loved his approach
thanks for the kind words
How are there only 8 comments and 66 likes on this since May? The interviewer and interviewee work together amazingly well in this discussion. Joel’s imagery and analogies are stunningly revealing of the inner workings of creating beautiful songs. The interviewee (sorry forgot your name) aids Joel in repeatedly reaching for the stars and attaining otherworldly jewels. Thank you both for uncovering the magic that is music. Absolutely incredible.
Edit- Holy crap- I just read the rest of the comments and by the sound of the people’s comments this video went completely over their heads! I find that equally amazing!
Thank you for the kind words!!!
Interesting discussion - Thanks, Joel & PureMix!
Met Joel at his studio Post AES Party 2013 I believe. Such a nice host! Thx Puremix!
Curious if this is the same Joel Hamilton that did 80s scores for Rush Week and Cheerleader Camp
mate, you're no Brian Eno
Also getting something to sound like its in the 70's before it has been mixed to emulate that era, is in a way stating the obvious, if you are lost as to what instrumentation and motifs and licks to use, wah wah guitar, Rhodes, congas, whatever was used in the 70's, if your using instrumentation that was not popular for that specific style and using baroque counter point mixed with messed up Bartok, vs trying to achieve a smooth 70's disco track then you're not really creating a 70's disco track. Most musicians at any level understand that, using a guitar for rock etc, over simplifying it, the point being missed here, is that with mixing, you can then blend other genres and then mix them in the style of a 30's track, notch out the eq, the intention would be to have a rapper in modern day, pay homage to that style of sound, will it be identical to wax cylinder recordings? No, it is a take on it, a nod to it. So the two don't have to be inextricably linked, unless you can get hold of a time machine and find a guy with a narrow frequency band sounding voice. Besides all that, how does he know how people really sounded 100 years ago, when all we have is the medium the person was recorded on?
So many words used to say not that much.
You can have an intention, but is the intention good, does it achieve what you want to achieve in a mix? So I don't entirely agree with this philosophy. This chap has lots of credits to his name and is surely a fantastic engineer and mixer. Like with anything if life, sometimes maths is involved to just understand frequencies, formulas for release time: sometimes going to the simple and obvious unflashy moves - produces the best result, without having to rely purely on instinct or intentions, which invariably can miss the mark when starting out.
