Good stuff. A lot of what we already talk about here but some great perspectives from both.


summary:
17:00 Ola likes air moving (cabs)
20:36 Playing live you'd like to think people care about your amp/signal chain but they don't. Just that one gear head guy in the front row :lol:
22:40 Quad Cortex/Neural DSP discussion
26:30 How it is harder and harder to do anything new. Need to check out EasyMix by Toontrack
29:45 Don't need thousands of impulse responses. Ola's new pack has only 3 :D
Guitar players just want to sound good and don't want to tinker. They understand guitar signal chains better now though because you can visualize everything in a path on your screen. But we're loosing the "tricks" and "mods" and some of the fun parts.
36:00 Mesa Mark 2C+ stories
41:00 Ola when recording always uses a neural dsp and separate DI with plugins that can be tweaked as you go along and always re-amps
42:00 The distribution model has changed. Solar guitar example. People want things now.
 
You know you've made it when you are interviewed by Beato! :cool:

He's interviewed every giant out there now short of McCartney.
 
I like how Ola basically said there are lots of YouTubers but that he enjoys the genuine videos of a guy playing his amplifier in his bedroom who is loving it and having fun and who thinks "I gotta show this to the world!"...so he makes a video of it. That excitement and craving to share with others is what YouTube has always been about. Not only the paid, curated, content creators with all the posh lighting and cameras.
 
....And Hetfield.


Hetfield interviews are typically pretty bad. He has trouble going off-script. I remember Rogan interrupting a hunting story to ask how bear meat tasted, and Hetfield was like "uh..... meat" (actual quote) and then continued on with his well-rehearsed story.

Still...better to get a few tid-bits from him before the Alzheimer's fully kicks in...and all is lost. I don't think he's gunna be around much longer.
 
Ola is always a good watch. I enjoyed this interview quite a bit. this one and the one with Wolfgang VH have been favorite as of recently
 
That was fun. Thanks for sharing. You don't need to be a fan to enjoy the discussion. Good watch.
