Mike Plotnikoff is one of the most prolific engineers in the world, there is almost zero chance you haven't heard something he's worked on. Watch as he divulges his philosophies and secrets while recording Björn Gelotte of In Flames.
To see the entire process from start to finish check out How It's Done with Howard Benson.

In Flames we trust
The most impressive thing to me isn't the recording itself, but the player who has all the riffs, variations, and arrangements all mapped in his head, ready to go.
They do give props to the players.
Anyone who works with In flames is someone i trust when it comes to guitar.
*Edit*
The guest appearance from Bjorn, made me fangirl.
Why slap such a dumb clickbait title to a video showcasing one of the finest engineers out there? If i didn't see it was Mike Plotnikov i would've never watched it otherwise
ya I hate the clickbait titles. I usually don't watch them.
Rick Beato type shit lol
Having In Flames participate in URM was one of the best decisions!
I think it's neat that he's playing an Epiphone.
Oh wow, That record is a masterpiece. You have my complete attention.
The video is gold. It's so good to see the process and how fast they work.
Yup, great chemistry between these guys, developed over many hours I’m sure and with an engineer who’s quick with protools work flow you don’t lose the momentum
I love the work on this album
Mike is one of the GOATs for real.
Mike Is the best awesome to see his process.
Man that's some awesome tone! Really cool!
When it comes to guitar, the absolutely best thing you can get as a producer is a player who can play super-tightly in time. Listen to Björn's doubles in mono - they almost sound like a single performance, it's insane.
You can't really do quad-tracking with a player who isn't in time with himself.
James Hetfield makes 4 guitars sounds like one
Had the pleasure of working with Mike on a few records. Dude is a genius with a heart of gold! Truly remarkable human being.
Mike is great to work with, the tones he can get!
That amp rack/patch bay is awesome! Very cool. Great guitar as well.
Great video, I love it really great 🤟🏼
True pros. Mike's setup is amazing. Just old skool 57 and a 421 on that cab -- was surprised he mics center of the cone. Love that tone.
Inspiring...feels like home.
I think he meant to say center of the dust cap (didn’t look anywhere near the cone, let alone center) which is a bit odd for a 57 and 421 so I’m guessing the amp is probably pretty dark in the room.
@@louderthangod Meant to say dust cap -- but yeah, maybe the amp is dark. The cab is a late 70s Marshall with the blackbacks -- I have a 4x12 from '77 with the same speakers. I am gonna test the center of the dush cap method myself.
It always confuses me when I hear center of the cone because I’ve heard some people mean dust cap and others mean halfway between dust cap and edge of the speaker. I wish they put a light on the grill so we could actually see for sure haha
He mics dead center, period.
Great vid!!
Love what was said @11:27 about the player having such a huge part of the sound. It can be such a hassle trying to get another players tone. Some will even go so far as to buy the exact rig and still not be close to getting it. The truth is no one can sound like you. Every guitaist has their own unique touch. So awesome.
Thanks Because Make Me Learning Again An Again All About Guitar Recording And Superb Engineering Producer And Legend Guitarist In Flames
Recording albums on an epiphone ! Awesome
Laughing my ass off that the album was actually recorded with an Epiphone. :-) Sounds awesome!
He plays them live too. They are a match to his fav Gibson.
Bjorn is so fucking cool, he actually donates his old guitars and gear that he doesn't use as much to local music programs in Sweden.
that was awesome is there more?
Love Bjorn's style
Fuk yeah that’s a proper guitar setup! Love it! 🤘😜
i still listen to clayman. cool to see Bjorn still at it.
Original Clayman lives in my head rent free
I remember when in flames were on a Metallica tribute album in the mid 90s. They definitely stood out on the cd but never really thought they would end up being what they are today.
It is. Definitely.
Is there anymore video of this?
Amazing gtr player, he is a gtr machine !!
Did Joe Rickard mix this record? That's a pretty stacked line up as far as engineers.
Yep!
What did they mean by triple quad at the end? Quad tracking? Tripling the quad tracking? I need to know 😮
Triple Quad referring to the 3rd and 4th guitar tracks of the same part. Standard is usually at least 2 tracks (called a double), and then you're essentially adding another double to that, so a triple and a quad.
@@coltonrudd ah triple and a quad makes so much more sense. Thank bud
@@daigengtr6806 You bet! I’d also add too, these are panned L and R which is why they’re done in sets of 2. So let’s say you have quad tracked guitars, that means you’ll typically have 2 panned L and 2 panned R.
I think a big takeaway here is to know your kit.
Are they really editing pitchy guitars to make them sound in tune? What is this sorcery and can you teach me? 😮
You can use melodyne to tune pitchy notes and a lot of producers do, but a lot don't. If we don't have something already on youtube i'll see if there's something in the fast tracks we can throw up soon about it.
Hahaha that’s great, we always did, even before Celemony, tape speed or stretching could allow changes in pitch, check out Mutt Lange description of DLs Photograph cut
Still drives cover bands crazy trying to tune in 440 and of course that affects overall song length over tight LP space, ahh the old days
Songs made like U2. The first time it's played with everyone at the same time when its finally recorded and they are going on the road.
Is this from a particular NTM or course?
It's Howard Benson's How It's Done course
@@somegingerdude8110 thank you!
anyone else notice the huge stack of $1's on the mixing board?
My favorite part is the lack of lame AxeFx modelers, nothing but the real deal
I own 7 great heads and combos but that rack is sick!
What is triple quads?
Another pair of rhythm guitar tracks
@@somegingerdude8110 I understand the concept of quad but triple quad?
I think they’re meaning like triple AND quad so the 3rd and 4th guitar tracks that will go over the 2 main “doubled” guitar tracks
Its number off guitar tracks, he says "Triples or Quads" which may refer to having left, center, and right tracks and quads might be two on left and two on right side
this...just to see this workflow inspires me as a one-man army who picked a guitar this year and decided all my sounds will be guitar driven. i got tired of dealing with VSTs and quite frankly they were too easy and too clean for my liking. I like challenges, I like sounds that make me stop and ask, "Did I play that?" I know sometimes these studios don't realise how much they unintentionally help us novices who are just trying to get their sound right but I feel like this video was uploaded specifically for me. I have never been more optimistic than i am now about my guitar records now that I have watched this. Funny enough I also use just my cheap fender to do the leads, rhythms, harmonies, and accents/responses. Of course, I have a dedicated bass guitar for the bass sound😂😂😂.
It’s great he overcame the stroke to speak semi well.
Who is Paul?
Paul Decarli
Nasty question... Ia this the same team which re-recorded Clayman? It was baaaad.
This is a great video, though.
I dunno if I would say Genius, Genius is Gran who does everything himself IMO th-cam.com/video/ZBKIUi1eG1A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dTk05ENPgrdytbwA CC is English! Buckle up!
I think we should stop over editing tracks. I think either play it tighter or relax your expectations and go with the flow and embrace the slightly sloppy playing….
Yep, agree, that's why reign in blood is such a classic, you can hear mess ups, off timing, and basically a band trying to play as fast as humanly possible without going over the edge, on a side note I wonder if Jester Race was done like this
First!
Oh look, he mics right on the center of the cone and doesn’t look stupidly dark murky modern tones that plague todays mixes! Weird!
He is not picking hard enough... you guys know it! That's why it has that overly distorted, compressed thing, that is the only way to get that saturated without any pick attack. Its definitely a lot of what makes it sound the way it does. If you dig in harder you can use WAY less gain and still sound massive. Yes I know this inflames. Its pretty obvious what makes his sound is his lack of pick attack.
Look at his DI tracks! I am so disappointed that damn clayman tone, we couldn't get it cause we picked to hard....
Perfect example here, fit for an autopsy guy covering episode 666. You can hear the thing chunk cause he is picking hard

Cool God but nothing new.
🫤... genius? .... 😅 ehh. Boring
