This month we step into the studio of Berlinbased engineer, producer and author Moses Schneider. Moses got his big break working at the famous Hansa Tonstudio with Pixies and has since worked with bigselling German acts Kreator and Tocotronic. He has also worked with The Strokes’ producer, Gordon Raphael, who calls him “the Einstein of live recording.”
In our video he talks about his approach to production, and demonstrates how he records and processes drums to give them the most character — and specifically about the intriguing ‘wurst’ mic technique.
