Be sure to check out www.lalal.ai/ when you're done with this video! Incredible that we have this tech available to us these days. Link also in description :)
A bit of context - that "beachside house" he recorded in was in a place called Yallingup, and cost about $3m. The houses are all owned by ultra wealthy people, it's a stunningly beautiful place but hardly a humble little beachside town, haha. Great video!
@@alexs5394 he bought it few years after the recording (just in time for the 10th anniversary), when he got really big and profitable, if i understood correctly
@@alexs5394Nahh, I’m sure he just asked the record label he was with (modular records) for somewhere remote to record the album and someone at the label had a link to the house somehow and let him use it. He only actually bought the house a few years after innerspeaker
I agree Jose. I love this new breakdown series Ricky is doing. He really does his research!!! I'm digging the behind the scenes stories. I had no idea about this beach house thing. So cool. ✌
That’s my Quad preamps, Tape Echo, NS10’s,Urei Parametric , missing from your story are the 6 racked Neve 1272s, and 2 Distressors all hired.🐹Vocals were recorded at his house in South Beach months later after doing some pre mixing and overdubs at my professional studio in Fremantle. Check out the liner notes.😊
the room they recorded in was large and full of wood, glass and stone and had a balcony looking onto the floor below making it a pretty big and very reverberant acoustic space. wave house was actually originally (poorly) designed to be a recording studio. the mix room was originally underneath the room they recorded in. there was an old fucked up piano downstairs that made it onto a few tame impala tracks. there's also a natural cave/amphitheatre right next to the house that was a legendary underground party and concert venue. I know this cause I used to live there. ps. yes the house would leak like crazy haha
@@AudioHaze I had a small recording studio in there for awhile myself (after he recorded in there) plus I live around the area and have heard the stories from the ex owner and other friends who lived and partied there. I was the caretaker there for awhile. I know some of the studio engineers who helped set it up originally. it's a very well known house in Western Australia mainly for the wild parties that went down there. After Kevin Parker bought it there's been no more parties that I'm aware of. it's his private escape and can't be rented by the public anymore. there is a really nice studio that's opened next door and I wouldn't be surprised if Kevin has a nice one in the renovated original wave house.
I liked Tame Impala when they first came out and moved on. But RU-vid Music kept telling me I should listen to more of them. So reluctantly I finally did. I hate it when an algorithm knows my musical tastes better than I do. Tame is pure musical genius.
As a guitar player I'm kinda sad that he moved away from guitar sounds. I get it it's super cool to play at the with your guitar, I'm trying to do the same thing myself, but you can beat the tones and riffs on the first two albums
I've never found a channel that i felt catered to me personally as much as this one does. I love and respect what you do and you've got a ride or die in me. Keep it up 🙏 PS your video on your own personal journey was inspiring and I wish I'd had the chance to mosh in a basement to your band ❤
The larger speakers (6:10) are Pioneer CS-703’s, I almost bought a set a couple years back but the seller said last minute they didn’t work and were for decor only. Sicc vid btw
Watching this vids give so much motivation and validation to the hours i (and prob everyone else watching this vids) spend in our rooms tryna make music man. Absolute legend🤝
You’re right about the Tame Impala fans. I feel like apart from enjoying the songs themselves, a lot of us are just fascinated by the technical side of the production. Kevin Parker opened my ears to a whole new world of sound. I devote all my attention to the tracks when I’m listening to Tame Impala. Nothing else will matter in this very moment, because there is so much to learn from this music on so many levels.
I love this series. I really want to start recording some drum stuff now. Shout outs to the LS-208. Another well done, well edited, interesting video, my dude! Loving these.
For years I've gravitated towards the Devil Loc plugin for many of my compression needs, without knowing it's based on a real piece of hardware. It just does what the video claims. And now it makes sense how Tame Impala's drum tones were shaped through the same kind of processing.
another banger from audiohaze !! always excited to see a new video from you. know that your hard work is much appreciated :) if you keep up this level of content creation there is no way your channel won't blow up in the near future. thank you!
Splendid video. My final project in audio engineering school was a presentation about the recording techniques of Tame Impala. One interesting random fact was that the drums on "The Less I Know the Better" were recorded outside! You don't need a studio or even a building for a hit song haha
I'm working on my album right now in a very similar setup. dont have much but i have what i need for now. back and forth b/w mississippi and LA and living room studios.
@@AudioHaze absolutely man! It’s really inspiring. I don’t have all the same gear, but I have a lot of similar gear, and I’m really considering going on a little retreat at an Air BnB by the water, and recording an album. Your video made me realize how possible it is to create something that I (and hopefully everyone else) will love. Your research and hard word, and knowledge is definitely appreciated by this music nerd. Keep up the good work.
Hey man, thank you so much for the videos, I love that you keep covering stories of people making great art working with limitations and cheap gear as someone attempting to do the same I find it greatly inspiring and motivating please keep going.
Thank you for another insightful and educational analysis. This series of videos that you are making is so important to the next generation of producers, engineers and musicians. Learning to do it yourself is going to be critical in light of the fact that most professional studios are folding under the weight of their own colossal expenses. You also inspire and encourage people to not be afraid of their so called "limitations" but to embrace them, me included. What you are giving everyone is so very important. Again, thank you!
Man, I remember looking at Sam Ash catalogues back in the day and salivating over those multitrack recorders that cost thousands of dollars. Even though I do everything in a DAW now, I'm really tempted to buy a hardware multitrack if they're only a few hundred bucks.
Commenting purely for the algorithm. But I can actually vouch for this videos sponsor. Stumbled across them a while back working on a project for a friend and it did such a good job.
This is a great, thoughtful video re an important modern rock/pop album by a great artist. This channel deserves all of the appreciation (i.e. likes and subscriptions) it can get. So give it!
That synth-guitar tone was actually done on a Boss BR-600, not the 864 (although you can get an identical sound with that one too). You can see Dom use it live in all of their performances
Kindly Forgive for Sin of ignoring your videos and watching trash on youtube , but today you have opened me eyes, ears and soul . So much fun and informative , love the way you do your editing and articulate message that you convey, keep it up.
Today, I finally subbed because you present so very well with authenticity from actual experience. The tips on gear and technique are greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work!
This guy is starting with the advantage of money and family. some of us don't have that . the room this guy is in is worth more than my entire life and is a level i aspire too. There are people out here way more broke with way less opportunity, and no i'm sure the trolls will say and less talent. its a difficult game getting up from rock bottom.
Really happy you brought all this info together, this is a great video. I've been obsessed with Tame Impala's sound for years. The big Technic speakers weren't for mixing. He said they just look cool! And he's right haha
This is great information and I've already learned a lot from the few videos I've watched over the last few days but that's not even the point. You make me so excited about recording and making music it's crazy how inspiring this stuff is. Keep it up, I'll watch it all!
Your tone for speaking, cadence all that delivery the continent everything is very very listenable. Thank you for not dominating things with a bunch of noise music, just good content good job.
For sure that's one of my all-time favorite albums and it's great that you made a video of the technical approach for it. Really good content, liked and subscribed 🎉
You asked and I subbed. I like your videos. Cool content and style. Continue to lean into the cool person who is YOU. No one else out there is like you!
Nicely done video. Subscribed. I’ve found over the years many of my favorite albums were recorded on basic digital track recorders (vs 880/vs1680 etc ). As someone who used those extensively… it always blows my mind when I find albums I thought were done in studio, we’re don’t on a portable multitrack.
Yes 1272s we’re definitely on the drums, not sure about the rest . We did some overdubs here at Poons Head, guitar and bass,,,Bass went through a Fender Tremolux
