The point when you realize you're hooked.You come to KZfaq just for a few minutes to check if there's by any chance something interesting to see before you go to bed. An hour later you catch yourself having watched an entire episode of Produce Like a Pro. And you didn't even want to watch it because you were tired. Hooked I tell you. :)

Just so you know, this is still being enjoyed to bits in 2020. You and Joe should really do a podcast together, that would make for some great content, I could listen to you guys talk about those modules all day. Thanks from Belgium !

Oh come on. I was waiting for the guitar amp tour the entire video. "We could talk about the amp collection for years" and boom: jump cut to the outro. I'm in tears :D

I love sound engineering."It is wired wrong but it works." Such a great guy and studio tour.

This studio is almost complete. Just needs a few more outboard boxes.

32:45 Joe's dry sense of humour cracks me up. I love coming back to this video from time to time and randomly picking a part to watch, I always walk away learning something. Thanks Warren!

OMG! This was such an educational video! Thanks Warren! What a privilege it is to hang with the studio pros who have made producing what it is. Joe is such an encyclopedia of the craft. What an incredible gear collection. I cannot thank you enough for sharing this info.And as an added bonus, this video completely cured my guilt over my own gear collection (lol)!

This is an absolute gold mine of invaluable information! Joe seems like a really chilled out and intelligent guy too. Cheers for this Warren!

This is so good. I've been binge watching everything... It pushes me to try new things, to dare to make mistakes, and do things in a different way. I've been out of the recording and production loop for a while and last week I just set everything up next to me, and already started recording stuff for a few friends, enjoying it so much more than before, focusing on creativity instead of following trends. You guys are really sending a great message to all of us, so I want to thank you. I'm a big fan of yours, keep it up.

This might be the best episode of produce like a pro! I've watched it 3 times! haha. Also, I can't wait for the next episode at Joe's studio. Thanks Warren!

Whats wonderful about what you're doing is that this is SOOO entertaining and informative for today. But, really, in many years time, when the "new" group of 40 yr old "Old Guys" (who are 10 yrs old today) go searching for what the guys back in the day used to do and what gear they used they are gonna find this treasure trove of videos from you. You have so much QUALITY material you could make a serious documentary with all your stuff. So cool.

Joe is so humble. Put's you at ease without even trying.

Joe is so inspirational! And i love seeing the both of u guys talk about all these fantastic pieces of equipment. Just so much love, passion, knowledge and excitement. Thank u so much for this video!!

Thanks again Warren.. keep coming back to rewatch this time and time again!

Joe's a great guy

Please do a part two! I had the great pleasure and privilege of working with Joe years ago and he is a real gent and master of his craft. Love him and love the channel. Thanks so much. It's changed my life and I will be signing up for the academy soon. All the best, Warren :)

I now 100 percent know I am a Pro Music Producer and Songwriter and a wanna be Recording Engineer. I will never ever ever ever be that smart! What I need to do is partner up with a really talented recording engineer that can do and learn all that crazy real recording stuff. Thank you God for pro tools and all music related software! In the box roles!!!

Joe seems like such a warm hearted guy... I would give what I don't have to be produced by him

Best video yet Warren !! Thank you so much mate ! Have a marvellous time recording legend

Jesse Hughes said "There are a lot of magicians around these days but very few wizards." Well, Joe Barresi is a true wizard, one of the very few, completely original and mesmerizing. And the Spinal Tap reference killed me right from the start. I'll stop there because I could praise this man's work for days on end. Great job on this fantastic interview Warren! Thank you and Joe as well.

Even though this isn't my profession nor do I understand properly what they are talk about, it's still amazing to hear 2 passionate and talent people talk about their craft.

Amazing stuff! Thanks Warren - looking forward to a tour of Joe's guitar collection...

Wow that was great. I ended up with about a dozen tabs open by the end of the video just to learn about all that gear! Always love hearing from Joe. Now to go down the rabbit hole of watching your other videos.... Great stuff man!

Just re-watched this for the 10th time, I think I know most of it by heart..We need some new stuff from this corner of the world! Would really be great to re-visit Joe in his HOC studio, especially after his latest sonic masterpiece, namely Tool's Fear Inoculum

Fantastic. I really appreciate this channel and videos like this. Full of information. Videos like these are what makes youtube incredible. The fact that I can sit here and soak up knowledge from the two of you is just amazing to me. Thanks.

Joe's studio is mind blowing!!! If i had one wish that could come true i would wish i could be an apprentice to him working in his studio and being able to hear all those amazing pieces of gear and learn how to use them. That would be a dream come true. I LOVE analog gear so much, but being a poor person i have never had access to it.

Gawd..I love the studio Tours ..thanks Warren

He is wonderful to listen to. Thanks again for your constant work

You are producing QUALITY content at a crazy pace; It's hard to keep up! I'm finally getting around to watching the whole interview. There's so much great information here! This was an excellent interview and gear show!! I'm a fan.

A veritable smorgasbord of outboard gear and amps, along with two very knowledgeable dudes giving insights into them. Great work guys!

Man, these video's are great. A real service. Thank you

Ummm.... my brain shut down five minutes in. I wish I were a fly on the wall during the TOOL sessions. I love his recording/mixing philosophy. Thanks for sharing this Warren, Joe.

You have no idea of how much I enjoy every single episode, it's like the Music production version of "Game of thrones", thanks a lot. Cheers.

Thank you Warren, this serie is gold

Wonderful interview with another one of the greats! Thank you!

This was an incredibly inspiring interview session!! Thanks to you and Joe, for sharing so many great ideas and suggestions for improving and fattening sound while tracking/mixing in the digital domain… on a "guitar-pedal budget"!!

Looking forward to the next video with Joe... this guy is amazing!

i had so much stuff to do but I promised myself I was just gonna watch the first 10 minutes of it... HAHAHAHA Fantastic interview, Warren. That guy is a living legend. So inspiring...

Joe is so laid back. I dug the relaxed vibe on this one as y'all explored the gear.

Hey, I know it very much later but I'd love to see you get back to Joe's. Watched his 10 questions and 10 favorite pedals videos with Dave Pensado. Good stuff.

some of the best collection of hardware I've ever seen

Baldwin Hamilton pianos rock...that's what we had in the practice rooms at Otterbein College (Westerville, Ohio) where I studied...amazing pianos. I was lucky enough to buy one at auction here in my town when they tore down the old high school. Built like a tank, hold their tuning forever, and great tone...a studio piano that I prefer over a bunch of higher priced pianos I have played over the years. Thanks for all your great videos, Warren, such a pleasure to see how all these different but amazingly talented folks work!

Love it! Joe seems like a real nice guy! please make more with him!

Completely brilliant. Loved every morsel of info and felt like a kid in a candy shop. Certainly miss all my analog (now "vintage") gear I stupidly sold back in the '90's!

Watched and enjoyed every second. Thanks guys! Loved the PYEs. Those are my favorite compressors. Love equipment. Thank you

Warren, thank you for these kinds of videos. I love them. You are a great interview too. Very inspirational indeed! Greetings from Chesham, Bucks 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Best Quote "If Jimi didn't use it I don't need it!" -Joe Barresi

Ok , Joe is my new favorite Dude for the moment. This makes me very happy. Heck yea!

Such casual Guinness. I say that with great admiration. Creating unique effects and sounds in the real world and the way they are captured to make music are all a creative perspective. The way it's always been. Down right philosophical.

thanks for this joe and warren. just watched it again a year later. Please consider doing a second / follow up video where joe takes us thru his guitar / amp / pedal choices ., and micing choices. excellent interview and series., thanks so much.

I grew up listening to AR18s! I still have them. I love those speakers. Speaking of some fun old hi fi gear for the control room, I have my dad's old dbx 119s that are warm and musical. Being a desperate poor indie, I also absconded my dad's SAE power amps and JBL 4311s - that is what I use to mix. Another great video, Warren, thanks!

Great once again Warren. Keep it up, I'm watching every one.

Thanks for the fantastic show!!!

one of my favorite engineers...awesome.

haha, Warren, this was a great one mate! this is my kind of recording i do daily - it Really hit home with me & the philosophy of exploring new ways to capture the sounds, or, alternatively, how to produce different sonic footprints. This is the essence of music recording as an art form. marrying that with technique gives endless hours of work, and creativity . RAGE man.

Stephen Desper who invented the Desper Spatializer , engineered The Beach Boys Sunflower and Surfs Up album. He’s a fabulous talent, and a very kind man. One of the greatest engineers of all time .

Fantastic interview, Warren! As usual, very informative and inspirational videos... Keep em' coming :) You and Joe are legends!

Thanks Warren and Joe!

Wow that was killer! inspiring , when I first heard Queens of the stone age I thought man somebody is getting it right and the art of sound recording is not lost. that bass distortion and those harmony vocals are classic , great work Joe

Ahhhh what a great interview you and Joe and gear what more could you want!!!

Puh.....hard to find words for such a huge collection.....no, I give up.... :-) Very very very impressive....., and (!) it seems Joe is an awesome guy. I could easily watch & listen for hours & hours, days & days.... Thanks Joe. Thanks ever so much, Warren. Thanks for bringing such info to us in our homes. Invaluable. Best Greetings from Germany, Michael

Oh Hell Yea!!! Another highly enjoyable video, thank you so much warren for all that you do extremely entertaining!!!!

Met Joe many years ago at Sound City, one of the nicest guys in the biz!

Thanks Warren e Joe! Very nice informations, pure gold.

Thanks Warren, Joe Barresi is the real deal and a super creative engineer.

Between this episode and Hybrid Studio episodes you're really out-doing yourself lately. Absolutely fantastic! BTW: NHT = 'Now Hear This' a great company focused on maximum price/performance ratio, great gear for the most part. Joe is so soft spoken, usually a sign of bombastic sonics creeping into the framework somehow, can't contain those devils, they'll crop up somewhere...lol...

I am in Love with this Studio May i Move in there ^^ warren Great Job like allways

great episode warren! please pursue more vids w/ joe barresi. how refreshing to hear someone w/ sooo much gear constantly emphasizing the oldschool "record it differently, and creatively" mentality. also tons of great ideas on crazy signal flows... and Peavey! totally agree! i, too, grew up w/ em. it seems that only pros can admit, with pride, that they love their cheap gear- maybe even a bit more than their expensive gear. most everyone else thinks cost=performance/value. exceptions like Peavey dont get alot of love, so it's cool to hear it from others, however rare. anyways, great job, warren!

Thanks, Warren!! You're the best!

So in case anyone wasn't counting, that's 9,497 buttons and knobs. Not including the SSL desk. _(but I happen to know, that there are over 3,000 on his console..)_ And that doesn't include all the knobs on the gear in the Live room, and all the amplifiers either. That's an awful lot of buttons & pots to clean, de-crackle and service. And you have to wonder how many times those 13,000 buttons and knobs have been pressed and turned over their lifetimes..!! Keep up the good work Warren. Such an awesome interview, and awesome series of videos. Thank you.

why can't i like it more than once?

Amazing video guys! Joe can you please keep doing new recordings and final mix processing for Platinum Samples and ToonTrack? Your drum mixes/recordings sound huge and amazing!! Your drum productions are the best I've ever heard. The Glamoflauge kit is Legendary! MORE EXPANSION PACKS PLEASE

Thanks, Warren. You just ruined my morning! I'm personally blaming you and Joe for killing all productivity this Thanksgiving day. I hopped on You Tube to play some music as I started to prep for a wonderful evening with family and friends. BUT NO! You Tube recommended your interview with Joe and there, right out the window, went all of my good cooking intentions. Argh... What an amazing conversation. So much information. So much guidance. So much gear! I thank (and curse) you both. As always a truly fantastic job. P.S. It's with great irony that I, a Yank, wish you, a Brit, a very Happy Thanksgiving! ;)

Really likes his works with Chevelle. Underrated band.

Fantastic interview of a true master at his craft. Thanx a lot.

Gear overload. Head exploding. Fantastic interview.

Joe is the man! Great interview. Thanks, Warren.

I got to tell you Warren, your videos, have become an everyday morning habit along with my coffee... keep those videos coming..!!! Great video with Joe Baresi, very inspiring!!! Got to go and try out some stuff that came to my mind while watching the video... Thank you!!! All the best greetings from Greece!!!

Great episode. So cool.

Absolutely love Joe’s work on New Model Army’s - Between dog and wolf album. Fantastic album 💙🤘

These interviews with producer masters are always very inspirational and they are actually comforting me that I'm not making mistakes when I chose a shitty gear or plug-in over the hyped ones or when I leave some weird stuff or even mistakes in the music. It doesn't need everything to be pristine all the time. Great video!

Thanks for this resource, its also such an entertaining video

LOVE THIS VIDEO.

your videos Warren are the BEST in KZfaq.. by far..!! We appreciate it soooo much!! I was @ NAMM this last weekend.. hoped to see you there. You should be picked by Mix with the Masters.. I would soooo sign up for that.. The tip on calibrating your protools rig for accepting "hotter" signal from the neve 1073 just made my day!!! I have that problem too.. and didn't know how to best approach it.. Now I'm enlighten!!! thanks to you and Joe.. Cheers

Joe Barresi has a very open mind when it comes to creating a sound. His guitar sound is Sick!

when you guys are talking about the spectrasonics 610 I realized what Joe does with his is similar to what Andrew Scheps did with his setup, going into a transient designer then to the comp top get more length out of the snare...Great minds think alike! I very much dig both of those guys...good stuff!!

wow amazing ! thanks for the video!

He did New Model Army's Between Dog and Wolf, and Between Wine and Blood. Both are super amazing mixes. Wide as hell too.

That was awesome! ... would love to do Joe's courses.

What an awesome wall of gear 😍😍😍

How could anyone dislike this? To dislike this video is to dislike music in general! Great show as always Warren. So glad I've found this and subscribed. Looking forward to more excellent videos. Btw, perhaps you could swing by Muscle Shoals and check out a studio. We have a very historic studio and some nice modern studios as well. Cheers

PLEASE make another tour with Joe. Please. I would love to hear him talk about microphones and all the other gear in the back

If we reap what we sow, then you're destined for greatness. Thanks for sharing knowledge instead of keeping it to yourself. We need more like you guys!

Hi Warren. Just tucking into this video. Marvellous ;) Producer Bob Marlette and I mixed Tony Iommi's solo record "Fused" on this console back in 2003 over Xmas and New Year. A great fun time and another chapter in my, so far, awesomely fun career. Keep up the videos my friend - they are fun to watch and learn from :) All the best Mike

Wow! These are some awesome "toys". :-) That's a video I will come back to a few times and take notes. Must be fantastic having the gear, the knowledge and experience to get the sound you are after (or very close) already when tracking. Great video, Warren, as always. You guys really know what you are talking about.

i can't stop watching this. (and putting in the lotto).

crazy, crazy amount of gear!

Excellent vid.

Awesome. Please more with Joe, if you can swing it. Phenomenal guy, crazy amazing gear.

"It's just my friend Pete." Love it.
