Huge thanks to @soundonsoundmag and Joe Matera for featuring me in their How I Got That Sound series, talking about the guitar sound on The Fray’s “Never Say Never.”
We recorded it at the legendary Record Plant in Sausalito, with @TheFray becoming the last band ever to record there before it closed in 2008.
The goal was for the guitar to stand alongside Isaac Slade’s vocal, not hide behind it. A true duet between voice and instrument.
’65 Fender Deluxe, Vox AC30, Telecaster Deluxe, real room ambience, and a lot of emotion.
Have a marvellous time recording and mixing.

Perfectionism has stopped more music being made than lack of talent ever has.

I’ve seen incredibly gifted artists sit on songs for months, sometimes years, because the vocal wasn’t “perfect”, the guitar sound wasn’t “there yet”, the lyric needed “one more pass”, or the mix wasn’t quite finished.

At some point, perfection stops being a standard and starts becoming fear wearing a very convincing disguise.

R.I.P. Sonny Rollins.
I first heard Sonny as a little kid in my Dad’s record collection. A Night at the Village Vanguard was fearless, alive and completely inspiring.
Years later, hearing him on The Rolling Stones’ “Waiting On A Friend” blew me away. My Dad was so impressed that the Stones used someone of Sonny’s calibre.
That solo is pure beauty.
A true giant. Thank you, Sonny.

David Dalton’s Driftwork Sound Studio is a brilliant reminder that great records do not require a massive commercial room. https://t.co/dKbMekME56

What a lovely night at the MPG Awards. Kasia and I were there as guests of FSK Audio, surrounded by great friends and brilliant talent. Huge congratulations to Andrew Scheps on Best Immersive Album, and to so many other friends including Ricky Damian.
Funny one, Spike and I actually went to the same school, something we only discovered years later when he mixed Vedera, a band I wrote and produced.
Wonderful evening celebrating the people behind the music.

I write this through tears.
Jack Douglas was my greatest mentor, one of my closest friends, and family to all of us.
For three months Jack and I lived in Scituate making an Aerosmith album together. Every morning we’d make the 25 minute drive to the studio while he told stories about John Lennon, Patti Smith, the New York scene, and the incredible life he lived.
Those drives were one of the greatest educations of my life.
Jack taught me what being a real producer truly meant. No ego. No pretence. Just making artists feel safe enough to give the performance of their lives.
The records he made will live forever.
However it was his kindness, humour, warmth, and humanity that made him truly special.
We love you always, Uncle Jack.
Warren, Kasia, Charlie & Lucy

One of my very first Produce Like A Pro videos was an interview with my dear friend and mentor Jack Douglas, filmed while we were making a record together with the French rock band Black Rain.
Within seconds he was already teasing me about the name “Produce Like A Pro.”
“Do you know any pros?” he laughed. “That’s the worst thing I’ve ever been accused of.”
That was Jack.
Brilliant, hilarious, humble, and completely devoted to performances, not perfection.
He taught me that the most important job of a producer is making artists feel comfortable enough to create.
I’ll miss him enormously.
Thank you for everything, Uncle Jack. ❤️ https://t.co/6I8jvJ3yfV

Fond memories of working on this with Jack @Aerosmith Legendary Child https://t.co/caUC2ESGqp

[Produce Like A Pro @ProduceLikeAPro]

Working with my dear friend and mentor Jack Douglas on @Aerosmith's and the song “Legendary Child” was one of those full circle moments I’ll never forget. We recorded at Pandora’s Box in Boston, then continued working back at my old studios, Swinghouse and Spitfire in Laurel Canyon. Every day with Jack was a masterclass in what a real producer does, creating an atmosphere where artists felt completely at ease and could give their absolute best performances. Sitting beside the man who helped shape records by Aerosmith, John Lennon, Cheap Trick and so many others, while making music together as friends, was something truly special. One thing many people may not realise is that at 3:00 in “Legendary Child,” when Steven sings, “they said we didn’t know Jack, but at The Plant we proved them wrong,” it wasn’t some cryptic lyric. Steven added that line specifically for Jack while we were tracking the song, a beautiful moment of recognition for the man who had been such a huge part of Aerosmith’s history and spirit.

Happy 80th Birthday @frippofficial!
King Crimson changed my life.
Robert’s playing, musicality and writing fit perfectly with my brain. When I hear Frame by Frame, I actually find it calming. Those interlocking parts create order for me.
Three of a Perfect Pair is one of my favourite albums ever.
King Crimson speak to me in a way very few bands do. Melody, tension, intelligence, risk, beauty and discipline all at once.
Thank you Robert for a lifetime of fearless music. P.S Happy 40th Wedding Anniversary to you and @toyahofficial
