WEBVTT FILE 1 00:03.071 --> 00:06.821 Don't get too upset if maybe you haven't got the best gear. 2 00:08.670 --> 00:14.619 Just concentrate on making a great song that people will emotionally respond to. 3 00:18.675 --> 00:23.339 It's not fixed. Music's all about, just, taste and how you're feeling. 4 00:23.340 --> 00:25.140 That's what I love about it. 5 00:27.886 --> 00:29.785 There's no right or wrong. 6 00:37.448 --> 00:39.265 Hello. My name's John Davis, 7 00:39.267 --> 00:42.257 and today we're at Metropolis Mastering in Chiswick in London. 8 00:42.258 --> 00:44.905 We're going to be going through two tracks; 9 00:44.907 --> 00:48.474 one that's going to be coming from beautiful half-inch tape. 10 00:48.476 --> 00:50.827 The artist is Damon Albarn from his new album. 11 00:50.828 --> 00:53.583 The next track is going to be by the Fete Sad Girls, 12 00:53.584 --> 00:56.553 a collective from Brooklyn, in New York. 13 01:02.949 --> 01:05.453 We're going to get our hands dirty with this one; 14 01:05.455 --> 01:07.858 maximizing, buffing, and sheening. 15 01:07.859 --> 01:12.676 Whereas the half-inch tape is more of just a little bit of touches of fizz 16 01:12.677 --> 01:15.858 and not so hard work. 17 01:15.859 --> 01:18.421 But you'll see both sides of my day; 18 01:18.423 --> 01:22.109 the easy side and the side where I have to actually work for a living.
