Parsons doing podcasts in 2011... always ahead of the time
Wlooow, when these real masters of music start talking about it,we simply listen and learn. This video is just amazing. It's not that often that you see this kind of musicians gathered in a video to talk about music other than to play.
A real treasure.
Excellent podcast with knowledge voiced by the great legend Alan Parsons. He is a terrific person and humble at the same time. Let's hear more of this fantastic artist.
Alan Parsons is a treasure of engineering & production knowledge!
Absolutely amazing. I can't believe how few likes this has. Goes to show how shallow the music industry today is, for the most part. There are many exceptions, obviously.
this here is a masterclass of drum recording.
I have to be impressed with his knowledge. I'm a drummer that was directed to come here and check it out. I am not educated in the whatnots of specific frequencies. An EQ, to me, is just trial and error based on how I set the channels. For drumming/recording, I spin knobs and tune heads to a desired feel and sound, depending on the song. And then will write down my preferences in a notebook. Once set, I then forget the numbers and settings immediately afterward. it has served me well in both producing and drumming, but without my book, man, it's back to ground zero for me.
Alan Parsons... who can argue with him? I mean, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Al Stewart, etc... those are all historic and amazing sets, but when you dig into his own albums you can sense that perfection of his art goes into each and every song. I Robot, to me, is just as fantastic sound-wise as Dark Side or Abbey Road. It is about the songs they've written, but also that sound. That sound of I Robot is one of the cleanest sounds anywhere. And to hear Alan speak of his knowledge was simply mind-blowing. I imagine he's forgotten more than I ever knew.
I like Allan Parsons . The Turn of a Friendly Card is a great album!
the great Alan Parsons sits in awe of Phillips who really knows about recording drums thanks Ken Scott snd Eddie Kramer.
Rest in peace Taylor Hawkins 💔
Boy am i glad my cousin , who just started engineering my drum tracks has followed Alan Parson's techniques for years..So no matter what, i will always get the best sounding drum sound my little budget can squeeze out..Tuning techniques are my specialty, and he does the rest.. Just completed a 4 and half hr session, and the drum sound he got naturally was just superb..
want u 2 give me am him phone numer Want 2 hiror u cousin 2 is record they drums he can is meet me in they wallmart or they macdonals
I love this. And wasn't Alan well into his 60s when this was made? He really seems ageless
This is EPIC! Just found channel! Your kiddin me right? Awesome! Now I gotta binge watch...
To answer Simon Phillips, who didn't know who was responsible for taking the resonant front head off the kick drum: it was engineer Geoff Emerick, who broke strict EMI protocol by removing the front head & putting the mic in close. Check out Geoff's book HERE THERE & EVERYWHERE.
Awesome, Alan! So fascinating! Thank you! 🌠
I am totally buying this DVD after watching this. Parsons is pretty much God when it comes to engineering and producing. An amazingly talented musician, too. I can learn a lot from this, being a wannabe home studio producer myself.
Even if you feel you have to nothing to hide, keep it inside of you. Remember don't let it show.
ALAN GENIOOÓO UN GROSO EN LO TUYO ERIC ESTES DONDE ESTES AMO TUS LETRAS TU VOZ TIEMPO ETC Q GRANDE
Also I'm very happy to see them Yamaha HS series monitors in the background in Alan's studio! Looks like I chose my monitors (on a budget) well!
Simon's tom hoops could be attached to axles and mounted as tank wheels. Massive.
You're so right. They're die-cast hoops, come standard on Tama Star Classic.
So Helpful!
Excellent

HOPE TO MEET AND WORK WITH ALAN
I would love Alan to do a mic type and placement for varied rooms, desired result situations. For instance, I strongly favor old drum recordings, any open room sounding kit, ala Mitch Mitchell,
early Yes (Bruford or White), Phil from early Genesis, esp (Selling England and Lamb), which are brilliant drum records, Nick Mason (WYWH, Animals, Wall) brilliant drums -and any technique he might explain that doesnt result in an 80s type boomy tom sound, which I cant seem to dispense of, save tape and dampening, which kills to sound. Early records didnt damp as much it seems and maybe they utilized things I dont know of. . .
I use Senn e609s, 2 KSM 32 overs, or simple 57s, a Senn MD421 on floor or kick, along w D6 Audix on kick as well. Just have some reserve still on digital vs analogue, which to me, there is clearly a headroom/frequency difference that I just dont dig on for (most) modern drum recordings. Not been an engineer long, but Ive been a listener for a long time, knowing the old records had magic!
Educational....
The ticking clocks and chimes are driving me crazy....!
Narrirated by Billy Bob Thorton...credit to that...pretty damn cool.
That first voice over has got to be Billy Bob Thornton! Am I right?
Yep..dead on. You o now your connected when BBT is narrirating.
EMI brought the session drummer Andy White
The Beatles brought Ringo
Okay dann bis morgen
SLINGBLADE IS THE NARRATOR- AKA- BILLY BOB THORTON
Why is billy Bob Thornton narrating this video??
I see a tiny triangle of tummy, but wth is the beige thing?
I'd cook dinner for him anytime
fine i'll be the first person to comment on this video.
Sorry Taylor, but EMI got The Beatles a session drummer...named Ringo Starr. No one is expendable if the contract is on the line.
talking to the drummers was worthless, but the eq advice was good
What has Parsons done since Dark Side (on which the drums sounded anemic) ? Squat, that's what.
peter hlinka Literally every Alan Parsons Project album sounds great
I totally agree! The whole drum sound on most of Pink Floyds stuff sounds awful to me!!
What have you done that made any impact on the world Mr. nobody
I would also love to hear what Alan Parsons would have to say about a tacky Nickleback recording, which is possibly the most over processed, insanely high mid, unnatural low mid frequency recording in the history of rock music.. Oh yeah, and their music is nothing short of sewage waste..
I'd imagine he would smile, nod politely, and find something else to talk about.

Alan Parsons. Jeremy Beadle/Demis Roussos hybrid.
