Neighbor: Can I borrow some milk and sugar? Mr. Scheps from next door: Sure! Would you like me to mix it?

He IS the guy next door... if you live in Los Angeles!

That's 80% of the gig

me too

Ozterkvlt I like to think its because they do what they love and they are so good at it :)

They're like old hippies and musicians... Bit different from the convoluted people we have today.

The best way to succeed at their job is to be the calm thoughtful guy who maintains some kind of order in a high-risk project driven by lunatics and prima donnas. Guy Stevens may have been an exception, but then again he died pretty young.

Yea, you have to be quite open and patient when it comes to CREATIVE projects. - It's a WORLD of "subjectivity", an overused term and argument these days, but it is true when it comes to creating sounds and music. - You can already have problems with only TWO people disagreeing over a small thing like a single frickin' NOTE. - It helps if there's someone in the room who has a middle ground, or as they usually say, an outside perspective. - One might not want to have that role as an audio-engineer, but that's just being humans in a room together. At some point you're going to have to be the remedy to a problem so that you can continue working on the project at hand. Arguably, if the opposite is done, where you're just a well-lubricated record machine, it's likely impersonal and pre-conceived, such as the major music industry where all the garbage "music" comes from. Did you ever hear the biggest current stars talk about their music projects and struggles?... No, they likely start with signing a contract, then get some pre-done tracks served in front of them which they can then cry to into a microphone which will then get auto-tuned and there's little to no human interaction. Point being; Some blood, sweat, and tears have to be shed to get something GOOD and MEANINGFUL out of the thing we call music. - If you don't want do deal with that, then become a faceless engineer that sits in a control-room and doesn't deal with anyone in the same room. lol

You need to be chill to work with people with big ego's (musicians and creatives) In this case a big ego isn't necessarily a bad thing :)

Thanks a lot for this interview!

+Quentin Chen Music Yeah, if you love distorted sounds then he is your man of choice.

That's actually paraphrase of Leonardo Davinci (allegedly) - "art is never finished, but only abandoned". I really identify with that :)

To track with.

I was amazed to hear this - thinking about trying it on my next project. What's the main characteristic of the sound would you say?

mattkirkhamm 😂😂

hast wohl keine ahnung wer das ist oder ;-)

Phable Official Na ja, Studio hin und her - die Zeit hat sich gewandelt- es sind keine hundertausende Euro-Studios mehr erforderlich, um geile Ergebnisse in die Welt zu drücken :) -

Stycal Mash die verschwenden mittlerweile auch viel zu viel Strom

You should do your homework about him and learn the English language so you would at least appear a little less stupid and ignorant as you are
