The UAD plug-ins sound a lot cleaner than the original hardware did. I use the Harrison 32C/SE Channel EQ when I’m in a nostalgic mood. It just sounds like you recorded something in a room before you processed it. It gives a nice, natural early reflection sound, especially if you use reverb on top of it, so it doesn’t sound like there’s this gap between the sound and the reverb.

That one’s brand new, so I haven’t used it extensively yet, but I really like it. I also use the 1176 and LA-2A plug-ins, and I’ve played a bit with the Ocean Way Dynamic Room Modeling Plug-In on a couple of projects. I have a real one of those, and the physical and digital versions are very close when it comes to sound. I use the EMT 140 and EMT 250 reverb plug-ins a lot, and also the Manley Massive Passive EQ Plug-In. Here’s what Guzauski had to say about reimagining disco circa 2013, using but not overusing Universal Audio tools, and blending disparate sonic elements into a single, sublime mix. The result has caught the ears of fans and critics alike, with Random Access Memories earning four-star ratings from Rolling Stone and The Guardian. His latest hit - the chart-topping Random Access Memories by French electronic wizards Daft Punk.Ĭonstructed in multiple studios across multiple countries, the unapologetically disco-flavored Random Access Memories melds acoustic live-band performances with vivid electronic elements, creating a result that somehow manages to feel both retro and futuristic, otherworldly and organic. Since then, he’s crafted recordings for artists like Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Eric Clapton, and Barbara Streisand. In the ’80s, his credit list grew to include the likes of Burt Bacharach, Madonna, Johnny Mathis, Quincy Jones, and Cher. Guzauski’s career began in earnest when he teamed up with Chuck Mangione in the mid 1970s, moving to Los Angeles to engineer for the composer. The Grammy-winner is in fact one of the most skilled and accomplished engineers the industry has ever seen. This is a highly anticipated release for Daft Punk fans, especially since the duo announced the official end of the group in February 2021 with an 8-minute video titled ‘Epilogue.Mick Guzauski may laughingly refer to himself as an “old fart” in the music world, but don’t let his humility fool you.
