When these words come from the chief engineer at one of India's best recording studios - YashRaj Film (YRF) Studios - you need to take his advice seriously. Very seriously.
Shantanu Hudlikar shares his views on the current state of affairs in the music recording business and ways to improve the scenario. He's not against using VSTs or technology products. He is all for using them - but only in the right manner, and where required.

Shantanu sir, I have deep respect for your views. Your's work is very tough. God bless you.
thank you for liking this video. As for other videos, they are interesting in their own right too. we are covering credible people who remain unfortunately behind the scenes and may not be good orators. but their work speaks for them. thank you.
He is the kind of teacher we need in todays time. I am so pleased to come across this video, I am a fan.
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.
Recording well and giving more importance to recording more than mixing, is one advice I've heeded in my current short career, and it's helped a long way.
Great candid interview from a PRO : HE IS CORRECT : Audio Engineering is about capturing sounds in context to convey ideas & emotions that can excite & entertain us. There is way too much mediocrity in music production today....GIGO = garbage in garbage out...Please teach us better practices...Thank You & God bless you +
If you dont have standards then you will never make a name for yourself. This guy has very high standards, I'm sure he is great engineer. He is obviously just trying to bring it into perspective. 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.
I’m totally agree with him huge respect sir.🙏🏻
thanks. please spread the link to all musicians and engineers you know.
Thanks Shantanu sir for your kind guidance.
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.

Hey, do you do commissioned work?
Hello from the UK - it's not just India! 'Good enough' isn't good enough, you are so right.
I really appreciate Shantanu for what he is saying, I also argue alot so called Engineers here in Pakistan as its really disappointing that no one today gets hands on practices and learning accept homemade DAW studios with bunch of VSTs war and its over.
He is right that the recording is the most important part of the process.... You cannot make a bad recording sound good in the mix!!!! Great video
This man is spot on. Chaltha Hai attitude is all over. He is so correct.
Fantastic Interview. I agreed with every single statement.. and alot of what he said was a wake up call to me! 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.
I am So Glad , this would probably the only video i have liked on Sudeep Audio, So so glad someone somewhere in India actually going though the same dilemma of this Drowning Industry !! PLease PLEASE PPL LISTEN AND UNDERSTAND AND CHANGE !!
Wow ! With 54,283 likes and 668 likes, that too in a small world Recording engineering & Arts in India & Abroad is simply commendable. Your passion for the work you do, reflects in every word you said and even though i don't have what you have access to, i'll always aspire to be there.
Shantanu is definitely amongst the best sound engineers you will come across guys. Take his advice seriously, it will do you a world of good. Great work Sudeep Audio and thanks for bringing this series for budding sound engineers.
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.
He is a true artist 🎶🙌
Well Said sir.We Need Soul Holy Soul
Thank you, Thank you so very much for talking to great sound experts. I'm a recording artist and I love to record at home because I cannot afford analog equipment yet. I'm still learning and I hope to do better as quickly as possible. All of my knowledge comes from spending hours and hours on the internet reading about different aesthetics. Thanks a lot Shantanu for saying exactly what I felt like. It's a good relief to find that our recording industry is spearheaded by great minds :)
Fascinating and beautifully articulated. A great inspiration as I am currently designing a recording studio in London and wanted to get into the world and mind sets of recording studio engineers and artists. Thank you.
this dude is very smart & passionate about what he says & also this only comes from experience.. a true master..i fucking love this video.
So so true Shantanu what mentioned that you can't mix if nothing is recorded. There is a lot of badly "mixed" music out there with no feelings put into it. Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful as well as most valuable advice from Shantanu Hudlikar...
True passion and integrity! The world needs more of this! Great video, thank you for sharing this type of wisdom!
What a great passion you have Shantanu. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Great information sir ..you are the best teacher also
SUCH INCREDIBLE INSIGHTS!! LOVE THIS MASTERS INSIGHTS!!!
So true!!! Can't agree more
What a fantastic masterclass, sharing his knowledge quality of a great artist
This is right talk like "Chalta hai" in India... Thank U Sir ji to share your knowledge...
what an awesome looking studio, but without somebody who can master all the equipment, it all means nothing. Thanks Shantanu for such words of wisdom. Only people like you can save the music industry!
im listening LOUD and clear...
I completely agree with you and in future I want to learn about recording techniques. Thank you.
you absolutely nailed your point.. people expect all these people to be good orators.. but as you said their work speaks on their behalf.. absolutely brilliant people.. thanx sudeep audio for getting all these faces before the world who have been creating magic in the music industry with their sheer talent, hardwork & experience..
Interesting video. Definitely on point....Kudos... Philip NYC Area
what this man is saying, is the truth and nothing but the truth! Het Delivers everytime... again and again! listen to music hé has recorded/ mixed...
I love this guy! .... I couldn't agree more with him. Blessings!

Most welcome. Do watch the next two episodes with Shantanu released now.
Informative. Thank you for sharing.
He is just amazing the best part was *keep your ears near the instrument !! thank u Sudeep audio
You are right old school techniques follow basics achieve quality music. Great tutorial. Most of films lot of digital mixing you can't notice minor mistakes. No time for Film directors and music directors but engineer knows what to follow and you are the right one to teach. Your are a great teacher. Thanks
Really interesting to hear his experiences and views. Thank you for your sage advice, Shantanu. Would love to see more.
Mr. Hudlikar speaks nothing but the truth. Thanks for this knowledge.
Covers so much ground & truth in few words- inspirational. Support your local studios!
Finally man with wisdom, and the frustration to go along with it. Bollywood music sounds shitty and without soul. If only more men like Shantanu were around.
Thank you so much! A very honest , straightforward, outspoken, very informative!!!
I freaken love this guy!! He's saying exactly what I'm talking about!!!! Exactly what I'm trying to get across!
And recording really is an art. Technology are only extensions to your own limbs. Your senses should always be in control, not the other way round.
Thank you sir. Please give us more of similar stuff , Sudeep Audio.
He's so professional I can say by the way he give advises.
I just shared this video on a Facebook group of 200 home studio engineers I created,thank for the video very helpful! :)
Very very valuable information! I watched the entire video and see a number of points!!!!👏👏👏
Gr8 work by sudeepaudio - our country really in need of such inspirations !
Thanks sudeep audio for bringing the technical approach of "Mumbai" to my Computer screen !!
everything he says is absolutely true. we agree with him on everything! Much respect.
this was the first video which i saw without fast forwarding it ....
I am really thankful to see this video This video changed myself It will be my dream to meer this legend
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.

Viren Patel completely agree. he seems to contradict himself when he speaks of plugging into boxes ,etc and stereotyping all plugins whilst he himself is using all the expensive equipment to do his bidding as well... its almost as if he has a vendetta against evolving technologies and the new comers to can do what he is in nearly 1/25th the cost of making a studio. all people need after that is practice, because this is the only to progress in mixing... but yeah.

in a dying industry he needs to make money...i get what he is saying but also what he is saying is you need to come here and spend for quality. It is possible to make quality in your bedroom if you have time good ears good monitors research and learn the basics
Great video again. Looking forward to mixing techniques and especially vocal recording techniques since most people watching this have home studios and condenser mics
Absolutely fantastic video!Learned more from this than all "mixing" videos combined on you tube.(Dave Pensado e.t.c...). For me,the only other mixing engineer that I enjoyed this much is mighty All Schmitt.Thank you Mr.Shantanu Hudlikar .Becouse of people like you ther is still hope good music is going to comme around again on radio stations.
Words of wisdom. Great job @SudeepAudio.
Hi Mr.Santhanu it was nice to hear you speak about the indian music Industry and the culture in the recording world in India. Keep up your good work. I am happy for you. God Bless.
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..
great interview... nice tips and tricks and hoping to watch more from him....
love this guy he is so right
I like your style Shantanu. Well done.
