David Bendeth

[Machinated]

I'm really fascinated by this guy, his track record is pretty mad.

David Bendeth discography

he seems to work with bands, particularly on the main single being released, and has done stuff with bands andy has worked with (AILD, KSE).

he's also credited for writing for bands like paramore/madina lake etc who have gone on to be pretty damn successful. regardless of what you think of the bands the songwriting is really focussed and executed perfectly - which im sure is what bendeth brings to the table....

im curious as to what extend he was involved on the kse and aild stuff, andy - do you know anything about his involvement?

 

[Machinated]

pretty cool interview

tracks at 96000 in nuendo, doesnt really use plugins

His studio is literally 5 minutes from my house. I was trying to intern there but they never got back to me. :-(

yeah i saw he posted a thread in gearslutz asking about interns but it was a really old thread.

id love to learn from him, he learned with randy staub from bob ezrin - not a bad teacher!

 

[ConspiracyBass]

His mix on the new Underoath is ridiculously good. His mix on Candiria's 'What doesn't kill you...' is awesome as well.

 

[GarethSE]

This guy mixed the latest underoath?
sick, that mix is incredible

 

[Machinated]

yeah i loved what he did with the underoath mix, I think I prefer it to CLA's mix actually.

also if you haven't heard his stuff with emery its really good, quite similar band to underoath.

 

[MetalJonesy]

his work on breaking benjamin is ace, his style suits that style of more melodic, pop rock i think!

 

[chuck1703]

This guy has pretty much produced no bands I like, yet hes one of my fav producers, Like I'm not a Underoath fan, but the drum sound on that latest album is awesome.

 

[JoshSylosis]

This guy ruuules! The Paramore album sounds insaaane

 

[J.DavisNJ]

I think I need to email him again about interning. That would be so ideal!

This guy ruuules! The Paramore album sounds insaaane

+1... Machinated and I have been going back and forth for days now on MSN about how genius this album is.


This guy is probably my favorite mixer, in all honesty. Breaking Benjamin, Emery, Paramore, Underoath... these albums sound fucking ridiculous! Maybe not as rocketship-esque as CLA's, but goddamn do they have way more vibe!

Which Paramore album would this be? "Riot"?

-Joe

 

[Machinated]

yeah he did riot.

i love how on stuff he produces, he keeps the song lengths way down and to the point. not a song over 4 mins on the paramore album. also no songs over 4 mins on the madina lake album he did.

 

[JeffTD]

Only 1 on Phobia, 1 on the new Emery, and only 2 on the new Set Your Goals, as well!

 

[MetalJonesy]

Phobia is a very well produced album, but the song that Bendeth mixed isnt one of my favs of the album actually, and in some ways i prefer the rest of the mix on the album than just that track :-/ he's still a stellar producer/mixer though.

He only mixed Diary of Jane acoustic, intro, and outro. The rest was Ben Grosse, with CLA mixing the one track Diary of Jane, which is the worst mix on it IMO.

 

[MetalJonesy]

whos CLA? lol

my fav tunes of that record are until the end and had enough, love the dark sound the mix has to reflect the song!

CLA = Chris Lord-Alge
