Show Us Your Junk! Ep. 9 - Mario Caldato (Beastie Boys, Jack Johnson) | EarthQuaker Devices
Музыка
Mario C likes to keep it clean!
It’s not every day that we get invited to kick it with producers immortalized in Beastie Boys lyrics. We met up with Paul’s Boutique, Check Your Head, Ill Communication, and Hello Nasty engineer / producer Mario Caldato at his Hollywood home studio to dig through his endless collection of gear, in search of the perfect party rockin’ piece. And we found something. Mario C is the lucky owner of the original Check Your Head collage.
We spent hours looking through bin after bin of amazing gear: vintage Mu-Trons, MPCs, a Roland TR-303, you name it. But we couldn’t leave without a little Transmisser jam time. Aided by bassist and pedalhead Juan Alderete, we hooked up our resonant reverberator to record some ambient bass. “You get your sound and you kick in, like ‘Boom!’ I’m there.”

too short! wanna see more of his process and history!
I interned at Grand Royal Records in Atwater Village during the late 90's. That photo collage was still hanging in the studio during that time. I have always wondered what happened to it! Glad I stumbled upon this video for multiple reasons.

I brought Mario back to that studio. My pal Ryan is in that space now. It's still a studio!! The back room is a speak easy and they have art events. They ripped some sheetrock off of some walls and all of the original graffiti is still there and perfectly preserved! It's so wild. kzread.info_FvqA2HLLtQ

I’m so bummed that Mario didn’t have any involvement in the Beasties book. He was such a vital ingredient in their survival.
We went to so many amazing studios during this epic outing, however Mario and his place was absolutely my personal favorite. Perfect vibe. Perfect gear. Mario is just a beautiful cat...

Lisa Bella Donna time to do his new studio! I love this, So sick!
man i love this one. he seems like such a sweet guy, very down to earth and amazing.
Was lucky to work with Mario C., in Portugal, in 98, for a compilation of Portuguese bands(Tejo Beat). He was a sweet and calm person, and could speak a few Portuguese words too,I think he was maried to a Brazilian lady, by that time....Humble and very 'approchable' It was short, but nice!
Grande Mario.... brasileiro de orgulho

it's like a rare violin they will never truly make again. That's why it has risen in price. And btw, it's been almost 40 years since they came out... and most of them I see are still working very well. Lets check in on an MPC Live in 40 years and see how its doing (or not doing for that matter).

that first album he put on is an incredible 2 album set - USA reissue of "inactin "and "Parathaphus B" by Michal Urbaniak - A polish fusion musician... most of the Tribe Called Quest's 3rd album was samples from it.

Always wondered about this stuff. I remember this guy climbing a light pole in Pontiac Michigan. It was insane.
The TB-303 is lying around somewhere in a box. :D Supercool dude!
WOW!!!!
Very humble dude. Great vintage gear. Some will never know the history of some things that were built and probably never even care to know. (sigh) To them I say,...show a little respect please. I still remember rolling with a house DJ once, who played CDs at his parties (with a compact device that had 2 trays in it). He proudly said to me, "Man I'm glad I didn't have to go thru the era of toting all those records around to play". I proudly told him, "Dude too bad, you have missed out some good times". 😉

I'm assuming that it made u chose the records that truly mattered cause u only have so much room to haul them around .
Make one with dust brothers!
When a company allows studios to show ALL the equipment , that tells me a lot . I'm going to look into buying something from EarthQuaker now . I look at audio the same as I look at auto . A lot of different parts/tools go into making a badass muscle car . Great video series !!!

I'm in Vancouver and, as you likely know, we've got some exceptionally well respected engineers/studio operators here - large scale mega-producers, long-term, internationally lauded and/or newer mavericks operating in converted garages or, basements or, over a men's bathouse...etc...

I think hes keeping secrets. I've read interviews were one of the beastie boys said they used multiple samplers, sp1200 of course, and emu emax, as well as others. But what I've always wanted to know is how they recorded their vocals. It almost sounds like a memory man ran thru some crazy hp filters and one of those weird 1950s radio mics .. if anyone knows, reply I'm actually producing and engineering an old school style rap record and am still playing with rigs to record vocals. And I kind of have an idea of how I want it to sound but still not quite sure
What is/are those synths, centre screen - stacked one atop the other (I think) ... ?? Anyone know? Thanks! :)

What's the difference between the Transmisser, and the Afterneath?
