Dave is joined by Four-time GRAMMY winning recording engineer and record producer, Jimmy Douglass, in the 29th episode of Pensado's Place! This week's ITL features Dave giving you tips on how to use Gate's in non-traditional ways to get cool results, and Jimmy sticks around to answer Dave's rapid-fire questions in this week's Batter's Box, as well as surprises dave with a "The Senator" compressor as a gift!
From jimmydouglass.com... "In the early 1970′s at Atlantic Records studios in New York City, he started his studio career as a part-time tape duplicator while still attending high school. There he learned how to operate the studio's custom made 16-channel console and observed, was trained by, as well as worked with some of the greatest engineers, producers and record moguls including Tom Dowd, Arif Mardin, Jerry Wexler and Ahmet Ertegun. For his first time behind the faders, he was encouraged by Wexler to engineer the session recording for a demo of a new band. He went on to work with great Atlantic Recording artists such as Aretha Franklin, Hall & Oates, Roberta Flack, Donny Hathaway, Foreigner, Led Zepellin and AC/DC to name a few.
During the 1980′s, Douglass continued to hone his engineering skills while also taking on the role as producer. He engineered and produced established artists including The Rolling Stones, Slave, Odyssey, Roxy Music and Gang of Four.
In 1994, he began working with up and coming contemporary R&B/hip hop producer Timbaland and served as his main engineer for more than a decade. They would eventually collaborate on classic projects from artists such as Aaliyah, Missy Elliot, Ginuwine and Jay-Z .
Beginning the new millennium, Douglass continued engineering and mixing more Timbaland produced projects including Snoop Dogg, Bjork and Grammy winning albums for Justin Timberlake. Among the artists he also mixed are Rob Thomas, Sean Paul, Kanye West, Ludacris, Al Green, John Legend and Duran Duran."

I feel like I know what I'm doing and still F up every mix I do lol
-
These shows are so good, just when I don't think they can top the prior episodes they do!
-
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
-
Mr. Trawick, Taipei IS Taiwan, its the Taiwanese capital city LOL

Gated signal generator. #Dope

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!

Stephen Marcussen ... please!

Dave you rock!
All the best to you and yours!

@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.

@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
