Hey there… Great work explaining this technique. Andy is actually my Dad & of all the tricks I’ve learned from him this is one I use nearly all the time on heavy guitars. (My Dad still uses it all the time as well on especially on pre aggressive tracks. I’m really so happy to see you using the PSP Emulation of the Lexicon in this video because owning 2 original units myself their really is barely much difference at all between the real thing & PSP’s Plugin. My Dad still uses the originals often but these day’s pro-sessions come with so many guitar tracks he has personally started having his assistant comping down guitars Pairs in ProTools & they use the PSP plugin… (although he follows it w/ a SoundToys a decapitator set to either the “T” or the “E” mode - using the slightest little bit to get a little more of the the “bite” of that the original analog outputs have. (Just for you or anyone else here I think the first Rage Against The Machine album he MIXED is probably the best example of the trick being used on literally every single tracks rhythm guitar tracks. ) It’s awesome to see people like you teaching people how to make great sounding music - & again really awesome work on this video. 🤘🏻 If you ever have any questions about any of my Dad’a other work let me know I’d happy to answer if i know psrsonally or aslk him if i don’t Cheers 🍻
Your comment history is showing some contradictions. In other videos you’re claiming to be “Dan” who has worked with David Bendeth a number of times. In other videos, you are claiming to simply be a fan of Andy Wallace while in this one you are claiming to be his actual kid. Which is it? Lmao.
You should make the before and after the same volume. Our brains automatically prefer louder stuff so it's harder to hear the genuine differences between the two.
I appreciate what you’re saying, but blending the FX track in is naturally going to bring the level up. If I’m blending it in to find the spot where it sounds right, I’m going by ear and listening to the balance. If I automatically preferred something just on the basis of volume I would have kept turning the FX fader up and up. Some things are not quite as simple to do in a video as they are to suggest in a comment, but I’ll aim to make everything the same volume next time 🙂
FYI the lexicon PCM 42 is not a reverb its a digital delay from the early 80's probably no more than 12 bit. There are 2 limiter circuits and not compressor's inside. Even with the effect when it is set to 0 delay will still have a very short delay time because of the A TO D an D TO A conversions and additionally some phase cancelations because of this. So it will give a pseudo doubling effect
Interesting I grew up with slayer literally …I was at every practice and was in the room when the wrote reign in blood …teched for Kerry for reign tour for a bit ..the secret back in the day ..way back was boss eq modded jcm 800 …first time they went to Europe Jeff lent me his modded jcm 800 for the summer it was glorious man …they were funny great friends, generous and super caring and cool
A few bands/producers also used the cheap Alesis reverb for similar saturation/compression iirc. And a few used them for a dirtier verb (eg Aphex Twin).
The Legacy mode is the previous version 1 mode. PSP updated v1 to V2 because the first model didn't include the limiters. You'll need V2 and set it to Full: engages emulation not only of the limiters but also of the original A/D and D/A converters in the hardware PCM 42

Thanks for the info! Drop me an email at sam@nastudios.co.uk when you get a moment, we should talk!
@@SamLooseSure i just dropped you an email on your studio page actually… Looking foward to hearing back from you soon - Cheers
@Enigma9Sigma Your Dad is an absolute LEGEND. Thanks for the info.
@@mattwinegar527 thanks so much that is very kind of you to say

Agree. If it's not level matched the A/B is completely useless.

It sounds like you have a clean DI still going with the distorted guitars?
I can also hear that

True but you can offset the track by the HW a/d/da Loop
Way to go Yt algorithm for recommending this video and channel. Subscribed.
Glad to have you aboard 👍

Great tip! Ty for sharing!
Thanks for checking it out 👌
Thanks for sharing, very cool, as soon as you did the comparison it was like that’s the sound. Very neat. Andy Wallace is a monster
The audiable DI is intentional?
You nailed it! Thank you so much again!
Thanks for checking it out!
LOVE THIS!
🤘
Sounds as if you have the DI guitar rec. also in the mix. Was it on purpose to have more attack definition maybe?
Had to evaluate this with the DI signal in there still.
Great stuff Sam!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing this very cool tip. Mind you. It seems you have the PSP42 delay set to 50/50 dry/wet.
A few bands/producers also used the cheap Alesis reverb for similar saturation/compression iirc. And a few used them for a dirtier verb (eg Aphex Twin).
Great stuff!
PS: It's a delay unit.
So it basically is parallel clipping?
it is just louder.
I’m gonna stop watching now, but basically the after is just louder than before.
Im sorry i try not to be negative but that is a god awful ir
basically no difference
