i also watched him when he was talking with Dave Pensado. Really a unique personality that i would love to have as a friend, co- worker. He has some similarity to Larry David and other jewish people- that depth of detail and humanity - it makes others look formal and fake. For some reason i love jewish people ( Seinfeld, Ben Stiller , etc ) 3 Hours ? it' s gold. Will be a classic with 1 million views. Thanks !
This is just a brilliant interview and Warren has a knack to connect with JJP and audience on so many dimensions I will have to replay this video at least 5 times for all the concepts to sink in. One of the those is that of 'Preset Culture' which I think a good analogy would be the shift from analog 'don't touch anything' synths of the seventies to eightys digital synths. So right now we would be in the Vince Clark era...Preset Culture has yet to mature. Also I made a hardware plug in that produces that tight new roomy kick that came up in the conversation which I will be posting on my channel for anyone interested which could just be that next big thing.
JJP is a damn genius, the first hour of this interview has been like listening to Yoda on a mushroom trip weaving a tale of the past during an audio engineering masterclass in a hut at burning man.
Hi Friends, it’s such a privilege to be able to interview Jack Joseph Puig. J.J.P. Has made some of the best sounding albums ever. As you know we talked with Roger Manning extensively about the Jellyfish albums that JJP made and we waxed lyrically about how incredible they sounded! Who would you like to hear from next?
Jesus Christ that left me speechless. First time I ever found myself clapping alone in my room while this interview wrapped up. Simply the most well rounded and level headed interview I've ever seen in the audio world. Very powerful and affirming...makes you feel reassured that you're on the right path, and for the right reasons. "The day you wake up and feel like going to the beach, that's the day your career is over.."-JJP I couldn't have summed it up any better.
James Hal wow! What a wonderful comment! That really means a lot to me my friend! I agree, when you get to talk to people you admire and they reaffirm things you have felt and believe it’s incredibly rewarding!!
The way that JJP talks and i bet he lives the same, will help him reach over 100 years old. Slow and calculated, not a bit of inpatience or anger. Wisdom. He is the wisdom of mixing. Dave Pensado is the wizard of mixing. Manny Marokin is the proudest of mixing, Tony Maseratti is the machine of mixing, CLA is the illusionist of mixing, Warren Huart is the joy of mixing.
I will always say Mr Puig’s work on Weezer’s Pinkerton is the most perfect mix for any record. It’s not hifi or clean, but its grittiness and overt saturation just perfectly matches the tone of the songs. The man is nothing short of a genius.
Gotta say that, these interviews are priceless. Usually people do 10 - 20 min interviews and try to make it entertaining for the viewer making it "inorganic". Warren however just manages to make it super casual and honest, as if he's having a discussion in the morning with a cup of coffee... I guess the same profession and interests make the chemistry go through the roof and that makes him guide the discussion well. Can't thank you enough for these videos :)
imagine if at the end of this conversation, you realize that nothing was recorded. What a lost would have been ! i will watch it at least a few times. It sounds like a private conversation that we shouldn't be lucky enough to hear and learn from it. What a gift ! Thanks !
Ha !!! I did a vocal track a few weeks ago... Warmed up my voice on the way to the studio (10 minute drive), played trombone and trumpet for 30 minutes to get my “air, buzz, relax” going. Sang the song first an octave lower to get the vibe, timing, and again warm up. Finally ready, I kicked the crap out of it, sang the song about 5 times...saved, went home, started to mix and realized that the interface had never engaged and all that work ended up being recorded by the internal mic on my computer. Aaaaarrrrgggghhh !!! I haven’t had the heart to go back and try to sing that song again. And it’s weird because I ALWAYS do a quick listen back, but for some stupid reason I didn’t that day.
God bless you for doing this Warren, and a big thanks to Jack for his time and all the incredible sounding records he's given us. What sage like knowledge this man has. This may just be the crown jewel of your interviews.
I think that this is a lot more than just a great interview, in fact the best interview so far.........this should be part of a class for musicians, producers, engineers etc. ''Life is music, music is life''. Big thanks!!
It would be fantastic if you get an interview with Jimmy Page. Guitarist, producer and probably the only artist/producer with the mastertapes still in his possession. That would be a treat Warren. Two English gentlemen talking over a cup of tea. Brian May will do as well 😊 By the way, is Mr Puig a vampire. Quite dark in there. Good for your eyes though. Great interview and a cozy studio.
This may be the best conversation you've recorded yet Warren, and not just for producers and engineers. All musicians would benefit from listening, especially to the discussion of artist development. Thanks to both of you!
I was in one of those Christian Bands that JJP talked about when he worked at Martin Sound in the mid 70's. We locked out the small studio "B" and JJP would drop in often to talk and check things out. He was a great guy even back then. I have always followed his career (from a distance) and am still amazed at how great an engineer, producer and humble person he has become. Thanks for the in-depth interview. Took me back to some old memories -- as well learning so much new.
15 minutes in and my goosebumps have goosebumps. So enjoying the lessons JJP is sharing. Just finished a break here and headed back in. Gonna catch the rest of this tonight. Thanks Warren and thank YOU Jack Joseph Puig!
Unreal! The way JJP almost swaps the role with Warren, listening ever so carefully to what he has to say. Trying to learn from him, never thinking he's the main "character" here... very humble and nice. He relaxes Warren into opening up and telling us a lot more than we would have learnt if JJP was the only one answering questions here... Best 3 hours I've spent in front of my laptop in a long time. Thank you!
I’m a doctor, I’ve been doing what Jack does for 40 years. Adapting. Like no two songs, no two patients are ever the same . Some need more compression, some less and some 2. Only practice tells you which. I bought Jack’s Puigchild compressor from waves and used it exclusively on everything for about 1 month. It was only when I moved to another compressor that I knew what the Puigchild did. I use one drug on someone for arthritis, it doesn’t work. A similar drug does. Why? Who knows? After a while ( about 10 years) the history from the patient influences your first choice ever more accurately. Time is the conqueror, but also the teacher.
The reassuring thing about JJP, is that if you asked him if he wanted to help you record something, he seems like the type of guy to ask what you had in mind and actually help you. No questions about price, no question about publicity or credits, he would just hop right in and get busy with you. A true character. Ahead of his time. Thank you Warren, amazing work as always.
Philosopher come engineer/producer, I've watched this many times and 'instinct over intellect' is probably THE best advice from anyone I've ever heard, I always knew it.
OMG, it's hard to compress the effect this interview had on me. First of all thank you Warren for sharing this with us. Thank you Jack for taking the time; hearing you speak to the value of music and the creative aspect of making music was one of the most inspirational conversations I've ever heard. I'm filled with gratitude. Thank you both both so much.
SO inspiring hearing you two talking... That's exactly the kind of reality check I needed today, being in the middle of a big struggle trying to finish a really complicated project involving me as a an arranger and a recording, editing and mixing engineer... Of course, that wasn't supposed to happened... A million thanks for that! Have a really wonderful day! :-D
What a fantastic interview. Really enjoyed this one Warren. What an interesting guy to listen too. Kept looking at all the gear In the background. Amazing. This is my favourite interview. This guy talks so much truth about music. How we all, associate music with events that happen in our lives. I'm an 80s man, to me... Its the best music in the world.
I could listen to JJP talk about mixing, recording, music, and life in general all day. Which is why I’m watching this for the 3rd time. So inspirational. Every time I hear him talk I want to run into the studio.
Tough call but I have to say that this is my favourite produce like a pro interview ever. If not one of my favourite interviews ever. Two inspirational guys with great philosophies. More of this please Warren. Top man!
One of my top regrets in life was not taking the opportunity to assist/intern for JJP in 1999. As a working engineer and mixer today I can see from this interview that my path would have been fast tracked. This is great stuff as well as his MMW vids.! Thanks Mr. Huart.
“The accident factor” The reason why the most favorite of favorite albums are based on how well we “listen” to making music not on how we “know” how to make music.
This is probably the most informative interview on music production creation I have ever heard. Such a powerful and moving dialogue that goes beyond the tech and gets to the core of why we all love music. Thank you Warren for this magical conversation!!!! It inspires and delivers so many gold nuggets of knowledge!!! Well done!!!!
Mind opener... JJP is not only a great producer but a great visionary and philosopher as well! Gotta share this... Thank you for this interview Warren&Co !
Warren, your output is phenomenal, always enjoyable and informative. But this 3 hour video is just at another level. Whatever there was to say - emanating from either of you - was debated and explored beyond gear and geekery right into the heart and philosophy of music making, human interaction and society. And just how many quotable words of wisdom does JJP have?!? Your best yet, sir, and hands down right up there with the very best discussions about music in the ether. Bravo
Thanks so much Warren. You are just so on fire at the moment with these interviews - Jack Douglas and JJP - these were practically life changing for me because they were all about insight, not just information. i started recording at home in about 1985/6 on a 4-track Tascam portastudio (4 track to cassette tape). In New Zealand then the only time I ever even got to read a copy of Sound on Sound (and didn't even know it existed before) was because the band i did live sound for spent $10,000 to make 3 songs in a major studio and they had a library of imported mags like that. No internet, just about no books, no music documentaries - i'm sure most younger people have no idea what a blessing your interviews are and what it used to take to scour meagre resources to learn a tiny fraction of what was covered today. And how generous for JJP to spend 3 hrs sharing. Let me know if you're up for a knighthood - I'll vote for you. Thanks Sir Warren.
This episode is a gem. J.J.P. is awesome. I love his philosophy and the way he talks about his profession. And thank you Warren for all the things you share with us. There are so many channels that teach how to mix a kick drum or heavy guitars. Just a couple deal with a broader view on mixing. Only very few give deep insights to the art of music production on each level to show the complete picture. Your channel is definitely one of the very few ones.
I've just watched this again to be sure I've absorbed it all. I'm saving it so I can come back to it when needed. This was frigg'n beautiful. My already massive respect for JJP has just quadrupled.
Thank you for this. I first heard JPP outside of his sonic work via Pensado’s place. His words on the midrange changed my entire perception of mixing, AND listening to music in general. I’m 40 and now I have a whole other life to hear the sounds of music differently.
Saw there was a JJP interview - excited. Saw it was 3h long - didn't think I'd watch more than 20 minutes. Have now watched the full thing three times.........! Excellent excellent stuff :-)
A Truly great interview, Warren. What a fantastic discussion with JJP. JellyFish's albums, "Bellybutton" and "Spilt Milk" are two of my favorite albums, largely in part due to the sound, texture and tone of these albums. They are true engineering and production masterpieces. Listening to JJP has been one of the most interesting videos I have ever seen on the subject. Just listen to Bellybutton's "That Is Why". The feeling JJP is talking about, is within the sound of that song, in spades. Just awesome.
This episode especially was like a Full English Breakfast, not one spot on the palette left dry or unaccounted for, left feeling total inspiration to create & work. Thank You Warren, and Thank You Jack Joseph Puig, may God bless You Both and Your Family's Always. Nowhere else except here on "Produce Like A Pro" do we get the true essence of what it is to be alive & feel the need to create, and with real guidance and lessons about ways to do it, whilst having a "Marvelous Time".
It’s like listening to Neil Peart speak. Always love hearing JJP. I knew this wouldn’t be a super technical and nerdy one but definitely the most inspiring. What they’re saying about our lifestyle and marriages and love life is so true too. Imagine being the TOURING audio guy, our family/love life’s are even worse 😨
Grounding yourself in the present moment, where mind becomes an instrument/tool that you use at the right time, is the mastery Jack is talking about. Real solid discussion, this man is awesome!
Was listening for an hour and bummed that I thought the interview was almost over, then I looked and there were 2 hours left! yeahhh! What an amazing interview!
omg, omg, JJP! RIP, netflix, i'll bingewatch the hell out of this. Thank you once again so much, Warren. May the new Strat always ring with twang and silk.
14:35 Wow this is some powerful stuff from mister Puig. I was thinking couple days ago about how my instinct become much stronger since I pay attention to it more, and I do not pay attention to my intellect anymore. Sometimes instinct will tell me lower that sound by 2,3db, or don't use that synth use the other one, don't take that project you will waste your time etc. Almost 99% of the time I will ask myself how do I make that sound, and in couple of days instinct will guide me and I will make that sound by itself, I will accidentally find fx or preset that i was looking for. And instinct will never spoke to you in the words, that is intellect, you will only feel instinct. But in the beginning it is so silent that you really need to listen and pay attention in order to catch that sense, and after time instinct will become much stronger and it will come to you by itself. This is so true, this is my experience.
What an absolute marathon of an interview! Before watching this, my favourite videos had been the Michael Beinhorn stuff, love that guy. This was something else though, just wow - mesmerising! He talks so much sense and leaves no stone unturned. His name should be the definition of thorough. Unassuming, humble, thoughtful, very rare in a guy of his stature - so great to see. So much content here, it took me 3 sittings to watch the whole thing, there was just so much to take in and comprehend. Excellent! Thanks for this Wazza & co. - very inspiring...
Thank goodness someone is making the argument that sound matters in mobile and home devices. The sound is pretty bad right now. I watch youtube on my pc through real speakers..lol
I'm 6 minutes in of what appears to be a 3 hour vid. Here in JJP's alladin's cave of musical wonderment, already excited like a kid! And, I'm no kid. This man's Wikipeadia entry is basically a huge list; page upon page, of artists and their music. That's fine, I don't really want to gather info like that, I want to hear what JJ has to say. Thank you both
This guy and you Warren go down the rabbit hole of life using words, I believe about the best one can… to try and point at something ( music and how it makes us feel) better than any one I’ve heard…🙏🏼🙏🏼
That was fantastic! Thank you for this. I was riveted for the duration. Plus, I watched it immediately after watching your other video with the studio tour of Jack's studio. It was like a 5 hour Jack Joseph Puig marathon. I'm very lucky to have had Jack mic my drums live back in the mid seventies. Then, soon after that, my first time in a pro studio, I was at Whitney Studios where Jack recorded the band I was playing in. The sound on the drums was just plain amazing. Of course, I was very serious about my drum sound even back then. And my drums sounded great to begin with. I remember he used 57's on the snare and toms. It was an Ampex 16 or 24 track machine. I can't say that I've ever got as good a recorded drum sound as that. They were big and fat sounding. Very saturated dry. And very 70's R&B. Anyhow, I agree with the other comments here. I love the depth of this interview and the emphasis on the creative aspects. The art. And the personal cost. So inspiring. I'll definitely watch it again.
28:35 is music to my ears! As a piano/keyboard player I'm always saying that the bass note can dictate how a chord sounds, in fact if you play an octave bass on a piano the upper note is really part of the chord itself. The left hand of a piano player is underrated as a link between the bass and the guitar, a single note can make a huge difference. 😎
just the first 10 minutes were already mind blowing. Now I know why I love pop so much, it's much more "German" and organized, just like classical music :)
A wealth of sound-bite treasures. Incredible interview. Priceless wisdom. Simple words of thank you cannot be enough for what one can gain from listening to this intimate conversation.
![Overcoming the Fears of Mixing with Michael Brauer [SSP #020]](/img/1.gif)
JJP is more a preacher than „just“ an engineer. What an incredibly humble and inspiring man. Thanks for this, Warren.
Hi Mike Luke absolutely!! I learned so much!!
Crushi! .Music, Art & Love. Thanks ever so much!!
i also watched him when he was talking with Dave Pensado. Really a unique personality that i would love to have as a friend, co- worker. He has some similarity to Larry David and other jewish people- that depth of detail and humanity - it makes others look formal and fake. For some reason i love jewish people ( Seinfeld, Ben Stiller , etc ) 3 Hours ? it' s gold. Will be a classic with 1 million views. Thanks !
This is just a brilliant interview and Warren has a knack to connect with JJP and audience on so many dimensions I will have to replay this video at least 5 times for all the concepts to sink in. One of the those is that of 'Preset Culture' which I think a good analogy would be the shift from analog 'don't touch anything' synths of the seventies to eightys digital synths. So right now we would be in the Vince Clark era...Preset Culture has yet to mature. Also I made a hardware plug in that produces that tight new roomy kick that came up in the conversation which I will be posting on my channel for anyone interested which could just be that next big thing.
Didn’t he cheat with Roger Hodgson’s wife though?
JJP is a damn genius, the first hour of this interview has been like listening to Yoda on a mushroom trip weaving a tale of the past during an audio engineering masterclass in a hut at burning man.
😂😂😂
best f***** comment on RUclips lolol 😂 🍄🍄
Hi Friends, it’s such a privilege to be able to interview Jack Joseph Puig. J.J.P. Has made some of the best sounding albums ever. As you know we talked with Roger Manning extensively about the Jellyfish albums that JJP made and we waxed lyrically about how incredible they sounded! Who would you like to hear from next?
CLA, Jaquire King and Michael Brauer pls! :D
Greg Wells, please. Or Eric Valentine.
Ken Andrews
Rick Beato
Is Bob Rock reachable?
Bob Power would be cool
Trent Reznor
Jesus Christ that left me speechless. First time I ever found myself clapping alone in my room while this interview wrapped up. Simply the most well rounded and level headed interview I've ever seen in the audio world. Very powerful and affirming...makes you feel reassured that you're on the right path, and for the right reasons.
"The day you wake up and feel like going to the beach, that's the day your career is over.."-JJP
I couldn't have summed it up any better.
James Hal wow! What a wonderful comment! That really means a lot to me my friend! I agree, when you get to talk to people you admire and they reaffirm things you have felt and believe it’s incredibly rewarding!!
The way that JJP talks and i bet he lives the same, will help him reach over 100 years old. Slow and calculated, not a bit of inpatience or anger. Wisdom. He is the wisdom of mixing. Dave Pensado is the wizard of mixing. Manny Marokin is the proudest of mixing, Tony Maseratti is the machine of mixing, CLA is the illusionist of mixing, Warren Huart is the joy of mixing.
Me too🙌
Two extremely talented and wise persons in one video. I am mind blown. Thank you both.
I will always say Mr Puig’s work on Weezer’s Pinkerton is the most perfect mix for any record. It’s not hifi or clean, but its grittiness and overt saturation just perfectly matches the tone of the songs. The man is nothing short of a genius.
Hi A.D Fairhurst yes, truly amazing album!
Begged for JJP on multiple posts and here he is. This rules, Warren + gang.
Hi Dave Schjolden glad to be able help my friend! I loved doing this video!
Gotta say that, these interviews are priceless.
Usually people do 10 - 20 min interviews and try to make it entertaining for the viewer making it "inorganic". Warren however just manages to make it super casual and honest, as if he's having a discussion in the morning with a cup of coffee... I guess the same profession and interests make the chemistry go through the roof and that makes him guide the discussion well.
Can't thank you enough for these videos :)
Thanks ever so much! Yes, I really enjoy doing in-depth and long interviews!!
imagine if at the end of this conversation, you realize that nothing was recorded. What a lost would have been ! i will watch it at least a few times. It sounds like a private conversation that we shouldn't be lucky enough to hear and learn from it. What a gift ! Thanks !

That's amazing to hear Jake!!
I think that this is a lot more than just a great interview, in fact the best interview so far.........this should be part of a class for musicians, producers, engineers etc. ''Life is music, music is life''. Big thanks!!
JJP hit the nail on the head immediately: The question is not "how" but "why." Fantastic!
Glasswall Studio “Give a man a why and he will go through almost any how”.... Friedrich Nietzsche. So true!
This is the content you can't get anywhere else. There's so much information and wisdom in these videos. Thank you thank you thank you Warren!
Me: "3 hours?? Oh damn, I'm gonna have to do this one in episodes."
Also me, 3 hours later: "Well, there goes my day. I guess laundry can wait."
Nordic Synths haha I’ve been there myself! It felt like that while I was there! We spent the day at JJP’s and it was truly inspiring!
Man I would love to see his studio. You must have been beat after a long day like that, it looks like this interview was at night.
It would be fantastic if you get an interview with Jimmy Page. Guitarist, producer and probably the only artist/producer with the mastertapes still in his possession. That would be a treat Warren. Two English gentlemen talking over a cup of tea. Brian May will do as well 😊 By the way, is Mr Puig a vampire. Quite dark in there. Good for your eyes though. Great interview and a cozy studio.
Amazing
Well, that only makes the "blinkenlightzen" that much more visible x)
If he got an interview with Jimmy Page I would die.
This may be the best conversation you've recorded yet Warren, and not just for producers and engineers. All musicians would benefit from listening, especially to the discussion of artist development. Thanks to both of you!

He got a lot jobs, he can allow himself this kind of behaviour
Philosopher come engineer/producer, I've watched this many times and 'instinct over intellect' is probably THE best advice from anyone I've ever heard, I always knew it.
Thanks to both of these wise men for letting me be a fly on the wall during this interview.
Aw shucks! Thanks ever so much
OMG, it's hard to compress the effect this interview had on me. First of all thank you Warren for sharing this with us. Thank you Jack for taking the time; hearing you speak to the value of music and the creative aspect of making music was one of the most inspirational conversations I've ever heard. I'm filled with gratitude. Thank you both both so much.
SO inspiring hearing you two talking... That's exactly the kind of reality check I needed today, being in the middle of a big struggle trying to finish a really complicated project involving me as a an arranger and a recording, editing and mixing engineer... Of course, that wasn't supposed to happened... A million thanks for that! Have a really wonderful day! :-D
Hi Claudius I really enjoyed this interview! I learned so much!!
I haven't even watched this yet, but 3 hrs with JJP - you know there is gonna be a lot of good content!
Great stuff Jerry!!
What a fantastic interview. Really enjoyed this one Warren. What an interesting guy to listen too. Kept looking at all the gear In the background. Amazing.
This is my favourite interview. This guy talks so much truth about music. How we all, associate music with events that happen in our lives. I'm an 80s man, to me... Its the best music in the world.
I could listen to JJP talk about mixing, recording, music, and life in general all day. Which is why I’m watching this for the 3rd time. So inspirational. Every time I hear him talk I want to run into the studio.
Tough call but I have to say that this is my favourite produce like a pro interview ever. If not one of my favourite interviews ever. Two inspirational guys with great philosophies. More of this please Warren. Top man!
Incredible I’m speechless and inspired by this level of greatness
One of my top regrets in life was not taking the opportunity to assist/intern for JJP in 1999. As a working engineer and mixer today I can see from this interview that my path would have been fast tracked. This is great stuff as well as his MMW vids.! Thanks Mr. Huart.
I'm only an hour into this interview so far and am blown away.
Amazing!!
Same here 👌
He is totally crazy in a positive way..very intelligent/clever. I love such people!
Tone Hammer yes, me too! I’m very inspired to talk to people like JJP! Intelligence and passion for ones craft is highly contagious!
JJP talks like a preacher and I would fill his pews every week if I could!
I agree 100%!! I'm so glad to be able to help! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
This is such an incredible interview. Jack has so much perspective. I feel like I’m sitting at the feet of a master.
To me, this is the most inspiring interview you've ever done, Warren. Thanks to you and to Jack Joseph Puig.
One of the best interviews I have viewed. Spacious,calm and intellectual. Thanks much for this.
“The accident factor” The reason why the most favorite of favorite albums are based on how well we “listen” to making music not on how we “know” how to make music.
I hope someone wrote all this down. I think I just listened to the complete syllabus outline for a collegiate recording program.
Hi James Schaffner thanks ever so much!! You Rock!!
One of the greatest conversations about record making I’ve ever heard.
Love the way JJP thinks and expresses himself.. maybe may favorite producer to listen to ever?!
Yes, JJP is incredibly knowledgeable!! Truly a blessing!
This is probably the most informative interview on music production creation I have ever heard. Such a powerful and moving dialogue that goes beyond the tech and gets to the core of why we all love music. Thank you Warren for this magical conversation!!!! It inspires and delivers so many gold nuggets of knowledge!!! Well done!!!!
Wow, thank you! Thanks ever so much!
This is the best Three hours I have every spent on ANY RUclips channel ! Thank you both so much for the information. Priceless !
I rarely watch RUclips videos that are an hour or longer... and I didn't miss a second of this one. Great job.
Thanks ever so much! I was enthralled by JJP, I learned so much!
Jack is such a character! Thoroughly enjoying this interview.
Thanks ever is much!! Yes, JJP rules!
First time I've heard "it needs more hum"
maybe it attracts the butterfly to it...gotta give the artist what they need to create
Going to grab my popcorn and drink for this one! So awesome!
Mind opener... JJP is not only a great producer but a great visionary and philosopher as well! Gotta share this... Thank you for this interview Warren&Co !
Hi MalcolmTyrell I agree 100%! I learned so much!!
MalcolmTyrell PS thanks for sharing!!
Warren, your output is phenomenal, always enjoyable and informative. But this 3 hour video is just at another level. Whatever there was to say - emanating from either of you - was debated and explored beyond gear and geekery right into the heart and philosophy of music making, human interaction and society. And just how many quotable words of wisdom does JJP have?!? Your best yet, sir, and hands down right up there with the very best discussions about music in the ether. Bravo
“Let God in the room” - man, I love that!
Thanks so much Warren. You are just so on fire at the moment with these interviews - Jack Douglas and JJP - these were practically life changing for me because they were all about insight, not just information. i started recording at home in about 1985/6 on a 4-track Tascam portastudio (4 track to cassette tape). In New Zealand then the only time I ever even got to read a copy of Sound on Sound (and didn't even know it existed before) was because the band i did live sound for spent $10,000 to make 3 songs in a major studio and they had a library of imported mags like that. No internet, just about no books, no music documentaries - i'm sure most younger people have no idea what a blessing your interviews are and what it used to take to scour meagre resources to learn a tiny fraction of what was covered today. And how generous for JJP to spend 3 hrs sharing. Let me know if you're up for a knighthood - I'll vote for you. Thanks Sir Warren.
This is one of the best interviews I have ever seen. Thanks Warren and JJP
3 years later im still watching this and still learning something new
That’s wonderful to hear!
This episode is a gem. J.J.P. is awesome. I love his philosophy and the way he talks about his profession.
And thank you Warren for all the things you share with us. There are so many channels that teach how to mix a kick drum or heavy guitars. Just a couple deal with a broader view on mixing. Only very few give deep insights to the art of music production on each level to show the complete picture. Your channel is definitely one of the very few ones.
I've just watched this again to be sure I've absorbed it all. I'm saving it so I can come back to it when needed. This was frigg'n beautiful. My already massive respect for JJP has just quadrupled.
Congrats on Warren for being quiet when he needed to be and letting JJP get it all out there with minimal interruption.
Thank you for this. I first heard JPP outside of his sonic work via Pensado’s place. His words on the midrange changed my entire perception of mixing, AND listening to music in general. I’m 40 and now I have a whole other life to hear the sounds of music differently.
This conversation is pure gold. Amazing!
Saw there was a JJP interview - excited. Saw it was 3h long - didn't think I'd watch more than 20 minutes. Have now watched the full thing three times.........! Excellent excellent stuff :-)
Thanks ever so much Joe!! Really glad you enjoyed the interview!!
WOW, I did not expect to find a spiritual teacher here. Mr Puig, you're simply amazing. Thanks Warren Huart for this one (and all the others) !!
Hi foxy TV you’re very welcome my friend!!
Hi foxy TV yes! I learned so much!!
I return to interviews like this one- every year.
Wow! Thanks ever so much
Warren this discussion with JJ Puig was brilliant! Very insightful, my favorite interview so far. Thank you so much for doing these!
Thanks ever so much!! Yes, I really enjoyed talking to JJP!
Wonderful interview and discussion. I loved how real he is about the industry and what it really takes to do well!
This guy speaks to the mysticism of music, and I love it
Me too!!
A Truly great interview, Warren. What a fantastic discussion with JJP. JellyFish's albums, "Bellybutton" and "Spilt Milk" are two of my favorite albums, largely in part due to the sound, texture and tone of these albums. They are true engineering and production masterpieces. Listening to JJP has been one of the most interesting videos I have ever seen on the subject. Just listen to Bellybutton's "That Is Why". The feeling JJP is talking about, is within the sound of that song, in spades. Just awesome.
Thanks JJP & Warren.
This episode especially was like a Full English Breakfast, not one spot on the palette left dry or unaccounted for, left feeling total inspiration to create & work.
Thank You Warren, and Thank You Jack Joseph Puig, may God bless You Both and Your Family's Always.
Nowhere else except here on "Produce Like A Pro" do we get the true essence of what it is to be alive & feel the need to create, and with real guidance and lessons about ways to do it, whilst having a "Marvelous Time".
I love Love LOVE the sound of the Puigchild! Well done Jack! Thank you for this interview Warren!
This is what the podcast should be like
Inspirational. I'm so grateful that people come to you when you need them. The deeper parts of this interview speak to me. Thank you
The preset generation is amazingly grateful for these words
It’s like listening to Neil Peart speak. Always love hearing JJP. I knew this wouldn’t be a super technical and nerdy one but definitely the most inspiring.
What they’re saying about our lifestyle and marriages and love life is so true too. Imagine being the TOURING audio guy, our family/love life’s are even worse 😨
I use the Puigchild on almost every mix and Master. This Guy is the Real Deal.
Yes! He’s truly amazing
This was amazing! Another truly interesting and educational interview Warren. Thanks for helping us grow musically.
Such a a powerful conversation. Under 100k views is absurd.
You’re very kind! Thanks ever so much
Grounding yourself in the present moment, where mind becomes an instrument/tool that you use at the right time, is the mastery Jack is talking about. Real solid discussion, this man is awesome!
this is simply amazing!!! The best ever!!! thank you for doing this interview!
by far the best interview to date, thanks Warren
Thanks ever so much Greg!!
Was listening for an hour and bummed that I thought the interview was almost over, then I looked and there were 2 hours left! yeahhh! What an amazing interview!
having a 3 hour long video is quite rock'n'roll. Thank you Warren
How can anyone 'not like' this video man!?! Insightful and inspiring, thank you.
Just 1 word....amazing! I could listen to the 2 of you talk all day. Truly inspiring ! Thanks ever so much Warren and of course JJP !
matthias slabbaert Thanks ever so much! Yes, it was an incredible experience with JJP!
omg, omg, JJP! RIP, netflix, i'll bingewatch the hell out of this. Thank you once again so much, Warren. May the new Strat always ring with twang and silk.
i could have listened to three more hours of this. thank you both for taking the time and sharing your experiences, wisdom and humility!
Hi shayeasy I’m excited to do more with JJP! Huge talent!
14:35 Wow this is some powerful stuff from mister Puig.
I was thinking couple days ago about how my instinct become much stronger since I pay attention to it more, and I do not pay attention to my intellect anymore.
Sometimes instinct will tell me lower that sound by 2,3db, or don't use that synth use the other one, don't take that project you will waste your time etc. Almost 99% of the time I will ask myself how do I make that sound, and in couple of days instinct will guide me and I will make that sound by itself, I will accidentally find fx or preset that i was looking for.
And instinct will never spoke to you in the words, that is intellect, you will only feel instinct. But in the beginning it is so silent that you really need to listen and pay attention in order to catch that sense, and after time instinct will become much stronger and it will come to you by itself.
This is so true, this is my experience.
What an absolute marathon of an interview! Before watching this, my favourite videos had been the Michael Beinhorn stuff, love that guy. This was something else though, just wow - mesmerising!
He talks so much sense and leaves no stone unturned. His name should be the definition of thorough. Unassuming, humble, thoughtful, very rare in a guy of his stature - so great to see.
So much content here, it took me 3 sittings to watch the whole thing, there was just so much to take in and comprehend. Excellent!
Thanks for this Wazza & co. - very inspiring...
The preset generation! Right on! Thanks for documenting this body of information.
You're very welcome!!
One of the most valuable interviews for me!
Thank goodness someone is making the argument that sound matters in mobile and home devices.
The sound is pretty bad right now. I watch youtube on my pc through real speakers..lol
Geez. What a wonderful interview, Warren. I love the quote "Let God In The Room". Such an insightful man. Impressive :)
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it
@@Producelikeapro *Yea Baby - LET GOD IN THE ROOM !!!*
JJP is a real OG man. Love Him
I'm 6 minutes in of what appears to be a 3 hour vid. Here in JJP's alladin's cave of musical wonderment, already excited like a kid! And, I'm no kid. This man's Wikipeadia entry is basically a huge list; page upon page, of artists and their music. That's fine, I don't really want to gather info like that, I want to hear what JJ has to say. Thank you both
Wow, that 3 hour video went fast! Looking forward to more with JJP. You guys rock.
Wow! Thanks ever so much Dan!!
This guy and you Warren go down the rabbit hole of life using words, I believe about the best one can… to try and point at something ( music and how it makes us feel) better than any one I’ve heard…🙏🏼🙏🏼
best interview of the history of the channel
That was fantastic! Thank you for this. I was riveted for the duration. Plus, I watched it immediately after watching your other video with the studio tour of Jack's studio. It was like a 5 hour Jack Joseph Puig marathon. I'm very lucky to have had Jack mic my drums live back in the mid seventies. Then, soon after that, my first time in a pro studio, I was at Whitney Studios where Jack recorded the band I was playing in. The sound on the drums was just plain amazing. Of course, I was very serious about my drum sound even back then. And my drums sounded great to begin with. I remember he used 57's on the snare and toms. It was an Ampex 16 or 24 track machine. I can't say that I've ever got as good a recorded drum sound as that. They were big and fat sounding. Very saturated dry. And very 70's R&B. Anyhow, I agree with the other comments here. I love the depth of this interview and the emphasis on the creative aspects. The art. And the personal cost. So inspiring. I'll definitely watch it again.
28:35 is music to my ears! As a piano/keyboard player I'm always saying that the bass note can dictate how a chord sounds, in fact if you play an octave bass on a piano the upper note is really part of the chord itself. The left hand of a piano player is underrated as a link between the bass and the guitar, a single note can make a huge difference. 😎
just the first 10 minutes were already mind blowing. Now I know why I love pop so much, it's much more "German" and organized, just like classical music :)
A wealth of sound-bite treasures. Incredible interview. Priceless wisdom. Simple words of thank you cannot be enough for what one can gain from listening to this intimate conversation.
Great informal viewing. Thanks Warren and JJP😉😉
Thanks ever so much Adam!!
