That's awesome to hear Warren sing!

I own the LCD-5 headphones and they feel even lighter than their weight suggests. The premium materials 5:34 make them feel like you are getting your money's worth. Word of warning: If you are an 'audiophile' (yuck) and are afraid of EQ because you can't admit you don't understand it or don't know how to use it, I would skip these headphones (or most any Audeze). Audeze intended for these to be used with PEQ or filters. The stock sound out of the box is not tuned for consumer ears, they are tuned for technical prowess first, with the lowest possible distortion. If you are like me and understand how to use EQ and are not afraid of a little tinkering and testing for a few days to adjust the sound to your preference, these are the best headphones you can buy.

I want to hear music the way it sounded in the studio. I feel digital offers the best chance of this happening.

Totally agree, its all about the performance dilivered with passion.

Under appreciation, that's life, some genius bright so little,Charlie was one of them

I do not like it

Cool! But the TAPE is not anymore tape as it is recorded to digital

Hi , thank you for sharing this! one question : In his private studio desk he mentioned a vertical limiter that he use always on drums, please can you tell me if it's kind a opto limiter or more vari mu or more zener vca style limiter? Thank you warren!!

I'm not usually a reverb person...one is the same as the next to me. However, a couple years ago I heard the 7th heaven reverb on a song and was blown away. To make a long story short I now own all of LiquidSoniics products, and I'm never going back 😃

WOW! this was uploaded two years ago, and I'm mastering a project today where I totally needed this!!!! I've been using multistage limiting for years (where I use the first one just to lift the level but making sure there's absolutely NO reduction on the meter, and then using the second stage for the bulk of the heavy lifting, but it's never truly sounded great. NOW THIS!!!! This sounds so good! Who knew clipping could actually sound CLEANER in the end lol....such an awesome and timely video for me right now! Thanks so much!

24:52 *Oh hi Mark !* Seriously: Lets start a diet NOW ????

Had you played me these mics in a mix, randomly switching between them without any indication, I would have been hard pressed to tell you that anything was different. Maybe the Lewitt stands out as brighter... However, again, if these were being switched without warning, I doubt I would notice.

I think the level may depend on what monitors you use... I remember we were in a studio with big wall monitors like Philip Newell or something like that... And it was loud, but at the same time quite comfortable... so nobody had to shout loudly

What about Twenty 4 Seven's "Slave to the Music" its awesome song!

Just got an API 3124V and man it sounds nice, but it's one part of the chain. It all starts with performance > mic > pre > converter. This is the chain of importance of quality

So interesting. I have thought about doing this but have never tried it.

Great snare selection

Keep coming back to this, great video on snare choices Blair and Warren

I really wish I do this with the really annoying singer I record, aka myself 😂

Love Blair! Huge talent and a wonderful guy

We love Joe! Great work Gents

Great video Gents! Thanks for sharing

Thank you Duane!! I loved your work of music, and I love you 😘💕🎵

Donald Fagan's former backing band The Restless Age is currently making amazing music, but they are virtually ignored in the United States. They are getting wide acclaim in South Korea for their work on the Midnight Romance in Hagwon TV Series. It would be cool, Rick, if you would do an episode about them.

Warren: I realize that a large percentage of your RUclips viewers may be more interested in the latest monitors or plugins. However, thank you so much for doing this series of interviews with the innovators of music technology. While many may think of these people as techno-centric, what repeatedly emerges from these interviews is their common drive to find new ways of capturing the human emotional component of creating music. You are doing a great service to the musical world by conducting these interviews. Best wishes.

Good advice, but you know many of us gear heads we go down that rabbit hole all the time!!! Seems like it never ends.

Warren, you are the best!

As 25+ years mixing engineer I must say Marc's videos are PHENOMENAL and always interesting. BTW hardware 250 has very different sound than UAD emulation in terms of "Depth", I didn't expect this difference in sound.

So you can also use it as a specral balance metter and detect issues in the mix. Nice

I've been sent all kinds of silly stuff over the years but my pet peve is people not naming things. Several times i've been sent a bunch of audio files with the 'names' 'Audio1, Audio2 etc. I just REFUSE to touch these things, if someone cannot be bothered to name things properly, let alone at all; then i can't be bothered to even listen to them... that's a HARD AND FAST rule for me.

Couldn’t agree more. Don’t cheap out but when all is said and done, the song and the performance matters most.

I was thinking the same thing. Recently I was listening to a lot of old recordings like WW2 era even before that and the quality is often not very good compared to modern recordings but I think a lot of them sound better to listen to than a lot of modern recordings. The reason I think this is because of the energy and the performance that has been captured. They’ve captured jazz musicians at the height of their game giving an energetic performance and you can tell their heart is in it. Whereas a lot of modern recordings sound cold in comparison and in comparison sound like they’re just playing the notes and going through the motions. This is probably a better 1950s recording but I have a copy for the Glenn Miller Story Soundtrack. The sound on that record blows a lot of modern recordings I’ve heard out the water. The energy from the orchestra smacks you in face where other recordings just sound like an orchestra playing the notes. I’d rather listen to old recordings like that over the something that’s recorded with the most modern technology that’s over processed and just going through the motions any day.

Hi y'all 😊😊

This also why new pop music all sound the same

Get something cheap enough but also half decent and then try to make your money back using it. Chances are you'll never make a penny from music these days, so buying the apogees and an SSL isn't ever going to be an option anyway.

I love Tull up until the mid 70s, but I can only imagine how much Tony Iommi hated being in that band. It must have been an intensely alienating experience.

I was crazy about Yes back in college but I was more crazy of the album art done by the great Roger Dean! Album art was crucial back then created to get and hold your imagination while listening to the album, which it did. Roger Dean, Peter Max and Marty Klarwein and Hignosis were the best back then.

I will say that in my experience, preamps are one of the few pieces of gear where the analog hardware actually sounds noticeably better than digital emulations.

How many drinks were consumed before filming this? :D

Some of the best songs, or I should say some of my favorite songs & albums were recorded in bad studios, or cheap equipment, etc. Some of it was never even mastered, though most was. If you won't listen to something because it doesn't sound "great," you're gonna miss out on A LOT of great music.

I've only heard great things from this! I really need to get one. Want to try it on my synths and vocals for my debut album.

I have seen your inner neck 😅😅😅 . You are the man ✋✋✋

Yes 90 percent of hit songs comes from the composition and performance.

I remember years ago there was blind preamp test that included an art preamp that cost around 35 dollars with tax, lol. It was pitted against pre's around 1k. One was a uad as I recall. Until everyone found out it was the winner,..they had heaped praises on it not knowing. Then suddenly a lot of people backtracked or made excuses for their vote. HAHAHA. I'll never forget it. I still use one of their pre's. Works just fine - with a few mods, even better.

That Baritone Guitar section you chose absolutely screams spaghetti western :-D

Light tremolo to fluctuate dynamics and vinyl for pitch is a quick fix if you’re in a rush.

Hello Warren! I think you uploaded this video in mono.

CAN SEVENTH HEAVEN PLAY THIRDPARTY CONVOLUTION REVERB SAMPLES LIKE PASS TO FUTURE IMPULSE RESPONSE AI REAL TIME REVERB CAPTURES?

I really like Goldplate by Kush Audio. I also love some of the studio emulations by Universal Audio (Sunset Sound, Capitol Chambers). I'm always trying to find new reverd though. I've wanted to get the LiquidSonics stuff for a while, but it's hard for me to justify the price tag at the moment. If the Everything Bundle ever goes on sale, I'll buy it then.

These devices remind me of the old Yamaha AW range of recorder/mixers from back in the day.
