Brendan O'Brian - interviewed by Rick Beato

This 3 hour Rick Beato interview of engineer, producer, mixer, musician - Brendan O'Brian is amazing!

He rarely (never?) does interviews.

A total MUST WATCH for anyone wanting an insight into the amazing sounds of Brendan O'Brian's productions. I feel this is perfect for anyone that is interested in recording "live bands".

Take aways for me:
  1. The importance of preparation.
  2. Speedy set up also important.
  3. Being flexible, not everything needs to be done with a click track / played to a grid.

There is so much in this I suggest watching this in 3 sittings - it's THREE HOURS LONG.

Hats off to Rick Beato for his great interviwing skills!
