I love Joe's work.
He is one of my favourite Producer / Engineers, Fabulous track and love the treatment on it. Joe, always gives great insight and depth, as to his approach, his setup and through to recording and mixdown. He is a true master of his craft and so humble to.
Its a great privilege and feels like you are being mentored by the best, as with the access to all these leading lights in the industry.
I shall watch this many times and absorb all that i can.

Nice video. I love this band, but this album is definitely my least favorite. I don't know...Joe is great at what he does, but I think my preference is a little less effects driven than the sound he goes for. Well done video though.
