Documentaries about Music Production

Sorry to double post on this same series, but this is probably the best rundown of vocal processing I've looked in on... also, could this be a good FLA album post 2000?  Sounds like an updated Millennium track (lyrics are cheesy as ever, but that's a given with FLA):

Sexy!

He had me when I noticed all those Electrix units front and center in his desk rack.  That's not what I'm used to seeing.

Already brought up this particular youtube series in here, but just saw a particularly epic interview with Sean Beaven (NIN, Manson mix engineer)

Surely everyone has already seen this.

Omg westbam!!! I remember that guy! Feels like a previous life lol

This one really inspired me to push myself, to try harder!

Yeah would be nice to be able to test my works in progress out on an Ibiza audience. I would get kicked out of the club so fast: no mansion, no genelec subs, nothing for me.

A good takeaway is probably that 90% of your tracks won't be hits. Though I am not sure what to think of this - I probably should first have a solid foothold on just DJing or playing out regularly before I start caring too much about hits?

you should first stop posting on watmm

I only post when my tracks are rendering!

This is one of those things that totally changed my life. Just a 2 minute video. 

Beautiful.

Nabbed Catching the big fish recently and it's been a great source of motivation and inspiration for me. It's basically a collection of quotes and ideas which makes it perfect to grab and get a quick Lynchian perspective on things. Perhaps a bit like Eno's oblique strategies but not like that at all. 

I really like getting a glimpse into Ken Marshall's method.  He's definitely got a distinctive style.  Kind of funny that his vocal treatment in this case was removing everything identifiable about the original vocal.  It could've sounded like Ministry, but turned into post-2000 Skinny Puppy/FLA instead (who he also had a hand in mixing from time to time)

Not exactly production but foundational.

Bummer, link is dead.

David Lynch. :If you don't enjoy the doing do something else. For me that translated into using gear I like using. If something makes you want to be playful stick to that

Thats what the above video is.

Looks like Lynch has a documentary about him coming out, Probably why that was taken down

Not a documentary exactly but very good.

Spoiler: it mostly comes down to getting everything right on the way in.

Not exactly production but still important

This one looked quite nice from watching some minutes:

I Could Never Make That Music Again is a choral album, a sound collage crafted out of interviews, where artists, musicians, DJs and sound makers talk openly about their work, their visions, their hopes, their moments of doubts and their regrets in a loosely constructed narrative. Even though most of the people interviewed here have just met on a few occasions, they have all participated in the making of the history of electronic music; from the early tape experiments in the 1950s to the latest trends in techno.

not really a documentary more of an interview but I liked it
