the 545 unidynes came with transformers however there are versions that came without transformers! i removed the transofmer for one on my top snare and one with a transformer on my guitar cab at all times and it basically lives there (its like removing a blanket off of an sm57, way more detailed in my opinion). .
Just tried this as well. Can confirm it is true. You can still hear it a tad, probably because the analog processing isn't 100% precise. Just bouncing the mono track to an additional tape track would likely introduce some minor distortion that would keep the two tracks being identical.
Hi there, can anyone explain me this wide guitar trick from around 7:50 time please? i dont get it, i have two takes of the same guitar part and each of them has two mics. One of the mic from the first take is panned left, second mic right, than second take two mics are panned in the middle (or made the mono) and than swith phase on one of the mics? or on the whole second take? .. than what?? please help
You leave the 2 panned center alone, but flip one of the wide panned mics out of phase from the other to help create more width in a stereo mix. When listening in mono the wide guitar will disappear, but the other center penned will still be there
I got the rolling stones song on tidal, master quality. I listened on my phone speaker which is mono and can hear the piano still clearly. Maybe from the vocal mike?
"Best piano record; Mono piano on two channels, flipped phase." Wow, that's pretty impressive. I'm assuming one of the channels is getting phase flipped.
Audio for video is hard, because it's like 90% of video. You really want close miking but you don't want to see them they could have done way better though. Is probably just an off-the-cuff recording. It's also hard if your talent is moving around and you're not booming.

That guitar phasing trick is crazy. It's basically mid-side mixing on doubled tracks. Crazy
Older video but still really good, Vance Powell knows his stuff.
Thanks for emailing me back Vance - your answers to my questions were very helpful ! Your awesome - keep up the good work

this guy would never need a pop filter
Basically my favorite dude ever in record making
This is a goldmine of information thanks guys!
👍
Completely loved this video. I'll watch it several times until I can catch and dig everything he says...
He's amazing, love his work....and the beard!
I've been opting for mono drums (or near mono) for a while now and prefer it. And this was after years of being super pan-happy with everything. YLYL.
👍🏻
I just love when he explains shit
I just checked the Rolling Stones track and the piano really complete disappears in mono !
there is still a little bit of lower mids present, maybe to beef up the bass and also give a hint of the harmony

@@emmakessler3081 thank you
Love the Transformerless57's. When I swapped in my Crimson Audio White handle, it changed the game! E GTR and Snare never sounded so good!

The best tip ever and it's not notated at 11:45. Somebody wrapped my cable around an arm!!!
😂
need more people to be taking notes
Just checked Sympathy for the Devil. That's true!
"Best piano record; Mono piano on two channels, flipped phase."
Wow, that's pretty impressive. I'm assuming one of the channels is getting phase flipped.
I'm thinking no because then he said that they cancel each other out when you sum it
Yes, flipped. Otherwise no point as it would be doing what a pan knob set to the middle does in mono.
Audio Voodoo, smiling!
Good ole 9k at Ex'pression! Hope everybody is doing well.

Why does he "really don't like pads" on preamps ?
Because they are added circuitry in your signal path.
The audio quality in this video is appalling Lol....
That lady's pissed.
how about MS...... two of the best...blumin........
👍🏻
Irony : a badly mic'd episode on Advanced microphone technique ! ....camera mic ?
How does an audio company record such bad audio for this video?
Audio for video is hard, because it's like 90% of video. You really want close miking but you don't want to see them they could have done way better though. Is probably just an off-the-cuff recording. It's also hard if your talent is moving around and you're not booming.
How about showing the mics instead of just talking about them?
John Wehmeyer he’s talking about technique. It’s not a gear porn vid man.
The song snippet at the end. The vox are mangled. Can't understand a word he says. This style must end.
Damn.. Who were some of the old farts in the audience?
nemonucliosis Vance....is an old fart. Is that what you mean....
he speaks as funny as he looks.. too bad for such a great Audio Company...
Ignacio Garza if you guys shut up for a band you can come Sioux Falls and put one on at my house
