Yeah, there’s a lot of scope for subtle delay and existing room reverb (which is often plentiful) I think…

Personally I’m a bit of a reverb fascist and have been perturbed by excessive washes of fakeverb in electronic music. Although I believe it can be done tastefully, I would still like to live in an anechoic chamber, and think that reverb should be seen and not really heard (much)

Very interesting. In a mildly similar vein I think there’s a lot of creative scope for engineering electronic music without the use of any reverb whatsoever.

[...] As we passed the cold slope, I should write the things that I skipped to post. Monolake’s Silence album was basically my deary winter listening. No need to tell how incredible music Robert Henke does, but his whole approach to artistic creation makes him a special one. I’ve managed to find some interviews he chats about Ableton, production process, sound-design, compression, other effects… and all the things you might want to know about his music and live performance. So, here are the interviews: by Peter Kirn, by Derek Walmsley and by Caro Snatch. [...]

Thanks! Mr Henke makes some good points.

Trivia: I’ve only listened to the album over my (mono) PAL-stereo so far (and it sounded great!). Guess I’ll have to give it a listen in the studio speakers tonight to see what all the stereo-fuss is about…

Nice interview, thanks! It’s good to see more people avoiding the over-compression which is now almost commonplace in digital music. If it’s not loud enough, use that big knob marked ‘volume’!

[...] far as engineering in the sense of recording and production, Robert did a terrific interview with engineer/musician Caro Snatch for her blog; she gets some fascinating answers out of him and they even talk about his technique of avoiding [...]
