22-time GRAMMY winning Engineer and Producer Al Schmitt joins Dave and Herb on the 117th episode of Pensado's Place!
"Stump The VK Guy" Question:
"When people say "tape compression" or "saturation" what exactly is the process that produces these effects, and why should I care?"
Jacob Schneider's Answer:
"Tape compression and saturation are both effects of using a tape machine. These processes can very depending on the tape machines electronics, the tape that is used, the calibration of the machine as well as as how the source is driven into the machine.
I guess technically there is no tape compression you are driving the tape and electronics so they are saturating and distorting raising the noise floor.
Kind of a crazy question not sure if there is any easy way to explain that. Why should you care? Well it is an effect like it or not."

really sad news this morning, one of the greatest episode for me. A lot of techniques will stay with us.

@richardharmon9596 Год назад

The one man I dreamed of being able to meet was Al Schmitt . Unfortunately never got the chance but what an incredible opportunity for those that were fortunate enough to have a sit down with one of the Greatest Engineers that has ever lived . Enjoyed this sooo much

@mrduetdude6715 9 лет назад

32:40 " The reverb does what it does. If it were a woman, I wouldn't notice the make-up. I would just know that she was beautiful." Holy shit that's some good stuff. So true!

Thats what i needed to hear:)

@AlexGuillermoHurtadoVillalaz 11 лет назад

Every episode is unique, but this episode...one of a kind. Bravo Dave, Herb and all Pensado's Place team (applause) :)

@vanrozay8871 11 лет назад

i always enjoy your shows, but al schmitt helped me, an old-timer who first tracked on a tascam 3340, to feel good about my preference for tube mics, often in omni, and my avoidance of eq. now i have big-league affirmation. thanks dave and herb, and al.

@AlexNiedt 11 лет назад

Definitely one of my favorite episodes. Thoroughly enjoyable and pure. Hope Al returns to the show ASAP.

@RANGDAP 11 лет назад

Thank you Pensado's place for making my life a bit more joyful!

@TheKokros 10 лет назад

Wow..the best interview ever on this show.. Great guy, great engineer..thanks Dave and Herb for inviting him over for this session..can't thank you enough..

@rogerben336 11 лет назад

Word????????? There are bits of gold in each video that reveal some pretty sweet techniques on the art of mixing, you just have to pay close attention. Also, these long videos give people a chance to somewhat get inside the heads of some real prominent producers and mixing engineers in the business. Did I forget to mention that Dave usually delivers a pretty useful tip in every episode of ITL. Overall, I think most people comment with such high raise because these videos genuinely inspire them.

ive been watching pensados place since 2009 and still appreciate this channel

@williamtell1477 2 года назад

Heavy hitters in this one! What a great show, thanks to the Pensado's place team for everything you guys do.

@belizaire28 11 лет назад

Thank you so much for the diversity that you bring. Thank you for the exposure of the different genre types. They not only enrich my skill set but enrich ME as a human being. I can more appreciate, at the very least, creativity in it's abundance of flavors especially when it differs from mine. Even the more, I am also saved from the pathetic & petty mindset that says my taste is sovereign & is the only one that matters. Thank you DAVE PENSADO & everyone else that helps make this show possible...

@JoyfulNotes1 11 лет назад

That was truly a "Master Class", loved every minute of it, lots of golden nuggets. thansk for all your efforts, Dave and Team!

@laurynasgaidys2110 10 лет назад

He's absolutely right! Great music + great musicians + golden ears + great room + great mics = Great recording.

@MrMemyselfandi415 4 года назад

Al is quick as a whip for being in his mid 80's here. I think he's like 90 now....in 2020. Such a cool guy...and if you haven't heard his mixes you don't know what you're missing. Jeez...so clean and clear and just...epic sounding. A legit legend.

@jacobmiller8555 11 лет назад

Dave, you are the inspiration I've been looking for without subconsciously knowing what i'm looking for.

@javoutube1 11 лет назад

one of the things I'll never forget is when dave said in an ATL episode something like " low end is important, because it reminds us that we're not listening to a jazz or a folk tune..." very remarkable

@mademepickaname 3 года назад

What a dynamite guy Al was. May his memory be a blessing.

@iamclarity 11 лет назад

For anyone who watched the ITL, please note that he transformed MONO guitar sources into stereo tracks. So, in essence, this is also a great tutorial on how to turn mono sources into mono-compatible stereo sources.

@doonasty 11 лет назад

Another great episode! I appreciate the comments to the "HOME GUY" and the guy "...who opens faders and prays!!" That's me...guilty! You all have given me a wealth of information and inspiration to continue to learn the CRAFT! Pensado's Place has been a blessing for me and many others out here in the bushes! Thank you for being here! Peace OT

@djlokdwn53 11 лет назад

Herb just does a great job! Love that dude. I wish he can talk a bit about artist management and how he manages Dave as it's a important element in our industry!

@lastdaysguitar 11 лет назад

AWESOME - IMHO this interview could have gone on for hours 'n hours. THANK YOU!!!

@VinnySvobodaMusic 11 лет назад

Al's story at the end....omg do you guys realize how awesome that is? I don't like how a lot of people here seem to only focus on the ITL segment. Yes it's a GREAT segment don't get me wrong, but the meat and potatoes are in the interview. You learn so much! Been a fan from the beginning Dave and Herb. This is a great episode as always. If you guys could work some magic to get Frank Filipetti on here, that would be a great show! -Vinny

@nikosarkomanis 11 лет назад

@jimistoenail 11 лет назад

Dear Dave and Herb I wonder if you have thought, asked or are planning on having Jacquire king on the show I just love how he mixed the kings of leon albums. Its that kind of great creamy rock sound but still has a lot of balls you know. Great show and the standard just isn't slipping love you guys.

@fledsup 11 лет назад

One of the best shows to date for sure. Al is amazing.

@taxijohari 11 лет назад

I could listen to Al all day. Wow. He may have worked with my uncle back in the day too! Swoon...

@BrianCraigKeith31mm 11 лет назад

Awesome! just speechless . Thanks Dave , Herb, Will.

@javoutube1 11 лет назад

I loved this episode so much, It was very touching, I didn't know this engineer, I'll look some up his records, I already like Henry Mancini and from what I see in his discography he has an impressive career, he worked with the Ventures.. thank you guys, this was one of your best episodes ever

@doonasty 11 лет назад

Thank you for giving back! I will try to put it to good use! Peace OT!

@jlx_music4365 4 года назад

Coincidence that Al Schmitt and Bob Clearmountain had Duke Ellington in their first alone operational "Live-Recording"? :)

@rickdeaguiar-musicreflecti7692 Год назад

Wow. What a fantastic interview. :)

@javiertrevino5535 11 лет назад

especially the part where he says he doesn't use EQ, it's unbelievable, it makes me reconsider my approach for producing and mixing my own songs.

@TallerdelSebaRehbein 11 лет назад

excelente!! un verdadero maestro, que impresionante como explica las cosas a partir de la experiencia, humildad y pasion por la musica. desde chile, muchas gracias

@lenstar87 11 лет назад

Another great episode. Thank you.

@javoutube1 11 лет назад

Great Show ! you guys have helped me so much n the way I deal with things like EQ and compression, you have influenced me so much, thank you. (I'm an amateur producer)

@iammadeofsound 11 лет назад

We all have our own path.. We will get through this :) Great inspiration. Thank you Al!

@loudmindpro8864 6 лет назад

Wow Al is SUCH a legend! I really wish I knew him before I went to AES yesterday!!! Thanks for such great content guys :)

@utubehound69 11 лет назад

Go get the Tom Dowed documentary if you don't have it a MUST!

@slipnpitch1894 8 лет назад

This the Al scmitt who had dinner with Sam Cooke the night he was murdered?? Would love to hear his recollection of the evening about Sam. Greatest and most charismatic vocalist of all time IMO.

@MihaiSorohan 11 лет назад

"keep the mud in the middle" :-D nice one

@TheSIMBAJUDAH 11 лет назад

What i would like to hear is Mr.Schmiit take on electronic music and working on a electronic song since he does not use EQ.

@DJDMass 11 лет назад

amazing show! thank you!

@barcellos61 11 лет назад

Gosh!! Are you talking to me Herb? I'm watching the show over here in Rio de Janeiro, but my feet aren't even near the couch, man!

@Phoeonde 11 лет назад

Great show, thanks alot

@scottfaircloff9530 3 года назад

so good! thnx!

@plum_line 9 лет назад

This is just incredible. I've watched this like 5 times now. Sure you can make all the comments on EQ you want.... arguments for both sides are reasonable, but just listen to this guy talk about REVERB. Thanks!

@discoAL 11 лет назад

why do ppl comment with such high reverence? its not like anything was said, that was the key to unlocking what you will encounter in the studio. i respect and admire what engineers do, but if you have not been mentored by these guys, how have they touched and enriched your lives?? these guys were raised in recording studios. there were no Ah ha!! moments in this episode. is all the praise really necessary?

@soundeng1 11 лет назад

Wow! What a class act! Awesome.

@krakenman18 10 лет назад

Great interview, thanks!!

@Noahtherapper 11 лет назад

Great episode!

Holy shit Herb has lost weight since 2013

@SteemaMusic 11 лет назад

Awesome episode! Loved that story about his first session and being scared to death.also enjoyed that shout out to Citrus College. Woo woo!

@TheMusicWiz 11 лет назад

Classy show! And at some point we'll likely get Bob C. and Elliot S. :-D

@Benthebass87 11 лет назад

Amazing!

@Ansid106 11 лет назад

Best episode!!!! We want Sylvia Massy

@artmadaofficialyoutube 11 лет назад

The TB303 was to replace live bassists or make up for non existent ones. It was never meant to be used the way it was in the 80's/90's, it was made to play itself because you had no one else to play the bass. Plus a 303 is extremely difficult and annoying to program (not adding some distortion, I mean programming an entire original sequence) My last point, the 303 isn't even a keyboard, it has a "keyboard" but by definition is not a keyboard.

@atomicjoeofficial 11 лет назад

Legend!!

@AWStegmeyer 10 лет назад

Get to it please! I'm waiting.... Where is Al... Waiting

@ElfPrincessHarley 11 лет назад

Yes I'm a jazz guitarist and there are virtuosity in hip-hop as with every other genre. If you don't like it that's fine but don't present your opinion as fact.

@triitribe6818 5 лет назад

East West has a sick live chamber

@greendayforever789 8 лет назад

What a guy...

@tnt767 11 лет назад

What Al said about lying to his wife about going to work is so so true.

@jeromelester8 11 лет назад

Al Schmitt's voice reminds me of Howie Weinberg.

@EtcEtcAndEtc 11 лет назад

Always a bit worried about Herb's latent homophobia :( What's that all about?! Great stuff as ever.

@ElfPrincessHarley 11 лет назад

*is virtuosity, that is

@arande3 5 лет назад

Doesn't EQ? Interesting. Explains why all his stuff sounds so dark

@drewstapleton231 8 лет назад

What did he mean by placing different chambers on the LCR (left, center, right) and then maybe even more in-between?

@skeletonrowdie1768 7 лет назад

i think that he makes a bus for each chamber, and sends all left tracks to that bus with a specific chamber reverb. Then he makes more reverb busses for other sides.

@drewstapleton231 7 лет назад

That's really going the extra mile. Do they really have three chambers at Captiol for LCR reverb and even a few more to fit between? Amazing!

@skeletonrowdie1768 7 лет назад

they said in the video, that they have eight underground rooms and they like room number 4 a lot

@shevydetroit 8 лет назад

You can watch Al Schmitt and Dave Pensado in action in the documentary film, The Art of Recording a Big Band DVD vintageking.com/the-art-of-recording-a-big-band-dvd

@cussem 11 лет назад

Watch the show again and listen carefully what he actually says.

@mahdiyarmonfared Год назад

omg 🔥🔥🔥🔥

@ElfPrincessHarley 11 лет назад

How can someone's opinion be truth? Just because you personally don't like hip-hop doesn't mean anything.

@JimFactor 8 лет назад

I'm sorry, what is chamber number 4?

@MrDaveFerrier 7 лет назад

Hy man, its an echo chamber at Capitol where Al works.. basically its a seperate basement room with loudspeakers and microphones, they can send sounds from the console to the speaker and use the room as a real acoustic reverb!

@JimFactor 7 лет назад

Thanks!

@skeletonrowdie1768 7 лет назад

yeah they've got eight of them, and they talked about the 4th one as that was the one they liked a lot.
