Gareth produced five albums for techno innovators Depeche Mode and six albums for synth-pop superstars Erasure, and many more. As the mixer of John Foxxâs seminal album Metamatic, he realized that an artist could truly define his sound with electronics. Then, as the co-producer of many of Depeche Modeâs greatest works, he helped to create experimental music with global chart appeal.Trained at the BBC, Gareth got his start recording the best of London 1980âs new wave and industrial artists before he moved to Berlin to work at the legendary Hansa Studios.During the interview we talked about taking advantage of unforeseen opportunities, his love of modular synthesis, life on the bleeding edge of technology, the appeal Logic Pro, and much more.On the intro Iâll take a look at the rise of fake artists, and why even die-hard analog engineers are okay mixing in the box today. var podscribeEmbedVars = { epGuid: 'https://bobbyoinnercircle.com/?p=2618', rssUrl: 'https://bobbyoinnercircle.com/feed/podcast/', backgroundColor: 'white', font: undefined, fontColor: undefined, speakerFontColor: undefined, height: '600px', showEditButton: false, showSpeakers: true, showTimestamps: true };Ad link: Explore The Mixing Engineer’s Handbook (6th Edition), the go-to guide for modern mixing.Thank you for tuning in to Bobby Owsinski’s Inner Circle, the podcast that takes you deep inside the music industry.
