This is my favorite type of music/band related content. I love seeing studio vlog type stuff, and particularly like watching you work because your results are fantastic without all the 'glitz and glamor" of a really big recording studio.
"It's good enough" is something that I just NEVER heard in those "I just bought a 10k audio interface" videos. Your stuff helps so much and in "just get things done" 😘
Another Favorite! Absolutely love your content. More, more, more please! Could you kindly detail the guitar signal chain with the Suhr reactive load? cab/speaker impulse, eq, etc.... Cheers.
Thanks! Trying my best! The DI amp setup is SUPER simple. I essentially just used one plugin, Space Designer which is the convolution reverb that comes with logic. If I load a cab IR and make it 100% wet it's essentially a "cab IR loader". I use my own IR pack which is SO extensive I can always fine a tone that works. In this case I compared it to the sound of the miked speaker in the room, and actually found an IR in my pack that sounder better. It was "RDC RET30 SM57 Cone Avatar 2x12". After that for the final mix, I did use my usual guitar mixing signal chain. Satson channel > ProQ > RComp > maybe a little PuigTec EQP1A to bring in some weight to the lows. But all these were very subtle. The tone was 90% with the DI + IR. And stock plugins could have been used. I'm just very used to the 3rd party plugs I bought 10+ years ago. Here's a link to my IR pack: robotdogdrums.com/products/robot-dog-cabs-ir-pack
A few bits of advice: A few cotton balls inside of the toms acts really well as a gate & tone control for ringing and snare resonance(I learned this from Joe Carrell and Warren Huart). To avoid phasing problems on the snare place the second mic directly parallel(90° on the side) to the shell instead of the bottom. Also add a white noise generator and gate to control it on every hit so it has a little more sizzle. Add a mic on the outside of the kick drum and add a low shelf and a LPF to it. Next add the tiniest bit of distortion or a tone gate to the inner kick mic. Then use it to side chain compress the bass guitar. For the guitar and bass get DIs(and/or amp capture) and run them into the Spectre Digital Prism IR plugin(it lets you stack and control different impulse responses). Then duplicate the raw track, add a HPF, a multi band compressor, and some distortion and slowly blend it in. The Spectre Digital Element bass plugin works well too. This works for me but I don't know if all of this will work for you personally so take it with a grain of salt. 😅 Either way, it was a great video and now I'm subscribing! Also, I never even thought about turning the cymbal mics away from the kit so thanks for that.😊
1000000/10 video!!! I was wondering if you could go a teeny bit more in depth when it came to troubleshooting a great drum sound? things like turning the beater around, muting the bottom toms etc. I wouldn't have thought of doing things like that, so it was really cool stuff when you did! Thanks again for your work, you seem like such a cool dude cheers
Thanks a lot!! I think that's a great idea for a future video. I didn't quite have the footage for it on this session but I'm sure I will soon on an upcoming one. I do some of that drum teching on this video starting around 4:22: ruclips.net/video/kA6Jkyvjkvs/видео.htmlsi=BRNEj78bW43tAROH&t=262

Thanks so much! You can go to the biggest studio in the world and they're still using an SM57 on a snare drum! It's all what you do with it 😊

Love hearing that! And doesn't mean you can't strive for greatness... but you can't make something great if you can't get something DONE!
It Sounds Amazing and what I really dig is your work ethic.
Thank you! It’s easy when it’s fun work!

Love this stuff. Wish you got a bit more into the weeds on techniques
Thanks! Just getting my stride here. Folks are asking for more detail so I’m definitely going to get more in depth in future videos.
Great video! I could watch 40 minutes of this easy!
Thanks! Same. I love studio days. I’ll be planning longer content in the future for sure!

@@JeserNoob Glad to hear that. Really just takes plenty of trial and error to learn what works and doesn't so keep at it!

FINALLY, someone whose face looks like they sleep less than I do! PS: I "liked/sub'd" you are doing good work with "less than" kit. Good stuff.
Lol was particularly low on sleep this week. Glad to have you!
What mixing console is that you are using in this video?
It's a Mackie Onyx24. Here's a video where I set it up and talk a little more about it: ruclips.net/video/uOmA9koxCmI/видео.html
Hardly a pro recording with semi pro gear…
