WHO ARE THEY - THE WARNING - DISCIPLE - Audio Engineer Reacts 

As someone who’s seen them live a few times I can tell you nothing at all is missing.

All natural voice ! You can keep your voice affects and auto tune , real voice real singing no gimmick!

Nothing from that concert will be blocked. They released the entire concert today. All of the tracks have been released as single videos. Pick any they are all good. Personally, i find the vocal work just right from all of them.

The best up and coming rock band on the scene now in my opinion. These 3 sisters from Mexico know how to rock in multiple languages. "You have been Warned".

Welcome to the wonderful world of The Warning! The Villarreal sisters from Monterrey Mexico are Daniela "Dany" current age 23 (guitar, piano, lead and backing vocals), Paulina "Pau" 21 (drums, piano, lead and backing vocals), and Alejandra "Ale" 18 (bass, piano, backing vocals). They got their first big break when their cover of Enter Sandman went viral in 2014. They currently have close to 50 (and counting) original songs that they have written and composed over 3 albums and an LP. There is just simply not a single bad song in their catalog even at this young age. Their fans "The Warning Army" (TWA) are very loyal and passionate so I'm sure you'll be hearing from a number of them. I will keep this short and leave the rest of the bio info and recommendations to the others as they stop by.

Best power trio in the world! Period!

Well, when one person sings ... it sounds like one person singing... 🤷‍♂️

Welcome to the warning !! Daniela "Dany" 23 guitar lead singer, Piano Paulina "Pau" 21 Drums, lead singer (about 10 songs), Backing vocals, Piano Alejandra "Ale" 18 Bass, backing vocals, Piano Welcome to the rabbit hole of the warning 3 sisters from Monterrey, Mexico They studied in a bilingual school (the liceo ! They played a very famous concert there when they are very young) Trained from a young age in classical piano they founded the group in 2013 due to the game musical 'the rock-band' They will be noticed in 2014 following the release on RU-vid of the song Enter sandman of Metallica (originally intended for their grandparents to see their progress !! ) They have released 3 albums ( 2 independent XXI st century blood in 2017 and Queen of the Murder Scene, concept album in 2018) They signed with Lava/Republic records mid-2020, following a negotiation of 7 months. They record the album Error mid pandemic it released in 2022 They have released also 2 LP Escape the Mind in 2015 (Their first own songs) and Mayday in 2021 who prefigures Error They have over 100 gigs last year (and have opened for the foo Fighters, and Gun''s and roses) and have opened for Muse ( 9 times in total Mexico and Europe) in 2023 during their world tour in the Us, uk, France, Germany, The Netherlands... and they'll play in the USA, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Colombia...later in this year and again open for Gun's and Roses 2 times in September in the USA You've been Warned !!!!

These are pro-shot videos for the Teatro Metropolitan performance(s). The vocals were most likely taken direct from the sound board, and whatever echo you hear was most likely added in during post-processing. They kept it fairly low I think, to keep the lyrics crisp and understandable, which is a big thing for these gals, since they tend to enunciate their English.😄 This is one of my favorite tracks on the Error album, and if you haven't seen it yet, you should check out the Official music video for Disciple! The production value is off the charts!😉👍👍

They have been in the business for 10 years and know exactly what they are doing. They are not missing anything and I don't think you are in the position to say otherwise.

The Villarreal Sisters are from Monterrey Mexico, they Speak Perfect English and it's their Second language, their Parents sent them to a Private Catholic School in their hometown where all their Classes were in English and they watched a lot of American TV and Movies and Listened to a Lot of Rock Music in English.

they have been playing for 10 years, yes they were children when got noticed, Metalica noticed them after they did a cover of enter sandman, they were invited to the Ellen Show where they were given those giants checks for $10,000 each to go to Berklee music school

They have spent over ten years learning and improving their skills, range and performances. They are eager to learn and have studied some of the best including Halestorm, Muse and Metallica plus many others. They have also opened for Halestorm, Muse and Three Days Grace, Foo Foghters, Def Leppard and Guns'n'Roses and I bet they paid very close attention to how those groups ran their show and how they performed. These three Mexican sisters were already very skilled when they released their first two albums which are epically good btw, but over the last 5 years they have really honed their talents. Dany's voice, has increased so much in range and power. Pau on drums has also improved her voice and her drumming, making it tighter and more efficient. And as for Ale, well she's always been good, the thunder goddess herself, her timing is impeccable and the bass lines she delivers blow you away, she's also worked a lot on her voice, and while she has sung lead a few times she does not like to do so unless Dany needs a break or is ill. For me they are the best band I've heard in decades, but that's just my opinion and I'm heavily biased. The Warning have been completely fan driven from the start, they understand how much reaction and analysis channels have led to their success, so their live performance will almost certainly never be blocked, their official music videos however can sometime be blocked by the distributor, despite being told not to. Their XXI Century Blood Official music video will not however be blocked at all, they released that as independent artists and it was entirely fan funded, so have at it.

Put your helmet on for the wave 🌊 ⚡️ You have been warned ⚡️

Never seen someone have to stop the video so much, every 10 to 15 seconds through out the entire video, because of the copyright thing. Maybe once or twice they do. You stopped it so many times, it made it hard and difficult to actually follow the song. Usually when someone stops the video to react and analyze, they go back 10 seconds to replay what they were just reacting to so you can go along with what they're saying. And they don't do it soooooo much that it messes up the video. And like everyone said above, these videos won't get you for the copyright. Other than that, you at least pointed out a few good things.

you're the only one I ever heard say that The Warning was lacking anything, including big musicians!

Sometimes a piano or a second guitar appears out of nowhere. Sometimes they are missing another band member. They don't need anyone else for songwriting and that's why the three of them stay. The interplay also works outside of the music. If they have to announce the magazine at the beginning of an interview, it sounds and moves like identical twins. They only have to look at each other on stage and everyone knows when the action is. Another band member would be a disruptive factor. Every song of this concert is good. Tiny Warnings from 9-14 where they have been playing together for 2 years: Enter Sandman - METALLICA Cover - The Warning

Lalo Plaza would love to have a word with you.

They are from Mexico, primarily write their songs in English, and have also used bits of French and Japanese in their music.

She has been known to use kick drum mikes on her floor toms.

A wonderful performance and i can't see how you could improve it much more than this ! Cheers man .

The most astonishing thing about The Warning is that they refuse to let engineers and editors fix their parts afterwards in their live concert footage. What they performed is what they performed. They know that their fans are all recording it on phone anyway, and that all goes viral... and they (generally) laugh off their own mistakes in live concerts and push on through. The vocal accuracy is amazing, considering they have been touring off and on for 2 years now, a show a night for several nights in a row at times.... so things happen. This is really what they sound like... tons of talent and TONS of hard work and also having been serious musicians from very young childhood, they started good learning habits and performing habits at children.

I think most of us want to hear their natural voices in a live setting verses a reprocessed version that sounds too much like the studio version of the song. TW sounds better live IMHO. Yes, they are in Mexico City (CDMX is the abbreviation for that) and they are from Monterrey, which is a large city in Nuevo Leon in northern Mexico a couple of hours from the Rio Grande River. They have been playing together professionally for over ten years. They started young, when Dany the guitarist was 14, Pau the drummer was 12, and Ale the bassist was 9.

Your comment about touching up individual vocals for fuller effect is a matter of personal preference. You need not stop so many times when reacting to The Warning. Their management is quite rational unlike other bands. Twice or thrice is enough. Pau's kick drum setup might fascinate you. One reactor, who used to be a drum tech., explained in detail how they got that sound out of her kicks. There is a long vlog where Dany explains her guitar & pedal setup including the technology, delays, overdrive, distortion, etc. Other sisters have shorter ones about their equipment setup as well. Similarly Pau held a masterclass at Soundcheck Xpo 2022 in Mexico City where she detailed out everything about Ableton Live using this song as an example. The band has been using technology for live shows since 2016 I think. In this concert exactly an year back the girls were 22 (Dany, guitarist), 20 (Pau, drummer) & 17 (Ale, bassist).

“Narcisista” was one of the greatest live performances I have ever seen. At home n Mexico City, it n front of thousands of rabid fans, the sisters performed their first song ever in Spanish, pau the drummer and lead songwriter, had her drum teacher take over her kit. Let her strut across the stage and work the crowd, who had memorized all the lyrics. Master class in singing. She’s a volatile performer, and this was her diss track against a Mexican reporter who dared criticize her and her beloved sisters, for singing almost exclusively in English. Referring to them as race traitors. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vJbRkFDetUA.htmlsi=WCqxTqibwlfuwrR_

Imo Dany's voice alone provides plenty of WOW factor!!! Her red guitar is a PRS USA Custom 24-08. Thanks for the reaction🤘

Great reaction! You'll be amazed by this band. I love The Warning ❤❤❤

"Z" From this same show. It has what you need. 🤘⚡🤘

I'm pretty sure the only vocals that are flown in during this entire show are the embellishments on Enter Sandman by Alessia Cara, with whom they recorded the studio version (remotely, since it was during Covid and Dani, Pau and Ale were in Mexico, while Alessia was in Canada, the producer was in California, and the mixing engineer was in New Jersey)! Dani uses a Kemper pedalboard and usually splits the signal into stereo, sending the basic signal to the left channel and a signal with a 10ms delay to the right. That's why it often sounds like two guitars and widens the soundstage. There ARE some triggered stems that augment a few songs (a clean guitar on the second verse of "Choke", piano in the coda of "Survive", etc.) but they can play (and have played) their entire set without those stems when the laptop Pau uses to trigger them has technical difficulties.

They recently released all the performances from this Teatro Metropolitan show on their RU-vid channel and all of them are 🔥. Daniela Villarreal (Dany) the guitarist and main vocalist is 23 years old and her main guitar is a PRS Custom 24-08. She does also have 2 backup Custom 24 guitars. She also recently was gifted a Gibson Explorer by Lzzy Hale for them opening for Halestorm and a custom mustard yellow Manson guitar gifted to her by Matt Bellamy of Muse, to thank them for opening for Muse in Mexico and the UK. For pedals she uses a Kamper Profiler. Another fun fact about her is that she plays with 3mm thick picks. Paulina Villarreal (Pau) the drummer and sometimes main vocalist/backup vocalist, is 21, plays DW and you are correct she does use Ableton Live for the click track, some backup tracks for rhythm guitar, keyboards and sound effects. She is the main composer for the band, as she usually starts the songs, but all 3 participate in the composition, arrangements, etc. Alejandra Villarreal (Ale) the bassist and backup vocals is 18 and plays her own signature model Spector 5-string bass, plays mostly finger style, but does also occasionally play with a pick. She has perfect pitch and Pau said that she has better timing the Pau herself. They are from Monterrey in Northern Mexico, near the Texas border and by them having all the same last name, you probably already figured out that they are sisters. They started on classical piano at a very young age and Dany & Ale also play the saxophone. They are a rarity because all 3 are involved in the guitar, bass and drums composition, which I think is why with 1 EP, 3 full albums and 2 singles, they do not have one bad song. As for the vocals being flat, I guess we will have to agree to disagree on that, as having watched live shows videos for 4 decades, to me this is one of the best audio mix I have ever heard.

CDMX is short for Cuidad de México, i.e. Mexico City. So yes, they are Mexicans playing in Mexico.

With The Warning videos. As far as I know the songs from this concert won’t get copyrighted. Basically all live stuff from them is safe. The only copyright stuff are the real videos from their album Error. Before that they were independent so you are safe.

thanks for checking out The Warning! I hope you will react to more of their music in the future They are a hard rock trio with a diverse catalog of music.

Interesting reaction from a relatively unique perspective compared to other YT reactors. What any of us would like to hear out of music is a matter of individual taste. In the case of this recording, I'm happy to leave it as is. I love Dany's voice, for example, and I'd be turned off by more noticeable reverb. I also love the clean sound a really good 3-piece band, like The Warning, can produce, although they seem to know when a 4th voice is needed for a particular arrangement and always do something about it. Looking forward to your next reaction! You seem intrigued by the EQ on Pau's lav, so maybe Dust to Dust from this same concert?

I enjoyed your reaction, specially the in depth technical analysis. I do however disagree on the 'reverb' opinion. This isn't a record, they wanted to capture the live sound using the live stems. Adding reverb would sound almost unnatural and because they're constantly singing as a group, it would sound artificial. Plus the reverb would bleed onto the other member's vocals and sound processed. Having heard them live a few times they sound phenomenal! Significantly better than they do on record. Watching them on a screen doesn't come close to watching them live, specially after you listen to other bands that same show.

If you want to see Pau (the drummer) in all her glory check out Dust to Dust live at Teatro Metropolitan

I've seen them 7 times in concert. Trust me, there's nothing missing in the mix. It's a wall of sound like nothing you have ever seen from any 3 piece band. Go see them live.

The bassist named Aleh has been with Specter since she was 13 and here in this video she's 17. She'll be 19 on December 14

I subbed for more The Warning!!!

These Ladies are the real deal. Don't over think it, sometimes you just need to enjoy music. Thanks for the reaction TWA ⚡🤘🔥

I have seen them a couple times live, there's nothing missing from any of their voices. Or any part of their show.

I appreciate the insight into how the laptop is used...new subscriber. 👍🏼🤘🏼

Good video! 👌🏼🇲🇽

Yes there are LEDs on the bass (red) and sometimes the guitar (blue, depending on the guitar she is playing). They have that sibling harmony thing (sibling voices tend to mesh well). There is of course a studio version of this song and a music video so you can compare versions.

It's hard to sing and drum together? Wait until you see their songs Narcissista and Dust to Dust...😊

You are an audio engineer. Your critique is still an opinion. Welcome, you did not criticize the talent. The power these three girls are generating is stupendous. Glad you appreciate

The Warning will not block your videos.

Great review! I hope the move goes well!

If you really want a shocker, check out their U-tube video, from 2014, when they were extremely young. They did a cover of Metallica's "Enter Sandman." You will fall off your chair when you realize just how far these very talented musicians have come.

The Warning songs are not copyright claimed. "Dust to Dust" would be a good one.

I prefer reactors that stop the video and (wait for it) react - so well done. I also prefer the video and audio to be in sync (specifically the content you are reacting to has the problem). Check your audio processing path in your setup (the audio seems to be leading the video - might need to add delay to the audio)

Welcome to The Warning. You should go back in time to 2014 and watch their cover of Enter Sandman then watch their new version of ES which is included on the Metallica Blacklist album. Watch the live version from Teatro Metropolitan.

Thank you for doing this! One of my holy trinity: The Warning, Band-Maid and Nightwish. Greetings from the Nightwishland a.k.a Finland 🇫🇮

The Warning has taken Rock to the next level , just Totally Awesome in every way !

🙋⚡⚡⚡🔥🔥🔥

These ladies are awesome live! Seen them twice and can't wait to see them again. 😁

for an "audio engineer" very poor editing skills ...

You are Been WARNED❤

Subbed for more, The Warning!!

They are amazing. My new favorite band. Also this concert is over 7,000 in elevation. Pretty impressive.

The Warning members' father, Luis Villarreal, had a music studio and studied to become an audio engineer in the United States. The group's first videos were posted by his father on his RU-vid channel.

For me, the way it sounds is more like 80's. What "is missing" for you is that it is not overproduced like much of the rock this days.

Welcome to one of the best rabbit holes out there!!!! 🤘😝🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Man you're really informative badass I enjoyed this reaction

You're the first reactor I've seen who's commented on Pau's Ableton rig! She has also controlled their visuals from her console at some shows. Their use of tracks when live is subtle and very well done. You usually don't notice them, the sound of the three of them alone is so fat. I have also noticed they tend to not use vocal effects much, live. They do on record. I definitely don't miss it. They do an amazing job with Pau's vocals, too, considering she is going ham while singing. Check out a track where she sings lead the whole time, like "Dust to Dust" or "Narcisista" ;)

DNA helps their voices mesh...they are sisters LOL. OH and the guitar and bass have LEDs built into them so they can see the marks in the dark.....there team is incredible.

Ale is the master of nasty, groovy lines.

I would also like to add that I appreciate reactors who pause and comment especially when it's on tech that I am not familiar with. When I want to see the video without stopping I simply go to the artist's channel.

Not quite sure what you'er talking about for processing her live voice.... she projects incredibly powerfully but has proper performance technique as a vocalist where she can still project while doing softer stuff.... I hear nothing missing... they are the only 3 piece I'm aware of with all 3 being such amazing instrumentalists AND vocalists AND songwriters and visual live performers... As an audio engineer myself I generally avoid adding something to a performance unless it's a break in sound (for effect, like delay feed), or to fix things (pitch, timing). I would never be able to do that with The Warning because (A) they wouldn't allow it LoL, and (B) there's no need to fix what isn't broken. I mean, obviously I'm skipping the given processing of compression, eq, gate, manual level adjusting and riding, and various reverbs etc... but that is just to encompass the live sound, not for effect, unless the effect was called for by the artist (that's why I'm trying to explain, poorly LoL). Cheers 🙂

Ale🎸Pau🥁Dany🎸 three mexican sisters !!!🎵ole ole ole ole Warning Warning🎵¡¡¡ Greetings from Argentina

Ale's base is a Spector 5 string, her signiture Inferno model with lighted frets

As others have said, there is nothing missing in their vocals. You must not be used to listening to absolutely beautiful singing voices. With The Warning, less is better !

Enjoyed the breakdown and analysis. Good Job.

The next legit super group

where you have Rock or Metal there is no autotune or other tuning involved. Where it is, it is not Rock and who listens to Rock or Metal hates it.

Been listening to their music for years nothing is missing. Pau,the drummer sings lead on songs along with Dany on guitar and on a few songs Ale on bass will sing lead during shows. They are from Mexico and also speak English very well!

Thank you for explaining what the computer was for I had heard the words but didn't quite know what they all meant

FYI, none of The Warning's live performances, either in concert, in session or in their home basement will not be blocked. Music videos after 2020 are likely to be. For the live ones feel free to pause if you have something to comment on but otherwise it’s not necessary.

Welcome to your new addiction you have been Warned 🤘 😎 ⚠️

I like your comments as the video plays. You bring some needed insight at the right time. I especially liked your pointing out the tracks board the drummer, Pau, has at her side, I often wondered how the fuller sound was achieved (I actually knew) but no other band review has ever pointed this out before. Keep up the interruptions during your reviews, If I didn't want any comments I can always view the same videos you review. Good job. This band will grow on you. Be warned.

Pau also triggers the video wall behind her through Ableton

♥ these girls!

You're gonna be getting a lot of text, A lot of input the people that follow the warning have been following sense back in 2014& 2015 These young ladies are 18, 21, At 23 they have been playing for over 10 years . I myself am 71 years old I grew up in the 60s and 70s had all the wonderful music but these girls are refreshing and they are like the real original rock and roll. They have a lot of great music that whole concert has been released now where you can play it all the way through if you want to. I hope you get into the rabbit hole like the rest of us these girls are saving rock and roll the way I see it⚡️⚡️⚡️🔥🔥🔥 Ps, They open for the Foo Fighters, Guns & Roses, And just came back from a tour in Europe with muse

Thanks for the reaction!⚡️

DISCIPLE : Uno de los mejores temas del album de Error ,un rock duro ,una voz energetica de Dany y el complentento de Pau La pasion y talento del rock de The Warning se aprecian en este tema,un excelente riff, Tremendo trio de Rock,temas poderosos y con excelentes mensajes no dejan de mostrar su grandeza , Disciple un tema que muestra el gran talento de TW

This was a great reaction. And B, I'll subscribe.

Locura!!!

excelente reacción, me suscribo esperando mas reacciones hacia tremenda banda de ROCK como lo son THE WARNING 🤘🤘⚡

Paulina sings while running on a treadmill to train for drumming and singing.

I'm not a big fan of heavy rock or metal, but I'm growing an appreciation of it just because of your channel. Keep it up Harmonic Chaos!

I've watched dozens of reactions to this performance of this song and you are the only one who's ever said anything is missing with the vocals.

They have opened for Muse, The Killers, The Foo Fighters, Halestorm and more so they think they are great. Nothing missing. Both Lzzy Hale and Matthew Bellamy gifted Danny with a guitar. That's how much they think of Dany and her sisters Paulina and Alejandra. Thanks for the reaction. Have good night.

Nothings missing. You must like over produced garbage. This is rock. Pure and honest.

Other The Warning songs that would be good to listen to: Every. Single. One. From the very start until just released. They are all that good.

Welcome to The Warning ! I will let others pick out songs for You.... for Me.... They do Not have a bad song. As far as sound goes.... It doesn't get any better than These Ladies and their remarkable team and crew.... If They are around You... I highly suggest get a ticket.... this video is from a larger venue... if you can still find Them in a "smaller one" .... DO IT ... Their sound will hit you like a freight train !!!!!....... powerful..... Clean.... and the backing tracks..... you can "barely" hear them (mostly a little piano, little guitar "go-alongs " that floorboards and fingers can not do because We only have 10 of them..... These Ladies are Forever Fantastic ..... Like I said... catch Them "small".... They are about to explode !!! Be lookin for Ya here .... Cheers !!

The drummer practices singing while running on a treadmill. 😉

thanks for your own personal opinion, maybe they can impress you down the road, thanks for sharing

Great Reaction...but as the tech you are, fix the audio vs video lag that you have :-)

There's nothing missing, lol. To each his own I guess. 👍

You just wait to see their other songs in their performance "Live at Teatro Metropólitan CDMX"... such as "Choke", "Money", "Dust to Dust", "Survive", "Animosity", "Evolve", "Martirio", "Narcisista", "Error", "Z", "When I'm Alone", "23", "Kool Aid Kids", "Amour", "Hunter", "Revenant"... Your head will blow you away with such musical quality, with such good hard rock that it corresponds to the 3rd. album released by TW. And then you must turn to their previous creation of theirs, which is a jewel, a masterpiece, their tremendous "concept-album" called "Queen Of The Murder Scene" and of course its live version is also better. Details of all this will show you as the rest of the TWArmy tell you in more detail about it. At the moment I subscribe to your channel because I hope to see many reactions from you to my favorite band of all time. Thanks and greetings from México!! 🇲🇽 🤘😁✌️
