NOTE: the original recording was a bit over an hour. I edited it down to improve conversion flow, given a bit of connection latency, and i also removed a few bits of the conversation that were less juicy, due to my lack of interviewing skills and not because of bob. Originally I had planned to just release a single video of 20 minutes but bob said too much great stuff, it was impossible to edit out so much

This guy simultaneously has “wholesome grandpa” vibes and “hardened war veteran” vibes. Makes him sound twice as wise.

What Bob said: "You're in trouble if you try to use a formula!". If there was any statement that describes the endless difficulty of this profession, he said it in a nutshell. Sometimes more is doing less. Bob is a national treasure, who has made artists sound good, (and let them sound good) and has made this world a happier place

Bob is one of my favorite mastering engineers to work with. I've learned so much from his posts in the old forums and the interviews like this one. Thanks for putting this together!
