I love how after one of Paul's lessons, the techniques he shows feel so simple. They probably took him years to figure out and fine-tune, and then he just hands all of the tricks to us for free, complete with a guide on how to use them.
It’s beautiful selfless isn’t it. He’s just a great guy tbh 😂
Tom buckovak is the same way, tim Pierce is too, Tyler Larson has great ideas, Rick beato has some handy information as well. RUclips is cool
@@joeb3590 I've never heard of Tom Buckovak, but all of the others that you mentioned are fantastic. The RUclips music community is so wholesome and willing to share their knowledge.
He's getting paid, just not directly by us...
You better have given Mr Cat a rub when he rushed the video….
He gets all the rubs he wants 🥰
Does your cat love music?some cats love music,like one of mine's @@PaulDavids
@@PaulDavids
Good man…👍🏼
Truly appreciate you showing these aspects of your workflow! Very inspiring! 👏👏👏
Honestly I love the sound of distorted close intervals
Paul can simplify the guitar like a magician! Thanks, Paul.
Thanks Paul. I would love to see more of your studio process.
Great video Paul and most excellent song!
What a beautiful track, Paul. Great video- love your channel.
Melhor canal sobre guitarra na Internet.
always makes my day when you drop a vid, thanks paul.
It’s so awesome to see your production/guitar methods on display! More of this content if you could, it’s very helpful :D
Gorgeous! This is so cool. Thanks very much Paul!
Nicely done! Thanks for your quality content!
Such an excellent video. Thank you Paul. That riff is awesome too.
Great video! Nice sounds. Thanks for the insight. Great to see MrCat again
It does sound incredible! i love the mellow space you created there!
At Step 3, when you pulled the tracks to left and right. It really gave me goosebumbs
Love those guitar sounds and the way they combine to make all those overtones! Very nice. Love your cat, too.
This solo reminds me so viscerally of a music box of my dad's and i absolutely love it!
I love the way the wanny bar sounds with a good warm reverb 🥹🥹🏄
Very atmospheric, great stuff! Cheers Dave
What a gorgeous track, wow. Those vocals with your guitar - just blissful. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and inspiring us on this journey with you.
step 1 already helped me already. the mellow sound!🔥 Thanks man I have a riff I love but it just wasn't sounding right, but these steps just took it to the next level! Paul is one a legend!🔥
What a GREAT video. This is so helpful.
Paul…just discovered your channel. As a Dutch expat in the US, keep it up, echt kwaliteit man!
i had to jump on spotify to listen to the whole thing, and it's beautiful. I hope you keep dropping pearls like this every now and then, both the great layering tip, as the song!
Lovet it. Great tips aswell!
When I listen to your videos with headphones it highlights how amazing your sound skills are.
I'd love to see more guitarist production stuff. I moved to Ableton about a year ago, and it took me months to get really good guitar sounds.
I needed this video just now
La suma de capas crea una conjunción genial, que unida al resto del tema genera una atmósfera hermosa. Gracias por compartir el tip 👍🏻
Oh wow, this was the definition of magic! Outstanding job Paul!!
Thanks for these tips! Awesome riff and overall sounding piece of music 😊
I love your videos so much!
I appreciate this video so much, you explains it simple and it works.
Beautiful work.
Lovely track, great tips👍👏
Great insight into recording this wonderful song!
Beautiful!
Jezus wat een lekker nummer op de zaterdag ochtend 👌🏻
Amazing info. As always you rock my friend
Thank you, Paul. Always inspiring and encouraging!
Paul, I've bought all your courses. And now I see grey in you beard! Welcome to the club! I remember your walk to the river where you played outside... cheers.
Cool song and great playing. Gorgeous 🎶
I am always so impressed with your creativity. You are a superlative artist. Keep doing what you do because you inspire a great number of others.
Beautiful music Paul. I h🎉ope that your musicianship becomes as recognized as your teaching abilities
Inspirational video, I really enjoyed it! I would love an instructional video of how to do the basics of recording. For me, I have to lower my main volume when recording music, or else I clip the limit. No matter what I do, I have to choose between clipping or having a low sounding song. Some beginner tips I’m sure would go a long way.
Agreed! Would love some beginner/foundational recording tips from Paul. In the meantime, for your issue, I believe the answer is compression! You can use a little during recording to prevent clipping if you like and then add more in the mix, but having a "low sounding song" is actually what you want with a dry recording. That way it maintains all the dynamic range and tone that can be manipulated to taste in post. I'm still a novice so take this with a grain of salt lol.
Excellent!!
beautiful thanks for sharing
Little producer trick, you can put an instance of Soothe2 on the inst bus in the mix, set it to sidechain mode, and trigger it with the guitar track. It'll carve out only the frequencies the guitar takes up in the mix and brings whatever track you want (in this case the guitar) forward in a way thats subtle to the ear but still powerful. I use this mainly for bringing vox more forward but would work beautifully for your guitar part here. This also allows you to use less gain + verb + other fx and lets you get closer to that original tone you fell in love with when writing. Hope this helps, and beautiful job!
And Soothe2 costs how much? ;)
@AlphaVlk Check out Wavesfactory Trackspacer for a more affordable plugin that does a similar technique (sidechaining input to carve out frequencies).
yes, soothe2 is amazing, it can do so much!
@@Barkosaur check out trackspacer
Absolutely hooked with the song but this interlude makes it all ❤
I love your channel and thanks to you I've grabbed my guitar again
I love everything about how you play to how you make music. ❤
the new track sounds amazing! it’s a vibe! and the tricks you’ve outlined in this video really make it shine!
Shine is the right word.
Gorgeous, I was wondering what I could add to my own stuff to bring the full magic of anything I wrote out, this showed it great. Thanks as always Paul 🙏
Thanks Paul I never thought of putting 4 Guitar sounds together to play the same notes. You are amazing. I know how I will record my next original song
Well done sounds awesome and huge 👍👍
Great video. I also love that orange guitar strap!
helpful thank you. Familiar to me working in Ableton.
Beautiful! Not much else to say. Just beautiful.
Awesome 😎🙌
I would love one of these tutorials for the ambient sounds in the track, everything sounds great
Step one : look like a sea captain from 1900.
Great explanation, now I understand why the Boss Oc5 octave and chorus pedals sound so good. Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing all this
Nice inspiration, thank you 😊
It's sounds amazing
Wauw it sounds awesome. Pure magic ❤
Thanks🤗💖
THANK YOU!
Finally a good way to use shimmer besides harmonics… thank you paul
Step one: be a pro level guitarist! Lovely video, some great production tips and beautiful end result!
killer tips and a great sounding song
Beautiful ❤❤❤
Really awesome, appreciate the ableton part very much
Cool, I knew all of these and use them all the time. Nice to see someone explain them to those that didn't though.
Stellar!
Wow!
This is the first time where I heard stereo amps and I really understood how I want to incorporate them in my sound. Thanks
By watching this amazing channel I went from "Gimme the tabs bro" to actually understanding what Mr. Paul is saying.❤
Great video - very tasteful and appropriate to the song; Always better with a cat cameo 😹 I love that Ziggy included him on the Learn Practice Play poster so he can accompany me in my jam room too =) Cheers 🎸🐈⬛☕
perfect for the stuff I' m working on
Just Sooo gorgeous, that Strat!! Can you tell us more about it??
Brazil HERE!!!
We def need a love button as well as a like button. Just wonderful.
Great track
Use multiple microphones at different distances and angles. Nice, roomy effect. Great video, Paul.
Great vibe recording with the Crocs on
Thanks Paul! Beautiful.👍
You're Cat is Asking to share what little time it has (compared to us), with You! 🥰
Mike in San Diego. 🌞🎸🚀🖖
Great video. Note that you can also delay the left or right guitar by few millisecond to add more spatial sound
Hi paul i love your videos and i know how you love scales especially the pentatonic and the blues so i like to ask u to make a video about the Ethiopian pentatonic scale I'm sure you will love them and do something creative
Tnx
Wonderful!
Sweet part!
beautiful!!
i love layering too
when you are using differentt guitars/amps and you pan them hard left & right, you should also check the volumes, as sometimes oen side is louder than the other one and can itcreate an imbalance
and good luck to the person that tries to figure out whats going on in all these layers if he wants to learn how to play it 😂
It sounds like you put a reverb when you just played it over the other . Sounds beautiful
hopin, blind, and now this one
you 3 should just form a band at this point
I thought hard-pan left and right 🤩- I watched then I just heard. That was magic along with the shimmer reverb. Very nice Paul D, very nice. Anymore emails from Paul Simon? 🤣
Neat little tutorial! I like it.
A variation, of sorts, I can recomend to play around with, would be to record your track and, make two copies (or better yet, play it super precise again), so that you have three copies of it in three tracks. Let the main track in the middle (pan) and as loud as you need it, then pan the two copies the either side and reduce their volume, both at the same rate (eg: T1 -6db Pan:C; T2: -12db pan L; T3 -12db Pan:R). I usually don't pan fully, but go to something like 80-90%, so that a little bit remains on the other ear. But all values depend on the situation and taste, so play around with it, till you like it.
I especially like this with vocals, but also with guitar, bass or whatever. It makes things sound bigger and thicker^^ but keeps them tight and all that... If you want to, you can then put effects on the left and right tracks, experiment around.
I really love to put two different reverbs on the two panned tracks, a long and a short one, similar to what Paul showed in the "Halleluja" video. Have fun :)
Very nice work, but how can you reproduce it live?
Thanks Paul! Are you using yours own Kemper profiles?
Thank you so much ! I couldn't count how many times i whatched your videos and went " Wow , that's how you do that !? " . Very inspiring and make me grab my guitar everytime. Also , is your cat like mine and how many time did he mess up one of your recording like when stepping on your keyboard or actually one time rubbing his head against the Time knob of a delay pedal ahah ? Thanks again , cheers from France !
