Hi Friends, Linda Taylor is not only a world class Guitar player but also an incredible Songwriter, Producer and Engineer. I had a great time talking with Linda and touring her wonderful studio.
you all prolly dont care at all but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Bowen Jake thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and im trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Wow, I can't believe I've never heard of her before. Great player, she knows so much, and seems like a genuine, wonderful person. Love the video! Thanks Warren and Linda!
Thanks Arturo Lopez! Yes Linda is a wonderful guitarist and a really genuine person, I'm a huge fan of her playing! Thanks very much for the wonderful comment! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Wow! bless your heart Warren, thank you so much for all your videos that are so informative to us home studio guys. We have been maligned to a degree about us not being professional or how we are destroying the big studio business. To be fair some of the criticism is earned since some of us home studio guys do bad recording and think its about the gear too much when in fact great recording basics like the ones you teach us can greatly enhance our recordings. Your wisdom is very much appreciated and I have learned so many techniques that have enhanced my recordings. Thank you Mr. Huart, you are such an inspiration.
Hi AdonisAiolos thanks ever so much for your kind words, I really appreciate it! I am a home studio guy!! I started with 2 cassette players, moved to 4 track cassette, then basic cheap reel to reel, ADATS, then Pro Tools. I never worked in a studio, did it all on my own! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hi onwee72 haha exactly! As long as it's not a concrete box or covered in glass! Has to sound great where you sit! Thanks very much I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
She just proved acoustic treatment is way over rated. Don't get me wrong, it is needed in a lot of cases. But when engineers says you can't mix with out it, they are just bias for the acoustic companies.
There's video production for over a year and I'm currently going through large portions of it. This was super and such a nice person. Good that she played some. Excellent video.
Hi +rawstarmusic Fantastic!! So glad to be able to help!! Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
What a great interview ! Linda is quite the guitar player and she has great tone too. I love that her recording setup is actually pretty simple and could be considered affordable for most aspiring producers. You could even go as far as designing a recording system inspired by hers that would cost less and still allow you to achieve great results by focusing on the bare essential... Loved the Ikea type studio comment too, as I find that studios that are too shiny, clean and glossy less than inspiring to work in too... It has to have a mood to it. In short, thanks for the interview. I discovered a great artist thanks to you. :)
I just ran across an interview you did with Maia Sharp to promote the release for The Dash Between The Dates. I was blown away by Maia this past November and bought her cd's. Have to say on my first listen, the production quality most impressive. The challenge bring it all across to a listener with that clarity was exceeded. Bravo Linda your studio rocks, thanks for helping make one of my new all time favorite cd's. I'll be sure to follow the tunes you kick out from now on.
Gibson ES335 ....I have the Custom ..great guitar. Great talent this person ....I liked hearing the exchange of information back and forth ...no egos ..just learning ..the growth mindset as Carol Dweck wrote in her book ...very inspiring!!!
Love the Style of your show…Great insight and interviews with working Professional without the "Hyped up, Advertizing & Sponsership Laidened "Corporate Commercial" Sound Snoberry Gear Lust Fest like other shows…Your SHow is Like Meat & Potatoes ; compared to other Marsh Mellow Fluff Internet Show…Filling & satisfying yet I can't help myself from watching more…Please keep up your No non sense , honest style ,and love of music & music making….
Hi +James Saldana Wow!! Possibly the best compliment I've ever received! Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hi Warren. Just started watching these Videos (I am a big fan of Scott's Bass Lessons which brought me here!) and just wanted to say thanks! You seem a very human .... well human ..... a pleasure to listen to and learn from your wealth of experience. :)
Hi +Matthew Hyman Fantastic! Yes Scott rules!! Great guy and an amazing player!! Thanks very much I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
This lady is obviously a f**ckn' bad ass! I love her focus on maintaining as much analog sound as possible. I love when she says things like "they say it doesn't make a difference, it does, they're lying." Not only is she dead nuts right but from that you know she has ears, and they work!
Probably have better chance of getting struck by lightning, than find someone as endearing as this. Thanks for the upload, great conversation, great channel.
Linda, I was in awe of your talents! You not only play a Strat like there's no tomorrow, you have such a Sound Mixers Technology knowledge at Engineer status and such a humble beautiful woman! Thankyou! for such a wonderful insight into the love of music you have! AND produce!! AND perform!!! A very special Lady!
Very "Meters"... Yay, indeed! She's got a stunning sounding setup there, and she's a great guitarist. How come this is the first I've heard of Linda Taylor??
Warren, thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge that has cost you the most valuable thing on life: time. Thanks a lot! You are a really good teacher and you seem to be a really nice guy. You really are a Pro. Greetings from Costa Rica!
I love the rundown, I hope you do follow up with more from Linda. Monty Montgomery used two SWR tube buffers for a while on his live rig, one for the guitar pedals and one for vocals, they really make a difference in tonal quality.
A note for Lynda. The Black box apparently works best if you plug your guitar into it as the first part of your chain, as you do. However, in the case of distortion or fuzz boxes, it is suggested that they and only distortion type boxes go first in the chain. All others (delays reverbes) go after. It might be interesting to try. Great show Warren and Lynda
Hi Jacke. :>) Yes, with Fuzz pedals you'll want to adjust their placement - many of them don't work well with buffers. I rarely use a fuzz, and when I do it's strapped to a loop off the chain so no worries. Linda.
Moça! eu sou um amante das cordas! preciso te falar uma coisa: você é simplesmente uma guitarrista fantástica, seu jeito de tocar é simplesmente maravilhoso! parabéns pelo seu talento! muita saúde e muito som na caixa
Agreed luciano quel Linda is a fantastic guitar player! I want to go back and get more footage of her playing! Thanks very much for the wonderful comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hi +Kash Meer Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Yes Linda's set up is great! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
It took me a while to find a "Studio Tour" channel that caters to more traditional studios rather than the nu-wave-insta-midi-muso-pseudo-studios. Especially hard to find guitar-centric studios. Props on a great channel. Really informative.
Hi ***** thanks very much! Really glad to be of help! Blessed to be able to make music for a living! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hi sanoysuelto thanks very much! Yes I was Linda Taylor is a wonderful musician and producer and has great equipment! Was a lot of fun! Thanks for watching and commenting! Have a marvelous time recording! Many thanks Warren
Hi Nemanja Lazic thanks very much! Thanks very much for the wonderful comment! I really appreciate it. Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
I’m trying to learn how to record guitar, vocals, possibly harp and second vocals. Much of this is way over my head, but so interesting. I just got an audio interface and am looking at surface controllers, amazed to see that Linda is using a trackball instead. I use a Wacom tablet for photoshop, and wonder if it could also be used as a controller for a DAW.
Hi blood lord yes indeed, so many great albums were not made in traditional studios! Thanks very much for the wonderful comment! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hi earth thanks for the comment. As I was saying above most mixing rooms are not flat at all, at least not overly. My room where I mixed the last Aerosmith album, the latest Black Veil Brides DVD/BluRay etc does;t have a huge amount of treatment, but it does fantastic where I sit between the speakers and is a great environment to sit and work in for long periods of time. Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
earth It's not misleading because that has nothing to do with recording (Which is the subject),but only post production. Good head phones also eliminates a problem with a room not treated.
Hi earth that's a fantastic song! Wonderful band! Actually I did their second album 'Make Up The Breakdown'. Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Lovely work Warren,Just a heads up that possibly the camera mike had a fit trying to pick up her guitar tone's..Top end breaking up!!No biggie as I am thoroughly enjoying your subscription.Just thought id give you the heads up!!Peace bro and love your work!!Have a listen and please tell me its not my end!!Cheers!!
Hi Warren, I was super surprised to hear that you strap pultecs across your master buss. Considering inductor style eq changes phase relationships I would have thought you might have gone for maag audio eq4 or their older models the nightpro eq. ect. Nonetheless your mixes sound amazing...showing that whatever it takes to get there right? This series is amazing!! so much fun!
Interesting statement! I'm sure you're probably aware Pultecs were largely used in Mastering Studios where phase was very important! I'm going to text one of the guys from Pultec now to get an answer for you!
Hi Matt Lempert Thanks very much for the wonderful comment! Thanks for watching and sharing, I really appreciate it! Have a marvelous time recording! Many thanks Warren
Hi Mat Melton yes it's a great collection of pedals and she know how to use them. Thanks very much for the wonderful comment! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
marriage is not for guys like me , but i would marry her :) bcs she's so into music and she can play like guitar goddess :) another diamond episode ... great work, as always ... r e s p e c t !
Cannot tell you how great your vids are. It's like a master class. I've learned so much. And these where you visit others setups and their gear and just being a fly in the wall of the conversations is really awesome. One question. What is summing?
Hi funkyboss007 thanks for the kind words! Summing when you take two or more tracks and send them to the same output, does that make sense? Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
That reminds me of when I used to bounce multiple tracks down to a single track on my old four track. I know it's not the same but is that the right concept? But doesn't that mean you have one eq and level etc to mix all those summed channels with? I guess I'm not sure why you would use summing.
Hi Emily Wheeler great question! It's if you have multiple sounds that create one sound, such as snare top, snare bottom or two heavy guitars summed to one. Or even a full drum kit summed to a stereo aux. Does that help? Thanks very much for your question, I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Exactly...and I think when Warren and I were discussing it we were specifically talking about using an external summing box as opposed to the internal summing of the DAW. There's endless sees of information about the Pro Tools summing bus (any DAW's) and your ears will tell you which way you need to go. I was an early adopter of external summing, and I still use it today.
I always wonder what the difference is between the analog section of the Dangerous Music summing boxes (which don't allow you to control anything) and a Mackie mixer, for instance. I have an old Mackie 8 bus (24x8) and was thinking of trying it for summing - can anyone explain what's so good about the analog section of the dangerous music summing boxes? Thanks in advance.
Hi Jed Wunderli great question! I would say that the Dangerous Summing box with transformers in it will be a lot warmer sounding than the Mackie, however I would definitely try the Mackie, I'd be intrigued to see how it sounded! Let me know! Thanks very much for the wonderful comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Cool interview, cool guitarist, cool studio, cool host, cool pedals... EVERYTHING WAS COOL!! Can you give a comment on the Event 20/20s. I have them and I love them a lot but would like to hear you opinion on them. Keep cool!! Sumbi
Hi Chad Bailey that's a great question! I will have to ask Linda next time we film! Thanks very much for the wonderful comment! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
She's got a great studio and she's a good player. She mentioned she wanted to get an Apogee - UAD just came out with an upgraded Apollo 8 with better converters and such and I also noticed she has the Avid converters (HD system, I think?) Would she not use the Avid / Digidesign stuff? I want to see more of her analog gear as well. Do a 2nd and 3rd part, please. Let's hear some of her tracks. :) Thanks, Warren and Linda.
Thanks Jed Wunderli! Yes Linda is a fantastic player! Yes we are definitely going to do more videos, Linda is a really talented Producer, Multi Instrumentalist, Engineer and Mixer so we are going to show one of her sessions next time. Thanks very much for the wonderful comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hi +degrande707 I agree you have to be personally with the equipment you use on a daily basis! I know many mastering Engineers have very strange loves of various pieces of gear that effect how they master music! The same is true of all musicians we need to be really happy with our choices so we can make amazing music! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Some people like the small amounts of distortion you get from analog gear and that's fine. But distortion is a commodity item, and need not cost a lot. If the analog gear is very high quality, and not colored, then it should be audibly the same or very close to digital summing. So to my way of thinking, mixing OTB is not worth the expense and considerable effort
Mixers perform 3 main functions: level balancing of multiple audio streams (level controls or faders), spatial placement (panning) and summing theaudio to stereo. A summing amplifier simply sums multiple audio streams to stereo, while the DAW's mixer is used to perform the mixing functions of balancing and panning.
That's a marvellous idea! I will see if that's at all possible in the future! Obviously it's easier when we are ij commercial studios that list their gear.
As rare as “ rocking ‘oss shit” as we say in the Black Country. Great video, I’m really interested in the new Focal shapes, they are getting great reviews.
another great video - awesome. She plays great and really knows her stuff. Epic. Hey quick question - which Lewitt microphone are you referring to when talking about acoustic guitar recording with the BAE1073 MPF? Thanks Warren all the best!
Hi +Geoff Duncan Agreed!! Linda is an amazing guitarist!! Use the LCT 340 on acoustic guitar and overheads! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Great vid! All that lovely gear... It's like looking in the shop window at guitars I can't afford (bit hard). Interesting point about sound treatment; I asked you about this the other day, but I'm sure it's better to treat the room if you're recording acoustic guitar (any recorded instrument), particularly if all the recordings sound boxy no matter how many mic placements you try out. I was just wondering if you think it's a waste of time and money to get sound treatment for recording. Great guitar skills Linda! Thanks :-)
Hi +mrbsred1 Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Yes Linda's a fantastic guitar player! Agreed sound treatment is very important in areas where it's needed! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hi Steve, certain pedals have a noticeable 'tone suck', they rob your signal of high end and dimension, even when turned off. So I put them on a bypass looper - they are out of the signal chain until they're turned on. Usual suspects are wah pedals, tuners, certain kind of modulation pedals, etc. Hope that helps.
Hi Ronny George thanks very much! Yes Linda is a wonderful guitar player and a talented Producer, Engineer and Mixer! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
I have a question about external summing (never tried it). So, you send two channels from your DAW to a summing mixer. That does its "magic", and outputs again 2 separate channels, which you route back to your interface and... what then? Do you record them back to your DAW? I mean, does it "hurt" to let the DAW to sum the signals from the mixer again to make a stereo mix? :) Or did I miss the point of what you do totally? :)
Hi apinakapinastorba thanks for the great question. Yes often I have just sent the stereo mix through the line amp of a 1073 Mic Pre like the pair that Linda has and yes it does go back to the DAW. The 1073 helps glue it together nicely, I wouldn't do it on every mix but it's a great thing to do occasionally. Also if you have a summing mixer you can send individual tracks out to the summing mixer and then bounce them back together to add some additional warmth and width. Thanks very much for the wonderful comment! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Was Linda's rig overloading the camera mic as there seemed to be an unpleasant distortion in places, shame as I bet that board sounded awesome in the room :)
Hi +Matt Eady Yes you are correct! We only had a camera mic on this video so we echo issues and just general bad audio issues, now of course we use lapel mics! Haha Finally! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
+Produce Like A Pro - Ah cool, many thanks Warren, I was hoping it was the camera and not Linda's pedals :) great visit, you guys should def collaborate on a project :)
Hi +Matt Eady Yes Linda is awesome! I look forward to doing another video with her again soon!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Warrem please help me Now iv been using Focusrite sound card wich is great but I wanted to upgrade to what linda is using the Apollo 16 because I need 16 inputs at once but iv been researching on the Apollo and it has no mic pres or any sorts of inputs or outputs but it has DSUB connections so please tell what kind of gear do I habe to attach to the apollo to get 16 Xlr inputs for my mics and everything. iv been following your mixing tips and its been a grwar help too me dude
Hi +Luke William Yes you will need to pick up some great mic pres to get the best out of this unit! It really depends on your budget! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hi +Douglas Harris That's a great question! I hope Linda can answer! Thanks very much I really appreciate your comment! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
I've got a Hafler power amp and a Bryston splitter, the NS10s and Auratones are connected there and I can switch between the two. Just using the NS10s and Auratones for checking, the Focals are my main speakers. The Events are to hold up the NS10s :>)

I have to chuckle and rewatch this every time I see that episode of "The Office" with Linda in it. Thanks for another great studio tour, Warren.
Ha! A fun day...can't believe I got to meet James Spader...I'm a "Blacklist" fan:>)
:)
I have to watch that now Steve!
I didn't know you were on the Office Linda!
Excellent!! Nice to see the ladies represented. :) Another winner! Love these.
We always feature the best in the business!

Yes! Wonderful!
Warren your fantastic. your hybrid mixing videos changed my studio.
I've learned so much from Warren and his Produce Like A Pro series!
Wow! Thank you!
That is a the biggest compliment I've ever had Linda!!
Moça! eu sou um amante das cordas! preciso te falar uma coisa: você é simplesmente uma guitarrista fantástica, seu jeito de tocar é simplesmente maravilhoso! parabéns pelo seu talento! muita saúde e muito som na caixa
Very enjoyable interview, great to see how different approaches are taken by artists and the unfamiliar equipment that is used. All good!

Thanks, but it's changed a lot:>) My pedal survivor rate is a little....low!
I agree 100%!
Haha that's cool Linda!
Got to to see her guitars!!! thanks for the tour!
Hi +Michael Sean Harrell Thank you!! Happy New Year! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Working with women producers is so cool!!!
Hi Allen, Linda is one of the best in business!
My ears perked up @ 16:14 because it sounded like Roxy Music's "Amazona". Cool studio and great guitarist.
Hi Warren...Started watching em videos...really helpful...lots of advice...this lady got a nice setup...love & respect from Mauritius Island
Hi +Kash Meer Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Yes Linda's set up is great! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
very nice recording studio Linda I see you take pride in your equipment I love that
Hi +Brian Green Yes it's a great studio! Linda rules! Have a marvellous time recoding and mixing, many thanks Warren
Warren you are a gentleman
You're very kind!
Love these. Really demystifies the pros' setups.

Hi Nemanja Lazic thanks very much! Thanks very much for the wonderful comment! I really appreciate it. Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Gotta try running my mix through my hardware BAE 1073s now.
Yes! Wonderful idea!
Awesome interview , I learned a bunch from this sit down
Hi +Morana st.hilaire Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Great gear and it sounds like she knows how to use it!!
Absolutely!!
So cool to see female producers especially ones who know what they are taking about
We always focus on the best in the business!
I’m trying to learn how to record guitar, vocals, possibly harp and second vocals. Much of this is way over my head, but so interesting. I just got an audio interface and am looking at surface controllers, amazed to see that Linda is using a trackball instead. I use a Wacom tablet for photoshop, and wonder if it could also be used as a controller for a DAW.
Thanks ever so much Elle! I am glad to be able to showcase Linda, she’s so incredibly talented!!
Interesting to hear a lot of the older recordings was done in a house without acoustic treatment and now these days recording at home is common.
Hi blood lord yes indeed, so many great albums were not made in traditional studios! Thanks very much for the wonderful comment! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hi earth thanks for the comment. As I was saying above most mixing rooms are not flat at all, at least not overly.

earth It's not misleading because that has nothing to do with recording (Which is the subject),but only post production. Good head phones also eliminates a problem with a room not treated.
Hi earth that's a fantastic song! Wonderful band! Actually I did their second album 'Make Up The Breakdown'. Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
What a great guitarist!!
Yes, Linda is an amazing guitarist!
,great interview shows creativity trumps budget
Agreed 100%!
Lovely work Warren,Just a heads up that possibly the camera mike had a fit trying to pick up her guitar tone's..Top end breaking up!!No biggie as I am thoroughly enjoying your subscription.Just thought id give you the heads up!!Peace bro and love your work!!Have a listen and please tell me its not my end!!Cheers!!
Yes! We weren't expecting that! However, it was pretty darn Rock!
I love this I want yo just take this setup in put in my house I adore the desk
Hi Kisha Shider haha! Yes it's a great set up! Have a marvelous time recording! Many thanks Warren
Hi Warren, I was super surprised to hear that you strap pultecs across your master buss. Considering inductor style eq changes phase relationships I would have thought you might have gone for maag audio eq4 or their older models the nightpro eq. ect. Nonetheless your mixes sound amazing...showing that whatever it takes to get there right? This series is amazing!! so much fun!
Interesting statement! I'm sure you're probably aware Pultecs were largely used in Mastering Studios where phase was very important! I'm going to text one of the guys from Pultec now to get an answer for you!
Warren needs to watch "That Pedal Show" :)
I have! I was on an episode!
Hello I love watching videos home studio, productions, my name is nivaldo chocolate I am from Brazil,
I think it's a spectacular job for you.
Thanks ever so much!
LOVE IS IN THE AIR!
Awesome sauce. Enjoyed watching!
Hi Matt Lempert Thanks very much for the wonderful comment! Thanks for watching and sharing, I really appreciate it! Have a marvelous time recording! Many thanks Warren
SICK! Linda's pedal board is EPIC!
Hi Mat Melton yes it's a great collection of pedals and she know how to use them. Thanks very much for the wonderful comment! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
nice setup i would like to see more of her fx racks unit
Hi Pielo Deejaay I'm planning on doing another video with Linda as soon as we can! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
marriage is not for guys like me , but i would marry her :) bcs she's so into music and she can play like guitar goddess :) another diamond episode ... great work, as always ... r e s p e c t !
Cannot tell you how great your vids are. It's like a master class. I've learned so much. And these where you visit others setups and their gear and just being a fly in the wall of the conversations is really awesome.
One question. What is summing?
Hi funkyboss007 thanks for the kind words! Summing when you take two or more tracks and send them to the same output, does that make sense? Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
That reminds me of when I used to bounce multiple tracks down to a single track on my old four track. I know it's not the same but is that the right concept?
But doesn't that mean you have one eq and level etc to mix all those summed channels with? I guess I'm not sure why you would use summing.
Hi Emily Wheeler great question! It's if you have multiple sounds that create one sound, such as snare top, snare bottom or two heavy guitars summed to one. Or even a full drum kit summed to a stereo aux. Does that help? Thanks very much for your question, I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Exactly...and I think when Warren and I were discussing it we were specifically talking about using an external summing box as opposed to the internal summing of the DAW. There's endless sees of information about the Pro Tools summing bus (any DAW's) and your ears will tell you which way you need to go. I was an early adopter of external summing, and I still use it today.
Perfect for Second Life musicians who use their in home studio to practice with a live audience all the time.
that's some great guitar playing
Yes, Linda is a wonderful guitarist!
I always wonder what the difference is between the analog section of the Dangerous Music summing boxes (which don't allow you to control anything) and a Mackie mixer, for instance. I have an old Mackie 8 bus (24x8) and was thinking of trying it for summing - can anyone explain what's so good about the analog section of the dangerous music summing boxes? Thanks in advance.
Hi Jed Wunderli great question! I would say that the Dangerous Summing box with transformers in it will be a lot warmer sounding than the Mackie, however I would definitely try the Mackie, I'd be intrigued to see how it sounded! Let me know! Thanks very much for the wonderful comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Cool interview, cool guitarist, cool studio, cool host, cool pedals... EVERYTHING WAS COOL!!
Can you give a comment on the Event 20/20s. I have them and I love them a lot but would like to hear you opinion on them.
Keep cool!!
Sumbi
HI +Sumbi Humbane Aw shucks!!! Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
That was so cool you guys!! Really enjoyed it!! What are the "secret pedals"????
Hi Chad Bailey that's a great question! I will have to ask Linda next time we film! Thanks very much for the wonderful comment! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
My how things have Changed All that Gear Wow
She's got a great studio and she's a good player. She mentioned she wanted to get an Apogee - UAD just came out with an upgraded Apollo 8 with better converters and such and I also noticed she has the Avid converters (HD system, I think?) Would she not use the Avid / Digidesign stuff? I want to see more of her analog gear as well. Do a 2nd and 3rd part, please. Let's hear some of her tracks. :) Thanks, Warren and Linda.
Thanks Jed Wunderli! Yes Linda is a fantastic player! Yes we are definitely going to do more videos, Linda is a really talented Producer, Multi Instrumentalist, Engineer and Mixer so we are going to show one of her sessions next time. Thanks very much for the wonderful comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hi +degrande707 I agree you have to be personally with the equipment you use on a daily basis! I know many mastering Engineers have very strange loves of various pieces of gear that effect how they master music! The same is true of all musicians we need to be really happy with our choices so we can make amazing music! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
dope. I have an apollo quad.
Yes, wonderful Beau!
Really inspiring. Thanks!
Thanks ever so much!! I really appreciate it
A description of summing would be great. Thanks..
Hi +Jim McDowell Great idea!! Happy New Year! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Some people like the small amounts of distortion you get from analog gear and that's fine. But distortion is a commodity item, and need not cost a lot. If the analog gear is very high quality, and not colored, then it should be audibly the same or very close to digital summing. So to my way of thinking, mixing OTB is not worth the expense and considerable effort
Mixers perform 3 main functions: level balancing of multiple audio streams (level controls or faders), spatial placement (panning) and summing theaudio to stereo. A summing amplifier simply sums multiple audio streams to stereo, while the DAW's mixer is used to perform the mixing functions of balancing and panning.
Great stuff, thanks!
Hi Marc LeBlanc thanks very much! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Linda is a boss!
Hi Vlady Veselinov yes she is!! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hi What is the possibility that you could include lists of the equipment that each studio uses in the bio? If it's not too much trouble.
That's a marvellous idea! I will see if that's at all possible in the future! Obviously it's easier when we are ij commercial studios that list their gear.
i should come test out your studio... lol
Hi +hallie bateman Haha Ask Linda! Have a marvellous time recoding and mixing, many thanks Warren
warren this hat is so cool! you should try again ;)
Haha hiding bad hair!
As rare as “ rocking ‘oss shit” as we say in the Black Country. Great video, I’m really interested in the new Focal shapes, they are getting great reviews.
Hi Luke, I just got to hear the new Focal's, wow! They were amazing!
Please marry me!! No, kidding aside. It's so cool to see women who are really talented engineers, mixers and producers :)
Hi +Probus Excogitatoris Yes Linda Rules!! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
oh to be trapped in a control room with this fine gal. #daydreamin #makinmusictogetherwinkwink
... and players!
Love to see someone who doesn't have a perfectly treated room.
Indeed! Most people I know work in less than perfect situations, however they are able to create amazing music

another great video - awesome. She plays great and really knows her stuff. Epic. Hey quick question - which Lewitt microphone are you referring to when talking about acoustic guitar recording with the BAE1073 MPF? Thanks Warren all the best!
Hi +Geoff Duncan Agreed!! Linda is an amazing guitarist!! Use the LCT 340 on acoustic guitar and overheads! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
very interesting THX...Greets Mikel.
Thanks Mikel Hansel I really appreciate it! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Great vid! All that lovely gear... It's like looking in the shop window at guitars I can't afford (bit hard). Interesting point about sound treatment; I asked you about this the other day, but I'm sure it's better to treat the room if you're recording acoustic guitar (any recorded instrument), particularly if all the recordings sound boxy no matter how many mic placements you try out. I was just wondering if you think it's a waste of time and money to get sound treatment for recording. Great guitar skills Linda! Thanks :-)
Hi +mrbsred1 Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Yes Linda's a fantastic guitar player! Agreed sound treatment is very important in areas where it's needed! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Focal speakers are fantastic, high end audiophile speakers.. I use them in my car and home audio speakers and nothing comes close
Hi +P.o.B pedals Thanks for your insight! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Very cool studio id like it ;)
Hi ***** yes Linda's studio is fantastic! Thanks very much for the comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Nice setup :) But i dont see any acustic panel treatment, why :) ?
Basic question: Linda mentioned keeping certain pedals out of the chain. How exactly does that work and still get the effect sound?
Hi Steve, certain pedals have a noticeable 'tone suck', they rob your signal of high end and dimension, even when turned off. So I put them on a bypass looper - they are out of the signal chain until they're turned on. Usual suspects are wah pedals, tuners, certain kind of modulation pedals, etc. Hope that helps.
@@lindataylormusic fantastic answer!!
@@lindataylormusic fantastic answer!!
That was an awesome video...
Hi Ronny George thanks very much! Yes Linda is a wonderful guitar player and a talented Producer, Engineer and Mixer! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Produce Like A Pro Yeah, she has nice gear in her studio, she can play very well and the vibe of the video overall was really fun.
Agreed Ronny George! Linda Rules! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
When Barber turned on we needed a limiter.. oh and the next one also went thru the roof.. damn she can play the guitar :o
Wtf shes got the groove - as usual very interesting! Thanks Warren
Hi Hannes, so glad you enjoyed the video! Yes Linda rules!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Nice!
Thanks ***** Thanks very much for the wonderful comment! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Dang, her setup is great, but man she just cant get a bad guitar tone if she tried! Awesome video.
Thanks ever so much Isaiah!
I have a question about external summing (never tried it). So, you send two channels from your DAW to a summing mixer. That does its "magic", and outputs again 2 separate channels, which you route back to your interface and... what then? Do you record them back to your DAW? I mean, does it "hurt" to let the DAW to sum the signals from the mixer again to make a stereo mix? :) Or did I miss the point of what you do totally? :)
Hi apinakapinastorba thanks for the great question. Yes often I have just sent the stereo mix through the line amp of a 1073 Mic Pre like the pair that Linda has and yes it does go back to the DAW. The 1073 helps glue it together nicely, I wouldn't do it on every mix but it's a great thing to do occasionally. Also if you have a summing mixer you can send individual tracks out to the summing mixer and then bounce them back together to add some additional warmth and width. Thanks very much for the wonderful comment! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Produce Like A Pro Thanks man :)
You're welcome apinakapinastorba! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Was Linda's rig overloading the camera mic as there seemed to be an unpleasant distortion in places, shame as I bet that board sounded awesome in the room :)
Hi +Matt Eady Yes you are correct! We only had a camera mic on this video so we echo issues and just general bad audio issues, now of course we use lapel mics! Haha Finally! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
+Produce Like A Pro - Ah cool, many thanks Warren, I was hoping it was the camera and not Linda's pedals :) great visit, you guys should def collaborate on a project :)
Hi +Matt Eady Yes Linda is awesome! I look forward to doing another video with her again soon!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
beautiful interview
Wonderful!! Thanks very much!
What happens with the guitar sound after BOOST effect? Is that light distortion sound normal or am I hearing it wrong?
Warrem please help me
Now iv been using Focusrite sound card wich is great but I wanted to upgrade to what linda is using the Apollo 16 because I need 16 inputs at once but iv been researching on the Apollo and it has no mic pres or any sorts of inputs or outputs but it has DSUB connections so please tell what kind of gear do I habe to attach to the apollo to get 16 Xlr inputs for my mics and everything. iv been following your mixing tips and its been a grwar help too me dude
Hi +Luke William Yes you will need to pick up some great mic pres to get the best out of this unit! It really depends on your budget! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Focals CMS 65 $895 each new.. Focal Solo Be $1250 each new.. Focal Twins6 Be $1895 each new.. Trio6 $2795 each new..
Hi +D&R Music Recordings Thanks for sharing that information! Happy New Year! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
What kind of trackball is she using? Want to get one but it's hard to decide with so many choices and a gigantic price range.
Hi +mjchmara1 Great question! That's a great Linda question! haha Linda? Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hey Warren, it's the Kensington Expert Trackball Mouse...I don't use a control surface so it's a bit nicer to my wrist.
How do you connect 3 studio monitors to the dangerous d-box?
Hi +Douglas Harris That's a great question! I hope Linda can answer! Thanks very much I really appreciate your comment! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
I've got a Hafler power amp and a Bryston splitter, the NS10s and Auratones are connected there and I can switch between the two. Just using the NS10s and Auratones for checking, the Focals are my main speakers. The Events are to hold up the NS10s :>)
