You is a Angel 😇😇😇😇
0:45 Dave - "Nice to meet you" Vaughn - "Yes, absolutely" Lmao, Classic Vaughn.
I chuckled at that one too!
Great, awesome. So cool that he had time for us. Many thanks.
Never been here this early, posted 10 seconds ago!!! I'm sure this is going to be interesting!!!
You are really good at interviewing. Very kind and passionate.
Thank you Nenko!! VG :-)
33 years, his mind is clear to speak about the details,the production, for me is a long time to remember that details, that show that Dave is a great professional and DM had a great producer. Thanks and good health VG.
Cheers Fernando !! VG:-)
Thank you for this lovely and original work. 100% pioneer. TH-cam and Digital Era is a better place because of Vaughn George's videos.
Afonso Alão thank you for your kind words and I do what I do for people like you!! VG 😎👍🎹
@@VaughnGeorge Thank you. Here's my synth-pop electronic project: m.soundcloud.com/runningbattle
Hope you're doing well!
Awesome interview! 😁Thank you Vaughan 🙏
This is a great start Vaughn. Dave Bascombe impresses me as a man happy to share the story of his incredible journey. I can't wait for Part 2. Cheers!
Great Interview Vaughan, been hanging out for it for a while, love that album to bits and we are so lucky that Dave agreed to talk with you, fantastic to hear how he started in the industry and yes, being at the start of the technology revolution with electronic music and production/engineering and how much work went in to producing what we got to hear.
Like many others on this channel, really looking forward to the rest of your interviews in this series, keep up the stirling work!
Thank you for your kind words and I am glad you are enjoying the channel!! VG:-)
Great start Vaughn! Good to hear from you again!! 🙏🏻
Anders Larsson my friend it’s good to be back !! Keep safe my friend !! VG 😎👍🎹
Thank you so much for letting us see part 1 of the interview. Vaughn, you’re the best!
Thank you Joseph!! VG:-)
Yes. Nice one Vaughn.
Dave Bascombe made those drums sound so massive and epic on MFTM. IMO never before and after this album were their rhythm tracks so natural sounding, even when they had real drummers in the studio, either Alan or other session drummers. To me MFTM is their absolute tour de force.
Thanks for the interesting and much needed focus changing video. Times are tough and this helps. Stay safe!
You are welcome Franco!! All the best to you!! VG:-)
Great first part. Can't wait to see the other parts. Thank you Vaughn.
one of the BEST. On my shorlist for best ever.
Never knew Dave produced Mary's Prayer. A masterpiece!
AWESOMENESS !! LOVE IT !!
Thank you , Vaughn!!!... very interesting interview. Hope ur doing well during this global crisis!... stay safe brother!
Awesome! can't wait for the next part.
Now this is fun. Looking forward to part 2!
Great stuff, Vaughn. Looking forward to what follows!
Great video VG. Most polished one yet. Excellent work. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thank you Gary!! VG:-)
A Million views on this Amazing Channel 🎹 Its just the beginning THANKS Vaughn for making our life a little better!! Especially in times like this!! #ElectronicFamily
Fantastic!!!
This is awesome!!! Social isolation has never been so easy. And I couldn’t help but notice Dave uses a pair of Focal Clear’s for mixing and listening. Great headphones. :)
Love it!!!!
A wonderful start with Part 1, Vaughn! I particularly enjoyed learning about his trajectory from being in a small band, to becoming an engineer and then a producer. His anecdote about being in the right place at the right time with Tears for Fears was great, it gave me chills! Really looking forward to Part 2.
Thank you and I am glad you enjoyed it!! VG:-)
I really enjoyed that 👍🏼
Amazing!
This was really awesome and lovely to hear Dave talk about music. Thank you Vaughn 😊.
You're welcome John!! VG:-)
Vaughn George Thank you and you’re welcome 😊
Only just gotten around to this interview now - life happened - but it is really good. Dave seems soo easy going and happy to do GeekTalk. :-) A scoop, Vaughn!
Now on to part two! :-)
I really appreciated the kindness and simplicity with which he answered you but it is also due to your own humility and the space you give him to express himself. Great interview, Vaughn.
I especially liked the moment when the current work is compared with the work of the "time before".
How can you produce well now if you didn't have your hands in the dirt before?
Being limited technically obliges us to compensate with more creativity, tests, empirically.
One could answer "ok boomer", but having had fun by let a drummer playing, placing his mics in front of his speakers to be able to resample a better sound and rework it, how to triturate a sound with your own hands is the essence of sound recording/mixing. What he was able to offer DM was the work of a real sound worker.
A farmer ploughing his field knows better how his land will react rather than just perched on a tractor connected to his smartphone :)
Can't wait to hear more
Man that was too short. I’m really liking this one!!!!
To me, Dave Bascombe will always be the producer of one of my favorite albums of all time - the criminally under-appreciated (and absolutely magnificent) _Life's Hard and Then You Die_ by It's Immaterial. A flawless record, tip to toe.
VG - BIG thanks - I always love a bit of Geek Talk. (I'm waiting to find out if you asked him how Fletch contributed to the album?)
smirkwood Fletcher contributes filler claps !! VG 👍🎹😎
@@VaughnGeorge I guess it replaces the missing Hi Hats! :-)
Vaughn you are very natural doing this. Excellent interview. MFTM To Have and To Hold remains the darkest DM song ever. Magnificent work. Watching this video just 2 km from the Rose 🌹 Bowl. Cheers.
I love his first hit, "Mary's Prayer," and the rest of the album!
Such a nice guy..
And yes he was there at the beginning so he knows the old way trials and tribulations.
But embraced new tech to make things more productive.
Rock on 🤘
Love this.
Great stuff. My band have just produced a version of Relax to lighten things up during this rather dismal situation. We produced it separately from 4 different locations over a few days (in lockdown where we live) and we've got it sounding pretty similar to the original. To think of how much more money, gear, talent, precision, effort and time was needed in the 80s really makes you appreciate what the likes of Horn, Bascome and Jones were able to do in those days. The original records with the old gear still somehow sound better and more geniune than anything made these days with software. It's close but it just isn't the real thing.
Good that you are keeping creative !! VG:-)
DIsco and especially Donna Summer changed everything
any insights about the voice chain mix for roland in tears for fears? I am always impressed for the delay setup.
Never knew he produced Mary’s Prayer by Danny Wilson. I know these guys well since they’re from the same city as me.
You said mftm is so secret and we do not have information about it,And i believe that we can not find so much martin demo for this album ,i think there is one for little 15/im eager to know the processing of guitar and drum in mever let me down again/after all dave is obviously so talented
Don't have time to watch all these and I already saw his MftM interview on the re-release documentary.. does someone have a timestamp where he discusses working on Seeds of Love or does he not even talk about it?
Hehe you forgot to Ask him about the absolute end of the album, the pianoklonking and glasses klonking or something
About this modern digital VST thing. I heard about musicians that goes all in to use like all available channels they can in a program for one song.
"In this song I have used all the 99 channels that I could use!"
I never understood the idea about that. Its allmost like a kind of "sound masturbation". Its like they think that the more sounds and effect they put in to the mix the better the end result must be.
To be fair that's not always the case.
You can use many tracks to separate sounds clearly for individual volume settings as opposed to using too much automation on a single track.
Or placing layered snare tops and bottoms on separate tracks etc.
I find using more tracks a way to make sense of the sound field.
It's not always about throwing in the kitchen sink. 😉
Is there an orchestra on Little 15? I think It is not credited...
fabricio cantoni no it was all samples and synthesised sound . VG 😎👍🎹
14:20 that’s it
What about social distancing lol....great interview
David Bascombe:
Songs From The Big Chair(1985)
Music For The Masses(1987)
H2O.. Now there's an excellent band you don't often hear mentioned now a days!
"Strangelove"
Words And Music:Sir Martin Gore
Produced By Sir Alan Wilder And Sir David Bascombe
Great point about making the most of what you got. I’ve read interviews with OMD and Human League where they talk about the sound they had being distinctive, purely because of the equipment. Nowadays if you want a Moog sound, it’s so easy to get that from any number of sources. Back then, you either had to buy one or know a mate that had one. If not, you stuck with the keyboard you had.
Adam Wise very true what you say there matey !! VG👍🎹😎
Seems like a totally sound bloke
He is!! VG:-)
“ I thought drummers were boring as hell”. Lmao!!! Classic!!!
tony duncan we should get him to say that to Rusty Egan !!😂🎹👍
Vaughn George most definitely!!! Or a hybrid “ drummers you ain’t got it”. Lmao!!!!
Ironically Pete DeFreitas was the craziest guy among Bunnymen.
I love "Mary's Prayer" by Danny Wilson! It has a great production, big sound compared to other singles of that year.
