This episode features my conversation with the legendary Bill Schnee.

Bill is a producer, Grammy Award-winning engineer, and author of “Chairman at the Board—Recording the Soundtrack of a Generation”, where he shares his experiences working on the records that made him highly sought after. In our conversation, we talk about how he got started in this industry, the value of having a mentor, and the factors that are essential to make a great record. We also discuss his experiences working with some of the most iconic drummers of our generation.

As this interview ran close to 2 hours, I have divided it into 2 episodes, so let’s sit back and get started with Part 1 of my interview with Bill Schnee. Follow Bill: https://www.billschnee.com Chairman At The Board Amazon
