great video. lots of fantastic information. thanks for doing these videos.

[@PuremixAudioTutorials]

your welcome. thanks for the kind words.

[@imslicc]

perfectionists make perfect albums. that's it.

[@ethanghoura5551]

Thank you for this! Random Access Memories is arguably the greatest engineered record in history

[@heyitsCedrick]

agreed.

[@ernestbuckley8671]

Its very good but listen to some Steely Dan.

[@Skrenja]

My pick for best engineered song is the 2013 remaster of Hotel California.

[@GodEmperor_]

To me Discovery is the greatest dance album of all time but Random Access Memories is the most important dance record of our generation because it came during a time where EDM was booming by young laptop producers. This album was a reflection and homage to where dance records all started and they knocked it out of the park I felt like I time travelled to a time where my parents just met each other.

[@cd2867]

The kick in "Contact" is one the best sounding kicks I've heard.

[@mtrps_]

one of the greatest ears in the industry thanks to his natural high pass filters

[@VLKV_loves_you]

just awesome! "how long, all summer"... no one ever said hurry up... most meticulous... lots of editing, feeding files back and forth... frequency analysis between reel changes w/ techs... playback vocals in a chamber... no recalls... have fun, experiment & make magic.

[@PuremixAudioTutorials]

The mind-blowing part is the number of reel to reel tape used during those sessions!! probably a world record!!

[@KevinSimpson031]

@@PuremixAudioTutorials do you have an approximate?

[@PuremixAudioTutorials]

@@KevinSimpson031 around 11 mins till the end

[@PaperClipFlip]

Awesome video, so insightful! On here after reading the news about Daft Punk breaking up. These legends will be greatly missed.

[@PuremixAudioTutorials]

Thank you for the kind words! it's a pretty rare insights on the robots indeed ! glad you enjoy this one

[@enlightenedsoul8897]

RAM, is one of the best mixed albums of the decade

[@intheblink]

Really cool to hear Mick digging into this one. Love the sound of that record and he always does great work.

[@stayready4fun]

When the engineer looks like an engineer. Perf.

[@TheStudeo74]

The importance of quality tracking... less EQ from the beginning to the end...

[@PuremixAudioTutorials]

exactly

[@JNo-sk5mz]

Some of his mixes that don't get mentioned much, are the mixes he did on the first Jodeci album. I love the way he used reverb all over the ballads, Stay, Come and Talk to Me, Forever My Lady etc. Timeless records. Great video and thanks for your efforts

[@PuremixAudioTutorials]

Thank you for the kind words ! We love Mick he's such a legend

[@outrageousproducing-mixlik6050]

My favorite mix that Mick Guzauski worked on was Eric Clapton's "Change the World". I love that mix.

[@jameswright8948]

Mick was in my father-in-law's graduating class of 1969 at Irondequoit High School in Rochester, NY (I graduated from there in 2003). What a gem. Irondequoit Indians for Life!

[@rohanpp786]

Thank you so much for sharing his experience working on one of the best albums ever! Could you suggest recommend some of Mick's works?

[@jorgdstr]

Lose Yourself to Dance” what a piece of work!! thank u Sr.

[@SteveStockmalMusic]

Great tips, great tech info, great history !!!

[@PuremixAudioTutorials]

Mick Guzauski is the man!!!

[@TheStudeo74]

“They didn’t want to use any plugins...”

[@justinb9387]

enjoyed this - I wonder if Mick uses the acustica stuff ? I spent a load on that - went crazy thinking i had hit a magic bullet but now im not so sure- really liked this interview - he seems like a nice man

[@PuremixAudioTutorials]

Mick is a legend!! we have a few tutorials with him you can watch the trailers and check the list of plugins he's using

[@justinb9387]

@@PuremixAudioTutorials thanks , i will def watch them - hes obv very good at mixing , lots to learn or at least try too. thanks !

[@hakankursunmusic]

thank you

[@seagers_studio]

"That's awesome"

[@Matronix94]

14:51 what does he mean by 'printing to half inch'

[@regortex3364]

“Printing” = recording, to a 1/2 inch reel to reel tape machine, usually to add compression and “warmth”

[@성원-h1h]

Did anybody catch the artists and/or tracks metioned around 3:10? I caught Giorgio but I can't figure the rest out.

[@amitxi-y5q]

The fist one is Rumors, the album from Fleetwood Mac.

[@LilKevo303]

wicked video

[@lilmarktube4773]

How much influence does Daniel Vangarde have on their sound and their success

[@TheStudeo74]

No more “social interaction”

[@Bonn1770]

Ironically the sound engineering on this interview is terrible.

[@bentheintern]

Bruce Vilanch?

[@TheStudeo74]

“No recall”

[@rickysantana2136]

😳

[@4stringbloodyfingers]

"ahm" "and ahmm" "aaahhh" "but.... ahhhh" ahmmm fuck me! torture

[@bepisdestroyer7435]

The amount of times this man said um gave me an aneurysm

[@Fishoilification]

mick is amazing but the album is the worst of the bunch. So unoriginal and nostalgic!

[@RodneyAllanPoe]

Yes, most songs are very generic and mainstream. No wonder they won those Grammys.

[@emersonhibbs2680]

You are cringe

[@mikeshinwa3398]

@@RodneyAllanPoe Weh weh cry me a river. There's people out there who can admire the album for what it is, and then there's people like you who have been hating on this album since 2013. Name a single song on RAM that was "mainstream" for the time except for the obvious lead singles. Even Get Lucky is a timeless bop; the guitar riffs, Pharrel's vocals, the beat change and vocoders around the 3 minute mark; it's a great song albeit overplayed. Werner's comment reeks of elitism.

[@RodneyAllanPoe]

@@mikeshinwa3398 That was a shitty comment I made! Not sure when I wrote it, but I now own RAM on CD and it's a damn good album.

[@TheStudeo74]

Thank you
