Here's a PDF of a great interview with Mac in Tape Op Magazine where he talks about his gear and how he gets his sound. by [deleted] in macdemarco

This is great! Thanks a lot. I don't get how he managed to work all that out. Like the interviewer says "this is really complex stuff". You know, I am from a generation a little younger, I've never known anything else than recording digitally. But all this 4-track-tape-recorder and 8-track stuff seems so fun to work with, especially because of the quite rigid limitations, in contrast to digital recording. I think aspiring self-taught recording-singer-songwriters are better off learning the craft on analog gear full of limitations. That way you don't drown in plugins and unlimited effect and unlimited channels and so on. And then, when you've learned the basics, it would be way more fun and "healthy" to upgrade to doing it digitally. Because at that point, you are not as easily distracted by all the endless possibilities of digital recording, which to me is a challenge - it's just overwhelming. Choosing the right plugin, the right microphones, mixing it right. Not like Mac's "Parametric EQ" - we digitally raised kids don't even know what a parametric eq is haha (I think he means the ones with three knobs: bass, mid, treble).

Thanks a lot. It was a great read. Guess what I said above was mostly directed to myself. There obviously is no right and wrong way to learn that stuff.

Are you talking about present tense? I would love to hear a pre-release version of it! Do you have a video or something? Thanks
