Tune(s) of the Week: RIP Bob Power

Thanks to the above track by A Tribe Called Quest, Bob Power is probably the most known audio engineer in all of Hip Hop. He also worked on one of the more complicated tracks De La Soul ever made:

The whole thing was done on archaic samplers. Bob at one point had the whole thing setup and then changed one thing and ruined it, having to re-do the entire process. The final product took a couple of days.

For the more tech savvy amongst you, here is a great interview with Bob from Tape Op Magazine with lots of great engineering tips.

Rest in Power, Bob!
