    Congratulations on the book! I bought an Aria guitar and Carlsboro 90 amp in Kingfisher in 1985. The amp replaced my not so great FAL amp. I’ve never seen a FAL amp since! I think in the 80s we all did the cassette to cassette thing through a boom box or hi-fi before portastudios were available/affordable. It’s amazing a demo can now be recorded on a phone. Back in the 80s it was really hard to get a whole band into a phone box! 😊

    I can relate. I had an old 10W philips radio as my first amp (replaced the radio tuner and preamp with a simple preamp/fuzz ). Worked on battery great ! I also had to sold my first guitar when I was a student to pay the rent, and I then built me a completely weird electric guitar called "la pagaie" (the paddle). It served me well for 3 years until I got my first job and my first paycheck ... and 2 new guitars. I plan to have my old frankenguitar given a little upgrade for my 50th birthday. I'm very happy to have it out of the attic.

    This reminded me so much of how I started recording (but didn't get to take it anywhere).
    I bought a 2 track tape machine in my early teens to help record the songs I was writing.
    Then I learned how to bounce from there to an external cassette tape recorder, and then use that as a source for one track of a new two track recording..
    Learned all about recording degradation..
    Then bought a 4 track Teac and used that with a band.
    Now have Pro Tools..
    How the world changes..

    the famous cassette recorder trick, i remember that! to use it as an amp you had to put it into record, and, if you didn't want to needlessly wear out cassettes, so use it without one, you had to press a small lever next to the recording head, to bypass the recording safety. my first "amp" was a russian mono cassette recorder with a din input for the microphone - so i had a din to jack cable - and if you cranked the input/record level all the way up it distorted like crazy. that was my first overdrive. my memory of that sound is a very warm and dirty solid state - which is exactly what it was. i had a strat shaped guitar with some soapbar style, fully covered pickups probably made in the 1850s, and it was in such a bad shape that you could use it as a shooting bow - that's how far the strings were from the neck - which didn't matter cause i couldn't play anyway. or even tune it, i just tried to make the open strings sound good together, whatever that meant.
    and when i got my first "proper" - very cheap - cassette player, that was stereo, i asked for a cassette for christmas - nowadays kids ask for cars - so i could record songs on it, and my mom got me, not a night at the opera, but a famous opera choirs cassette... prerecorded. 😳. it's like christmas came and went, all in one minute. my mom was always well intended with presents, but horrible with the implementation. so i listened to opera until i got a cassette😝- had to. which, years later, lead me to actually go to see opera - that was before the tickets were crazy expensive, so, as a broke college student, you could sit in the front row or even in a good loge, in late 90s-early 2000s bucharest. now it's hard even as a regular employee.
    but that overdriven sound was interesting - i liked the density, the thickness, and the sparkle of the attack - without knowing the words for them, but couldn't stand the plumpiness, looseness and dryness. still can't. it was an almost 60s - early 70s style sound - which was when the recorder was made, anyway, but that kind of hard rock sound, whereas i like clarity, definition, brilliance and atmosphere - 80s guy, i guess. i'm an "i don't understand how people can play guitar without a chorus and delay" kind of guy. that overdrive was my dad's sound - the records he was listening to. and i got into u2, and remember asking him what he thought about it, and he said "it sounded like qood quality music" - speaking of dads and brevity. and it was like a seal of approval, cause his idea of what i was listening to was it was bullshit. i started with 80s pop-rock, from my older cousins hosting parties with bootlegged reel to reel tapes with sandra, modern talking, heart, cars, golden earring, etc. - you couldn't get original western tapes in socialist romania - then, in my early teens i got into depeche mode, and from there, weirdly enough, before going into guitars, i had my jean michel jarre, vangelis, kalus schulze, tangerine dream phase - while my dad thought synth wasn't "a real instrument" - which i disagreed, and disagree with. so he thought it was "pop" - which i suppose it was, but it meant a completely different thing, quality wise, to what it means today - meaning commercial. and they were commercial, but that doesn't mean they weren't good songs. good arrangements, good writing, good performances, great production - to this day i like that music, and it's the minimum standard of quality, for me. so after i got into guitar - via mike oldfield, and pink floyd's shine on you crazy diamond, that was the transition form synth/athmospheric music to rock, for me - and into u2, it was like i finally got a seal of approval for what i was listening to. he loved pink floyd, obviously. another thing i remember him saying was "it's a movie that reminds you of what it means to be human", when i showed him "dances with wolves". that was kind of one liners he had.
    it's funny to see those things thousands of miles away. great interview!

    i have a rather odd question that probably applies to very few folks or hopefully none but....
    if you had been involved for over 40 yrs with audio in many ways from mixing to recording to front of house to installing sound systems in commercial spaces to finally at a comparatively late stage....(50 plus yrs) teaching yourself how to mix on a computer but then found yourself confined to a bed in a nursing home unable to get out to even sit behind a board
    how would you proceed to keep active in the field beyond getting what multi tracks are available to mix and watching youtube vids etc?
    in the meanwhile THANK YOU for all you do for those of us who know the daily struggle to become better at what we all aspire to do 🤗 and be well always

    You're losing focus on key components and customers when you spread yourself thinly. I did hire you for a year. I left Produce Like a Pro and unsubscribed due to daily emails of content not related to mixing AND waiting over 3 months for a reply. Ground yourself, Warren. Empires do not last when you are thinly spread. . "Compounding" had it's hey day until Multitasking became unfashionabl due to loss of focus. Got to focus on that one thing... What is it Warren? You lost me as a customer. I highly recommend anything written by Peter Drucker.
