Nick Launay on Joe Chiccarelli's "How'd You Get That Sound?" - Official Podcast Episode 2

[@PrantoKoX]

These are THE conversations, THE talks, THE way. 👍👍👍 For instance, not only both Joe and Nick very naturally and effortlessly show WHY they are true record producers, and are repeatedly at the top of thier game at it, they also show such genuine enthusiasm, curiosity and respect for eachother's work, and for music in general - again, the traits of a true music producer, a person who gets, captures, immortalizes and aptly beautifies the best out of people, situations, moments and talents. This is the kind of info on recording & producing music on YT that is pure treasure of our time, not all the "Thank you Sweetwater" gear pushers, not all the "Here's a mix hack" clickbaiters, not all the plugin dissecters and certainly not all the "Join my academy/Download my cheat sheet" Promote Like A Pros of the world. So, thanks for this. 🙏👍👍👍

Thank you, Joe. Don’t you wish we had access to something like this 40 (?!) years ago?

[@BlackwoodPro33]

So great to hear Nick share his experience with the OIls, (that's how I want my records to sound) "Red Sails" is also a favorite. Best of Both Worlds is absolutely fierce! Thanks Joe for having Nick on!!

[@peterireland4344]

Worth pointing out that Place Without a Postcard (the album before 10 to 1) isn't conservative musically or expressively - but as Nick points out, in terms of recorded sound and production, it's very dull indeed. I still enjoy listening to it, and it's one of my favourites, but live versions of the same songs are an absolute revelation.

Love Nick’s work with Midnight Oil and INXS - great interview!

[@GustavoJacob]

Love that they talk about Midnight Oil, the best of their era.

[@audiobasement-studio]

Thank you Joe & Nick, could listen for hours and hours

[@michaelgormleymusic]

Two of my favorite producers. Both seem like absolute gents!

[@darkogav]

Great interview. Good stuff Joe!! It was so cool hearing Nick's story of working on mixing Arcade Fire's Neon Bible and how they got the large sound for Intervention. And I really loved the stories of working with Zappa. That was amazing to hear.

[@fivebyfivesound]

Inspiring and insightful conversation. Thank you so much. What I see is not just a trend. The sonic profiles of hip-hop and various dance-oriented popular musics (e.g. Afrobeats) defines present-day mainstream music and therefore people’s sense of what music production should sound like. Rock is no longer at the center defining mainstream sound, so now the sound of rock production must adapt or become antiquated in the ears of most listeners.

[@danepaulstewart8464]

I could listen to Nick talk about making records for ten hours. 😎✌️

[@ionnera6235]

One of the best.

Heroes x (also, NL's NC impressions are spot on. Hand gestures and all.)

[@m00ndawg]

The best Public Image Ltd album was Album (1986) produced by Bill Laswell. It featured Steve Vai, Ginger Baker and a couple other sesh musicians and had Pil's highest-charting song Rise. Vai's guitar solo at the end of Ease, an incredibly long 8:09, was out of this world.

[@surchevvie]

these conversations are incredible, and the fact that it's recorded + mixed like absolute shit makes it EVEN more lovable, because the opposite would be expected. kudos.

[@docklandsspeedshop4785]

Hahahah. Came on here to comment on the sound quality! Love the interviews though

That Neve console came from Barclay Studio (Eddie Barclay) in France.

[@danepaulstewart8464]

Nick has a far out voice, it sounds like one of us put a bunch of clever studio magic on it. 😎👍

[@fdschuler7863]

Funny Joe quotes Let Love In. That was produced by Tony Cohen, the Bad Seeds best years.

[@tootory9506]

If you could be a little more specific with text on screen, when you're talking about certain sounds on songs/ /albums/ so we can go search that and listen to it. Like that focus kick drum sound you're talking about or the drum sound in the stone cave

[@edjefferson9175]

Is that a Behringer Ultracurve top left rack?

Fuck the Politicks 🧀 hahhaa That midnight oil record is almost 40 years old and what did it change? The music in the tones were great.

[@dannyho6786]

These Mofo's are SERIOUSLY geek-up !!!! Ha ha, in a GOOD way !! Thanx !

[@MartinMartin-yi9to]

Yeah compared to US food France's food is amazing. Compare to the rest of the world France's food often comes last. Don't go to Portugal you might come back 20 pounds heavier A-Ha!.

[@yoyolebatteur]

Always funny when audio professionals mess up the sound of a video ;)

[@sdanis]

Shame for the bad sound... you'd think being in a studio they would figure it out. ;)

[@MartinMartin-yi9to]

Arcade Fire : the agony of making records. I had to skip this part as even the story is way too long.

[@shayeasy]

Arcade Fire is such a dreadfully boring band. So much overproduction, orchestration, vocal doubling and “triumphant” shouting to obscure the fact that the singer is not even slightly compelling and they can’t write a real, memorable song. Big fan of Nick’s but didn’t know he worked with them and just had to get that off my chest.

[@MichaelDouglasSkewes]

midnight oil sucks! period!
