    Today we have a BRAND NEW course for you - The Art Of Capturing A Live Performance with Manny Nieto!
    We’ve all seen and admired the legendary studios, where our favourite engineers produced the classic records which have shaped our taste in music, and remain relevant even decades after their release.
    These studios often boast 100 000s, if not millions of dollars in equipment, and provide engineers, producers, and sometimes even multiple assistants for a single recording session.
    While this is fantastic and convenient for everyone involved, for most of us, it simply isn’t the way we record music.
    Nowadays, the majority of producers are working out of their home-studios, using a small selection of gear they’ve accumulated over the years.
    Can we still produce records that sound amazing, shape music history and stand the test of time?
    - Absolutely!
    That’s what The Art Of Capturing A Live Performance is all about.
    Inside, professional producer Manny Nieto (Distortion Felix, The Breeders, Health, Los Lobos) teaches you how to master the challenge of being the engineer, guitarist, and lead singer of your band, all at once.
    In this comprehensive guide, Manny teaches you how to create a massive, analogue sounding Rock anthem, without having to spend a fortune on gear!
    And for a LIMITED TIME you can get the course for OVER 50% OFF!

      the first AudioTechnica ATM10 (with the switch/AA battery)
      omnis i place in the ceiling top corners, opposite each other.
      i forget they are there, but turn them on (phantom) to get room /comparison.
      i usually have more than enough signal to sculpt out,
      not much low end & un-focused highs, just eq mids out to blend.

    I mixed punk band, NOFX in 1992. The drummer handed me a microphone from a Radio Shack cassette recorder (the one with a little plastic stand). It had adapters to change the 1/8” to XLR, and he said, “This is for my snare…I like the way it distorts.”

    You know how to gauge the passion of a producer? Calculate Warren's Words Spoken per min. he ask a lot of questions and talk cause you can see the passion for everything about production. The more passionate Warrans guest is the less he needs to talk cause the passion is for productio, not to hear him self talk, so anyone who can keep the conversation going, Warran will let them lead the conversation!

    Absolutely Great video! I grew up in the 60s, 70s and 80s in Los Angeles County and back in the late 70s and early to mid 80s I did lighting for rock bands in most of the famous L.A. clubs and dozens of the smaller county clubs. Today I'm learning to play multiple instruments and collecting mics, amps, stands etc. because that's the direction I'm headed now a days. Manny is super cool and very informative. Earned my sub today ya did! Merry Christmas!

    I bought 3 of those D224e's for a steal about 5 years ago.. flipped them for almost 10 times what I paid for them as their popularity started the pop.
    You will see them used on BBC produced programs where a politican or someone of "importance" is talking at a lecturn.. It will have a mic foam filter on both ends, as it is dual capsule... one at the top and one down closer to where the XLR goes in..

    Awesome!! One of the best interviews I have seen so far on this channel. Creativity is the best way! I believe it is time to steer away from perfection digital recording. Jimi Hendrix didn't have it nor did James Guthrie in 1978 doing The Wall recording. Time for musicians & engineers/producers to learn their craft again instead of digital equipment fixing their recordings and live performances. Much Appreciation for your outstanding channel!

    I'm about halfway through this and I've got to say it's great on many fronts. But, most importantly, I'm pretty sure it's his personality/attitude that sets him apart. He went the places that he did because of his mindset. He is almost completely open to change and actually seeks it out. Very inspiring!
