I've gladly watched about 12 cumulative hours of interviews with Andrew Scheps, and I have to say; this is the best. Thanks, guys.

[@RecordProduction]

Thank you Jon, please spread the word :)

[@matublanco]

hahhh me too

[@matublanco]

and heard such awful questions, in other interviews... Thanks for sharing guys, Thanks Andrew!

[@JunkyardSam]

So I'm not the only one! I literally watch every video either with or about Andrew Scheps. He's the most likable guy in audio, and a great teacher who is happy to share his knowledge and experience.

[@edwardx.winston5744]

The Scheps/JJP streaming video was a truly epic meeting of the minds. We are spoiled to behold these towering giants and learn their insights.

[@GingerDrums]

As a true audio engineer interview fanatic, this must be one of the best interviews of an audio engineer that I have watched. Great info, he's comfortable, you are curious, boom great result.

[@ricemilk3185]

This man is super relaxed this is why the studio world love him.

[@electricbuffalo4137]

Such a gracious and down to earth guy. I could listen to him talk about this stuff for hours.

[@ostreetsteve1259]

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.

[@Retrostasis]

Awesome, he's in the UK now. It's a pleasure to have you here, Andrew!.

[@JunkyardSam]

I love listening to Andrew Scheps talk about anything TBH. I'm pretty sure I've listened to every KZbin video with him in it. Thanks for posting this!!!

[@6randonz]

This is the best Scheps interview ever. Great job interviewing!

[@philpower_]

Would love to have been a fly on the wall watching Scheps record Kiedis's vocals. Or during his time with MJ in the HIStory era. What a superb interview, thanks so much for this.

[@joegridl]

one of the best interview videos i've ever watched. Great Russell!!

[@TimBunch]

I love hearing industry people like Andrew who are humble, just regular people with great talent. Great interview!

[@jontrawlerman8502]

I imagine Andrew would be fantastic to work with simply because of his manner and personality. His approach gets the best out of the artist he works with and they bring the best out of him which is usually outstanding.....Great guy!

[@jerrycraftproductions581]

What a great interview to watch. A.S. has been such an inspiration to me and helped me be a better producer. Thanks for this candid insight in to his new chapter.

[@peterjacobson2840]

Always enjoy listening to Andrew's take on recording. Thanks for making these videos and doing these interviews.

[@rosariobellassai8224]

Thank you for that interview!

[@scgoralski]

What a great interview, thank you!

[@JamesAlexanderJack]

I'd like to like this video ten times over. So many new insights and tips into mixing and recording.

[@joshcoxmusic]

I absolutely love this. Andrew is one of my favorite engineers in the world. What a great interview

[@adrianwagner336]

"what were we talking about?" "i dont know!" and neither did i but i went right along for the ride so much fun to watch...and garsh dang if i didnt manage to learn somethin along the way

[@izziOnBass]

I myself putting up a small recording place probably 0.001% of anything professional. I now listen to Andrews interview it is very inspirational!

[@studiosix4431]

Awesome content. I saw him at aes at Namm. He is always going and going. Inspiring!

[@nickparas7170]

Superb, insightful interview and a nice guy to boot. Thanks!

[@m.o.n.d.e.g.r.e.e.n]

scheps talking pub and snooker, so english! this guy generally is so refreshing i love his softness

[@bryanmclellan1588]

Fantastic studio! Was lucky enough to do a record here a few years ago.

[@Quant-Beat]

Andrew Scheps, you should have a professor title in audio! It's not often one listens so carefully, but here we have the real deal. EXCELLENT!

[@SonicologyRecords]

Super interview thanks so much

[@jorrickthole6505]

Amazing interview! Fun educative inspiring. Thank you for this great hour plus 👍😊

[@L.A.W.Studios]

Thank You Very Much Mr Scheps, very useful..

[@karrot101]

What a great interview

[@stephengreenmusic]

47 minutes in, and before I forget to write, I'm thoroughly enjoying this! Great interview.

[@raimundolanas4273]

great interview, thank you!

[@buddymorgan3198]

The line about him starting on the french horn and switching to trumpet to be more cool was exactly what happened to me in high school!!

[@erestube]

I recently saw his waves plugin and thought he was some kind of mad scientist with the beard and all. But what a down-to-earth likable guy he seems to be. And not a nervous tic in sight! Thank you for the inspiration.

[@brianjohnson9802]

Unlike the interviewer. He's nervous and ticky as hell.

[@viniciusdeoliveira7209]

Great Interview!!

[@phil_marshall]

Scheps just make a talk in my uni. This guy is a god

[@norepetitivebeats]

Thanks for this content. Andrew seems very enthusiastic talking about his craft here so I think you achieved a very informative interview. Great stuff. This has taught me a hell of a lot.

[@thechannelitrollwith1645]

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.

[@miropajictechno]

coolest guy ever!

[@nerdhound5891]

The interviewer has done well. He's clearly nervous and sometimes awkward but still manages to get the best out of Scheps! A seriously fantastic session!

[@davidjonathan3854]

Andrew is DA man!!! Thank you! wealth of knowledge here..

[@Seven-pl9rd]

I love this man

[@mykaub]

This is amazing I can listen to him talk about the craft endlessly! Thanks again gents! Superb content as always! 🎸

[@DropAnchor1978]

Mike Aubin I so agree. He is never boring!

[@heribertogarcia5200]

Awesome program

[@joaoantoniovione484]

I'm yet to count how often he said "amazing"... Hence, amazing interview!

[@m.i.andersen8167]

Trackball! Nice to hear. I thought I was one of the last ones still using that kind of thing:)

[@mastertapes1420]

joy to listen....tnx

[@skylarcarlson7745]

Great stuff.

[@AKingOfBass]

Awesome interview! Thanks

[@RecordProduction]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@zvonimirsarcevic7928]

great interview..:)

[@plummetplum]

Didnt realise he mixed stadium arcadium, i love that album.

[@thejigantics2641]

I was lucky to record at Monnow Valley.... a great studio now sadly no more

[@ulrikslgaard-nielsen5035]

Having a 60 channel Neve console - uses one channel (and a U87? And an 1176?) for an interview :D Loved this interview! I'll be buying a house and building a studio this year so looking for gear, and lot's of good stuff in this! Thanks for this great interview!

[@phucdc7648]

hanks lot Sir.. You helping us..

[@fernandoojeda2132]

A mic in the middle of the studio! And you can hear that like a super radio studio FM with a lots of mics! That is awesome!!

[@redbigapplefloppa302]

I was reluctant to click this video at first because of the clickbaity-ish title but once i ran out of other scheps videos to watch i surrendered and now i'm glad i did bc the content is pretty good

[@RiotHomeRecording]

Love that console, being able to track a full live band with that board is a Dream session.

[@enkiea8322]

You're right but having such a great desk, great mics and then dumping it into a computer? 😣

[@DontWorryImAPilot]

@@enkiea8322 I don't know. His records definitely sound good. I'm not sure the computer is holding him back. Is it holding anyone else back?

[@enkiea8322]

@@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]

​@@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"?

[@drummerjeroensimons]

Great stuff guys!!! ;)

[@fviannaval]

This is absolute gold!

[@mrscientificterms]

excellent.

[@starboy2013]

His wife checking his mix is sweet. They can be really objective.

[@vib_di]

wow Really Great. What comes out of the speaker is what Matters Nobody is looking screen .

[@TheLboogie330]

dudes a genius

[@siewierap]

he is genius!!

[@cesarepelaschier4829]

so easy to listen to andrew

[@chrismcdermott7766]

I wanted to hear more about how digital is Math and analog is Physics but great interview

[@musician1971a]

Hearing this interview I just keep thinking there's hope for me. I approach mixing exactly the same way Andrew does. Not at his level of course, but many people will try to convince me I'm doing it all wrong. Apparently I don't

[@HR2635]

believe in your gut feeling..its right 99% of the time. The remaining 1% is probably also correct but illegal

[@ns1983za]

Surely, by this time, he has realised that French horn IS indeed cool enough :)

[@JM-pw5fy]

U BEST!!!

[@augustourbinibateria]

"Destroying the dynamic range, thats what I basically do". Wow. Revealing.

[@66fitton]

I believe he's talking about what happens when you use parallel compression. Not about his mixes. Saw a great video on parallel compression and how to compensate for the dynamic range destruction. Dont have the link, but if you look you'll find it. Cheers

[@khimasagar7155]

it work on my pc thx bro vеry much

[@bumberClart1000]

Excellent. Subbed 😊

[@RecordProduction]

Thank you 🙂

[@alienair1748]

Mr Scheps is amazing. Ive learned so much from his insight. I was kinda surprised he said an AKG D112 for inside kick.. Im an Audix D6 guy. 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.

[@davejohnsonmusic]

Scheps is a Snooker fan? I like him even more now.

[@Charlyfromthenuclearcity]

This interview is pretty old right ? It was before the release of Post-Pop Depression DVD and the release of Parallel Particles plug-in. Great interview anyway !

[@RecordProduction]

Hi, we recorded this on the 2nd July 2016 and had put out extracts covering some key topics but decided to put the whole video out. Thanks for watching :-)

[@Charlyfromthenuclearcity]

Okay thanks ! This is the first time I come across your channel. :) Thanks for this valuable content !

[@Zakuti]

"I started on French Horn and switched to Trumpet because French Horn wasn't cool enough" Hahahahahahahahaha

[@lewisticknor]

I mix in the box, and this console, um, it's for the headphone mix because I only record with it. And the remote on my console is for a really great headphone mix. And Waves plugins are better than hardware.

[@anyerquantum.nuclearrites]

pffff wow, i love the song of low roar at the trailer of death stranding

[@italianbirdvideos6190]

I had about seventy-five "Note to self" moments...

[@hiponicaudio7930]

Scheps and I would get along well.. Akwerd in our silence yet perfect comfortable... I get ya bro lol

[@RickyMontijo]

I want to be on his Label!! 😜😜😜

[@flutsh1]

Russell Kortier on recording squeaky desk chairs 👍🏻

[@Nature_Quixote]

1:00:53 Does anyone know what guitar solo he is talking about? Its on By The Way by the Red Hot Chili Peppers...

[@doncolga08]

Bahaha! Sounds like they've got frets!

[@AudioReplica2023]

is incredible how we can see all this famous engineers talking about arrangement and capture a vibe ...while amateurs focus in gear and plugins.

[@RecordProduction]

Gear is only a small part of it... :-)

[@dcly2713]

The Dolby Atmos stuff, fair bit ease off on the itb sell your plug ins stuff?

[@samchoate1719]

When I first watched this, it dawned on me why the figure 8 polar pattern was likely invented. Interviews. Bluh

[@RecordProduction]

It came in handy :-)

[@slavesforging5361]

and the Beatles! they'd both sing into opposite sides of a mic for live tv shows and such.

[@stadiopoistudio508]

Now in the UK, Time for some Reggae then....

[@blazing6string]

What song did they use the mallets on the acoustic for? I can’t make out what the interviewer is asking most of the time. I hear shmmsmhshss

[@patriciobenetti4117]

Young singers with frets 😂 That's totally truth!

[@Arlo360]

Sony C-37A Vintage Tube Condenser Microphone about $9,000 used. So ya, if you don't just so happen to have one lying around, get yours today.

[@hochha]

Andrew should try a D. W. Fearn VT-7 compressor, it would change the way he thinks about compression.

[@bb-of3qz]

2:35 to 2:44 is the best argument for why outboard is still the most important part of the equation. Yes guys like this can mix 100% in the box when the get tracks that where recorded with great outboard gear.

[@jgerman5544]

If you live in the UK and you have room for a snooker table, you're doing alright.

[@quadrod]

29:57 , what record are they talking about here?

[@nickmandleberg]

Favez - En Guarde

[@mothkinsman]

I've been scrolling through the comments looking for this question before asking myself. Thank you!

[@andywilliam367]

Auto tune sounds like they got fret 😂😂😂 Good one Sir. Andrew

[@scotthstevenson]

Beautiful interview relationship

[@ProphayniaX]

Beth I hear you callin Just leave me the fuck alone Me and the boys are playing And I won’t be coming home ...

[@t.c.494]

When he said how he mics guitar amps dead center on the dust-cap the record screeched and the video ended.

Great interview! I don't want to believe that you used a single mono microphone, this is all about sound guys, and just with one microphone?

[@perrypelican9476]

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?
