Joe Goddard Interview (Hot Chip, The 2 Bears) on Music Production and Genelec Monitors...

Joe Goddard founded Hot Chip along with Alexis Taylor back in 2000, but as we learn during this interview shot in Joe's home studio in London, the roots of the band that became Hot Chip started long before that. Goddard most recently released an album as 'The 2 Bears', working with friend and DJ Raf Rundell, and much of their music and remixes as The 2 Bears and originated in that very room. About a year ago, Goddard bought a pair of Genelec 8250 Bi-Amplified DSP Loudspeakers to improve his mixing capabilities at home. The 8250's feature a thing called AutoCal - the speakers adapt themselves to the acoustics of the room. The biggest benefit, as Joe outlines, is that AutoCal can work wonders on problem bass frequencies present in the room - something that is difficult to solve even with acoustic treatment. Source Distribution's Genelec specialist Steve Fisher visited Joe's studio and calibrated the 8250's - we think Joe says it best in terms of how his mixes improved after that.
