I just love listening to someone who has so much passion in their work. Whether you are a plumber, doctor or artist, I just love when people find their calling and make a living doing what they love. I think only a small percentage fit into this category. Most work to pay the bills, the lucky few pay the bills and then some, but Monday morning are great mornings. Been an SP fan since 1989
as a life-long fan of skinny puppy who also dabbles in music production, i just gotta tell you that it's super cool to be able to look behind the curtain
You have no idea how good these videos are, do you? So educational and unique. To get to learn a top producer’s secrets is just priceless. Keep’em coming!
As someone who has been serious inspired by Skinny Puppy to take up writing industrial music in my youth, these walkthroughs are incredibly insightful to us producers. Thank you for showing us these techniques!
Skinny Puppy is one of my favorite band, and you remarkably filled in those gaps and answered those questions that I would like to ask about their mixes. Thanks Ken!
Thanks to Rick Beato for lighting up a deeper understanding of the music I enjoy. His videos helped underscore how amazing your breakdown of this song is. I love it. Thank you
This is SUCH an awesome point @bobproxmire3637, I really appreciate your reference to Rick. He absolutely opened the door on our music making world, and definitely paved the way for so many of us. I honestly LOVE Rick B's content...particularly his rants 🤟🏻😆. Thanks for sharing here bob, I appreciate it big time 💥🙏🏻 Stay safe! -hw
I've listened to your mixes for thirty years, Mr. Marshall. Your work, together with your friends, has helped to shape my entire outlook on music, art, and expression. Just wanted to say thanks. p/s: this video was delightful.
JammyPants, you just put a HuGe smile on my face, thank you for such kind words my friend. I hope you know how much you inspire me to make more of these...many more ;-)) I appreciate you sharing Jammy, thank you and cheers!!! -hw
I mean seriously..this video in particular is the digital equivalent of learning a riff from your idols. I'm not going to be able to leave my studio!! Yay!
Definitely one of my favorites since I first heard them in the mid 80s. I was on a diet of 4AD musicians (Cocteau Twins, etc) and punk. Then my older next door neighbor introduced me to these cats. FUUUUUUUUUCK.... Them, along with Johnny Cash and Frank Zappa or about my favorite bands\musicians. It's weird, but I do not listen to my favorite bands a lot. Lol. I guess I treat myself to them every once in a while. I just got a new subwoofer yesterday. I'm definitely going to have to put some SP on after I get off work. Yo Yo Scrape should rattle the windows and piss off my neighbors quite nicely. 😁
PLEASE Do more Skinny Puppy related videos this is the first time a see someone paying so much attention in great quality to Skinny Puppy and their genius production it's really interesting and inspirational for those of us who are actually thinking about making music
Thank you HiWatt! You continue to provide the most inspiring and positive education! And always relevant to my engineering goals. Nivek's Vocals are by far the finest example of groundbreaking sonic territory.
I like how the compression makes the vocal’s attack so razor-sharp, as he’s singing the words “knife” and “slice.” It goes a step beyond just telling something, it lets the listener hear/feel that in a tacit way.
So so awesome! Thank you! Skinny Puppy is my favorite band so any insight into the mixing/production means the world to me. This is now my favorite video on the internet. I'm dead serious.
My love for the bands music brought me here. Completely ignorant to much of the tech language, but did not stop my complete enjoyment in this sneak peak of some of the magic behind the scenes. So many layers of brilliant aural sculpting. Your enthusiasm in making this art matches my enthusiasm in listening.Thank you for sharing!
I'm constantly searching YT for rare production insights like this. Amazing, dude. This genre is so overlooked and there's so much to discover from pros.
S.P. is my fave industrial band besides Ministry. Ohgr's vox are absolutely amazing. It's like having a horror movie monster screaming into my soul, and I love it.
Thanks for the video Ken! That was fun and educational! = ) I would love, l.o.v.e., LOVE to see you do a (looooong 😁) video on the production of Last Rights. To me Last Rights is their Magnum Opus and the most obscure to my mind when it comes to production. It just sounds so densely packed with layers, while still sounding huge and the vocals bob in and out of the storm perfectly, sometimes blending with the noise, other times rising above it, or getting sucked under into the maelstrom... I would love to know more about how it all was done, anything you did and / or remember. That album has been a huge inspiration for (parts) of my own music, but moreover it's been always been a terribly powerful emotional marker for me. Thank you for your part in creating that album (and all the other ones - I own most if not all)! Have a great Sunday!
I've been a fan of Skinny Puppy for over 20 years and I've been playing around with audio production as a hobby for almost as long. I just discovered this channel. What a cool surprise.
Wow! Thanks a lot for taking the time to put this video together! It was tremendously inspirational, and an incredible perspective on one of my favourite bands.
My own jaw line aches from all his smiling. Ken must be the coolest person to be next with at a party. Thanks for this session Ken. It's a very cool song and very nice to see how some of my library was created.
This is one of my favorite Skinny Puppy songs because there are so many layers to it. Breaking it down piece by piece has helped me understand why I love it so much. I definitely want to see more videos like this!
Thank you Tristan, we’re definitely gonna be digging into the archives cause it’s way too much fun ;-)) Thanks for sharing, hope your day is large! Cheers, -hw
This was amazing. Thanks for posting this. Skinny Puppy has been one of my all time favorite bands to listen and to hear it break down like this was fantastic
This is pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. A perfect choice when it comes to the song. Showing the breakdown of something I'm so familiar with helps a lot. Thanks!
Thank you ryan, I appreciate you sharing that my friend ;-) Stripping away parts and breaking things down is so fun! I agree, it’s especially fun when it’s a song you’re familiar with...more to come for sure my friend !!! Thanks again and be safe ;-) Cheers, -hw
Oh my god, this blew my mind & made me so happy! Breaking down THIS song, amazed me! From an educational standpoint, it gave me some ideas... I’m sure I’ll be watching this over & over again!
Your contributions to music have touched so many lives. Mine is no exception. You sir, are a true legend! Thank you so much! Thank you so much for making this channel! Thank you for all that you do! My life would not be the same if you were not around.
Man I love this. Thanks so much. Your work with Skinny Puppy is so unique and I love that you're laying out the different parts that people contributed along with your contributions. It's a really cool insight, and much appreciated :)
Skinny puppy / download change my life for the better cEvin key is one of my all-time musical idols!!! and the production you've done with them and many others is the absolute shit!...BrAp oN!!¡!🎹🎧💫💀😵✋
You are freaking AWESOME for posting this!! This is like a godsend because I've always wanted someone to post anything having to do with Skinny Puppy production and I've always wanted to learn how to get my vocal effects sounding like Ogre's. THANK YOU.
Thank you Kimberly, I appreciate your comment very much!!! Definitely gonna dig into many more layers of vocal processing for sure! I'm a big SP fan myself...this session was a lot of fun, looking forward to more! Cheers, -hw

@@tonyduncan4416 Thank you Tony, I appreciate your sharing my channel bud, that's HUgE ;-) Your comment is absolutely pure inspiration to keep sharing my friend, thanks for that! Cheers to you, -hw
Ken Marshall I’ve got a question for ya. I do all my work on iOS. It I’m getting ready to switch over to Ableton. So this will be whole new world for me. What are the must haves for vst and fx plug-ins without breaking the bank. Lol. I’m mostly do industrial music and dabble in darkwave type stuff. And I was wondering if you could maybe make a video explaining busses and sends and returns. Anyways hope all is well. Keep up the great vids!
I loved every second of this. Also it really boosts my confidence, just seeing that even professional-level production like you've achieved with Skinny Puppy is all familiar concepts, just done very creatively. Very inspiring!
Thank you for sharing JT, and you’re absolutely right!!! I’ve used particular effects or tools for literally years before someone comes along and exposes something new or just maybe different, and it’s like I rediscover the tool all over again! I really appreciate your comment JT, makes me smile big time ;-)). Cheers, -hw
Thank you Mission Control, that’s very kind of you ;-) I’m looking forward to more analysis my friend...it really is fun opening these sessions and making new ones ;-)) Cheers to you, happy Saturday! -hw

You have no idea how good these videos are, do you? So educational and unique. To get to learn a top producer’s secrets is just priceless. Keep’em coming!
Seriously! This is a golden experience. I'm inspired all over again

SP is my all time favorite band. Thank you for this awesome insight into the engineering / additional production process. Awesome!
Definitely one of my favorites since I first heard them in the mid 80s. I was on a diet of 4AD musicians (Cocteau Twins, etc) and punk. Then my older next door neighbor introduced me to these cats. FUUUUUUUUUCK....

why this has so little views?
it's not only for SP fans but also for audio engineers.
respect Ken!
Perfect ! So cool of you to share your experiences and knowledge !!! Thks!
I love that the protools file name is Booty For Ken

Assimilate is favorite.
Ritalin brings back so many memories. I remember buying it in the 90s.
Why didn't I know this channel existed before
Glad I just found your channel, Skinny Puppy is one of my all time favorite bands, Cheers!
I thought Skinny Puppy was long gone! So glad this popped up on recommendations. I always loved their vocals. This band got me through high school!
thanx great to get a face and a voice to the name. Cool to hear some stories from the studios and how things where made.
Amazing insight. Thanks, Ken!
Thanks Ken! Loved the clip, and terrific track to dissect!
Thanks or sharing johan, I appreciate it my friend! More dissections for sure, they’re a total blast ;-)) Cheers, -hw
This is awesome, was just listening to Back And Forth 3 and 4, I wouldn't complain if you did more Skinny Puppy stuff. Weapon is a tip top tier album!
Best song off that album!
Thank you so much for the insight into the production, I have been listening to Skinny Puppy since the middle of the 80s
I'm constantly searching YT for rare production insights like this. Amazing, dude. This genre is so overlooked and there's so much to discover from pros.
Thanks Thomas, I appreciate your comment very much my friend 😊🙏 I hope you’re able to apply some of these ideas to your own productions!
Be safe,

what a charming video!
Eagerly waiting for the next Skinny Puppy & Ohgr album.
This is fantastic- thanks so much for sharing
