When it comes to studio innovation in the past 50 years, it truly doesn't get much bigger than Bob Clearmountain and Chris Lord-Alge. These two music veterans have had their hands on nearly every genre of music since the mid-70s and will be taking part in a Q&A, sponsored by Vintage King, on June 10th.
The two modern masters will be discussing the legacy of their work in an event called "Bob Clearmountain and Chris Lord-Alge Deconstructed," which will be held at Apogee Studios in Santa Monica, California. Talking about their recording processes, both past and present, Clearmountain and Lord-Alge will offer their thoughts on mixing, technology and the state of the music industry. In addition to a conversation led by Mix Magazine editor Tom Kenny, the two will be fielding questions from the audience.

Get Close, Clearmountain has spent the better part of five decades in the studio. In more recent years, he has continued to work with older artists like Bryan Ferry and the Rolling Stones, while also adapting to newer music with the likes of Sheryl Crow and Lucinda Williams.
The legacy of Chris Lord-Alge starts with his work at Unique Recording Studios in New York. Powering projects with his patented use of compression, Lord-Alge had early hits with James Brown's "Living in America," Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark" and Madonna's "La Isla Bonita." In the 2000s, the producer moved towards the punk sound of bands like AFI, Avenged Sevenfold and Sum 41, while also creating his own
signature line of audio plug-ins with
Waves Audio.
