Ever wondered how @foofighters built that massive My Hero guitar tone? It is a blend of a Fender Tone Master Twin Reverb and a Mesa Boogie mic'd with an SM57 and U87 #FooFighters #MyHero #GuitarTone #RecordingTips

“Message In A Bottle” was tracked mostly live at Surrey Sound. Sting’s DI plus amp bass and U67 vocal, Andy Summers’ layered shimmering guitars and Stewart Copeland’s stacked drums shaped its sound. The riff began on tour then evolved into a classic. #ThePolice #MessageInABottle

How did Soundgarden get that massive low end on Spoonman? Michael Beinhorn blended an Ampeg SVT with a DBX 120X-DS subharmonic synth and even a drum sub to add depth you feel more than hear. Subtle moves, huge results #Soundgarden #Spoonman #MichaelBeinhorn #Grunge #Superunknown

The 1176 has been shaping the sound of records for over half a century. From the bright edge of the Blue Stripe to the smooth control of the blackface models, it’s the most cloned compressor in history for a reason.

When Marc Martel recorded vocals for our Bohemian Rhapsody recreation, he reached for one mic— the Lauten Audio Eden LT 386. "It's everything I look for in a vocal mic." What makes it so special? 👇👇

When I was a kid, my classical & jazz-loving father handed me Queen’s A Night at the Opera and said: “This is worthy.” That’s how I discovered Bohemian Rhapsody and it changed my life. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTJs...

For me Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody is the greatest song of all time. No chorus. No genre boundaries. Just genius. That’s why I set out to recreate & mix it from the ground up with an all-star band & full vocal stacks. Watch 👉 youtu.be/tTJsNAT-NCw Download 👉 producelikeapro.lpages.co/bohemian-rha...

Last year we lost one of the greats, my dear friend and mentor Dave Jerden. Today would have been his 76th birthday. Dave was a truly unique producer.

Ozzy Osbourne was more than just a larger than life figure, that barely scratches the surface. For many, Black Sabbath marked the true birth of heavy metal. Sure, you can debate who came before or after, but Sabbath had staying power.

Ozzy Osbourne’s passing is a huge loss. He wasn’t just the frontman of Black Sabbath. He helped invent the very music that shaped so many of our lives. A true pioneer. His voice, his presence, his fearlessness, there was nothing like him, and there never will be again #RIPOzzy #RIPOzzyOsbourne

Look After You by @TheFray just crossed 500 million streams. It was never even a single. Just a fan favourite that kept connecting. That number is a powerful reminder: real emotion in music lasts.

One of the most iconic producers, songwriters, and musicians ever @DaveStewart of Eurythmics. From Sweet Dreams to Dylan, Petty, and Aretha, his story is wild and still unfolding. Listen to Dave does Dylan: spoti.fi/3zg7Iej Watch the interview: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAgo...

Before YouTube, you couldn’t just look up how your favourite drummer got that sound. You had to figure it out. That’s what a teenage @ashsoan.bsky.social did when he heard Stewart Copeland on Reggatta de Blanc. #Drums #AshSoan #StewartCopeland #RegattaDeBlanc #MusicHistory
