@seaweedmusic Seems to me there are those that want to be spoon fed and these that want to learn how to use their cutlery. This show is for the latter.
classic Batter's Box, so far Jimmy's been the most undemanding engineer in terms of gear preferences, so it's probably not so much about what you got, but what you can do with it
all this mpc and keyboard beat oriented pop dance trance r&b stuff is being recorded at the artists home on a 44.1 khz demo that is burnt to a cd printed from a DAW that could burn the disc at 96k! all before they ever set foot in a pro studio. so all they really want nowadays is mastering type stuff from a mix engineer. the sound the artists wanted was EQ'd by the artist on their home DAW already!
oh and sarm west is right next to my home. it belongs to the legendary Trevor Horn, the man who really pioneered sampling at such an early time (art of noise / malcolm mclaren). metropolis still exists but I think it may have moved. Great to hear the top guys having such a high regard for the music here in UK. 1 Love
I'm so grateful for all these great videos. Please could you interview Eddie Sancho or someone from the (now closed) D&D studios in NY (home of DJ Premier & where a lot of historic hip hop was recorded & mixed & had a very unique sound).
Thanks again, this is a proucer/engineer's dream come true
Wow, This is soo useful... pensado's place help me to start my day; and start mixing and if i'm tired; i watch again to continue... Thanks to all the team.
Guys,You rock!!!Really.You may have changed a lot of "debutant" engineer life,i'm pretty sure about that!I know,I may be late for this but this one with Mr. "The Senator" was a really good show!Thank you for that.
anyone who doesn't gain info from the interviews and want more ITL (which is a great part of the show) are not listening to what these guys are saying And ITL alone will not teach you what you want. So open your ears the info is flowing with every statement they make. at time is the not the tool one has but how creative one can get with the tool one has on hands. I love everything I have heard and have already gain sooo much info. Best show to watch.
for those of yall talkin down on the show, this IS NOT FOR U. these dudes put out alotta knowledge even in their small talk. for those of yall actually in the industry, i kno yall can appreciate every piece of these shows. ive been thru audio school and worked outta plenty studios and Dave still manages to expand on my thoughts so these shows are appreciated. Thank u Pensado for teaching those who are willing to learn!!!!
@seaweedmusic I think you are the only prissy princess here. These guys are on the top of their game. Dave is doing a show once a week f FOR FREE giving us all invaluable information. If you can´t improove you´re mixing/producing, if you don´t get inspired by all these living legends I just feel sorry for you.
Dave could make DVDs and sell these shows and I´m sure he´d sell a lot....but he has decided to give it away FOR FREE......
so please do me a favour and stop moaning about the show.
Jimmy Douglass, the hardest working engineer ever!!! He's done more classic records in the first few years in his career that most people will do in 30!!!!
@seaweedmusic i think they should use a viewer submitted session file to show how to deal with some "common" issues that someone not recording in a million dollar studio would face. this would lead to future show topics because it couldn't be done in one episode, especially not when a majority of the time is filled with interviews (which i still do appreciate), instead of more of the ITL section. maybe just lengthening the ITL time could even help more. my $0.02. love me or hate me. Thanks Dave
@seaweedmusic yeah I agree to a point however I do find it interesting just to hear these guys talk about their experience.Every now and then someone says something which I learn a lot from.I think because they are drawing from years of experience they offer some rare insight.but yes I do agree sometimes it just gets a bit slow.
@seaweedmusic I dont think you get the point of the show then. the nuts and bolts you can go find yourself, pensado's place offers perspective for all levels of experience. i would like to see the guests go a bit heavier technically as well, it'd be nice to see more of them on ITL. But their philosophical and conceptual approaches are the most interesting thing about the show to me.
Noone is going to break new ground just by watching this show, they all do variations of the same thing.
@seaweedmusic Seems to me there are those that want to be spoon fed and those that want to learn how to use their cutlery and eat what they want. This show is for the latter, which are you?
Can you do a segment on mixing levels regarding headroom, calibrating meters, floating point rules,etc. Sorry if it's already been covered, I haven't gone through all the episodes yet. Thanks for all the wonderful sharing and insights. This is by far the most amazing program I've seen relating to my interests in music. Best of wishes. Scott
Great show as always. It was interesting to hear that Jimmy didn't necessarily the work-your-way-up-cleaning-toilets method of learning audio engineering.
Holy moly! What a great show. Home run, guys. Dave and Jimmy were saying almost the same thing in a completely different way. Dave has been saying all along not to listen to the details, but take the concept and that is precisely what trial and error (Jimmy) does. For a completely self taught musician now trying to record, this was gold. Unbelievable helpful. Other than the potty mouth (hey, I'm a Pastor guys), perfect show. You are doing something special you all. A huge gap is closed for me!
@111ent wow man thats amazing that was some real stuff you said i probably wouldve done the same thing... the first time i met him was at aes 2007 nyc and i screwed up by asking him so many dumb questions..smh... and he told me its not about the stature of the client... you just have a job to do... make sure you do it right and dont let celeb status get in the way of your craft... i was 17 so gimmie a break lol but that advice stuck with me till this day at 23 lol...
@callirmuzik1 "Thank You" for sharing that experience and the words of wisdom you received... it is truly inspiring. I think you did the right thing by asking those questions... because you walked away with some great advice... and due to your kindness... we are benefiting from that advice as well.

My comments, after watching many episodes to date....
I want to like it, i do like the concept, but i always feel like very little happens over an episode.
Too basic, too much talk about how great everyone is (so boring) and not enough nuts and bolts.
Is it because of the music that you guys are used to making, the glamour profession, delicate actresses and actors?
We're engineers, not prissy princesses.
Drop the sucky stuff and pick up on the content. It gets downright queezy sometimes.
