Hi friend, I got to visit Taylor Locke at his studio and had a blast! We discussed music, his journey, I drooled over his FANTASTIC guitar collection, and we even had Robert Maune, the studio designer, come by to explain a bit about the design of his studio! It's a great studio and I look forward to recording something there soon! I hope you enjoy the video and please leave lots of questions and comments! Have a marvelous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
hey warren, great channel and marvelous content - i was very interested in what Robert Maune was saying about the history of acoustic design in buildings - any chance you could put up the part you edited out at 32:30? keep up the good work!
Its refreshing to see a studio tour of someone on a more approachable level. Lots of low end mics used creatively to get great results. No console. Not much outboard. As much as id love a huge 64 channel vintage console, £6000 mics and every bit of of outboard imaginable its just not realistic for me, and most of the people watching i imagine. Dont get me wrong I love all of those videos and I watch all the studio tours daily and I will always work towards all of that. I have the most respect for everyone working that way too as its a dream of mine. But its nice to see someone at a more similar level to myself. Keep up the marvelous work Warren.
Thanks very much to you too!! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video! Taylor's studio is fantastic!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hi Warren! I just love love love your videos and thanks so much for doing them. There is one spesific thing in this vid that I am curious about. In the beginning when Taylor thanks you for doing your famous signature intro (which is great by the way), you are starting on a story about why you started doing that intro. But Taylor interrupts you and we never get to hear it... you HAVE to tell us the origin of the marvelous intro. Thanks again. :)
Haha I know I’m late to this! However, I did the intro a couple of times and then the third video I didn’t do it and a couple of people said ‘hey you didn’t do your signature intro’ haha it’s just something I say and now it’s stuck!!
Glad to hear Taylor's feelings on the EL Distressor! I love them and get they are awesome, but you have to really learn what the they can do...more over how to make it happen quickly...read the manual (HA)!!! Depends on the source.
What a great interview! Very unique vibe and character. When I first listened to Taylor's work, I immediately thought "Jellyfish", so I was intrigued to hear he would be sharing space with Rodger Manning Jr.. Now if you could ever score an interview with the elusive Andy Sturmer you would have a worldwide exclusive.As always, thanks for being a window into the world of inspiration and greatness! Chris
Hi Warren, Glad to see Taylor has a Sebatron. I have the same model and love it, even though I use mine as a voice over pre. Sabastian, the guy who makes them, started building them after working with the Avalanches as he didn't like the pres in the studio they were recording in. They are a great pre and versatile if you take the time to play with them, I know a few studios here in Melbourne that love them.
Thanks Loren! Yes glad we were able to get the studio designer in talking about the studio design! Have a marvelous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Thanks very much Matt! I do fall behind at times! Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I find it interesting what Taylor said his guitar chain was - into a focusrite preamp -> compressor -> reamper and then the amp. I'm going to try that! I've got a focusrite trakmaster preamp that I've never really used - it will great to see what difference this makes! Learning so much, as always, from your videos Warren! Cheers Pete
I know!! That's great I'm going to try it myself! Bryan Carlstrom did that as well and got amazing guitar tones!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Loved the talk about Black Sabbath at the end. For me it was British Prog Rock. I got a radio with FM on it for my 11th birthday and a local college station played 3 hours of it every week. I was just obsessed. It just took over. I wouldn't go to MacDonald's or anything, I had to go to Arthur Treacher's, drank tea, and the real killer was I'd spell everything in school in British English....lol. But I learned how to get parts and junk to build better and better hi fi and, of course had to play drums because Phil Collins was the coolest drummer. So I learned electronics and eventually programming as well and don't have to work a "real" job....lol.
Great comment Rabi! I LOVE English Prog Rock!! Bands such as Caravan, Hatfield and the North, Genesis etc are some of my favourite bands ever! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Fantastic episode as usual ... these studio tours always make me want to whip out the credit card but luckily I realize I haven't even scratched the surface of the gear I have yet!
I'm loving all of the Cascade Fat Heads in this video. They sound great on everything. As an aside, I believe Howard Stern uses one of the Neumann TLM (not sure which one). But I get what he means. I get the same podcasty, radio announcer vibe when I see an SM7b. Looks aside they are great mics and I see metal guys using them for vocals because they're dynamics and can handle the higher SPLs from screams and whatnot. Beautiful studio and humble guy. Thanks!
Warren, at the point of topic about the Memory Man, @ 15:45 you almost said, "we like twiddling with knobs" but just caught it in time, well recovered brother 🇬🇧 👍 x
Produce Like A Pro It makes a somewhat clean guitar guitar sound like the white stripes live. Makes me wonder... in any event- best thing ive ever "done" to an amp
Great video Warren, all this studio room design sound is interesting, but I think that its more important to know your room, and reference with several monitors and headphones. But maybe that's just because I don't have an amazing room xD
I also use dbx 160 before the amp. It shaves the tone like beautiful beard. Especially useful with single coil pickups. I've also tried 1176 but dbx is better for the purpose
I had a Waterston 12 string acoustic that I got for a steal from a musician friend of mine.I got into a bind while going through my divorce and I had to sell it. One of the most beautiful guitars I have ever owned. I have been looking for one ever since but they do not make them any more. Pretty bummed about it.
Hi Warren, great video as usual. I have had a couple of old HH amps, both guitar and bass, weird as hell and really nasty sounding but sometimes just whats needed. The one I currently have lights up green which is always a bonus! X
Thanks a lot Warren again very interesting! :) Really enjoyed that video! Also bought ya "Love me i am rich" Mixing ITB video and theres so much to learn from! :) Thanks and have a nice time
Hey Warren channel is growing and subscribers is more and more! Great job! Also would clip gain be okay to use as fader rides and does it act in the same way?
Hi Jon, thanks very much for your kind words!! Yes indeed, clip gain is great for automating vocals! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Thanks for the video, Warren! This question isn't related to the video, but it is guitar related :) I was wondering if you could show us how to record vocals and acoustic guitar at the same time? If you haven't already? Thank you!
Thanks for the great question! Yes I've been asked that a few times! I should definitely do it! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
+Produce Like A Pro Awesome, thank you, Warren! I look forward to it! I had 2 sessions this week and I'm off to GearFest at Sweetwater this weekend! :)
+Produce Like A Pro Thank you, I will! :) I don't think I'll be able to make it to Summer NAMM, but I would like to go soon, I've never been, would love to meet you!
the specs are: its a very old grandma of a computer, still running beautifully and supporting loads of plug ins! someday it will be fetishized like a tape machine.
Hi Taylor, yes my computer is hanging on by it's finger tips making great music!! Long may it live! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
He's sure got stuff packed in there, Gibson's all over, in every corner & amps & mic's. Btw, private maybe but how did you get into the country to stay, work permission and all? It's not all to do that easy is it?
Hi rawstarmusic thanks for the great comment! I got work visas based on my success/resume etc. Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Aha thanks. Even Elon Musk had to think twice how to get into the US and start SpaceX and Tesla.) All I have to do is have a look at my success then. Ok. Have to get busy.
Hi rawstarmusic yes, I pride myself on working hard and providing for my family and those around me! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
That would be the day when I get a work permit as a bass player in the US and get to meet my old girlfriend, the lovely Cim who's married there now (Hi Cim! have a marvellous time in Del Mar!.) Hm, I could try to record acapella singing which I also like to do. Doing what Pentatonix do, it might get me a work visa as a grammy nominee and face of fame.
Hi Warren. I really enjoy your channel. Really. But I do miss all the female producers that aught to be out there. When I got the email for this video i went "wow, finally...", but evidently Taylor is a christian name given to all sexes :) As I said, I like what your doing , but ask that you make an effort to find other talents as well. Or... are there actually that few female producers/mixers/sound techs? If so, what can be done about it? Happy recording! /S
Hi Sven, you should check out Linda Taylor's video! She is amazing!! ruclips.net/video/3QU1Z3l7OXQ/видео.html Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hi there. Its not a stereo mic, its a matched mono pair set up in whats called "mid-side" configuration. Its a classical recording technique. You sum the dual mono channels into a mid-side matrix (a really matrix simple plug in), and it creates a stereo image. It sounds a bit different from x/y, wide-spaced stereo, etc. Give it a try!
Hello Warren - The Cascade Ribbon microphone model that Taylor is using is the "Fathead II". Can you find out from Taylor if it's the model with the "Lundahl" Transformers....or do they have the "Stock" Transformers ? I'm looking to pick up a couple of these and would like to know which of those he has...there is a noticeable price difference between the two. Thanks a bunch !! Very insightful video as usual !!
Hi John. It is indeed the Fathead II, totally stock. Amazon deal...matched pair with case! I'm sure the upgraded transformer is great, but I chose to spend the $ on having several pairs instead...i like to be able to cut drums or guitars or whatever at a moment's notice without re-miking.
Thanks for the info Taylor !! I'm definitely looking to acquire a couple of Ribbon microphones....have read alot of good things about the Cascade mic's. I'm a guitar player also and am looking at matching up a Ribbon mic with a Shure SM57 on all of my guitar amp recordings from hear on out. And I might try them out on my Acoustic as well.
+John Lyell with the right positioning, i've found no need to have the 57. Of course, its a classic combo and you won't go wrong, but try putting a ribbon dead center on the speaker cone (brightest spot), then backing it away a few inches or even a foot to roll off the woofy lows.
Do most people leave their condenser out in these studio's? They are always working if they are left out…why not keep them in the case till tracking time?
I leave out my condenser if i'm doing vocals for the week. I leave it out because I work many hours and as soon as i get up next day i'm working. I always put it in the case when i'm done with vocals or taking a break for a few days. I have a friend that thought it was weird putting my mic in the case,but he's not working in the music industry to understand lol.
blood lord True I was speaking in general I've seen people do this myself they just stay up. I'll leave a 57 up thats about it the others stay in the cases till recording time then I'll leave em up for over dubs.…it add's to the vibe or not, haha
Great comments! Ultimately I leave mine up a lot! I'm tracking everyday, I also turn off my pres when I don't use them, so the mics aren't working. My setup is always ready to go at any creative moment and that to me is the most important thing, however if it was a commercial studio and not my persona studio I would insist that everything be put away every night if not being used the next day. Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
if you like the sound of old gear just get a joe meek 3q, its horribly awesome in the worst good ways. get 3. Im not sayin its an LA2A but I cant have an La2a
Produce Like A Pro It's not that bad and not very loud to the point we can't hear you two. I noticed it when you guys where sitting and moving around. Could be all the gear or a cell phone interfering.
Yes I've been in studios where they have a 'no cellphone' policy when they mix or master! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

Your interviews are always inspiring Warren, thanks so much.....
Thanks very much Shawn! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Lol i love your long tangents. Please do not stop!
Haha thanks very much!! I won't then! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
This studio is one of my favourite.. Small space, well designed!
Hi Joseph, I agree! Extremely well laid out creative area! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hi Warren,

I think it's not too hard to guess the favorite color... at least in his studio. It was really cool to get to hear from the studio designer too.
Thanks Loren! Yes glad we were able to get the studio designer in talking about the studio design! Have a marvelous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I just listened to the four SC songs linked. So yeah, I want the CD. When can I get it?
+L. Scott Music hey dude thanks for the interest. No cd out yet
Hi Loren, yes Taylor's music is fantastic!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I love that you take time to respond to everybody's comments. Class Act.

That's horrible when they reissue an album on CD and use a bad quality of the master! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Fantastic episode as usual ... these studio tours always make me want to whip out the credit card but luckily I realize I haven't even scratched the surface of the gear I have yet!
Haha I hear you Terry!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Roger Manning from Jellyfish! - you definitely need to do a follow up after he moves in!

Thanks very much! I really appreciate it! Have a marvelous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

Great inspiration for room design/treatment/philosophy.
Hi Stephen, Have a marvelous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Thank you very much Stephen. Have a peek at our website: www.soundandstructure.com - hopefully you'll see some other stuff that appeals!
wow i literally just put a dbx 266 before an amp using a ga pre 73 the other month. used a radial re-amp thank you very much.
Hi Joe, yes I'm thinking of trying that myself!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Produce Like A Pro
It makes a somewhat clean guitar guitar sound like the white stripes live. Makes me wonder... in any event- best thing ive ever "done" to an amp
Wonderful Joe!! Thanks very much for letting me know your experiences!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Great video Warren, all this studio room design sound is interesting, but I think that its more important to know your room, and reference with several monitors and headphones. But maybe that's just because I don't have an amazing room xD

I also use dbx 160 before the amp. It shaves the tone like beautiful beard. Especially useful with single coil pickups. I've also tried 1176 but dbx is better for the purpose

Hey Warren channel is growing and subscribers is more and more! Great job! Also would clip gain be okay to use as fader rides and does it act in the same way?
Hi Jon, thanks very much for your kind words!! Yes indeed, clip gain is great for automating vocals! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
if you had a choice of a budget bass and budget guitar what would they be?
43:39 what the hell is this man in the glass in the corner??? freaked me out! great interview, love guitars.
the studio is good and all, but whats that watch? looks great!
Haha the watch!! Have a marvelous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

That's a beautiful amount of dream gear, but I was hoping you guys would give the specs of that old-school Mac Pro... :C
Haha the Old Skool Mac Pro! Yes! I have a few of those myself laying around! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
the specs are: its a very old grandma of a computer, still running beautifully and supporting loads of plug ins! someday it will be fetishized like a tape machine.
Hi Taylor, yes my computer is hanging on by it's finger tips making great music!! Long may it live! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
He's sure got stuff packed in there, Gibson's all over, in every corner & amps & mic's.
Btw, private maybe but how did you get into the country to stay, work permission and all? It's not all to do that easy is it?
Hi rawstarmusic thanks for the great comment! I got work visas based on my success/resume etc. Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

Love Twin Peaks!! That brings back memories! Have a marvelous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Its a crime having that Kemper and not profiling those lovely vintage amps...

Hi Chuck, that's definitely a Taylor question! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Fathead, I think!

Actress Marlene Dietrich used (her own) special lighting setup for all her movies and promo pictures. This was copied by Madonna for her video Vogue

I have a friend that thought it was weird putting my mic in the case,but he's not working in the music industry to understand lol.
blood lord Idk if people even think about the dia, moving IF out of case? Not good for condensers or ribbon mic's tho to leave them out always.
Watchman4u
They could have been working on a track before the interview or are going to later on.
blood lord True I was speaking in general I've seen people do this myself they just stay up. I'll leave a 57 up thats about it the others stay in the cases till recording time then I'll leave em up for over dubs.…it add's to the vibe or not, haha
Great comments! Ultimately I leave mine up a lot! I'm tracking everyday, I also turn off my pres when I don't use them, so the mics aren't working.

Great fun ! And I have GAS now but thats ok. :)
You have gas? Haha Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Warren, you seem like a swell dude.
