[wseeback]

This is gold.

[swisseragonplayer]

does anyone know what the music in the background is?

[iamchris1000]

russ came to my college to do a talk on production... man knows his shit ;)

[fatjimmorrison]

I'm rather sick of all these rocket science metal producers, give me Martin Birch anyday!

[koolaidolio]

Is it me or does he sound like Russell Brand?

[BenjoJames]

@koolaidolio Just you

[slmtutorials]

@koolaidolio definitely just you

[koolaidolio]

@slmtutorials Lol i guess so, he still is an awesome producer!

[headbagger63]

STAB

[baranismen]

What does he say at 5:37 ? "I tend to bring them at least ....." ??

[Coverguy88]

@baranismen

at least one pair of 'em in, so it's not hard out.

[timmsy1236]

@baranismen one pair of them in, as in one pair of guitars im guessing.

[FipoVega]

Mh, I wish they just let the guy just talk his mind and get any deeper than 10 secs in any matter!!

[Cheftrombone]

theres like popping noises in this video. kinda annoying

[damienro0]

What are triggers?

[FipoVega]

@damienro0 Is just like Tigers.. dont mind the 2 extra letters... (just messing 'round!)

[brucekirk89]

i got over 90 mics,but ussually rely on only 10 mics only

[mwstakyle]

This was really informative, not because he gives you a stack of information about 'the correct mics' or 'the correct micing techniques' it's just a 6 minute reminder that it's about listening to what you're recording and not getting stuck in habits, the main source of my problems a few years back was using the same thing over and over, thank god i grew out of that lol

[TERRANCIO]

Yeah, boring interview, and he is just nodding... 

[loraarol]

Awkward Interviewing!

[TheZzyzzx]

We not even metal niggas, but this guy is a genius

[asdrummer2008]

Damn, all I really focused on in this video are those really nice Focal Twin 6's in the background...

[defection]

Russ Russel, why the long face?.....ohh sorry.

[honestcam]

Wow, Russ was really gracious given how awful this interviewer was.

[JEKAZOL]

Some say the old albums are more real and dynamic, some say modern stuff is too compressed and neat. Isn't it obvious that the middle way gives you the best of both worlds? Don't compress 'everything' and don't be afraid to have a few tiny timing errors if it delivers a good feel.

[juggerknot9]

Is that really true about the guitar's lower end? You know, that the cab usually can't handle it? At what freq's can a cab handle in ratio to the head thats giving it?

[neilmad8]

to heavy, to compressed too this too that, stop complain and crying for the new production methods it´s all about the music style I like those guys I like their productions they create a new era and you guys seems like you live in a time machine allways trying to bring the past just enjoy the music and listen what the greatest producer have to said about their job cheers

[brucekirk89]

i actually used a blanket over my drummers kicks wile we recorded him

[SpiritMolecule1]

the production on ALL new albums sucks! its too clean and no dynamics and the drums sound like they are programmed, REAL SHITTY

[Sorgutentarer]

@SpiritMolecule1 +compressed to hell and maximized so much there is no room for dynamics anymore. mtv metal..

[SpiritMolecule1]

@Sorgutentarer yeah, sucks balls, the production of the old albums are way better, the stuff in 90s or early 2000, this new production really blows.

[Akerfeldtfan]

The moral of this guy's story is "it depends on the project." Still helpful at times.

[tranquito]

The sound in this is awful, you'd think a magazine that specialised in audio would care that it sounded like this!

[soundonsoundvideo]

@tranquito

This article was done by Mark Mynett not the Sound On Sound team, sorry about the quality but it's what we we're given. SOS

[joesags]

@tranquito I think that might be what they were trying to go for, some of the video has a vintage effect and there are crakles in the audio like that of a LP

[qmwneb13]

i find it just a bit odd that a podcast about recording has allot of pops and cracks in the audio.

[serdadu86]

0:53 SOS please don't use this 'old effect' again...it's look cheap,,trust me please

[Stratocastermark]

Thanks for posting - interesting to hear what these guys do just as a reference. Thought this guy was quite articulate, considering he's a 'shy producer' and not a "look-at-me" rockstar!! Thanks again

[yokoenen]

nice stuff. what's that song in the intro by the way...

[theHackerOfMayhem]

6****** :D

[keilan303]

Q. Do you ever do this?

A. Yes

Q. Do you ever do that?

A. Sometimes.

[strifeii]

[eddiehad]

Awesome!! Mark is my lecturer at uni, got him for recording and live sound. Couldnt have anyone better, he knows EVERYTHING! haha

[eftibass]

Indeed, very cool stuff! Thanks, SoS!

[IPRAudioSchool]
