Part 2 of my in-depth "Geek Talk" interview with Legendary Mix Engineer and Producer Dave Bascombe.
Loved it
I've watched 4 of these in a row (started with the 2 MFTM episodes), luckily I still have one more... amazing stuff, seriously. Thanks for making it. :)
You can tell he's a real enthusiast.
Indeed !! VG:-)
Thanks for bringing such inspirational artists !
You are very welcome James !! VG :-)
My God, Mr. Bascombe talks fast... ;-) Great videos Mr. Vaughn George, nice to have you back.
Thank you Kenn!! VG :-)
Yeah, it's a big challenge to understand him for a non-native speaker like me. Even the auto-generated subtitles loses the thread many times... :(
Such an interesting guest ... I really think Music For The Masses was their first serious album, which obviously started the greatest period of their work ... I'll never forget the first time I played it ... Was an original Vinyl record prob 6 years ago (Australian pressing) ... The way the instruments came in on Never Let Me Down, it really heralded something for me, it was very spacey and evocative, vocals magnificent, I loved these inaudible Gahan backing vocals as the song crescendos ... Its a great symphonic work. Thanks for the interview..
My friend you are very welcome !! VG:-)
Yes finally part two! I love it !
All the other Depeche-producers like Gareth Jones, Daniel Miller and Flood got their own page on the english wikipedia. But not Bascombe. Weird. He seems to be pretty anonymous.
Very interesting. Thank you Vaughn.
Fantastic set of interviews, bru, with someone who was really enthused with chatting to you which is always a bonus! 👍
Thanks again vaughn🙏
I miss that "old school", the music,finding new sounds, thanks for this kind of people that makes me happier listening good music,thanks mister bascombe.👍
This here’s the content we’ve been looking for
I totally understand what Dave is saying about the little crack that you can hear in a sound, at a potentiometer... I remember one studio session where we had a sound that came out of nowhere ("we never created that? what instrument does this whistling come from?? it sounds good!!" ..but it was impossible to reproduce it: in fact it was the cleaning lady upstairs who had vacuumed and caused a slight overload at the same time as the boiler starting: it sounded so good that we kept it). That's what makes the essence of the mix: it's ORGANIC and you have to keep it random, natural: you can't control everything.
Oh god, I envy Dave for being able to make a career out of it and work with so many cult groups.
This is great listening & it's only the appetiser for the Masses interview, Thanks Vaughn and Dave 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You are welcome Sir!! VG:-)
I could listen to Dave all day a wealth of knowledge. Great get to interview such a legend Vaughn, brilliant!🍻
This is really awesome. Dave has so much knowledge and I love listening to him. Thank you Vaughn 😊.
Anytime John!! VG:-)
Vaughn George You’re welcome Vaughn 😊
I love it! Nothing better than an interview that leads to a few unexpected twists and tangents and “Off Topic Chicken” moments.
Thank you Lauren !! VG:-)
Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention, but a lot of this stuff went over my head.
From the bottom of my heart, Vaughn. This is so inspiring... Thank you so much! Waiting for It since 1987.
You are welcome !! VG:-)
Thank all three of you for going out of your way to try and film this; a great series, Vaughn.
You are welcome Jack!! VG:-)
this guy is a super successful producer and he never lost his curiosity and love for music after all these years. Amazing to think about that... the"business" of music never burned him out. Awesome!
Fabulous ! I love it Vaughn!! MFTM was a very organic sounding album with a much more vast array of layers. Hearing it on vinyl really offers the experience in an almost 4 dimension way. This was quite a pleasure thank you again!!!
Yes! that's the next 21 minutes of isolation sorted
Glad to help!! VG:-)
Great interview Vaughn! Bascombe was the first person to help change the sonic profile of DM into a more elevated sound. MFTM is a wonderful album! Dave Bascombe isn't interviewed often, kudos to you and your team for opening the door into Bascombe's world. Continuing on from Gareth Jones' great work, DM needed a new direction, and DB was a great selection for that project (MFTM)...especially for the late 80s. Any chance you can interview Flood next? that would be terrific!! All best wishes from the USA!!
PhilSociety hello and thank you for your kind words !! I’d love to interview Flood !! VG😎👍🎹
@@VaughnGeorge or Gareth Jones for that matter!
I really enjoy the "geek talk" Thank you for taking the time to add this backstory. The mixing to vinyl subject is a real eye opener on how things used to be. How refreshing it is to hear Dave say he liked to use Garageband for a demo
Great so far... looking forward to MFTM & DM specific info!
Enjoying every second! Thanks!
You are welcome Magnus!! VG:-)
Loving these, Vaughn, with all the detail and reminiscing! Keep them coming :)
Tracy Johnson thank you lovely xx
Nice one VG
Thank you Karl!! VG:-)
Brilliant stuff and very interesting.
Thank you Mark !! VG:-)
5:35 I went for a Job in London’s Turnkey - Charing Cross Road in about 2000ish, if that’s the same company.
Amazing place I shopped there all the time and I also bought my Yamaha SY85 from them.
Bloody great interview Vaughn (again), Dave's such a disarmingly down to earth interviewee with a refreshingly open opinion of new and old technology!
Interested you used to work for Turnkey, Vaughn. I used to work for Sound Control (who bought TK in the early 2000s) and around that time became the high-tech buyer for SC. Alex Marten became my boss when he moved from TK to Scotland. Quite a difficult guy to like.
Cheers matey!! VG:-)
Great guest. Lovely chat with Dave B, hope it carries on to Part Infinitum , LOL.
Boom Chakk I’m glad you liked it!! VG
Great job Vaughn. And for the record I would’ve had a brain 🧠 💨 Fart too! Especially being in a room like that and...uh...being with Dave Bascombe!!! 🤩✌️
Saludos desde argentina!
So, Dave is the same age as Alan!! When DM announced that they hired a producer who worked with TFT, etc, I always imagined that Dave would be much older person who'd told them what to do, etc and I was worried that DM's next album could be 'too safe and ordinary pop songs made for top 10 chart'. I was so glad I was wrong. Dave seems to be a lovely guy to work with. (I also noticed that his speakers are facing towards driveway, away from his main house and neighbours. I bet his wife told him.)
What I can say is that having an original cd sound recording of Music for the masses. It is definitely better than the 2006 remaster because none of the dynamics and loudness war standards crap has leeched into it. Bascombe did so well with Tears for Fears Songs from the big chair, which sounds better than 99% of the music that comes out today (fidelity wise.) Sadly in the age of steaming and downloading most people really don’t know the damn difference. And the music business trying to champion vinyl as the ultimate fidelity medium is another story. :(
Anyhow at least my pals Vaughn and Dave get what is going on. *insert Fletch clap 👏 *
Cheers to you my good friend !! We are all on the same page for sure !! VG:-)
Vaughn George we sure are. Have a lovely day and we will see you for part 3. Dave is so nice. Seems like such a great guy with no ego about him. :)
Pleasure to watch.
Woah!! First One here!!!
Another enjoyable watch Vaughn - in Part 3, is there an insight how he worked on MFTM?
Hi there!! Part 3 will be more "Geek Talk" with Dave Bascombe. A separate interview I did with Dave on MFTM will be released on my "Piano & Keyboard Artist " series. This will be coming soon as part of my MFTM album review!! VG
Vaughn George CEO of yeah yeah yeah myeah
🙌
Vaughn, I think you'll look hotter if you wear Guess or Ben Sherman apparel
Is it in regular speed ? it sounds like 1.25
I do see why some baulk at teck discussions like this...plug ins?
I will happily suffer to get a centimetre closer to the Mode...many won't!!
Still...it shows your bona fides and tek grounding...I will persevere...hopefully Depeche will emerge in the next part more than 0.000001%!!!
LOL!! Dave likes GarageBand for on the fly ideas which does the job for me and many alike tinkling and tweaking about with amazing iOS synth and plugin apps. It doesn’t mean I’m/it’s creating quality music ...compared to the talent and practiced skill in sound crafting, sculpting, good chord selection and progression, lead lines, Hooks, beat programming, lyrics, vocal stylizing and composing that goes into making a ‘song’ or a composed instrumental....which Depeche did in the 80’s
I'm a huge fan of Depeche, they are brilliant live.. I wish at times they'd go back to basics, drum machine and synths. I'm sick of the drummer Christian, bring back Alan for a final World tour!!!
Interesting about noticing singers out of tune. It's also only recently for me that I've noticed that Dave and Martin strayed a bit in those old records. It's actually quite refreshing though compared to the fake perfection of today.
Tim you are so right matey !! VG:-)
