Hi Friends,
I was fortunate to be able to spend all of last week down at Hybrid Studios recording Robert Jon & the Wreck. I had a great time and the recordings came out sounding fantastic!
In this video, I give a breakdown of my recording setup for the week. I show the microphones, mic placement, and outboard gear that I used for this week-long session.
I hope you enjoy the video and please leave lots of comments!
Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Thanks again.
Produce Like A Pro Your Videos are by far the best on the net. Very informative yet vocalised in lamens terms for any beginners out there. Thank you to you Warren..... Respect my friend
Wow thank you ever so much Lenny! That's very kind of you!
Thanks very much Lita!
Your videos are all excellent Warren. I've learned a lot. And a big thank you for not having a loud intro/outro jingle like so many TH-cam channels. It's perfect the way it is.
How could I have been overlooking this video, for so long... I've been working on 3 of their mixes now and I love the songs and those tracks have some nice challenges for educational purpose
All my friends agree, Warren is just a pleasant personality to have on these type of videos. Usually the people making these can be rather smug, or dealing with low end gear. Here we get to see a modest, informative person with gear some of us haven't been able to be around. Love it
Hi +Danny P Aw shucks thanks ever so much! I really appreciate your kind words!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
This is a fantastic video. Its great and inspiring to see a top gun engeneer at work and even better, when explain how and why he uses the gear. Thanks Warren.
These drums sound amazing!!!
Great video Warren. It's great to see every instument setup for band recording. Thanks s lot.

Sounds great!
Warren, Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge!! Keep it up..Harry
Marvelous :D Thanks Warren!
I actually used the taping a condenser and dynamic together for a hi-hat on some recordings yesterday. Used a bass drum mic on a Tom too and it sounded really good
Thanks for another great show and tell Warren, sdc Beyer MC930's have become favorite here for a few tasks.
Hi +Hooknline Productions Thanks very much! Love Beyers! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

the next one. i will enjoy it.
Hi +Fernando Saxo Thanks very much! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Guitar player in the amp room Yeah baby!
Great video mate. Appreciate the amount of time you take to make these for us! Also I love the 184 for live OH on drums. But agree a little weak in the studio. 84 is nice though!
Hi +David Iliyn Haha yes a very famous Producer/Engineer once told me that he uses them as door stops! Honestly they are ok, but the KM 53/54 and 56 are some the best mics ever made and I wish Neumann would reissue those! That would be amazing! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
thanks for sharing sir....lot to learn from u...
Hi +Pritam Debroy You're most welcome!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Great Video! Great Place. Thanks for all the info!
Hi +Emmanuel “Nolo” Bortolin Thanks very much!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I thoroughly enjoyed this. you do realize, we the hobbyists, are living through these experiences through your videos. I feel like a 3 year old watching a Disney movie. all the equipment is glittered. lol. thank you
+Tavares Project Ditto
Hi +Tavares Project Aw shucks thanks very much! I am truly blessed to be able to do this for a living! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hi +Raytheon Orion Thanks very much! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Enjoying every minute of your videos... all of them. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. Greetings from Israel.

Great Warren...!! Thanx Again!!
Thank you +MozTV! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Great job as always btw
Thanks +Neil Barbu! I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Love to see that you use the technique to get feedback from the amp by letting the guitar player be in the same room while tracking. Brings a lot of life to the sound imo.
One question: when you talk about the KM:s you have the phase aligned to the snare. Why the snare and not the bass drum?
Best, Phil
Warren! I love your work, and i eat up al the content you put out....i am a studio owner of quite meager means and we make fantastic records..... Return To Zero Charleston SC
Hi +Todd Brown Wonderful!! Great to hear you're making great records!! Congrats! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren!
Great video! New camera? Looks sharp! And for the record, I love hearing your opinions, what you like and more importantly what you don't like about gear, techniques and other things, so please, don't refrain from stating them! Thanks Warren!
Hi +noisesoundtonevibe Haha same camera! Thanks, I don't like being negative, but I agree it's important to give everyone the proper information and not hold back! There is so much great gear out there now that's affordable! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Just great, thanx :-)
Hi +eX Cess Thanks very much! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hi Warren! I really learn a ton about mixing and recording from your videos! Although I do everything in my home studio, it's great watching you explain to us how you used the outboard gear on recording. Great content on the blog, too! Can you give us a list of inexpensive mics and outboard gear that you recommend? It will definitely be a treat for us home studio folks. Thank you and I look forward to the mix breakdown of this recording!
Hi +Ish Santos So glad to be able to help! Yes there's a whole bunch of stuff I like! I am going to do a 'resources page' very son. Please make sure you're on the email list and you'll get the info! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hi Warren! Love the in studio videos! Wanted to make a video request. I see you mention so many great microphones by their number and show what they're used for and it looks and sounds awesome in a mix. Unfortunately, when I see you using all those mics on a kit or the room etc. it looks and sounds great but I don't know a. The microphone you're talking about and b. the model number. Also I'm not sure what it is about, let's say a U67, as an overhead, that gives the drums a great sound as an overhead mic (from an EQ aspect). So for those of us still in the early stages of developing our ears sonically could you do a video listing all the name brand microphones, Neumann, AKG, Rode, Beta, Shure, etc., all their different models and what their characteristic sound really is? I understand that's a lot but it's all because I want to learn. Thanks is for uploading such informative content!
Brilliant. Great you are so honest and open. Have you done any videos explains phase and how u measure the room mics? Did u use a click? Have you done any vids on your use of drum replacement? Samples? Beat detective and similar?
Thank you.
Tops
really great video wazzer, in depth and useful in the sense that its similar to the kinds of recording me and im sure many others are doing! (i.e. short amount of time, 5 - piece rock band) It was good hearing your opinions on mics too, its good to know. Keep the great vids coming. Cheers :)
Hi +Alex Hurr Haha thanks very much! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Wazza!!
Yamaha's "original" / genuine bespoke Subkick has been discontinued for several years now. Although several retail alternatives popped up (the MoonMic comes to mind).
On my latest session (first few takes of one of the songs from my band's upcoming album), i went with Ryan's tip (from Creative Sound Lab), and used the 12" from a guitar combo, within the combo itself, as a "kick out", and it turned out quite nice :)
Hi +KhronX Thanks for the info! Yes I grew up using old speakers for the sub kick the NS10 speaker was only for the wealthy musicians which I certainly was not! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I know what you mean about splashing out for new amps most of my amps are/were preloved.
I got a new Fender Bassbreaker 15 last year after the Peavey Valveking 20 I'd bought kept letting me down, most unreliable.
BB15 is a great little all-rounder, not your typical Fender sound either. A bit more "British" when it's driven.
THAT Bassbreaker prompted me to give the Laney IRT Studio 15 a go. Flexible valve amp, low Watts. Found a nice used one on Reverb.
Touted as a "Metal" style amp, it gives good all round tone if you back the gains off AND provides three channels. All great when looking for a tone for a track.
Neumanns - Visiting SARM West one time, early 90s, I expressed surpised at seeing a U87 Inside a kick drum. Big money, rough job and all that.
Engineer laughed and said it was the best for the job, great sound and the highest Spl level handling mic they had.
Couldn't argue with that. Science and stuff.
Beautiful studio. Interesting kit. I have and love sonor prolite maple drums and sonor Benny greb sig snare. Toms are just tone heaven and the snare is 13 but cuts as good as my 14 grestch alumunimum. I use Sabians hhx line, it's a higher up line than the AA line and our a lil darker but they still cut and have a lot of character. If you get a chance check try out Sabians hhx line. The hhx evolution for crashes and ride and hhx stage hats on hats. Let me know what you think, darker than AA but very versatile and still cut. Love the lewitt drum mic pack you advised me about. The 640 Rex dual element kick mic is great too, dynamic n condensor in one mic. Thinking about getting large diaphragm mics for overheads but the lct 340s sound rly good and in my small drum room I heard its best to stay with small condensors? How do you like distressors as compressors for drums? I'm thinking of getting the stereo one they offer.
Hi Warren, as always love the video and your TH-cam channel. Getting into drum sound, I see you often use the standard sm57 on snare drum. Have you ever tried the Dynamount or something comparable to get that perfect snare drum recording? Thanks
Hi +Ryan Wiesner I haven't tried the Dynamount! That sounds very cool! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Super nice gear,I
could get along with you.hahah nice picks
Great video, I was left wanting to hear a bit of the recordings!!!
Keep these videos coming, it'd be nice though, to get to see the actual artist performing, however I guess they wouldn't like it.
Hi +chungaleta1234 Thanks very much! Yes we have some footage of the artist performing and there will future videos with the mixes and performances as well!
must subscribe.
your a badass sir.
Aw shucks thanks very much Batah! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
G'day WH another great vid :) cheers mate
Hi +Kirky Drums Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Thanks for this vid Warren! Very interesting and informative. The resonator over sub kick? Have to try it out.
You're very welcome my friend!!
Hi Warren, I came back to this vid, as I'm developing a portable rig for recording, and there's some great info here to draw inspiration and ideas from. Obviously the studio you're in, here, is a proper studio, with separate rooms and integral wiring systems, which allow you to work with amps mic'd remotely. That aspect has also been useful, however, I'm wondering; how to best set up a room in a situation when you only have one room to work with, but you still want to track a band live. How would you approach the layout for the room, vis-a-vis the placement of amps, drum kit, vocals, etc to reduce bleed etc?
Thanks for the great vid, Wazza. I feel very reassured by the fact that you use a small amp for guitars. I've got a small Valvetronix AD15VT Vox amp and I've always thought it sounded great just miked up with a 57 on the front. It's not massively loud (the neighbours are still talking to me) and it didn't cost me much. I've recorded with Line 6 emulators and big Marshall amps but I've never felt anything has quite come as close to getting the sound that I want. Thanks again! :-)
Haha thanks +Tim Ball! I love a good AC15! Fantastic sound!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks WAZZA!!
Is this the session where you recorded good lovin'? I just finished mixing that song. Sounds amazing.
Hi Warren, great video! I always have wondered how much in the box and out the box EQ you use? I know it will always depend on the outboard gear you have, but lets say you have a few great EQ's like we have in this video. Would you use the outboard gear to get the EQ you want and permanently record it it? Or do small Eq setting and do most of it in post? Same with compresiion. Thanx in advance. Have a great week!
Would really like to see you try out the new Aston mics in the studio. British made, and sounds just a little too good to be true!
They're getting mega praise all over the shop but a thorough going over by yourself would certainly settle it.
Hi +Ray Syed Definitely! I am going to try them out very soon! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Great video as always! If you need to run a long guitar or bass cable somewhere, have you tried Radial SGI Studio Guitar Interface System? It helps to not lose the top end with longer cables.
Hi +dreamtheater81 I love Radial Products!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I just came home from recording a full band with no breaks for 10 hours and saw this video. That washed out look in your eyes, I feel you Warren..
By the way how often do you think is optimal for musicians to take breaks when tracking?
Hi +BoilingJD haha yes that was the end of a very very long week! Lot's of 12-15 hour days! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hello Warren,
many thanks for all your videos ! I do not count how many hours I spent looking a them instead of working !!! ;-)
But by the way did you ever give the result of your mixing competition of the "Blame It on the Whiskey" track ?
Bests,
Vincent.
Hi +Vincent Kessler Thanks glad you enjoyed the video! Winner to be announced ASAP, I've been overwhelmed with work and have a handful left to review! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
My girlfriend says she hears your voice more than mine. Should I be jealous?
Hi +Sins Of The Sister Haha my wife says I don't talk enough, so imagine that's a common issue for us men! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
+Produce Like A Pro I guess. Still....I am watching you!
Hi +Sins Of The Sister Haha! I'm very sure you're extremely fine! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
thanks for this video very instructive (sorry my english)
Hi +Fred Gómez Thank you very much! I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Jet as in the "Get Born" album?? If so, that's awesome!! I love that CD! :)
Hi +californiafeeling Yes I just did Pro Pro with the band but it was a lot of fun! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Very interesting thanks warren. You very rarely mention RODE mikes is there a reason for this? I Mike my drums using Rode and an assortment of other cheaper mikes.I would like to see you mike up drums with just Rodes, is this possible? Please consider!.....Keep up these marvellous vids. Thank you Warren.
Hi Warren.
You mentioned how the long GTR cable runs cause a lot of high end loss. Have you ever come across any means of having a balanced connection for the majority of a cable run to retain the high end?
I've seen some 1:1 unbalanced to balanced (and vice-versa) boxes that might do the trick, but I don't know if there would be an issue with the impedance of a GTR or large signal of a speaker cable.
Have you ever done or know anyone who does something similar?
I imagine that it would be particularly useful for long speaker cable runs when you have the head in the control room and cab elsewhere.
Also, how were the hi-hat mics placed? It looks like their angled over the hat pointed slightly off centre, but might that not give the "washy" sound from the air when the hat opens and closes?
Warren,on the bass drum resonator "Ludwig" did you ever try it with the front head off?
Another great video from you warren, l just wanted to know how many inputs went into pro tools for that session and also am always scared of committing eq's and colouring to print as l always feel it's hard to undo that perfect take if there's a problem, is it not easier just to have the raw takes and apply what you want once it's in the DAW? Keep up the great work.
Hi +sid Vision I understand! For me I've been doing this such a long time that I know what I want to hear and I like to get it as close as I can first time! But I agree if you're still learning it's best to slowing integrate committing to tape! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I really really really mind to have a 90° angle between the top and bottom mics and all the mics pointing always the same direction....
What's your opinion on Rode microphones such as the NT5's, I use them all the time in my studio, and I think that they work great on spaced pair rooms and on acoustic guitar on twelfth fret. Thanks for the awesome info and great vids.
HI +Mark Loving I have heard great things about them but haven't yet tried them! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Awesome should try a Sandhill 6011a to record a guitar cab
Hi +darryl weller Thanks for the tip! I'll look at them! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Did you track the lead vocal live w/the band? Thanks!
Hey, Warren!
Quick question (that you might have answered and I just missed it): Are you mixing this RJ&TW record? I'd love to hear/see a mix breakdown video for one of the songs when it's all wrapped up!
Thanks for everything and YOU have a marvellous time recording and mixing!
Hi +DontWorryImAPilot Yes I am mixing and I will definitely do a breakdown of the album! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hey Warren! Thanks for the video I really enjoyed it. I have a question: The 87 between the 2 bass drums (main and resonator) is in figure-of-8 pattern?
Hi +Nikolaus Rondelis The 87 is just in Cardioid pointed at the front head of the 1st kick. Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Warren, I'm curious how the peluso 47 compares to a neuman TLM 103? Is that Peluso good for most purposes or is it mostly a guitar amp mic for you? thanks for the videos, they're great.
Hi +Robert Ledet For a 'relatively' inexpensive option the Peluso 47 is pretty amazing! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Love it. I might have to try using a large condenser on the guitar cabs. Usually I just use an SM57 but I have few cheap condensers that might be interesting to hear on them.
I am guessing you re-did the vocals after recording the band? Did any of the scratch vocals bleed onto the drum mics? Specifically the overheads?
Hi +Steven Butler Yes we did redo the vocals, there was a lot of bleed, but also I didn't want Bobby singing 100 times! So he only sang a little for cues where needed to keep the band and the song focused! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Cool, I was wondering about that. I am going to be recording a full band here soon (Finally have enough inputs) and have been debating about how exactly I want to do it. Part of me wants to just not worry about bleed at all and see what happens. Maybe it will sound cool.
Hi +Steven Butler Great stuff! Maybe somewhere in between, some good isolation but still enough bleed to feel live! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Great video. It always got me faszinating to watch ppl setting up a whole band in a studio. How much time did you spend on it?
Best, dk
Hi +dk rocfam Great question! It was around 6-7 hours for complete set up of the instruments, mics, level checks, getting tones, we loaded in around 10am and were tracking the album at 4pm. We probably could be much quicker next time, but we spent a long time choosing which drums, guitar amps, mics etc to use. We were there for a week so there was more time for care and we didn't have to hurry! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
keep on doin! awesome =)
Hi +dk rocfam Thanks very much!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
If u had to pick 1 vocal mic from peluso. What would u choose. ?
wow!!!!!!....but will the band sound even close to that when they play live??
Hi Warren, thanks for the great video! How are you synching up his backing vocals? did he use some kind of sync to record at the right spots on his laptop DAW?
Hi +Ben Ludik For the BVs I gave him a stereo file and it spotted into his session and then he sang and we exported the files and they spotted into place! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Oh, I was wondering :
You seem to be sticking to the D112 for Kick Drum.
I used to have one (stolen unfortunately) and liked it, and had a chance to use a Shure Beta 52 which I liked very much too, although they're different...
Since I need to grab one pretty soon, I really hesitate between theses 2 models...
What do you think?
I also was wondering how you kept focused on such a week of recording, not lose concentration or get carried away?
I assume the band came in real prepared but these are long days of recording... How do you handle that part?
Hi +eX Cess Great comment! Yes I will use the D112, Audix D6 or Shure Beta 52, all work great for a more 'rock' kick! I then blend it to suit with the other mics! Maintaining focus obviously can be exhausting when there's a lot of people, we started off with a few guys taken photos, but after 3 days we sent them home. But I've been blessed to be able to do this for a while now so it is easier now. Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hello Warren, thank you for sharing your set up, love the info... i am also a big believer and supporter of the idea that gear is not all that much of an issue... proper use of what is available each time is more of the case... experimentation and creativity... Ampeg is the way to go for that rock bass sound, i could not agree more with you!!!
I love Geffel mics... i own a MV200 and it sounds fantastic on Ac gtrs and mandolins etc...
What is you opinion about the SSL pre amps, it seems to me that you are not that much of a fan... how come?
And one last question, what happened with the mix contest of Blame iron the whiskey?
even though i have subscribed to your site, and mailing list (i've saved your address in my contacts also), i don't get any emails...
Again thanks a lot, you ROCK!!
Hi +Tassos Ioannidis I agree!! I love Geffel Mics, the CMV563 is a magical mic, one of the greatest ever made!! I use the SSL pre amps, sparingly, they sound good, but I usually reserve my SSL for mixing! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Liking the API! Have you tracked through the Uad Api Vision with an Apollo? Does it compare?
Hi +Jesper Eklund Great question! No not yet! Looking forward to comparing it! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Warren, Great info as always. where are your Treo 812 cfm Monitors?
This is an old video from a different studio
@@Producelikeapro Understood. I am just joking with you. I see you have different Monitors which are all good monitors. I like the ADAM subs in the studio.
Hopefully when you come to our studio we can discuss some cool things. Cheers
Use dem 4k listenback pres on dem rooms man
Hi Warren, Great video Can I ask? In your studio you said that you are using your SSL Console for summing, do you send separate tracks, or Sub mixes of drums guitars ,bass etc. Also I get some phasey comb filtering on my thickened vocals (Your Trick), When coming back into the desk, Latency issues is there a rule to this or do I need to nudge things around to bring them back into phase.
Note this project was first mixed ITB then I decided on the desk summing. Probably should have started with the summing inserted early on then latency would be factored in from the beginning.
P.S. I’m defiantly joining the Accademy as soon as Andy Wallace finishes a tutorial on MWM.
I, we owe you a lot. Thanks
Hi +TimeMarchesOnBand Fantastic question! Are you running an HHDX System? If so you shouldn't experience any latency issues. I look forward to seeing you in the Academy! We are upping our game over there! Lot's of fun! Check out my Hybrid Mixing Videos to see how I combine my SSL with my DAW th-cam.com/video/mIshCKxGekI/w-d-xo.html Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
In my home studio I’m using Logic Pro X into a behringer X32 with the Midas Pre amps it’s our bands live mixer it sounds great. There’s a separation that happens that I don’t get with summing ITB. The console has some time delay features for FOH to stage alignment and I think that was causing my latency problems on just a particular vocal track, Thanks for your help, Till next time :-)
Hi +TimeMarchesOnBand Midas Pres are amazing sounding!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Have you tried the Beyerdynamic mc930s?
Hi Warren.
Thank you for this great video.
What do you prefer? mic-》comp-》pre amp or mic-》pre amp-》comp?
greetings from germany
peter
Hi +Pe ter Mic - Pre - Comp to DAW/Tape! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Great video! Was the API 3124+ padded? (I have one coming my way soon).
Hi +Andreas Gisler Yes the pads are quite necessary on drums! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
In general do you prefer a small diaphragms or a large diaphragms on drum overheads? I only ask because I've seen you use both.
Great video, thanks!
Hi +Jeremy Leff Great question! In my small room I'm fine with small diaphragm condensers, but when I get to go to larger studios I love being able to use high quality large diaphragm mics! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hello, beautiful studio. What was the total cost of all of your equipment
Hi Warren, I love those videos! Another question: I saw this guitar tuner on the monitors and I also saw them in your control room. Why is it lying around like this? Is this so heavily used?
Hi +Moritz Schmidt Great question! Yes we leave the Tuner up all the time so we can monitor the tuning on Bass ad Guitar while tracking. Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
+Produce Like A Pro Thanks! That was quick :) Actually this is a very good idea. I always do this by ear but sometimes it's hard to keep concentrated.
Hi +Moritz Schmidt Yes the Korg Tuner is a huge favourite with Studios here! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Great tracking setup Warren. I have a question. Have you checked out Mojave mics? They have a U67 and a U47 clone, for $1200 and $900 respectively. I heard some youtube reviews and they sound pretty good. Cheers from Argentina!
Hi +Juan Germano Great stuff! Thanks for the tip, a few guys I know use them and love them! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Interesting video. Do you record the MIDI from the Nord?
Hi +drhoorya Great question! Yes I often do record the MIDI! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hey Warren, may I suggest: If you take 20 christmas lights, the small incandescent ones, and put them inline with the Roadie speaker, they will glow or light depending on how high the volume and how many lightbulbs. The less lightbulbs, the more they light. Now the fun part, remember all optical compressors have a lightbulb inside that lights?, well this design not only burns the current, but reacts with a variable signature in alignment to the standard output of a small amp, in turn, getting rid of the volume, but leaving the tone and distortion, to a point, where the volume knob becomes a simple distortion knob. So if you're in a bedroom, or in an apartment, you now have the fix for your parents or neighbors volume problem. Is it 100%, no, but is it amazing, I would say well, its cool. So in summary, how do you turn your $75 Epiphone valve amp into a tone machine, with dampening like an la-2a, that atomically tames the harsh volume that's been driving you crazy?... well, your mom's been throwing it away for the past 20 years,...it's the old christmas lights....and yes, you can add more for big amps, but be really careful. Don't get hurt, cause high voltage is a real killer, so safety glasses and gloves for all electronic hacking. Switching tracks, you should try a Variac on everything there. You can vary the voltage on anything analog in your studio especially the preamps and gutiar tube all-analog amps. The lower the voltage, the softer it gets, and yes, it should work on tube mic's too.. Remember, in the 50's, in the US, it was'nt 125v, it was much, much lower. And, most of the circuits you're working with all originated in the 50's and 60's, but they were just repurposed and rebranded. enjoy, thx, scotty
Hi +princetonaudio.com Yowsa! Thanks for all of that info!! Tons of it there! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
+Produce Like A Pro : No problem, I forgot to note, there's a small box called a Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator. This may help you with your long cable run acting like a toilet for your high frequencies. Again, no expert here, but long light guage cables is badness, and acts like a high frequency eliminator. The CL-1 may mask that problem, but the tradeoff is it does change the sound. If you switch to a tube mic setup, that problem should go away. So there it is, just get a 1/2 dozen U67's and a 1/2 dozed U47's and all of your filtering problems will be gone,..along with your car, house, dog, etc.
Hi +princetonaudio.com Haha yes I'm just going to go to studios that have that kind of massive mic collection! But the Peluso's sound great and are a lot more affordable than the most clones and of course a vintage one!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hi Warren i got a question i have to fine tune the kick drum on the song key? i mean if a song is on A i have to looking the frecuency of that note and fine tune my kick drum on that frecuency ?? Thanks for all Warren
I hope you be well
Hi +Bryan Fonseca Yes I suppose you could, but I've never done with kick, buy I have done that with snare and toms quiet a few times! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Great video as always, Warren! I wish you've elaborated a little bit on the Hammond Organ with a Leslie cabinet, as it makes every mix sound better in my opinion. ;) And I agree on the low-wattage amps sounding nasty (in a lovely way, of course) when cranked up.
P. S. Gibson Firebird is the coolest Gibson guitar model ever. ;)
Hi +Finn V. Arthur Agreed! I love Hammonds! Yes I will definitely do more videos that involve a Leslie Cab! Thanks for letting me know! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
+Produce Like A Pro If you like Hammonds and don't mind a bit of 70's "prog" in a 21st century "outfit", look up Riverside - they're a Polish band.
Or perhaps "were" - their guitarist passed away last month, just weeks short of his 41st birthday :(
KhronX Aww, that's a stunning band. Piotr was one of my biggest influences when it comes to guitar playing (his Gilmour-esque solos are unforgettable). I'm fairly certain they will continue making music soon enough.
Hi +KhronX I LOVE Prog!! We were about to make a record with Keith Emerson, so sad to hear of his passing! I will definitely check out 'Riverside' thanks for the tip!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hi +Finn V. Arthur I will definitely have to check them out! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Warren how do you deal with mic spills if you have a full band recording together? It looks like you had drums, vocals, bass (guitars in the a separate booth I realise?!). How do you do it? I never quite understood that. Thx a lot I really appreciate it!
Hi +Lucretious2006 Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Every situation is different, some times I use a lot of baffling, sometimes I like the bleed! Every song, every band is different! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
You don't care for the KM-184s; how about the KM-84? I always liked those for ac gtr and OH (as opposed to Shure SM-81s). Thoughts?
Hi +Benjamin Richards I agree the KM84 is a better mic than the SM81 in those applications! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Warren, big question! I'm curious WHEN and HOW you dial in Gain, EQ, and Compression (while on the way in).
Do you do it with the players and have them do a few practice runs of the songs? While they're doing that you change parameters? Do you have an assistant who, on the day you set up, "test" each channel?
Hi +Jacob Richter Great question! I will EQ and compress to correct issues and also it's to commit to a sound so I can then move my productions forward and not over produce! I hope that makes sense? Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
+Produce Like A Pro not quite what I was looking for but thank you for the extra knowledge. I literally mean WHEN do you do it? While the band is tracking? Will you make adjustments mid take? WHEN do you adjust the parameters of the sounds you commit to?

Hi +Jake Kricket Great question! I set it up as I get tones and of course adjust if needed during tracking! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
