The secret is officially out lol! I got the bad snacks technique down pretty good by now. The only tricky part is to get the lead violin parts to line up and also watch when the loop repeats to be more in time. Also got my Lewitt 440 mic. Thank you thank you!
Such a gorgeous instrument. I once picked up a violin and it audibly screamed, then jumped out of my hands and exploded in flames. So I can kind of see the mountain of insane skill that must be required to make it look so effortless. Very cool, very inspiring.
there is nothing like real strings (or other acoustic instruments). easily doubles my emotional reaction to a track... love your vibes.. I think the new comping in live 11 is exactly made for artists like you :-) saves so much clickwork :-)
I just wanted to let you know that after watching your video I tried your method and I made the first recording of myself on the violin that I actually like! Thank you so much for making such an insightful and easy-to-follow video that does not spare any detail. I've been playing the violin for a long time and recording it has frustrated me to no end, so this was really really helpful! Thanks so much!
Well I don’t play violin. Yes I will be practicing this message to see if I can get better sounding acoustic guitar, Since I pretty much use my guitar on almost every instrumental I compose. Appreciate your awesome tips, Been following and learning techniques from you here and there since 2017 ish. Keep shining
I am so going to try this technique. It sounds great, rich, without any unpleasant phase or chorus FX. I record my own cello parts but it is in no way my main instrument. This will help me not run out of the studio when my soloed parts play back through the monitors. I am going to try it with Eventide Blackhole just for laughs! Really creative and interesting harmonic choices BTW! Thank you for this brilliant demo!
This is so cool! Most violin channels I’ve found are metal/hard rock violinist who scoop a lot of mids. They’re great, but this is a breathe of fresh air. Great video!
A lot of those in the list were live performances so a playlist wouldn’t work, but Lizzy McAlpine’s “Give Me A Minute” and Tank’s “Happy Town” are readily available on Spotify!
Greetings from Belgium, yesterday I recorded for the first time Violin and due to your tips it was a good session! So thanks! Another thing I picked up is that looping and duplicating, before I change track and arm again..etc.. so easy when your alone recording voice, bass, ... so awesome! Just wanted to let you know! Peace and Love
Great vid, very insightful (moreso for those recording live instruments) Love that track though, looking forward to your next release! And haha bonus points on the ending!
I came here to learn some string recording techniques, and accidentally found a great musician while doing so. If you are here, make sure to check out the rest of her channel, her music is great.
Hey! Thanks for posting this - it's super helpful for my specific needs. I just found your channel from this particular video because I'm getting back into recording (I used to tour and record a lot, then went hard classical for more than a decade) and I'm trying to figure out how to do the things you do, essentially. I took audio engineering in college, but if you have other recommendations for what I might watch/listen to (of yours or anyone else's) I'd be so appreciative. Thanks again!! Looking forward to watching more of your content!
I think of recording tech in relation to art supplies. The audio interface/DAW is your canvas (mega cheese), the source you’re recording is the paintbrush, the mics are your primary colors, and your external preamps and other outboard gear are the color blends and other shades you have at your disposal to sculpt your sounds. I hope that made sense cause thinking about it it can sound kind of confusing
Great video! 👍🏾 This vid will be a big help in how to record my Ocarina, which I’ve been learning how to play since early summer. I will give this a try with my Tascam Model 16/Tascam Condenser Mic/iPad (using AUM app and Pre Amp app). Thank you 🙏🏾
Inspirational. I bought a multi-effect pedal for recording my trombone that i haven’t played in years-and i bought an Arban’s (brass version of Hanon) to work on getting back into shape first.
Sounds good. The string writing was really quite moving. Tempting to think of it being expanded greatly into a piece for full string orchestra. Cheers and luck.
Hey there Bad Snacks! Just want to say I think you are a great musician and producer. I really enjoy listening to and learning tips and tricks from your videos. I would love to see you perform IRL some day!
4:33 absolutely! It's too easy to get into the habit of editing instead of doing good takes. Not only is it less efficient but it degrades playing skills. If it takes a couple of sessions it's good practice and next time will be easier. I learnt this lesson the hard way!
Sounds great thank you so much for the tips! The looping and layering each harmony 3 times or so was super enlightening going to try it on my next track!
Awesome video! I recently switched to Ableton as my primary DAW and I love your combination of acoustic instruments with heavy sound design, it's great!
Awesome vid!! Love the stereo panning idea using the loops. Brilliant...and SOOOO LUSH. Gonna try this with acoustic guitar and other acoustic instruments.
Even though I don’t play violin, there’s a lot of useful info here even for recording brass. Thanks.
The most underrated musician ever. Love your music👍
Carnatic music is more underrated 😀
@@SanathKumarNaibhi yessir
IDK Yanni is pretty underrated and dope.
I am friends with at least 37218391 more underrated producers than I am but I appreciate the sentiment
@@badsnacks You’re a so kind and humble person. I do love your personality.
Makes me wish I'd kept playing cello hahaha. If only my grandma would loan me her super sick Stradivarius.....
XD
put it in her will
Yeah keep dreaming Trey, keep dreaming...
My violin is totally a real Gagliano, I'll sell it to you for just $3k ;))
I realize Im kinda off topic but does anybody know a good website to watch new series online ?
This looped 3 layer recording of the instrument is such a cool fast way to do it. I'll definitely be using this tip for some guitar recording.
Noob people have been doing this with guitars for decades....
@@ap7390 good talk

I love all your music!
The sound of the violin is so lovely and comfortable to hear ♥
Your strings make us strong. Thank you for your music.
Great video! Just great
This is HUGE!!! You're workflow and technique is super helpful for me - a college aspiring violin player and producer. Thank you!
Love how you layed out this video it was easy to follow and awesome to get a glimpse into your iconic string production
So that's how you get all of that rich beautiful sound from your violin. Your string production is always so pretty. Love the hair too btw!

your overdubbing recording technique feels like a no brainer but i just never thought to do it. thanks a ton!
i'm so glad you mentioned about the struggle with playing with less vibrato so it would gel loll my struggle rn
Those violins have such a great vibe, like floating down a lazy river in the sun.
When the drums dropped so did my jaws because I didn't expect that type of drum pattern 😮. That was Hard AF!!! 💪🏿💪🏿 THIS BEAUTIFUL❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️!!!!
It was better without drums. 😁
Wowww never have I seen such a clean acoustic violin recording session on YT!! Thanks a ton for posting this!! 🤩🤩😍
That beat is dope. Nice to watch your work flow. Very interesting and knowledgeable thanks for sharing.
Thanks for giving me a sincere panning breakthrough
Will see how some of these techniques work out for me as a flute player, thanks for another great vid!
As a violinist this is very helpful!
Smooth you play the violin? Pls share on the discord :)
My god that beat sounded amazing. Now we know the secret source 👏🏾

Here I thought your processing chain for such rich acoustic violin textures would be this massive chain, but it was surprisingly simple. Nice!
Keepin it simple is the only way I maintain my sanity lol
I came here expecting to see how you record your violin, and ended watching how you produce a song. Nice!
thats such a smooth workflow, i feel so dumb recording in ableton now

thanks for all the pointers here and the Charlie Daniels at the end was perfect!
Sounds great! Thanks for sharing.
Chapeau! I love your Beats/Music! Rock on
that violin recording technique is sick! definitely gonna steal that
also, nice beat! love the groove and the chords you chose :)
thank you for these videos. they are really informative and well done. I thoroughly 2nd the purchase of used gear.
Just bought my first mic. Gonna start recording violin, thanks for these tips :D
we need a playlist of songs you played strings on!!
A lot of those in the list were live performances so a playlist wouldn’t work, but Lizzy McAlpine’s “Give Me A Minute” and Tank’s “Happy Town” are readily available on Spotify!
@@badsnacks omg how did i not realize that was you on give me a minute, that's so cool
That melody is so beautiful. I love strings
just came back for a quick 30 second reference but ended up watching the whole video cuz its just so darn good and digestible!

super cool video..love it I do the same thing for a living this video felt so personal...Thx!
Every single time I watch one of your videos I pick up a new Ableton trick or technique. Thank you so much for the inspiration!
Beautiful! You and your music 🎶
Very clever!--- makes you sound like a full concert!!! great tips for those watching!!!
Loved seeing this whole process! I’m looking to getting into producing more this coming year and I found this really helpful
I'm feeling that beat.
Very informative. Thank you very much ❤
This was fun! thanks for the recommendation RUclips 👌🏼
That sound is pure love 😍. Much respect on the beautiful sound design as always.
Oh whoa. Sick progression & lovely strings sound
This was very interesting and super helpful!
Great tips & amazing video!
Great vid, very insightful (moreso for those recording live instruments) Love that track though, looking forward to your next release! And haha bonus points on the ending!

loved it. cool workflow trick too
Wow, how far we've come since the days of Mtv's music generator on PS1. Nice! (Could've used a woo but I digress) lol
That was siiiiiiick, the ending beat sounded so dope! Thanks for sharing your recording techniques!
That overdubbing technique is really nice, thanks for sharing
Omg! Your hair is soooo cute! I love bangs 🥰
Sounds good. The string writing was really quite moving. Tempting to think of it being expanded greatly into a piece for full string orchestra. Cheers and luck.
This is absolutely beautiful and inspirational ♥️
the bang looks so cute on u. video's amazing as usual!

Good for you. This is a great video full of creativity and a clear passion for what you do. Pure smile juice. Thank you
lovely workflow explanation and such a gorgeous recording!
Holy shit you're insanely good, I don't play any instruments but the whole duplicating and panning thing is really good for my music too, thanks a lot
Awesome video! I recently switched to Ableton as my primary DAW and I love your combination of acoustic instruments with heavy sound design, it's great!
Your strings harmony and new hairstyle are so beautiful!
So, so good. Thanks for sharing your process!

New Lesson I Learned Thanks Bad Snacks
Damnnnnnnn didn’t expect the beat to go that hard! I’m definitely going to try out these techniques!
this was awesome, love hearing your process
