Hi Friends, the great thing about Reid is he is very balanced! One minute he's recording an Artist Live straight to Vinyl, with no compression, or EQ:- th-cam.com/video/38KDoWlxWtg/w-d-xo.html and here he is showing us almost the opposite! He goes extremely in depth showing how he can shape a Country song to get on to Modern Country Radio! Thanks ever so much!
This is stellar. Thank you to Reid and to you Warren. Amazing channel which we'll recommend as a resource to our rock-oriented students.
The bass sound is killer, that's for sure!
I agree! Reid is the man!!
🙂 Thanks Reid and Warren.
Thanks ever so much Audrey!!
Amaaaazing tricks and very useful 🙏🏻Thnxxx for that great video , Cheeeerz from kuwait
Hi Abdullah Ali Thanks ever so much my friend!!
Man, that was good, punchy, clear, full, and full of space. Great tracks.
Thanks ever so much Ken!!
Love the use of extreme SSL EQ and distortion/outboard for extra 'bite'...Attention to detail people!
Hi Steve Murray agreed! It does whatever it takes to make the mix amazing!!
I’m glad we have guys like this and all of Nashville that suck every bit of life out of everything by making shit perfect and then spend copious amounts of time making it sound lofi. Thank god for Motown, muscle shoals, Norman petty, sun studios and stax .
Reid's got a nice, matter-of-fact delivery, and he really shares a lot of good information about what he's doing and why. Great stuff!
Hi Noise in the Basement yes, agreed! I learned so much from Reid!
The course is awesome. I watched it last weekend and now I'm working on the mix myself. What a great opportunity. I love it. Thank you Waren and Reid.
Hi Marc Becker amazing! Yes, I learned so much from Reid making this course!!
Really awesome video!
Hi Alexey Soloviev Thanks ever so much my friend!!
Love they method(s) he demos, esp regarding looping the drums through the SSL compressor twice - but not the kick. Yeah. Sweet. Amazing sounds. Thank you Warren for yet another look behind the curtain.
Thanks ever so much Mika! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!! So glad to be able to help! Reid is extremely balanced!
Great video, Reid has such a good vibe about him
Hi jbstrummer yanks ever so much! I agree! I learned so much from Reid making this video!
Simply amazing! Thank you
Hi InxVainX thanks ever so much my friend!
Love Reid's discussion and willingness to share his techniques, approaches, and tools. Good man, and great video. Would love to see more.
FANTASTIC
YES!!!
Thanks ever so much! Yes, Reid rules!!
Darlene Sheffield haha yes!!!!
Good stuff and great content as usual. Keep em comin 👍
Hi Ear Guitar Ghana ever so much my friend!!
Acoustic guitars sound so great!
Amazing!!
Yes! Thank you!
Yes! Amazing!!
Such a tease. Want more.
Hi Bobby Kane haha it’s a pretty great 20 minute excerpt! I learned so much from Reid!
This channel is an absolute godsend. Thank you so much, brother!
More please.
Hi keithrobichaux absolutely!!
Absolutely loved this guy's style and I use his drum samples every day... but that hybrid setup must make recalls literally IMPOSSIBLE. Still, gotta get myself a pair of those glasses...
The recalls are very easy because he prints through the SSL and then mixes inside of Pro Tools.
Something that I'm just learning about is a technique called dynamic EQ.
Do you use it very much and if so how or in what way? Could you please give some examples of this technique and approach to mixng.
Thanks.
🎶🥁
I want to know as well!
Hi Brian Anthony Rask dynamic EQs are a great technique for combating issues in vocals in particular. It can really even out random EQ boosts in the vocal.
A Dynamic eq can also be used to tame mud in Bass Gtrs. This allows the warmth (positive mudd) to bloom on higher notes on the bass but it can be dipped out and controled on lower notes.
All of my recording and mixing knowledge comes from my metal head friends and some experimentation. Now that I’m playing more twangy music, these old techniques aren’t doing the job. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and helping folks get a better mix!
Love your videos Warren! Always will, and respect the huge amount of effort you put in! That being said...agh. this the exact type of modern day mixing I try to avoid! (that being said I don't have many records to my name haha)
Hi Derek, did you watch Reid's video last week where he cut a band live to Vinyl? th-cam.com/video/38KDoWlxWtg/w-d-xo.html It's important to know as many different ways of working if you're going to have a great career!
@@Producelikeapro I'll definitely check it out. And I get the need for..a typical radio pop sound.
Hi Derek M yes, agreed! Knowing many facets of recording is very important to me! I love learning!
Damn, I wish I had these drum samples, those are choice for sure!
Hi Damaged262 everything is available in his course!
How many plugins can I cram into 1 session!
Working on all kinds of genres requires all kinds of skill sets! A couple of weeks ago we showed Reid recording an Artist Live straight to Vinyl, with no compression, or EQ:- th-cam.com/video/38KDoWlxWtg/w-d-xo.html and here he is showing us almost the opposite! He goes extremely in depth showing how he can shape a Country song to get on to Modern Country Radio!
Hey, I took this course and at the end, he encouraged us to mix the tracks ourselves and then send it to him. Well of course, I did that. I like the song. Where do we send the mix?
Hi Dave Filchak marvellous! Can you send it to me at warren@producelikeapro.com and we will set all of that up! Thanks for the great comment!
Hi! Please could we ask Reid more about layering the snare with UREI click sample? It is an amazing technique. Is this an original UREI click sound, or it is pitched, filtered, or something like this? Thank you Warren!
I had to laugh when he was going through the API snare settings and said Vance Powell was pretty good.
Haha indeed!!
I'm trying to get one last opinion before I buy some mics/recording equipment...
What are everyone's thoughts on this setup (prospective) for a variety of styles (jazz and pop-rock to metal)
- 2x Lewitt 040 match (overheads :) )
- 4x Sennheiser e604 (toms)
- Audix i5 (snare)
- Audix d6 (kick)
- Scarlett 18i20 interface
This is really about all I can afford at the moment, (I'm almost 16) and I have a budget of around $2,000 as the top end.
Also, does anyone know of any good and affordable stands for overheads and snare? It is a topic that I was having quite a bit of trouble finding any conversations about online.
Thanks!
Hi Camden D that’s a great set up indeed! I have used all of those mics in all of those positions! You’ve done great homework!
Buy what you can afford, and make it work. My first setup was 3X SM57s and a B52, with a Tascam US-1200, and some dime store cables. Made it work. Setup now is different, but the core things are still there.
@@Producelikeapro It took me forever, so that now the only problem is what stands to get. When/if I go off to college and I can't bring any recording equipment, almost all of this has a pretty good resell value, so I'm about ready for anything. It took forever for me to work and get enough money, and still have any left over.
Thanks as always!
@@slim1275 Yeah, before I got a job that budget stuff looked really enticing. I play a ton, I'm in around 3 bands rn (all time low), and was also interested in studio playing.
I started looking at the higher end stuff because I finally had more funds, and because I would like to do more studio/commission parts because I play so many styles. Good thing most of the stuff I'm looking at has a pretty good resell value, just in case I can't use it after high school.
@@camdendebruin6667 you're in high school?? dang, wish I would have gotten started that early!
very cool! especially the drums are punchy as hell 💥🤨😶
Who would you like to learn from next? Let me know below!
Simon Posford! Joe Barresi!
@@nicholascowan1731 Here is a video I did with Joe Baressi:- th-cam.com/video/zLaFwW1uEfI/w-d-xo.html
I'm really having trouble finding useful advise on vocal recording . Double , triple tracking , effects, eq , compression, harmonization , I HATE THE SOUND OF MY VOICE AHHHHHHHJHHHHHHH !!!!!!!
Gilbert Spader fantastic!! Yes, vocal recording is a huge topic!!
Hi An Dagda haha indeed!!
I'm struggling with kick and bass. What about the Mr. King technique? Using the vu-meter and letting the kick and bass togheter hitting zero on a vu meter? Can I use it in country music or will I have kick and bass too loud at the end? Please help 😔
Oh how I miss living in Nashville.
Good video.
Hi stuart wrigglesworth Thanks ever so much my friend!!
Hi Reid, curious what drum samples you are using generally on your projects?
Can the volume of the title sequence really not be turned down a bit, though? I've got my volume set so all the rest is audible, but whenever the "jingle" comes on, it blows my head off...
Whenever I see Shippen I always think about Hyde in That 70's Show for some reason!
This guy has the tastiest gear!! What is his instagram?
MK it is RobotLemon I believe!
This video is not about mixing - this is programming.
working man yes just go for it I do LOL
Dan Peltier haha indeed!
Right on mr shippen. Just a little salt That's wut works
Simple stuff to get grind n ooomph
It's like bein a chef. Thise who hav engineered get it. ✌🏼️⚡️
great results but, REALLY COMPLICATED!!!!
Tip of the day :: 14:41
NASA engineers got nothing on this guy. The drum processing alone is more complicated than landing a probe on Mars. I'm really shocked how complicated this has become.
Unfortunately it is why corporate country labels produce sanitized and uninspiring music. It's produced to be shiny and spotless and sound good on the radio.
Some of Sturgil Simpson's earlier work is a good contrast to this approach. Even going back listening to some old The Highwaymen is preferable to contemporary country.
I don't make the mistake of calling it shite and trite but it doesn't appeal to me.
A track called "Hot Carl" @7:34 -- lol -- F. is a fun dood for sure -- really good stuff here.
Hi Billy Hughes haha always good to not take yourself too seriously!
OH saturation = "Hot Carl"? Am I the only one who caught that? LOL.
Hi Gribb 59 haha no you weren’t! But only one of a few! Haha
is this fred durst from limp bizkit ?
def not one of those 'too many plugins' cudgels hahaha
routing/recall on this looks like a nightmare. that assistant better be getting paid well.
Not your Grandfather's "country" bass line/tone now, is it?
Woah, he's definitely got a less is less approach to mixing.
Hi Curtis, a couple of weeks ago we showed Reid recording live to Vinyl th-cam.com/video/38KDoWlxWtg/w-d-xo.html Knowing many ways to work either with zero plugins cutting live to disc or using tape, or all digital and everything in between will give you a ton of options and really help build your career!
Rediculous amounts of plugins and add ons to acchieve basic tones that one can get from minimal equipment!! Id sooner the more basic approach
In summary: use a $300,000 board, $50,000 in outboard racks, and then $5,000 in plugins. Easy!
Reid now mixes entirely in the box.
"low-end presence" lol what
Hi Sjoerd ˈʃuːd haha are you joking? Presence ‘the state or fact of existing, occurring, or being present in a place or thing.’ It’s literal it’s not an EQ on a guitar amp! Haha
15 min in and clothes are still on... Very disappointed. Unsubscribed.
😄
Hi Elsif haha I believe you may we’ll be on the wrong channel? Haha yes, Reid maybe needs to get to the gym before doing that! I know I would need to!! Haha
@@Producelikeapro ohhhhh😆 another great video, btw👍
Elsif haha Thanks ever so much!!
He is not a keep it simple guy for sure. Thank god he is not a teacher in studio class. His mix is probably good but so complicated with tons of plugins for something that can be done way simple then that with the same result.Well like he said there are no rules i guess.
All that technology and the snare still doesn't sound as good as Bill Haley's drummer on Rock Around the Clock.
WeAreThey who doesn’t love the sound of a band playing live in a room with just a couple of instruments! It’s wonderful! Density of mixes changes things dramatically! I’m assuming you record live three or four bands? Is there anywhere we can hear your recordings? Always interested to hear what people are doing!
Hi WeAreThey here’s Reid recording a band live to Vinyl:- th-cam.com/video/38KDoWlxWtg/w-d-xo.html
@@Producelikeapro Thanks for sharing this link - that's awesome! Love that kind of stuff!
stereolaunch thanks ever so much! Yes, I understand that some people only believe in knowing one skill set and trying to apply that to every song and production! However, as you can see Reid moves form using no EQ or Compression live straight to Vinyl and then is able to mix a complex modern country mix! And of course everything in between
Sample sample sample. So what's the sense in having a drummer. What a joke.
Agreed. the problem is there is NO TIME. artists have to get in and get out. No time to take a day to figure out what drums sound good with what mics and what not. Glenn fricker would be ashamed.
I really dislike the sound of the bass in this recording. Way too heavy and obnoxious. This is not "Nashville" mixing in a traditional sense at all. This is modern hybrid country/rock/pop/techno-dance music. For me "Nashville mixing" means simplicity. If you have ever spent a lot of time listening to the great country artists of the past, and learned about the studios, engineers and producers they recorded for----- you'll find that simplicity was the key. Just a few microphones, very limited effects, and the limited equipment of the day. This video is exactly the opposite.
watching you for 2 minute you are WAAAAAY ttttttttttttttttttttttttttoooooooooooooooo complicated..what ever happened with SIMPLE..
The drums sound like crap. Adding samples instead of getting a quality recording, and working with that, should not be the go to answer. I am a drummer. I would never insult myself, or another drummer, by adding samples to the drum part. This is not how to mix. This is how to get through half a dozen sessions in a day, and pocket a ton of money. Maybe that's where I'm going wrong - I'm putting the art above the ungodly dollar.
