I love how Tom rolls right into life’s been good😂 homeboy said “bet”

Bro kick and bass are differnt they have different frequncy range u cant produce bass from a kick drum U play different style its ok but please know the difference between a crash and cymbal ....they have different kind of attack they need to be hit harder for their specific sound ....splash 😅 chimes n bells we'll just ignore them for now 😅

Agree 110% ... Crashing occasionally ok, but Cymbals can be heard quite easily, no reason to smash everything constantly

This is probably the only short I've ever seen to reference Melodyne. And yes, it's way more powerful, and better.

Long story short... That entire record made Desmond filthy rich 🤑

Nice to know this :-) history

So cool to hear someone want to keep the imperfections, that is truly what makes great music. I am a drummer and cannot stand when someone wants to move anything I played. I will never lie, to save time and money you can do a minor adjustment here and there,, but never change the groove of the piece when you got swing! A minor mistake or imperfection can make a song what it is! That's my OG feeling LOL!

This is a great studio 4 sure, we recorded some demos in 2010 in studio D, I need to go back. (If y'all need a solid drummer, call me! LOL) It's truly cool watching and listening to John and his passion for sound. I remember leaving a CD of one of my songs for Martina, it was a long shot but John kept in touch and said they like the song but it was not a fit. Really a cool experience, here is a video I did this year as a tribute to our singer Mike. th-cam.com/video/GeeARHlPB1I/w-d-xo.html

fantastic background tech info on the engineers working with him.

Desmond is an absolute genius songwriter. From Kiss to Aerosmith to Ricky Martin to Bon Jovi.

What if I feel it sounds better when the peaks are at -9db?

i can only BEGIN to understand Prince's mentality, in current-day, with modern equipment and tech... this dude was doing it ON TAPE, where you have to PHYSICALLY Cut and Paste parts together (or get it Perfect first-try)...i think the pure tedium of it all would make me wanna quit...

The people who worked in the studio w Prince (ie Mr Leonard) had to be geniuses in their own right to provide Mr Amazing with the sound-timing-perspective needed. Prince could hear the finished product. It took amazing people to make it audible.

If its not aloud.. its aquiet

I hear the toy piano, and it always makes me smile 😊

(Prince does a drum sound check) This guy: "wow..." 🤯

At last. The right place for the story. 1985 Nice French Riviera Victorin Studio. Warner Bros came in to produce "Under the cherry moon" the movie. I was a simple driver back then but I got the job of driving Marie France (Berstein), Prince's designer since Purple Rain. Long story short, I got to see and hear a lot.... Once, Jerome Benton told me that Prince was able to record a track, drink a coffe, and come back without loosing the beat !!! I thought he was jocking..... Prince was the real deal. RIP master. The best 7 months of my life.

Jesus, how insane was that for PRINCE to have such great tape space time ability

Did he record there before he had Paisley?

Wanted to listen to this but behind paywall. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The reason why stil don’t have a newer Michael Jackson is because of social media. Social media is killing human being’s creativity, everybody is just following the crowd

It's almost as if he could count.

Before computers

"30 hours straight through until the song was done". I'm gonna apply this to life.

The implications here are big…and many mistakes are made from here….

Natural time keeper, u can learn it, study n get a fake music degrees nothing beats a natural n very few real musicians have it from guitar rythem playing to just simple clapping, that's why they're million s of drummer n only couple make the grades

;

So zero means zero

Prince rules ❤️

Wow man, this is like historical gold shit here. It's nice to listen to a seasoned veteran who can make it simple with decades of wisdom. Imagine have the stress of the pressure? you have a job, most important of your life with your heroes, idols and navigating this fantasy world of opportunity? .... Now that's pressure. Mick and Keith being the competitive brothers and Charlie relaxing with a deadpan smile "I got all day cause it's going to be all day like normal" .... Stones had a rebirth with "Some Girls" and it was like you heard them constant, album after album for the next 20 years, touring like banshees. they were really hard tickets to get men, they sold out in a flash. Kids today couldn't comprehend that shit in the late 70's-80's when I was of concert age :) And you had MTV that gave rise to an array of mind blowing styles around the globe. Those were wonderful times of more than playing on a stage, oh no. The game was new, it became a major production of sights and sounds filling arena's packed stadiums, technology growing leaps and bounds, elaborate stages and stunts! i watched EVH fly across the floor seats, Tommy Lee playing drums upside down and Eddie breathing fire! and Ozzy performing at the base of the stairs to the cathedral with fire shooting Gargoyle's 10' tall! ~ And I also saw the Scorpions with a string orchestra with a pure, perfect tone make your body transcend the gravity of earth with the sweetest sounds ever assembled for "Holiday" And I saw Molly Hatchet chug Jack Daniels, smoke a carton of Marlboros and a dozen joints and play solid for 90 minutes with sweat pouring of their clothes to perfection where NO ONE sat down! And Rob Halford move your soul to the point you wanted to go fight a block wall with your face and have you walking around with evil happiness..... Had to be there --- Oh, and got to see BOC, it was so loud, the rumor was they made the foundation sink 2 inches at the Capitol Center. Like every other concert at the time, you couldn't hear well for a few days, cotton in the ears~I think that's partially why I have to pop "my ears" in from the charger in the morning these days HAHA!

I'm sorry but why is this impressive? I understand that for most pop musicians this would be impossible, but Prince was actually truly musically talented. you can't compare him to most pop musicians, he was at a professional level, and this kind of thing is actually expected for a professional. I mean would you even blink if an elite classical violinist or an elite classical pianist did this? of course not, it's assumed that this is a basic skill that they have mastered.

where are the bodies garth?

Aaaaand that's why the Strymon Deco will NEVER leave my recording chain!

Prince played every instrument in this wonderful tune! th-cam.com/video/3ejNfTpiTB0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Zhtw6S2h8mUHZFki

He was a talented person…. No 💩

That is exactly how I used to mix. He is totally correct. 30 years of mixing FOH, my hearing is still so good. I sometimes wish I could turn my ears down.

It's not "amazing". Any drummer worth his salt can keep time like that.

TOM: I did some amazing stuff and was out of tune and it ruined it JOE: Tuning doesn't matter LOL

Comedians do it all the time. Dancers are the best.

Without examples to hear, I sure hope your audience is audio nerds. Wait, I'm an audio nerd. Need an example, man. I want to hear what you mean.

Because the crowd only listens to one side of the PA at a time or whatever?

Who is this talking?

Add a beard and you’ve got Dave Grohl.

I really hate how everything is becoming a subscription.

I love Paula... no matter how famous or not you were, she made you feel welcome and that the room was yours.

So like, that will make my guitar sound gooder or something?

Prince played and recorded without a click track. In other words, he was a musician.

I read a story a while ago about a band (a contemporary band, don't remember the name) that was touring and on the way to the next city, 2 laptops were lost. They had to cancel the show. They couldn't play without those laptops. The computers had backing tracks and other things like that on them. These guys literally couldn't just go out on stage with instruments, mics, and some amps or speakers and play. They had to have all that technology and gear to do a "live" show. That is sad. People like that are not musicians. They are technicians.

if you need alot of either you should just get better source material 90 percent of the time

Should people use "clicks" when they are making love?
