Trevor is the epitome of hard work. My friend shared a flat with him, when Trevor was a bassist at the local night club. He said that Trevor would work hard all week, then spend all his money on studio time, recording a song called 'Video Killed The Radio Star'.. If it wasn't right, he would scrap it and start over again. It took him almost 2 years to get it right.

Big up the editor who concisely, smoothly, subtly cut this talk into 100% killer no filler. Fantastic talk

In the 80s and 90s, Trevor Horn was seen as the epitome of a producer for inventive and extremely detailed, rhythmic productions that sounded epically big and powerful. We couldn't believe how great it sounded. He could take a (not so great) singer like Grace Jones and turn her into a music goddess. With him behind the production, it seemed impossible not to have a successful record. And he never chose "cheesy" solutions. It wasn't until youtube came around that we could actually see him and get to know him as a real person. Not just an iconic quality tag.

One of the greatest record producers in the business.

I would listen forever to Trevor Horn telling his stories

I’ve been a professional singer since 1973. Never been a famous one, but I’ve had steady work my whole entire life. What an amazing guy Trevor Horn is. It would be a pleasure for anybody to get the chance to sing if he’s producing. He seems to take all the scariness out of singing in the studio. A lot of times when you’re just doing your job trying to sing the song you don’t get the feedback that you should get and you just start to feel left out of the loop with all the musicians and the producers if nobody’s telling you what’s good or what’s bad. so thank you Trevor for being an incredible guy.

An hour of Trevor Horn discussing recording vocals!!! Are you kidding me! This is so amazing.

Wow that was actually incredible. The amount of valuable information is insane.

“No mates, only birds” in the studio…great advice in my book.

This man is a legend!

This is wonderful. Trevor Horn is a genius. I really hope that those there get to understand the wisdom he presents here as their careers go forward.
As someone who has recorded hundreds of singers in my time, the single most important thing is generating the correct psychology to get the best out of the artist. I have seen world class singers on the other side of the glass and they have been terrified. It's the loneliest place in the world. If they are doing their job properly, they are laying their very souls on the line to be criticised and scrutinised and that requires trust.

Awesome hearing TH riff on these topics. Seal is def one of my favorite singers. What a talent!

The story he tells about John Legend (or rather, about some of the people John Legend was working with at the time) illustrates this point: to be able to make music on this level and get paid for it is a complete privilege that should never be taken for granted. People like Trevor never take it for granted. He knows that the music he leaves behind will still be listened to 20 or 40 or 60 years from now, so you'd better get it right. Reminds me of some stories about Steely Dan. For the most part, they poured all of their rock star money into their records rather than rock star extravagances, and they have a legacy of brilliant music to show it.

Wow, amazing to hear Trevor say he tunes vocals these days. I'll bet if asked he'd say it wasn't needed in the old days because singers used to be able to actually sing! And how cool that after talking about people like Seal, John Legend, and Rod Stewart he says Chris Squire was the best harmony singer on stage he'd ever worked with. Yes fans know this, but it's really great for Trevor to acknowledge it after 40+ years.

This was such a delight the entire way through. Trevor is the Man.

Really, really cool to hear Trevor's philosophy, work ethic and insights and lessons learned from his illustrious career. I fondly remember working in Sarm West, bumping into him whilst we were recording RITF with Julian Mendelsohn in '87, and he was I think recording/mixing Frankie with Steve Lipson, with Lola on reception and Lucky cooking up some delicious Jamaican cuisine. "Great days" ;-)

This was wonderful to hear in terms of the psychology involved, Trevor Horn is so understated in his style but look at how much he's achieved. I was in the studio once as an observer to watch a good local jazz band record, and I went in thinking it would be terrific to watch the band performing. I wound up being captivated instead to watch the performance of the producer. He was adopting one persona to speak to the band, being ultra positive and smooth in terms of responding to & guiding the band, but whenever he was speaking to his engineer (and therefore off the talk-back loop) he was almost a completely different person. I can imagine it's fairly draining to keep doing that all day! This guy had quite a different personal style to Trevor Horn, but he had a similar attitude with respect to the psychological elements.
