100% putting this one on while I clean today.

Bauhaus was everything when I was youngster with a guitar.

Also, I've updated my old list based on who is still regularly producing good content in 2026... that list is getting smaller and smaller... is music YouTube burning out, or am I just burning out on music YouTube?

yeah, bauhaus was really formative for me because of how experimental it was while still being loosely rock (despite what they thought)... I come from this really songwritery place by upbringing and I think Bauhaus was really liberating to dig into as I explored guitar behind my dad's back

this agartha guy can be pretty good based on the guest.... this one is okay, but the guest echoes my sentiments with car testing, headphones and even cosntantly flipping between monitors while mixing, but especially the old 'take it in the car' trick, it hasn't worked right for decades, I think he explained why to my satisfaction, check it out:

Thanks for the precise cue-up in the link, Jim, I'm glad I clicked.

I thought it was just my car that had a bullshxt DSP-laden factory sound system that sounds crap at every setting and sounds dramatically different depending on how I connect to it. My ears eventually got used to it, but I'd never trust it as a reference they way I would have trusted my older cars.

"the mix sounds weird in my car"

"how does your favorite record sound in your car?"

"weird"

"then don't listen to music in your car, my mix is fine, pay the invoice"

oh man, I was procrastinating today after I had my water heater replaced because after 4 hours of that BS you're like "can I work today? no, I want to think about what I do and drink beer, not do it, not after hearing all that clanging and dragging all that crap with the installers." So here's a VHS of the legend I found this afternoon, the god behind off the wall and thriller Bruce Swedien:

and for the record, the red neumann logo means its a transformerless FET microphone, whereas purple is FET but transformer balanced

and this is how good produce like a pro has gotten where bob is on there explaining why we all like a G+ with vca automation despite the slight degradation from the vcas, no other vca automation is worth it... I enver had moving faders but I could get my automations down and then set the faders back to 0 without changing levels and switch to trim mode so my small adjustments were relative to the stored VCA data and I LOVED that, being able to automate and then weak overall level relative to the automation levels in the sweet spot of the fader... not a DAW function, you have to fudge that with a gain pugin at the tail end or a channelstrip with a fader like the BX stuff and use the DAW fader as trim or automate the daw faders ITB and zero your console faders for trimming:

Yeah, I'd have to agree. I didn't think there was more to know about the MiniMoog. I was wrong. Beatifully recorded too, by YT standards at least.
