Mixing Drums - "Vintage" Organic Style Using Plugins 

Man your neighbor likes you , get her something like bunch of flowers with chocolates, don't forget 🙂

This channel will blow up if you keep making stuff this good. Subbed

Can't get enough "Vintage Organic Style" specially in the box. Thank you for this very enjoyable video and inspiring video

Beautiful video, loved it.

great video! welcome back!

man I'm thankful that I discovered you. BEAUTIFUL content!!

Fantastic walk through

Ayyy good to see you again!

Great walk thru.. and amen to your thoughts on digital compression. Ha! Agreed. 🙏 🔥 👌

Beautiful✨

Another incredible video about a sound design topic I've always had questions about. Thank you! Keep up the good work!

really informative, comfortable and vibey videos :) thank you

I’ve seen your reels on instagram so I subbed once you came up on RU-vid. Awesome to see you switch from monitors to headphones and make decisions in real time. Very helpful!

yo! love it. Thanks for sharing!!

yoo thanks for the vid :) as for compressors plugins on drums: i love the "kolin" compressor by analog obsession on 50% wet parallel, i think it sounds really sweet (and its free)- the vulf compressor has much more "sound", pretty intense and aggressive but i love it- very unique.

Great stuff.

Enjoyed that. Thanks!

Thanks for demystifying the process, sounds dope

loved this.

Amazing thump science! Thank you!

Man this is so wholesome and inspiring :) Thank you.

Love your content man, subbed. Keep on rocking and recording 🎧

Amazing stuff man

Dope video, love seeing the process. Loved the “sauce mic”

This was great, and super informative. Also loved the friendly neighbour visit, what a legend.

thank you for this!

cool style!

Love the approach. Big fan of the blown out saturated vibe on drums.

love this

really fun session, thanks for showing your process. All the best to your voice box, that kind of stuff can be really scary and lonely to go through.

amazing video man

great video, 💯

Thank you for putting us on game Matthew McConaughey!

Great video, intresting sound!

sweet video bro! thanks for sharing some in the box sauce

Love your video ❤

very cool man! subbed!

Nice, thanks.

Amazing video. Saturation is the key of every good sound, I'm pretty sure. I've been using Tape by Softube for a while now, it has a truly wide range of very consistent color options and I love it.

Great video! Very solid mixing fundamentals. Since you mentioned you were looking for a compressor, my go-to for drums is the Kramer PIE Compressor from Waves, which is a model of the PYE compressors they had at Olympic Studios, and even using it very subtly, it really brings the drums forward in the mix. I also second the person who mentioned Kolin by Analog Obsession, a model of a Collins 26U-1 vari-mu, and which is great in parallel. Aside from that, Arturia makes really good compressors (their 1176 is fantastic, as is the 33609, and their dbx emulation is so smooth-I love it on overheads). The Softube Tube-Tech compressor is great. The bx_townhouse is good SSL bus compressor. The Lindell SBC is a very solid API compressor. The DPR-402 (also by Waves) is good for when you wanna mess things up.

nice one

Thx a lot Sherlock 😁 Seriously this is such good content, I really enjoy seing the whole process, including the 'deciding what I want' part :) Lots of mixing videos are usually a bit too 'straight to the point' for me, so this is perfect ! Just subbed, wish you all the success you deserve ! Cheers

you look like benedict cumberbatch dressed as wes anderson

4:52 just in case you didn’t know, on Logic Pro you can drag up the eq curve via the left hand numbers column and physically see what frequencies are bothering you that might be hidden initially when you open up the Channel EQ :)

just became your 1k subscriber, awesome video! ◈◈◈

The "weird mids" were due to phase cancellation. Notice how the bass started going away when you brought up the weird overhead.

this. video. is. amazing. Sub'd. great content and would love more of this.

really interesting, subed

Subbed!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Great video dude, no compression on drums takes guts lol! Try MJUC if you dont love digital comps, it's a classic, 3 models in one, great on busses, and cheap! Kiive also makes very good compressors but pricey. Don't sleep on Analog Obsession either, huge catalog 100% free, tons of vintage goodness

great video, i share the approach to music making

XLN'S RC-20 is fantastic at throwing some 'Dust' on the drums...a dash of crackle and fizz = uber vibes

Great video like your channel! Could you make a video putting beats into tape to see the process and how to do/ what gear needed?

🤙🏾

enjoyed your video pal - it seems like you know what you are doing , or you know what you like would be a better way to put it . combine that with loving what you do and you should be good ! have fun

Really nice tone man ! just want you to know : for the EV635a, the Audix DCLIP works really well (and looks nice)

once you eq drums individually you cause phase incoherence- eq on drum bus and use parallel fx for individual tracks, and I love your vibe dude subscribed

11:07 now we talking! 🔥🔥🔥

Sounds like a modern drum kit with distortion. I would personally leave a lot more mid range, perhaps ease up on the distortion, and experiment with some SLOW compressors - thats all they really had back in the day. Some altec style compression on the buss with a gooey slow release

This video is really really high quality. Could you please do a video showing your process for adding reverb on drums? Both in an artificial and “realistic” way?

I like your speaking microphone.

Great video! I’m curious as to what microphone you are using for your voice? I’ve seen it around and i love how it looks

great video!!! btw you look like a dr strange variant lol

I found this video interesting, I also use the studer a lot on my drums however I use it on the drum bus, I heard you also say you haven’t yet to find an impressive digital compressor, wondering if you’ve tried the UAD api-2500 I find it very accurate punchy and transparent

Killer stuff! Subscribed and followed on IG! What's your preferred mic for the kick drum?

There is something very "Napoleon Dynamite-ish" about you.

Thats nice! That being said at some point looks like you re just throwing more plug in without reason or real purpose, like I got that one I like lets use it ;)

Benedict Cumberbatch look alike

Sony 7506 and JBL 305? That's what I have. fun to be able to put the headphones and switch to monitors to hear what you are hearing

hey man! great vid really, are those tips applyiable to instruments? im trying to get vintage in my daw but i don’t have any analog gear. and where do u learn this mixing stuff? also for someone who doesn’t know a lot about mixing explaining what you are hearing and doing helps a lot

I noticed you have a real to real tape deck, in shot. What do you use that for or is it just for decoration? Thanks in advance just been given one on loan…

Do you have any info on that Akai M7 mic? I’m not finding much!

kinda now sounds at least for me too much spacey/stereo to be hitting hard enough as drums. but still really interesting way to mix and give it some texture!

why don't you make one exploring your (i think i've seen it at least) dbx on the rack? cheers from Brazil...

Damn sherlocks alter ego

Hey ! What is you'r mic ?

Why do you dislike digital compressors? I've never heard a hardware compressor, so the Plugins I have sound fine for me. Curious to know your answer. Great video!

1970s AG Cook

damn you're like benedict cumberbatch if he would be a producer

@vvundertone do you mind listing all the plugin used?

So I heard this guy is Butch Vig's nephew...

What caused you to lose your voice? Nice vid!

not my best work lol

SHOW ME DINKYYYY

Cool video! Interesting to see / hear your process.... That Arturia tape plug in seems (to me) to be one of the more useful tape emulations, I think it's based on the Mellotron?

that gretsch is phaaaat

There is some noise in the left channel.

Don’t you check the phase first?

I thought it said “mixing drugs”

I also hate beta52s

Try not high passing kicks / bass with a steep filter. The phase rotation can create some huge peaks and mess with your headroom. Shelving , even at -15 or whatever, will do the same thing wothout the danger or such intense peaks from Phase shift.

Sounded better without plugins, dude

Remove fundamental from snare?... weird tbh

nah wtf was this lol

if you reaslly want vintage, you need vintage mics

Guys, music producer content creators should just skip intros and life story, and just go straight to the material. Majority of Music producers are not elementary anymore. I had to skip this video, im just tired of hearinn life stories instead of what the thumbnail entails

Not so sure I agree 100% with your police work there. The original recording is bad. You used a bunch of bad dynamic mics, presumably because they look cool and have hipster mojo? All these plugins are just wrenching tortured high frequencies out of bad tracking, and compressing the hell out of them. There are easier ways to get bad drum tracks, such as a crappy drum machine plugin. This looks like a textbook case of hearing with your eyes. Entertaining video anyway - "it's the journey," right?

You know what. This sucked. Distortion plugin on saturation plugin on distortion plugin on buzzword plugin (god particle lol srsly) tape plugin distortion plugin tape plugin... honestly, its like watching a 16 year old cooking a pasta in a dorm room and pouring a glass of cheap wine. Get some perspective lol

dude your background music is sooo loud its very hard to understand you, mix your video sound first before drums... bye
