The Complete History of Legendary Sunset Sound Recorders in Hollywood, CA

Музыка

After 62 years as the most iconic independent recording studio, owner Paul Camarata sits down with Drew Dempsey of DFD productions to discuss all the history inside these walls! Beginning with its inception by father Salvador "Tutti" Camarata tracking & composing exclusively for Walt Disney, to beginning in the early 1960's as a rock n' roll house with The Beach Boys Pet Sounds, rock legends The Doors recording 4 groundbreaking albums as well as the story of the night Jim Morrison broke into the studio and vandalized it. The bands that would follow would be Led Zeppelin working on 2 and 4 here, Janis Joplin, Buffalo Springfield, Joni Mitchell, The Rolling Stones, Van Halen recording 5 albums, Toto, Smashing Pumpkins, The Black Keys, Elliot Smith, Mark Ronson, Red Hot Chili Peppers and who could forget Prince's 10 yr non stop run of recording & so much much more!!! It all happened here! Thanks for watching.

    I had the Jungle Book read-a-long record. I had never seen the movie (this was before video rentals but years after the initial movie release ). But I LOVED that record and book. So I was totally stoked when they brought it back to the theater in the late 70’s.

I grew up on so many of the records made there , even some of the Disney records and then the Doors and the rest of Rock history.Thanks!

I loved it, I could have listen to this chat for the next 3 hours no problem! 🤩💯👍🏻 This studio means so much to so many of us! 💖 There's just a small thing I was a bit disappointed though... when Paul was asked about the '90s, I thought he was going to mention Nirvana for sure! I know that Nevermind is well documented in Dave Growl's "Sound City" movie, but I wish he had shared some of his memories about it. Nonetheless, beautiful and very entertaining interview! Thank you so much for it!

    Excellent interview, music made in studios have a feel , that is timeless, when you go to a studio and work in atmosphere of history its an adventure. Nothing like having a group of musicians or a band locking into a groove , its something that is magical. Just the full current of electricity going to a console and if you can use tape is real art ,along with the acoustics in these legendary rooms .. love the passion you have in keeping Sunset Sound open . More young bands should go to studios instead of being one of the millions with a DAW and wanting a short cut to making music . Bring your hard drive from your home session and mix on a console and try out the echo chambers, you'll be glad you did one day ...

    One last thought. Artists like Carli B get over a million hits and will not be remembered in 5 years but yet this place is the history of music of the past 50 years and has 13 comments. I'm 2 of them. That's what's wrong with music today, people have no understanding of the history and nor do they care.

    I agree abt (some) people having no understanding nor care about history, or its deets but i respectfully disagree abt Cardi B. As repulsive as i find her genre to be she'll still be some (simple) adults childhood memory. Never forget that today is those simpletons "good ole days". But also the key to staying young is evolving with music. Try not to think "instead of", think "in addition to". The evolution of music, sound, is like a train always moving forward. Never get off the train. To remain onboard, is to remain forever young.

    And all the free music intruded the sales of CDs, thank god, they didn't quit to sale them, I'm a purify nerd about music, I'm a lucky guy, as a mixer that multitracks comes in via internet, and when I did the mix, straight to the mastering engineer. But there is one thing you have to keep in mind, quality, you won't find quality on itunes or any other streaming service. I have trained ears and I can get so the compressed and RAW recordings apart. My mentor always pointed to Sunset Studios, and if I had the money, I sure would bring a visit. But from Belgium it's an expensive trip. Good, there is youtube. Take care all.
