Shot out to Travis Thibodeaux, as a kid with his dad in “Deuce of Hearts” a two piece band, he played drums and keys at the same time setup up next to the hi-hat. It’s always good to hear how great he’s doing being we from the same town.
Thanks Joe insight on the mix! It was a great joy to mix this track during the contest period. This was a great song, overall the song moves you, and that's where it's all about!
That was one of the most relaxed tutorials I’ve seen in a while ....answering a lot of questions we’d like to ask . Really enjoyed that mate ...thanks 👍
This is one of the most helpful vids ever: allowing us to listen and watch a well-known, humble engineer/producer's insights and thought process while he is working (and yes, I see the two well-deserved Grammy Awards in the camera shot 🏆🏆. I only have Pro Tools and the dog). It would be nice to have more raw track contests recorded by a PRO. This Mix It contest was fun and a great experience- even though Waves told me I came in a three-way tie for last place ☹
Awesome video Sir, The omni's at the two ends of the barn knocked me out. Your approach to mixing is soulful and takes me straight to flavortown. It's always a pleasure to see and hear a master craftsman doing what he loves and has tremendous passion for. I remember when I was first coming up in LA, masters like yourself were very reluctant to pass on their expertise; yet you do it with style and grace...very rare commodities these days...Thank You Sir...!
Hey Joe...Great song and excellent over-the-shoulder style video. Killer repeating delay on the snare gives the song movement and juice. Well done indeed!
Awesome studio dog. I know an engineer who takes his dog to work. When you can take your dog to work without issue, you know you got a high quality A1 dog.
Enjoyed going through the plugins and micing strategy, insight into how another producer's ears work and the decision making process is very useful. I do the same with Amplitube (guitar / bass) - start with a preset that's in the neighborhood, then tweak from there. I wish I could say I know what every amp, rack effect, and pedal sound like together in every variation, but I have a different day job. lol Shortcuts make finishing a song in my lifetime possible.
Hi Joe, love the great video, love your honesty, I’m normally a RnB kinda guy but I love the song it had a very modern contemporary feel to it . Mixed all in the box more or less ? Waves plugins it just goes to show the kinda quality that’s accessible to us all these days, great job very informative , Thank you
Nice vid. Thanks for sharing. I enjoy my Waves plugs very much. Using the Omni Channel now. Jealous of your space, JW. Nicely put together, and the barn reverb is amazing. You should sell that as a plugin!
@@MoveUpMedia well it was already mixed at the start…you can see he’s already got effects, automation, and the faders are already set. He’s just showing you what he’s done. And of course starting with quality signals is going to do more than anything else could.
I used to live there.....I miss it SO bad!!! There's a reason they call it "Music City!" It has more music than L.A. Or NY and is a fraction of the size....and it isn't all country, either, though that's the obvious top genre. There are clubs, musicians, etc for EVERY genre from Metal to Electronic....but there is a Very healthy and Vibrant *Rock* scene...at least one of the Very Top Rock scenes in the nation!! I LOVED living in Nashville...it's a special city and I hat d to have to leave (had to for family) but I am Definitely going back Asap!!! If you live music, Nashville is a GREAT place to be!!!
Is there a reason he refers to what the C6 is doing as "limiting", instead of compressing..? I know it has knee and attack and release, but what actual ratio does the C6 use..?
So, Kieth Urban's hit songs are mixed with Bass Guitar Direct Injected into a Computer, and then 2 Plugs. A Plug In version of an 1176, and a Plug In Waves Amp Simulator that's not even set on Bass Amp, but a Guitar Amp all with neutral settings.. I somehow highly doubt this. There is no 'mixing technique' demonstrated at all.
It was a sad 😔 day when pop creeped it's way into country music... Kept noticing you referencing pop singers and groups. I think you intended this to be a country song. That being said you got a nice setup.
While this is an excellent mix it leads to the problem with current Nashville and most other modern music..A solid wall of sound, Way too many instruments and no breathing room. As DAWS become more powerful and more tracks lead to more tracks and more compression we have a sine wave of music. This is of course just my opinion and I long for the 8-16 track days of country music. Merle, Jones, Pride etc. Now what was that on track 87..oh..
