Today I spent a few hours with Moses at his studio and man,this guy is such a pure soul.Extremely competent yet humble,I would love to work with him again
He has published an e-book called The Alternative Workbook - Or How To Pimp Your Practice Room, where he gives practical tips on how to make professional recordings in the rehearsal room.
This was really great to listen to and watch. The gent really loves his life and his work. It has kept him young it seems. The part about recording "CREATOR" and that them being a 25 year old band who are fun to work with for when you record an old band like that who have been with each other since their teens meant that you can really hear "friendship"... dyamn that was deep.
I recorded my band this summer. We played the music live, a second guitar and vocals overdub. I, as the drummer, was the only one that had a click playing in my headphones. It helped soooo much in the editing phase because I could align the individual takes of one song and comp every mistake out. The feeling is still there and it was fairly easy to work with.
+ConcreteKOS He is definitely a music lover though. That might mean more. Musicians are sometimes blind [or in this case, deaf] to certain "inconsistencies".
well, many musicians don't really know what they are doing. for me as a drummer it was kind of a natural step to start recording myself. recording and producing sound is a difficult and very broad topic that involves as much physics as creative freedom. IMO a clicktrack doesn't really make or break a record. it just makes it easier to work with and many people (including myself) are used to a steady groove.
klick2destruct Yea I think that not needing a click is probably reserved for super tight bands that have been together for years and know each other really well. The dynamic gives the sound something that you can't get with click. However this doesn't mean that not using click will give you this level of synergy. Again he said "you can really hear friendship" when advocating for no click. You know for that "live sound".
I've been watching amazing recording engineers and producers on youtube and all of them are amazing but this guy is the only one I would really really want to meet and get a beer while talking about music!!!!!!!
Super-inspiring this video, because I guess everybody is fighting to record drums at home in a small room. I actually prefer this sound to 80s-90s big room, bombastic, roomy drums. This is how rock drums ought to sound like.
You are really amazing and driven by your passion to your art thank you for your insight into your personnel creative process, well done and keep up the great work.
Working with my first band called 'Gentle View' at Ulli Weigel's Sinus Tonstudio back in the day surely must have been one of his very first productions, maybe the first one? ;-)
I had the same feeling as him regarding quantization. I mean, especially a live band. You want them to create the energy. Let them dictate their own tempo and feel. If it's a bad take, then it's a bad take. Maybe they need to practice more, or get the arrangement down better.
"wurst" Wish i thought of that one. Moses comment/s on- Stimulate the recording artists, in headphone mix.. Absolutely!!. going to try the Wurst mic technique on my drums tomorrow, i have done similar but not such a close sound....cant wait!! i love using gates and compression.. is the way i like it..
had never heard of this guy...first impression "who did he produce for? I bet he worked with the pixies" I always loved there drum sound. somehow I was right.
Ich finde das voll genial wie er einfach irgendwelche "schnapsideen" einfach umsetzt und es klingt so geil. Alleine schon wie er die Effekte einsetzt. Entscheidend ist das Endergebnis, wie man da hin kommt is dich völlig WURST
Names of both songs? Second one is a Tocotronic tune, but don't know which one. On the first tune there's no info in the video, but that drums are huge so I need to listen to the whole piece! Help me!

"You get some control but you lose some music" is an incredible statement, what a legend
What a cool guy, no diva behaviour, just true love for music, refreshing !!
Never seen an audio professional laugh so often and have so much fun. Moses teach me audio!!!

Ein musikalisches Genie mit einem so großartigen Charakter. So was gibt's (leider) viel zu selten auf diesem Planeten.
"maybe you took the wrong drugs, i dont know!" what a funny character, i like his philosophy on recording/mixing as well!
He has published an e-book called The Alternative Workbook - Or How To Pimp Your Practice Room, where he gives practical tips on how to make professional recordings in the rehearsal room.
Tracktour Music Library thanks!!
This man is incredible...what passion for his art...using simple techniques to create magic.

it's "Kreator" btw
I love this guy! Can you imagine how much fun it would be to be his assistant! Hearing him say 'I love it' everyday ha!

+klick2destruct Yea i don't think this guy is a musician all the best bands recorded final takes to sequencer tracks or some kind of metronome

Hell yes! A KREATOR shot out. This is the best interview/insight from producer/engineer ever. So glad I stumbled across this.
What an enthusiastic and talented guy!
I've been watching amazing recording engineers and producers on youtube and all of them are amazing but this guy is the only one I would really really want to meet and get a beer while talking about music!!!!!!!
He really wraps it up at about 28 minutes onward. Police, AC/DC, "You can listen to the friendship!" 1st chorus/2nd chorus. What a great perspective.
Seems like a really genuine guy. This is what we all should aim for IMO.
Super-inspiring this video, because I guess everybody is fighting to record drums at home in a small room. I actually prefer this sound to 80s-90s big room, bombastic, roomy drums. This is how rock drums ought to sound like.
I really enjoy Moses' attitude; A refreshing take on recording.
Everybody needs more Wurst in there music Moses! Great video and such a great guy!!!
Damn that drum beat got me pumping with the Wurst mic
Can we have a list of songs used in this video? They're all so killer! Are these all Moses work?
Moses is a legend. Epic dude! Love this vid. Love his stoke for music.
Very cool! I love the rant against tracking separately and using a click track, so right!
One word for Moses Schneider. Awesome!!!!! 👍😎
One of the real ones. God bless you Moses!
I love just how happy and smiley he is talking about music
I love this guy, and his take on quantizing, click tracks, and live recording bands!
First sound engineer I saw blowing smoke on his equipment.
You don't know Lee scratch Perry ?
@@eugenielama981 hahahaha... good one!
This guy is absolutely brilliant! Real wisdom in the digital age about getting character out of recordings
Amazing interview. Please do more with Moses, i would love to hear him talk about vocals and drums specially.
You are really amazing and driven by your passion to your art thank you for your insight into your personnel creative process, well done and keep up the great work.
His passion for music is infectious :)
What an absolute legend, another great video! Cheers SOS!
How incredible is to see him enjoy what he do so much, so much PASSION in what he is doing, is pretty remarkable yet inspiring at the same time!
Nice to meet Moses. This open minds are so enjoyable.
That gated 'wurst' mic is so good. Cool video
"Whatever it is... Wow! Let's distort it!" Love this guy!! 👍🏼
What a chill nice guy
His recordings are simply amazing, He is like a modern day Phil Spector.
soulagent79 minus the whole murder thing.
@@jamiedavie91 lol
Great video! awesome approach and energy from him
Crazy interesting technique with the 2 knee mic's and the over head sweep.
One of the best videos on youtube.
This man sparks joy
Absolutely wonderful
What a great guy I ,love his passion for creativity ,would love to work with him
This guy is too nice, awesome!
Love his attitude. This is brilliant!
This guy loves his job! Cool dude.
He rocks... A real love for music...
8:38 this is the 'crotch mic' set up. Love it! I use this method on my recordings lots of times. It just works!
Working with my first band called 'Gentle View' at Ulli Weigel's Sinus Tonstudio back in the day surely must have been one of his very first productions, maybe the first one? ;-)
he seems honest!!
Superb, I love this. I think I may have misheard the mic positioning instructions at 8:22 . If not, I'm going to try small diaphragm condenser first.
holy shit - those distorted tracks - in a way liberating how unconventional approaches & thinking out of the box will lead to interesting stuff.
You guys should checkout Vulfpeck
Lol just did... Good shit bro!
What a great attitude.
such a bright guy!
lol the 'Wurst' microphone …:) love it
pure art...pure artist....blessed
This dude is great, speaking the truth!
i wanna do coke with this guy
fuckin top man, hilarious
...and dance!
He'd prefer weed tho, at least he did when I worked with him 20 yeras ago :D
He's a music producer, you know he definitely smokes weed
Just saw this for the first time, this guy is totally cool.
im 100% with the click theory. I've experienced that already .
I had the same feeling as him regarding quantization. I mean, especially a live band. You want them to create the energy. Let them dictate their own tempo and feel. If it's a bad take, then it's a bad take. Maybe they need to practice more, or get the arrangement down better.
Thank you Moses and SOS!!

"wurst mic" - love it ;)
Very entertaining. Love his passion
such a cool guy! very inspiring
Not actually the sound I'm producing, but awesome tipps and a very smooth guy! Cool :D
this guy is a genius
Ein so toller Trick, echt super Moses :-)
had never heard of this guy...first impression "who did he produce for? I bet he worked with the pixies" I always loved there drum sound. somehow I was right.
I will never stop watching this video.
Wow!! It’s just awesome!! So much ways to make music!!
Ich finde das voll genial wie er einfach irgendwelche "schnapsideen" einfach umsetzt und es klingt so geil. Alleine schon wie er die Effekte einsetzt. Entscheidend ist das Endergebnis, wie man da hin kommt is dich völlig WURST
This is inspiring!! Thank you!
Great Mighty Boosh episode! Thanks.
Please does anyone know the name of the band/song in the first drum example? That was such a cool mix and I really want to hear the full arrangement!
This cat is one jovial Deutcher! Great stuff, thanks!
What a wonderful dude
Names of both songs?
Second one is a Tocotronic tune, but don't know which one.
On the first tune there's no info in the video, but that drums are huge so I need to listen to the whole piece!
Help me!
The tocotronic tune is called "wie wir leben wollen"
that was awesome. i just learned oodles. best 30 minutes of advice
Perfect imperfection.
Fantastic video.
This guy really knows some music ☺️
Well this was enlightening
So does anyone know if the music at around 9:12 is from an actual song or just something for this video?
Can you give me a name of the band and the song at 21:45
This seriously kicks ass.
