I love how the audio on this video has phase issues.

30:25 It's not because they were handmade that they might sound slightly different from microphone to microphone but it was because of the components, that had bigger diffrences value wise than modern components that fall in between 0.1% or 0.01% it think, at least that is what I learned from another great mixing engineer, who has more hardware knowledge.

When was this recorded?

Thank you for can only hear on the right side of my speaker. Makes it more viewable and hearable

Who are the "people designing equipment that know what music sounds like?" Name some brands, what do you think?

Is that a Trident?

In those later albums there’s so little compression or crazy ssl drive and they still sound so good and amazingly contemporary. Such total skill and hard earned knowledge! Thanks for the video.

When you are a god you make it look effortless-rest in peace Bruce.

What an incredible man, very eager to share and hold nothing back. Much thanks to Bruce for sharing his knowledge.

❤

I love you Bruce but thé design on that gate is so psychotic

what are these monitors. ?

I like how centered and down to earth Bruce was. His pioneering vision and work influenced so many people and still he felt lucky and grateful for his journey in music recording without any arrogance. All for the music, respect.

My right era appreciates this lesson.

Genius ❤ Bruce we all miss you Rest In Peace 🙏 love from Bhaarat 🇮🇳

What an ABSOLUTE HONOR to listen to one of the greatest engineers the world has ever known and NEVER known . People have enjoyed sooo many recordings and had ZERO idea that the Great Bruce Swedien engineered and recorded those great sounding tracks . I sooo wish I could have personally known him and had the pleasure of personally learning from him . Priceless are the value of his interviews . Thank You for sharing

🤍🙏🏻

Such an ironic shame to record an interview with the master of audio recording and fail the audio recording\mixing for the video. Shame on the editor\uploader!

Such a treat to watch this legendary engineer discuss the recording medium. I wonder if the great Swedien would have also been excited for Atmos or if he’d think it’s a nonsensical technology for music.

🤍🕊🙏🏻

Unbelievable priceless history, no words to describe the awesomeness of this vid ...

RIP Bruce. I just found out about you, but realize how much of a loss we took with you being gone from this earth. Your great contributions to music will never be forgotten !!

Bruce Swedien's work will last as long as this Earth lasts!

Dude really went all out on the being Swedish. Ha ha ha!!!

Velocity Microphones a.k.a. Ribbon Microphones are wonderful transducers to record with. I learned about ribbon microphones when I was 15 years old. From my mentor, Thomas M. Bray. An electrical engineering genius. Previously with Bell Laboratories. And then 23 years with Johns Hopkins University. And who also mentored another young engineer before myself. By the name of George Massenburg. Almost as famous as Bruce Swedien. In some ways more famous. Though, Earth Wind & Fire and Linda Ronstadt weren't exactly, Michael Jackson.. Aunt George and I had competing recording studios in Baltimore to each other. In fact! I got numerous rock 'n' roll band clients. That walked out on sessions with George Massenburg. It was very funny. Because they felt George had, insulted them. I thought it was very funny. And I used that insult on other bands LOL! Because it was so damned Funny!……" Why don't you send your guitars back to the factory to have them tuned?" LMAO! And I would get those sessions when they'd walk out on George Massenburg. And so it 15. Tom Bray taught me what ribbon microphones were all, about. And ever since then. I haven't been able to live, without them! And I have a nice spread of German and American, ribbon microphones. New and old. But I don't own a Royer. I wish I did. I haven't gotten one, yet. Because I like to buy them in pairs. And I haven't seen my way clear yet. Spending over $3000 for a pair of Royer's. Or more like $4000 today. Perhaps more. Depending upon the model and type. When it comes to percussion and plucked strained instruments and female vocals. You just can't beat a ribbon microphone. Because you get no more overblown spiky transients. With a ribbon microphone. Ribbon microphones fell out of favor decades ago. Because they were so fragile. Particularly fragile to wind and P Pops. Which can damage and destroy the ribbon element. And should never be used outdoors. They just are not well suited to outdoor use. They also fell out of favor due to, analog magnetic tape recording. Because the tape sound. Would, mush up the sound. And you would need a condenser microphone to cut through that mustiness. But when digital recording hit the scene in 1983. 40 years ago! When I started recording in digital. 40 years ago. Linear PCM digital recording had no mustiness to it. It was crystal-clear! And condenser microphones got rather, overly metallic sounding. On too many items. And ribbons were a logical selection! To smooth out that edgy digital PCM sound. Today there are numerous new, ribbon microphone offerings. Some from China that are incredibly affordable. And aren't any more money than a, SHURE, Beta 58. And totally affordable! Do they sound like a Royer? Very close but not quite. Until you pull one or 2 DB down at, between, 300 and 400 Hz. To take a little of the Boxy-Ness, out. Because it sounds a bit boxy. On those cheap and incredibly affordable, Chinese ribbon microphones. Marketed here in the USA under names like Cascades, Fostex and others. And all sound great! It should also be known. Ribbon microphone technology. Was the very first, high quality, high fidelity, microphone transducer. Dating back to I think, 1928? And came from the David Sarnoff Research Center of RCA. And created by Mr. Olsen. Where I am now having a senior moment and have just forgotten his first name? I thought I would never forget. And other American manufacturers also started making, Ribbon Microphones such as, Electro--Voice, SHURE Brothers, Stromberg Carlson, Altec Lansing and others across the pond such as, Cole's. There are generally 2 flavors of ribbon microphones. Short geometry ribbons and long geometry ribbons. A BK-44 RCA is a long geometry ribbon. The RCA 77-DX is a, short geometry ribbon. And they both sound similar but significantly, different. It's really hard to beat a ribbon on solo trumpet. But a condenser fine with a brass section. To get that zippy edgy sound on brass instruments. Which you will not get from a ribbon per se. They are truly wondrous recording transducers to use. Everybody should have at least one. RemyRAD

This is the greatest moment for me!

RIp Bruce…. Great interview outtakes Wish I could use his microphones

Legendarisk. Respekt for begge to ;)

gold

This is the most precious treasure in the world of Music and it's only 28 likes??? I don't understand anything in people....

Great interview Trond. Fantastic conversation. 👌‼️

RIP Brucee..... Music First ❤

Electric Companyet? What?

What song is this, love the groove?

No good

were is my help cliff jones lesson to be learned google

Was this recorded using blumlein array? The stereo image is so narrow and precise.

Hun leverer helt på topp!

Bruce was so good at what he does and you can tell that he completely understands getting good takes. You can tell during the interview that he is aware of restarting from certain points to get the story right...even to the point of asking the interviewer to stop and restart the tape again. One of the best to ever do it! My mixing idol! RIP

Bruce ated The Beast With 40 eyes of Thriller, really?

Bruce rip. You are my legendary recording mixing engineer.I have records which he mixed. All of them sound so good.Thank you.

RIP Mr Bruce Swedien! 🙏

Hi. 🙂 Please, let us pray together. Dear God who art in heaven hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever in Jesus Christ's name we pray amen. 1 Corinthians 16:14 Let all that you do be done in love.
