The kid's are awesome, they were there to have the time of their lives. It wasn't about re-creating anything 100%, it was about getting as close as one can with what they have to the experience and sound, and most of all, HAVING FUN! Who cares about the pin point accuracy of the sound between the kids and the original, you can never replace the original, no on is disputing any of this, they were there to have a wonderful recording experience, and at their age that is the main goal. And they sure had an awesome time, thanks to Warren and Sunset Sound. These kids are amazing, and so is the whole production team - I am grateful to the kids and the enitre production team involved who spent goodness knows how many hours putting this together for all of us to watch FOR FREE. Thanks kids and and thanks to all the team who made this happen!
It makes me feel warm when Warren speaks with the kids and i see the passion for the music in there. And its not the usual passion he has. Its something different when you speak directly to people and not the camera. hastag Music is lif
Hi Mihkel Maidla thanks ever so much! I really appreciate that extremely kind comment! I'm a Dad! This stuff is important!! Have a marvelous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
Hi Nik, thanks ever so much for that! Yes, indeed! I had this idea to help these kids because I'm close with Sunset Sound where Van Halen recorded this album! It took a huge amount of time and energy (personal expense as well) but it was worth it! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
@@Producelikeapro Good on you. Those kids can really play and deserved that learning opportunity. So for people like yourself, that engineer and the teacher to go out of you way - and your own pocket - to make it happen, that's a really wonderful thing. 🍻🙏👊💯
Wow this is the most amazing thing i have seen yet, the actual paper notes on set up. 24 track 30ips mix down to 2 track studer 15 ips not to mention mic setup and track layout I'm in heaven :)
The young lady singing " Atomic Punk " almost sounds like Getty Lee from Rush ! Very good job to the kids playing and Kudos to you Warren and your crew for putting together the video, well done! Always enjoy your channel and keep up the good work!🤘🏾😎😊
Thanks very much Sean! Yes, the kids did an amazing job! This was all done in one day! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren!
Your awesome Warren - These kids are going to remember this experience for the rest of their lives...So much talent!....Such a great way to pay tribute to the past....These videos are going to be such a treasure trove to people in the future after the console, Sunset Sound and all of us are long gone.....Good job!
You're an inspiration Warren - it's great to work with your passion and bring the younger generation into it. I know as much as anyone how work - no matter how wonderfull can have it's off days - yet we never see this with you. Those kids must have been in heaven!
I've come to the conclusion that if I could afford your services you would be the guy. You look very easy to work with as well as a wealth of musical knowledge and taste. These kids are very very fortunate to have you in the room. Oh, that guitar timing on Atomic Punk is just stellar! These kids are AWESOME!!
Aw shucks that is extremely kind of you Tisbonus!! I was so happy to be able to work with the kids! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Very special video. Warren always presents himself as such a generous person. How can one not appreciate free vids like this? Jeff, the house engineer was also kind sharing his time and knowledge. I'm grateful. Thank you.
Thanks very much Elias! I really appreciate your extremely kind words! Yes, Geoff was very generous with both his time and knowledge!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
@@Producelikeapro Wow, very cool indeed. Thank you for replying, I know what you guys are doing is appreciated by people all over the world who are still captivated by the sound from those early VH records. Thank you for peeling back some of that onion skin 😁
Thanks ever so much Tim! Yes Ed was very private and we didn’t talk about his support at the time! I got to ask him how he did things, although honestly I don’t believe he remembered everything! Which is understandable as he had made so many amazing recordings!!
i met ed at an LA party ...if i could give him anything once it would be let him come back for 24 hours and listen to people copy his music in the year 2073 which would be a century from the time VH decided to formally form! he could invite his brother as well!
Great advice about not recording guitars with a lot of volume in the headphones ... definitely takes away an aggressive performance ... been there/done that.
I see a lot of people are doing a detailed analysis of the sound/performance, etc. but for me, just watching the whole video, seeing what was used to record that first iconic album, and watching the kids pretty much nail it, including the girl's vocals, because she has the chops, it was awesome. Forget the details of comparing it to the original recording. Even Van Halen didn't nail it the same way live. That's what's great about music. Overall, well done! Loved it!
Warren, been enjoying your videos for a while now, and this is awesome. Giving those kids an chance to record at place like that is really cool. I'm living up in Seattle and I remember the first time I got to record in the London Bridge Studio I was completely floored. Great work!
You're very welcome Patrick!! Yes, I feel so lucky to be able to do this! I was really excited to do this and the kids did an amazing job!! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
This entire video is just great! How cool for all the people involved to give this opportunity to the kids and give them something to remember for the rest of their lives. Great job to everyone! The band was really, really ON FIRE too!
One thing that may be off- In live VH recordings from the club days, you will hear the car horns here and there, operated by a foot switch. I think they had taken a few and hooked them up together, just as a silly thing to have onstage. These may have been housed in a deactivated WW2 Bomb they had onstage (I'm serious. There are pics of Edward, in a club, next to a bomb) but I am not sure.
What an experience for these talented young ones and something that they surely will never forget. As a matter of fact some of the older folks, too. Warren that was a fantastic idea and thanks for producing this.
This is so AWESOME!! I love it! Just one tidbit; The date at the top of the "studio notes" is 12/78. The first album was recorded from 8/77-9/77 and the second album was recorded from 12/78-1/79. Based on the date on those "notes," I'd say that sheet is for the second album.
Not only that, but the notes also say "546" (Shure Unidyne III) for the top and bottom of the snare, as well as the bass drum. The guy in this video is saying they used SM57 for that, which isn't altogether true because the 546 isn't the same as a modern SM57.
This was just totally awesome. These kids are amazing, all of them (just watched the other clips too). Great vocals, totally wonderful guitar, great drumming and steady cool bass. Great job, loved to see this! ✌🏼✊🏼
Your best video ever! I believe you have the tracks sheet for VH 2. The date on the track sheet is 12/78. Van Halen 1 came out Feb. 1978. Van Halen 2 came out early 1979. I'm sure that track sheet is for the second album. I don't think they used bottom tom microphones either. From the sketch it looks Alex had 3 rack toms in a triangular pattern with 2 microphones to pick up the signal. Thanks again for sharing this great video.👍
Aw shucks thanks ever so much Greg! Yes, as I explained these are the track sheets from Van Halen 2! The track sheet is available to see on FaceBook and at Produce Like A Pro! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
This is fantastic! I like all the videos about this project. Thanks for pulling all this together and giving us some insight on how the original recordings where done. Fascinating stuff! Would love to see this become a regular segment. More classic albums, more super talented young folks rock'n out playing the oldies. Lots of work but it's so cool. Thanks to everyone involved. Rock on!
What a great experience this must have been for everyone involved, especially the kids! You guys really took me back to my youth. Thanks for doing this.
Saw the video of the finished song a few days ago.......loved it, so glad you are doing a follow up video about the session.......keep up the great work!!
I love the fact that any of those mics could be the same ones that were originally used. I haven't really listen to Van Halen but now I'm going to have to listen to all their albums to hear the tones you're talking about
Wait a sec this video has been out for over a year?... There is millions if not billions of Van Halen fans. There should be way more subscribers to this and views. Sometimes RUclips really screws up with the way they do their algorithms.
I've been smiling throughout this, what an excellent project, thank you for sharing this! History, tech, and the enthusiasm that we all feel live or in the studio, just all-around super!
Hell yeah! Hate to sound like a caveman on a rampage, but this was an awesome and inspiring video on many different levels. Lends brand new respect for the mighty SM57 microphone and shows that there is still room for rock music to thrive on this planet. The fact that the kids got an amazing rock education and playing experience is exactly the thing which will save our music. They will remember this forever. That's for sure. This needs to happen 1000x over all over the world. You can never have too much good. Thanks
Fantastic video. Great info about the set up and the kids did a great job at the end. Very coherent playing with no click. Shows they practiced, know the material and have the skills. If only all groups came into the studio so prepared! :-D
Awesome project, thanks so much for doing this. It's a gift to see that iconic studio and getting to know all these stories and tricks about the recordings of such epic albums. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent way to close out the video! My favorite Van Halen tune!! Great video as always. I'm thrilled to see so much talent in such the next generation of musicians!
flipping brilliant.... singers got a great voice! loved the drummer playing "goofy" on a right handed kit... might have to buy this album.... greaat stuff. wozza! great fun and really interesting.
Aw shucks thanks ever so much Gra! You Rock my friend! We just offer the tracks on the site for free to view. They did the who;e recording in one day! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren!
Thanx, I had heard of "goofy" for surfing and skateboarding, but never for playing drums open style - but I like it! I play open style because I'm a lefty and learned on a righty kit! Rock on!
This is great! Love that the drummer is wearing a Van Halen shirt :D I wonder what Van Halen thinks of this project. I think it's a big honor for them!
Nicolette Larson was recording her debut album in another studio room down the hall at the very same time VH was doing their recording. Interestingly Ed was asked to put a solo on Nicolette's song Can't Get Away From You. He brought his Plexi with him to Nicolette's studio room where he cut the solo for it. Sounds nothing like his tone on VH#1 but the brown sound is still there.
Oddly enough, when I was in college, (music comp and tech) I did an album where I used an SM58 on the kick, just messing around, and it is to this day one of my favorite kick drum sounds I've ever gotten.
You would think the bottom head would "sound" higher / brighter, but the sustain (or resonance) is actually quite low-pitched (at least, or especially, compared to the attack of the stick on the batter head). Do keep in mind there's a several-inch-tall column of air between the top head and the bottom head, and air is compressible, plus there's the little vent hole as well.
Thanks for all of your awesome work with PLAP and Pro Mix Academy! I've been doing live sound for nine years, and now I'm doing mixing and mastering as well. Your videos and recordings have all been extremely helpful! I'm hoping you will release another "Top Free Plugins" video. The last one was extremely helpful! You are the best! Hopefully some day I will get to meet you.
Look at all these little kids takin’ care of the music biz.
I love the drummer's feel. What a natural player. Well done, young man!
Thank you very much! I appreciate that!
Just needs to hit harder..
Drummer's the real MVP in this session.

Hi Sins Of The Sister aw shucks thanks very much!! We are all about giving back! Have a marvelous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
I would pay to see those kids perform. The energy is wow.
Agreed! Amazing!
I’m pretty sure seeing and hearing these kids play this would put a GIANT smile on EVH’s face : )

OMG The Atomic punk WOW! the guitar,drums,bass, vocal its all phenomenal n bloody well done.
Woah, lots of 57's. It's very sweet to watch the whole recording setup, I was blown away. Loved the voice of the girl and the whole performance!

The bomb had a rack delay unit Eddie used for Eruption. I think the car horns were on a piece of plywood, but not sure.
@@chasebeavers I think you are right. I have since seen photos of the bomb, and it had some kind of echo in it.
no the horns were on a piece of plywood on the floor. eddie had his roland space echo in the bomb casing you can see it in photos.
Man, I am VERY IMPRESSED w these kids! Kudos to all of them, but I REALLY love seeing a young lady crushing Ed's leads!
What an experience for these talented young ones and something that they surely will never forget. As a matter of fact some of the older folks, too.

@@ShadovvV They probably didn't have any 546's by the time this video was made,they were budget versions or pre dated versions of known Shure mics.
No words...this is simply outstanding in every way...THANK YOU!!

Some things are informative. Some things are fun. This was definitely BOTH! The kids sounded amazing - so good on 'em!
Do a rundown of how the girls vocals set up, gear used. She sounded fabulous. I purchased the Sunset Reverb and absolutely love it.
Hell yeah!
Hate to sound like a caveman on a rampage, but this was an awesome and inspiring video on many different levels. Lends brand new respect for the mighty SM57 microphone and shows that there is still room for rock music to thrive on this planet.

One of my good friends from the army worked there in the later 80’s. We were in a band together and I lost track of him. Garth, I miss you, buddy.
Nicolette Larson was recording her debut album in another studio room down the hall at the very same time VH was doing their recording. Interestingly Ed was asked to put a solo on Nicolette's song Can't Get Away From You. He brought his Plexi with him to Nicolette's studio room where he cut the solo for it. Sounds nothing like his tone on VH#1 but the brown sound is still there.
That must have been during Women And Children First because she sang one harmony line in "Could This Be Magic".
Wow! Thanks for this detailed overview of the recording process Warren!
Hi Harmony Studios aw shucks thanks ever so much! The kids did amazing! Have a marvelous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
Yes, the kids did amazingly well MorbidManMusic! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
These kids have got the stuff !
Brilliant video mate, thanks so much for doing this.
I had to use sm57 in a recording once because there was no kick mic. That was the one of my best kick sound I ever caught.
This is great, I'm incredibly curious now and want to try recording a kick drum with 2 57's. Great stuff as usually Warren!
... And yet, Warren's mix ended up with an incredibly "tubby" (read: punch-less / attack-less) kick, for whatever reason :P
I know it's crazy to think that they used these inexpensive mics Matt! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Oddly enough, when I was in college, (music comp and tech) I did an album where I used an SM58 on the kick, just messing around, and it is to this day one of my favorite kick drum sounds I've ever gotten.
I just thought, SM57's must work great for the resonant head on the toms. Usually, the bottom head is tighter with heaps of ring and tone.....hhhmmmm?
You would think the bottom head would "sound" higher / brighter, but the sustain (or resonance) is actually quite low-pitched (at least, or especially, compared to the attack of the stick on the batter head).
Do keep in mind there's a several-inch-tall column of air between the top head and the bottom head, and air is compressible, plus there's the little vent hole as well.
Pretty cool, nice to see kid’s with talent

I've been doing live sound for nine years, and now I'm doing mixing and mastering as well. Your videos and recordings have all been extremely helpful!
I'm hoping you will release another "Top Free Plugins" video.
The last one was extremely helpful!
You are the best! Hopefully some day I will get to meet you.
