Warren, I rarely comment on YouTube, as I feel I have little to offer to add value to most discussions, but I just wanted to say I totally appreciate what you are doing with your channnel and your sharing of your knowledge and experience. This interview with Bob Clearmountain surpassed all expectation and I personally want to say thanks to you and of course Bob for a wonderful interview. Thank you.

Every day I wake up and someone's gone... Thanks for keeping the love alive.

Mr Clearmountin is an absolute legend. His humbleness is outstanding.

The guest I’ve been looking forward the most of all. I think everyone heard at least one or two Bob’s mixes. He is a true Master of balance, punch and multi-fx.

[nikdrown]

Bobs right on the money about over analyzing things. It loses sight. I remember before I really got into mixing I just turned knobs because I wanted to hear something happen to something and then I got into learning more and more and all the info out there makes you over analyze and not listen and make instinctual moves. There was something to those older mixes I found that had something my new education couldn’t touch. I have since balanced the 2 carrying the good info with the instinct. That makes things so much better. Bob seems to be a master of this. I suppose part of that helps he came up in a time when this profession wasn’t as glamorized. His work speaks for itself

My 80's playlist is going on for at least a week after watching this ...lol

[checkmate]

Truly truly a wonderful man, we really need more videos like this because without whom, star's wouldn't sound as good as they do today 👍🎼🎼🎼👍

[MrPiratebrain]

Best interview ever. I produce house music and would love to get his sound on my records. Could you imagine a house track with that big spacious sound that tears for fears had on sowing the seeds? Wow.

[chipbutty]

Such a gentle, gracious soul for a man with a legendary legacy - cheers Warren

[buddyalbert]

The almost mythical Bob Clearmountain sat and talked to you for almost an hour and a half. Wow! Thank you Warren

[HiHello-kufl]

I was thinking man Bob seems like such a nice guy then his cat came around and started hanging with him and climbing on him and that just proves how great of a guy he must be. I like people who love cats. And dogs!

[Simeonital]

The bit about mistakes being left in records really resonated with me as I grew up listening to 60's and 70's reggae music which did just that. Listening to a lot of revival reggae today wouldn't be the same without those mistakes. Absolutely awesome interview

[RollieFingers]

Thanks so much to Bob for doing this and of course Warren for a great interview. Such a talent and incredible influence on so many musicians, techies and engineers.

I am 61 now and I am so addicted to mastering. I work in a trial law firm but I have a passion for mixing. I clearly was also a disco kid and I really enjoyed this interview. Bob is so humble and modest. I would die is I could go some day to visit a real studio and see what it's like. Love your interviews.

[WalterSobchak]

This man's name on a record sleeve credits was a guarantee of high quality

[jamesgoddin]

Such a joy to hear you two chatting.
For me, 'Reckless' was and is one of the most perfectly mixed records I have ever heard. You hear everything you're supposed to hear in exactly the right place in the stereo mix, at the right level and at the right depth. A mixing masterclass for sure.

[buddhae]

That was brilliant!! Very humble man. I first discovered Bob Clearmountain on the Crowded House albums. Very big lush warm mixes. Had no idea he did Tattoo You. Great job considering all of the tracks he would’ve had to sift through! Brilliant interview Warren.
