Bob Clearmountain and CLA interview

[ArthurD]

What an EGO CLA has... GOsh

 

[crillemannen]

Yeah agree! His just making an ass of himself, at least sitting next to such a humble person as Clearmountain.

 

[superfreak]

Definitely. I wish he had let Clearmountain do most of the talking.

 

[jamvanman]

Really enjoyed that, txs. The bit right at the end really summed up CLA and BC nicely!

 

[Pedro Teixeira]

CLA is so obnoxious. So full of himself... Jesus

 

[ArthurD]

Definitely. I wish he had let Clearmountain do most of the talking.

There is so little information on how cleamountain works... I would love to see how he mics drums

he really needs to cut that skullet...

 

[HOFX]

he really needs to cut that skullet...

Yes!

Two things:
- Mix engineer is only as good as the tracks they get. Both Bob and Chris had right place right time moments to get their careers started.

- One thing CLA said (can't remember where) is that if you want to make a career as a mix engineer, you have to be better than the current guys, let them know you're coming for them.

I guess that extends to the general opinion towards Joey Sturgis around here, that the best way to knock him off his perch is to mix songs better than him.

Bob seems like a really nice guy.

Thanks for posting. CLA wasn't as bad as I imagined while reading your comments. Quite entertaining cause their personalities are so different. That kinda shows you can have every character to become a famous mixer, as long as you are good in what you do.

 

[Alphanumeric]

CLA is is the living embodiment from dark side of the 80s.

 

[Mago]

Just watch it and I really enjoyed it. I think CLA would be cool to work with. he may be obnoxious a bit, but I know that when it's all said and done I would have learned a lot.

Love CLA!
