It all started with a Fostex X-18 4 track cassette recorder I bought back in 1992 to record my ideas. I did an upgrade to a Roland VS1680 digital recorder in 1998 and moved to my first PC based DAW (Magix Samplitude V7) in 2004. That was the point when I began doing demo recordings for my own band, but also doing projects with other musicians and offering mobile recording services.

@producelikeapro Hi Warren, I'm not sure who to contact so maybe you can help. I purchased Sara's Mixing Essentials course and in the eq section there are 4 videos missing in the last module. There should be Additive Eq, Subtractive Eq, Clean Up Muddiness, and Taming Harshness. They're not there at all. Hopefully they'll be uploaded at a later time. But it definitely sucks because I was looking forward to those and Sara is such a great teacher. In the meantime I will move on to compression!

I started with a friend's Tascam Portasound 4-track casette recorder to record demos. Recorded the music solely in an Ensoniq sequencer. Didn't have monitor speakers, used hifi speakers and headphones instead. From there, I moved to a DAW and recorded pre-productions in my bedroom. Good ol' early 2000s. :)

I'm SO pleased Sara Carter is getting the kudos she deserves. Her tutorials are just fantastic. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone else on KZread explaining their subject in such a meticulous yet engaging way. Great interview Warren and Sara 👏🏼

Thanks ever so much Johnny!

Oh this was a great interview, Warren! In fact I just came here because I recently checked out Sara and her KZread videos about mixing. I was curious to get to know more about her. That she is a really nice and humble person I allready noticed (maybe that's why I choose her channel and not other mixing "teachers" channels). Mindblowing was to me, that it seems to be an widely spread "illnes" among us in music creating business to feel bad about it and having to strenghten selfconsiousness.... in fact I am one of "you" , too. I was working for a company most of my time producing ads for radio/air, and mixing/mastering artists that were under our contract. Of course some live events to promote these artists on weekends. It took me JUST 3 years to get burned out, I was absolutely exhausted and couldn't go on anymore. I decided to leave this "ugly" music business behind and do something else....I'm a carpenter right now. I do this since 8 years and I'm happy so far....but like Sara there is something in my mind/body that wants me to go back to music again. I am into mixing and recording since about 2020. In my privat rooms, but maybe one day I make it into a business again. Ah and like Sara I have an SAE audio engineering diploma (graduated 2003). Sorry, long story ;-) THX very much to share your story, Sara! THX Warren for this really interesting and intimate interview!

What a right down to earth person Sara is. Will be looking forward to more videos from Sara. Many thaks Warren, you always get the most down to earth folks

Sara is such an incredible Engineer and Educator and the way she explains how Audio works is truly amazing and helpful! I'm excited about this course! ✌

It's very interisting to know how other people started doing this job and, in the this specific situation, how Sara passed from BBC to in the box mixing. Sara Is doing a very good job sharing her skills for beginners but in a very in depth way that even a more skilled person can always learn something. And, as usual, great channel, Warren!

I am a great fan of Warren's video's & Sara's tutorials. Both amazing and inspiring engineers. Sara has the ability to take time and go in depth on a topic and I apply her shared knowledge to my recordings. Warren was my go to KZread channel for so long! Now I really enjoy and learn so much from both of you - forever grateful for you sharing your video's with us! 👍🙂👍🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶

Found Sara’s channel via PLAP. Immediately subscribed. I’d not heard if Impostor Syndrome before, but immediately recognised I’d been through it. Sara’s videos are very accessible and - as always - there’s something new to learn. Another educative and inspiring channel is Kush Audio with Gregory Scott. For instance, check out his video on using 4 separate aux channel compressors for his drum mix.

Excellent interview. Real, honest and humble. Thank you both for all that you do. Very refreshing and I’m learning a lot!

Sara is one of youtubes greatest teachers and I hope everyone who is willing to learn just start watching her channel, I like humbe and kind, knowledgeable people (and yes sometimes late at night I fall asleep while watching so win win). Didn't know anything about her or her background before now, interesting to see you 2 together. I've got SO much to learn so keep going.

A couple of world records too ! Please investigate them Warren,Check sound on sound magazine history,they have there place,especially as their influences were a mix of Queen,Deep Purple,The Doors ,The Beatles an of course Hendrix,they never kept the sound per album!! Some little gems in there some people have no idea about! Check out No 9 Dream. Keep on going Warren ,absolutely love it,so inspirational!!

Those Maida Vale studios she’s talking about are literally on the other side of the road to me, staring out the front window at them now just a few meters away. Very bizarre how our street (Delaware Road, Maida Vale, W9) is residential mansions on one side and the BBC Maida Vale studios on the other. We’re also just a 15 minute walk up the road from Abbey Road as well. Tourists must get so confused passing by these two things as Maida Vale and St.John’s Wood (where Abbey Road is) are super residential areas.
