rainierjmartin 0 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I've been a lurker on this forum for a little while now and I'm amazed at all the wealth of the knowledge here! I'm sure many people here agree that engineer Bruce Botnick is one of the best, if not the best recording engineer for film scores. His work on Jerry Goldsmith's scores, Alan Menken's work, and especially my favorite from the maestro himself E.T., sound so clear and warm even compared to today's modern film recordings. I've always wondered: How does he achieve this? What is his "secret" if there's even one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 He's just very good at his job. Marian Schedenig will remind you that he also mixed for The Doors, btw... rainierjmartin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Don't forget Temple of Doom. I dunno, he has better ears than most? Gruesome Son of a Bitch and rainierjmartin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Analogue and some grizzled pro secret sauce. E.T. is the best recording of orchestral music I've ever heard. Gruesome Son of a Bitch and rainierjmartin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,322 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 In the thread title, you're asking about his mixing process. In the message body, you're asking about his recording process. Two different things! rainierjmartin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainierjmartin 0 Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 Haha sorry about about that you're right! If anyone has knowledge about both processes, then that would be awesome. His recording and mixing process are some of the best I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Star Trek V also sounds incredible. It's drier than hell. Goldsmith's theme never sounded better. rainierjmartin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
