If you could visit any professional recording studio in the world, which one would you choose and why? Please comment below!
I'd visit the one in need of hiring an extra guy, then try to convince the owner to hire me by using my secret technique: cooking some Italian delicacies!!!
I’ve never played a instrument before but I would love to tour the Fame Studios simply because of the history behind the story
British Grove Studios, I'm a massive MK fan
I'd totally go and visit The Strongroom and see where some of my all time favourite albums came to life!
Paisley Park in Minneapolis, not sure whether there is still all the gear. Was for sure one of the best studios in the world and one room was inspired by Studio 3 of Sunset Sound Studios. Cory Wong made a cool performance and recordings there about 1 year ago btw.
A lot of great producers and musicians from Mnpls, it's not just LA, NYC and Nashville!
I engineered at the Bunker studio A about 2 weeks ago for the first time, recording an octet live. Absolute world class experience. I've worked in a lot of amazing rooms but the staff at this place was phenomenal. Hats off to Nolan, our house / assistant engineer. Happy to come back anytime I get the call!
I'd love to hear something recorded here...who did you work with?
@@MikeSylvestre I worked with an ensemble that's going by "Raffi Garabedian Octet" or perhaps "Raffi Garabedian"... I don't know what his release plans are. He's an amazing composer and tenor sax player from the SF Bay Area. I'll share a link here when it comes out, and update that information! The pre-mix stuff is sounding phenomenal. I used all of the Bunker's RCA 44 mics on horns, RCA 77s, and a lot of Neumanns on everything else. We put all the horns in the big room, separated by gobos, and even at that, lots of bleed but good bleed. It's simply what you get when you have that many people tracking live. I used all Neve console pres, and a lot of outboard compression on busses (to tame saxophones, flute, etc). I couldn't be happier with what I've heard so far. :-)
@@fortressgalaxy Sounds like a really nice project, I'd love to hear it. Nothing like great musicians with great gear.
Thanks ever so much for sharing Fortress Galaxy!
I hope Warren comes with a disclaimer …’Warning! I will touch and play with all your toys!’ 😂
Haha everyone knows!
@dylans voice haha indeed!
Wow, this guy knows his gear and Warren is the only man who can keep up with his knowledge!
Thanks ever so much! It was an amazing tour!
Haha I sold them my old Lynx converters and delivered them there as they were installing that desk. Love those desks.
That's the convertors I used on the console when I owned it!
Small world!
@@aaronnevezie yessir! The place looks beautiful and has come quite a ways since my visit. Great place!
This is awesome - the studio, the warmth of the host, the conversation about the gear and the rooms - really riveting. Better than Netflix!
Thanks ever so much
I really appreciate it
Man, Warren, its gotta be hard for you going into a candy store like that and not wanting to build one at home! I could see the gear-craving sparkle in your eyes! Haha!
That place was AMAZING! Great video!
It happens all the time!
I was fortunate enough to spend a month at Power Station making an alum in the 90s. Original room across from the school can’t be duplicated
Thanks for sharing!
I had to come back to say this because I think it's a really important part of being in the recording business these days.
I'm a huge advocate of creating an environment and atmosphere which helps the artist to do their best work.
There's a moment that Aaron wants Warren to get the full experience of the piano so he opens it up and stands out of his line of sight.
It might sound stupid, but not many studio people know how to remove themselves from those moments.
It's a big deal to me.
I appreciate that very much
I love the studio tours! What a fantastic place. Nice to know your old Neve has such a great home.
Yes, very happy it ended up there!
Awesome! The Bunker is THE New York jazz studio now. I've seen many photos and short video clips, but it's nice to see a tour!
Wonderful! Yes, amazing studio! I was very impressed
Love these Tours, brilliant yet again, Thank you Warren and all!
Thanks ever so much Michael!
I have one dbx160xt with me.That's my only love. 😞.. But love those all toyses.
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
Love seeing these studios!
Thanks Mike! Me too!
Always nice to see another studio tour.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks ever so much!
Excellent studio tour! Hard to imagine the amount of work it took to even build the various rooms. Wow!
A LOT of work and love.
At first i didn't know what to think about this channel, didn't known why i was watching these video and then it click! : ...Passion! It's all it is! Bravo!
Wow! Thanks ever so much!
Wow!! What a fantastic studio! Thank you so much for the tour. Very nice :)
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks ever so much
That piano is something else. Second only perhaps to that one you showed from Songs In The Key Of Life a little while back 🙂
That timbre and resonance in that room was phenomenal
Incredible studio -- beautiful. Thanks Warren!
Thanks ever so much
Oh, man! What a space! 😍
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic! Thank you Warren! Loved it!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks ever so much
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing this beautiful studio. Looks great.
Thank you so much!
I’m always thrilled to see a Neve 80nn console for tracking. The whole range shares a signature rainbow of sound from the preamp and EQ. The best of it is a bit hidden as these two sections are interdependent in a less than obvious way. Backing off the preamp and trying to make-up the level with the EQ opens up a more modern, crisper character. Doing the inverse, the pre creates so much nice even order distortion the EQ is working with a whole new signal, subtly compressed. It took me the better part of a session to grasp this. Either way, the EQ is a very powerful musical tool, quick and easy to make one happy.
That looks like one great studio, The Bunker. Such a beautifully equipped facility, really oriented to musicians, with special instruments everywhere you look. I’m so happy to see the obvious success it has enjoyed, with a treasure chest of outboard for the old schoolers. I’ll remember this.
Note to self. If ever in Studio Mecca like this, just act nonchalant. Just incredible !
Thanks ever so much
Agreed 100%!
You mean instead of ooohing and aaaahing like a little kid in a toy shop? That'd be embarrassing, right? Which is to say that this would be me all the way. ;O)
Thank you!
That place is a thing of beauty!
Agreed 100%!
This is the coolest studio in NYC. Best walkthrough yet Warren!
Thanks ever so much! Really glad you enjoyed it
Waoh what an awesome Studio. The collection of gear is amazing. Great video, thanks very much.
Thanks ever so much Joey
This appeared like such a cool vibe. I enjoyed every aspect of the discussion. It was interesting to hear the fact records have been done purely on those Abbey rd REDD style preamps - shows the importance of the preamp and the space it is being recorded. I enjoyed the discussion on Eventide too. What a beautiful space all together.
OMG,what an amazing Studio.
Yes! Truly wonderful!
I love these videos so much!
Thanks ever so much
Simply amazing!!!
Thanks ever so much
Such a great studio. Plus the home of Nerve - what a band!
Marvellous! Thanks Sam!
So nice to see you sit at the Steinway, I smiled with joy for you. You traveled 2800 miles to meet someone who thinks like you do, and shares some insight. Ooh, what’s this, you ask. I can’t tell you how happy I am for you. Great job Warren, I’m so thumbing this up.
The Bunker have one of the coolest Instagram accounts, BTW. Not just pics but a wealth of background knowledge, niche facts and esoteric truths in each post.
Great sounds great audio. Studio.
Great interview.
Thanks ever so much Peter
Man, the GEAR! Just incredible.
Thanks ever so much Chris!
Thanks Chris!!
What a kind man, excellent studio !
Thanks ever so much
Very cool studio. Impressive.
New York seems to be a better place for you than LA, because this city suits you and your mood.
Love these series of videos
Really looking forward to going back for AES this year!
Would love to see BOP studios returned to all its glory in South Africa!
What a great walkaround. Cheers Warren!
Thanks ever so much
Got to love Warren!
Thanks ever so much
Mmmmh excellent - I am also in my Bunker - your stuff is so nice…. Enjoying your tour so much….
I loved working there a few years ago!
Marvellous! Thanks for sharing
The big coffee drink following the “Oh, ATC’s” comment at 24:10 was super rock star Warren!!! You never disappoint… 🎉🎼🏅
Great video!
Thanks ever so much
Oh wow! What an amazing place.. I wish I could work there..
Thanks ever so much!
Beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
I follow this studio on instagram. their content and gear collection is fantastic. I knew I was gonna enjoy this video before it started.
Awesome, thank you!
I really like the studio tour videos…great work once again. Very interesting.
Proof once again that hardware gear still has an important role in producing quality music, versus just using plugins.
I’ve never seen a video of a professional studio wherein there is a computer and mouse with no hardware (would also be quite embarrassing).
I love your behing-the-scene tours.
Even though for me it's like a cloud-cuckoo-land, I feel like I'm indulging in luxury:)
Thanks ever so much!
Great Video, great interview and great studio
Thank you for watching! Great studio indeed!
Warren, thanks for an interesting tour
Glad you enjoyed it
@TheBunker 'Cheers Bro' from NZ. Great video!
Thanks ever so much!
Mamma mia what a studio!!! 😂
Agreed! Wonderful
Not surprise he mentioned powerstation NE. Got a chance to have a few classes there during my recording degree. Amazing facility, as is this one.
Tunable Theremin Keyboard-now that's sicc! 🙂
Thanks ever so much
Well, when I thought I couldn't love the channel more you throw in a Blackadder reference. Perfect.
Thanks ever so much! LOVE Blackadder! I’m fact I’m going to put it on in the background now while I answer questions! Ha
@@Producelikeapro ". . . with many a cunning plan. . . " It goes without saying that my friends and I were the nerdiest kids in Texas in the late 80s/early 90s.
@@swssfms marvellous! Haha
WoW great Place! i like it :)
Thanks ever so much
I think the phrase rhymes with ‘clucking bell’…. Great studio tour, thanks.
Hahah nice!
Excelente
Thank you!
yeah!! im a huge jojo mayer fan, and john davis (plays bass on nerve), and aaron nevezie (sound enginer for the band), own the bunker i always wanted to take a look to this place, so thanks!!!
Thank you so much for watching! It's really important to me that you shared that.
@@ProducelikeaproI'm from Uruguay, and I could never take a look to places like this, so really thanks a lot for showing this.
❤ studio tours 😊 but my credit card loves it more 😢 gear addicts ✌🏽
Thanks ever so much! I agree 100% the studio is amazing
Warren, I watch many of your videos which I really enjoy and have learned so much, my DAW is Reaper, but that's not why I'm here, I have just bought the Presonus Ar16c desk with the integrated SD record function, and honestly I was blown away by how good it records on the fly,
You being so up there with sound and recording, I am hoping to get some clear solid advice on this Desk for once and for all, reading reviews on the Web you don't know what to believe, I have 30 days make up my mind time to keep or send back,
It this a good desk for live situation, if not what would you recommend, I really need to find truthful answers here,
I'm told Zoom L20 or Tascam model 24 also or Dynacord Cms 1000 V3, right now though I recorded my first album on my presonus no need for reaching into reaper, well its seems as thought the SD recording was a little low in volume, but sound was crystal,
is the presonus a good buy or will I ditch it, please please advise, thanks in advance 👍
Awesome studio.
I would've wanted you to have a listen to those Northwards rooms just to see your reaction, though! I would've been quite interesting :)
Just two lads nerding out about equipment.
Haha exactly
i gon old martin at a vendors market with a cracked neck and it also sounded amazing. lots of charactor. i sold it to a country band in kentucky for cheap to pass on the use of it
Warren, have you ever done a video on proper grounding (of a house, etc.) for studio building? Also, I'm looking at buying additional 57's. Are the Unidynes better than new 57's? If so, are new transformerless 57's as good as the old 57's?
Not a bad set up they've got there 😏👍
Great old Neve you had. Nice to see it still in service. Amazing Stein they've got!. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if the front corners of the piano are rounded it's a Hamberg model.....and if they're squared off it's a NY model ?.
I’m not 100% sure. Will ask our piano tech.
This is awesome Warren! Thanks!
Question: re powering NS-10s, I got the Stewart pro reference 500 from Manny (because of what I saw when you interviewed him). It doesn't seem loud enough, but I'm running out of the presonus audiobox 96 USB interface.
I've got a long way to go to get to a professional level, but any thoughts on this?
Great episode!!!
Thanks ever so much Loren
@@Producelikeapro No problem, thank you Warren.
I spot a Bryce Gonzales compressor!
Marvellous!
Scott Hull still has Masterdisk, near me in Peekskill
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
BEAYTIFUL!!!!!!
I wonder why you sold it!!
I own a few jazzrecords that were recorded at the Bunker. They sound amazing! Can a studio like this create a signature sound?
Which are some of your favourite records from Bunker?
"You can play a fifth and it doesn't get muddy" - Warren: Plays n octave "aah"
Haha whatever works
@@Producelikeapro Love it. Thanks ever so much for your content!! Hope you have a marvellous year!
@@nupiano haha thanks ever so much!
I’d love to know some of the commercials of how they built up the studio fr where they started.
I am an amateur and for religious reasons I would love to visit Abbey Road studios. Maybe now it's possible just paying a ticket. Warren, it could be a nice vid for you too...
I love these videos, my dream 🤤
Thanks ever so much
YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THERE'S STILL A STUDIO WITH A NEVE CARKEYS I'M ON IT !
Wellspring Sound in Acton, MA
Marvellous!
Warren, I would love it sometime if you could talk Jeff Lynne into an interview about production. Give it a try!
That would be amazing
@@Producelikeapro Do give him a try.
@@Producelikeapro Steve Jay, his engineer would be great too.
@@simply3141592654 do you know either of them?
@@Producelikeapro No, unfortunately.
Which radar converters do you use? What do you record at 48 96khz ?
I wish you had talked a bit more about that M400.
i didnt know that was your neve !!! didn't they use that same console to record Tighten Up by The Black Keys ???
Very likely!
Actually Tighten Up was our old Auditronics 501
@@aaronnevezie oh cool ! glad to know that info! thank u so much
Abbey road ofc, as this is the first recording studio that i remember learning about when i was a kid. Question any hard hitters that have recorded here at Bunker?
the whoie last jazz wave recorded here, mark guiliana, donny mccaslin, janek gwizdala, also i think that joshua redman, brian blade, and brad melhdau
👀.... lips sealed. There are also some great indie heavy hitters recorded here at Bunker!
@@FernandoCuadro that's amazing! Thanks for sharing!
That looks familiar. Was that in Swinghouse?
Yes! It was! I hope you’re well my friend
🎼👍👍👍🎼
Thanks ever so much
can i come and sit in on some sessions? Looks like a fun place if you're into production.
the first 'real studio' i ever worked in
Wonderful! Thanks ever so much for sharing!
Hey guys, on 1:32 there is a round chair (left Warrens hand) which I've seen in a lot of studios... Anyone knows the name of it???
Typically they are Herman Miller chairs!
@@Producelikeapro exactly, thank you very much!
A legal aileen !
Hey Warren... Sorry if you answered this a million times before but... Why did you sell the Neve?
I had four studios at that time. In one space I had a 20 channel API, the Neve 8058, in another I had a Neve BCM and then in Laurel Canyon I had the SSL and the CADAC.
@@Producelikeapro WOW!! Tough choices!
@@allpdmusic yes! It was!
Hi Warren. What makes a studio "Swedish"? I'm from Sweden, and we have studios of all designs, shapes and types here. I've never heard the term "Swedish studio" before. It would be nice to know what characteristics make a studio "Swedish".
Interesting, that seems like quite an obvious thing to us outside of Sweden given the history of world class studios in Sweden. When ABBA built Polar Studios in the late ‘’70s it became one of the dominant studios in the world, Led Zeppelin for instance recorded there. It’s spacious design with a lot of beautiful light coloured wood (presumably pine?) was very striking. Maybe you don’t know of Polar or it’s history?
The point is that a lot of ‘80s studios built around the world took that design and hence it’s influence became huge and often name checked.
@@Producelikeapro That's the great thing with TH-cam. You learn something new every day.
Pity though, that I prefer a dimly lit control room / studio. What's the opposite if a "Swedish Studio" design? :)
@@svenisaksson3970 glad to be able to help!
@@svenisaksson3970 not sure what the opposite would be?
:)
Thanks Audrey
Hi! Why would you change a Neve 8058 for a SSL 4000?
I didn’t. I owned the SSL, API, CADAC, Neve 8058 and BCM10 all at the same time. I had four studios at one time
@@Producelikeapro Oh my Lord! (Lol). I mean, the one you kept at home is the SSL... do you like it better than the Neve? (Happy 2023 btw!)
@@preciseaudioblog The SSL is more for mixing than tracking, while the Neve is the opposite. I don't see Warren tracking that much at his studio.
@@drdelewded I’ve heard that a lot. Despite that, I don’t think the SSL gives you the depth of the Neve imho. Cheers!
@@preciseaudioblog Each channel on the SSL has, Gate/expander, compression, 3 band EQ and filters... Also its inline with a mini fader That's why its a mix console.. That and the historic fact about it having total recall and VCA Automation...(Many ways around that now) The EQs and pres in the NEVE are great for tracking
I can't imagine how many $$$ they have invested in that place!
Yeah, I was (again) breaking one sweat after the other while watching the clip. And here I am starving myself to death just to afford a simple 8-channel control surface... ;O)
Hi Mike, it's many years of work, doing sessions, buying gear, selling gear, upgrading! That's the way it always goes!
MASK ALERT.
LOL
That´s half a forest in that place 🪵
