"I've mixed records where I don't compress the drums at all. I mean, a little bus compression, but that's it." lol, CLA is the man

Beside this great interview: Thumbs up for the guy who filmed that footage, feels like the viewer is in the room with you guys! ;)

I am feeling a little melancholy after this one. It was great to see his room, but I also felt like I was seeing an end of an era. Like Bing Crosby on the phonograph, we had CLA in his studio. I don't think I'm ready for that. Here's to many more years of him doing the great work that he has always given us and thanks to both of you for the inside look.

A couple of people are commenting here about CLA in a negative way... the guy is a genius at what he does and if you hang around anyone on this level, most of the time, they are doing what they do without thinking. They are going mostly on their instinct so its hard for someone like that to analyze and have to explain what they do. So... give CLA a break. He's a busy guy, he did not have to make time for this but he did and I'm grateful. Its also quite evident that he absolutely loves music. He totally values the art form. I'm glad we have guys like CLA that raise the bar for everyone. Thanks to CLA for that! And thanks to Warren as always for bringing us yet another informative and fun video. Peace.

How can you not love CLA, dude is a role model with an immense passion for the craft.

There's this vibe I get from CLA that I usually don't get from most engineers. The way he talks about mixing. He makes you want to become a mixer. When I grow up, I want to be like him ☺

That studio is incredible and a true piece of history

This is by far the most candid CLA interview on the internet. It felt like we were in his living room, talking about the craft and how it should not be forgotten. I personally feel very strongly about the history of recording and the craft itself, I want to learn everything about it so this particularly resonates with me. Thank you Warren, your videos are gold, and thanks to Chris for being so open and honest.

This is the guy who got me out of the box and finally convinced me to mix for the sound and not for what people say is right or wrong. Chris is a legend and i aspire to be just like him one day using 500k 1176's on each mix. 😂 also his mixes really do sound like they are coming out of the edges of the speakers. Everything is just so spacious and wide

Guys like CLA, really are a different level! What a setup & what a back catalogue this guy has!

Warren, Every video you publish confirms why you are the pro of professionals! Thank you for all you do for us audio hacks!!

just casually sitting on a couch in front of 5 Grammys. What a legend :)

I saw this in 2016 and I was listening to this interview again through Barefoot speakers. I say, "Bravo Warren," for this one. By you touring CLA's museum, probably every engineer/producer etc...gained some inspiration and wisdom.

I love watching Chris Lord-Alge, such a legend and mixed most up the music I listened to growing up.

THANKS WARREN FOR ALL YOU DO FOR THIS INDUSTRY !!!!

This is just amazing to walk through Chris's world. Thank you!

This is so wonderful, Warren! I worked, learned and "lived" at this studio for five years when it was Can-Am. This brings back so many memories working with so many great engineers and artists in these very rooms. Wow!! I think Kiefer Sutherland bought the place shortly after I left but have since wondered if it managed to survive. It's amazing to see it ended up in the hands of this legend. Thanks for posting. It was a real treat to watch this video. Thank you for all the great education you provide. Truly. You rock!

You´re right ther is a diference, when the Lord Alge´s mix something... you notice , After almost five years I´m still watching you old videos. Thanks Warren.

Thank you Chris and Warren for blessing the Audio Community with the Value and Perspective you provide. All the best for both of you!

such a pleasant vibe to this production

what a legend. I live this dude

Everything that comes out of CLA's mouth is pure audio engineering gold wisdom.

This is ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS IV EVER SEEN DIVING DEEP INTO THE REALITY OF BEING A LEGENDARY PRODUCER!!!! thank you for this footage you rock

Always nice to see Chris plugging his love for Genesis!

Thank you Warren! For fun and for free! Thank you for "giving back" so freely.

This just reminded me of my first play record player as a child that was modeled after the phonograph. Chris is right on point.....

Chris Lord-Alge... One of Best!

Warren,you rock man...thank you so much for inspiring us all and feeding us with your knowledge that you've gathered over the years.....i love YOUR drum sound you get....always appreciated

My two fav mixers on this planet Warren and Chris !!! Love this video !

I've been learning my ways through audio for a year and a half now and when I see that someone acctually still cares about the old analog gear and is not all about midi and plugins just makes me wanna improove at what im doing and learn new stuff. Awesome video :D

This place is a museum, great show.

two of my favorite guys in the studio looking forward to enjoying this one

total gem with Chris Lord-Alge kindred spirit

Warren, ive been watching your back log of videos here on you tube and im just floored. they have taught me so much. im so grateful. thank you.

Hi Warren ! Well to be short, I recently started to record an EP with my best friend in a studio we know for a long time but now... A sound ingineer came in ! so we record with him and it blows my mind away every single friday evening for 3 months now. I'm recording the drums tomorrow... And well I got myself some gear at home and I learn everything by myself so it's slow and every single little achievement is another little rock on the bridge. Thanks for sharing all this stuff, it's amazing and I can't tell how much I'm learning and how grateful I am to you !

Yeah, He is the legendary Chris Lord-Alge! there is no more words about him, he is simply the legend

Thanks Warren! Your personality makes watching and learning music techniques so easy. I would love to see you hosting a talk show on a larger scale about music making. EXCELLENT!

OMG - THIS I've been waiting to see for a long time.

Good job Warren! Thanks for the amazing tour

I think I've watched this 10x now...always awesome!

I feel like I just met Chris, Warren, Thanks again and again, The data gathering on these videos is priceless!

I should have commented on this video when I first saw it, what a treat...two of my favourite producers, just chilling and chatting about things that we all care about...……...what a great way to spend my lunch hour!

favorite one yet.Time on vinyl is it very good benchmark to show what properly engineered sound is

truly amazing and inspiring thanks for sharing warren !

Love both of these dudes!

I've watched this three times all the way through and am still smiling. :) This is by far my favorite interview Warren. It shows what a true fan of music he is and how that love translates into his work that I grew up with and loved. What I would give to spend 20 minutes in CLA's lounge. What an homage to the art. Well done my friend. Truly inspiring.

As a dance music/in the box producer, and general music production enthusiast, this is a beautiful interview and setting.

That room with the pinball machines and the record player is magical!

Just amazing! Thanks Warren!

Chris ! You r a Legend !! Period .

this is quality.thanks Warren. Thanks Chris.

Fantastic video~! Warren, I love your channel and have for a bit but I just stumbled on this video. This unbelievable spread of zillion dollar equipment here isn't what makes me keep watching your videos, but the fact you cover everything from recording in a bedroom to just chilling with Chris Lord-Alge. And everything in between. I busted my ass to have a decent 16 track setup with nice 500 series pres/eq/comp, a good board and Logic for the DAW... and when I watch your videos, it makes me know that it was worth it, and I can still make amazing music, same as anyone, anywhere. It's about the creativity and using what you have to the max. Sincerely, thank you again...

I have that same copy of White Christmas unfortunately my brother has the victrola to play it on but I still got it in my studio awesome tour thanks Chris! and thank you for your drum plugins I use them on almost every recording I make along with bass guitar plug in. Thank you so much it's changed my recording forever!

@Warren thank you so much for this interview! 🙏🏻

Warren awesome interview! Thank you for these videos!

Great Video!Thank you!Ive watched it about 5-7 times and wanna watch it again :)

Thanks Chris and Warren.

Totally awesome and totally out of another long gone age...

I hope everyday you realize you guys are setting the soundtrack for our lives Malik

Just discovered this series. Kudos!

My favorite engineer ever. I love these kinds of videos as I take so much from them. Keep up the good work!!

Amazing as always.... Produce like a pro is becoming one of my favorite youtube channels!!

I love Cris, I know his work and all but this is crazy! I mean this looks like museum of best music that happened in the modern era.

Chris is really great mix engineer. Big thanks for this interview.

CLA really seems like a cool guy here. Really open and excited to share his space. Oh to be a fly on the wall for story time

Great video ! You & Chris are great musicians before even being amazing producers & mixers. That's why your mixes sound musical & attractive. Love you guys ! Huge talent. Thanks a lot Warren for sharing ! You guys are inspiration.

Amazing. Huge fan of CLA. We can see in this vids how humble he really is. A true music lover and not shy to give its secrets. I mean he is maybe the most known engineer that everybody wants its sound, and he shares it.

CLA Waves plug-ins are totally awesome. Love his guitar and vocals plug-ins :)

I spot new stuff every time!! The Waves stools are too cool!!!

Great stuff. CLA is the man. Thank you Warren for your channel and for your hard work!

Great tour of a legends studio! Thanks Warren

its cool to see he kept all the memorabilia of all the things hes done/been apart of/gifted to him etc. Thats cool

CLA is the man!

you are right Warren, we want to know how its done. Dude thank you for opening the door to see inside this rich piece of history. many music lovers will never know but we producers and engineers get a glimpse.

This man is a truly living legend, he has the truth in his hands in terms of mixing millions copy sold records, everyone around that is criticizing his work is simply invidious

I got to say... When I started looking at this clip. I was disapointed, cause I was looking at the gear and I don't event have 1% of the gear that he has. But the more I listen to Chris the more I understand that I can do lot's of cool things with the little bit of gear that I have. Thanks guys.

Loved the video Warren! Love the work of CLA. Thank you!

Just awesome. Thx for sharing Warren.

This is fantastic.. inspiring to hear that "there are no rules". Another great video 👍

I really want to thank you and Chris for doing this wonderful video. Watching (and listening to) you guys is like going to a Songwriter Show: After it´s over, you go home, full of inspiration, energy and "I want to get better ... I want to grow to become as great as these guys are". You are really filling our motor with gasoline. :-) Thank you both! (PS: Got to decorate my own studio now to create a cool looking environment that makes me feel great, when I work there. ;-))

Ive been waiting for this. Thanx!

AWESOME! Thanks You Warren.

CLA is a flawless genius

I enjoyed the interview & tour :) I love this episode

I am totally in Love with this Channel i learn so much Thank You so much Warren

Warren, I would love it if you would do a video on the rednet units. Especially if it detailed Chris' setup specifically!

This was a great interview and tour of Chris Lord-Alge's studio! Very insightful! Love your vids Warren!

Warren, I really enjoyed this.I wish I could just drive to Chris' studio and take a tour of all his "artifacts". What a cool studio he has. Thanks for posting this. Great stuff.

Thoroughly enjoyable gentlemen. All these videos make me look up the producer discography and history. It's a great concept and I'm happy to have made the discovery. Hope all goes well for you both into the future. kind regards.

Best conversation in series.

Definitely added to my favorite videos! Thank you Warren!

Chris Lord alge has a gorgeous Studio

Best moment when Warren says "there's nothing wrong with that" xD just having his own thoughts on it. Great video. Two amazing guys talking about amazing stuff.

This was great! Thanks Warren and Chris.

Some time ago was listening to Pensados place and heard a beautiful crafted vocal for an Earth wind and fire track, it was way wow!

Best CLA video I've seen.
