    I'm a filmmaker, but I learn so much from your interviews as an artist. Music and producing are really similar to filmmaking as a collaborative effort. How can you be an artist and make a performance that makes people react? How masterpieces get together? How do you inspire or push artist to create something unique? I like these behind the scenes snippets because they give me so much inspiration making art in everyday life. Your interview with Michael Beinhorne helped me to understand Chris Cornell much better. It's really great to see your interviews. Brendan O'Brien, Butch Vig, Andy Wallace would be really interesting to hear. Keep going on.

    When I was 6 years old, (1986)I saw Alanis sing "O Canada" at the opening of the Canadian Civilisation Museum in Ottawa (now called the Canadian History Museum). My class was sitting next to the stage, I saw her take the stage and fell in love with her voice. I remember I almost cried because it was so beautiful then RAW then back to beautiful.
    Cheap mic, bad PA, No reverb, no effects and it sounded larger than life. Alanis is truly an artist.

    Edited the same ending as 'You Oughta Know', well, I suppose it was the same session in reality. On a serious note, this second instalment had some really excellent insight - yet again - into recording experience, advice and tales, there wasn't a fantastic amount of 'the song', but somehow I was still caught up in Francis' passion and eager involvement and I caught a good glimpse of something so, so important - work quickly and capture the moment - and it really rammed home something: The engineer & producer sometimes need to almost be so far ahead and yet invisible in their operation, As ever, cheers for the time spent

    Loving this series! I have to point out however that he is incorrect about the microphone. Glen didn't use a 47 on her, it was a vintage C12 that was used to track her vocals for this album (and all of her albums except Under Rug Swept which used a C12 VR). This is documented in numerous places by Glen and also by Chris Fogel.

    Thank you Francis and Warren! 🙂
    For sure! Always be Recording! That's the deal after the second take, you can get good technically flawless performances, but it's rare to maintain the freshness. You don't want people to hear you thinking while you sing. If you can go away and maybe record it again in a week, without over thinking it like a one take live performance then sometimes you can get something better. It's just how it goes. New material is never gonna be as full of fireworks and still technically spot on, as a song that's been taken on the road long enough to develop dynamics in the interactive live moments, so that then it can be done without so much consciousness applied to remembering every technical thing. Still people love new stuff, so it needs to keep being made, and added to repertoire. This is what I'm thinking but trying not to think about every time I record! Hahahahahahaha! I gives me empathy for anyone else recording. A nice swim, long walk, and a handful of chocolate beforehand. Heeheehee!

    Loved when he said he always hits record. We mainly record ourselves but do record other bands too. Over the years we learned to always hit record. We'll usually just tell ppl we're going to do a practice run. But we always record it. Lots of times it's the best take. Ppl don't usually get as nervous when they think it's just a trial run.

  • @gbaxter6465
    @gbaxter6465 5 лет назад +1

    She single-handedly taught an entire generation a wrong definition of irony. Irony is sometimes funny, sometimes tragic and often not even noticed. But rain on your wedding day is NOT irony. Filing for divorce on your wedding is irony. A fly in your wine is gross, not ironic. Don’t ya think?

    Yes, yes, everybody, we know Alanis’s concept of what irony actually is was shaky at best, but she was 19 when that song came out. I was never a big fan of it, but Alanis and I are the same age and it was smarter than anything I wrote back in 1993.

    If you want to be a successful engineer, then learn the gear well enough to be able to record a musician on the first take. It's not that hard. Just know gain staging well enough so when you hit record it's not distorted or noisy. Learn how to work a preamp and a limiter, and you'll be well on your way to recording great signals that can then be shaped in many ways by a mixer later. And every "rough mix" you do, treat it like it will end up on a record, because it just might.
