I really don't have a favourite producer so I'll say it's whoever produced Gouge Away's album from last year

 

Would kill to hear a Bill Stevenson Menzos record

 

This was a joke people

 

The other day I was just thinking my favorite producer has to be Jerry Finn and how much I would watch a documentary about his work.

 

America is a great song, can't stop listening

 

They announced a Chicago date; 10/26 @ Concord

 

Six weeks.

 

Production issues have irritated me less and less lately, especially in the car. Going to be a great driving album.

 

I agree, Menzingers seem to always sound the best while driving.

 

I get what y’all are saying about the vocals but I kinda like it

 

I want this band to walk into the studio where Handwritten was recorded, use all the same gear and settings, and have the same team mix and master it

 

question for the recording scholars - if a producer's main role is to help get the artist's vision to tape, is it possible for the the mix/mastering dude (usually done by someone else right?) to undo all that work?

 

Yes.

Read up on The Replacements' album Don't Tell a Soul. Mixer went in and absolutely drenched every track in 80s reverb.

 

Yes. This.

 

Listened to them all the way through a drive from Minneapolis to Milwaukee lol

 

so why does the producer get so much credit? are mixers like unsung heroes? Or typically do they do very little? Just minor adjustments?

 

Producers generally have a lot more creative say. A lot of times bands will even write in the studio, so the producer is usually present for that process.

Mixers are at the very end of the process usually after the entire album has been recorded. Very rarely are things added during this part.

 

Put it this way, it's unlikely a good mixer will save a bad record, but a bad mixer can easily fuck up a good one.

 

I love the fact that Will Yip gets Vince Ratti to mix a lot of his stuff now, Vince was the guitarist and mastermind behind Zolof The Rock & Roll Destroyer and did tons of recordings for Philly artists back in the day. (He recorded Anthony Greens early High & Driving stuff I believe and also like his auditions for Saosin which he sent out to Cali which would later become Translating The Name material.. He also mixed Brand New's last album but I know mentioning BN is like summoning a demon in these parts.)

 

Oh here's the thread

 

This band perfectly soundtracks summer drives for me and look here they come again to drop an album right as the Aussie summer approaches thanks fellas

 

Missed this yesterday. Seven weeks.
