    Shantanu, I had to quit this line and join a full time job because music directors wanted DAW operators and EDM programmers. I can fully understand what you say. the kids of today have never heard or felt the air moving out of a kick drum or a dhol to be able to mix it.

I want to record punk music and I still take way he says to heart, cause good sound is still important. I appreciate this guys output, he just wants to make sure music turns out well.

    One more thing, I believe what he is saying applies too so many thinga nowadays.. Movies, music, and everything in between is just mediocre crap! There is no passion. Just in abd out, quick dollar here, quick dollar there. The real artist get blanketed by all this "crap" and get by with penny's too their name. And then they just give up because true art form has taken a back seat, for now! It will return! Everything changes and I hope to see the day when we put TRUE artist back in the spotlight, wherw they belong.

In the entire recording process, it is the musician who is the most important..and it is always the musicians responsibility to ensure his/her instrument sounds the way it is supposed to. Hats off to Shantanu for taking the time out and doing this. This video is a must watch for every single person in the music/audio industry.

    I have great respect for big studios and experienced sound engineers who have made their mark. It is definitely an art which is very difficult to master. However, this interview seems to be an expression of frustration where a recording can be created at a fraction of the cost and knowhow with today's technology. As long as something sounds good and artistic, no one cares whether is was created using real drums or vstis. The whole world has moved on and so should us. Purely my humble opinion.

  • @chnacr2

    Lol. So many people getting offended by this. He makes his point clear at 5:38 - It's absolutely impossible for a mix engineer to make a badly recorded track sound great. His problem is with inexperienced producers sending him tracks that are not good enough to be mixed properly. And at his level, it's a complete waste of his time to fix amateur mistakes in every single track. And if someone can afford to hire Shantanu, then they should send him well performed and recorded tracks in the first place. It's about understanding the fundamentals of recording first, otherwise, even good equipment can sound bad. But not all of us need to have recordings at that level of quality. Trust me, guys. I do home recordings out of necessity. But I know it's impossible to get the absolute best ear training for sound engineering in your bedroom.

    I agree with what Shantanu is saying in this interview - however I have to grossly disagree with the one point where he states that "going into a good studio, with good mics and a decent console - forget preamps, doesn't cost anything." MMMM I live in North America and have gone into studios that cost any where between $100-300 per hour. That my friend is fairly expensive. At that point, because learning in a professional studio isn't possible, we (the general public) have to resort to the 2nd best, which is samples. Unfortunetly this is the pattern of the entire 28 minute video. So now at 16 minutes, I've got to stop listening. Because I have a passion but not the wallet to support the passion.

    I've loved muskc my entire life, and know and respect a good recording. I've always been interested in recording music ever since I was a child.. I've just recently gotten my own place and want to start recording my own music again. I did record breifly, but it wasn't anything serious. Now that I have "some" money and time, I can really dedicate my time amd efforts into learning how to record somewhat properly. I know I'll never be as good as this guy, or most. But The passion is there! And beaing able to create music by myself, and then record it, is awesome. Sorry for rambling on. I respect what this guy is saying, and I will try that mic technique! One more thing, most of us that do have a passion for recording and mixing, don't have the money. So we do what we can, and I honestly believe, that's ALL that matters in the end. Ok sorry guys /rant..
