Mr. Clearmountain seems like the loveliest guy on the planet he is so wholesome and down to earth, he just loves music this was very enjoyable to watch

[@malcolmpollack5612]

Wow - I worked for what must have been thousands of hours on that very desk when it was in Power Station A. Nice to see it again! (And you too, Bob - hope you are well!)

[@tb-cg6vd]

Cool - I hope all the artists appreciated your efforts! However your piece on the political left & entropy was utter nonsense.

[@laketahoeG]

​@@tb-cg6vd Per your comment "Cool - I hope all the artists appreciated your efforts! However your piece on the political left & entropy was utter nonsense."... You say you 'hope' all the artists... blah, blah? You don't hope for anything he's done, for music created/enjoyed, or artists. You lie without a thought otherwise. Your opinion... regarding Malcom Pollack's piece on the political left and entropy? Besides being presented along side a lie, it's nonsense. In fact, your comment (possibly your entire existence, IDK) is nonsense - and likely a waste of resources. 'Cool' you say..? (before being a douche, of course) I'm afraid you wouldn't know 'cool' if it slapped your face, tb303. Cool doesn't go along with status quo. 🙄 James Dean was cool, for example. He was a rebel - not a leftist. He didn't go along with status quo - or political correctness. If alive today, he would have kicked leftist butt every time he encountered it. 🥋 (because it sucks, of course) Leftism is a parasitical, weak, fearful, panicked-state-of-mind collective.🐛 It is not cool at all. Neither are Leftists. In summary, today... Hitler, Stalin and Mao would probably be very proud of the Left. The 'Leftist' cats mentioned above would likely also be somewhat proud of you, too, tb303. Especially considering what you accomplished here on YT... with your 'socially responsible', uncool comment above. Whereas, James Dean..? For many, very cool reasons... he's laying in his grave right now - disgusted with you - and everything the Left stands, or better yet, 'sucks-off-of' others for.😎

[@apstech4618]

@@tb-cg6vd BS! Malcom nailed it. You lefties hate the truth. You live in the twilight zone.

Man, I love this guy... "These two are Neves. These others are knockoffs, but they're pretty much the same." "That's just a stud wall between the control room and the live room. Soundproofing is pretty much the worst thing you can do." He tells it like it is, from years of experience. A lot to learn here.

[@rafaelcarmany463]

@@morganbebell9003 Well, it really isn't that extensive - BUT What he DOES HAVE is Jaw dropping. Of course, for live he has a dozen 57s and 58s, Sennheisers, etc - but he meant "Extensive Studio Mic Collection." He mentioned Black Bird Studios in Nashville, which DOES have an extensive mic collection.

[@SheridanVoysey]

That was a fun watch!

[@jasabasenara8124]

What a lovely down to earth guy Bob is. Amazing studio. 🙏👍

[@MiddleMalcolm]

Bob's body of work speaks for itself, but his whole vibe is clearly why he's been such a huge success, over such a long period. I've seen lots of vids from his mix room, but this is the best look around the Apogee studio that I've seen yet. Time well spent! 👍

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

So when is he coming over to interview the owner of the old Philips studio. Wisseloord studios. The Netherlands ?

[@seabreeze2792]

Dude . Your wife is a keeper. The way you talk , you love her, Keep producing and listen that great wife of yours. Long live.

[@austinbridge]

Living legend. What an honor to meet him and have him tour this studio for you!

[@LS-ud7do]

I wonder if 2016 Andrew would have believed that 2022 Andrew was in Clearmountain's studio whilst pushing 100k subs on the channel. Inspiring stuff, well done.

[@AndrewMasters]

Yeah definitely not! haha Thanks!

[@AudioJanitor]

@@AndrewMasters You are doing the music world an incredible service. Thank you.

[@siriusfun]

Bob's pretty down to earth for a living legend! Nicely done, Andrew!

[@jeremythornton433]

Sylvia Massey has a similar idea in that she doesn't even really have a control room. She just has a big room with everything in it. This is a great video. Thanks for doing this one!

[@g_and_kikos_studio]

It's clear by the interviews you've been getting lately big time people really respect your work. I'm hoping to grow my channel in a similar way. Thanks for the inspiration Andrew

[@stavroshouiris]

making a 5.1 compressor i imagine is the same as making a stereo compressor. You simply sum up all the channels on a bus and use that as your key input on all 5 compressors. Although you can play around with this by sending or less of any of the channels to have a different response from the compressor

[@TheDoug2103]

i remember commenting on his website and when he responded i was like a little girl, this guy is a bigger deal that any one of the artists he has mixed.

[@PiddeBas]

Completely agree, he's a legend in my eyes

[@caleykelly]

What a chill and knowledgeable dude. Class act.

[@thejawshop-AdventureRecording]

No sound isolation, just treatment and that's Bob's starting point. Much like a ported speaker.

[@guitarplayer5932]

these guys are generous with their time, bob has done many interviews with other youtubers, awesome

[@dimitargadzhev3800]

Another great video, thank you very much that you meeting all of us with so nice and amazing positive people. Be blessed and keep going....!!!

[@ThorbjrnPrytz]

Ohh...! Having a location like that for taping/streaming live performances! Must also be fantastic for the musician with a small intimate club feel with a smaller audience. Brings back that MTV unplugged vibes...

[@hummarstraful]

Clearmountain was called the "the greatest mixer in the world" by the greatest mastering engineer in the world Bob Ludwig,

[@theway3058]

Owned two 8068 an I miss them every day. Deff going to get one more before I get to old. That console is so sic. Looks clean I’m sure it’s a MK2

[@AlbinoTigerBarb]

Glad to see they got the Sennheiser MK4 and MK8, I use them at my home too

[@sebastiancuthbertmusic]

It´s always so refreshing to listen to Bob! So down to earth!

[@drewnwiseman]

Andrew, when Bob pulled out the device upstairs and you said “is that a recorder?” That was an ADAT BRC remote controller. I had a 24 track ADAT setup in 2000, and was working for Pearl Drums (Nashville) at the time. They gave me one of these controllers as a 10 year anniversary present. Can’t believe it was that long ago! ADAT was the best option in that era between reel-to-reel and hard disc recording. Crazy but fun times. BTW - great video. Bob is such a legend! Check out Warren Heart’s Produce Like a Pro interview where they talk about Tears for Fears “Seeds of Love” album. Very cool!

[@morbidmanmusic]

Adatsmand BRC... i am reliving nightmares....

[@nickmandleberg]

@19:34 imagine you got invited to a little gig and as you walk in to the venue you notice Bob Clearmountain behind a little Soundcraft board mixing the sound 🤯🤯

This is the Best studio tour epic ( plesss we need Bob mixing studio) thanks

[@SuperdangerStudios]

hahaha dude his little aside on an over reliance on soundproofing was golden.

[@michaelclover9186]

I’ve followed Bob Clearmountain since my early days in the studio business. Smart guy and his mixes are outstanding. Thanks for the interview!! Lots of interesting info.

[@davidmaraisthecampfireguit2596]

Just listen to Tears for Fears' "Woman in Chains" from the late 80s. Make sure you are wearing good headphones, turn the volume up and listen to the multiple-dimensions of sound and the cascading "ear candy" that deeply impacts the emotional dynamics of the song. That is what a Clearmountain mix sounds like. Outstanding legend.. What a great interview and excursion - thank yoiu.

[@colbydrums924]

Im loving all the interviews that youre doing lately, Clearmountain is awesome and definitely was in the right place at the right time, thanks for doing these videos fella

[@southpau]

The man himself. Bob clearmountain! Great interview. These videos are part of my Monday morning breakfast now! Keep up the great work Andrew Masters! 👍🏿👍🏿

Great work Andrew...Bob is a stone cold legend.

[@dreammix9430]

That was absolutely fascinating! Thank you so much for that video! When I first saw that Nev I thought it was the one that I helped install it Sound City ages ago but it's obviously I different bored

Was that a Peavey Bandit in Bob's attic?! Finally, I can say I own some of the same gear the pros do. Great tour/interview as always, thanks Andrew!

[@UCS0608]

Yeah!! And I also own some Mackie SRM450's and when a helicopter flies over my studio I can also hear it..... It was never a big deal for me, but it's good to know I'm in good company! :)

Your channel is dope. I dig the concept of running around checking out studio gear and hearing the history behind them. It’s like VHS behind the music!!

[@eddysel10]

Amazing studio tour. You do an excellent job and probably, one of the best regarding this topic. It would be great if you can produce more educational video's in your own studio, video's about the history about certain instrument / equipment etc (like some of the priceless stuff in this and some of your other video's), story about artists who produced music in some of the studios you toured, song produced, the setup, etc. The fact that you have have access to these amazing studio's, will provide you with this unique opportunity. And it will definitely grow your youtube channel. Btw, I was waiting to see how Bob connects all those speakers to his dolby setup. Once again, thank you very much.

[@Rick-O-Shay60]

My knowledge of mixing, and recording studios goes about as far as "they got mics their right" Although I truly enjoyed this presentation of Mr. Clearmountain's "Garage Studio Setup" Even as someone as myself, not very knowledgeable in this field, I could really get into all the cool tech behind the scenes evolved that basically where it all starts to record and produce great music. What a cool guy Bob is too! Thanks for sharing your awesome studio with us.

Regarding the comment in the video about the name of the company manufacturing Pultecs, the original company was Pulse Techniques, Inc and the current company is Pulse Techniques, LLC. There was never a Pulse Technologies. The units at East West were early Pulse Techniques, LLC units and we had not yet changed the front panel name from Pulse Techniques to PULTEC. Regards, Steve J.

[@ChrisJohnsonproducer]

It’s amazing that this video starts with a pounding beautiful track, the whole channel is about music, music production, yet there isn’t a single credit given to the composer, the producer, or the company that provide the music for this video. There is every single detail about every piece of gear that’s probably for sale somewhere though. Andrew Masters videos are incredible!! ❤❤❤

[@AndrewMasters]

All of the music is licensed by Musicbed. They’re linked in the description of all the videos. Generally there are between 6-12 or more songs per video. Always different artists and songs. The amount of work and time that goes into every detail of each video is insane. Building a playlist of every song in the background and crediting them is just simply too much additional time per video. It’s very expensive and taxing already, and nearly no one asks. Over 13,000,000 views and you’re maybe the second person to even mention it. Each artist is paid by every view on the video and paid by me every month - so that counts for something.

[@ChrisJohnsonproducer]
