Wow, what a fascinating interview! It's great hearing so many details about the whole creative process. Loved Ronan's participation and his enthusiasm for the albums. Thank you Mike and Mr. Taylor. Very much looking to experiencing these albums.
Glad you enjoyed it!
How cool is this 😎
So nice to see your son enjoying the music and engaging with Stephen.
It was a spontaneous, very cool moment, for this dad. 🥰
As always, Stephen is a great interview! You can really feel his passion for the music.
He’s sooooo easy to talk to. Genuinely super nice.
I’m really looking forward to watching this tomorrow; …thanks in advance for doing this!
I hope you enjoyed it!
@@lifeinsurround I finally got the time to watch this, I really enjoyed hearing about Mr. Tayler’s process and thoughts on surround sound mixing, ….thank you for the interview!
This video came like a shining light. I had purchased the two blu-rays on Amazon and expected a March delivery. Unfortunately, it looked like they couldn't get their hands on the product to send--so I canceled my order. I then checked the SDE shop and saw "Sold Out". I figured I missed the boat, and then this with links to purchase. Done! Thank You!
Yay! Very happy the video helped. I love these two releases! Gems of my collection.
I love his singles but have never took a deep dive into experiencing his full albums!
I encourage you to do it! Some moments of these albums are experimental, so I’m not sure I love every second, but weird music also holds my interest long term.
Tayler 😁
Thanks! I think autocorrect got me!
Dear Mike,
Thank you for the video and the opportunity to learn about the work and future plans of Mr. Stephen W. Tayler.
May I ask you to convey to Mr. Tayler my criticisms of his mixing style?
Thus, I want to draw Mr. Tayler's attention to those aspects in his mixes that I consider poorly developed, or frankly weak.
The fact is that I have an accurate and specific system for evaluating multi-channel mixes. Here they are in order:
1 - Balance. Balance means that the front panorama sounds at the same volume as the rear one. That is, both panoramas are equivalent in volume. If the balance is reached, then the mix will be 80% successful.
2 - Static. Excellent static means that all 4 or 5 channels are evenly filled with discretely sounding instruments.
4 - Dynamics. Good dynamics means that there are moving sound effects in every tracks: flying synthesizers, guitars, drums, voices etc. The more such effects there are, the more interesting the mix.
The final score for the 5.1 mix varies from 1 point to 10 points, where 2 points equals stereo sound.
1 - worse than stereo;
2 - Stereo;
3 - a slight echo in the rear;
4 - a little more echo and some instruments in the rear;
5 - even more discrete instruments in the rear;
....
10 - maximum instrument environment and volume-balanced sound.
Based on this rating system, I still haven't heard Mr. Tayler's remixes that have reached 10 points.
Here is my rating of his works:
Van Der Graaf Generator "Godbluff" = 6
Van Der Graaf Generator "H To He, Who Am The Only One" = 8
Van Der Graaf Generator "Pawn Hearts" = 8
Van Der Graaf Generator "Still Life" = 7
Be Bop Deluxe "Futurama" = 6
Be Bop Deluxe "Sunburst Finish" = 6
Dear Mike, as far as you can see, these rates are very far from ideal (10 points), and the main problems in Mr. Tayler's mixes are three points:
1 - A disbalance. The volume of the front channels is not equal to the volume of the rear’s.
2 - Static. There are always fewer instruments (more echoes of them) in the rear panorama than in the front one. All instruments in the rear panorama sound quieter, lower than in the front one.
3 - Very often the rhythm section (drums and bass) is located in the central channel, or in the virtual center. This section (drums and bass) is loud and too bright. Thus, they do not give a chance to those instruments that are in the back channels, since they are not audible.
This is a big problem in Mr. Tayler's mixes! We often hear just echoes from the rear channels.
It would be great if Mr. Tayler improves the sound the way it was done in the 1970’s quadraphonics. That is, then all 4 channels sounded like equals among equals. Thus, immersion in surround balance was achieved.
If you ask me which mixes I gave 9-10 points to, then here they are:
Rick Derringer "All American Boy" SACD 4.0 = 10 (Dutton Vocalion)
Rick Derringer "Spring Fever" SACD 4.0 = 8 (Dutton Vocalion)
Hugo Montenegro "Hugo In Wonder-Land" SACD 4.0 = 10 (Dutton Vocalion)
Poco "Cantamos" SACD 4.0 = 10 (Dutton Vocalion)
Poco "Seven" SACD 4.0 = 10 (Dutton Vocalion)
Hugo Montenegro "Others By Brothers" & "Scenes & Themes" SACD 4.0 = 10 (Dutton Vocalion)
Loggins & Messina "Full Sail" SACD 4.0 = 10
Argent "In Deep" SACD 4.0 = 10 (Dutton Vocalion)
Deodato "Deodato 2" SACD 4.0 = 10 (Dutton Vocalion)
Donald Byrd "Black Byrd" SACD 4.0 = 9 (Dutton Vocalion)
Unfortunately, Mr. Tayler's mixes mentioned above sound like a slightly improved stereo.
Alas, but it is so.
Therefore, I ask you, Mike, to ask Mr. Tayler to improve the work in the further mixes that he has to do.
As you all understand, the excellent result of his work will benefit us all.
Thanks, Mike.
@@marcopolo7246 Your point system & opinions on front-to-rear balance, static vs active panning, or on how discrete a mix is, etc. seem rigid and impractical for most modern 5.1 & Atmos mixes.
Stephen mixes how he wants to, it is his creative presentation of a song in surround sound. There are no rules or standards to abide by.
There are many types of mixes, mixers and listeners. IMO asking Mike to relay your own criticisms of Mr. Tayler’s mixing styles is inappropriate & not thought-out.

What's happened to Quadraphonicquad? Any ideas Mike
I have been told it was a server crash and QQ is one of several sites that needs to be brought back up.
@@stephentayler Thanks for the update Stephen. I look forward to hearing what else you have for our surround ears.😍
Traffic to this video brought down QQ!!! J/K, but maybe!
please, your son is lovely but what is the added value of having him in this video? If we all involved our of our kids with our output and input on these type of channels it would really become a kindergarden show. Its not what we signed in for…
It's Mike's channel and he can do as he wishes with it. And how charming to see a father involve his son in this hobby that we love.
I understand your point, philosophically. However, I almost never have my son on the channel, so there is no trend to point to, plus he contributes plenty to the video. At least three substantial times. It’s not like he’s on my lap drooling.
And see how happy SWT is about his presence?
@@lifeinsurround sorry, I honestly should not have posted that. I was a little under the weather at that moment. It’s your channel and please keep up the good work and ignore my stupid remark. 🎸💪
No worries! It is a good caution to avoid overdoing such things! This was a genuine circumstance where my son actively enjoyed some multichannel and wanted to talk to the engineer for a bit.
