Jordan Valeriote is a Canadian producer/mixer/engineer and the founder of Hardcore Music Studio. He has worked with bands like Silverstein, Neck Deep, Forevermore, Intervals, Counterparts, Nick Johnston, Auras, and many more.
Jordan first got started in music by learning how to play the guitar when he was very young. Throughout high school and into his early 20s he played in punk rock bands and other hardcore bands. He first caught the bug for recording the very first time one of his bands when into a studio. He had a friend who was in college for recording arts and was going to record Jordan’s band for one of his projects. As soon as Jordan walked into the studio he knew that was what he really wanted to do.
Over the next few years, he continued playing in bands, and eventually ended up being able to take over a studio that a friend has set up. Because he was connected in the local music scene, he had a fairly good network of other bands and started to record his own bands and other locals bands.
After a while he got an internship at a bigger studio in Toronto, and that experienced changed the way he approached everything. Watching big records get made and being in that environment taught him a lot about recording and mixing.
Today, Jordan focuses more on mixing than recording, and is the founder of Hardcore Music Studio, where he teaches engineers how to make label-quality records.
He has also just released a course with our friends over at Pro Mix Academy! In Mixing Modern Metal with Jordan Valeriote, you will learn how to create pro-level metal mixes. And, for the first time ever on Pro Mix Academy, you will receive TWO sets of world-class multitracks with this course! Jordan will show you his mixing process step-by-step and teach you exactly what you need to craft label-quality metal mixes!

I wanna learn to great best metal guitar tone I can :) and improve my metal mixing skills
I believe this is the best video in your channel. The knowledge is just overflowing. Honestly goosebumps man.
@@prashuryagoswami6122 Wow! Thanks ever so much!!
@@AlexeySolovievMusic that's a great idea my friend!
Absolutely love Jordans Mixing style, thank you for this wide versatility of courses in all kind of genres 🤘
Thanks ever so much Ady!
Two of the nicest and humble guys, thanks for the video
You're very kind Paul!
I would LOVE to see Jordan and Glenn Fricker go at it haha
Coming soon!!
@@Producelikeapro Can you put a multiband comp on his voice for when glenn yells lol literally the only thing keeping me from watching more of his videos...I've forced myself to anyways and turned the volume way down and learned a bit but DAMN bro
@@Producelikeapro Did this ever happen?
Got them bell notifications on for more metal content
Thanks ever so much my friend!!
a lot of wisdom and experience in this interview. It feels good to hear this kind of nuanced and measured words rather than hearing a loud shouting its hard and fast rules
Thanks ever so much Reno!
lol loud shouting not pointing any elbows coughglennfrickercough I literally can't watch that guys videos because his shouting physically hurts my ears and gives me this shitty feeling in my chest. I listen to extreme death metal and black metal so I'm used to screaming...but his is out of context and just sound off putting
Yeah, Jordan, my man!
Fantastic!
Really thankful for Jordan’s classes. Literally went from not knowing what I was doing two years ago to two LPs in two years that are better sounding than anything else I’ve put out before
Thanks ever so much David!! Please check out his course with us:- promixacademy.com/course/mixing-metal-with-jordan-valeriote/
@@Producelikeapro what happened to this course? The link is no longer working.
Oh man ! I wonder if you can still find this anywhere !?
is this real? been following both of you since I started using protools, love this
Thanks ever so much Lucas! You Rock!!
I'm glad to see jordan on this channel, I just got off a call with him and am about to start his mixing course and seeing him on a well known channel helps me feel even *more* confidant in getting his course
1:05 *Glenn Fricker has entered the chat*
I don't trust my ear yet. Everyday I'm turning knobs trying to find something.
Keep learning and getting better!
Fantastic... Didn't check your mail Sir... Not in a habit of checking mails...
Eyyyy.. it's our boy Jordan! 🤘🏻 Glad to see him on here.
Wonderful!!
surely this course will contain several pearls of wisdom..Jordan is one of the few producers who dispelled several myths such as not boosting more than 3 db, not compressing but using automations, putting reverb on everything, etc .. it is incredible to see his videos where he equalizes with big boosts, compresses at high levels and other things contrary to the myths of the web, obtaining beautiful mixes
It’s so great to see metal mixing stuff on this channel. Thank you so much Warren for promoting and working with the best engineers.
Thanks ever so much Alexey!
I knew this wasn’t going to end with the plugins video.
And I freaking looooove it
Thanks ever so much! Couple more coming next week Jesús!
Samples are like make-up for ugly musicians haha.
Big fan and subscriber of HMS. Check out ML Labs amp sims.. I use NDSP and kemper. ML is just as competitive. Great interview. I will definitely check out this course.
Thanks ever so much Stephen!
I just don't record hacks. That's not real and just not me.
Great video, great collaboration!
Thanks ever so much Tim!
Hey, I am always up for some more Metal advice! Awesome interview!
Thanks ever so much!!
@@Producelikeapro My pleasure!
check URM academy
Great to see you two collab! Jordan is great and one of the few channels I still follow as well!
Thanks ever so much Chris!!
Damn! This is a great interview!
Thanks ever so much David!
Great outstanding discussion!
Thanks ever so much Joe!
Fantastic interview! 🙌🏾
Thanks ever so much!!
Every studio I have recorded at the bass guitar and bass drum issues always come up. Hopefully that is covered in detail.
Absolutely Blake!!
You both should give a try to the Amphion Loudspekears. I went from ns10 and i really felt the same mid range plus a ton of low end and high end!!
Thanks ever so much! Yes, I met the Amphions guys and they are lovely fellows! Would be interested in hearing their speakers!
As a born and bred Canuck, I should probably clear something up.. a twofer is a 2 for 1, where as a two-four is a 24 pack of beer :) 🍻 a very slight, but yet drastic difference... However, in conjunction, they are a beautiful thing! If the liquor store is having a twofer on two-fours :D
unable to find this course
Found the discussion on NS10s interesting.... Little anecdote...had a set since 1990, mixed and tracked on them all through until few years ago. I'd been finding them really difficult and tiering to work on since early 2000s..... It occurred to me recently that this was, perhaps, because I'd worked exclusivly analogue up until about 2001, I'm sure the sound from the gear made them less aggressive. I still have them mostly for sentimental reasons. Next time I hook up the A80 16trk, I'll try them again and check it out....:) Rock on dudes!!👊👍
Jordan is a Canadian as well. Wow ..........
HI Kevin, yes, he is!
The whole “what is the band going to do live if you use samples?” is lame. Like people show up at shows and complain the kick doesn’t sound like the record.
Haha yes, indeed! Thanks for posting!
No but ill pick apart the fact that i cant hear the kick because the drummers hitting it with a feather.
Not against samples because well, ive seen how my fellow drummers in the area play and good god theyd need samples for even jazz. But if you cant play fast and be heard doing it, then you shouldnt be doing it untill you can. The first time i got sampled replaced in a punk band i spent the next 2 years only practicing how i hit my kit so it never had to happen again. I was a little upset but realised it was my own fault for not actually learning how to play
I am totally fascinated by how completely different eyebrows these two fine gentlemen are rockin´..... Can´t take my eyes off of them;-) But in all seriousness: Flippin´awesome content on this chanel.... Thanks a bunch!!!
So awesome to see all you guys who I follow collaborating... I kinda wanna join the party hehe
Thanks ever so much! I appreciate it!
Hello Warren. I have a question from the client side. We’re working on preproduction for our second album and will start recording drums early next year. I’m looking for someone to mix and master and want to have them before we start recording in case there are questions about what they want (what drum mikes are most important with limited inputs, want dry tracks to re-amp, etc). I’ve mixed the first album and my friends and know that’s not my strength and passion (I’m just the best of my friends at it). Where does someone find a hungry up and coming mixer? I thought it would be simple. I’ve been through google, fiverr, air gigs and found great mixers who charge as such and cheap options who I mix better than (also, it blows my mind people put up profiles without examples of their work). Is there a list of runners up for the academy mix contests? I’ve scrolled through comments on some of your videos and found some options (a lot of youtube pages without linked vids of songs they mixed). Thanks, Mark.
You do have to be careful between being hired to mix a record and treading on the toes of the artist and producer (if there is a producer). It is the producers job to make sure the vocals are in tune or the drummer is tight. Depending on your relationship with the producer/artist you can discuss leeway and what their intention is or was. But to just blatantly change things when you're hired to mix is not going to get you repeat work as a mixer. Now, if there isn't a producer, it's a different story or if you were involved with the tracking and had input in production it's different again. You started off talking about 'mixing' and the conversation very soon turned to pure production decisions. I've seen a ton of upcoming mixers really piss off the artist because they did what THEY thought the song should sound like when they were asked to mix what was there and completely ignored what they clients intention was and the production decisions that were already made. I spose my point is there's a massive grey area and you do need to discuss what your role is, especially if you're hired to mix and there is a producer. Mixing should include taming harsh delay or fx choices, of course, but as Bob Clearmountain says, always listen to your client as it is their record and your job will involve different levels of fixing etc depending on the artist/producer relationship.
Having said all this, this is a great video with lots of amazingly valuable information, as usual. Very grateful that your channel exisits.
Love your interviews Warren! If Jordan had longer hair & wore horn rimmed black glasses... he’d pass for Eric Valentine! 😁
gotta interview Will Putney, dude. He's making some of the best sounding metal albums out there.
Still available ???
Good morning, Thank you for all the great videos and sincere knowledge sharing from which I learn a lot. Is it possible to make a short video or long😊 about when to gain stage. Before or after setting the faders and starting mixing. There is many videos on gain staging and setting faders, but I do not know what the best practice would be on where to use gain staging. Is it the first thing you do or second thing?
Jordan channel is great, glad to see you working together.
Thanks ever so much!!
Just fyi, on the website for the course, the song "Pathogen" is spelled "Panthogen"
Yeah agreed with what you guys said in this video. Always have an open mind and be prepared to take others views on board. Experience is gold. Cheers.
Great video! I've learned tons from you both!
Found it interesting how both Warren and Jordan are using the same mic to record themselves but Warren's voice track sounds objectively better and smoother, with less low end mud. I wonder if Warren treats his vocal track, and if Jordan's wasn't.
i assume Jordan's audio is coming from the web like from a zoom call so his audio quality is lowered
I fully agree with learning all genders
And also no one size fit all is actually true
Great interview guys! :)
the idea for getting the reverb from the DI is brilliant! i'm gonna try it for sure
I have to wonder how many times we have heard parts on records engineered by Jordan that are actually just him playing a snippet of a part himself to fix it. My guess is more than once
brettwolfelodge extremely rare! I’ve retracked bass once or twice but that’s all. I hate fixing things later, so I’ll work with the artist to get it right.
The support part can't be more right!
I love the pragmatism!
I've watch loads of your content, Things are becoming more apparent ,It seems that the producer is become more talented that the artist, With all the studio trickery .
Which videos are you talking about? My last videos where I've recorded are all about capturing musicians performances? I don't believe Jordan talking about adding a drum sample is really 'studio trickery'? It's still ultimately about capturing great performances and writing amazing songs!
@@Producelikeapro Its great hearing about the tricks and tips and technique you and Jordan use, You both being musicians and producers, Your knowledge of studio equipment, Multi talented! To capture or create the magic you both know what your doing! Soz for using word trickery! It wasn't meant in a bad way!
😊
Please, Which Silverstein song?
Face of the Earth
Hardcore Music Studio thanks!
@@hardcoremusicstudio thanks Jordan!
@@konstantingubanov4687 thank you!
this guy is a fool
Great video, thank you Warren and Jordan.
Just started your course and I already love it.
The 7 steps of workflow are absolutely amazing. I use to do a lot of the things you've identified in your process but often not in a particular order what often distracts me from the actual task that needs to be done.. I'll try out your 7 steps and see if it works for me, maybe modify it a bit or just simply follow you suggestions.
Thank you ever so much.
I almost didn't click this because at first glance it looked like a Ben Shapiro thumbnail
Haha I don't know who that is!
