Nice work everyone! The JZ Amethyst is a really great mic on anything, but they really rock for Glyn Johns style drum overheads! BTW, I think Walter Becker is smiling somewhere after hearing Warren's solo. Cheers from South Wales, NY, USA! -chaz
Ah Mr Huart it truly is a joy and a privilege to watch you work. The mic sounds like a great allrounder and one to have in the locker. Great video thanks very much
Anybody else notice that the acoustic guitar is playing A-7 (contains C natural), and the piano and rhythm guitar are playing A7 (contains C#) so it clashes? You can hear it clearly in the intro, and whenever that E-7 - A7 pattern comes in. It bugs me. Am I crazy? (don't answer that...). Very cool and groovin' project otherwise.
Definitely!! I heard it immediately and was shocked, frankly. Doesn't work for me and I can't believe that was allowed to pass! I was going to mention it, myself, but you got there first...and I'm so glad I wouldn't have been the only one point it out! Otherwise, excellent job! Warren plays great guitar! I'm very impressed!!
First of all, those drums sound amazing. Second, thanks for the tip about setting the SSL so that the EQ is running into the compressor. I use the SSL plugins from Plugin Alliance. I just checked the manual and figured out how to reverse the order so that the EQ is before the compressor. I never realized I could do that. I'm going to try it out on my next mix. I've experimented with EQ before compression and vice versa before, but that was when I used a series of plugins. It never occurred to mess with the processing order on a channel strip. Part of why I love this channel is your videos give me a bunch of little cool things to try on my next mix.
Amazing performance, y’all (as usual!), and love the sound of that mic! Warren, really enjoyed you taking a moment to show in detail what you’re doing on the console!
The piano is playing A7 but the acoustic guitar plays Am7. Am I the only one who thinks, this sounds strange? And no, it's not the sound of an A7#9 all together...
7:40 Excuse me for being picky, but I'd prefer the comparison 'back-to-back'. Now it 's on, then some talking, and then off/bypased, without switching it on again. Now I have to compare by memory. Only important for noobs and amateurs, of course ;-) Great video, and SPL now on sale!
love the cover. I was playing along, and it feels really good. The chord changes of this song is quite interesting and it's not too difficult to follow.
@@Producelikeapro Thanks in large part to your channel Warren, I’m trying to develop my chops on a vintage free plug-in called “ears” 😜😁it really works when you get the settings just right!
JZ mics are at least a company you can go with and not regret it. For me, the microphone buying journey has always been the hardest to be a confident buy. It’s like choosing the type of salt for a recipe… in might not make all the difference most of the time, but for certain things it absolutely does… then you don’t want to be stuck to only perfecting one dish. I feel like the mic swapping plugin that came out gives me a bit more confidence to not worry too much over this decision. I had thought of only getting three mics for vocals now to get the most out of that plugin.
Thanks Warren. I'm here for your great mix tips, however as a well seasoned 50+ year old pro guitarist from the UK, I'm staggered by your guitar playing! Fantastic. I'm supposed to be here improving my mix skills, but instead I'm trying to fathom your chops! What are you doing to me!!!
That's the first thing I heard, the snare. I don't know much about production, I'm a bass player. I'm here to learn. But that snare got my attention right off. Great sound.
Thanks for this! Glad you mentioned the low end in the mic. I recently purchased an A440 ribbon and I thought it almost had too much low end. I did realize that it took eq pretty well. Guess a lot of low end isn’t always a bad thing!
watching these consoles (I bought myself an old behringer MX 9000 just to turn knobs..) it seems you can do much bolder EQ moves , like -9db on the console , when I do that on a plugin, it sounds weird and makes me nervous
Are you talking about analog SSL? It saturates in a good way when you push it into the red. In a DAW however... it doesn't matter in 32-bit FP and 64-bit FP DAWs - it stays clean even in the red. Most modern plugins also don't clip above 0DbFS in a nasty way, they can saturate more if it's an analog emulation - and that's it.
Peak indicators are really just that, clipping is an audible thing, always best to go what you hear. Partuclary because with 32 bit floating the likelihood of clipping is pretty remote.
Love the view of those healthy recording levels of that session. So much headroom to play with! I love the Amethyst. Combined with the JZ pop filter it's amazing!
If I’m connecting hardware like an 1176 and have a 3 foot cable and a 6 foot cable is that OK to have two separate size cables connecting one hardware unit

What song should we cover next? Please comment below!
"I'm so happy that I can't stop crying" by sting
MC5 let me try
currently my absolute favorite song "hold on to me at the end of the night" from Steve 🙏🏻
Don't Dream It's Over
Maybe a DEVO tune this time? "We're through being cool," "That's Good," "Girl U Want" (Anything other than "Whip it")
Santana meets Carole King :)) great take on a great song guys!
Thanks ever so much Joseph!

JZ Mics are INCREDIBLE. So good to see them getting more love especially on snare
Agreed! Thanks for watching!

Didn't know Warren was such a smashing good guitar player. Any courses on lead guitar, Warren? LOL.
Haha maybe one day! Thanks ever so much!
That snare sounds great!!!!! 🤩
Thanks ever so much Chris

That ODR pedal and the fender give a sound really like what Santana put on his guitar leads.
Thanks John!

Thanks ever so much
@@Producelikeapro Michael H. is channelling Carlos Santana big time towards the end with a bit of Joe Satriani thrown in. Love it 👍🤩
@@DerekBolli that’s amazing to hear! Michael is a wonderful musician!

Can't wait for the Ron Wasserman interview!
Coming soon!
Sounds great guys! I
Does warren plays in the intro a wrong chord (i think he does) Am7 in stead of A7 ?
I’m definitely playing E minor to A Dominant 7th!
@@Producelikeapro I here something odd in the first few intro chords. i am downloading now for my sanity check ;)
@@Producelikeapro I did the download and figered it out. the acc. guitar plays an a mineur in stead of an a (dom) 7
☝happens all the time

Agreed, there’s something I love about analog that just seems to take a little more abuse. However, I do love great plug ins!!
The sound on the solo was pretty cool. Though listening on a phone I would switch out that snares main hit sound though the rims were OK..
That's a nice sounding mic. I'm just listening on my laptop, and it sounded full, plus the desk, of course
Thanks ever so much! So glad you enjoyed it
Smokin' leads!
Thanks ever so much!
Love doing covers in the studio
Thanks Kevin!
Tasty cover🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanks ever so much Gareth!
AMAZING JOB on the cover!!!! Maybe you guys can cover Counting Crow's Anna Begins next. Mucho Amor Warren and the gang.
Thanks Hector!
Got damn. Can’t believe how well it stacks up w the original…. dare I say better!?!?!
Deacon Blues or and Dan
You're very kind Julius!
@@juliussharrock8943 great songs

Did you DI the guitar straight from the pedal to your interface?
Straight into the DI first, then the guitar pedal to the amp
Please do a review of the new Chandler Limited TG Type L mic 😸
Hi...why are every pro engineer meters clipping...do you clip gain?...I'm really wondering

@@TransistorLSD exactly. I think people get scared with what they see, always best to use your ears when working in audio!
Next song maybe: "Hello, it's me" from Todd Rundgren. Or "Who knows where the time goes" from Sandy Denny. Btw: fine guitar solo!
Great ideas and thanks ever so much
Love the view of those healthy recording levels of that session. So much headroom to play with! I love the Amethyst. Combined with the JZ pop filter it's amazing!

Young Turks by Rod the Mod. His last decent song!
Marvellous Song!!
If I’m connecting hardware like an 1176 and have a 3 foot cable and a 6 foot cable is that OK to have two separate size cables connecting one hardware unit
Absolutely! Thanks for the great question
You should cover I Alone by Live. Killer 90s song from an incredible album.
Thanks ever so much for the suggestion
🌸💖
Thanks ever so much!
By the way Warren some of your sweet water links are no longer available 👍
Ah! Which ones? I will sort them out, thank you!
Isotope rx9 and a tares auto tune. 👍
@@dddocmusic thanks ever so much for letting me know!
Warren this guitar solo is sexy
Aw shucks! Thanks ever so much!
