Who are The Producers That Influence You?

[john]

Hey

 

I often see musicians talking about writers or artists that influence them, but rarely are the producers mentioned and yet often they have been a huge part of getting the "sound".

 

• Ken Scott, David Bowie - David Bowie, Hunky Dory
• Nigel Godrich - Radiohead, Ok Computer
• Adrian Utley - Portishead, Dummy
• Andrew Powell - Kate Bush, The Kick Inside
• Bjork & Graham Massey, Neilee Hooper - Bjork, Army Of Me
• Ian Anderson, Terry Ellis - Jethro Tull, Aqualung
• Henry Binns, Sam Hardaker - Zero7, Simple Things
• Svein Berge, Torbjorn Brundtland, Olie J Mjos - Royksopp, Melody A.M.
• Pink Floyd & Chris Thomas - Pink Floyd, Dark Side Of The Moon
• Mark Ronson, Salaam Remi - Amy Winehouse, Back To Black

 

There's plenty more, especially on the rock side of things. These are a few of the producers (in no specific order really) that have influenced my approach to production.

 

Who has influenced you?

 

Cheers

This is a YouTube producer who really captures great reverb and dimension. His name is Sean Divine. Look him up. He teaches some great courses in mixing and mastering.
