Paul Thomson Interviewed by Warren Huart

Hahaha - Warren said... without further adieu

PRO TIP: change the playback speed to 1.5 - you can still understand what is being said, and you can finish the video in 75% of the time.

You can even make it out with 1.75 too
Paul sounds even more impressive this way...

I will have to do this speed on one of his walkthrough videos and hear him use his signature phrases :roflmao:

I bumped it up to 2x and honestly I've never used this feature before. I thought it would make everybody sound like a chipmunk but the pitch nearly remained the same. Kind of nice.
 
My default for YT "talking" vids is 1.5x, sometimes 2x if they are real draaaaaawlers.

I'd still much rather read a tutorial than watch one, but speeding things up does increase the data-density.

You know that if you hadn't visited and posted in the forum you could've had improved such productivity % even more, right?


(I just wanted to reply something in past perfect, what a POS verb tense, no one uses it :grin: )
 
I played the video backwards and Paul couldn't have looked less excited and was promoting a Gigasampler edition of Hans Zimmer xxxxx.
At this point the live translation service failed and my Klingon was too rusty to continue, although there was a reference to Ringo being dead.
I wasn't wearing socks at the time of viewing in case that's relevant.

I hope Paul knows that at least some people, like you, take him seriously.

Giving you the full Shakespeare - did not see this coming and have to quote it - hilarious!
 
Thanks for posting: the interview predisposes (re-predisposes?) me to Spitfire more than any of their marketing ever has... even though I happen to enjoy their video promos as a bit of fun, much nicer to hear PT just chatting about his motivations and intentions.

(I was only piqued once, when he adopted a "come on, be reasonable" tone about working-around a chair squeaking in a sample. I'd gladly do just that, but they still haven't adjusted the player's RR controls to make that possible.)

Yes, I agree on both counts. I do like a lot of Spitfire libraries; but I've particularly lost the taste for 'just press the keys down and hear it play' style libraries. I just don't really have a use for them.

I've had some issues with background noises on the Bernard Herrmann Composer Toolkit. Admittedly, it is not a problem all of the time, but only when using the strings in particular ways. And I do appreciate that recording in certain styles can get more of a characterful performance to use for samples. But I don't want to have to do post production to remove noises that they could have fixed themselves, and much better than I can.

I also really like Paul. I'm not surprised that he is happy with Spitfire libraries. I don't think that is a professional stance. If he wanted them different, they would be - within the limits of what they can achieve. Warren is an interesting chap, too. He does sometimes talk about sample libraries, but he is very much a producer and studio owner; recording and mixing mostly rock and pop.
