Wow,amazing, first time I look into a studio and Amp shopping? I didn't know it is like that.And you can see Bradley is old school, He carries the amp, you know I was in a Music store last week,also a real one and asked for the Fender Twin. We dont have it the sales man said, the damm thing weights 40 Kg.
Thanks for this one Warren! Great stuff! Nice to see Bradley just go through it and work out the ever so tiny fires... like the 130 vs. 121 thing. "Amp Shopping" made me laugh. B-Roll pick up on the solo at the end. Vibrato in shot didn't match recording. 😈 PLAP wins!
Very cool to watch in a live setting! How do you audibly tell him something is in phase or out of phase with guitars...haven't learned this phase concept yet? Thanks for another great video!
Hi Steve, marvellous question! Bradley flips the polarity of one mic and then balances the level so there is the least amount of phase cancellation they flips the polarity back!
@@Producelikeapro Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but doesn't he balance the level so there is the 'greatest' amount of phase cancellation, then flip the polarity back?
Yes!! I'm sorry I'm confusing! The least amount of phase cancellation is achieved by getting the most amount of phase cancellation with the polarity reversed.
But.. who is the band? They sound like something new I've been searching for! I didn't catch it either. I watched the video twice trying to figure it out. You mention everybody involved and a class you're trying to sell, but fail to acknowledge the band. Don't they deserve credit as well?
Cameron Cromwell Hey Cameron! We are called Gods of Macho send me your email address and I’ll send you a bunch of music. Thank you for your interest and support!
Love it! Love it! Love it!!....Did I mention I love it? I'm currently building a ribbon mic from scratch. And what's the first thing I will record with it?? My Guitar amp of course!!
So much precious information in this video. Not only the obvious things but also tiny bits like an SM7B without foam but with pop screen for the vocals. Great, thank you guys!
Look, the engineer is clearly very talented and everything but I think we're overlooking one VERY important factor. The guitarist has a moustache AND he wears a flat cap! You couldn't make that guy sound bad if you tried. He's got a moustache and a flat cap for Gods sake!! That's like a guitar super power. It's practically cheating.
Hi, I'm a litte confused about that phase checking. He says he puts it in phase by adjusting the volume on the faders. But isn't the position of the micros the only thing that influences the phase correlation and adjusting the volumes until the signal disappears with flipped phase is only used to check the phase correlation? Greets
He has both channels flipped OUT of phase, then slides the faders until it sounds thinnest. Theory being that when you flip polarity back again it'll sound the fullest.
@@angeloboltinimusic Yes, I know. But that's because both mics are leveld at the same volume. While they are in phase. Not due to a better phase correlation that is caused by matching levels. Right?
Hey man thanks for your help. I have been following you cosistently and my recording has improved a great deal. Although I dont have much pro gear but my mixes are sounding better than the pro studios In my area. These studio owners have been asking me how I record guitars. You have been a great inspiration. Thank you warren huart
Wow, that is fantastic to watch a pro at work with a band! Wish I'd leaped on this course when it was on sale. Nevertheless, absolutely going to buy the full course sometime, after seeing this snippet!
stopped by for my usual thumbs up, and amazing content. Question: What's a good way to check if microphones are in phase if you're analog summing on a small mixer on the way into your interface?
Produce Like A Pro How would the emulation of this trick work in a DAW environment? Would be interesting to try this out as a guitar recording session is nearing. Would be even a good topic for a video, eh? :) Cheers for this video, brilliant stuff!
Bought this course and have watched it twice already. I learned so much. Having the mic pres in the tracking room makes sense to me. I'm always tryin to understand the routing in studios. I also really liked seeing how Bradley checks phase like that on the console with the guitars.
Brillant, you ask politely, you're patient, you get! By that I mean a demonstration of the super-phase technique that came up in the earlier video with Bradley, actually seeing (and hearing) how it's done. Incredible to hear how it eliminates the sound almost completely, then flip the phase and Bingo! it's there. Thank you, thank you, thank you. (might be some time before I can afford a Royer R121, though :-))
Bradley seems like an amazing producer. He's not only technically proficient he's also a great listener and knows just how to communicate with the musicians.
I found his way of sorting out phase issues really interesting, was he switching both the channels out of phase or just one channel. I couldn't quite see, Damn my eyes!!! . Thanks for another great video. Has given me some tips to try out in my next session. Cheers!
Hi Dave! They punched in the last note after the take! Everything else was the same! I didn't feel the need to edit a different video take of the last note! haha Sorry you couldn't find anything else to talk about in the video Dave! haha
@@Producelikeapro I figure as much... I was just goofing around. It was a great video. It was neat to see how fast he works out the phase issues with the guitar mics. I'm sure you work in a similar fashion.
Wait he is just adjusting the volumes Out of Phase? I dont really understand why this is working. Arent you supposed to mess with the distance of the mics in Front of the amp to get them in phase?
Hi Terry, I think I was aiming where the dust cover and cone meet. Then we got the second mic capsule super lined up with the first mic capsule for best possible phase.
Appreciate the education! Grew up in 70's....pre TH-cam and Internet....listening to awesome radio music, and I could only imagine in my mind what was going on in those studios. Very interesting to see it in action!
@@bradleycook5747 Yes mate, You got what you wanted and was satisfied in the end by making the artists feel in control and valued when you where the one in the driving seat. Its a very useful skill to have.."Is your bit sounding good? its sounds a bit thin ? We going to redo your part? Cause we can cut the solo out and redo the solo if you want to do it" Thats you moulding the direction without any ordering about...PERFECT :)x
@@Producelikeapro Painful is what it seems to me :P On one hand, poor speaker. And on the other hand, i dare not even imagine what the midrange does to one's ears, at those levels...
@@darlenesheffield9835 Correct, and i don't feel i've missed much. Especially since i've been hearing loads from a friend back home, who's in his 20s and struggling with an odd case of hearing loss, hyperacusis and tinnitus.
That "Super Phase" method of his is so simple yet effective. I can't wait to give it a go, Cheers!
I agree Nick! I'm going to adopt it as well!! Simple way of getting the best guitar sound!!
Excellent!
Love it! Makes me wann go and record guitars.
Fantastic Peter!!
I really like Bradley! So nice to hear someone who isn't super pretentious and a snob. Just seems like a regular dude whos great at what he does.
Me too Derek! Bradley Rules!!
Thanks Derek! My favorite thing to do..

That lead sound was great, loved the Kustom as well for that rhythm.

It's a UTA Console, an Undertone Audio console.

Hi Alain, thanks ever so much!!

Question: What's a good way to check if microphones are in phase if you're analog summing on a small mixer on the way into your interface?
I think only in DAW
Hi Tom, marvellous question! You just need a polarity switch so you flip one channel of the pair of mics and make sure the phase is good!
Hi@@DenVeR-PRO, you can emulate that in your DAW as well.
Produce Like A Pro How would the emulation of this trick work in a DAW environment? Would be interesting to try this out as a guitar recording session is nearing. Would be even a good topic for a video, eh? :) Cheers for this video, brilliant stuff!

JJ glad to be able to help!
The amplifier's a Benson? Great, just what I need - an amp that screams "GET BACK TO WORK!!" at me.
Bradley seems like an amazing producer. He's not only technically proficient he's also a great listener and knows just how to communicate with the musicians.
Thanks Eddie. My fave thing to do..
I agree 100%! Great guy, amazing talent!
He was very diplomatic on the push to redo the solo 🙂 Very well done. I thought the first solo wasn't perfectly executed either
What did the vibrato at 12:40 come from?
Also at 12:38 he slides where it's clearly a bend. Guessing he just did multiple takes and the used the audio from a different one.
For the super phase technique, Do you flip the phase on both mic or just one?
Hi, would you or any of the commentors recommend a small mixer that has a pleasing color or warmness to them?
Hi Mark Breton I would look for a small TAC or DDA console from the 80’s or 90’s.
@@Producelikeapro Thank you, much appreciated!!

12:38 At the end, the lead guitarist had some bends and vibrato coming through, but his hands weren't really moving. Lol

If the capsules are aligned, why would one need to flip the phase, which is done to make up for mis-aligned capsules?

He's amazing to work with! I highly recommend him!! Thanks ever so much!!
Thanks Yannnick! Come record with me at Barefoot studio.
Bradley Cook yes! We will be back as soon as we can!
So, for mic positioning, where is Bradley pointing the mic? Dust cap? Where the dust cap and cone meet? Half way up the cone? Details man, details.
Hi Terry, I think I was aiming where the dust cover and cone meet. Then we got the second mic capsule super lined up with the first mic capsule for best possible phase.
