God I miss that place. Great vid
Next time you wanna go give me a shout. X
@@GeorgeLeverG1 um, I also miss that place? 😬
I miss it too and I’ve never been there.
My god George, you're videos are always so beautiful and well put together. Really appreciate the effort you put into all of your work!
Thank you very much!
That drum sound was pretty sick. Also, I love the look of Middle Farm every time I see it in the videos. Thank you for another great video!
Big drum tones as always, G x
Knowing you probably wrote that ambient bit in the beginning, I would love to see you start your own side project. I know you’re a busy man but it would really be something seeing u release your own single or EP.
This was dope, please do more longer form videos!
Fantastic! What is the name of the band you are working with here on this session. Keen to know where to find the finished product.
And very keen to also hear the project with Adam. Great drummer
Hi! Here's one of the new singles we tracked with George during this session: th-cam.com/video/ptdNKwL_Ah8/w-d-xo.html
Love all your videos mate, feel like I'm closer to buying a quad cortex every time I watch one. Very excited to see the result of your work with Adam... 👌
🙌🖤
Always a pleasure George, thank you for another incredible session.
Guys, your music is really incredible! Keep up the great work. Cannot wait to eventually see you live... 🤙
16:40 always add more octavers, always
The editing of this video is great man! Great shots and great feel! Well done George :)
What band is he tracking?
Loved the "using Superior Drummer tones as reference during drum tracking" tip.
That drummer is fantastic. Great vid.
So nice to see modern records still getting produced this way at such a high level. So much modern rock/metal now is so reliant on post processing and post production, awesome to see you getting amazing results straight off the mics. Top knotch engineering as usual
I agree! But at the same time, many modern bands just don't have the budget (or any budget at all). So really, reliance on post-processing is often born out of necessity. And it's awesome that all these possibilies exist nowadays.
Fascinating insight into your mindset recording George, respect for shooting footage for the video alongside your job!
wow this channel rules - this is exactly the kind of content I want. I'm surprised my youtube algorithm took this long to show me something from your channel.
Those u47 clones in omni against the back wall sound great!
Welcome aboard!
Damn imma get that 7s3 fuuuck :'))))))))))) i knew it from the start and i rushed into description, amazing cam, and shots!
This was proper awesome! Really enjoyed it! Thank you George! 😊
The fire extinguisher is a key element to the mix. It single handedly led to the success of Mr. Blue Sky by ELO.
Song: Forlorn - Old Wounds
I liked this, a solid video
George, woah! The production. Gorgeous shots, nice transitions, the details. So refreshing to see the amount of effort being put into videos like this. You're awesome, keep it up!
What's the band you were recording? Super stoked to hear what these tracks end up being 👀🖤
This kind of content are so awesomeeeee!!!!
Easily one of the best audio production channels on here. I ran across “Gored” by accident and was taken by the production. I immediately had to find out who was behind the wheel. Huge fan of your work!
What band is this?
Forlorn. Unreleased material in this video.
so this is what recording studios look like in The Last of Us 2
Great video
Simple...I see George...I click like
I'm using that synth at 2:32 in one of my songs. Think it is the ending of Strawberry Cat. It is funny to hear that sound in a totally different environment.
Great video dude really enjoyed this style of showing what you do!
Thank you!
Big thank you for this content , shooting , editing and recording .
It’s a lot of work , cheers BC
Did not expect to see Black Anchors merch out in the wild, they're my hometown heroes!
Really appreciate these videos, thank you
Heck those 47's sounded huge.
Interesting insights, thanks for walking us through this session! The desk mix sounded so good... I'm convinced that room mics are essential for that massive snare sound
Where has this channel been all my life, i find so many recording channels that are cool but feel a bit stale, even home studio channels are a little stale and all about product details and shit talk with no human feel, taking things a bit too serious, its like watching QVC, this video is absolutely sick and down to earth, nice one I'm subbing))
You nailed it. Products are boring. The only time I'll review something is if it genuinely changes the way I work (at which point its relevant to my life and belongs on this channel) or If I'm involved with the development of whatever it is.
@@GeorgeLeverG1 I got a small studio down in newquay and use a basic apollo setup no outboard and its in my living room over looking the beach, strengths and weaknesses, i set things up to sound the best they can based on what we've agreed together, but other than that i spend most of my time trying to read any stress in the room or people being on different pages or a gtr player that's nervous or too stoned or over thinkin, or a drummer thats still pissed off in subtle ways at the bass player for something trivial that happened in a van on the a30 last year, i try to get them as close to where they were when they wrote it, i used to love gear but I've learned that getting the human part bang on (ish) brings so many more weird and fresh levels to the session than over thinkin gear and its really rewarding. I'm recording mostly beginner or part time musicians, who sometimes have jobs they dislike don't believe in themselves or drink a lot can't be on time etc etc so getting these dudes to believe in themselves and relax for the day does way fucking more than any preamp, mic or plug in could ever do! Shit that was long, HUGE THANKS FOR WHAT YOU DO ITS REALLY INSPIRED ME.
Nice job george!!!
I love how the snare sound. Great vid, thank you;
Glad you like it!
@@GeorgeLeverG1 hello, can you write in a little more detail what ssl compersor settings did you use for the room microphones?
YES GEORGE IS BACK :D
This videos are amazing. We want to see more!! 🥰🥰
Man i love the styles of your videos, so vibey!
How much of a difference would you say the Marmite makes to the quality of drum playing?
It depends on the quality of the bread
This was super interesting dude, I like how much detail you go into and not just tech wise but people as well. A great lesson and one I super enjoyed.
Sick video mate! 🤘🏻😁
"Sounds great, gonna sneeze...*sneezes*...yep, sneezed."
I always bring my own monitors if the studio will let me. No issues with getting used to theirs.
What band is this?
Absolutely love the longer form videos! Really well put together man! Appreciate the insight on how to learn the new speakers quickly, super helpful!
MORE! EXCLAMATION! MARKS!!
man that intro ambience is next level. love the content george!
Man, your video production is unreal! I love how much I learn from your videos, and feel like I'm at a high-end spa at the same time. Definitely one of my favourite youtube channels I follow
Glad you like them!
That ambient guitar piece at the top with the rain wins. The final drum sound was amazing. I very much appreciated your approach to getting used to speakers you are not familiar with. What i also like is the drums sound "live" (if that's the right word) i find a lot of productions now sound sterile. Its like everyone is so concerned about being super compressed and super tight and all the "vibes" are gone, don if I'm explaining myself well lol. a lot of the 90's grunge have this lovely super vibes drumsound that i really like. I find what you got has that but still has a modern sound.
A lot of modern metal records seem to use the same or very similar samples (snare, kick, rooms) and a lot of the dynamics of the drums are lost. The 90s grunge drum mixes used little to no sampling and the rooms sounded more unique and alive.
@@mcgarnacle21 so u agree with me.
@@runxzze123 Yes I do. There's still some great modern metal mixes out there, so it's not totally hopeless.
Mate this video is incredible. Beautifully shot, great edit and _ridiculously_ informative and educational. Drums sound phenomenal too of course!
Damnit man. I love your channel.
“Full Muse?”
KORN in ported this long before those Nancy Boys owned theirs first instruments. This is a snooze fest zzzzzzzzz
Two years later we are watching engineers clicking around in Supreme Drummer failing to breathe some live and love into a flat midi track.
Fuck yeah
Anyone know what band this is? Phenomenal video, I love these
th-cam.com/video/ptdNKwL_Ah8/w-d-xo.html
name of band?
Dude, I love your picture so much ... what a beautiful light. Cool ambient guitar when you're talking. Great session and mic placement. Now I'm really interested in how you mix your drums. Have you done any overdubs?
You're making great progress in terms of shooting/editing these videos, congrats! What advice would you give an engineer going to a studio for the first time in relation to the outboard gear there: book more time to check everything is patched properly and set the levels? Disregard it and do it all ITB at first? I never actually used a proper studio. Thanks!
Incredible content and excellent advices on production and engineering (those room mice sounds siiiick). Thanks George!
does anyone know what band and song he's recording here? i love what i heard, would love to check out their stuff
Awesome video!!! Thanks for doing it.
I personally could watch a whole a series on the process of a studio like that.
Is there science of room mics distance between drums and each other? Great video with ton of education as always!
Everything looks and sounds killer as always! Really enjoy the longer format videos!
Beautiful video! Beautiful sounds you’re capable of getting too!
I always get exicited, when he uploads a new vid. Great job, please do more.
Amazing video and amazing sounds! love the look of the vid! better every time
More of this please, I enjoyed this veeeery much!
This video doc is the real deal. Thank you for your efforts to share, George
This is my fav vid of yours so helpful and inspiring although its 2 years old lmao
SOOO THE SUBKICK is Gettig ignored?
That speaker that you're using for a mic on the kick drum. Why you not talking about it? Secret weapon for subs?
It didn’t get used in the end. It’s nothing secret or special honestly.
Getting some serious The Last of Us vibes here
Best game ever
I've always been curious about how to blend more than one set of room mics? What is the thought process behind getting those close and far mics balanced? What are you looking for?
Think of room mics like taking a photograph with from different vantage points
The closer the room mic (polarity allowing) will show you more of the kit and less of the room influence. The further away the mic is the more of the room / landscape you will see and hear in return. The balance from that point determines then how much you want to bring the kit 'forward' in the room while keeping the ambience alive.
This is such a grade A quality video
If "Cinematic" isn't your middle name, it should be. Came here after finding out you produced some of my favorite albums, namely for Sleep Token. Now I'm picturing you cooking for them - blindfolded of course.
bruuuuh this video is tight :D
Really enjoyed this!
What band is this George? Love what you’re doing!
Hello :)
th-cam.com/video/ptdNKwL_Ah8/w-d-xo.html
Are you boosting 15dB at 2KHz on the AKG D12 kick mic?
I love these types of videos, keep up the great work mate!
Correct!
Awesome! Thank you.
snare sound perfect
Amazing video man! It is really interesting seeing how a professional producer sets up everything for recording. Also amazing footage and video style. Love the colour grading. Re-also, you're never boring and funny in your video .
So warm video. It makes me wishing my own studio too
Awesome video!!!
dude! your a studio rat? you live and hang around a studio all the time lol!!!!
*you're.
This was such a wonderful video to watch. It brought me a lot of peace and calm while thinking about my approaching future in the audio/music world. I'd love to see more videos of this format!
This video is very inspiring to get up and go.
Also, interesting that you chose to mic the port on Cunningham(
Xxxxx
Hi George! What are your typical settings for distressors on drum bus? And are they linked or dual mono?
Another great video George. Really love the sounds you get with drums.
Jazz.
Besides being super enjoyable and informative as always, the cinematography in this video is aces!
Your videos just keep getting better! Awesome work man!
jaZZ
love your glasses ! What brand are they ?
this type of video format is perfect for this content.
big love

Possibly dumb question: almost every engineer cuts snare mids when it comes to metal. Isn't there way to dampen the snare enough or a different kit that naturally sounds less ringy? Or is it just a time/money constraint people don't make?
Ring in a snare is not related to mids. Ring is a time domain problem where as mids are a tonal issue. You then have to factor in that you cannot dampen a snare to sound scooped. Thats only changing how the snare sustains and reacts to itself.
Personally - I really enjoy kits that sustain and ring, they excite the room and when you start to introduce dampening to the drum you make it quieter, which increases the likelihood for bad bleed in the microphones resulting in less 'correct' signal to work with.
