Goebbels was a good person let me ask you do you prefer communism? Do you like today's mind control programming and conditioning?

i think it’s important to not call them the national socialist party. that was a very intentional wording to associate them with socialism, which they could not be further from

Ringo was an incredible drummer and that is a hill I will die on. He was not a particularly creative drummer capable of wild drum solos. What he was was a human drum machine that could play a crazy shuffle beat rock solid for minutes at a time, and switch to another beat without even the slightest hiccup. Doing all those shows in Hamburg gave him so much practice and experience that I sometimes wonder how much he would have to drink or smoke or drop before he fell out of time. Legend.

Perhaps the most notable misattribution for me has to be "System of a Down - Legend of Zelda". The actual song is called "The Rabbit Joint - Zelda", which was funnily enough released on May 1, 1998, a month and 29 days before System's debut. It's really good btw

the glyn johns bomb drop goddammm

The Ringo thing has happened with other bands. There's a few times where a band recruits someone like a keyboard player or a guitarist that sings, and the new singer could outdo the lead singer. However, the current lead singer is iconic, and the new band member is often fine being an instrumentalist

I was looking at 4:16 to see if the dancing girl was actually singing into the mic.

Any north-korean will tell you you're wrong. *Kim Jon Un* invented all those things! 🙈🙉🙊

You are spot on with the Glyn Johns. I came to this conclusion myself many years ago. It is fun to play around with and Glyn Johns is still a hero. Good video!

makes a video about recording myths starts with HITLER Noice

what i remember from the p2p days is that "i'll stop the world and melt with you" by modern english was widespread credited to the cure funny sidenote; when i first heard "come on eileen" by dixys midnight runners i thought it was the cure and when i first saw the video of "friday i'm in love" by the cure in 1992 i thought "wow, boy george cut his hair and has a new band" - i was completely clueless about music until my late teens (b. 1979) 😂

Coffee runs are fun tho lolll

It looks like a telefunkin u47, with leather? With leather lol Frank Zappa joes garage is the only reason I no what a telfunkin u47 is lol I always sang along and one day I had to look it up and then I was like “ok and also the content of the song was much more clearer”

Let's not be too naive either... Today they don't call it "Ministry of Propaganda", but come on, it’s still propaganda.

I'm surprised someone who deals with audio thinks that Telefunken ever made microphones. Telefunken never made a single microphone. They are not a microphone company, and never has been. NEUMANN is the microphone company that made all the microphones. Telefunken was just the US distributor for the Neumann mics. Just like you can buy a microphone cable off of Amazon, but it doesn't make it an Amazon cable :) Nice video!

One cool Faul story is the 1 ONE 1 X ^ HE DIE on the Sgt Pepper bass drum. I don't think he actually died but there are tons of clues which are creative, cool, and kinda creepy. Do I think McCartney died? No. Do I think The Beatles or someone in The Beatles camp created all these clues? Yeah, I sorta do.

This was great dude! Your videos are looking so good. I used the “hitler mic” on our “girls” album. Ha ha. Always wondered if that was true or not.

Ah ... I feel that I'm obliged to comment. At 13 years and a young guitarist in the mid 70s I would collect pop bottles and sell them to a local shop keeper who also sold records and tapes and I would spend most of my earnings on recordings. I bought Deep Purple's Machine Head (on 8-track) because I thought it would be fun to learn Smoke On The Water the correct way in stead of the way we all played it when trying out a buddy's cheap guitar. I got it home, donned my beloved headphones (the huge Jana head phones you can see in my little picture) only to discover that Deep Purple was a much weirder band than I thought and also discovered that Smoke On the water was not on this tape. Looking at the songs titles, they didn't seem to match the music I was listening to. These songs were creepy and scary. But real heavy also. I thought about taking the tape back to the shop keeper and explaining the packaging mistake but kept it because I was so curious about the creepy strange and quite demonic music. This is a small town and we didn't have access to a lot of music info and being exposed to this kind of art left me intrigued and disturbed and I took provisions to make sure my parents didn't hear me listening to Satin on an eight track. I read about disturbing trends in music in Time and Macleans magazine and this would be my only way to explore these subversive sounds. (the term punk rock was not yet in use in North American media just yet it being 1974). It would be a while before I would learn that the album was by Black Sabbath, their first and self titled album. Some how something in the universe needed me to hear music I wouldn't have chosen otherwise. True, untainted HEAVY METAL. Was it a warning?

Damn some of these were really surprising. Interesting stuff!

Wait for it. The pussygrabber will declare he invented the first ever mic. And the first ever recording gear.

One of the most popular studio "urban legends" is that Ringo's drum parts were re-recorded in overnight sessions by Burnard Purdie. There was an interview with Purdie from the 90s where Purdie told the story, and a couple of people from the recording sessions confirmed this.

We don't need windows with 4k monitors. I would think avoiding windows altogether in the studio would be the best practice. That said, I would prefer a studio with a south facing wall that is full glass to let sunlight pour in. The natural light makes me happier and will most likely negatively affect the acoustics. If glass could be shaped into an acoustically friendly shape, I would prefer a half glass recording studio.

Well, to be fair, people use the terms filmed when talking about video, or footage when talking about digital. So, the terms stick around after the reason for them is gone.

Hi Adam. New subscriber, I was told by a producer/ engineer whilst recording at a studio in Liverpool UK that in fact Bonhams drums and cymbals were recorded separately to achieve that sound. A reliable source I might add. Thanks enjoyed your vid. Cheers. Tony.

Fascinating about the drums. Sure there's phase cancellation but all the live situation I've seen it used it's like is that really the top on your worry list.

One pre-limewire misattribution story. One run of the 12" Blue Monday had the A and B sides swapped and my local record shops got this version, so my whole peer group thought that Blue Monday was an instrumental and "The Beach" was the version with vocals. Didn't realise for years...

I record acoustic guitar outside all the time! If you want zero reflections and the most natural acoustic sound, outside is the place to do it :)

Small correction regarding Limewire, you say "all because someone decided to upload the song with the wrong credits." The truth is that it wasn't always (or usually) intentional. Limewire did not require a user to upload the song, rather, most users gave Limewire unrestricted access to all of their connected hard drives whether they were aware of it or not. So, if someone searched for Bob Marley, and you had a mislabeled song on your hard drive, other users simply downloaded it just like any other file. I had a few personally sourced live bootlegs of various bands leak to the public this way. Also lost all my music files once because the cheap external hard drive they were stored on was getting too much traffic and died.

Those kanye jabs earned you a sub

Zappa saying “It looks just like a telefunken U-47” makes much more sense now 🤯🤯

How you could believe that Mandela had died in prison in the 80´s is beyond me since he was released from prison after 27 years in 1990 and then in 1994 became the president of South Africa which he was for 5 years, it was quite a big thing since it also ended the apartheid era so you iMHO would have had to be living under a rock to not notice it.

Ive had multiple whole albums been named wrong and had conversations with people about the wrong things and did not know until I stumble across the real thing, what a mind f

The Neuman U-47 was first revealed in : 1947. Hitler must have been directing his requirements from the grave. Some mess of ash and bone in RuZZia. It was actually released for purchase in 1949.

For so many years, I thougt Michael Jackson was singing "Eni vici voke" instead of "Annie, are you okay?" in Smooth Criminal.

Another famous example of Mandela effect in music releases: So many people believe that Frank Sinatra sang "Killing Me Softly With Her Song" when it was actually Perry Como singing.

i also think i remember glys saying in that video you showed, that in addition to the right drummer, there was a pretty specific compression setup, dialed to a certain sweet spot, that had to go along with the mic-ing technique.

Telefunken was just the international distributor. Neumann indeed had the nazis as a good customer, it was the governing regime in their country, and they didn’t have much choice. They freely admit to it and I have heard Neumann reps refer to the CMV3 as the Hitler mic. Anyway, the development was pre-nazi. The U47 on the other hand was based on the same 1929 capsule, but designed by nord west deutsche rundfunk run by the americans with american money, and built by Neumann immediately following the war and released in 1949. Indeed based on an understanding of just how important an authorative representation of the male voice over the airwaves was in propaganda. This time east/west. The genious of the Glyn Johns method is mostly about the improved stereo image and but better drum/cymbal balance representation of the 2 overheads, enabling them to more truely represent the entire kit than the traditional placements, and less about having to only use 3 mics as in the led zeppelin story. The «recorderman» misnomer of this technique stemming from the «recorderman» user name, and his presentation of this very technique in internet forums in the late 90’s and early 2000’s caused a lot of misunderstanding, and you seem to be mixing them together here. I would suggest to raise the mic close to the floor tom higher than what is usually described to not pick up the ride from the side and having it swing back and forth between speakers.

Just realized I've been calling them "Newmen" mics my whole life!

Interesting myth about Neumann. I worked in recording studios constantly between 1981 and 2009 and never once heard it mentioned. Is this one of those things that has grown up with internet social media?

Good reasons for microphones hanging down: If speakers have text/notes on a stand/table/desk, they just have more space while mic can still be pretty close. Even more space when they have to look at some screen. If you put mic from the top, it actually does prevent table/desk reflections. If recording foleys for a radio play or film, you needed space for all those steps and nutcrackers and pieces of wood and you didn't want to mess with mic stand. When recording sound for a movie, you had to do it. This was done with ribbon microphones too pretty often. When this was found to be a good practice for recording all those cases, why wouldn't you keep the good habit for music recording?

"Postcard written by Faul" - I guess we know which side you are on on this.

Whilst the Axl Rose story is true, it gets an unfair amount of exposure compared to the very similar events from Dennis Wilson for the Beach Boys song "All I Wanna Do". Except Wilson did it in 1968!

Got the planner thanks

ha ha i thought 'my name is michael, i got a nickel 'was the jackson five

Surely it would be easier to add a video link rather than a window

Phish didn’t do the bluegrass version of Gin and Juice?

Vic produced our record!

Work on your delivery. You sound too slow and monotone. Very hard to listen to. Pre read your material. It'll make you sound more natural.

That intro is unhinged! 😂👏👏

8:45 they did put phrases in reverse but not the ones you showed
