Live From The Artists Den. Downloads - Interview with Bob Ludwig of Gateway Mastering. MusicTAP recently had the distinct pleasure of speaking with Bob Ludwig of Gateway Mastering. Bob graciously agreed to answer a set of questions formulated by myself and TAP writers, Greg Warner and Grey Cavitt. We hope that you'll enjoy the insight that Bob 's answers provide into the world of mastering and the role that it plays in delivering quality music. We like to take this opportunity to thank Bob Ludwig for taking the time out of a very busy schedule to participate. We now turn it over to Bob. Before I start with these “re-mastering” questions, I wish to remind readers that my main job is doing first-time original mastering of projects that have never been released before!
For me, the pressure of doing original mastering brings about a hundred times more pressure than doing re-mastering of existing catalog work. While the competition between us is intense, all the top first-run people know each other and we all consider ourselves friends. Bob Ludwig: It’s often hard to tell. ML - Rush: Clockwork Angels full album reviewed track by track | The Wreckers. A big, brash British power chord opening, evoking so many things Who and Kinks, lights up this one-of-a-kind winner. There's so much that's good about The Wreckers that it's hard to know where to begin: the way Lifeson flamenco strums his guitar and how Peart catches and accents his every move; how Lee sings huskily and wistfully, revealing previously untapped emotions; and the gleeful way the band bodysurfs giant waves of sound, crashing against one another and stirring up their own kind of current.
This is the kind of song that engages you on so many levels - you like it because it sounds great, because it's being played by Rush and you're thrilled that they can push all the right buttons, but mostly because it renews your faith in the idea that rock music still has crazy and beautiful places to go.
