As a musician and lover of most things musical I wanted to recommend Rick Beato's You Tube channel. He is a musician, producer and studio engineer and his channel includes many insightful and genuinely fascinating interviews as well as breakdowns of well known tracks.
His interviewing style is respectful, informed and most importantly he gives the interviewee as much time as they need to respond. He avoids sycophancy but retains a child-like interest and joy in hearing from these musicians. It's great.
Most recently I have enjoyed his interviews with Glyn Johns, Steve Lukather, Brian May, Steve Gadd and Tony Levin. I have plenty more to work through.
I would definitely recommend the Glyn Johns interview - at one point Rick asks Glyn if he was concerned about signal degradation when using long mic cables to record the Beatles roof top concert - he just looked bemused at the question
Puts things into perspective when some audio folks are concerned about how pure the copper is in their wire
Glyn also reinforces the importance of bands playing together and recording as a unit - he is clear in his view that this is where the magic happens and a little scornful of other more modern approaches !
Hope this is of interest.
I would also add that these interviews show that the truly great musicians seem to be consistently humble and grateful to their teachers and those who helped them .
