This popped up recently, and i really enjoyed it. I like this "old man" version of Mr. Albini. He has throughout the ages had the right idea about how to go about the business of recoarding things, but i feel like he has really come into a pleasant level of clarity more recently as far as being able to verbalize the hows and whys of his methods. This Earthquaker video series is pretty solid too, some extra-good ones in there, for sure. |

Saw this the other day, all of those in the series really are great but this was my favorite for sure. He is a person I can listen to talk for an endless amount of time. The Kurt Ballou and Lee Ronaldo ones I really loved, as well. I think he really has clarified in his explanations too, there's also some amount of condescension in his voice that has subsided with age.  Watching this also really had me wanting to throw my Oktava 012 on snare on a session soon.

Yeah, those ones especially for me too. 
Exactly true. I think they are tied together. Like he has finally realized that as a smart dude he sometimes might need to walk other people through stuff that is patently obvious, to him, because it is perhaps surprisingly, not actually obvious, to them.
Def had me checking prices, meseff...

Tangent: I have been listening to a lot of 90's alt rock records lately and sort of observed how far rock drum production has fallen in some ways. I think there was (besides the obvious deficit of budget) a slightly more brave approach where the "we'll buff it up with samples later" and similar sentiments were not a consideration or even an option. Condensers being used as close mics on drums as a regularity rather than an exception, excellent rooms being more accessible, tuning drums well and generally taking more time with the production. It is also of note, that there were some shit sounds happening at the same time of course. But fuck, there was a run of some goddamn wild sounds at the time. |
