Legendary Engineer/Producer Andy Johns drops some knowledge…

1 Comment

This is a must watch video. Any time a legendary Engineer/Producer sits down and gives you mixing/recording tips, you listen!

“Before his nineteenth birthday, Andy Johns was working as Eddie Kramer‘s second engineer on classic recordings by Jimi Hendrix and many others. In a career spanning more than thirty years, he has engineered or produced records by artists ranging from Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones to Van Halen and Rod Stewart, whose sales total in excess of 160 millions copies.”

I’ve watched this a million times. There are a whole bunch of good tips in there for you to improve your drum sounds. He even tells you how be got the drum sound for the Led Zeppelin drum break classic “When The Levee Breaks”.

This video was included with the Platinum Samples Andy Johns Classic Drums expansion for the BFD software sampler, which I highly recommend.
