There are no recording engineers like this any longer. His integrity with the quality of the huge hits he recorded and produced is unparalleled.

We are honored as always.

Swedien is an AMAZING engineer - and what a resume! He has worked with everyone from Duke Ellington and Count Basie to Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson. As an engineer, I've learned so much, and have been so influenced by him over the years, ( 35 years now) by listening to his work and others like him ( Parsons, Nichols, Dowd, Emerick, etc.,). I've never met Bruce, so he would have no way of knowing just how much he has taught me, and I'm sure he has influenced hundreds of other engineers he has never met, too. For certain, Bruce is one of those cookers who has "golden ears". And it's not JUST the gorgeous tones that he dials in, but is also the placement of the tracks - the depth, the space - and the respect for the dynamics and the music; to mix to what the song is calling out for. If it's not being done already, Bruce Swedien's work should be required listening and study by students at audio engineering schools.

Imagine the world without this fellas!

Why does Bruce have to be so cool? I love that man. 🎶

Like the Master said, "Listen THROUGH the equipment, Not TO the equipment"!!! *Wisdom!!

My favourite comment by Mr. Swedien (attributed to Bill Putnam): "before you get your mix, choose the mics or anything.... go out and listen to the band."

Great video..I produced this track "The Moon & I" For Lisa Green and its great to hear this song in the hands of the greats…..Nigel Lowis

"The Moon & I" by Lisa Greene. She's a songwriter who is about to release her debut solo album (a jazzy album). She has written a lot for Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue and more :). She's going to show another part of her :)

harrison is a great desk, worked a lot on them back in the day.

i like people who know what they talking about,i realy do,whatBruce said realy counts in my hemispheare

I wonder what Bruce would think about the new Mixbus32c and compare it to the console? Please Harrison, make this happen, that would be awesome!

RIP Mr. Bruce Sweden.

this guy doesn't get enough credit for what he's done for the music industry

Brilliant ~ Loved every second of this! R__d

That 4032 gives me so much memories of my time when I was a second engineer at Starlight Sound in Richmond, CA...( Ohhh yes, 617 S. 13th st), The MCI, the Ampex, giving out the free beer on the overnight sessions... So much memories. Then again, what was the analouge gear of the MJ recordings?

"It's really close..." ;-)

Are these Auratones C5 on the desk? Anyone? Thanks.

Amen!

MASTERRRRRRR

What are those VU meters in the middle of the console?

@toodeadbroke I got the chance to use Sony MCI's at a recording school and it was awesome

Bill Putnam's number one disciple.

I would never believe a plug-in able to replace a physical unit.

good to see the manufactured "music industry" is no long the power/influence that it was. cringe af
