Great Paul ! Big hug from Italy !!

❤

Damn that drum beat got me pumping with the Wurst mic

interesting he purchased all that stuff then for 10k and today you get all thet stuff in one unit for less than 1k and it does more...

they us UAD for conversion? LOL hahahahahaha

Those two Scritti albums have mesmerised and fascinated us for decades, conversation upon conversation about them...soooo at LAST I'm hearing the man with the know-how actually talk about the making of them. We got nuggets of info and one or two startling revelations of how it was done but I quite like the fact that we didn't get much in the way of detail. Quite nice to preserve the mystery. I just enjoyed hearing him talk about these masterpieces. Loved his work with Me'shell Ndegeocello too. Peace Beyond Passion is a wonderful album.

About 1.5 years ago, I purchased the Lewitt 540S Subzero condenser microphone. To be honest, I want to warn everyone because I am so disappointed that I can't even express it. I live in Turkey, where the dollar is extremely expensive. Despite this, I fell for Lewitt Audio's deceptive marketing strategies and bought this condenser microphone for myself. My vocals sound so awful that no matter how much I mix, I can’t get rid of that unpleasant tone. To make matters worse, I own an Apollo Twin audio interface, and even with that, the microphone’s performance is terrible. Over the years, I’ve used nearly 10 different microphones, and I’ve never been this dissatisfied. I want to sell it second-hand, but no one is interested. Honestly, I feel like I’ve been scammed. All those videos you see online are lies. This microphone sounds like a $5 microphone and cannot be tamed. I just wanted to warn others. Buying a Lewitt is a regret

£20 in those days was a lot! 😮

Love him and his music❤

The best

Started mixing sound and going lightning for bands back in 1981... this takes me back to old school

totally awesome

How do you get a stereo recording with one mic?

hello I am near Belfort I cannot find this product😊

To the last few comments in the video. Yeah, this rig has more dynamic range because it's using no compression, and no limiting. A lot of modern FOH guys are using compression per channel, then compression/limiting per group of channels, then limiting the crap out of the stereo buss. Modern systems by their very nature have a tremendous amount more dynamic range by virtue of having many times more watts, and power handling of speakers that are crossed over far more precisely by digital drive racks. I noticed how much joy it gave him to say that rig sounded more like vinyl, and modern rigs sound more like an ipod. We can't do it, but I'd go out on the limb in saying if we turned off the 10 layers of dynamics on a modern rig and let Alan Parsons mix Floyd in 1973 using that rig, it would not only be jaw dropping, but it would likely have just as much "vibe", and far more dynamic range. There's a pervasive sickness in audio these days to get "loudness" by using tons of comp/limiting, but that is a style that's chosen by the engineer, not a attribute of the PA rig they're running. That being said, I'm sure that old set up sounded pretty cool. I'd definitely mix a show on it if given the chance. ;) Signed.

Meg. Cracks me up every time

Great song that come out when I was 9 and still love it today.

Genius, he had the formula 😎🎹

I can say ; yes sir , yes ma'am , yes sir , through several points of this video 👍nov.2024

That is a lot of treble

No Linn. ?

I ❤ Will's use of words & diction🎉

Each of them, a wall of noise and distortion. But I suppse that should be expected from that genre of 'music'.

Wish they noted the actual ceiling heights.

My favourite range is mid range

Video Killed the Radio Star is an amazing song. So are the the songs Ellstree and The Plastic Age.

It's loads of fun until it comes time for the wiring.
