Thanks for taking time out to do these vids. So enjoyable to watch. Being 60, I grew up listening to all the great music of our time and hearing the stories behind them is so fascinating .

If all you had were just the sticks from Stewart Copeland and Charlie Watts, it would be enough to die a very happy camper. All of the other sticks are very sweet icing on the cake. This was one of my favorite interviews and studio tours yet. Completely awesome!

Another great interview Warren. Although the tips and reviews are awesome, I personally enjoy these videos, and have found some brilliant gear after seeing them In studio tours. I’m a old school dinosaur and 1,000 percent with Ryan: “I like things going through electronics.” It’s true that software “emulates” a signal passing through wire, transistors, valves and transformers, but as good as plugins are these days, they are still just emulations. Anyway, thanks for sharing and keep up the stellar productions.

Great interview. When you're locked in a studio 10 hours a day working these are the type of dudes you want to be working with. That concentration of studios in Nashville sounds like gear geek heaven. Very cool.

Ryan's attention to detail is insane, I love the OCD. Keep the videos coming Warren!

This was the BEST Interview!!!! I loved your interactions and flow. BRAVO, From now on I'm going to refer to Ryan Hewitt as Ryan Reynolds, he is just so funny and personable, Fantastic!!!! His nightmare mixing story is legend, I rewatched it 3 times and am going to show it to my clients this weekend, Kudos to you and Ryan. If I weren't an engineer I would send my stuff to Ryan, and in fact if someone wants a better mix that I can't give, I'm gonna suggest Ryan. Crazy good!!!!

Wonderful interview Warren! Again so much information and geartalk :) I love ur interviews and studio tours. Have a marvelous time doing these!

Re the English Neve's - Studio 1 at Air Studios. It was custom built for Air (different frequencies on the EQ amongst other things & remote mic amps located in the live room) and then later had the Focusrite ISA110 modules added to make it a 72 channel console. A beautiful desk in a great room which I had the privilege of helping install in 1994.

I have a pair of the Bell & Howell projector speaker extension cabs. They have old 32 Ohm 12" Jensens in them. Killer sounding. I them got for $10 each in an auction. Nobody, but me, knew they had early 60's Jensens so they didn't bid on them. They sound like late 50's early 60's Fender amps. Nice breakup without being too toppy. Keep an eye out, they are a great way to pick up excellent vintage speakers on the cheap. You can find them in resale shops sometimes.

Go Warren and team, Thanks for another great video. I love hear chats and studio tours. On a slightly unrelated note I have a (FAQ) question that it would be good if you could cover one day. When recording I tend to use 24 bit for quality reasons. However when bouncing a final master I always dither to 16 bit 44.1. Is this still for the best now CD's are slowly losing popularity and online content is on the rise? Basically what bit and sample rate is best for your final product and why?

Hey Warren what is the difference in quality of recording at 24bit 44.1Khz vs 24 bit 48Khz? I can't hear it. Ryan is cool. I met him at WLA Music a few years ago and learned from his talk there.

@NativeDSP

5 жыл бұрын

Without any further processing, it's mostly impossible to hear a difference. As soon as you start processing, especially distortion/saturation, you will hear the plugins react very differently from 2k up. The signal gets some aliasing when pushed, this is why some plugins offer oversampling to reduce these artifacts. However, aliasing is not always a bad thing... Many hip-hop producers are using heavy aliasing effect to color their sounds. Many plugins react differently at different samplerate. For me, with what I'm using and many many analysis, I prefer 48k and some oversampling here and there. JJP prefer 44.1k over 48k... I honestly think that you need to test for yourself, with your rig, prefered plugins, etc... Otherwise, it falls into a debate that never ends.

wow, doesn't get much nerdier than this one (I love it!). And who just spent 30 minutes on Allmusic trying to figure out who the infamous producer in this story is? This guy. and the secret is safe......but damn, I hate it when that kinds thing happens. Have never gotten anything quote as negligent as that, but yup, kinda been there too

Hmm, I think I've found the hidden lesson here at around 57:00. The lesson, if you have some great gear, and want to keep it, don't owe money to other engineers/producers.
