Afro Droid Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Money being no object, who'd you produce your record? Me? I'd say Butch Walker (for pure masive wall-o-rock sound. Pop Punk kids check out Marvelous 3 right now), Thomas Skolsberg (pure fucking distortion), and Steve Albino. Obviously.Go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Good question, probably em... devin Townsend (obviously) or Shaun Thingvold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Droid Posted April 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Actually Dev would be in mine too. He's cheap apparently too, if you get yourself to Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain44s Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 id go for Nigel Godrich...although i dont think he would work for a 44s album....for the 44s id go for Rich Costey...it would then sound enormous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripey Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Money no object...I'd produce it myself and give the label a recording which would hopefully only require minor tweaking for the format it's destined for and minimal work for their mastering engineer.

Ross Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 in the early 90s.. ( an era i know all too well ) Sony gathered a list of bands for the soundtrack to Singles (A Film with Matt Damon & Bridget Fonda). Each band was given $20,000 to record one track.All bands went off and recorded some brilliant tracks that are not on any other albums.Mudhoney recorded at their mates place for $750.... It was reputed to be lower at one point and then pocketed the rest. The track was called "Overblown!"Not Birdman ~ But he`ll know this too.

jester1470 Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Hmmm, I think from a comercial point of view, Mutt Lange, Mutt has the most impeccable sound andis a great perfectionist and I'm not sure he's done an album in the last 15 years that has sold under a million. Other people I'd like to work with, Chris Kimsey, Dave Meagan and for the poppier stuff, Trevor Horn. CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betamax Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 and for the poppier stuff' date=' Trevor Horn.

The film, while a little bit cheesy still holds a special place in my heart, just for all the Seattle scene cameos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre Von Mondragon Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 HMMM, A tag team of Jimmy Miller (Stones 68-73). Andre 3000 and King Tubby on the controls if money/mortality was no object. Or DJ Shadow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DustyDeviada Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Not sure I'd want to work with him myself (and I'm not sure how well this will go down on here) but I've always had time for Jeff Lynne as a producer. His work with The Travelling Wilburys, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, George Harrison, The Beatles and of course ELO always sounded pretty good to my ear.

Good money sense pocketing the $19250! Personally I wouldn't mind some Bob Rock action...just for the drum and bass sounds he managed to get on the black album. Also the chap from garbage who did Nevermind. I'm also quite fond of the production on the Eyes Adrift album though I don't know who produced that.

Dan G Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 I would kill anyone to have on the back of one of my CDs:Produced by DEVIN TOWNSENDMixed by ANDY SNEAPThat combination would be the ultimate.Colin Richardson has done some fantastic work over the years too.

Ross Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Butch VigAlso did Siamese Dream... and numerous others.Albini and Townsend only chare about $2,000 apparently.John Mitchell in Reading is well worth using also. You`d want Andy Wallace though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betamax Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 i actually think steve albini is a bit over-rated (based on this selection of adoring posts)its a live sound and its not a difficult sound to get if you are working with a band thats good at playing live in the first place, which he generally doespretty one dimensional really, massive drum compression and gated room noise effects, almost zero bass and shitloads of scratchy guitars panned hard left and right with a fuzzbox on nearly all the vocals....all his albums sound the same which I suppose is the general idea ?not saying its not good production, just that making a record sound albini ish isnt exactly genius most albums he touches do turn out to be good the big black stuff was probably the most out there stuff hes done simply cos of the gigantic drum machines in a pre NIN world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
