- Join us on our journey to Finland where we recorded Rise fully analog and learned the wisdom of Children of Bodom producer Anssi Kippo! 🤘
Rise is available on CD and digital download at www.austinzett... and is now streaming everywhere!
Check out Anssi Kippo's in-depth case study here: astiastudio.fi...
Really, really cool documentary! I personally know someone who travelled far and recorded their debut at Anssi's studio as well and watched your film together with them. Now I really see why working with him must be so special - you really manage to capture the working atmosphere and the drive everybody needs to have to produce something truly special.
Having said that, I believe this is one of the most revealing music documentaries I've seen in general, because it involves so much detail as to how production and musicianship works. In my view, you did indeed "capture the moment."
Thanks so much Stephen! It's so awesome to know how much you enjoyed and connected with this... We hope to bring you some more moments soon! 🤘
Anssi must be the nicest guy on earth. He's so relaxed and so polite, all the while being absolutely great at what he's doing.
I just found this video randomly and watched it till end. It was nicely filmed and really interesting!
This is so cool to hear from someone who doesn't know us! Thanks for checking it out!
Down only 9 minutes and already loving it!! ❤️🤘🏻
Kiitos Juho! Great to hear!
So cool y’all made a doc about “Rise”!
Thanks Ethan! Glad you liked it!
So much hard work and dedication. Very educational and super inspiring. ❤️🔥🎸
Thanks so much! It means a lot that it inspired you!
What a nice making of video :) Great music too!
Thanks for the documentary! Cheers from Finland!
This was very enjoyable and interesting to watch. Wish you guys the best. You deserve it and have earned it ! 👍
Thanks so much John!! It means a lot that you enjoyed it!
...”you know, we have these dreams for a reason” 🥰
That's what led us here, hopefully to inspire more!
Just watched the documentary. 5/5. All the best for you guys! \m/
Kiitos paljon Tommi!! \m/
I don't like this idea by the producer that digital information "is lost" during AD conversion. It's more correct to say that using analogue is adding stuff that wasn't there in the first place that sounds more pleasing to the ear. You can't record something to a computer and then to tape and claim that the computer is losing information. There's way more fidelity and information in a digital file than what is on the tape but the tape is adding something that wasn't there in the first place.
I understand the skepticism since essentially all music production is digital these days. My advice would be to keep an open mind and maybe then you can hear it too. Anssi writes about his findings here and would probably give you a demonstration if you asked: astiastudio.fi/vinyl-records-and-how-to-improve-enjoying-music/ Thanks so much for checking out the documentary!
@@ternalRequiem It's not about being skeptical it's about the science and the facts. I outlined clearly the reason why analogue storage and playback systems can sound better - pleasing sounds are being put in, they are not being lost. I read the blog and it's full of pseudo science and claims that are almost religious in proportions. The evolution of analogue systems moved forwards to remove distortion created by the hardware and get to get as clean a signal path as possible. Digital systems provide that clean signal path but then we realised it was the distortion and saturation of analogue that give it that pleasing 3D like sound. I am not disputing Anssi's abilities as a mix engineer or what he hears playing a predominately analogue signal path. That I have no problem with, but I do object to him spreading false information about why when it's clear he doesn't fully understand the theoretical side. He can be right for the wrong reasons. Ironically, many vinyl presses in the 80s had a digital delay unit placed in the chain - the output that was pressed to vinyl while the mastering engineer adjusted the input signal in realtime during cutting. Thus, even those warm "analogue" 80's presses everyone cherishes so much were converted to 16 bit digital during the cutting process.
@@murdryck158 As a musician and not a scientist all I can do is appreciate the passion both of you have for this subject. Thank you for taking the time to check it out and share some ideas that I had not heard before!

I agree. Anssi is a great producer, mixer and a music teacher, but I don’t like him sharing this pseudo science all over the internet. Analog equipment creates pleasing saturation and ”warmness” but nothing from the actual sound ”gets lost” as he puts it. Actually the opposite. Modern digital equipment has lower noise floor and thus allows greater dynamic range and detail. Digital recordings can be more accurate representations of what the microphone hears... which is why many people don’t like it.
Analog signal path has many subtle saturators like transformers, preamps, dolby and tape that compress and distort the signal in a way that sounds pleasing to human ears. Of course this is somewhat subjective. And also early digital equipment were bad with bad conversion and low bit rate.
I would also like to see a proof of what is "lost" during a/d. For example, there are known technical limitations in vinyl response, but the format is found to be "pleasing" by selected audience. On the other hand, the CD format has not been used for classical music in the first place by an subjective reasons, but for linearity and accuracy in reproduction. The whole audio chain (from recording and instrument to the final product) also plays a part that one must be aware of; you can falsely claim that "a snare is not snappy" in CD and "is in vinyl" if for some reason heavy limiting is applied - it's not a problem of the format. Here are some plain facts about vinyl limitations for example: web.archive.org/web/20180917223601/www.emusician.com/how-to/mastering-vinyl
Bad ass!! Texas metal!
Thanks John! 🤘
Oli hyvä dokumentti. Mitä tykkäsitte Lappeenrannasta?
Monta päivää olitte studiossa?
