Please check out part 2 in my Hybrid Mixing series. I talk about using Pro Tools with a Console. Please let me know what you think! Many thanks Warren
Hi plus.google.com/+AlexSolano I have the reverb going down the channels of the individual instruments except the Vocal effects come back through auxiliary returns on the console. Thanks very much for commenting! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
How does the reverb being compressed with the instruments effect the sound for you?
I don't hit the "Like" button ever...and I surely don't leave comments but your video here is a treasure, just wanted to say thank you.
Wow thank you! ***** I really appreciate it! Have a marvelous time recording! Many thanks Warren
What a beautiful and generous video full of professional and good will, I think that Warren Hart is a believer and Communes of the buddha phrase that prays "If you light a lamp for someone else it will also brighten your own path". Thanks Warren.
Hi +GDN Records Aw shucks!! Thanks very much!! I love being able to help! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
This might be the BEST vid I've watched on mixing, along with part 1... ever. I've watched a silly amount on RUclips, and this is just incredible! It's cool your teaching/mixing is with live instruments too. Warren - very very appreciative of your hard work. It's making my productions loads better!
Wow Simon Adams high praise indeed! Thanks for the comment and for watching! I really appreciate it. Have a marvelous time recording! Many thanks Warren
Please check out part 2 in my Hybrid Mixing series. I talk about using Pro Tools with a Console. Please let me know what you think! Many thanks Warren
Thanks so much Warren. It's such a great feeling to see a talent give so selflessly in this day and age. You are one of a kind Warren. It's my hope that your fulfillment in doing this for our world would merit your reward here and beyond. God bless.
Please check out part 2 in my Hybrid Mixing series. I talk about using Pro Tools with a Console. Please let me know what you think! Many thanks Warren
Thanks Shelia King! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
So how do u get everything back into protools do u go back thru converters, do u record back to new tracks in same session and hide old tracks.....
Warren, thank you so much for taking the time to do this series, and all your vids. I am just starting out as a mixer, and have been a subscriber of your channel for some time. Just want to let you know all your work here is most appreciated. Keep up the good work. Cheers!
Hi James Cowan thanks I really appreciate it! Really glad I can be of some help! Thanks very much for commenting! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Thanks so much Warren, I am learning so much in this series. Loved all the guitars and the so so many vocals.
Thanks Buddy Martin Thanks for the comment and for watching! I really appreciate it. Have a marvelous time recording! Many thanks Warren
That was awesome! Finally, what it takes to get that overwhelming commercial sound. it's so nuanced and detailed, it's mind blowing. I'm a hybrid guy. I know it isn't necessary, but I love a console.
I came across your hybrid mixing videos today. My console will be delivered tomorrow, so i do not think it was a coincidence. I appreciate how you demonstrate how you make it sound great in the box, then make it sound even better with the console. Looking forward to my first attempt at this in the next few days!
I wish fans could listen to a track when its still like this so they can appreciate the work , creativity wise and tech wise .
Hi Frank! I agree! Raw can show the real intention of the song so well! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Finally getting around to watching these videos. Marvelous sound! Lots of useful info for me, being a hybrid guy myself. Thanks Warren.
Hi Warren. Yet another great video! Just wanted to share an old trick I learned from a sound engineer: on steel string acoustic guitars I often use de-esser (R-de-esser) on the very high end (first thing). Works perfectly for me.
Hi +Christian Schonberger Yes indeed I use a De Esser on the acoustic all the time! It's probably in a couple of my videos! It's a great tip indeed! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Most excellent! Thank you, Warren.
I'll definitely be employing some of this knowledge on my next mixes. Thanks again for taking the time to put together this video!
Hi ***** thanks very much! Thanks very much for commenting I really appreciate it! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Warren, another great video, love the guitar sounds you get and how you mix them...keep the videos coming!
Thanks dave thompson I really appreciate it! Thanks for watching and commenting! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hey warren thanx for making these video's, you seem like a really wonderful person!
Thanks rugrataudio that's very kind of you! Thanks for the comment and for watching! I really appreciate it. Have a marvelous time recording! Many thanks Warren
I started mixing this song today, using Studio one 3 and mostly Native Instruments Solid Mix Series Plugins that emulate the SSL Compression and EQ. Thanks for the session, think I will use this mix as a graduation work, if you don't mind, Warren!
Really like this mix, especially the way you tweak the drums. Hands down.
Warren, Warren, Warren. You are the best. I was just mixing a song fairly busy rock song with several distorted guitar parts. Got the the "loudening" stage(the term mastering is a bit heavy for me, I reserve that for the pros) and there were some frequencies that were just coming up far too much. Well, guess what? It was 2.5khz. So I pulled it down. It was whistling at me, and suddenly - voila! Guitars weren't constantly whistling, and things were much better. I had just seen this video and remembered your comment about not liking 2.5khz on guitars that much... kind of gave me the willies... Enjoy the videos!
Aw shucks thanks very much!! So glad to be able to help!! Have a marvelous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Where was RUclips 20 years ago?! Wow times have changed! You're sharing all the knowledge! Thanks!
Great video Warren. Very straightforward approach. Like how you went through your plug in chains and then through the SSL. great track too!! Well done
Hi samusicals thanks very much! So glad it translates, very happy to be of help! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
What a great series! I just found your vids right now Warren. These are some very useful tips on workflow, signal flow, and overall project management!
I really enjoyed how you've explained everything - clean and concise. Great pace to this instructional and the hi fidelity audio is appreciated!!
I subscribed. I am going to re-post these on The S.A.E. Institute FB page! Many thanks ! Looking forward to learning more with you! Cheers
Wow thanks Jay Harper I really appreciate those kind words! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Insane drum sounding, man. Congrats! Keep up the good work!
Hi Robson Fróes thanks very much! I really appreciate it! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
I've got your email some days ago and tried myself on this song. I came across this video afterwards (no joking) and I was pretty astonished how similar my approach and my result has been to yours. Great Channel!
Hi +Jannik Beibl Fantastic stuff! Thanks very much I really appreciate your comment! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Awesome mix!!! Warren you Rock!!
Hi +PastorJonathan1980 Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Great ideas. Thanks for sharing Warren!!
Thanks Joel Glaser I really appreciate it! Thanks very much for commenting! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Thank you very much Warren! The compressed delayed vocal is something new to me, it really does make sense, like having your cake and eating it too, lets the voice cut through cleaner with the delay more pronounced at the tail end. Wish I had your gear too!
Hi Jarlo, Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! I;m glad to be able to help! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
You're doing a lot of good for us who are just bewildered as to how to make our mixes sound more professional. May God be with you and your entire family !!!
Subscribed! Awesome stuff Warren, thanks a lot for taking the time to share all of this!
Hi +Nikos-A-Music Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Definitely will do, you keep up the awesome work too Warren!
Hi +Nikos-A-Music Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
your awesome warren
Amaaazingg!
As a working studio musician/composer (mainly TV music) this is a great lesson in how to take it to the next level. Much appreciated. I'm intrigued how you manage to control the low boosts and reverb on individual instruments. I'm usually afraid of getting out of my depth with clutter so it is great to see that it's possible. You make it look deceptively easy! My question is, could you maybe do a video of how to transition from the TV/production music world into the collaborative songwriting world?
Hi deluxerecordings thanks for the great comment. If you notice on the console and in pro tools I do quite a bit of low cutting to keep the lows and low mids clean. I also do quite a lot of TV and Production work, I did two seasons as staff Producer for the X Factor and I know TV hates low miss in particular! Thanks for the comment and for watching! I really appreciate it. Have a marvelous time recording! Many thanks Warren
Amazing! I have been watching your videos since i saw you with the master Tim and im learning a lot, thanks for sharing your knowledege, sorry about my english im from Argentina
Hi Federico Sastre Heer yes Tim Pierce Guitar rules! Thanks for watching I appreciate it. Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Thank you Warren! and I really appreciate too your answer, keep watching your amazing videos, take care!
PROPS to you BRUH. I am glad that you are doing tutorials. THANK YOU WARREN.
Thanks MAAT HOTEP I really appreciate it! Thanks very much for commenting! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
I like this! Nice Video Thanks!
Hi +Rafael Santiago Thanks very much!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Great pair of hybrid mixing videos, thanks so much. My question is: You EQ first in the box, and then again in the console, with different cuts and boost on each. how do you decide which one you do where? My guess, correct me if I'm wrong: could it be that your in the box EQ shapes the individual tones, and the console EQ is how you make all channels sound good as a mix leaving space for each other, etc? Thanks again!
Clearly seen as the sculpting sonorities between editing and digital processes in conjunction with the taste and the power of the console, even more by giving the example of Pultec, sensasional tone undoubtedly complements! And the song with very good vibes or as we say here: chévere!! = cool !!
Hi +Francisco Viper Díaz Thank you for your extremely kind words!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Wow.
These videos just blew the lid off of audio production for me.
I'm brand new to this.
I've played guitar for many years, but only saw this end from that end.
So, watching this process happen was like opening that door that I was hanging out next to but never went through before.
This was like seeing someone like SRV in action, but the other half of the equation.. and no less an art.
Now I'm hooked and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if I watched this 30 times AND took notes because that's how I am.
So that when I go into a situation where everything has been tracked, I won't be staring at the DAW wondering what to do and where to start.
Of course I won't have the badass protools rig or the console or the outboards, but even with a Behringer and free VSTs, I can apply the same techniques (to some extent) and come out with something far superior to what i would have before I saw this.
You know.. knowledge is something that you generally cant get by spending tons of money. You have to put in the time and the love, so if I seem overly impressed its because I can fully appreciate the value of what I just saw.
Kinda like the difference between seeing that hot girl for the 1st time when everyone else has hung out with her for years. Scuze me while I pick my jaw up off the floor... just go on about your business while I stand over here and gawk.
Ive been subbed to the Tim Pierce channel since the 1st week it came out and oddly enough, here he is on these tracks.
I don't believe it fate, but that's pretty fate-ish. So, I'm subbing to this channel in the name of hot girls, Tim Pierce, and fate.
NO way I can say thanks that does justice to what I've learned here. This is the most excited Ive been from learning something in years. But. I'll try.. THANKS for the great video!
Now I'm off to watch more.
Hi +IPushHard YOU ROCK!!! Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! It's these kinds of comments that keep me doing this! So positive and insightful!! I agree no need to spend a fortune and don;t listen to the guys who rant away and really know! Ha. We are ALL just learning and we should be helping each other!! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
+Produce Like A Pro HI Warren! Great to hear back. It's an honor. I've taken a forced short (hopefully) pause because i have to set up dual boot Windows/Linux on this system. Talk about polar opposites on the satisfaction spectrum...
I have a few general thoughts (yea already!) on audio production that I'd like to pass along. Hope you don't mind. They are basically curiosities that I think are interesting,
First, I've seen a few RUclips channels on audio production (This one being the best BY FAR) and one of the first things I noticed was that each channel seemed to have a niche genre of music that they focus on. Yours is generally on the rock side, and others are hip hop, and then Ive seen trance/electro. and metal. I really haven't seen anything that was mostly acoustic yet (whatever the genre).
.. but this is one of the ways I see recording being a whole new world of endless possibilities.
.. Since each of these genres have developed their own unique framework in approaching production. (this is with the understanding that each producer has his/her own way of doing things.) do you think there is value in picking up the techniques and experiment with applying them in your realm?
For instance, I saw a video by someone I assume was a well regarded producer in trance music. I have no way of knowing.. I dont know anything about that music.
But the very first thing that came to mind was, I wonder how Warren would approach doing something like that which is probably something he isn't really comfortable with?
..and further I wonder if there is actual solid production value in doing things that are outside of the comfort zone?
... like me doing classical on guitar. I may learn something but since classical isn't my thing, would it really be worth looking over that fence?
For some reason, I feel like learning "outside the comfort zone" would usually translate better in the studio production than it would on an instrument.
Just wondered what your thoughts are? Maybe someday you' could pick something completely out of your norm and show us how you would approach it?
Sorry, my brain has a mind of its own and when I get enthused it goes into turbo mode. ..and sorry for so many words. I honestly meant to say thanks and hello.
Hi +IPushHard Thanks for the great comment! I actually do A LOT of acoustic stuff, please check out Trevor Hall's album's I've done with him, there's many acoustic only songs on his last two albums I produced. Check this out, it's an acoustic vocal song we added a stand up bass and drum kit to ruclips.net/video/fskLXeTq5mk/видео.html For the dance side try listening to this breakdown of a track where I added a lot of EDM sounds to a Rock track ruclips.net/video/FVrSkOTNvog/видео.html I hope that helps? Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
+Produce Like A Pro I wIll do that and thanks again!
Just awesome
Hi Nemanja Lazic thanks very much! I really appreciate it! Thanks for the comment and for watching! I really appreciate it. Have a marvelous time recording! Many thanks Warren
Warren, thank you for the vid! Hybrid mixing is really a cool thing; analog summing glues everything and analog compressors add thickness to tracks and together they sound wide and they have "body". The topic of mixing becomes much clearer to me after watching your videos! Could you please also make a video about mastering especially the "ambience recovery", 'cause after it mixes sound more wide and open. I spend a lot of time on watching different stuff on youtube and reading articles on that, but still this topic is unrevealed. Thanks in advance!
Hi Artem Suntsov thanks for the comment I really appreciate it! I have done a couple of mastering videos, but I will definitely do another on the near future. Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Produce Like A Pro Great! Looking forward to it! )
Thanks so much Warren! So do you record the direct outs from your ssl channels back in to protools to do revisions on the mix? Or do you re-configure the desk everytime you do mix adjustments?
Hi Warren, i have a question, so when you are done mixing with the console, how do you get the final procesed audio? like how to apply the changes made on the console to the actual audio track. many thanks, i'm new to the audio world but i love it and i am already building my home studio, thanks for all the videos
Thank you Warren!
Thank you! Have a marvelous time recording
Thanks Jay Harper I really appreciate it! Thanks very much for commenting. Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hi Warren. I've watched this video before, but I just watched it again as I now have a somewhat hybrid set up finally working in my studio. One question, How do you bring your console back in to the DAW? Is it coming in through the BUS (I noticed you mentioned your BUS compression) and if so, do you then print the tracks down to two or do you print multiple BUS tracks then do a final summing in the box, or do you use each channel as an "Insert" and take the signal straight back in from each strip? I love what the SSL adds in character, and I do have the Waves SSL bundle... but I also have a MIDAS console that I use for tracking, but I find the EQ's very musical on it, and I'd love to use them at the other end as well.
Thanks Warren.
Danny
Hi Warren, One of the thing i have always been curious about on Hybrid mixing setups is your process for "printing" the character and sound that the SSL has on each individual track.
In other hybrid mixing setups, ive seen the channel inserts go out to the converters and return FROM the converters to the channels. Obviously you have standard mixing board functionality after that, and you would here all of this through your monitors if they are coming off that board. At what point does the EQ, compression, and reverb returns from the console come back to the converters for the final render. Do you let everything process out live back to a single stereo return?
Would you record inputs from each mix bus? Any help understanding this would help. Most of the things i find online are not terribly helpful at the moment.
Thanks
Thank you for the insight Mr Huart. It is well appreciated. I'm mixing on a SSL Matrix and I am currently doing the same type of thing. More so, Summing the stems on the console. I would assume you have enough channels on your Audio Interface/s to feed the console? My real question is, how do you print those mixes? Do you go back into PT? Also do you have any other processing on your mix bus other than the SSL Bus Comp? Is is safe to say that you do not have a mix bus within the DAW, that contains processing? I do and the routing is currently doing my head in as I need to monitor the mixbus within the DAW along with the stems bussed through the console back into DAW and print inside PT. Thank you again for letting us into your world. Kind Regards.
Tim Pierce, great guitar player!
Yes indeed ebbulk he's amazing! Thanks for the comment and for watching! I really appreciate it. Have a marvelous time recording! Many thanks Warren
Hey warren Great Videos man, Real impressive thanks for the great information. Please keep them coming i am learning much.
1. How hard are you hitting your center section (Mix Bus) On the console in a typical Heavy rock mix? Are you going into the red? Keeping it at zero? How is your gain staging on individual channels?
2. When you print back into pro-tools via your larvy Convertors how hot are you Printing?
I have an ssl and this is invaluable information thanks so much Again
Hi +Chester Oszustowicz Great question! Only occasional channel peaks but for Rock Mixes I hot my master bus pretty hard! I'm not distorting my Lavry's I keep them vey clean. I hope that helps? Thanks very much I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
So whats process of gettin stems back into protools like is it the same protools session u record to.....etc
Great mix! So did you record everything there at your studio? If so what mics, mic pres and converters do you use?
Are you typically making the bigger eq moves in or out of the box?
i had to skim thru- watching AT WORk.....really cool- sounds great. Where DO you capture the final Stereo Mix..to tape? or back to a Protools Stereo 2trk?
Hi +TheMortybob Thanks for the great question! It really depends, I mixed some of the last Aerosmith record to tape and then some back into Pro Tools through a Lavry Blue. I hope that helps! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Really cool stuff. I wonder about you gain stageing, though. If you sum up (printing your final stereo-track back into the DAW), do you do control all your buss-volumes via the SSL?
Hi hanessteam thanks for the great question! Yes I do, I use the SSL Bus Compressor and go back into my DAW through a Lavry Blue. Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hey warren first off great video! Love all your stuff! Quick question though! I’m curious how you bring it back into pro tools? Do you just take the 2 track from the console and print it back into pro tools? Or do you have a better way?
Hi Kevin Marvellous question! I go back into Pro Tools using my Lavry Blue convertor!
Hi Warren. Thanks a lot! very cool video.
Have did you create the whisper and octave? was it recorded?
Hi +Peter Hove Please check out this video where I show how I mix vocals with more detail:- ruclips.net/video/syudb_B1x_A/видео.html Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Sorry if you said it but what model SSL is the console? Looks like maybe 8000G+?
Hi Sam Knaak great question! It's an SSL4000E with an G computer and 6000 channels. Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hi Warren, thanks for Your videos! Do You think that ad/da converters are so much imprtant in hybrid mixing? Nowadays we can buy an old Apogee converter for a few money while the latest are very expensive...what about it? Thanks You very much!
Hi stevieray1978 great question! Honestly if there's great deals on old Apogees I would pick them up! great convertors! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hey Warren, nice tutorial, thanks =) How do you go about sending guitars to reverbs on opposite sides? do you have to reverbs set up one for the left and one for the right and then just send into it?
Hi Samuel Ellringmann thanks for the great question! It depends, if you use a split mono reverb you can just send one to one side and one to another, otherwise if I want a more separated or different sound on each side I might use two different reverbs. Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Thanks Warren! I'm curious - do you have all of the waves plugins?? You seem to be quite fond of the Rennaissance series!
I do really enjoy Waves Plug Ins! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
warren, I may have missed this in the video, but how do you keep all your settings on the console straight? In other words, if this is a session from some time ago, how do you keep track of your console settings for recall? I'm going to be adding some hybrid mixing with 500 series stuff soon and I've been trying to figure out how to keep note of that with recall. Thanks! Great video! -Jake
Hi Jacob Longoria thanks for the great question! Luckily the SSL has total recall and all the settings are saved onto a disc. When I mix through my other console a CADAC I just use digital photos of the settings to recall it! Frankly the best solution for me! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Take pictures with your phone. Works like a charm!
are the faders on the console set to zero?
Hi ***** the console has Total recall, so the faders are in relationship to any fader moves that were made. Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks for your comment, I really appreciate it! Warren
Warren, I noticed you have a few 500 series modules. What is your opinion on utilizing these for hybrid mixing in home studios? Many of us don't have access to an SSL or API board, but can afford to build a decent lunchbox. I'm looking into this and I'm curious if it will bring more analog weight in comparison to the plugins I've been using. I'm interested in the offerings from Neve and Chandler. By the way, great series! Thanks for your hard work on this.
Hi trojannate great question! I do actually use a pair of API 560b graphics to use on Kick and Snare, also I have a pair of Phoenix Audio DRS EQs I use on Guitars as well, they sound amazing! Thanks very much for the wonderful comment! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
How would you send the individual tracks i.e. Kick tom snare etc to there own channel on the mixer so I could do the levels on the mixer
Yes indeed! Exactly right! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
What about the cardboard box full of cables mate? Do I really need it or is stock OK?
Hi Billy Glen Jr I'm assuming you mean the SSL patch bay behind me? Those are TT Cables that I use to patch outboard equipment such as the Pultecs etc into the console. Thanks for the comment and for watching! I really appreciate it. Have a marvelous time recording! Many thanks Warren
Hey Warren, fantastic video as always! I've watched tons of your stuff the last couple of days and it's so, so good. Signed up for the email-list as well, really great stuff there too! I was wondering if you could make a video on how you hook your outboard stuff up going into your pro tools rig? I know it's a lot to ask, but I want to start expanding my stuff with a few 500 series eqs and compressors for a bit of different color on lead vocals etc. going into my computer, but I have no clue how to hook everything up and what stuff I'll need to make that happen! All I have is a basic Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 interface (which I'll expand with the Focusrite Sapphire series via ADAT for 16 channels). Thanks again for these great videos, your work sounds amazing!
Hi +russin94 I'm very glad you've enjoyed the videos! I have an amazing time making them! I am going to be upgrading my Pro Tools system shortly so I intend to film a lot of it! That will give you an idea of the set up! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Sounds great, thanks a bunch!
Hi +russin94 You;re welcome!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
You play guitar right wanna play something for me...? Do you have linked in?
So, today I watched part II and it was interesting to see how that , in my opinion, over produced sound is obtained, so thanks for that.
But I was wondering, I see you used a lot of processing and here's my question: do you listen to the all the tracks simoultanesly and then go about eq, comp etc. etc. or do you solo stuff to get the sound you need and then listen back to everything and adjust?
I am thinking that after all these years of mixing it's a bit of both, but like I said, just wondering.
Have a great day
Giuseppe
Hi Giuseppe Formisano Haha 'over produced', I try to always listen to everything together as much as possible, only soloing when I have to check things. I always make my decisions based on how everything sounds together because that's how we will listen to the final result. I hope that helps! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
If I were to use my SSL4000 waves like you use your SSL as the hybrid where would I put my plugins? On Auxes or on individual inserts/tracks but at the end of the inserts after all the other inserts on each track? Great video Warren, learned lots
Hi rapofgod great question. Yes put the SSL Plug Ins on aux the same way I did in the video, so to clarify where the tracks are summed to the console through an aux place the SSL Waves Plug In on there. Let me know how it goes! Thanks very much for commenting! I really appreciate it! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Produce Like A Pro so for every track I should set up an aux with a SSL plug in on it? So drums- set up an aux and throw the SSL on it? And Follow suit? Thx Warren for responding
Hi rapofgod if you watch the video closely you'll see that I sum my Kicks to one aux, Snares to another, Hihat and Ohds to another etc. Let me know how it goes. Thanks very much for commenting, I really appreciate it! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
+Produce Like A Pro Yeah thank you for your time and knowledge Warren!!!but i was wondering what's the purpose of summing through the ssl? when you monitor your song do you monitor protools or the console??
I don't get it? i have a SSL Sigma and i don't know how to utilise it to itt's fullest i'm always loosing myself between recording each track through it or leaving them tracks clean in pro tools then only record the summing in the box could you enlighten me on that please Warren?
Thx for responding Warren
Hi Warren, thanks for this video series, they are really useful, especially for a beginner like me. I hope the question hasn't been asked already: how do you create the whisper vocal track off of the normal vocal track? Thanks in advance, and have a good day. :)
Hi +Crazy Bush I use the Mophoder Plug in by waves to create the whisper track! I hope that helps! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Alright thanks a lot! :D
Hi +Crazy Bush glad to be able to help! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
How do you deal with verb returns do they get fed from PT or from the Console?
Hi +Alex Solano The reverb returns for the vocal comes back on aux return on the console. The reverb for the guitars are coming back on the channels. Thanks very much I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hi Warren great video! I do Hybrid Mixing as well in a similar fashion to the way you describe. I'm curious how you handle recall on the console. I'm not that familiar with SSL. Does it store your eq and compression settings so you can call them up at a later date if you say had to remix the track? PS I just signed up for the Academy and really look forward to being a part of that. Keep up the great work. David
Hi +David Hayes Great question! Yes the SSL stores all of the EQ and compression settings! Welcome to the academy!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Thanks Warren! That's a great feature. My A&H GSR 24M console doesn't have this unfortunately. One trick I learned from others that have my same board is taking a photo of the settings and saving it with the Logic session. Seems to work ok. Thanks again. David
Hi +David Hayes I understand! I've done that many times myself!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hi Warren, what is your SSL Console's model? Is that SSL 4k E series?
Hi +Ha Nguyen yes that is correct! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
That's my dream Console! Thank you very much, now I understand why that desk is so punchy.
Hi +Ha Nguyen Wonderful! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
nice
Are you using side chain on the compressed delays?
Hi +Christian Angelo Nilsén Yes the vocal is compressing the delays so they come up after they finish! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hi Warren, I'm from Brasil. Your approach is amazing, the videos are owesome ! I'm learning quite a lot with you, thanks a lot ! I have a question. How do you proceed with the console if you have to do a recall mix ? Thank you again ! Cheers.
Hi Mano Giba Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! I will recall the SSL console from a disk and use the total recall function. Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Produce Like A Pro Ok. Thank you !
Hi Mano Giba thank YOU for your great question! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Produce Like A Pro Thanks Warren, same to you ! Some day you could do a video talking about the signal chain from your hardware (Compressors, pré-amps, etc ) through the patchbay and console/ or Protools. How do you manipulate that. We can't find videos like that almost in anywhere and if you do that would be great ! Thanks !
Have a nice weekend too ! Cheers
Hi Mano Giba great stuff! Yes I am definitely going to do that! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
on the guitars
what i dont get is : when you eq everything so much, doesnt it kill the natural dynamics of the song in the end?
Hi +Bebe Na Vole Great question! If I were only recording one instrument and a vocal I would need only a minimal amount of EQ and compression, if at all. As we add more parts we use EQ to shape areas where there is a cross over of frequencies, most often that can be low mids (hence the 350Hz cut in the drums) and then of course the very low lows where the Kick and low end of the bass live, so we cut lows in some other instruments to allow clarity down there. Also finding the fundamental frequency of an instrument and boosting it a little can help it stand out in a mix without the need for just turning it up considerably. I hope that helps? Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Nice beach track
Hi +bubz75 Thanks very much! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Woohoo!
Hi +Alex Solano Haha Thanks very much I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
yow broda love that raggae vibe
Hi Dilla Oniel thanks very much! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
can you show me how to get my vocal up front ,wide and big
Hi Dilla Oniel great question! Watch my vocal thickening video ruclips.net/video/IwIZ35CAA5Y/видео.html also try parallel compression on the vocal, or use Waves MV2 plug in if you have it, that will bring up the low stuff as well as compressing the top. Let me know how you get on! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
yes i watch it but like your panning,delay and reverb maybe a little on that
Great! Dilla Oniel I use dynamic delays on the vocals and two reverbs, a short one room verb and a longer Plate. I hope that helps! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
+Produce Like A Pro Would be awesome if you could do a video on how you would mic a Leslie cabinet one day.
Great idea Zaki!! Will do!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Produce Like A Pro great! Will be looking forward to it. You have a marvelous time as well :)
Thanks Zaki!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I wonder what is actually advantage of hybrid mixing in this particulary song?
Hi +Lemon 3 It's all about your own personal work flow, everyone likes to work in a different way and this works great for me! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
hey warren are you in to mixing raggae
Hi Dilla Oniel of course!! I LOVE Reggae! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
there is a rock guy face in 24:40 ， the screen of the console haha
Reminds me of New Order smiling
Am i the only one who hears the massive phase problems from 6:20 onwards with the guitar?
Hi +kontemplate music Hmm none in the track, you can listen to the final mix, but maybe you're hearing the vocal mic picking up the track and that's effecting how you hear it? Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
It's really old but it always need a real guitarist. Alchemy R & B track plus after you play what my fake and bake was supposed to be you get to go crazy on and I always share the credits cause I can't afford you. Doesn't it sound wonderfully like a bad Rocky movie, training and possibly no title fight. You know you can beT that, plus I have no Singer and no lyrics to it just the music.
doesn't sound like reggae to me
Hi baddriddim yes agreed it's definitely not a Reggae track, it's a Pop song that just borrows some ideas. Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
