My parents & grandparents always watched it too. And yeah, some of it was okay but I still feel I deserve some pain compensation. 🤨

No, don't get ur coat. Music is like food and we all have diff taste. As long as ur not a Rick Astley fan, ur welcome here 👍

Cheers Byron. Yeah it's a very sterile album. It has too much compression, too much chorus, too much reverb, too much 80s synth, and too many tracks. And worst of all, it has an electronic drum sound. You could actually argue that Mutt Lange jumped the shark with Hysteria. But I gotta give Mutt some credit too for Hysteria. He had a legendary work ethic and he developed MANY inventive techniques on it (I know that from watching all those Bobby Huff videos 😁). Also, Mutt knew how to write & arrange hit songs then he knew how to produce them to fit the music scene at the time. He also accomplished DAW results using tape machines. Everyone who's ever worked with Mutt says he's a genius. But again, no arguement from me on the overproduced thing. Hysteria is as sterile as an operating room. 😷

I feel u Nitrate. I personally think Def Leppard were better songwriters than Europe(although Mutt Lange surely played a big part in that). But youre right, Leppard became more & more Pop as they went along. However, in the early days, they were part of the new wave of British heavy metal and their first album actually influenced some very heavy bands. But again, these vids are mainly about production techniques. That said, I'm also subbed to a guy on youtube named Bobby Huff who loves breaking down Mutt Lange & Jeff Lynne recording techniques. I have no use for 95% of what he shows as it doesn't fit my syle. However, I still appreciate the creative recording techniques and occasionally I do learn a useful trick. Cheers my friend 🍻

Cheers Cookie. Yeah, I was a High & Dry fan too. And for the record, I'm no big Hysteria fan, esp now. Even back in the '80s, Hysteria sounded overproduced (that's saying something 😁). And yes, it's def a little too Pop-py for Hard Rock standards. I just enjoy these videos. I like seeing the techniques & tools used Regardless of the style, I usually find something interesting in them. And just so my Heavy Metal street-cred is not in question, please know that I only listen to REAL Heavy Metal bands (Like Poison, Britney Fox, Vixen, etc) 🤘😜

Does anyone else notice that most "easy to open" products are rarely easy to open? I know some products are actually easy to open but is this used by many companies as just strategic marketing (false advertising)? I'm sure all food & medicine companies have to meet certain anti-tampering regulations. And with other companies, it may be poor "easy open" designs, poor materials or poor machining. But regardless of the reason, they still seem to want possible customers to think that their product will be as effortless to open as it will be to consume or use. I guess they have nothing to lose by telling us it will be easy to open even if they know it won't be. Perhaps they've done studies that show that most of us just assume we're too stupid to open it the right way. 😄

First, I'm a Metalhead too so I know there's no such band as "Whitesname". 😄 Second, I guess u didn't know that the song "Pour Some Sugar On Me" was actually written by Lemmy. (Mutt Lange just changed the word "Co©aine" to "Sugar") 😄 Third, Lemmy also cowrote the song "Love Bites" with Def Leppard. The opening line... "When u make love, do u look in the mirror?" is also about Lemmy's love affair with co©aine. 😄

I still have my Phonautograph recorder from 1862. The foil cylinders are very hard to find but it sounds great thru my NS10s . 😜

Cheers Misha. Yeah, I know Jonesey is a nice guy. I wasn't trying to be mean either, I was just trying to clarify things. And I agree with u that whoever uses the subscription model and it works for them, more power to them. But the way I see it, 5 yrs of renting Sonar would cost me around $700 and I'd still own NOTHING at the end of those 5 years. Why on earth would I do that when my other daw works great too and I own it? It's only a matter of adjusting to a slightly diff work flow. I just think that Bandlab overestimates people's need for Sonar. But I guess time will tell wont it? PS. I thought I HAD to rent my socks. I'm excited to know that there's purchase options available now 😁

Cheers Misha. I was coming to ur defense but u posted just ahead of me. I see ur pretty good at defending urself anyway 😄

So you've bought that but won't pay for Sonar? Interesting What part of free do you find unpalatable? Cheers Jonesey. Misha said, "purchased a license" to another daw. That's completely diff than a subscription where at the end, u own NOTHING. Sounds to me like Misha WAS willing to pay for Sonar ... Just not willing to lease it. I too WANT to give my business (in the form of a purchase) to the Cakewalk team. But I'm not doing a subscription. Anyway, I have a great backup daw as well... that I OWN. However, I'd still like to purchase CbB or even Sonar(like they insinuated would be an option). But if Bandlab is eventually willing to lose my business by trying to force me to RENT it, than I am willing to lose Sonar. Especially since my other daw is by no means a step backwards. Maybe I'd feel a little diff about subbing to Bandlab if I had any use for their other services, but I don't. Also, I know what Misha means by "tethered". Those of us using free Sonar are at the whim of Bandlab's decision making. They can pull the rug on us at any time they choose. For someone like me who owns no previous versions of Cakewalk/Sonar, I would've been foolish not to backup my tracks to a paid version of another daw. I need to know I can access my old projects and I didn't wanna have all my hard work held for a yearly/monthly ransom. Bottom line, I think Misha, Kurre & myself are on the same page... We WANT to support Cakewalk/Sonar but they need to help us help them by offering a purchase option. After all, doesnt Bandlab know there's other good options out there for a one time, affordable purchase?
