Whose story would you like to hear next? Let me know below!
dave schiffman !
Todd Rundgren!
Dann Huff
Rick Rubin probably has plethora of stories.
Trent Reznor would be very interesting as well and I'm sure he'd be more than inclined to talk about producing instead of doing a traditionnal "NIN" interview.
Sylvia Massey
I pretty much based my entire workflow for a final year degree project on Vance's workflow or approach, I absolutely love how he works in the studio, I would love to spend some time there just listening and watching. Thank you for spending the tie with hi and letting us share in the time.
Leon Phythian yes! It actually seems straightforward to me, although some are saying it seems complex! However, I grew up aspiring to consoles so maybe I just live the approach?
I have not seen an interview with him in a while. Glad hes still kicking the rock scene in the teeth. Keep on rocking Vance and Warren.
Hi Shawn Wait Thanks ever so much my friend!!
Vance is the man! Love his work. Nice!
Hi Billy! Yes, he is!!
What a tour and interview. Mr. Powell is a veritable compendium of knowledge and expertise, I will look for more from him. I won't even start talking about his total gear nerds paradise ... Great stuff once again Warren.
Yes, Vance is wonderful! Thanks ever so much
Another winner!! Warren is selfless putting all this great information out there for us to learn. Thank you from one audio educator to another.
Vance's mixes are crazy good sounding
This studio is so over the top! Thanks for doing this guys!
Love Love Love this video. Vance has an amazing studio. I’m a big fan of a lot of the music he is a part of. Thanks for another amazing educational and inspiring video, Warren!
what a character! a real nuts and bolts audio guru, loved the episode
Hi monkey dangus agreed! Great guy! Amazing studio!!
I love Vance so much, what a role model - as a person (I think) and as an ngnr.
I recall him breaking down a session in a video probably 2 years ago, where he and the band used a tiny epiphone combo as a second amp which ended up contributing to a unique guitar sound. Taught me a lot about shaping tone and sounds. What a legend..!
Awesome! I don't even need to watch to know I love this video. Now I will watch.....
Thanks ever so much my friend!!
Sylvia Massey is my hero! A visit with Sylvia would be amazing!
AMAZING!!!! Saw his videos on puremix, and man o man does he do some creative stuff. Loved the interview Warren as always!!! Thank you 🙏🏻
Great stuff!
I like his approach to his work. He knows what he likes and he's specific enough to set everything up that way. Great interview and tour!
yes! this is the one I've been waiting for.
Fantastic Johnny!
Gear'in'ell! That's some hardware!! This was a welcome break from chopping up your drum samples (castle & blackbird)....which I am absolutely loving of course!
I love Vance's work!
Hi The Capsicum Kid haha thanks ever so much my friend!!
What an amazing studio ! Please do a part two asap !
Wow great 👍🏼 thanks Warren. Please in part 2 we want to see the tracking room / vocal booth in details along with mic locker and some discussion on his preferred or goto mics. Thanks again 🙏🏼
Absolutely!!
Produce Like A Pro 🙏🏼😃
Learner Forever you Rock!!
Learner Forever OMG YES!!!!! I hope that interview happens sooner than later.
Always a treat to hear Vance talk . We have similar backgrounds and are from from the same part of the country.( the difference being is that he went on to be a Grammy winning producer and engineer. Me? not so much!) I would not be surprised if we had crossed paths at some point in the late 80's or so, perhaps in Springfield, MO. A genuine dude!
I think this is one of the best studio tours/interviews I've watched. So much information and tips!
JEEZZZ, What a marvellous guy this is. My brain went into overload..... This is character from start to finish, wish we never loose this type of studio's !! Thanks Vance and Waren, you made my day. (Also a lot of ideas for my own studio under construction).
Frans
Holy crap! This was genuinely mind boggling. Just wow.
Thanks Warren and Vance. Awesome and inspiring. Much appreciated : D
Thanks ever so much Arthur!!
Vance is the FKNG MAN!!! LOVE his approach, attitude, POV, aesthetic... TRULY hope there is a Pt2 and 3!! And iinside the mix of some of his work!!! Thx Warren!! 👊🏼🦁
This is great!
Thanks ever so much my friend!!
I think I missed this vid at the time, because of other commitments. We do like Vance, for his nerding-out, and no, I've never knew anything about him, other than I probably heard you or someone else mention his name. Love the fact that he wanted to play you bits of kit in the studio. Love the fact of another WORKING studio, looking as colourful as Aladin's cave, come fairground fun-house. Love the barn wood, love the bare-arse upfrontery plain talk of the man and his little red dots telling you it's probably too loud. You get the feeling that you would probably walk away from a session there with some 'chunky' sounds. Cool vid, great beard
Vance is THE man!
"no EQ, who cares" this is my kind of dude!!
Can’t go back there, prototype guitars
Warren continues walking 😂 Love it!!
Amazing studio, awesome interview, thank you, Warren!!
Daniel C haha indeed! They looked great!!
Produce Like A Pro That’s awesome!! 🙂🎸
Love Vance's hat!
Ditto.
awesome studio!
Hi Cameron Early agreed! Incredible!!
Awesome studio! Thanks for the tour!
One of your best videos. The conversation in this video is extremely deep reaching well beyond gear... almost the psychology of being an engineer... everything from your self confidence in your mix ability to relationships with the other people involved through out the creative process of making records. Throughly enjoyed it. Thanks
Vance Powell is a treasure!
This is so awesome, Is Vance THE coolest cat in the industry??? His mixes are unique to my ears, his videos are so great. Legend
Such an awesome studio! And Vance himself is pretty damn cool to, not least for throwing a great party during Namm! =)
Great Video! I want a tour!
I just keep on learning! Love it
Hi David Ben deWaard me too my friend!!
Thanks so much for this video, Warren! Vance is the man and I enjoyed my visit to Sputnik Sound. Lot's of great take-aways from this video. I'm definitely going to give his Richard Dodd SSL Bus Comp settings a try. Cheers! - chaz
Electric Owl Works fantastic l!! Thanks ever so much my friend!! I appreciate all of your amazing comments!
Great interview! Love the gear and stories. He is definitely a reference for me in sound and approach.
Thanks ever so much Terry! You Rock my friend!!
This is any engineers dream studio! I’m absolutely blown away must be over half million dollars worth of gear. Unbelievable! What kind of material does he have over the NS-10 tweeters?
Marvelous! 😎
Manifold Recording in Pittsboro, NC with Ian Schreier. My old band The Influence recorded there back in 2011, AMAZING studio! It’s out in the middle of nowhere.
"Broken Woofers went Aluminium!" - it's probably a classic, but I never heard that before. All the best to them!
Hi Christoph Stoll haha yes! Love it!!
Such an awesome Studio and insane credits!
Wowzas. Easily, instantly one of my favorites of this kind of video! 😄 And I think I was Like no.420, so... happy days 🤷🏼♂️ lol
Thanks always, Warren!
yobhsiFehT Aw Shucks! Thanks ever so much my friend!
I've been filing mixes (& other things) the exact same way for 20+ years 190809 (Y/M/D) makes life so much easier ...
Yes, agreed! Very simple and smart!
the most replayed action in this video i also replayed this moment without thinking he was explaining and he checked the watch so people are replaying to see if he really did that thinking it's inapropriate hhhhh i mean no the dude is busy but it's a nice guy he is explaining everything
"I hate eveything I do" "I listen to it a year later, and I'm like - ehh, it's not bad"..
Haha... so real & true! 😉
This is Art ,this is how to record and mix😍😍
" I was like ... O K.." Classic
Santa's toy shop! Thanks to both of you! I agree with Santa's hat.
Vance is the man.
Curtis Burns yes he is!!
That monotron made my lab start howling from across the room while watching this... lol. 🤣😂
Really cool studio!!!
David Nordstrom Thanks ever so much!! Agreed!! Great studio
Awesome setup and insights!
ya'll live in a different world than i,amazing
this guy is so intriguing
Fascinating talking about mastering engineers. Mika Jussila saved a record for me. It was my bands first album that we had worked on for 4 years and my mixing time my objective ear was totally gone. It was amazing how mixes that I thought were good had some major problems that I did not hear until Mika pointed them out. As soon as he did it was like my ears came back and it was like "what was I doing?" Remixed the album and it turned out way better., Great final line of defense!
Listening to Vance talk reminds me how dumb I am. That guy is a real engineer.
Jeremy Horn no you are not dumb at all!! Vance would say he is just learning! All the greats, Jack Douglas, Shelly Yakus you make them, they all are just learning as they go my friend!! The experts are the ones telling you that your doing it wrong! Meanwhile you’re the one making music they are the ones telling you off! I’d much rather being making music than critiquing!
I recorded through that very SSL before Vance got it! Its a great board.
Jason Williams thanks for sharing!
As great as the equipment and workflow is at Sputnik the biggest draw for me is the opportunity to meet and work with Mr. Powell...
Agreed 100%! A huge talent!!
My dog did not like the Monotron! Haha! I have one of those MoFx units and it is amazing. One of the few rack pieces I have left. Thanks for the tour!
This guy wit the beard kicks some serious Ass!. Cool Dude
Always love your interviews! Any chance of getting Roy Thomas Baker? Cheers!
That would be AMAZING!!
Awesome studio and fella.
Awesome!
How cool was that place?! My geek-o-meter blew up.
Hi Lasse, agreed! Amazing!!
It looks like a lot of gear but it’s all pretty modest. Of them all I like the 910 and Pcm42’s, the Analog Outfitters as well. Liked the way he patches his gear into the faders. Dreamy studio.
@13:34min, this exactly! =D I'm so glad to hear you guys say this! ^^
This is great. Just a couple guys talking shop.
Hi Brandon Novak that’s exactly what I’m always going for my friend!!
This is the best thing ever :)
Warren love your videos....can we get a new intro please
I mean I donˋt know Mr. Powell, just from videos, but he really seems to be nice guy and a loveable nerd
Jo Philippi yes! He’s a great guy!
I like him. Good interview.
Thanks ever so much!!
Regarding recalling mixing where the outboard gear was used, does anyone record the final tracks back in as new tracks, with the processing on? If so, that would make doing mix tweaks for adjusting a level easier because you have the track as processed.
Hi Clay, many people record tracks from the SSL into their DAW and then mix those in-the-box! That's a great technique and makes recall very fast indeed!
These videos make me realize how LITTLE I know about gear, recording, and mixing! haha
That's quite alright Andrew! I'm always learning and I guarantee Lance, even with all his knowledge would day the same thing! The greats are always learning, so you are in good company my friend!!
what a humble guy
The AES19 video brought me here :P
Warren,
I’m wanting to start the academy but wanted to know if it’s still worth it if I only have FL 20 Signature edition to mix with.
What do you think?
Also do you have any promos going!?
Corban Boutot if you would like to email us at support@producelikeapro.com just mention I sent you and this message!
Corban Boutot I’m a 3rd year member and now Master Class Alumni. YES mate SO very worth it!
matty6strings thanks! I’ll be signing up tonight!
my goodness that studio....
What's the cool tabletop box with the red and black knobs in front of the ADR Gemini Easyrider? Thanks!
Had to rewatch... how about a review of a few hardware fader controllers??? Affordable options are the Behringer One & the Fader port... what others are there? Would be great to get your point if view Warren. :)
Hi warren, How does Vance use his avocet? does he patch the mix buss from the console to the avocet? just wondering where is it in the chain and how he uses it with the console, thanks!
1:05:40 The Plugin Alliance emulation of the Acme is cool :D
What’s the Replay mode mixing? So in Replay/masterflip, the long faders send to the (selected) busses and he patches (the equipment on the buss) returns to any small fader ??
The original fader port had button that aren't as sensitive to simple touch. He should be able to use the fader without button issues. Probably not really that big a deal for him though.
OMG ! Very impressive,I think I’ve asked before but he’s so difficult to get hold of is ,Martin Birch aka Deep Purple ,my close second would be Alan Tarney for the early work with the Norwegian band A-ha, A third, Martin Terefe?
Is there anymore, anyone has on the guy building his own version for the ssl computer on the Pi unit ? Or which forum I can find it all on ?
Interesting that his NS-10 tweeters are so close together. I wonder why.
Hi Clay, I imagine for the perfect seating position!
H910 flickering between .99 and 1 ... that used to annoy the studio owner I worked in .. How many times was I told to fix it ? can't remember
Hi Vixo P that’s the exact setting we all use my friend!!
I have a question for Vance: Since you work both, entirely in the box, and using your most wonderful hammers and saws, do you prefer recording and mixing using your outboard gear mainly for sonic reasons or do you like working that way? Thank you very much! And, Warren, this is one of the, if not the best interview. Thanks to you, too!
BEAUTIFUL
The magic is in the beard...
Frank55 haha maybe! Samson and his hair? Vance and his beard?
Where in the beard though. It’s so fkn vast!
Wow! When you entered Mitch’s control room, your voice dried out instantly. And I could hear that from s**tty free, old samsung earbuds
17:00 I do that too, with the photos for my blog (so far) :P
Very cool!
@@Producelikeapro It's a case of working *with* the idiosyncracies of pieces of technology. And/or getting them to work for you.
Khron's Cave amazing!
@@Producelikeapro Not really, "only" common-sense :P (Which, as the saying goes, is no longer all that common nowadays...)
Im right handed but i´ve always used the Faderport with my left, cuz then i can still use the mouse with the right. To me it works perfect!
Yes, Vance does have a lot of hammers. Wow!
Don’t know any of the artists mentioned in the description 🤔
