Rick's expression 6:07 , when the engineer is explaining the rack equipment. You better not mess up! 😎

@lucasmedia1 6 месяцев назад

Exactly what I was thinking lool, Ricks eyes look like they're holding a gun to GL'S head haha

@gerardporqueres6989 5 месяцев назад

I was thinking the same! When you say midrange what do you mean exactly? 👀 490 and 470Hz 😰

@adrianosullivan7548 4 месяца назад

Solid death glare for that poor fella's whole contribution

@cwdrummercwc4128 4 месяца назад

Hahaha!!!! Glad I wasn’t the only one who thought that 😂

@compucorder64 2 месяца назад

Yes, seemed like bad vibes from Rick. Don't think I'd want to be his engineer, to be honest.

@Joormode 11 месяцев назад

Would love to see much more mixing videos on this channel, like you did on your main 5-6 years ago.

@katielowen 11 месяцев назад

100% agreed; those are my fav of Rick's videos!

@apexperfection619 11 месяцев назад

Rick please make more content like this. This is my favourite type of content from your channel. I know it may be a bit niche but this is killer. Keep up the great content

@danjwalker 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for wrangling your friend in by making him explain the WHY! Great video as usual.

@andretonelli 11 месяцев назад

What a stunningly useful video, Rick! Whenever GL was falling into the common “a little bit of this and that, let’s move on” thing, the fact that you stopped to go deeper is where the gold really lies. Great job to both of course. And Greg!

@three3fitty573 11 месяцев назад

Rick was giving a death stare😂

@wootube 11 месяцев назад

We’re seeing Rick the taskmaster, but god damn, it made this a 100% more useful video than if he let GL just yadda yadda over the details!!

@anttisilventoinen6133 3 месяца назад

Rick's eyes in the beginning! "You better not fudge up!" This was awesome! more stuff like this! I'm still trying to figure out my recording studio, and I need all the help I can get!

@anttisilventoinen6133 3 месяца назад

HOME recording studio, i should say.

@MoreMeRecording 11 месяцев назад

Cool! Looking forward to more recording tutorials from Rick. I've been recording for several years but always have LOTS to learn!

@DelmaRaySmithJr 11 месяцев назад

The interaction of each individual involved colors the sound and the songs in a never ending churn, Rick is the personification of Art, as he demonstrates here without demonstration.

@mwdollar 4 месяца назад

I love how Rick is looking at the engineer as he is explaining things @ 6:56. It's the exact same look I give to my audio students when they're explaining something to others. That I'm ready to jump in if one little thing is incorrect or needs clarity look lol. A great teacher and musician.

@leaharrington4472 11 месяцев назад

The sound of the drums in the room IS the sound of the drums. Love this so much.

@JoshuaStormmusic 11 месяцев назад

Thanks a bunch Rick & GL. This is a gold mine of a drum mixing tutorial. Crisp, clean and straight to the point. Thanks again.

@jayaraise 11 месяцев назад

More of this please. Just taking the time to explain the little details and show behind the curtain is so appreciated. Well done - thank ya much!

@IPoopOnYouEveryLastOneOfYou 11 месяцев назад

When you get Tom to explain the reasoning behind the decisions, that is so extra helpful, great way of lifting up these videos so it doesn't have so much calculus trigonometry class vibes.

@brunopradomusic 11 месяцев назад

Yes. I want to see more content like this. Rick talks very little about the technical side of his producer career. Would be nice to see Rick mixing stuff as well. Thanks for everything you do for the music Rick

@KhemBMD 11 месяцев назад

i really love how the room mics are what brought the kit to life. that was quite amazing to experience. the kit sounded good before but once the room mics were involved we were THERE

@coastrider9673 10 месяцев назад

As a lifelong drummer and recordist, I have tried many different mic techniques. What I have found to be the best is a well tuned kit in a nice sounding room, recorded with only two mics, and no processing. The two mics are a figure eight ribbon and a cardioid condenser, in a coincident semi Blumlein M-S arrangement, placed just above the drummer's head; with the ribbon track then copied, phase flipped, and panned to create stereo.

@BananaManPL 11 месяцев назад

Honestly - just listen to the room mics. 80% is Gregg's spectacular playing, 20% comes from the pro-grade, well tuned drumkit in a good room. Everything after that is just flavor, it's really hard to screw up such a good source.

@bobbyd88 4 месяца назад

I would be very interested in seeing more of this kind of content. I'm just starting to record at home and this was very informative. Thank you.

@austinhealey5158 10 месяцев назад

Hey Rick Yes more recording videos please

@genuinefreewilly5706 11 месяцев назад

Very helpful. Those small tweaks collectively make a huge difference. For sure please do more

@stratfanstl 11 месяцев назад

Great subtle tip. If you record the TOP and BOTTOM of a snare, reverse the phase of the mic of the BOTTOM to avoid the top and bottom signals being out of phase with each other and killing the attack.

@steelesaldutti 11 месяцев назад

I would love to see the same video on guitar tones: How to mic a cab, what speakers to use, how to dial in the amp, EQ and compression (probably in the box as most of us don’t have outboard, how many mics, condensers versus dynamic, what pickups / guitar etc

@MrG1275 22 дня назад

@progression_decibel 8 месяцев назад

This is phenomenal, Rick thank you.

@TomCawoski 11 месяцев назад

Great video Rick!!! I'm one of those who would love to see more content like this. You did a couple drum recording/mixing videos a while back but left out the EQ points that you were using for the toms. From this one, looks like you are using the same mic preamps and I'm so glad you didn't skip over the EQ points!!! I'm a drummer, engineer, producer, and mixer and these kinds of videos have been a great source of good information for me. I've been getting good drum sounds for the must part but for some reason I have been snuggling getting a great tom sound. I suspect a bit of my issue is related to the size of my room being too small. Anyway, I so appreciate your channels and encourage you to continue to make all the content you are doing. There's a lot of good content here and I appreciate what you do!!! Bless you Rick!!! 😎🎶

@UdiKoomran 10 месяцев назад

An point almost always ignored is were to place the drum kit in the room - were does the kit and the room ( especially the low end ) interact best. Same actually goes for any other instrument. Moving the source by a feet can dramatically sound different and placing it in the right soot will ensure optimal response and then will require much less processing And its quite an easy task to fulfill

It could be a contest, but of course, there would be a million submissions… Now I understand… That Rick has become such a big personality in the music world… There may be some very strange sense of pressure, having all those eyes and ears on you. I say forget about that. Make this song great. ! 🔥🔥🔥

Rick seemed a little annoyed and waiting to pounce when the other guy didn't give enough info haha. It's okay everyone has bad days or maybe Rick deals with this guy a lot and is aware how he is. Rick also knows to explain things in detail for youtube videos.

@rickbeato2 11 месяцев назад

This guy is GL. We have been working together for 23 years and he’s part of my family. He’s been in many of my videos but isn’t used to explaining things on camera. It’s difficult if you’re not used to it.

@atomspliter3493 11 месяцев назад

This takes me back I was in a audio engineering school back in the nineties and these are for the most part the mic choices we used back in the day. Back then we had three studios which had a neve, SSL and a api consoles to choose from and we had old studer 2 inch 24 track machines to record to and mastered with dats. Cool video, takes me back.

@auxorion 11 месяцев назад

Being a mix engineer is largely about playing with tools to arrive at a goal. It's just tool after tool after tool. __ to add a little __, __ to add some __, etc etc etc. It's crazy how loaded a project can get. Sometimes I feel like I'm overdoing things, then I see videos like this and think "damn, maybe NOT ENOUGH actually.."

@marammahanta1218 7 месяцев назад

Great lesson. We need more videos on Drum Eq!

@createlovehappy 11 месяцев назад

Yes please more content like this. Maybe how to get a great drum track in a less than perfect room. My room was fairly big but had low ceilings and that made it very difficult to get room sounds because the bounce back was so close. The best I could do was use less mics. Kickball inside the kick, 57 on snare, rode K2 tube in cardiod as a single over head, and a pair of shiny box ribbon mics set up 3-4 feet in front of kit at about snare height in Blumlien set with capsules at 45 degrees instead of straight on. So the front of one was aimed at the floor tom and the other was aimed at the hi-hat.
