I have a few. My first was going in with my band to record a demo at ATR Studio in Lafayette Ca. And the engineer was complaining about working to much and I jumped on that and asked if he wanted to train someone. He said yes and I quit my job the next day and walked into the studio. I got lucky not just because I was now in a studio, but the person that was one of my mentors was Dr. Richie Moore (Beach Boys, Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Huey Lewis & The News, Country Joe McDonald, Tom Waits, Cold Blood, the Neville Brothers, Pablo Cruise and many others.) He was a great teacher and when there was nothing in the studio I was there playing with everything and learning. ATR was known for doing the pre-production work on Eddie Money's albums My next is when I purchased my first DAW Sonic Solutions and started my focus on film sound design and was introduced to the post production manager at Saul Zaentz Film Center, I ended up doing my first feature film and took it in to Scott at Saul Zaentz screening room and he liked my work and we began a partnership where they gave me one film to do and I brought another in and we mixed both films there. Sad to say the center is not really there anymore. Now I am back in music.
I had a chance to work with Paul Zaleski (Al Green's producer) and mix a track that he had recorded in Memphis in the early 90's. I also played a little guitar on it as well. The other guitarist was really good and I asked who he was. Joe Walsh!!! So I got to play on the same track with Joe Walsh...albeit 30 years apart! LOL!!!
@@bobbeals2893 wow! Thanks ever so much Bob for sharing!
@@KernSound thanks ever so much for sharing! Wonderful stuff!
@@KernSound a great story of how you got your start!
I'm always amazed by how humble this guy is. But I'm guessing that's one reason why he has gotten to work
with some of the biggest artists of our time, through being a friendly guy that people want to know.
Very humble and insanely talented!
That opening was hilarious. You learn something every day.
No comment!
Mickey Curry, awesome groove drummer. Cuts like a Knife, listen to that groove!
Mickey played on The Cult - Sonic Temple. Todd Cochrane’s album with Life is a Highway. Definitely check out Mickey on Hall and Oates - Live at the Apollo with the Temptations...what a drummer.
Mickey’s playing on Into the Fire is so good, and drum sound is awesome!
Thanks for this interview!
Bob was the first international rockstar producer I ever met. He was working with a local band, The Church and he was an awesome character.
That's great tp hear Luke!
I loved this. Bob Clearmountain is so legendary but without the big ego that usually accompanies that kind of legend. Thank you for posting this!
Hall and Oats and Bryan Adams. Bruce Springsteen, Aerosmith. Are you kidding me??!!?!? Modest and huge at the same time. A rare combination indeed! I love that you give a glimpse of the backstage of producing and mixing. Thank you, Warren for being another one of those huge, modest artists.
The best of the best!! Thanks Bob!
Your enthusiasm is infectious and your respect and admiration for Bob is easy to watch. What great thrill to sit with the master.
Thanks Philiip! It's easy to be in awe when you get to chat with the greatest mixer in the world!
Cuts Like A Knife is still one of my favorite albums, end to end, all good songs. I feel like Red Rider deserves to be mentioned in the same breath. Probably just a memory glitch.
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
Loved Bryan since LonelyNights saw him
At the Bitter End in the early 80’s on the cuts like a knife tour. Stevie Ray Vaughn opened up for him which was also amazing to see . The audience was filed with Rock royalty i was sitting between John Waite and Rick Nielsen from cheap trick .
Thanks ever is much for sharing!
As always, amazingly inspiring to learn from Bob Clearmountain! Love the story with the printed paper full of credits haha
Thanks ever so much Ady!
I love it. Mr. Clearmountain always has the best stories !
Agreed 100% Edwin!
who was the band that couldn't be mentioned?? intrigued.. Bob's name was all over 80s music and it's great to hear every snippet from that lifetime of achievement.. hes just a legend simply..
He's such a huge part of so many amazing albums! Please check out the other videos we've done with him here:- czcams.com/play/PLnLOmVwRMCqSn6FeNS50Bq5-HO9oCWVsS.html
Warren, I've always really appreciated your videos, but I want to say that this interview is an excellent example (and inspiration to me as someone who frequently interviews others, though not for video) of the sort of comradely, engaged, serious, yet kind and generous interview that I aspire to. Really great. The occasional struggle the two of you get into here, between him downplaying his accomplishments and you underlining them, was charming. Thank you.
Wow! Thanks ever so much for the extremely kind words Erik! So glad to be able to help!
Bob has created a sound which is soooooo amazing. Such a great guy who mixes music in a musical way which just always sounds great to the ear. Amazing interview!!!
Bob is simply the BEST. Great interview as ALWAYS!
Yes! He is!
The great bob clearmountain...
Yes! Truly amazing
He worked with Deacon Blue on the Raintown album, still one of my favourites since its release in 1987. Not one weak track from a band who should have been much bigger outside of the UK.
Thanks for bringing back so many good memories Bob. Like the night at Electric Lady when we added that "secret' synth to Summer of 69. So glad you called me back in '80 to come down to SIR to meet this 'kid with good songs.' Beginning of (2) long friendship(s).
Love these stories! Bob is friggin awesome!!
He's so amazing!
so cool, i love all those bryan adams records, thank u for this
Thanks André! Bob is amazing!
Loved Bryan Adams since Cuts like a knife - they even released the earlier albums on cheap cassettes - which were not that bad - Still have my copy of Reckless on Blue Vinyl - good interview
Thanks Chris! I really appreciate it!
Great interview as ever Warren. Bob is just a super star!
He's truly amazing!
@@Producelikeapro He is our inspiration,.
@@alunsworth6792 yes, indeed!
oh man.....is there a part two??? i could listen to this conversation much longer!!!!
Hi Mark, here is a playlist:- czcams.com/play/PLnLOmVwRMCqSn6FeNS50Bq5-HO9oCWVsS.html
Thank You! 🙋🏻♂️
Thanks Jocke!
Lovely interview, thank you Warren, thanks Bob. The musical of equivalent of Steve Jobs or Wozniak! I agree!
Thanks ever so much David!
Fantastic Interview!!
Thanks ever so much Sam!
Much of the 70's and 80's musical connection I feel was forged between NY and LONDON. Of course it hit us in Yorkshire and Manchester, Scotland etc 🇬🇧🇺🇸
@@whichwayiszigzag it certainly did!
Yes, lots of Germany Synth Pop as well!
Thanks so much Warren and Bob for letting us hang out with you guys! So cool! 😎 Totally Inspirational 💙 Sounds like The Record Plant in NYC was a very happening place in the 80's. Sooo amazing that Berklee College was able to acquire that legendary studio a few years back, and preserve it and keep it operational. It's sad that many classic studios don't get to live on. Thanks Berklee College ;) Thanks Warren!!! Cheers guys! 👍
I use to see the Shirts around NYC in 1981 and I can still remember how great they were! There's one song I've been looking for by them and the hook was something like " With you by my side we could start a whole new world just a few light years way from here", It's an Awesome tune that has stuck in my head for over 40 years!
Another great interview Warren, thanks so much for continuing these types of videos. I really enjoy them, so great to get some insight on the records I grew up listening to.
Thanks ever so much for the great comment!
I could listen to Bob for days - he’s such an easy going, humble man on top of being such an amazing talent. His discog is just legend. Cheers Mr. Clearmountain and thank you so much for your amazing work! Warren, great job as usual !
Thanks ever so much! Yes, Bob's credit list is incredible!
Love your videos, Warren. Always so insightful especially with the UK stuff! Great to see the Vancouver scene getting some love here! I was lucky to play a recording session with Keith Scott and Pat Steward a few years ago. Both great guys and fantastic players as you’d expect.
Keep up the good work….and let me know if you ever need some keys. 🙂
Awesome video. I think Bob has tons of great stories, wold be great to hear a few more.
Best breakthrough music wise, was when your good self, Warren, told me I had a good ear and me Production ideas were good. That was the green light I needed to keep going at this ( I am not blowing smoke at you )
Great video, more with Bob Clearountain
WARREN: Great Job as always!
COULD YOU DO THIS KIND OF INTERVIEW (GEAR/TRICK WISE ALSO) with Randy Staub?
Either this gentelman doesn't like "press" but He is for me the best mixing engenner in the world in terms of clarity for radios with insane amount of lower end.
RANDY STAUB! Who's with me?
That's an amazing idea! He's very talented!
@@Producelikeapro Yeap - Bob Rock great school of Mixing as they were mostly well known for working/working together with Metallica era from Black Album to S&M.
If someone can "make Him talk" interesting, seeing Yours studio talks/gear/trick/setings from Joe Barresi and others, It's You Warren, so I hope that sooner than later You will invite Him.
CLA should have a contact to Him, couse they were working together on mixing 1-2 Nickelback records and Warehouse studio (Brian Adams studio) has a contact to Him for sure.
Cheers from Poland and have a wonderful weekend!
@@gutekzpoligonu thanks ever so much! I will try!
Fantastic! More of this, please!
Thanks ever so much
What a great interview. Thank you for this. I just wish I was important enough to work with you two!And a good enough songwriter. I think that might help.
Thanks ever so much Jeremy!
Mickey Curry played with Hall and Oates as well.
Thanks for sharing!
Warren have you ever produced a artist who maybe you weren’t crazy about but were paid huge amounts of money to do the job ? If so was the main object to make the record sonically great or just try to focus on any potential hit song ?
I make everything my own! I make sure that I put all my heart and soul into it and fall in love with music
Please do an interview with Bill Szymczyk!!!
That would be amazing!
is that....Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis atop the monitor watching over Bob's ssl?
Yes! I believe so!
He mixed Candy From A Stranger by Soul Asylum, would've been cool to see what would have happened had he produced.
Great story. Is this possibly how Bryan Adams Jim Vallance came to write on KISS' Creatures of the Night which Bob mixed?
Great question!
@@Producelikeapro Jim Vallance has fairly detailed histrionics on his personal website. But the drum sound on COTN is epic Bob Clearmountain. Listening carefully, you'll hear the parallel with the Max Weinberg snare which if memory serves me, used the same bathroom chamber that I associate with Bob's glossy massive snare sound. Why KISS didn't keep partnering with BC for future records eludes logic. Such an important mix engineer, once the faceless man responsible for so much music, and now we get him having chats with the Wazza. It's such a good life hey
✌️ 🎶 🎶 Stay safe and well kind man
I’ve always thought the snare drum on the albums Reckless and Into The Fire sounded awesome. I wonder if it was the same snare?
That's a great question!
Hello my friend! How are you? I have a simple question. What are your thoughts about the wesaudio WesAudio Beta76 FET Compressor/Limiter and the Daking FET III 2-channel Compressor. I am looking for a unit like this for tracking pretty much everything… kind a versatile compressor. Thank you in advance for your answer. Have a marvelous day!
I'm a huge fan of Wes Audio! I've always really enjoyed everything they've made!
😃❤️
Thanks Audrey
Add more Phils to a song? How many Phils do you need?
Any more of this interview??
Yes! Loads! czcams.com/play/PLnLOmVwRMCqSn6FeNS50Bq5-HO9oCWVsS.html
@@Producelikeapro Perfect!!
That opening quip just blew my mind. How innocent my former teenage self was.
Haha no comment!
I've always thought that the number 69 was not random... hahahahahahahah
No comment!
0:10 bro 💀💀💀💀
No comment!
Woman in chains woman in chainssss, cause I feeeeelll..
Masterpiece!
Always fantastic hearing from Bob. Such a wealth of information
Thanks ever so much Conor!
Clear mountain, is that real birth name? It just seems too cool to be real haha!
Love his work,
Clear by name, clear by nature.
It is very accurate indeed!
yup, you ruined it. Jscript wasn't even a pipe dream when those 'outliers' made it big. but nice try. we get the point.
