name as many as you want, and give a few album credits that you think sound great.
Scott Solter = John Vanderslice, Cellar Door.
he should change is name to tchad blake jr.

And speaking of Mackies and adats, Ken Andrews did a pretty kick ass job on Failure's "Fantastic Planet".
Annnd... this isn't indie but shit, I love the way Tom Petty records sound. I only say that cause he's bumpin on my playlist right now.

Bryce Goggins' records sound real unique-spacehog,pavement.
John Agnello is awesome-the dinosaur jr records he did were great.
I think most indie-rock engineers sound kind of weak.Maybe it's more budget than talent though.
Wilco's sound used to be real thick-like a.m.'s and being there's guitars and drums sounded awesome.But the crap sound on yankee hotel makes me want to puke.The sound of the guitars on yhft sound like they should be from some bad singer-songwriter in the '70's.Like cat stevens or jim croce I think?

Really? I'm a rather large fan of the sound on YHF. I think that both Chris Brickley and Jim O'Rourke did a fine job on the record.

My favorites have to be old Mark Trombino records (Drive Like Jehu, Jimmy Eat World, Thingy, Mock Orange). I think the stuff he puts out now is a bit to Pro Tools'y. Which isn't bad, but not the Trombino for my palette.
John Agnello who did the old Jawbox records is definitely one of my favorites.
J. Robbins is doing big sounding records lately, which I like.
Hmm. There are tons more, but some might not be considered indie producers.
Great thread.

I think Ed Rose sucks, personally. He has the best stuff at his fingertips and he still can't make The Get Up Kids records sound 'alive'. I'm not talking major label alive, i am talking personable, in your face, you know all that shit. I have listened to most of his stuff including the Casket Lottery and Long Since Forgotten tracks. Still wasn't all that impressed. |
i don't think he totally sucks. Ed knows what he's doing, you might not like the end result, but he knows what's up.
i think his records end up very thin, no low end. i've described his work as:
"the only man i know that can make any speaker and any system, anywhere on the planet, sound like NS-10s."
he monitors way too loud and has probably blown out his hearing permanently.
but one thing he is very good at is guitar tones and getting a big thick wall of guitars.
about the get up kids......i wouldn't blame Ed for that. every record they have put out has been a sonic shit sandwich.
i'm not a fan of their music at all, so i don't own any of the records and i can't comment on that. i've heard most of everything they have put out.......i'm seriously surprised they have risen to the "fame" they have selling such garbage product. (speaking of sonics only)
even scott lit couldn't put out anything good. seriously, the track record is there, it has to be the band and not the mix engineer.

trombino rules......i think he has become sucked into the LA world of flawless perfection no matter the cost. but really, even the last few jimmy eat world records (edited and autotuned to death) still have that trombino sound......and i like it.

It is definitely loud in the control room at Red House... err Black Lodge.
After the NS-10 comment I see what you mean. I had noticed the low end but everything always sounded "together" to me. Especially the guitars which as a bass player/guitarist I notice a lot. However now that I'm putting effort in to drums I'm paying more attention to that area.
The last Jimmy Eat World is on the verge of being overproduced. I can't beleive I didn't think of that album. I haven't listened to it in a while though.

You should hear some of Mark's newer stuff. For instance, Finch (a bunch of 18 year olds). The record is completely sound replaced and Auto-Tuned to the bone. This isn't bad though. He does it with such style and grace. I give him all the props in the world for making good records from not so hot talent.
Jimmy Eat World - Clarity has to be one of my favorite records of all time, and I think it has a lot to do with the aesthetic of the mix. So Trombino has got my props for life. Even though Jimmy Eat World kicked his out for their new record. Fucking rock stars. I heard they were getting Gil Norton... should be solid.
I agree that Ed Roses' mixes sound like NS-10's. Either way, I still think he does a poor job for what's he has available to him. But you guys are KC boys, so I sense a little hometown love.

this town has little to do with me and vice versa, i get most of my work from out of town....in fact, probably 80%.
Ed used to be the biggest flag waving hater of digital.....a total analog junkie
and what seemed to be a blink of the eye, he was on PT editing drums and auto tuning with the best of em.

As far as Gil Norton is concerned, I think that man is a genious. He can make any major label artist sound like the coolest indie rock band in the world. A definite guilty pleasure has to be K's Choice-Coccoon Crash. Do yourself a favor and get reaquainted with that record as a whole.
But then again what do I know...I just like to share my opinions.
Hope this helped.

I've heard a couple of live recordings of new Jimmy Songs, and it sounds like Mr. Norton is going to have some great material to work with.
As far as the Get up Kids? The best recorded stuff they've ever done was at the beginning of their "Eudora" CD. Their cover of the Cure's "Close to me" is simply superb. Otherwise the best 'album' was the one where they took a break from Ed Rose, "On a Wire". The more "rock" songs (particularly the title track) have some of the tightest bass I've ever heard recorded. The producer (name escapes me at the moment) did a bunch of R.E.M. records...

4 minute mile....recorded by bob weston
something to write home about.....recorded by chad blinman and alex brahl
on a wire.....recorded by scott lit.
3 out of 4 full length were never touched by ed rose.
they bought the studio that Ed worked at. i think he bought in with them but i'm not sure about that.
fact of the matter is, from about 1.5 years ago, and forward to the for see-able future, they will be working with Ed on all their side projects and whatever they are up to. it's pure economics.....and obviously, sound quality is not an issue with this band......IMO, working with Ed is a huge improvement in sonics over anything they have done in the past.
although, chad blinman does make good sounding records and obviously scott lit does too.....which once again leads me to believe that the band, or matt pryor specifically, is the leading force in their overall terrible sound on records.

I like the work Trombino has done, especially Clarity.
One guy who isn't super well known, but who I think makes great records, is Matt Goldman here in Atlanta, mostly recently an excellent pop nugget for the band Copeland.
I've used another album of his, by Florida band Dennison Marrs, as my live "indie rock" tuning CD (I do mostly live mixing) for years.
I'm sure there are many "local heros" out there.

This is my first post and I just had to chime in on this discussion.
Mark Nevers (Will Oldham's "Master & Everyone, More Revery" & Andrew Bird's "Weather Systems")is making very beautiful records right now.
Couldn't believe he hadn't been mentioned yet so I had to throw him in the mix.

his work with modest mouse i do enjoy. and i like how he presents the band as a little weirder then they are.....which for them, is pretty weird....hahaha
the mixes just have no lowend
same with ed rose.....no lowend
with ed, the mixes are balanced really well until you get to the vocal.....it's mixed so far back you might as well have not cut a vocal track.
i've often thought of ed's work as "close but no cigar" to earlier andy wallace mixes
the guitars are loud, in your face and the drums are right there.....great rock balance, but wheres the bass.........
and andy gets the vocal up nice a hot, and has AWESOME reverbs and delays......ed's reverbs sound like bad factory presets

Hi all,
just got back after months and months of doin'nothing in the audio field. I thought this one was the best thread to catch back. In my opinion YHF is one of the best sounding album in my small collection. Just got "A ghost is born". Rather dark sounding album. Anyone?

I was assisting him on a session here for this pop-punk "band" a couple of years ago. He was doing these ridiculous punch-ins - syllables of words, singles notes for instruments, etc. Also, used a click track for each song. Very over-analyzed, which is what I think sucked the life out of the project. Perhaps this is what he does as a matter of course, which would explain the lack of personality on other stuff he's done. He monitors very loud, I had to stand far away from those poor ns-10s.
I'm not a fan, but he did get some nice sounds.

"Oxygen" was on the album prior to when Matt Goldman started doing their records. Matt's first record with them was "World Reknown for Romance" which was the disc I use as a reference.
They had Matt track a second disk (Then is the new now), and then the label had some guy tote his Genelecs into Matt's room and try to mix it. A mistake, as the record has too much low/low mid energy on it. Gotta know the space you are mixing in.
Matt's work on Copeland's "Beneath Medicine Tree" is really excellent, too, especially when you see how bad the band is live.
Post by: Conner on September 30, 2004, 09:19:58 AM
As far as Dennison Marrs goes, I haven't liked them too much. I have had some very unpleasant meetings with those kids before. They seem to have the attitude: "If you are in no place to help me out, then I have no time for you." The funny thing was they didn't know I was a producer.
Besides, their best work in my opinion was when they were called Divine Child. Albums sounded terrible but sonically it was powerful. If you know Divine Child at all then listen to Dear Ephesus, this is the band they studied under for about 3 years. That was a band before their time.

If you guys are into Copeland then please check out Matthew. You'll see where the singer got 90% of his influence from(Brian McSweeney). Matthew's new shit sounds a bit like Muse. It sucks to say that because Brian always gets compared to people like Buckley too much. When you have a vocal range and sweet ass vibrato like he does its hard not to. |
I'm not into Copeland, seeing them live several times further confirms they suck. Matt really polished a turd there, sound wise.
I am very familiar with Mr. McSweeney, all the way back to his "Seven Day Jesus." Matthew's "Everybody Down" on Rykodisc is a tepid record, at best, in my book, especially if you are going to compare it to Muse! Brian's vocals can't save it.
If you like McSweeney/Bellamy, you should give a listen to Atlanta's Red Letter Agent. I'd call it brit influenced power pop. James, the lead singer, is very much in that same excellent vocal vein, and perhaps the most on pitch singer live I've ever seen.

Brett and Lou are friends of friend, and I would agree with you about them being before their time. Consolation of Pianissimo is a powerful record, if not the best recording.

Phil Ek with BTS, yeah that's great. Albini is a legend and deserves it, yes.
i've seen Scott Solter work and he's really fast and consistently good.
besides that i think what i like the best in indie rock is the lo-fi stuff that bands do themselves on 8-track half-inch.
have you heard that Gris Gris album? recorded themselves on 8-track, and it's totally beautiful with spring reverb all over the place. that's the kind of cloudy, murky, atmospheric (but not muddy) recording i really like.

I also opt for Steve Albini. His work with Nina Nastasia is an example of truly stunning engineering, as are many of his other 1000 or so recordings. |
The Nina Nastasia stuff should be put into the best sounding albums ever made thread. I can listen to Dogs or The Blackened Air right after listening to a Paul Simon record and it still sounds fantastic.

I gotta mention Brian Mcternan, he's done everything from super spacey, effect heavy albums (Cave In's "Jupiter") to straight, very dry punk metal (Thrice's "The Illusion of Safety"). He might be a little out of place on this list because he does bands that are more in the hardcore/ punk scene, but each of the albums he works on are very varied and I think he does a great job producing, tracking, and mixing the albums he works on. |
Dito... Brian McTernan is often overlooked and he definately is a guy who I look up to as a producer and engineer. 'Illusion of Safety' is awesome!!! It's not even the kind of music that I normally am into but the way that record is presented is really refreshing.
There is a band from around here called This Day & Age that's gaining some momentum on the national level and they worked with Ed Rose. My band played a bunch of shows with TD&A right before they cut their record at Blacklodge. Good live band - lots of energy and big rock sound. I got the record Ed did and was like 'who sucked out all the rock?' - the record was very safe and almost produced like a pop record. I guess after hearing the band rock out all those times, I wasn't expecting to hear such a drastic change. I feel the same way about the Long Since Forgotten records. Ed's definately got game, don't get me wrong. I like a lot of his records (i.e. Brandston, The New Amsterdams, The Anniversary). I just think that sometimes he can be a bit 'one dimensional' in the sense that when you work with him, you get pushed through his 'sound' and his 'thing'.
I also think a lot of it has to do with seeing the bands play live. I don't know if a lot of producers actually go out and sees a lot of the bands they work with play live before they cut their records. I know I do. I know a lot of bands that have worked with 'producers' like Ed that have told me the producer has never seen them play live. This doesn't make any sense to me. How can a producer present an artist correctly without ever seeing the band perform?
Oh, and I also agree... Trombino rules!

John McEntire. |
I like what he did with the new Teenage Fanclub album a lot. I also like Craig Pilkington's work with the Lucksmiths.

I keep coming back to this record for how good the wrong sounds can sound together.

David Bazan - Pedro the Lion - Control I keep coming back to this record for how good the wrong sounds can sound together. |
Actually, I believe Aaron Sprinkle produced 'Control'. It's one of Aaron's few records that actually have 'vibe' IMO.
David is an amazing writer and all of his records have 'his sound' to them that really draws people into it. I think production-wise, with him you just kinda let him do his thing and make sure you have all your mics and settings in place to capture his 'moments'. I'd love to have the opportunity to record his genious someday.
He's a storyteller and I love his work.

speaking of Pedro's Control.....that record should have been called, "Compressed"

Really? I'm a rather large fan of the sound on YHF. I think that both Chris Brickley and Jim O'Rourke did a fine job on the record. |
Agreed on the second account. YHF has to be one of my favorite records ever. I love the sounds. Very natural...very real. Lately I am enjoying A Ghost Is Born quite a lot also. Does anybody have any insight on mic set-ups for this record. Especially drums? Was the overhead mono?
Thanks!

Fridman... Mogwai
A vote for Matt Goldman....
A side note, I just saw copeland last month and thought the vox were solid (minus 12 tracks or harmonies, but come on, they are not the polyphonic spree..... at least not live
