Great video of Daniel Lanois mixing in the studio

I do not love everything he does, but Daniel Lanois is one of my favorite producers. He has been a part of amazing albums by Emmylou Harris, U2, Peter Gabriel and many others, but what I love about him most is that its always so inspiring to hear him speak or see him work. He is a big proponent of getting things exciting at the sources which is one of the things I try hard to convey in the Recording Boot Camps. A friend of mine just sent me a link to this video of Lanois mixing in the studio. Its great. No automation, just a mixer making a mix a performance, which is becoming a lost art.

My favorite Lanois productions:

Wrecking Ball: Emmylou Harris

U2: Unforgettable Fire (with Brian Eno)

Peter Gabriel: Us
