RIP

Great engineer/producer. Has a crazy energy and wonderful boundless spirit!

What a fascinating personal journey. This information is a treasure. I am intrigued by the topic music cognition - will definitely look into the field. And I absolutely love your description of how a compressor can be used as a way for sound to sit in the background. The analogies about framing a shot for a film and how the various visual changes impact the perspective and emotion of the viewers' experience are wonderful. As one would storyboard a video or film, it seems to me there would be equal value in storyboarding a song.

Is there any particular oscilloscope display in common use for the purpose of tuning, visually?

First and only Audio book I’ve finished so far - his audio book.

An amazing Graduation Event at Abbey Road Studios, congratulations to all of the students 🔥🔥🔥

Congratulations to each and everyone of you . All the best 🎉 enjoy

I'm goin'!!

When Bryan said that he wrote for Vesta, Shanice, Barry, Janet and Sting all of those acts are of course from A&M Records in the 80s. Never knew he was the son of Gene Dozier. Bryan did his best on the MJ Dangerous album in 1991, especially when he did Do the Bartman from Simpsons.

The Crossing and Steeltown, by Big Country. Awesome albums by an amazing band, made real by the talent of Steve Lillywhite. Great producer.

*for wealthy people.

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

She did with MJ the BAD tour and the DANGEROUS tour...what a great memory of life for her ! Jenny you're great and thanks. ❤

How to explain complicated things in a simple way. She's the most articulate person in her field. She has the Prince street cred and now the scientific background, she really is one of a kind. Everything I have read of her, or anything I have heard her say has always made me feel better about my abilities and always allowed me to move one little step forward. Protect her at all costs.

Brilliant. Thank you for this invaluable information, Susan Rodgers.❤

my dream is to study music production in London but it's too expensive there

Interview très inspirante merci pour le partage

I love this guy- so humble, so engaging, and so real. I’ve learned so much from his talks.

I really wanted to hear his stories about how Michael would sing his musical parts and hear entire tracks in his head and expect everyone to help him bring his vision to life

I am still listening to Bryan Loren! Espcially the Song with Michael Jackson "Satisfy You"...Happy New Year 2024 to You and Community!

Daxz why you delete all your stuff

The debut albums he did for Vesta and Shanice are ICONIC!!!

Thanks, Tom!

Great sound. I have the same turntable. Really considering that AT cartridge. Do you know what headshell you used?

Lmao! Steve summed up Brian Eno! lol

I’m glad Steve produced U2. I don’t think their albums would’ve been the same without him.

after moving to abbey road will i be able to work in big houses like universal music atlantic rec I really love the abbey roads history by the way

This guy did the rap on black or white

Are you open for international students?

I would like to know the prices of the music production and sound engineering course. I can't find the information anywhere. Regards

He did s great job with So Alone by Johnny Thunders. Bought it on vinyl when it came out I 1978 & still play it.

Responsible for how famous MJ became

This interview is invaluable. What a smoking hot drum sound.

How does one get invited to these songwriting camps ?

100% agree about gear being “meh”…I will, however, say that the IK SSL emulations are top shelf. About ten years ago, I used them on a pretty important record in my career and they sounded incredible. Very, shockingly faithful to the consoles. I’ve since shifted to the waves strips because the CPU hit is so much lighter. Maybe I’ll dust that stuff off at some point for busses or something. I don’t know if it’s changed but the one thing that used to suck about IK was its infrastructure…you had to buy “points” and get plugins through their “custom shop”. Hopefully they’ve done away with that 😑

So intrigued by this amazing artist, especially the work he did with Michael. Making demo from ~84-‘86.. The nucleolus of my favorite period of MJ artistic life.

I just love this guy. Rest in peace Al...

I live in Russia, and we don't have the same level as the Abbey Road Institute, and this imposes some limitations in knowledge. there is a feeling that you lose heart, and you think why am I doing all this ..? watching such videos, I find support from a distance! Good job Solomon, you lit a spark. the best motivation for me🙂

I am from India ....can I enroll in this institute?

😷🙂🙂

Yo

I love the deesser trick! I usually use a frequency side-chain HF cut EQ, often with a frequency specific compressor with just enough mix information to position it in separation to all frequencies above my cut limit. But using the deesser is brilliant; as it allows for high cut without subjecting frequencies below that threshold to any artifacts or coloration. Thanks, man!

AL Schmitt "I turn down jobs if I don't like the desk" ARI have Al sat infront of a SSL, one of the desk's that made him turn down work 🤣

I'm tired of holding my phone waiting for a worthy comment to make but after the understanding of this concept, which Susan so blissfully esposed my mind rejects everything to say... I can't not thank her, 'though... This MI graduate THANKS YOU 🙏

Shout out to the electrifying mojo midnight funk association! The soundtrack of the 80's in Detroit!

Thank you for you sir. The world is getting to know The King much better because of all of your work. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🌻🌻🌻

Great artist, I've always been a big fan. I love how characteristic Kenny Larkin's voice is. Apart from the big club tracks, he can make such pretty music too, like Amethyst, where it's all for the love of the cosmic electric tone - like Derrick May's timeless track 'Icon'. I think you can hear some of Larkin's particular style come through a bit in some great soulful techno artists that followed him, like Patrice Scott and EP's like Motions. Good interview too, I like how respectful he was, but without fawning, and just got out of the way transparently - like clean recording channel :) I get his point, but there are classically trained musicians that make great techno, people like Matthew Dekay. But like he said, it needs to be approached as an artist rather than a trained musician. Modern 'classical' musician training is a lot more artistic, broadly based and culturally aware than it used to be. And, Matthew's approach is more similar to Larkin's than different, loves the sounds and hands on playable technology. And he plays everything in live, by feel, in takes - Lost in a Moment isn't a million miles away from Larkin, especially in vibe, timbres, spaciousness and cosmic outlook.

Amazing.
