Creating the sound of The Strokes w/ Is This It and Room on Fire producer Gordon Raphael

Legendary ’Is This It’ and ’Room on Fire’ producer Gordon Raphael, who is credited with helping create the sound of The Strokes, joined us to talk about when he first met the band and his engineering process. We were so happy to invite Gordon Raphael to our Bristol campus where he gave an excellent Learn From The Pros Masterclass on his creative processes and how he helped craft the sound of The Strokes.
