Andy Sneap/ Russ Russell video interviews

Does the preview image for part 3 remind anyone else of David Mitchell's snooker commentator from That Mitchell and Webb Look?

yeah I must admit to being a bit perplexed about that interview when we did it. Its just seems like the wrong idea asking those sorts of questions because you cant hear things how I hear them so ....... the answers got shorter I'm afraid.

Absolutely. I subscribe to SOS and expect more from them than those hack, rushed questions. He did even worse with Russell. He just kept cutting him off with a "yeah yeah" as if 4 words were good enough for an answer---you could see Russell started to just answer with 1 word after that on some things.

But Andy, you really did a great job actually-- considering the interviewer. I though the best thing was how people try copying a specific instrument without regard for the complete mix. Its really come to point that when I hear online mixes I know exactly what Im gonna hear. It sounds like pretending and there are so many of these mixes that I think many listeners have gotten used to these bad mixes to the point where they cant even discern whats good anymore.

My advice to them is to go mix some straight rock or even poprock and try and match the lush texture of those genres and then go back to your mixes and you'll hear how utterly obnoxious they are. Wahish tube screamer sounding midranges and highs that sound like pink noise is not a mix...its a bad impersonation of the real thing
 
"Do you use spectrum analyzers much?"

"Nope."

"Do you use references mixes?"

"Nope."


I laughed my ass off at his responses...

generally the whole interview, Andy seems like, "I just make it sound good, man... get orf my land."

Loved this part!!!! Laughed hysterically when he answered those questions!!!!

Is this guy serious? :hypno:
 
Nice interviews! Would be great if Andy would some day film a whole session (even 1 song from his drawer will do) from micing to mastering.
I'd love to watch and learn (and pay) for that educational dvd if he ever were to make one. C'mon Andy?? :kickass:

I second that...:rock:
 
I need an accent like that hahaha
I know exactly where andy sneap is comong from when he mentioned the vision i wait a week before i record just to get the big picture in my head so im not flyin blindd as they say great minds think alike LOL thats awesome thanks for sharing

I think the most important thing to take home from all these was
"it Depends"
"usually"
"sometimes"
