One thing comes to mind here...."The proof is in the pudding"... This formula works on every genre of band folks. Great video HCMS! I think this is the ultimate climax that can and should happen with an online teacher who has been teaching and promoting their techniques. If you have the cash and can get the full stack producer, it's going to fill in the blanks, and be worth every penny if you apply yourself to it. This was a pleasure to watch.

I'm sure it's a lot to produce, but I would watch this every week in a series. It's nice wish fulfillment for those of us who aren't recording in a studio, but wish we were. I realize we're only seeing a small snapshot, and I'm glad you didn't just show the easy parts, but I'm curious what you do to make the band members feel comfortable when they're performing under the microscope. I think you can hear that comfort level in a performance.

A series is a great idea because if you only show one band then you start to feel like this sound is the producers sound. Showing multiple bands would help the watcher separate the band’s style from the producer’s talent.

@MickeyKriese Месяц назад

@@metaldeadman2441 Right on man. Killer job and killer track man!!

@OmniFace Месяц назад

The rhythm guitars were tracked through the Orange cab (V30's I think?) and a micro amp on the pedal board. The Lead guitars went through Neural DSP. The 5150 I think? And yeah, like @metaldeadman2441 said, the Mig didn't make the cut. It was too clean if I recall correctly, and we couldn't get enough gain out of it on it's own.

@ktreier Месяц назад

@hardcoremusicstudio Unrelated to this excellent video. I have built and equipped well, a small project studio principally for mixing and singer/songwriter type tracking. In the beginning do I give work away to build a catalog of demonstrable capability. Record and feature my own music. What’s the ground zero approach to getting work?

@metaldeadman2441 Месяц назад

A DI was captured in the control room but we also ran a speaker cable out to the cab in the live room. I can’t recall which made it on to the final track.

@benjaminneilmusic Месяц назад

we ended up using the mic’d cab on the final track - jordan tweaked the analog sound to get close to the plug in we liked, but at the end of the day the warmth and natural sound from the cab was preferred

@scottybrowndotca Месяц назад

I realize this is like a highlights reel of a few days - but I'm curious, on average, how many takes these guys were taking ..? At one point the guitarist plays a higher arpeggio-type riff and breathes out like it took a lot of work, but it looked like he just aced one take .. Asking as I've done production work for a long time, but in a smaller community so "preparedness" always comes into question and I'm curious about normal expectations

@metaldeadman2441 Месяц назад

we went through a lot of different iterations on how we wanted that lead played, so there were a lot of takes just figuring out things like which notes should be palm muted, are we pedaling the root note between arpegiations, stuff like that. Once that was decided, it was a few takes to get clean. It’s not a super difficult lead, but it’s not a lead that’s easily broken down into smaller chunks so he had to get the whole part in one clean take so it did take a little bit.

@hardcoremusicstudio Месяц назад

This session followed the same schedule I’ve used for many years - for each song, it’s 2 days for tracking + 1 day for mixing

@parkerbeats 29 дней назад

personally i think the mix sounds a little too closed but well executed song, cheers

@blueskylizard1 Месяц назад

Was it a plugin or an amp in the final mix ??

@OmniFace Месяц назад

Both. Rhythms used the Orange can and an Orange pedal board amp (Orange Terror Stamp I think?) and leads used the Neural DSP with the 5150 model I believe.

check out those fills - that’s one or two takes each and some pretty impeccable timing. whoever their drummer is must be really good (and handsome too)

@OmniFace Месяц назад

As one of the students, I don't believe Jordan ever voicing that opinion, and we were honest with each other-so I don't think your assessment is correct. :) Editing was pretty minimal actually - because Jordan had him play the parts repeatedly until he squeezed the best out of Daxon.

@ChernobylAudio666 Месяц назад

Looks like there was an agreement with the band for Jordan to also help with production during the recording, which includes helping fine-tune the songwriting process. So during the recording process, Jordan was being a producer, throwing out ideas to improve the song. Then he mixed it. Pretty normal.

@DRJTUBECHANNEL Месяц назад

@OmniFace Месяц назад

Jordan was playing "Producer" in this case. So, he was the recording engineer, mixing engineer, and producer-helping refine the song.

Recording and mixing is not 'producing'. misleading title.

@metaldeadman2441 Месяц назад

@metaldeadman2441 Месяц назад

It literally is, it’s just a highlight reel from the 3 days we spent with him. I’m the original producer, we handed it off to him and he took over for those 3 days, filling what would typically be my role; changing parts, picking source tones, deciding what can be done to level up the song. This is a 20min snapshot of a 36hr process. They filmed quite literally all of it, I’m sure there will be more detailed videos to come.

lol - 'gay teenage music' chill dude. let people do what they want. you know the biggest power buyers in the states are kids. if they are trying to make pop music, it's supposed to be popular. pay more attention to the techniques and the ways in which they are constructing things. doesn't matter what music they're making. there is quality production, and there is amateur production. what kind of music do you have to share?
