On: The Problem with Music (1993)

> That’s why few self-respecting engineers will allow themselves to be called “producers.”

btw, HN'ers, I'm preparing a new Substack post about "music movies you haven't seen" and one of the ones I saw when it came out was about a recording engineer! Imagine that. I think Tom Dowd is the only engineer anyone would make a movie about.

It's Tom Dowd and the Language of Music and now I can't find it anywhere. Can you?

This is the cheapest copy I could find in 30 seconds: https://www.ebay.com/itm/155484714542?epid=30902174

My Monday morning inspiration: maybe I can get it uploaded to YouTube! They have lots of movies there that probably get fewer views than this would.

I need to find the copyright owners.

Thanks. Yeah, I don't need to own it; just watch it again. No Amazon Prime, no Netflix, no Kanopy.

I did end up getting a copy, but looks like you found it elsewhere. The copy I found though the person who uploaded it does not want it shared on YouTube or any other platform.

Anyway, thanks for bringing it up, it looks interesting!

I found it on a community specializing in out of print media. I'll see if I can get a copy.

Finished watching it. So much great music that he was responsible for!

Now to see if I can get the owners to let me upload it to YouTube. They can keep all the ad money (if there is any).

Done.
