I followed Bobby's building instructions as exactly as I could, and using Rock Wool built 15 baffles and 3 corner bass traps to his specs . I mix from a position 37% from the front wall and now have a Zero Reflection Zone to mix in every day. It is a JOY. Thank-you Bobby.
Was a studio engineer for 15 years,loudness wars done my head in,destroyed music.It was a Pandora's box,once opened there was no going back.I think its the elephant in the room for most engineers. Favourite period in music was late 70s early 80s,sonic perfection.
Warren, I can't believe the people you've been interviewing lately, it's phenomenal! Always great to listen in on pros talk about these topics. Thanks as always!
I love the candid conversations you have with your guests. You can’t put a price on this kind of chat. Engineers in 2018 are BLESSED to have these as reference. Thanks so much, Warren. 🙏🏻🤘🏻
I've know Bobby for 19 years. He actually said my room was one of the best sounding rooms. He was an a great mentor to me when I first started in LA. I asked him, and had him come listen to my room over and over. And he came. Such a great friend and amazing mentor
Great conversation about room acoustics. For a guy mixing in a room in his house though? Treat the front, back, and side walls. Treat the side walls at "eye level" of your monitor speakers. Treat the ceiling directly overhead of your usual mixing position. If your floor is tile or wood, get an area rug. Once this is completed, spend a lot of time getting to know your room. Play back some music through your monitors and use a parametric EQ as you sweep through the frequencies, boosting and cutting to give you a good idea of how your room sounds.
Having a home studio, I have learned what good reference mixes sound like in my room and I also use spectrum analyzers and other meters to get a visual of both my mixes and the reference mixes. That is how I found some bad low end which after getting rid of, my mix was better on other systems even though after the adjustment I could not hear the difference in my room. I began recording in the late 60’s but learned so much more after discovering Bobby Owsinski’s books and video courses. I recommend them to everyone who asks me how they can get better at recording, mixing and mastering.
Very nice to watch.Two intelligent audio engineers talking about the craft.This reminds me that the audio mixing/mastering is a not only an art form but a whole culture.Keep it up Warren!!!Cheers!
Bobby was one of my instructors at Trebas Institute of Recording Arts in the early 90s. He was one of the few I remember learning anything useful from. I was later his assistant engineer on a record for a band that I think was call Black 47 (it was a long time ago). Glad to see him still in the game. Good dude.
Awsome Episode. Great thought about 1980 as well. To me 1980 - 1983 is one the best periods of music. Productions during that were a great symbiosis of real instruments and electronics, with a perfect sonic sweet spot. From on 1984 productions went on going to sound too exaggerated. Queen's The Game is one of m fav albums too.
I followed a lot of Bobby's advice when putting my studio together. I didn't spend $150 it was way more then that because it was time to. I'm still spending money on it in regards to treatment and getting the room to sound better. He is a great resource for that.
Great Mr Owsinski! I have read his 3 books (Recording Engineer's Handbook, Mixing Engineer's Handbook and Mastering Engineer's Handbook) so many times and I still come to them. Thank you Warren for such a great guest!
21:35 was such a great point. I miss the honesty that old school recording demanded of each musician to nail their performance, that it couldn't be "fixed" later. That mentality pushed so many musicians to the best performances of their lives and is lost upon the digital generation of engineers.
Wow Warren! I just stumbled on this one. Bring Bobby back for more! I never met him face-to-face, but he's a great guy! He's super nice, and he's always willing to help. Thank you again!
I enjoyed this 2-way conversation. You both were inquisitive and open to each other's views, ideas and techniques. That's very helpful to us out here listening as neither of you had a "better" or "best" way of crafting your individual sounds. Thanks to you, both
9:30 Yes, our voiceover studio needs are unique and mis-understood by many studio designers. That's why I specialize in these spaces. Love Bobby O's nonsense, spot on advice!
Spent the last six months following Bobby's tips in building my studio and it's both sounding, and looking, fab. Thanks to Bobby and Warren for this great chat and looking forward to the 'all day' sesh. ;)
So disappointed with this interview... it was too short!!! Loved listening to you guys just talking, bouncing off each other with true respect and admiration. Not only for yourselves, but music and the craft and art of production as well! Loved it!
To good. Thanks you Both. I am just starting my studio with upper mid Equipment in my new box lots of horsepower. Acoustic Fields blaw blaw Mixing & Mastering youtube. 6 years in the making.
Gentlemen! What an amazing conversation. I’m making this required content for my 17 year old nephew whom I’m currently mentoring in all things audio. If I had access to this calibre of conversation when I was just getting started two decades ago! Man - so many gems! Thx to the both of you for such a rich discourse (not to mention, Masterclass!). To many more! 👍🏼
I'm looking forward to the video of you both talking all day :-) What a wonderful chat! Not only informative, but insightful and philosophical, too. Thanks to you both!
What a great conversation! Not even half way through, and already I've learned a half-dozen things that will 1) improve my mixes and (2) save me money! THANKS!
Wow. Another terrific interview. I want these people to be my friends. I learn a lot from these, and I have a lot of fun pretending I'm there with you guys. Like I said in another interview video of yours: archive these for posterity. There's so much here, and we get to meet wonderful people. Thanks!!!
Bobby's presentation on room treatment taught me so much! i love it when intelligent people get together and talk realistically about the effect of rooms, speakers, placement and their vast experience. really liked the section were warren talked about the benefits of outsourcing the mastering, and getting feedback on your mixes that way! brilliant. would have never thought of it on my lonesome! Great video- thanks Warren and Bobby!
I really agree with that last remark on mixing of genres! Great video. Always fun to watch people talk about topics that they are knowledgeable and passionate of.
HI Warren, Bobby, thank you very much for this discussion as always i learn lots from them, its amazing to be able to look into your worlds, thanks again for your time and knowledge, all the best, yours, Darren Ross.
It's all about sound absorption and reflection, and how they interplay in a specific enclosure / room. It took a while for me to grasp, and admittedly my early recordings (90's - on analog) published on RUclips are not acoustically perfect. Now, I mix through several speakers, even through expensive cuffs. Midi instruments sound better recorded as analog through speakers.
Great interview with Bobby. Warren you always seem to ask great questions. Great info from a legend who came through the ranks the hard way. Love his attitude towards life. Very good info. Gives me hope that I am at least doing some things right and will continue to improve.
I just flat out refuse to mix “in the box”. I’ll cop to it - I’m not some guy in his 20’s. And I came up when big consoles were all there was. So I’m very well-versed in what a good, large format console can do. And 95% of the time, I get great results on the first try (of course, that first try involves listening to the mix on everything I can get my hands on, because NO two sets of speakers act the same as any OTHER sets of speakers, and ALL STUDIO MONITORS LIE). But, I LIKE having ALL the knobs available to me ALL THE TIME, without having to dig layers deep in some menu somewhere. And after spending several decades as a radio DJ, if ANYBODY knows what a great mix sounds like, it’s me. My console was designed by Malcolm Toft, the guy who owned Trident Studio, where “Hey Jude” and “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” were recorded. Toft always built his own consoles for that studio, And I’ve heard several giants in the craft say that Toft’s consoles sounded BETTER than Rupert Neve’s! I thoroughly enjoyed listening to these two masters of the craft talking about what needs to be done to a space to make it suitable for mixing, because as they went through it, they hit EVERYTHING we did when building my room!
LOVE IT! Thank you---Hey--Here's a tip stumbled onto--My studio in in my basement (concrete block walls & floor) I hung quilted moving blankets from the celling around my space---AMAZING improvement! Keep up the great work! Blessings, pb
Warren / Bobby What a fantastic interview and discussion. I've been needing to treat my room and now have some insight on how to proceed. Your conversation on everything has me really motivated. Thanks
Thank you very much Warren for this tip. I've been fiddling with room dampening. It definitely helps. My mixes sound much better translated outside of my studio. It definitely helps to tame reflections and phase cancellation of colliding frequencies
Hello Warren, this is one of my all time favorite interviews. So much knowledge conveyed in a relatively short interview. Acoustics is just the tip of it! As well a special mention of the Smashing Pumpkins Gish era which is formative material for me. As well as the Queen impact in the early '80s.
Awesome chat, Warrren. Thanks! Big ups for the Queen references too! I'm one of those bizarre fans who likes Hot Space... It's not a Queen album, as such, but I like it for its strange departure from the road. Ha ha!
As useful and excellent as the first part of this interview is (acoustic treatment), I enjoyed the 2nd half even more - the two of you sharing your stories and views on the evolution of mixing and tying everything together with examples from historical music works that we all know. Technique is very important in great mixing/producing, but perspective even more so, if you'll excuse my personal opinion. Thank you so much for giving us all a heaping helping of both!
I thought this was great in that Bobby asked for a lot of your opinions on things too. In the first studio I built we had large soffit-mounted monsters and a pair of Auratones and nothing in between! It didn't matter because most of our clients were new and just loved hearing their music played on the big boys. Eventually we took the JBL 4311s out of retirement and began experimenting with a whole lot of other things. We did use the NS-10s a lot because it's what everyone else had. They worked for me as well
Hi Friend, many of us as engineers overlook the importance of acoustic treatment, and thus fail to maximise our room’s potential. Treatment is crucial, especially since digital technology has brought recording and mixing to our bedrooms, basements, garages, etc- all of which are less than ideal acoustic environments to begin with. Recently, I had the chance to chat with Bobby Owsinski, author of The Studio Builder’s Handbook amzn.to/2H8sHoG (among many others), about acoustic treatment and speakers with regards to his book. Many of Bobby's books have become a part of audio school curriculum! bit.ly/2HFDeZB
To quote you, Warren, "Absolutely marvelous!" Love learning from these audio masters who want to share their acquired knowledge with us mere mortals. Cheers and thanks!
I expected a little bit more about acoustic treatment. But you both are absolutely great. Maybe the title should have been "Interview with Bobby Owinski".
what a great watch! I can seen the satisfaction and connection during your talk and it's great especially when.you get side tracked bouncing ideas etc lol anyway I know Bob's books they helped me a lot when I studied audio engineering it was a solid foundation to start because I had no experience in mixing and was a rookie starting out in a new field....hope to get back to mixing one day!
I think I saw a video of Andrew Scheps saying he gets the .wav files and slams them into a Template. It's a real time saver. Sometimes he'll just take the whole session the way it came and work with that as is and just make minor tweaks. Other guys strip away every Plug-in and Bus without even listening to it it and start from scratch. I made all kinds of different Pro Tools Session Templates for every recording situation that I could imagine, which I usually retain and just add things as the session progresses and when it comes time to do the final mix I'm already most of the way there. Of course I'm always mixing as I go anyway as part of the process. Bones Howe said he did that as well. Templates are perfect for things like Jazz albums where the sound would be the same for each tune and not vary at all once you have perfected it. Then you have the complete opposite end of the spectrum where it's one of those albums that are all over the map with different players, different size groups and feature guest artists for each track!
This is exactly what I wanted to listen to in regards to my room and especially referencing. I did not want you to stop it was that good. The perfect double interview Warren as I un box my new monitors and some acoustic treatment. I have also got some great information from Tim Perry from Arqen Sonic, I am building one of his diffusers and plan B will be the book case, cheers my friend.
I followed Bobby's building instructions as exactly as I could, and using Rock Wool built 15 baffles and 3 corner bass traps to his specs . I mix from a position 37% from the front wall and now have a Zero Reflection Zone to mix in every day. It is a JOY. Thank-you Bobby.

Hi frankpaws fantastic!! Thanks for sharing your experience! Yes, Bobby is amazing!
In Studio City, you should come hear my room. Bobby has listened to it evolve over the years.
Great conversation about room acoustics. For a guy mixing in a room in his house though? Treat the front, back, and side walls. Treat the side walls at "eye level" of your monitor speakers. Treat the ceiling directly overhead of your usual mixing position. If your floor is tile or wood, get an area rug. Once this is completed, spend a lot of time getting to know your room.

It's great to listen to this when you know well all of those precious books.
Even better being interviewed by Warren, beyond perfect !!

I have one of his books! One of the best books ever for music production, The mix engineers handbook.
Acoustic treatment... and so much more!
Thanks!
Met Bobby at the Taxi road rally. He is great . Thank you both.

The ease and dynamic of this interview was one of the best!! thanks!!
Fantastic interview with a true, down-to-earth legend.
So many good golden nuggets! I must of filled 5 pages of notes. What a great interview and humbleness and knowledge! Thank you for this material 🙏🏼
Great interview with Bobby. Warren you always seem to ask great questions. Great info from a legend who came through the ranks the hard way. Love his attitude towards life. Very good info. Gives me hope that I am at least doing some things right and will continue to improve.
Every video i watch on this channel worths the time spent to watch
I like that he's asking Warren questions nice to see the tables turn in an interview.

This is a legendary interview. Honestly. Thanks for doing this Warren! And of course Bobby!
Warren / Bobby What a fantastic interview and discussion. I've been needing to treat my room and now have some insight on how to proceed. Your conversation on everything has me really motivated. Thanks
Warren, props to you for saying "guys (or girls)" in your examples. Terri Winston would be proud of you, as I am. Keep remembering our women in audio.
Fantastic! Thanks Benjamin! I have a daughter! Thanks ever so much! I'm glad to be able to help!
Thank you very much Warren for this tip. I've been fiddling with room dampening. It definitely helps. My mixes sound much better translated outside of my studio. It definitely helps to tame reflections and phase cancellation of colliding frequencies
Amazing episode with one of the greatest resources in the audio business. Thank you Warren and Bobby!
Hi Jonathan, Thanks ever so much! I'm glad to be able to help!
My two favorite teachers. Cheers!
Hi Luis! Thanks ever so much! I'm glad to be able to help!

Have you called in that all dayer yet? It's 2.30am on a Monday morning and I want more!!! Subscribed like a pro.
Love listening to Bobby - great knowledge and no BS. Nice one Warren :)
Thanks ever so much!!
Love to listen to all of the fantastic knowledge. Thanks for sharing Warren.
Awesome chat, Warrren. Thanks!
Big ups for the Queen references too! I'm one of those bizarre fans who likes Hot Space... It's not a Queen album, as such, but I like it for its strange departure from the road. Ha ha!
Fantastic interview! Thanks Bobby and Warren!
Thanks very much!! Bobby Rules!
Holy... Right when I start setting up my acoustic treatment you publish a video on the subject... Cheers mate!

Great stuff here...thank you Warren...ron
Thanks ever so much Ron!!
What an amazing resource, just giving out gold.
Great video! Thanks Warren. I'm going to order some panels tomorrow.
Hi Daniel! Thanks ever so much! I'm glad to be able to help!
To quote you, Warren, "Absolutely marvelous!" Love learning from these audio masters who want to share their acquired knowledge with us mere mortals. Cheers and thanks!
HI Todd! Thanks ever so much! I'm glad to be able to help!
Great video Warren, thank you Sounds like the treatment on the ceiling is very important.
Yes, indeed Janusz! Thanks for the great comment!
28:09 Bobby smirks as Warren makes a potentially accidental Frank Zappa reference...
Great video Warren:) INXS’ first album came out in 1980. That’s a win for Australia 🇦🇺!!!! Cheers
Haha yes indeed Steve!
Oh that was done marvellously well!Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Hi Alex! Thanks ever so much! I'm glad to be able to help!
Great Video Warren...Much needed.
Many thanks YoRoBro!
Fantastic! Studio treatment is so important!
Thanks ever so much Samuel!
Awesome video! I really enjoyed the fact you guys were bouncing thoughts off of each other.
Thanks ever so much Jose!! I'm glad to be able to help!
Man O man, this was incredible at all levels. Thanks you for this Warren. Cheers. Al
Wonderful teacher. Thanks!
Thanks ever so much! I'm glad to be able to help!
I expected a little bit more about acoustic treatment. But you both are absolutely great. Maybe the title should have been "Interview with Bobby Owinski".
Hi Karsten, yes, we got a little carried away talking about a lot of things!
Informative interview...both ways. Looking forward to watching more!
Warren you are a gentleman and a sir
This is awesome! Thank you Mr Bobby Owsinski
Bobby is a great interviewer, he just lets Warren talk :p
Haha he said to me before that he would do that! And he did! Haha
Ha! ... indeed!
what a great watch! I can seen the satisfaction and connection during your talk and it's great especially when.you get side tracked bouncing ideas etc lol anyway I know Bob's books they helped me a lot when I studied audio engineering it was a solid foundation to start because I had no experience in mixing and was a rookie starting out in a new field....hope to get back to mixing one day!
Great interview, thanks
Thanks ever so much
Phenomenal interview. More up and coming mixers_matering peeps NEED this insight.
Great discussion, thanks a lot guys!
Thanks ever so much Bernd!
As usual, an excellent and informative video. Thanks Warren, keep up the good work.
Hi Roger! Thanks ever so much! I'm glad to be able to help!

Looking forward to the " we could talk all day" video ;0)
Thanks Warren and Bobby, I must look at room acoustics soon, so this was timely.
Thanks guys. Very interesting.
You're very welcome Patrick!
So it’s really first and foremost about the immediate listening area? And yes, what a lovely interview.
This is Excellent! ...Thank You!
Thanks ever so much!
Waiting for the next interview! What a great interview.
Thanks ever so much Robert!
This is exactly what I wanted to listen to in regards to my room and especially referencing. I did not want you to stop it was that good. The perfect double interview Warren as I un box my new monitors and some acoustic treatment. I have also got some great information from Tim Perry from Arqen Sonic, I am building one of his diffusers and plan B will be the book case, cheers my friend.
Thanks a lot for this interview! Really love it
Amazing interview Warren! Love it.
