I am going in tomorrow morning to my local collage and asking for my money back for the tuition I paid for their audio course. This is ABSOLUTELY the best how to video I have watched, out of thousands, concerning mic'ing, mixing and mastering audio! Very well done.
You must have went to a shitty college for audio production. Cuz my local college which was phoenix community college. They taught me all that he went over on both multi track and daw. But he did explain it all very well.
Dan, This is brilliant…. The old school way of doing it. Everyone that is getting into recording or ‘music production’ as they now call it should watch this….
*"It helps to look at the old way, to understand how the new way works".....* And, the heavens parted as the truth shined down upon us. I've already posted my thoughts on this gentleman, but I couldn't help myself, I had to give my kudos again. Dan truly get's it. It's interesting that these boards are now coming back (although, I'm not sure they ever "left").
I’ve been asking for a demonstration of this for YEARS, almost to the quote. It’s so easy to get bogged down in one aspect of any one of these processes, that you miss the big picture. I just said, record 4 bars, the take us through every aspect of the recording process right up to the point of posting it on the internet (obviously without actually posting it on the internet). *A bird’s eye view of each one of these processes on a small amount of music, would be such a huge learning experience*. The other thing that wold be great is to see just how good you can make these affordable interfaces sound, using high-end plugin’s that represent those amazing analogue consoles (Neve, SSL, API, etc..). No one’s done that yet, either. Is the technology advanced enough now to where we can truly get a radio ready production with “bedroom”, or “home studio” gear???? This is spectacular. The Brits and Japan still know what it means to actually “teach” something. You can add that to the list of broken things in America today. You’re helping a LOT of people with this Dan. Well done.
Agree on this. I've tried looking for a video showing how a song gets professionally recorded and mixed because I really want to know the micing for different instruments or if they use a VST or if they plug it directly in if its a guitar, but a video showing everything step by step in a studio with pro's just does not seem to exist, apart from this one.
@@povilasl5383 Amen... You can find a video on a micro level of just about every aspect of the recording process. But, unless you already know how the entire process works from A-Z, then it's next to impossible to have a point of reference for what they're teaching. For instances, when someone says "mixing"....what they DON'T tell you is that there are a TON of things going on with that process, aside from simply adjusting faders. And, I have yet to hear anyone mention that. That, and the people who truly know, are VERY protective of their processes. It's a frustration learning process. As what the great Beau Hill said.... You almost need someone to take you under their wing to truly learn this stuff (which is how he learned). Anyway, know that you're obviously not the only one going through that same frustration. For what it's worth, Presonus does a really nice job of taking you through the process (relatively speaking).
@@phillamoore157 Ill be sure to check out presonus' videos then! Yeah, but I mean the fact that recording/mixing engineers are protective of their processes is understandable because they might lose their job if someone can just do it the just same or better than them. Thats already possible by learning every step on a micro level, but thats a bit inconvenient and a full on video/film would be great educational content for students and the general public that doesn't understand how their favourite music is made.
This seems to be the most complete music production video so far. Maybe just the basics, but that's all anyone really needs to make good quality records. Great video!
I'm a amateur music producer for my own personal enjoyment of making music. And I've just learned so much from this one video than I've learned in years from various other RUclips videos. I actually feel like I'll know what I'll be doing from now on. What a great video and such an easy to understand explanation for everything. I can't thank you enough.
those drums are so crisp! I doubt there is a more comprehensive, insightful single video regarding the recording process on the entire internet. this one is all in one place, segmented for easy navigation, done with a good song so that people can connect to it, explained very well, and doesn't leave anything for assumptions. very well done, thanks for this. I know all of this, but I'm sure it's indispensable for others.
I knew nothing about recording or mixing before I watched this. I'm also a non-native English speaker. Nonetheless, it looks completely clear and you made that easy. Thank you Dan!
100% the best and most informative video on the recording process I’ve ever seen. I’ve been producing music out of my bedroom studio for quite a few years now and this video made me really go back to the basics and that improved my mixes more than anything. Thanks so much!
I found this video today. I am absolutley amateur but i can say this is the best video tutorial i ever seen. Not only for the music recording but the way you explain. It is amazing. I am shure that you will expire so many people with this video. it is absolutley great great video. Thank you
Thank you so so much. Ive literally watched 5 hours of mixing videos and not a single one could really answer all my questions or explain it clearly. This has been an actualy godsend!
Jeez man, today is the first day that basics of mixing has ever made true sense to me. Like that the actual uses vs turning knobs in a daw that made it sound good to me. Great tutorial!
WOW, THIS is without a doubt the greatest LESSON I have ever had in my life with this. THANKS SO SO MUCH. Your so awesome. Please keep doing all that you do...
This is probably the best intro to recording/mixing I've seen. You manage to clearly hit most of the points being doled out in tips or implied in many other tutorials all in one video. It's also good for us old-timers who may have recorded in the multi-track tape days and are getting back into it using a computer. I'd recommend this to anyone starting to learn to record and mix their music - thanks!
greatest video ever, ive been at for a while now watching 100s of tutorials but yours is amazing and youve shown me more that i can imagine ..thanks bro ..
I confess..! This is by far the most broken down tutorial on these topics i have ever seen. i will choose and recommend this any time any day. Great Job!
I used to attend the School of Audio Engineering in London many a year ago. I found myself saying '..we could have done with this in our tuition'. You know what you're talking about Mr DB (pardon the pun). More importantly, the interplay between delivery, active examples, info load and down home honesty simply works. For me and many others watching this it seems. A non-compressed thank you!
Extremely informative! My comment is a conglomerate of all of the other comments on here -- GREAT Video! In fact, the ONLY one I watched in it's entirety and walk away with knowledge and ambition to apply what I learned.
Absolutely one of the best tutorials out there for beginner audio producers and a great refresher for the rest. Thank you Dan for taking the time to make this. Cheers mate.
Good morning Dan, just seen this video now. First of all: congratulations, sincere deep appreciation for your skills on playing instruments, on showing us all how to properly do things while sculpting a song. I’ve never seen someone capable of teaching/explaining things so direct a clear. THANK you!!
Very good stuff!! Congrats, you made a complete intro course of Recording and Mix a demo for a Band in 43 minutes. This is one of the TOP videos at this category, very "to the point". Love every minute.
I've been doing this a while (even worked with the 'master'; Alan Parsons for a session) yet I followed this whole video! Thoroughly enjoy your approach to teaching the basics! A lot of people will learn from this, and we'll all become smarter!! GREAT job!!!
Hello Dan!! I started to watch this Recording-Mixing-Mastering video of Yours and could only STOP at the time You RINGED that OFF. Thank You for posting this video. This is the Best MASTERCLASS. There is so much to learn from this Video. I have worked on Analog Mixer (Allen & Heath of old times) and now working on a Digital. And YOU, are the MASTER of Both. Undoubtedly An Awesomely God Gifted Talent!!! Stay Blessed and Thank You for sharing Your knowledge....
in all my 3 years learning about home studio stuffs, this one is the complete package from start to finish. you're a God's gift to humanity. thank you bro ! btw, i only wish there was a comparison between the 2 final products level matched, for better comparison.
The "old way" is just so much more intuitive and actually sounds better than when you went to computer. And it's that console that does it. The drums and vocals especially sounded much better through the board. A real board is just better than a digital mixer.
Really like how you showed the old way. I'm working with a multitrack tape recorder right now and there's surprisingly little out there on youtube about old school mixing on a console, send and return, and things like that. Thank you!
This is an absolutely fantastic lesson. Thank you for talking the time to not only make the video, but do all the editing and processing that it required. This really helped and gave me things to think about for mixing and mastering
OMG ... this brings back so many memories. I miss my old Fostex recorder. I still have my Teac 3440 mastering deck. Sold my 2 inch tape machine 5-6 years ago. I love the plugins, but they are nothing like the "reel" thing .. oh the razor cuts ..great video Dan.
WOW...Man you better than most people who teach these for huge sums of money. just to let you know, i subscribed...so sold on the simplicity and commonsense of the whole approach. Mixing is not such a MYSTERY afterall! THANK YOU!!!
Very nice video! I know most of this thru the years of (enthusiast) audio work but found your explanations captivating and very well executed. Your studio environment is almost as messy as mine and take it as a complement - I'm tired of videos showing studios set up like a sterile labs. Adding a Fostex digital recorder to your lecture is a major bonus! I grew up (or grew old ..) dreaming of owning Fostex and Tascam gear. Cheers!
I didn't realize that very little experience with FL Studio would actually allow me to understand literally everything this guy says. This video is incredibly helpful, and I'll definitely use this as a guide if I ever do some recording in the future. Very nice.
Was watching a Rick Beato video on using compression and your video came up in the recommended section... I'm so glad it did!!! You are a very talented man!!! Plays bass, check. Plays drums, check. Plays organ, check. Plays guitar, check. AND, you can mix it all together, well done sir :-)
Great, great & generous video, You're putting a lot of personal experience and knowhow together in just a handfulof video just like I would ave liked my father explaining a lot of things to me... thanks you very much, brother
I'm glad I stumbled over your channel, I have learned a lot from watching your video... thanks... I am setting up my recording studio for my band now so I like to learn as much as I can...
@36:42! that is gold. I bought in 2017 a new macbook pro specifically for recording only. I sill have high sierra which it came with. I bought also Logic Pro X, and Ableton Live 10. The only updates I do are security features. I am not planning to update to any other OS, neither recording software ATM, just to have a solid 10 years with my machine :-). Btw, I really appreciated your video. It was clear. I actually watched the whole video!
This is an amazing works you have done here. Playing all instruments and mixing them both in analog and digital domain. I am really impress by your efficiency. Thank for sharing your knowledge mate. Cheers from Canada.
Thanks for this awesome video. So cool to see you throw together a song in such a short time. I feel inspired by it. It does seem that you got solid results faster on the console!!!! The DAW for sure has more tools available for making a nice polished mix. The ultimate though is if you do all the compression and EQ moves in the analog world then print to digital and just fine tune it in the DAW. LOVE IT!!!!!!
Wow you play violin too I see (AND FLUTE) in another video- wow. Well done dude. Thanks for the full picture- start to finish. That's what beginners need to see. Cheers from New Zealand.
My 2 cents to ad that I’ve found to be useful is if possible when recording using both midi and audio signals is before recording pitched audio such as bass and guitars test your vocal with the midi instruments so you can change pitch as most of the time when people write and home record they hold back on vocals when writing or rehearsing and when it comes to laying down the vocal in the track you are not pushing your voice enough and the vocal ends up weak and murky. If not using any midi pitched instruments you can change pitch after recording then sit with an acoustic and do a guide track. Much less importance is played now to a guide track since so many edits and tracks are now available but a guide acoustic and vocal track sang along full passion and performance with a click lets you know your key is correct and your tempo is good for the syllabic content of the music and phrasing. Hope this helps
I dont think i have watched a whole video like this.. I remember playing with the actual "old way" when I was ypunger. This was very good and your mix is stuck in my head xD great tips TYSM!
Kenneth Simbapuppyeyes Thanks Kenneth! I enjoyed doing the old way too - makes a refreshing change not to look at pretty pictures on the computer screen...
Great breakdown of your process. I showed this to my 12year old daughter so she could get an idea of how the music she listens to is made. (I used to work in studios back in the 90's - recording everything to a giant BASF multi-track tape.)

Could you give us a list of your gear ?
I’ve recently sold a lot of this stuff as my life’s circumstances have changed somewhat (for the better really!) and as such my kit has diminished.
Superb tutorial Dan. One to save for reference. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your expertise and time.

You are a natural teacher and you make everything look so easy. Great video, very useful. Thank you!😊
I very much appreciate and admire people like you. You are great and multitalented! I wish to have equipment like yours in the future. :)
very informative and explained really well ..nice one dan..
You play guitar, bass, keyboard, drums and vocals...and...mix and record. You sir, are an over achiever. Damn you.

yeet quesadilla Thanks very much and glad it helped!
Very clear, invaluable instruction, especially for old school musicians like me who are used to the analog world. Thank you!

Great that someone put the time and effort into making a quality all in one production course. Extremely helpful. Cheers.
Great video Dan, I love how crearly explain what you are doing. Plus the fact that your a decent bloke. Happy recording. Paul.

Thanks a lot for the well compressed intro ; ) Its a relatively simple and straigt forward explanation, I will try to follow that ideas.
This is such a great idea. I wish more people would do videos like these, from start to finish.
Love the presentation in its simplicity. A taste of both worlds.
By far the best tutorial vid ive seen on YT. Thanks a lot Dan. Helped me a lot.
@36:42! that is gold. I bought in 2017 a new macbook pro specifically for recording only. I sill have high sierra which it came with. I bought also Logic Pro X, and Ableton Live 10.

Btw, I really appreciated your video. It was clear. I actually watched the whole video!
You are the best teacher...thanks a ton for this video.
Outstanding and entertaining video! Great playing and singing too. Cheers!
You used the word sonically. This tells me your love for music is real.
Ha! I love that word....
This is an amazing works you have done here. Playing all instruments and mixing them both in analog and digital domain. I am really impress by your efficiency. Thank for sharing your knowledge mate. Cheers from Canada.
This is very well done. Organized and interesting --- articulate explanations
Dan,
A very nice video. Thanks a lot.Enjoyed watching it.
High Baker that was a very very good bake i 've seen and heard so far. Well done.
Thanks for this awesome video. So cool to see you throw together a song in such a short time. I feel inspired by it.
It does seem that you got solid results faster on the console!!!! The DAW for sure has more tools available for making a nice polished mix. The ultimate though is if you do all the compression and EQ moves in the analog world then print to digital and just fine tune it in the DAW.
LOVE IT!!!!!!
Nice job mate, you've got an easy good sense of rhythm. Voice ain't half bad either - Thank you.
Wow you play violin too I see (AND FLUTE) in another video- wow. Well done dude. Thanks for the full picture- start to finish. That's what beginners need to see. Cheers from New Zealand.
EXCELLENT...this is what A PRODUCER looks like, kids..🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎧
I like the idea of mixing the vocals in with the drums and bass before bringing in the other instruments.
Kevin Evans I like to get the vocals right before anything else really - the other stuff just backs it up....
My 2 cents to ad that I’ve found to be useful is if possible when recording using both midi and audio signals is before recording pitched audio such as bass and guitars test your vocal with the midi instruments so you can change pitch as most of the time when people write and home record they hold back on vocals when writing or rehearsing and when it comes to laying down the vocal in the track you are not pushing your voice enough and the vocal ends up weak and murky. If not using any midi pitched instruments you can change pitch after recording then sit with an acoustic and do a guide track. Much less importance is played now to a guide track since so many edits and tracks are now available but a guide acoustic and vocal track sang along full passion and performance with a click lets you know your key is correct and your tempo is good for the syllabic content of the music and phrasing. Hope this helps
I learned so much in such a short amount of time. Thank you!
Love your teaching style.

That was awesome! I much preferred the sound of the old-school mix from the recorder through the mixing board instead of the computer version.
Nice work Dan! :) Thanks for info on tools used and the why of those!!

I dont think i have watched a whole video like this.. I remember playing with the actual "old way" when I was ypunger. This was very good and your mix is stuck in my head xD great tips TYSM!
Kenneth Simbapuppyeyes Thanks Kenneth! I enjoyed doing the old way too - makes a refreshing change not to look at pretty pictures on the computer screen...
I really enjoyed the "old method". Thanks!
This is an excellent demo, and hats off to Dan.
Nice to see the behind the scenes of the way others work. Great job.
Great breakdown of your process. I showed this to my 12year old daughter so she could get an idea of how the music she listens to is made. (I used to work in studios back in the 90's - recording everything to a giant BASF multi-track tape.)
