Cenzo Townshend: Decoy Studios & The Maccabees

[@eduardojvivas]

I have no words, truly amazing

[@Audiojunkk]

What an absolute don. This guy is doing it proper!

[@chenguefer156]

Very interesting video, amazing content. Many thanks for sharing!

[@NorthernSkiesMusic]

Absolutely phenomenal interview! Cenzo, Really knows what it takes. So much stellar information in this 30min vid. killer. cheers!

[@LuxElliott]

Very well done video. Bravo!

[@LittleZdy]

It's the exact opposite of many post facilities. Basements with stuffy and stale atmosphere in the middle of an industrial estate. To this: heaven on earth.

[@GemExperience]

Great interview. I understood everything :)

[@Wolfie99]

Fantastic insight. Many thanks.

[@dmrsk1899]

I honestly didn't understand most of the stuff being talked about, but this video is enough to make me regret not learning music engineering

[@tjrox]

Don't feel bad, 99% of the people who study music engineering can't find a job except in some bedroom studio.

[@JC3D]

17:35 the mix and band sound so great!

[@BenA718]

Very inspiring interview! I am curious how they keep noise under control with all of those vintage units ganged together ...

[@revol40]

Cenzo is ACE!

[@the-matrix-has-you]

Best drums phase information really helpful

[@taylerphelps7089]

Amazing!

[@artyfuffull]

Great interview

[@d_s_ctube]

Great stuff.

[@AlexSolano]

His explanation of phase is significant. Can anyone expand on this or direct me to a forum where this is discussed more clearly? Is Cenzo referring to 1.) flipping the polarity on a console, 2.) Moving the waveform to match the phase of the other tracks? or, 3.) using time-alignment plugins to adjust for phase?

[@foxytv4896]

Have you figured it out yet? If yes fine, if not I can give you some clues. Cheers

[@JacobPadlock]

That patch bay on the SSL is going to give me nightmares.

[@ricksalt6860]

Just wondering , are there artist / music grants from the Govt. or is the a number of philanthropical organizations in Great Briton ? Seeing some really impressive studios from there .

[@koukouvania]

good stuff!

[@eds4754]

The man is a god.

[@Filix125]

Shawn seems like a lovely lovely dude

[@tekis0]

Both of the staff engineers seem like they'd be really nice to work with.

[@tekarts]

Cenzo drivin' his Benzo! O-K!

[@Hydrate_music]

Why did you place your Focal Sm9 speakers the wrong way? They should be switched, so it matches left and right speaker.

[@ZephyrCrypto]

It's not wrong. If you have a small room width wise then the focals can sound better with the bass drivers on the inside

[@Hydrate_music]

Didn´t knew that.. Maybe I should try to switch mine and se what works the best. Thanks.

[@GolerGkA]

I don't get it. Why use SSL strip emulation when you have SSL console in the same room?

[@tyrone05]

bc you can sometimes get the same or even better sound quicker or easier. Plugins have gotten exceptionally better these days

[@ZiadSidawi]

Because they need to work faster. The mixer isn’t even turned on.

[@tarragon9030]

Anyone know the purpose of them using Pure Evoke 2 speakers? They had one in second mixing room and also in the library. Do they just enjoy listening to the radio between mixing sessions?

[@jackflamusic]

David Hasselhoff 31:09

[@guywithoutthought]

A lot of time is spent mixing on that radio to get the balance right.

[@WillyJunior]

Looks and talks like a conservative politician, mixes like an absolute beast.

Why is Ed Sheeran interviewing this folks AGAIN!?

[@user-yk4gd1fl4z]

Who the hell are the Maccabees? Never heard of em.

[@WillyJunior]

GOOGLE IT FOOL

[@chrischoir3594]

Why wouldn't there be a DI available? this makes no sense

[@andrewwhitehouse1878]

I (think) he means that sometimes when a client provides him the files to mix from, (ie not recorded at his place) that they may not have provided a separate DI track. Perhaps never recorded or already summed with an amp mic track before hand?

[@spn7594]

Cool studios, would never reached by amateur bedroom producer 😏

[@alexmuli]

Ed sheeran!hahah

[@lumpyfishgravy]

Seems like an architectural wonder disguised as a sound studio.
