A bunch of friends that have gone the same route—rooms full of drum machines, tabletop synths, standalone sequencers, modular systems, Eurorack madness, etc. Unfortunately, my brain is wired such that if something can't integrate perfectly into and recall perfectly with any Logic project, I just can't bother. My three remaining hardware synths (Arturia MatrixBrute, Moog Subsequent 37, Roland JP-8080) are a blast to play, but for music production, they don't really get used. Maybe a weird effect here or a transition sweep there, but they're tracked as audio immediately.
Anxious to watch this! I love a lot of his work. While Superunknown was one of the first CD’s I ever bought, I wasn’t paying attention to producers much until my 20’s. When Korn came out with that album he did with them I remember cranking it on a killer set of speakers, kinda on the fence if I was digging it or not and then “Alone I Break” came on and I laughed my ass off.
I remember reading an interview in a guitar mag with Munky and Head and they said they made life hell for the producer on that album, so I had two conclusions after hearing that song-
1- The producer was so pissed he convinced them this song would be great, knowing they’d get laughed at for putting something out like that, in retribution for putting him through hell.
2- Korn was full on selling out and the record label hired this pop producer guy to assist them in doing so.
20 years later, it’s been a staple song in their set and Korn‘s long solidified they just do what they want to do at the time. I still go grab a beer when they’ve played it when I’ve seen them.
He seems like a guy that would both get it in spades, and also handle it well.
Thanks SoE! I am on the last chapter of that amazing book you recommended to me a couple of years ago.
It is so good, and provoked so much thought inside of me that I have to digest it slowly. I think it should be
required reading for every lover of music.
That's funny.
When he was announced as the Producer on the follow up to Badmotorfinger (love Terry Date!)
I was a bit miffed about it to be honest.
It worked out.
He mentions in the video (not to spoil it) about how he has had to repeatedly earn the respect and trust
of the artists he worked with. He was often a label hire and not the band's first choice.
Hahaha HARD relate to this. I remember the album leaking with a different track order and names, and was trying to work out “is this actually it?” and when I heard Alone I Break I was praying it was some kind of elaborate joke.Anxious to watch this!

Tbf, the AC/DC Back in Black thing is more of just a straight detune and delay rather than the micropitchshift effect (which is up and down like 9-11 cents or so with some delay).
Oh god yes, if anything was ever made for drums since the sticks, it is this compressor. I have this one
