      Sorry for the unrelated question, but how are Memphis and Nashville for musicians these days?

    • @greenwithenvyband8505
      @greenwithenvyband8505 6 лет назад

      12ealDeal it's good, but competition can be rough... We broke out of the mold pretty easily only due to a unique sound... the metal community is great as well, but bands here are rather good or utter shit. There is no in-between haha. These people down here dont care for the cookie-cutter run of the mill metal band. So as long as you're unique you will atleast succeed locally.

    I absolutely love Orange Amps. I play a Bass Terror through an Orange 1x15. Top quality gear that can take a lot of abuse and sound great. Cheers Mr. Cooper! Cheers from Ottawa, even though I'm a useless bass player.

      @m4d_mark_xtr3me79 5 лет назад +2

      I play a dual terror with a custom 1×12 and I agree, best giging amp I've ever used.
      Serious abuse and keeps going..
      Shame they're so heavy and expensive these days

    It's always such a pleasure to listen to Cliff Cooper or Adrian Emsley talk about how they approach building amplifiers. Your really feel the passion they put in what they do. Also, both seem to be extremely cool guys to have around.
    Lots of great insights!

    Glenn I hope you see this. I finally bought my first set of M audio monitors. Wow what a difference. I can finally hear all of the differences in the recording techniques you always talk about. Now I'm gonna go back through and watch all of your other videos and learn from them the way you intended for me to.

    You're not holding the microphone correctly, your hand should be closer to the end in a cupped shape.

Company's have too evolve but they should never lose what they stand for. Great interview my jaw dropped to the floor so many times. I learnt new things and amazed about his tapes. Really great job Glenn shame the interview couldn't be longer. I could listen to him for hours.

  • @a1guitarmaker
    @a1guitarmaker 6 лет назад

    I worked at a pro audio repair shop for about a year and the best sounding thing that came across my bench was an Orange amp! Wonderful interview. Thanks.

    • @a1guitarmaker
      @a1guitarmaker 6 лет назад

      There were 2 that stood out. One was a Rockerverb 50 head. Although it sounded great it had a weird problem that would come and go. It turned out to be a bad relay. The one I liked best was a 1-12 combo. I don't remember the model. It might have been a little lower wattage.

  • @SC4211
    @SC4211 6 лет назад

    This is really cool. Getting to hear the backstory to amp makers is really a treat, even if I'm not really a fan of Orange amps. I wish an interview with Jim Marshall were still possible.

  • @localtechnique
    @localtechnique 6 лет назад

    @10:09 This is why you always have a studio cat :)
    My first amp back around the mid 90s was an Orange. Can't remember the model but it was an old combo of some kind.
    Loved hearing these stories. Thanks for the interview!

As being born mostly in a digital era (1995) i am interested in how do you work with tape and full analog gear, like more interested in how the workflow is when working on analog. i'm interested in this as much as i'm interested in celluloid film cinema.
