It's another tool, an amazing one that allows people to create a different guitar sound

These two guys are so inspiring. I'm not changing any studio habits, but I'm definitely growing some sideburns! 🙃 Thanks for letting us eavesdropping. It was a brilliant conversation!!!

I’ve learned tons from Warren, have watched him for years! great interview!

[@StellarWorks2023]

Really great interview, loads of nuggets. Top stuff. I'm an ITB guy, working mostly with Nembrini products plus a few from ML Sound Labs.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks Stellar! I appreciate it

[@Gearhart_Music]

The Tone Master amps are phenomenal. I did a gig last year that had them as backline, and paired with my drive pedals of choice, it sounded fantastic!

[@Producelikeapro]

I agree! Love my ToneMaster!

[@jonbirmingham6005]

Great interview! Thanks!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much!

[@alekp6822]

Mitch and Warren =Nicest people

[@Producelikeapro]

You're very kind! Mitch Rules!

[@Spider._.dust_music]

Great interview🤘 I use my tube amps when recording and I have just switched to HX Stomp & 2-2x12 cabs for my live rig.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much for sharing!

[@metalman3227]

Superb interview! Mitch you get the best out of everyone

[@Producelikeapro]

Mitch Rules!

[@johncox2552]

I absolutely love amp sims and modelers. I have zero desire to perform live and am happiest in my home studio. Neural DSP, and Logic’s Amp Designer are a gift from heaven as far as I am concerned.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much for sharing!

[@thedaveut]

Great interview you guys! Great articulation on the subject Warren!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it

[@michaelmele4888]

I thought of Brian May and his use of the Deaky and Pignose.

[@Producelikeapro]

Yes, amazing guitar sounds!

[@rickdeaguiar-musicreflecti7692]

[@brianhintze6440]

Very cool interview...something a bit different. Sweetwater are good people.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks Brian! Yes, they are

[@andrewsun4385]

Awesome!!!❤❤💯💯

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much!

[@jan_07]

Mikko 2 from ML soundlabs seem to have a solution to the monotony introduced by set and forget IRs. You can literally tweak it like you’re almost micing a cab from scratch.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much for sharing!

[@jesusislukeskywalker4294]

🤓 cool conversation

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much

[@PitchforkIncorporated]

I feel like the question becomes were the O.G. guys committing because they had to or because that’s the better way to go? I think if they had options they would have taken advantage of it.

[@Producelikeapro]

Agreed! Jack Douglas would have used the best equipment available!

[@thaexception3406]

Nice

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much!

[@Producelikeapro]

Mitch Rocks!

[@kotla671]

I think okay for producing recorded music but prefer regular tube amps for live music. Things have changed.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks for sharing! I love Tube/Valve Amps!

[@bigkickleo]

Definitely a player's prerogative - but there are MANY touring guitarists that have switched over SIMPLY because on a large scale tour you often have to contend with: Fly Dates, Backline struggles, maintenance issues, irregular power, and even the move to lower and lower stage volume (amps either baffled or moved COMPLETELY off stage) - so they make a lot of sense for SOME situations. But still can't beat standing in front of a tube rig 👍🏻

[@Producelikeapro]

Agreed@@bigkickleo I saw Johnny Marr was using a floor unit I believe through a Kemper or something similar! If Johnny can do it then anyone can!

[@KasperViggoJensen]

I find the opposite to be true.

[@Producelikeapro]

Whatever works for you!@@KasperViggoJensen

[@DaniArrow]

It's a great interview but Warren's hair is really distracting. 😅

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha sorry! Always had crazy hair, pink, blonde, mohawk, you name it! Luckily I work in the music industry and I'm not a chartered accountant!

[@DaniArrow]

kein Problem, sieht cool aus haha (Y) @@Producelikeapro

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha, gut zu hören!@@DaniArrow

[@superblondeDotOrg]

Since there is no profit to be made from publishing music anymore, there is no investment to be made towards recording in a production studio. Therefore most of what he talks about is irrelevant. Probably that is why 99% of the conversation is focused on historical anecdotes or working with the millionaire musicians of yesteryear who have money to burn.

[@timbrown7652]

There are so many ways to make money in music and many successful people doing it! You may personally not be successful, however there are many, many people who are.

[@superblondeDotOrg]

@@timbrown7652 What are you selling.

[@metalman3227]

agreed@@timbrown7652 when you aren't successful yourself you look around and just see the worst in things. I know so many successful music people, from Producers to engineers, to mixers, to mastering engineers, to TV and Film composers to everything in between, not to mention all of 1,000s of jobs in the music business at labels, publishers, agents, radio stations etc etc

[@Mikepo587]

Do it for fun I just wish there beside the computer there are more multitrack standalone recorders but with the advent of the laptop and everything cheap I just don’t like it that way I don’t mind it but I believe it’s this guy who said if you’re not a producer don’t fall trip to it meaning to many changes that you might not have made ..attempted to do things you wouldn’t do if you could play and sing how you clean up the DAw you might sound like Céline Dion and you shouldn’t do that if you believe your good enough , a The whole thing is that you practice practice to be Good that’s the point is all! DAW is a great but yeah it was this gentleman who said the opinions are overwhelming for young musician you make manipulate things and ends up not even being your own anymore I was lucky editing and I have muscle memory at 46 and play the piano and I did it the hard way which now I would love to learn how to use daw but it’s to much Without somebody helping me believe it or not in the stand-alones are good they just don’t make them good enough to last because there’s other things that are cheaper but they sound good enough for a piano player who sings wish L-12 zoom was something that lasts but they don’t I simply play my parts break it up like I did in the olden days and sometimes I’ll take songs that already put together and just play my part and sing Not for money for fun but yeah DJWS I would know what to do with all those options

[@aarons6617]

The last thing Warren literally said was, "it wasn't expensive gear; it was the creativity." Seems as if you've missed the point...
