i know Im randomly asking but does anyone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost the password. I love any tricks you can give me.
@Trent Crosby I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
It's amazing to hear how well this sounds with just one microphone and a free DAW. It really shows that nowadays, there are no excuses to get your creativity out there.
Almost every comment here: "great video but the religiousness is annoying" Cmon guys. He just does what he loves and we are judging him for his beliefs rather than appreciating the help he's given us by teaching how to record our own songs and do what we love.
you're right, but recording for drummers is always a pain in the ass... they need to be metronome precise, 100%, all the time. they're slave of the click in the earphones. try to pley relaxed if you have a machine precise click in the ears forcing you to be a machine not a human ;-)
When I saw your first video yesterday (The 5 things you need for a home studio) I thought to myself: "He must be a born again christian, he speaks like one". After watching this video, I know it. I'm a christian singer songwriter from Mexico, starting to build my home studio and I want you to know that your videos are not only very practical but very inspiring too. Awesome life advice on the ones with the 1st rule of home recording. God bless you a lot
A perfect example of "it's not about having the best, it's about knowing how to use what you have." This is awesome, Graham. A HUGE inspiration to us all!
GREAT video, its awesome how you show you can actually record a whole song with acceptable quality with just around 200 dollars, and your computer, its realy unbelievable, only 200 dollars dude, and it sounds just fine, but seriously, sounds fine, any band would love to have that simple recording. Then what if you spent 400 dollars? 800 dollars? 2000 dollars? Well spent.
Great video as always. I admire your efforts to convince people that they should focus more on music and on using what they already have as best as they can, congratulations
I love this song! It sounds so amazing, fresh, new, clean. true, the drums sounds roomy and the snare isn't loud enough but with only one mic! Your a master at this stuff! This is genuine christian rock! Thanks for doing this.
It's great to hear these drums in with an entire mix. Many of the minimum drum micing turotials on the tube show how to to set up the mics, but not the recorded sound mixed in with other instruments. Excellent!
Dude, that was seriously the coolest thing I've ever seen. In one shot, you showed your serious talent for recording, music, and your faith. Bravo kind sir. I've got your bandcamp saved in my favorites.
This video came out right around the time I started recording my own material. I come back here every once in a while and I've shown it to many of my musician friends. Every now and then, I need to be reminded that there's value in keeping things simple.
My goodness you are a talented man. This is so sick! Love the song as well. I was absolutely astonished by how well one mic could pick up that entire kit so well. I would love to have seen a more in-depth look on how you mixed it
Great channel. I was looking around RU-vid for something like this to help out a friend who's going to be recording his Praise & Worship songs from home soon which I'll be playing drums for, and found you. I didn't even think you were a Christian until I heard this song. Praise Jesus, what a blessing, keep doing what you're doing for His glory.
Great example graham. You vids have helped me massively on improving the way my home recordings sounds, using less plugins and faster. Great work, please keep the vids coming.
Worship music isn't for me, but I can certainly appreciate your videos. Thanks Graham for posting and showing how easy it can be to record and for your tutorials.
I agree, that was fantastic as well as encouraging! I'd love to see more challenge videos with the result being an original or cover. It could be a cool little series!
Great demo, I love the fact you can hear a good balance of the drum kit with one Mike , who would have thought .! Great tips too on you other videos Thanks graham
Great Guitar Playin! Hey I Just purchased this Fast track solo...But am getting no sound thru my speakers. I have the RCA cables connected 2 my small mixer straight to my Maudio speakers and I hear nothing. If anyone can help let me know
u just saved me a whole lot of money.i used to play the drums yrs ago but been using Addictive Drums program.i wanted to try playin drums over my music again as aproject.how to mic it up was always aproblem..u got a great sound.well done and thank you
Excellent sound. I have to say you played and sang everything really great. But it didn't hurt having a drummer who knows how to play in these situations. Thanks to both of you for all of your help.
Hi graham. Love this vid. This is very simular to the gear im using.. I dont have space for a drum kit so I use a sequencer, but apart from that its the same. Its encouraging to see whats possible with this kind of gear. Thank you for the inspiration
Very cool! Thanks for sharing this. I love how you put this video together, with the step by step, easy to follow, demonstrations in step with directions! Especially the various mic placements!! That's the stuff I've read or heard before, but I'm always unclear and confused when it comes down to mic placement. I also love how you recorded the bass direct! You'd laugh if you could see all the different ways I've tried recording bass!! My jaw dropped when I seen, "bass, plug in direct."!! Hmmm, the only method I haven't tried.. Lol. Very nice. Thanks again!
Took me over half the song to realize he was singing about Jesus, I was so busy looking at the mic positioning I wasn't really paying attention to the lyrics lol
very cool. im learning to breaks some bad habits from your other videos. its hilarious that you are dealing with a lot of the same things i have, which drove me to take a break from it for a while. so, im going to start fresh with limitations and see how this goes. thanks for making these vids. have an awesome day bud!
I was looking how to get some good recordings without having a big studio. It was great... you are doing an amazing job, this shows that everyone can get good recordings without spend too much money. Thanks a lot man!!!
I rarely comment on videos, but you've done an excellent job with this. It's important to note the drums, which are hard to record..especially with one mic, sound great. Also note that it's a minimal kit, played thoughtfully, and not overplayed. That's important for any tune, but almost necessary when using few mics.
Glad you demonstrated that. We'd use 3-4 mics for rough practice R2R recordings but still sounded good, albeit ages ago. BTW, your tune has a nice beat.
Great work man, This is a perfect example of how good you can be with knowledge instead of cash. I've seen ALOT of people with serious gear and they suck, really really bad......
Graham you are simply outstanding teacher. I have learnt so much from your chanel and started getting result applying your technics though my DAW is cubase.
Ironic how this sound and equipment would've been cutting edge back in the day, yet, people dismiss it today and want old gear because this is "limited". Who understands mankind? Great job, Graham! God bless you!
Good job fellas. I don't care whether graham sings about jesus, buddha, allah, or plugs a hand weaving website, i'll leave that aside and take the gr8 info he delivers around recording. Love it!
I copied the mic position you used for the drums in this vídeo, put another one in the bass drum and worked great. Recording na EP with this configuration.
Wow, sounds way better than I expected. If I was going to get nit-picky, I would boost the bass frequencies by quite a bit on the drum (kick region) and the bass guitar more forward as well. Couldn't even really hear the bass guitar. It's a bit thin in the bottom but overall sounds great. This reminds me of the good old days of being a beginner and a songwriter, just like you said. There is so much joy in it, and it's good not to get too discouraged about money and gear.
Bro, what a great video. You know, I've always dreamed of being able to record my music but the budget is always tight. To pay for a professional studio is not something you do a lot these days. And yet, you really showed me how to stop excuses and make music! I'm loving the fact you share your faith with these videos. Thank you for your hard work. Susbscribed from now on! Keep it up!
Simply put, if watchers don't like the theme of the music, they can go elsewhere for recording tutorials. I firmly believe that if Graham wants to demonstrate his production chops using Christian music that is his right. The whole purpose of viewers coming together to watch these videos is because we love and have a passion for recording music. It does not matter if we are into Jazz, rock, pop, heavy metal or whether we are Jews or gentiles, music is music. Once again, great video Graham!!
This is what it's all about really, making great music with what you have, and doing a damn fine job of it in the process... Just a really impressive piece of work,sounds fantastic and to do it with "budget" gear just shows it's not what you have so much as it is how you use it...Inspirational.
I always find myself watching this video and it proves I have no excuse for not recording and getting a great result, time to get a couple friends in and set up that mic!
Fantastic video! The productions of your videos have gotten so good! I used to say all the time...."if you cant record an entire song using a single SM57 then you need to re-think what your doing" You just made my point with a different mic! Great job
Ok so here's what I think first I think this came out great considering the budget you had it's pretty good improvising and it's good for anyone who just wants to get there stuff out there...but The problem with recording with one mic, especially the drums, is that you now can only pan the drums to one location of the speaker which means that all the instruments are playing in the same space, I know this video is an "improv" for people with small budgets but its still not good if you want your song to sound more full because with more mics you now can pan each instrument to it's desired location depending on it's set up...(mixing tip) So my advice to people wondering, is get your band together and save up money to buy a good audio interface and as many mic's as you're gonna need, it doesn't need to cost much as you can see from watching this video you can get a great sound using a hundred dollar mic, so find ways to improvise! ya know? and you don't have to record each part one at a time, you can all get together and record the traditional way, when you have more mics Anyway it still sounds good!
i respect you sir. you are such a genius... i have through your radio ready guide and Studio gear guide, i must say it is helping alot to make some very important decisions concerning music career. Thank you sir.
Graham, stay true. Stay blessed. Am I religious, no. Do I believe in God, yes. And I pray to him every night. You are beyond kind for sharing your knowledge with people. I've watched numerous videos that you've created and they've helped me achieve things in my home studio exponentially. For this I thank you. You are obviously moved by a higher power and it's allowing you to enjoy a rich, fulfilling life. How many of us can say that. Peace & Thanks to you for what you do. God Bless.
Nice mate! and yep this is what I do all the time at home. Except for the drums, I could never get it right, so now recording my drum tracks straight off a program. Wasn't much of a drummer anyway ; ) but all guitar work, acoustic, electric, 12 string blah blah all off one mic (studio projects) using the Yamaha mw10c recording unit.
that was great showing the mic placement for a single drum kit mic. makes me think of a creative way to do that + a further away drum mic A/B stereo-pair in phase to capture a phat room sound. Mmmm THANKS!
Great job. Never seen the "over the shoulder" drum mic placement, but it seemed to work well. Excellent post. Thanks. It shouldn't be the gear that limits us now-a-days, only the creative energy and talent. : )
Man, I'm your fan! You made a video about 8 inputs, and other with 1 mic (wich is awesome). Could you make one using 2 inputs? That's what I have here and most people in bedrooms too, I guess. I know I can do one thing at a time, but I want to take advantage of the 2 inputs and learn tricks on it. Thanks
i love your filosophy; being on a budget dosent means you can make great work. I supose its all matter of dedication, and taking things seriouslly. THANKS, ITS WAS VERY, VERY, HELPFULL
