Bob Power (A Tribe Called Quest, Erykah Badu & SO Many More)
🕑 Added 2023-11-30 06:09:43 +0000 UTCBob Power is a legendary Engineer and Mixer who's known for his work with A Tribe Called Quest on ground breaking albums like "The Low End Theory" and "Midnight Marauders", having also worked with more artists than I can name (De La Soul, Jungle Bros, Erykah Badu, D'Angelo, The Roots, Meshell Ndegeocello, and so many more).
In our conversation Bob tells me about his work on these albums, how he got his start in music, and we even get into some mix tips.

Imma leave a comment and show some love. I LOVE hearing engineers and especially old school engineers just talk at length. It's just a fundamental aspect of the music we all love and since it's not really glamorous it's so under-rated. I'd have sessions where the artist would come track for maybe an hour and bounce meanwhile I'm inside every track tweaking every frequency til the sun is up🤣🤣 (then u get a little more efficient and it don't take that long but the hours would just slide by)

In retrospect I should have gotten Bob to do a “Bob Power, you there?”
