really liked the left guitar sound, the right one not soo much. I'd love to hear both mixed with a little bit of a close-mic, for the presence and directness
Great to see you mention Kurt Ballou, I'd love to hear some of the GodCity Instruments pedals on this channel, curious to hear what it would sound like with your guitar playing/style.
On the first one I went "Oh man that sounds really cool" only to hear "I did not like that" lmao. I think the bass tone also wound up stealing the show a little at the end and honestly as far as low end goes, you can really just have the bass guitar and kick drum take a little more space in the mix and it usually works out.
Excellent video as always. Just an idea if you need more low end, simply put a mic behind the amp. Valentine uses that technique too on the album. Greetings ;)
Especially with those Barefaced cabs I'm sure there's a few ways to regain that. Mic up a port or an AVD perhaps yeah. Or just do the same thing on the back.
I wish someone would release some weird irs a bit like this. I’ve been trying to fake it using room ir or room reverb but I’ve never gotten it quite right.
Awesome riff! will buy your course as an early christmas present 🤭 speaking of presents: I think the guitars could use even more presence (haha..). Frequency range 1.5 - 2.5k is key here and it's totally fine to boost 12dB or more btw.
If I want to fix phase issues I just move the tracks into phase or use a sample delay. But Eric Valentine talked about it in his video; When using blends he tried to fix the phase, but found that he preferred the sounds he got without fixing it. You can hear it in his original No-one Knows video as well (the one that was taken down). Lots of phase things going on, but it's part of the sound. Pretty interesting!
@@LivingroomGearDemos I’m curious, where can you find them now that they were taken down? Btw, I think Nirvana’s In Utero sort of did this with a 421 room mic. It gave the tone that sort of “chainsaw/monster truck” sound. Anyways, the only thing I worry about is never being able to replicate the sound if all the mics are pointed in different directions. Some guy online said he recommends not angling the mics in any way from the cab, just moving them in relation to the front, always keeping them at a 90° angle in relation to the grille front. Then you can move it away and out from the center in anyway you want, but always at 90°. Maybe that’s more advice for close miking, but I wonder if it could help haha
IRs are great but not as many options as using real mics in real rooms with real ambiance and air being pushed by speakers. IRs have their use though of course and for many sessions would be plenty good
Never buy some 'production' video. None of what they say are exclusive or surprising or a secret. And especially dont buy second hand info. Micing a guitar amp isn't difficult or magic or some weird technique. SAVE YOUR MONEY.
@@LivingroomGearDemos $1 too much. Buy a candy bar and google. Don't waste money on grifters. All the info is out there. nor does it matter anyway. Mixerman was a born griter.
Be good to yourself and get my riff course: bit.ly/RiffAcademy
At this stage, you should really thinking about to start a band
I should. I should at least do an album

I really like your new videos; feels more like you again - pretty much exactly as you intended, I guess, if I may say so. 🙃 I really enjoy them.
Glad to hear that! Thanks!
tubeworks through that m160 sounds tough af

A*s f*ck?
Your videos inspire me to make experiments in my studio🎸

Another great video!

He's from Norway
Lol

How do you avoid phase issues in this case?

dude, sick drum sound! What are you doing there?
Circles 1975 Drum Samples! Added some compression and top end to them
Cool
Sounds great but also- that bass tone!!! How did you get that?! 😮
Mostly Waves CLA Bass, but also a bit Kush REDDI.
Or are you talking about 6:46?
@@LivingroomGearDemos ha ha! Did not ask about the Seinfeld intro just your actual amazing bass tone! Is that the casady bass?
@@kasperzak Nope, Precision bass into Waves CLA Bass and Kush Audio Reddi
@@LivingroomGearDemos ah I see! Thanks for the info!
Awesome riff🤟🤟🤟🤟
IDK, man. Feels like you need bigger headphones :) (great video)
Did everything get worked out with your channel demonetization?
Yeah, I got it back after 3 months.
What did you use for the drum sounds? They sound almost just as spot on to QOTSA as the guitars
DEAD 1975 from Circles Drum samples!
@@LivingroomGearDemos I had a feeling they were. I need to get those asap
i thought the stupid way was to do everything DI all the time like I do normally anyways
Mickey Mouse
There is nothing better than using loadbox with impulse response like Torpedo Live or OX box. No headaches 😂
no headaches but you'll get a very stock an unoriginal tone

@@obgog4687 also isnt micing an amp just 1000 times more fun and afterall i do music for fun
Doesn’t sound as good as a real cab

Yeah, save your money guys! The video I talked about cost me $1, but for gods sake, save your money!

Ha. Got my Erics mixed up. He's not mixerman. Still point stands.
bass has WAY too much sub and not enough 100-200hz for this kind of music
