    Love this series!
    I would love to see you cover a king gizzard song maybe off of mind fuzz or something where they were utilizing 2 drummers (or maybe nuclear fusion off of FMB)
    Just to see the challenges of dynamically recording two drummers actively working with each other

      Mind fuzz was recorded with just 2 mics believe it or not! Not sure what they had on the kick but they had some kind of large ribbon mic on the overhead. If you've seen Kind Gizzard's Bootleg Holiday From Hell there's some footage in there of them recording mind fuzz

      But you don't create that sound through the processing in this video. Way too muddy. And that added tone is yuck. The tone must be in the recording. You can't add that to get that Brothers sound. The original drums sounded great though in this video.

    What is exactly the multi band compression doing here? Maybe showing the plugin will be a good idea, just saying.

    • @kowloonbroadcast
      @kowloonbroadcast Год назад

      yeah, in fact mb-compressor is the #1 plugin of all the possible production/mixing tools that should be accompanied by a visual representation of its setup if it is mentioned in any kind of context, ‘cause if it is present in FX chain, it most likely does the most of the job on the resulting signature sound, and if every other tool is [generally speaking] possible to recreate by ear in a reasonable timeframe (reverbs, saturators, 1-band compressors, etc.), recreation of a specific mb-cmp preset just from hearing the resulting signal - is a pure fucking nightmarish torture. even if the freq crosspoints were available as bare minimum of input conditions, it would be significantly easier already. but otherwise - it can take a hell ton of time, ‘cause of a shit load of parameters on the processor. and just to clarify - this rant is coming from someone who interacts with multiband compressors on regular basis for the last 15 years - still it never gets much easier lol. love these dynamic processors just as much as i hate them.

    day 2 of requesting "tired of sex" by weezer. absolutely insane and unique sounding drum tone. apparently it was mostly room mics, which is interesting. would also make sense because of the recent resurgence of weezer in internet culture.

    Blake inverts the phase of the parallel distorted kick. The weird spatial thing he gets is from his SRS - which is an old device made for consumer home surround-sound systems - and/or his discontinued Amp Farm plugin called Tape Eater. This drum sound is cool nonetheless.

    'need this' 'I got a plugin for that'... 'need that' 'I got a plugin for that'... 'but what about...'

    • @kylemccombmusic
      @kylemccombmusic Год назад

      Respectfully, you may have some weird ideas about what a plug-in is or how it works... A well-designed digital EQ is going to be more or less mathematically equivalent to an analog EQ, just without the non-linearities. Most plugins are emulating hardware anyway, and these days a lot of them get pretty close. With the exception of quantizing and pitch correction, most audio processing these days is pretty much the same as what was done in the analog domain in the past
