On top of everything he’s talented with Nolly has the most relaxing and easy to listen to voices ever. How does one man get blessed with being so good at everything lmao
I guess im randomly asking but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost the password. I love any tricks you can give me.
@Raiden Heath thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
What I appreciate the most about Nolly is that he thinks before he speaks. Uses the ideal ways to describes very subjective things. With his experience and ears it's probably pretty easy to come-off as all-knowing or arrogant...but he never loses sight that mixing is really hard for everyone else.
It’s amazing how little processing electric guitars tend to need in comparison to other instruments. I guess it makes sense considering the guitarist has like a billion knobs to control their tone pre recording.
please do a video on dialing in a guitar tone! i realize GGD doesn't have a guitar plugin to promote, but it would be awesome to get some insight into how you work VST amps and impulses
I wish you'd show how you mixed White Bat by He is Legend. The guitars feel like they're everywhere, but still so tight, and there is so many subtle things going on. You're a wizard.
@@HiredGoonage for starters, Nolly can actually mic up a real drum kit, whereas CLA would just mic up overheads then sample augment the shells (maybe he actually can, idk, you might want to correct me on that, but in his studio, i see him just miking the overheads). sure CLA is more successful but that doesn't necessarily mean Nolly's not up to the task for recording and mixing stadium selling bands like Green Day
Is it a good move to put the rhythm and overdubs in a bus with a multiband on the mids so the guitars don't go overboard with mids, yet don't get too scooped in the absence of the overdubs? Or is automation better? You're awesome, thanks
Something I don't get - I did an Audio Engineering diploma back in 2001/02. We were taught to always push as much signal into at each gain stage without clipping. No red for digital gear, "splashes of red" on analog gear. Here, Nolly (and heaps of producers) have really low signal. Is there a particular reason for this?
Mitch "In the digital realm, we’ve got a lot of space to work with and a very low noise floor in most situations. This means that tracks can be recorded a solid 10 - 15 dB below clipping, leaving you all of that headroom for transient peaks & processing. You gain so much flexibility from leaving yourself plenty of room that the benefits easily outweigh the cons of not getting as close to that little red light as you can.”- Joey Sturgis
@@travislee9662 Thanks Travis - I didn't know that! We were taught both tape and digital (ProTools), perhaps things have changed over the (18) years, or the tutors had it wrong with gain and assumed digital should reflect tape techniques. Learned something I'll actually use!
Mitch yeah from what I read on that Joey Sturgis post is that it’s a hold over from the analog techniques of wanting to get it as close to clipping as possible. Good for analog then because it would produce a natural compression that would sweeten the sound a little but not as much for digital and comes out harsh. Everybody was trying to record digital the same but he’s saying it’s not necessary and you can leave yourself more room to work on the sounds later.
Gret stuff - but truth be told it sort of depresses me because I don't "hear" a lot of the individual moves he makes even when I can see the plugin on and off. Really need to invest more time in this kind of thing
It comes with time. Hang In there. Sweeping eq frequencies like he highlighted at 3.3khz is a great way to train your ear what frequencies are where. Compression was a bitch for me to learn how to here when I started haha. Just keep at it!
that scuffam amp sim sounds noisy. doesn't really sell me on it even though he does a great job of cleaning it up it's still noisy. especially on the sustained notes they are noisy for no reason. no excuse for them to sound like that. part of the problem is likely the pickup on the strat if it's low output than means higher noise floor. Why use a strat on a high gain metal-ish song? Ever heard of Ibanez? They're pretty cheap and sound much better. I'm checking out after seven minutes of this but thanks anyway. seriously though what would this guy do in the old days without help from Pro Q?
