He&#8217;s worked with many of the biggest names in music, including<strong> Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, The Who, David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Hall &amp; Oates, Bryan Adams, Robbie Williams, Toto, Bon Jovi,\u00a0Altered State, Simple Minds<\/strong>, and hundreds more.<\/p>\n<p>In case you missed it we recently took a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/clearmountains-domain-plugin-demo\/\">Clearmountain\u2019s Domain<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Throughout his career, Clearmountain has been nominated for several GRAMMY Awards, winning a Latin GRAMMY in 2007 for Best Male Pop Vocal Album for engineering Ricky Martin&#8217;s <em>MTV Unplugged<\/em>. He&#8217;s even won an Emmy, seven TEC Awards for &#8220;Best Recording Engineer,&#8221; two additional TEC Awards for &#8220;Best Broadcast Engineer,&#8221; one &#8220;Les Paul Award,&#8221; and a Monitor Award for the Rolling Stone&#8217;s <i>Voodoo Lounge<\/i> pay-per-view show.<\/p>\n<h3>Early Life and Career<\/h3>\n<p>Clearmountain&#8217;s love for music started at an early age. Influenced by his older brother who played guitar, he decided to play bass as a teenager. During his formative years, he was also intrigued by recording technology and frequently dabbled in electronics.<\/p>\n<p>In high school, Clearmountain played in band who recorded their first demo in New York City at Media Sound. Unfortunately, as high school bands tend to do, they broke up shortly after recording the demo. However, he would revisit the studio, this time looking for work.<\/p>\n<p>Media Sound hired Clearmountain as a delivery person, and within hours of getting the gig he found himself assisting on a Duke Ellington session. This gave him his officially start, and he worked steadily throughout the &#8217;70s as an engineer, carving out a niche for himself. By the end of the &#8217;70s, his skills had garnered quite a bit of attention in the disco world for his incredible work on albums from Chic and Sister Sledge. He even mixed Kool and the Gang&#8217;s 1974 release, <em>Light of Worlds<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>In the &#8217;80s, Clearmountain started producing records for then up-and-comers like Bryan Adams and the Church, while also engineering established superstars like David Bowie and Roxy Music.<\/p>\n<p>Clearmountain really had his breakthrough in 1984, when he produced Bryan Adams&#8217; #1 record <em>Reckless<\/em> and Hall &amp; Oates&#8217; <em>Big Bam Boom. <\/em>The same year he had the opportunity to mix\u00a0Bruce Springsteen&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Born in the U.S.A<\/em>. Clearmountain worked closely with co-producer Jimmy Iovine, mixing\u00a0even more hits by\u00a0INXS (<em>Kick<\/em>), Simple Minds (<em>Once Upon a Time<\/em>), and the Pretenders (<em>Get Close<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>As a technologist, Clearmountain developed SessionTools in the &#8217;90s to help with the day-to-day workings of a modern recording studio, which was a studio management database application. He also released a series of CD-R collections of sampled bass, drum, and percussion sounds.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past decade, Clearmountain&#8217;s mixing\/engineering work has included Simple Minds&#8217; <em>Black &amp; White 050505<\/em> (2005) and <em>Graffiti Soul<\/em> (2009), Bryan Ferry&#8217;s <em>Dylanesque\u00a0<\/em>(2007), the soundtrack to Martin Scorsese&#8217;s Rolling Stones concert film <em>Shine a Light<\/em> (2008), Bryan Adams&#8217; <em>11<\/em> (2008), Alejandro Sanz&#8217;s <em>Paraiso Express<\/em> (2009), and Ricky Martin&#8217;s GRAMMY-winning\u00a0<em>MTV Unplugged.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Bruce Springsteen&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Born in the U.S.A.<\/em><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-44339 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/BruceBorn1984.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/BruceBorn1984.jpg 300w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/BruceBorn1984-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/BruceBorn1984-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/BruceBorn1984-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/BruceBorn1984-270x270.jpg 270w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/BruceBorn1984-225x225.jpg 225w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/BruceBorn1984-170x170.jpg 170w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/BruceBorn1984-40x40.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/BruceBorn1984-18x18.jpg 18w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/BruceBorn1984-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/BruceBorn1984-16x16.jpg 16w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/BruceBorn1984-14x14.jpg 14w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/BruceBorn1984-10x10.jpg 10w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/BruceBorn1984-20x20.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/BruceBorn1984-9x9.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Clearmountain mixed 1984&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Born in the U.S.A.<\/em> Springsteen&#8217;s seventh studio album, <i>Born in the U.S.A.<\/i> was a massive commercial success.

The album was an important one for a number of reasons, notably because it was an experimental piece as far as studio technology is concerned. The album&#8217;s production relied on both tried \u00a0analogue recording techniques and what was, at the time, cutting edge digital technology.<\/p>\n<p>In 1984, 24-track tape machines were widely used, though digital recording was an emerging technology as well. Hall &amp; Oates opted to record on tape rather than on digital multitrack machines. They did, however, take advantage of the latest musical tools available at the time, like advanced polyphonic synthesizers such as the\u00a0Synclavier and the Fairlight.<\/p>\n<p>SEE ALSO:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/5-delay-mixing-tricks\/\">5 Delay Mixing Tricks<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/mixing-basics-drums\/\">Drum Mixing Basics<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/mixing-with-headphones-vs-monitors\/\">Mixing: Headphones Vs Monitors<\/a><\/p>\n<p>With these innovations in recording tech concurrently happening alongside the album&#8217;s production, Hall &amp; Oates started to digitally sample everything they recorded.\u00a0For example, Clearmountain and drummer\u00a0Mickey Curry\u00a0recorded different drum sounds, using creative delays\/reverbs to create huge dramatic low end that is representative of <em>Big Bam Boom<\/em>\u00a0and the sound of the &#8217;80s altogether.<\/p>\n<p>The band also had the opportunity to experiment with unconventional sounds, like recording Boy Scout canteens, cardboard boxes, footsteps, and other &#8216;foley&#8217; effects.
