Hi Rhett! I’m one of your subscribers and fans from the Philippines! Just a quiz question: Why does the vocalist use two microphones at the same time? Is that to minimize time for doing double recordings?
Really cool putting this out there in such a raw format. Love hearing you slowly work out that ending part and catching the convos on arrangement. The mutual respect was so apparent. Nice work y’all! 🤘
I like this song quite a lot, it sounds ''alternative'' in a trippy way. Like '90s indie rock. A mix of jangly picked parts and slightly noisy/shoegazy ones.
Step by step: 1. Spend years of trial and mostly error 2. Accumulate mass amounts of gear 3. Find several unicorns (people of minds, like tastes, like goals, with their own gear that have lives that allow getting together regularly) 4. Write songs that sound good and have meaning No sweat hahaha
My biggest struggle in home recording is getting the drum software to do what I want it to do, and it never does. I usually get burned out after five hours trying to get a beat I like and quit. I have so many lost songs because of this.
Find a song you like and use the beat. Change the tempo and key. I do it all the time. You wouldn’t know. Also don’t be afraid of samples. One of my favorite songs uses a loop from Take Five. Also check out players you like. They often have drum samples available to use free of copyright after purchasing. Joey Waronker has definitely got me interested. .
Studying drummers and figuring out what you like when and why though is essential for a producer. As is hiring talented studio drummers who will have ideas you simply won’t have.
That guitar idea around 4.50 minutes into the video sounds great to my ears!! Great band, a true unit: love it! Man, those vocals always are so powerfull! This man can really sing! Shivers! 🍀 (BTW: if you’re comming back to Europe (or The Netherlands) to play gigs or record and Philip doesn’t want or can’t bring a (back-up) bass, he’s totally free to use one or more of my (Fender/ Peterbuilt) P-style, J-style or Guild Starfire basses. If he wants to set them up to his personal taste? No worries at all. They can handle anything. I can send photo’s / specifics if needed.) Good luck guys! 🖖
Happy for you, current culmination of a dream. I like Noah's voice, but I'd love to hear it more within the context of that opening jam. Nuclear grade pipes need something rich to lay waste to.
Really cool, you ended up adding in what became my favorite part of the song! Funny that you had played the song for 6+months and only then did u add that in
Desktop Mac, Garage Band, a Line 6 Pod Go, a few cables, you really don't need more then that. 10's of thousands in gear is just overkill. Pretty good song.
2nd to last step: Fall in love with your creation, convinced it's a hit, you convince yourself people will say it's the best thing they heard since the 70's, get jazzed! Final Step: Fall into deep depression as nothing happens, your sonic masterpiece is completely irrelevant.
I still think the band should be called just 'Good Trouble' as you yourself referred to it as. Being in a band is all about compromise. It was nice to see/hear you guys acknowledge the drop out one by one idea, give it a try, and ultimately go with the vamp. You could tell that's what you wanted to do from the beginning but you were open to others ideas. Nice. I would suggest though to try, even for one song or even just a given day, to not play with a click. Get rid of the grid and just listen to each other like the bands that you grew up to did. And look, after doing this for 30+ years, have fun man, you smiled once and that was at the end where you weren't exactly excited about your performance. Don't be so serious, it's called "playing" in a band for a reason brother. Cheers Rhett.
Love your amp setup!! I'd really like to own that Marshall or Orange and that cab!!! Sounding great my friend... Soon as i hit the Powerball I'll have a badass amp setup
Wonderful, love this type of video which showcase your talent as arranging your songs and teh choice you made very instructive for band like us who want to devellop more compositions
You cant make enough of this type of vids. Also it would be really interesting if you could document the process of making a video, from coming up with the topic/concept to the editing
That was an enjoyable video, and cool vibe tune. Thanks for sharing. Just an observation from the outside in of musicians and friends making music, I wonder if in the ending discussion, the most collaborative and inclusive approach would have been to try both the suggested part drop out succession/chord ring, and the fade out options, listen to them both, then collectively feel how it shakes out. The change in the chug part came out nice and elegant. Word.
really love this video. the battle of bleeding mics. or does it all go through in ears? well, no you mentioned the 4x12. guessing the shape of room helps a lot. angles and stuff...
Great stuff, very inspiring! But could you please get a gimbal or just a gopro with stabilization turned on? I was getting seasick after a few minutes (yes, i’m old)
I’m a huge fan of recording in a large open space together with bleed, takes me back to the 60’s and 70’s recordings. In this style I’d prefer to kill the click and let it be organic as you are going for the live vibe anyways. Difficult spot is the overdubs can get tricky. Sounds great! 👍
@@thegoodguy44 that’s the point. 😊these players all have very good time and feel and the rhythm section is locked in. The ever so slight change is the feeling I go for in recordings, not so polished.
How Do You Record Multitrack and Not Have Digital Artifacts When Recording With a Computer ?? What's The Trick to it ?? Everything You Do Sounds So Good and Analog !!
Nice! Any chance you could ever do a video about the optimal recording/practice space setup or at least about the setup you're doing? Curious if those 4x12 are pushing air whilst you're recording or is there a loadbox sending signal to your studio mixer and into your earphones?
