So, you're using a digital interpretation of an analogue compressor to compare to a purely digital creation of a compressor? How about doing a comparison of your digital analogue to a hardware comp? I mean, there's plenty of those videos out forever now, but, isn't that the way you should be comparing the two?

I didn’t think I would be able to hear any difference being that this is on TH-cam, but I did. The first one and the third one had a lot of mid and was airy. The Scarlett sounded really good and well balanced.

I picked correctly. Some famous engineer that I can't recall, said it best: Analog sounds like the instrument is coming from inside of it. Digital sounds like it's been placed on top of the audio.

To my ears, with analog compressor, the electric guitar had more dynamic range

Compressed sounds better.. but one shouldn’t rely on it to sound good that’s for sure. But if you’re already there, it’s an added plus to make you sounds even better.

one question. so are all tracks, whether instruments or vocals, recorded in mono? are their exceptions?

that neck pup on the trad tele .....was so lovely - is that a stock fender neck pup then?

Hey in this video are you routing 2 mono tracks to the same bus or is it just one mono track? Busses are stereo, so let's say I use amp sims for my guitar sound they have spacial FX so should it be best to put the amp plugin on.the bus itself and just have my 2 mono tracks routing.to that bus to double track . This is just a little confusing thanks

I use Iron Gear Blues Engine HB in my Teles

Sounds great. If you want the Les Paul sound, this is great option. The brightness of the Tele gives you the top end that a Paul gives you with the maple cap. That's a sound you can't get from a Standard SG. Lucky for me I have both Les Paul and Tele so I'll be sticking with the tele as all single coil. Coil split might give you everything.

I use Hot Rails in one of my Teles and oh my god it sounds good.

Studio One use to be better than Cubase , but now days Cubase is better than StudioOne. Almost all of the features that you mention , every DAW includes them these days and many more

Here is the link to studio one simplified! millermusic.podia.com/sos

hi Eric, i've always wanted a "thin line Tele" ever since watching Carl Perkins on the Johnny Cash show when I was 15. I still haven't got one....yet.

i have another question, i;ve figured out how to get the words and chords where I want them, however, somehow part of the lyrics track disappears until I move the curser. do you know what I mean? I hope.

Can I share my S1 project with someone that uses Logic Pro X?

hi, i just subbed. can i use Supiour Drummer as a MIDI track?? if anyone out there in interweb world has any ideas lemme know.

On the Pro-EQ. You said cut out everything above 10K and everything below about 50K. Isn't 50K above 10K? Can you clarify that?

Everything is nicely explained, but I don't understand why you put the vocal effects on the insert bus channel, instead of the send?

It's a great video, tho unfortunately fundamentally flawed. Noiseless single coil pickups are actually stacked coils , meaning they have two coils like a humbucker, only they are stacked on top of each other, and half as shallow, to fit them in a single coil plastic jacket. They do, however, voice them as single coils, somehow, with their voodoo witchcraft!, so I totally get the oversight. Unfortunately for you, it undermines your entire findings / position. 🤷‍♂️ OUCH! I do think you could remake this video with a true single coil tele, and expect it to do well. Or even make it a 3 way shootout: • true Tele single coils • Tele noiseless • Tele humbuckers

Thanks! direct and straight to the point!

No base is built up in the corners. build a approx. 2 to 3 dm absorbent thick insulated wall at the short end, not at the sides. Place the speakers as close to the opposite wall as possible, preferably built into the wall.

I do the same but i put a sub n up after comp and all my special effect to the send return

I also have the Quantum 2626 Thunderbolt, however, latency will be determined by your computer hardware and buffer size specifically during recording.

Thank you for the info. Would you happen to know if theres any software/daw that would automatically quantize a whole song? Instead of parts at a time

I have the Focusrite Clarett 8pre permanently mounted in my studio. I have the Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen for my mobile recording with my laptop for when I travel or when I just want to mix elsewhere with headphones or sometimes I take the Presonus Iris E3.5 with me. At one point I was all in on Presonus interfaces but I've come to like the Focusrite stuff better.

I didnt know about the sample rate info. Will give that a try. Thanks for the vid!

Was it the same microphone for all three?

the world does not need another gain staging video....or eq video...or compression video.

Drums are the obvious victim of compression, but I think vocals may be the biggest: People don't even know what vocals _sound like_ in real life, when someone is singing, because they've only been exposed to very compressed vocals on recordings like this, albums and the like. Being able to sing quiet and loud is a huge emotional component to singing, which is rarely allowed to flourish. I think that the completely uncompressed vocal track does have a kind of "amateurish" sound to it, but I think it's because it sounds like the singer is literally in a bedroom singing, whereas the compressed one has that glossy "produced" sound that makes it feel automatically "more professional"; however, I think this is a trick, and if one were to get accustomed to less compressed vocals, he'd be able to develop a substantially greater appreciation for the art of singing because he'd be able to hear all the magnificent nuances of volume changes that are simply not there on modern productions. You're probably an excellent producer, but I personally think the entire music production world lost its mind forty years ago and we're still seeing the effects of that rolling over and overlapping today, for no other reason than it's "what's considered normal."

I love my Teles. I have a G&L ASAT for 1986, and early model, Maple Body and Neck, Ebony Fretboard and the MDF Soapbar/Jumbo pickups. My other Tele is a 1994 Peavy Reactor. Great guitar for not a a lot of money, one of the first CNC made guitars. I would only play a Tele if it wasn't for Hendrix, that is why I usually play a Strat now. Blame it on Hendrix, LOL!!

OMG SLAY

Promo`SM

the uncompressed sounds more natural. sounds like you are right there with the singer singing beside you. the compressed sounds like a recording with automatic gain control.

Just started watching. Very helpful. Thanks

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience on this!! You are the first person that I have come across to explain this concept in very simple terms. As soon as I heard the two audio tracks; [how the music was lowered so I could hear your vocal], I said to myself...Oh, so that's sidechaining effect!!! I've heard it used many times, but I couldn't seem to connect the two things and so I just thought that I could never understand it...and it was for the professionals. Thanks again!

Sorry Single Coils rule.........

would you normalize any of your tracks? or just use the input gain?

this was a great explanation, using the podcast scenario really showed how it works.

Good video man!

Great quick tutorial. Looks like you have a splitter on the drum buss, is that for parallel processing and if so, what is your chain there? :)

are you using only the stock plugins to mix the track? especially the song in this video?

Why do yu just start the video like that instead of showing how you got the tracks on the right side ?

I failed my first home recording attempt. I really threw everything at the wall to see if it would stick and figuratively put my head through the wall. Now im gearing up to try again, researching tips to have a different experience. One thing i read was its better to play to a drum track than a click (i play guitar) theres more feel instead of a monotone droning on and on.

Thank you, Eric,,

NICE!!! Helps me out a lot. Was having problems sending a midi drum track and an acoustic drum track at the same time.

Don't have an option to create a mix bus or an fx bus

Ampire is my favorite plugin software amp sim by far because it has whey lower latency than all the other ones. Presonus rules!

Can you make a sound difference vid of both these
