The Latin Playboys debut was their finest work of art.

Informative & well produced. It would be so cool to do an album with these guys, or even spend a day looking over the shoulder of Tchad Blake, watching him work!

That Suzanne Vega record is underrated. Unbelievable production and engineering. Beatles level sonic magic.

This was very inspiring, about as candid as you can get, and a hat's off to the guys for being so down-to-earth! Bravo!

I love how Tchad's memory on equipment is hazy. It’s refreshing especially for someone who can’t remember model numbers.

I remember in music school in the late 90s, my mixing professor said these guys were his absolute favorite producers/engineers. I never got into the stuff he played of theirs really but their body of work is definitely interesting and unique.

Listening to one of Mitchell's production jobs, specifically 'Headshots' from the album, 'Nine Objects Of Desire', really made me take notice of drums for the first time as a kid. The sound and texture, not the just the beat. He's a master. I want to learn more from him. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r7dyl8eqz5vMZXk.html

I wish there were more interviews floating around with the two of them together. I only became aware of Froom/Blake a couple of years back when I suddenly realized that they had produced/engineered about half of my top 20 favorite albums. Far too great a percentage for it to be pure coincidence.... They clearly tapped into something that resonates with me deeply.

Mitchell loves your work with GAMMA and then the Montrose/Froom tour which I saw 3 shows of!! Would love to hear some Ronnie stories and was wondering if there are any recordings of the Montrose/Froom tour

Best solution for Acoustic guitar and Vocal recording. Use Ribbons, their null point in the fig 8 has excellent rejection. The vocal mics null would be aimed at the guitar and guitar mics null aimed at the vocal.

dachikenmaster Was just about to write this. A good pair of figure eight mics work really great for those applications!

Mildly interesting: Tchad says the binaural head was invented by Fritz Künstkopf. However, Künstkopf is just German for fake head ;)

I THINK the AKG kuntzkopf (art-head) was created by Fritz Sippl & tested at the Staatsoper

I guess tchad was sick during the filming of the inside the track series? I totally thought that's what he sounded like all the time. Like he'd been smoking cigarettes for 45 years.

It's probably a bit late - I only recently stumbled onto this video but it's "Little Japan" by Los Lobos off the album Colossal Head (an amazing album).

does anybody know the mic he talks about on 4:21? I think it might be the Shure SM81 cause this guys seem like they have watched the video, but a confirmation would be nice kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jJ1nfMaZ1tTTgmQ.html
