      Amen. I once had someone play my kit while I stood at the back of the room so I could hear it and I said to the sound engineer, "The drums need to be louder for this room." He said they would be because "you hit much harder. You play like a lunatic."
      Made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

    As a studio guy myself, I'm glad to see this kind of videos. Not only it's always fun to see how others do it, but it also show the audience what's going on in studio. Most of the time, people have no idea of the amount of hard work that is put into making a nice recorded song. They often think it could be done in 60mn or less... just the time to place some mic on a "live rig" and then press record.

  • @iron_tyson
    @iron_tyson 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is awesome, man. I wish more bands did more videos like this to reveal what it is like tracking a record. They're usually just super brief with recorded music dubbed over a montage of footage and loads of talking to the camera. This shows raw sounds of drums, bass and guitar with various effects etc. Very fun to watch.

    There wouldn't perhaps be a video in which the bass player explains his board? Because I've fallen in love with the noisy pedal at 9:45ish, and I would love to know how it works.

    I like these videos as it gives you a good feel for what's involved by everyone in a band to bring it all together including the engineers and various other talented musicians. As someone myself who is not musically minded it nice to see from the sideline of the workings in a studio and I would imagine the pressure is on to perform when recording. 👍

    Hey, at least we got some actual bass recording footage here. Thank god nobody trusted Dave when he said 'yeah i'll film the bass tracking' this time round.
    Real talk though, I'm genuinely impressed by how purely vocal the bass is when you were messing with the hog at 9:25. Really puts some anger into the track where there's no vocal performance to do so.
