Daniel Lanois Makes Hit Records in Strange Places // An Interview from Mojave Audio

[@pjnewman5947]

Daniel and Geoff Emerick are the reason I became an engineer/producer and love out of the ordinary rooms. Thanks Dan and RIP Geoff!

[@kevinkappelman6227]

I could listen to Daniel talk all day. God bless him.

[@sythe77]

Danny being Danny. There's no one else like him. The lessons learned at Grant, expanded, deepened and on the road to forever, are still shining. Great to see him!

[@ernestbuckley8671]

If its good for Daniel Lanois, its good for the rest of us. ❤❤❤

[@officialmoondancer]

It's a $4000 mic... it better be good for every damn set of ears on the planet

[@paultorbert6929]

Price means nothing until you know how to use the tools…..

[@CK2008able]

'The folks I was working with' AKA U2 haha. Daniel is so humble

[@jamesseabrook3631]

Absolutely Love Daniel Lanois. His way of thinking about music production has been a bigger influence on my own than any other. And now I’ve never wanted a mic more!!! 🤓🥳

[@iPhone-Cinematograhy]

One of my favourite musicians...

[@kevinbarrett9615]

Danny’s work on Dylan’s album “ Oh Mercy” remains as one of the best recordings he did in the last 50+ years. His work recording U 2 is the stuff of legends.

[@MichelCharron-x5j]

We went to the grade school in Hull, Quebec but he was a year ahead of me.

[@aperequest]

I’ve been a fan of his since I first heard Time out of Mind. I had fallen in love with a Royer 122 around the same time as when I first heard that record years ago. I heard David Royer was making a remake or a tribute to a C-37a and I bought it. If you’re interested in this mic and not sure if you want to get one, get it. I’m honestly not just saying that. It’s opened up such a wonderful space of vocal recording that I’ve never been able to find before. Great microphone.

[@monsieurd.]

Thank you Monsieur Lanois

[@MissMoneyPenny-zzz]

“Just the way it is…” Daniel. ❤

[@g3cd]

Damn, I wish I would find one of those at the bottom of a Capn' Crunch box 😭

[@supermash1]

Yeah, it's quite a prize.

[@fivechordmusic]

I love to see M Daniel Lanois let his child-like heart come out with the mic in hand. Keep on rockin' !

[@davidroyer5049]

Thank you. . . A friend of mine had a broken C 37a when I was in my twenties (back in the eighties) and I repaired it. The C 37a is a quirky microphone, but when it is the right microphone for the job, it is hard to beat.

[@GYMusic]

I love my matched pair of MA-300s. A MA-37 might have to be next. There's something special about tube mics.

[@Producelikeapro]

Great video! Daniel is a joy to talk to!!

[@siriusfun]

Now that's some high praise indeed! I love my MA300 and the 37's been on my short list for the past year.

[@mojaveaudio]

Love to hear that!!

[@VirtualTourPhotographer]

Perfection finds imperfection and makes it art

[@troygaspard6732]

When he is talking about going to Europe to record in a castle, that would have been for U2 on. The Unforgettable Fire.

[@RnRanimal]

now that's some high price indeed!

[@LunatechStudio]

Thanks for the great video with Daniel! I still use and enjoy a microphone David hand built for me. A large diaphragm tube mic using a military spec subminiature tube. He built the power supply into a military ammo box sprayed black, and the power supply and mic have silver printed stickers that simply say “Mojave Audio”. I’ve been a fan of his design work for a long time. Used to really enjoy talking to him at NAMM.

[@dusty_wakeman]

Send us a picture!

[@LunatechStudio]

Hey Dusty, absolutely I’ll send you some pictures!

[@w.a.o.a.w]

Read Dead Redemption II, so iconic. Tragic story of Fenton fighting off gunslingers not through violence, but books and bestowed his knowledge unto those who sought to harm him. Playing as Lancelot after Fenton dies reading his journal on a cliff facing the sunrise was such a beautiful moment. Still sad there was no Typing of the Undead DLC for the prequel though. “When the time comes, you better run to the library, and don’t look back” 😢

[@george-st-george]

Wonderful....inspiring....Thanks for this !!!!

[@gracedesignprofessionalaudio]

Bravo, Mojave!! Great vid / Great mic / with one of the Greats !!

[@rolandguerin1]

Thank you!!!

[@tortillaman2491]

Awesome microphones.

[@BlackGritsDoesIt]

This is one of the microphones I really want to get. But, I have to wait until the budget is right.

[@davidroyer5049]

You may want to check out the 201 fet. I had the C37a in mind when I designed it.

[@supermash1]

He's very articulate about making music and recordings.

[@mojaveaudio]

Yeup! Gotta love Daniel 😎

[@nuendo2496]

I had a c37 way back in 1982…..

[@TheFaustianMan]

Mojave are the only mics I use!

[@CircuitBendingFool]

Always enjoyable cat. Makes me want to buy one.

[@UlfTv]

Nice!! What music is playing in the background?

[@dusty_wakeman]

That's just Dan playing while we set up the video shoot.

[@UlfTv]

@@dusty_wakeman nice. Thanks

[@jackduxbury1632]

🐐

[@toneseeland]

Genius.

[@CashMattock]

My dad is from Hamilton! 🙌

[@droneswasabi]

Así quiero ser si llego a viejo!

[@mojaveaudio]

Yo tambien 😎

[@JohnGauge790]

Daniel is a genius but one of his secrets is those Radar converters.

[@royanderson3478]

Radar converter ? Can you elaborate on a bit. Daniel Lanois is self-taught since starting in recording business in his teenage years. He lived his life through his passion for music 🎶. Lucky man, indeed. Do know where his recording studio is in Toronto? I live in Riverdale, I thought it was in the vicinity. Thanks 😊

[@RebeccaTurner-ny1xx]

Mr Lanois seems to lack enough money to heat his studio, given his woolly hat and outside coat. Don't his valve devices provide heating as well?

[@daniel_dumile]

*Red Dead Redemption

[@MGrayl-ib5fo]

"Read" Dead Redemption???

[@OnlyElshafto]

So this is all about mic influencing..ffs

[@fishing4444able]

You really need to turn off that horrible piano music

[@tekis0]

No, just learn how to listen.

[@johnbuell8035]

No, turn it off

[@RebeccaTurner-ny1xx]

@@tekis0 Why does audio of a man speaking need to be made less intelligible with background music?

[@aperequest]

Are you kidding or no?

[@johnflavour]

Is this all you have to say? Jesus

[@kellykasparek8150]

Daniel Lanois is GOD !!!!

[@justme-kt7zt]

Well, no he isn't, but I think he produced some of His most interesting records

[@paultorbert6929]

One of the Prophets of Sound… he works for GOD….. 🙏😇🎛🎚🎤🎸🎹😺

[@RebeccaTurner-ny1xx]

Well, he worked with a guy who _thinks_ he's a deity...

[@justme-kt7zt]

(I hope no one takes my comment too seriously - I was trying to riff off an old joke: "Wait, is [person's name] God?" "No, but I think they went to college together")
