    No sure you have done something like good or great songs recorded badly? would it improve the song or be less fatiguing? You always see the "Remastered" versions of classics, is this why? would be cool to dive into this a bit. Maybe you can remix a song from stems? i guess it can be subjective but cool to hear the differences anyway? LOVE THE VIDS! maybe i should join your website plan?

    Interesting topic about the way your head works and then forgets; and something I totally find empathy with. Whether it's learning another band's set, playing in umpteen covers bands, or even the stuff I've written and recorded in the last 12 months, especially when - as I do - I take on the role of writer, arranger, performer, engineer and producer; I'm probably unable to play and sing any of my recent tunes, accurately from memory - I do it and move on; 'emptying my mind', as Tony says, once the job is complete. Over the years, I must have learnt to play 1000's of tunes, but it fades. Now, I watch this 'ere channel to get to new levels, and to a point where I'll be just as quick with the recording, engineering & mixing side, as I can with the playing side. Ultimately, I'm of the opinion that it's much better to be creating anew, and not dwelling in the past moment more than necessary. I like moving through genres, styles and tones, as much as I can and adore the new vista each brings. Great vid. Tony seems a likeable chap?

It was great to hear his detailed description of the Coil stuff (its on my list already) and its nice to see another Chandler Zener fan -I love mine on parallel kick and snare in limit mode. Cuts through the mix without having to crank the levels. Thanks for putting these interviews together. I reckon we all aspire to being interviewed by you now to know we’ve made it :-D

It’s surely not a performance deficiency…Live at Leeds, etc. Cheers and thanks for all you do, Warren.

    I agree with what you say. I used to create Ableton, as it allows us to be very imaginative, both using Midi tracks, but it has also made a nice leap forward in the control of audio tracks. Obviously for the mixing phase it is the least indicated. While as far as tactility is concerned, I mean being able to control more functions, for greater fluidity, but above all for me it is having the sound in your hands and shaping it as you wish. I would dare to say that the difference lies precisely in the physical contact, in that action of touching a bond is created. but today with all the new technologies, there are endless control interfaces, be it a desk, a synth, connected to a good PC and with good plugins that emulate hardwere equipment, you can get results, as well as fantastic, almost deceptive. my personal opinion.

    Just wondering, putting the Soyuz on the bottom of the piano, wouldn’t that be picking up the pedal movement a bunch? Just did a record where the pedals got in heavily, ended up using it as effect, mother of invention situation, but wondering if anyone else has that issue and if there is a prime solution that I’m missing? And also wondering about the Soyuz being FET or tube? And to add of course, what is a ‘boffin’?!?!?!

    Fable Club take away the guitar, are you still a guitarist? Take away a piano, are you still a pianist? Prove it by playing the air! Have you ever seen what some of these people can do with JUST a computer? We shouldn’t say musicians are only real musicians IF. That’s such a small way to view art. Songs that are made on the computer don’t materialize out of thin air. They’re made intentionally by a human, and if it’s made intentionally by a human, it’s art. No matter what toys or tools or instruments are being used. Who someone is as an athlete or musician is defined by that individual and no one else. You don’t need someone’s permission to be anything or create anything.

    @@theworkdayrelease Everything anyone does can be called art which makes the word worthless. That's petty and amateur. Take away a guitar or piano or any level of technology and you always carry music in your voice and hands and feet. Musical knowledge isn't the same as instrumental or technical ability. Yes, I've heard plenty of the new stuff and "what they can do" and it's all tricks and icing and toys. There's an old pre-computer saying in music from back in the 1970's. "Take away all the production and just sing the song with a guitar or piano. Does it sound great? Does it last? Does it move you?" Take away all those filter sweeps and panning tricks and pumping compressors... what have you got left? You don't need my permission to twiddle knobs. Twiddle your little heart out!
