This was thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you. Purchased the course to get more insight. Lots of cool stuff in there. Took it upon myself to simulate the whole signal path “in the box”, using Reaper. Was certainly a brain exercise. 😂😂
Kinda wild that I've been doing something similar with JCM 800 and a 5150 (plug-ins anyway) and I accidentally got something pretty close to Bolt Thrower's Those Once Loyal tone. Really cool to see the pros doing something that I thought was just me goofing around with weird ideas.
Just getting that phase aligned is the biggest takeaway. I like that he uses Reaper. Pretty cool. I'm going to try and see how it visually holds up Logic. To anyone trying to get that 'sound' though..good luck, John Browne is a fucking beast of a player. This is a really cool approach, but It's his playing style and the riffs he writes that shines. Thanks for sharing this guys, especially with those of us who haven't yet drank the Kult Kool-aid. ;) 🤘
Heck yeah this is how I record guitars! I use a POWERED aby going into 2 amps, 2 cabs and usually ribbon and dynamic on each cab. (Different speakers of course) Love this approach do much.
I read somewhere that Adam Jones from Tool would send his guitar signal out through 3 different amps & cabs simultaneously to get such huge guitar tones on his last couple records.
Mike hedges did this when recording the manic at preachers. He used 3 - clean, break up and dirty and combined them during mixing in various proportions
I watched the documentary of Behemoth recording 'The Satanist' and they made a comment that you get some comb filtering recording two amps beside each other... but at that point it really doesn't matter because it just makes things sound more like you were actually standing in the room. Ever since that I just record multiple amps and cabs in my little room and I am pleased with the results.
An observation for a while now is that John found a gold mine in Adam and utilizes every pan and stream and gets the best out of Adam! Respect to Adam!
Ingenious! 😆🤘 Very refreshing to see real amps, cabs and mics being used in the traditional fashion. I think amp emulation plugins are excellent tools for writing and tracking demos, but when it comes down to the Final Take, plug in to the Real Deal! 🔥🔥 (That's how I do it anyway!) 🤪
You could skip the phase alignment issues in a couple of ways. You could take a line out from the effects send of each amp, mix them, then return to one of the amps. Both preamps playing through one power amp into one speaker. The other option is to record both amps into a pair of Torpedos, blend, then send to a third amp driving a speaker. (Or maybe just use a speaker IR.)
I use Reaper for quick scratch tracks and working out ideas, but I use Pro tools for all the heavy lifting on the final recordings. Also, Pro tools makes it's lightyears easier to send the mixing/mastering engineer if need be.
No engineer I’ve worked with actually wants PT sessions, chances are their routing system or plugins don’t match yours so they usually want wave files. So why work harder when you can use the daw that gets you results fastest?
Curious about Kohle Audio Kvlt.. do you have a course on the very basics of mixing and mastering on there that can help a bedroom musician like myself who mostly uses plugins and guitar pedals etc. without getting overwhelmed lol?
We have a mastering course with plugins only and we have quite a few “Mixing Rituals” where you can download multitracks, mix the song and watch the mixing tutorial of the original mixer. And there’s basic courses like “drum bus compression” or “EQing snares”. We’re constantly adding more content.
@@KohleAudioKult 😅 would be interested in how to run different ampsims on the same di track at the same time… is it comparable to a real dual amp setup?
"Tight enough for a submitting a demo,....if not for a record." -- lol,...I mean,...how much tighter can you get? Love this method - some work to set up but the results. The cheapo Behringer mixer in the signal path -- very interesting.
Apart from the principle of "get things right on the way in, rather than fixing it in post" - What differences are there (if any) between moving the mic position to achieve phase alignment V's slipping the track by a few milliseconds?
@@adamsteelproducer thanks for your response. Any reason why you didn't use the Mimiq pedal before or after the split to save time with double tracking? Kohler had a great video which suggests Mimiq may be the way to go from now on.
I have a mesa oversized cab from 2003. I have 2 of the v30s from that cab I kept. I have 2 dv77s 2 k100s. What should I load this cab with and what position top and bottom of cab should I put them in. I play mainly metal music. 7 string and 6 string drop tuned. Thanks. Your channel is awesome
Super Bock is very nice! Sabor autêntico! Man Marshall + Boogie is my favourite combination! Sometimes L + R mesa and just a track in the center with less disto using a Marshall!
As I understood from Kohle, 2 distorted guitar amps from the same di usually make a phasy mess. Anyone knows if there was anything else needed to prevent this, besides making sure the mics are the same distance?
The overdubs were using a mic splitter so we could get each channel separately for educational purposes, so we could show the sound of each separate mic. When we were recording the single, we didn’t do that and had nothing except a “mixed” track and a DI per side
@@adamsteelproducer Hi Adam. After you correct the phases and everything is ready, do you set all 4 mics to center to make all mono in the behringer? thank you so much
@@RenanBEreanSoundyes they’re all mono on the mixer, although if I wanted to I could pan them left and right to separate the two amps out- depends what you want your final result to be
I've got lost when he goes out from the beringer mixer to the compressors and into reaper because later on, we can see that he is recording 5 tracks (DI+4mics). Anyone can clarify?
Can't I just put a delay on one track to get proper phase allignement? That's what I did in the past when working with multiple mics. That way I can concentrate on getting the sound I want from a microphone first without thinking about phase and without having to go back and forth between control room and recording room. Or is there a drawback of that compared to adjusting the distance of the mic to the speaker like he did?
@@adamsteelproducer Okay, I didn't think about the summing you're doing with the Behringer mixer before the compression. In that case, it makes complete sense to me because you can't change the microphones' relation to one another anymore after that. Do you do the summing because of the compressor or is there another reason? If there wasn't an analogue compressor in the signal chain and you do the summing in the DAW, one could probably delay it there, right? I'm not advocating against setting up your microphones properly and then "fixing it in post". I'm just wondering about the tradeoff between adjusting the distance of the mic for the correlation's sake and getting the sound out of a microphone that you have in mind (which might need a different distance to the speaker than you'd need for a better phase correlation). I don't want to question your method but rather question the way I've been doing it. 🙃
It’s so crazy that people have stopped doing this. When you’re playing the electric guitar you’re playing the amp just as much. Besides the tone of an amp, they’re also respond differently to your picking dynamics, how heavily you mute a string with your palm, how the strings sustain and ring out together. You lose all of that when re-amping.
@@louderthangod And playing with feedback, which also makes the performance so much more "alive" and "rock n roll". I can't remember so many examples in post 2000 era except Tom Warrior Gabriel Fisher.
You can record your DI at different points in the signal chain. Most people put the DI first, before even the boost pedal, but you could even put it in the amps effects loop. You'll capture a lot of the interaction between the guitar and the amp, whilst giving yourself a bit of an insurance policy against a bad cab tone or dodgy mic placement. If you've got a Torpedo, you can also record the output of the power amp as well.
I think when guitarists say they don't use compressors they mean on the pedal boeard. Amost all guitars are compressed when mixing. At least they should.
@@KohleAudioKult You don't compress the final mix? If i'm doing a less distorted guitar I'll add a bus compressor to the guitars. I will use less if it's a distorted guitar. But I always add a compressor to the entire song onced mixed. I guess whatever works and your music sounds great as is so I guess that works for you.
Since when did “producers and guitar players not being good enough to get the sound right” become a thing that we just accepted? I 100% get beginners not being able to get it right so they send a di to the mix engineer to unfuck their tone. That’s fair. But this video speaks to a much larger group of people than that. Where they want the mix engineer to make production decisions. It is beyond frustrating to deal with as a mix engineer.
As part of the process. If all 3 are separate, player, producer, engineer, making sure the recorded tone is what the producer will accept, and what the player has in their head. As a player, it is really difficult coming to terms with the difference between in the room tone, recording tone, and live tone. As an engineer, capturing that special sound is difficult enough, but, making the correct adjustments for frequency responses. Having the mixer as part of the recording process makes things easier as far as getting it right at the source.
I have DI boxes (of course!) but in 20 years of recording bands in my parisian studio I think that I've almost never used them! My god! If a band is paying to come to a studio, just make it sound fantastic! Why mess around? Just record the best amp in the best way possible. Honestly, it takes a long time to dial in a great sound using VSTs and it never excites the musicians and drives them wild so why bother?
@@KohleAudioKult Good advice! Although it's absolutely incredible how damn rarely the DI tracks ever get used for anything. The DI tracks can help with guitar editing just as a visual aid because the transients stick out clearer. Apart from that, they just collect dust in the sessions!
It's all nice and dandy, but the engineer has listed a gear worth of close to like half a million dollars. Nobody has that kind of stuff and money laying around at home. Plus most of these are quite niche things, which are hard to come by. Even, if you were a millionaire, obtaining stuff like this would be a challenge. So it is more for educational and trivia purposes. You are not going to recreate something like this at home for sure. The reason why I love plugins is that they are very cheap compared to conventional gear. I love amps, cabinets and all the actual hardware and owned many of those. But even just a decent, mid level amp is around a thousand EUR/USD and that is not hi-end category at all. While a good plugin is 10 times less and it still sounds good enough.
Dammit! Is it really that hard to reproduce it in the digital domain? It sounds kinda superior to actual double tracking to my ears, at least for the role of a main rhythm guitar track. Actual double tracking still can play a role for accents and stuff. Hell, I want to do this.
Who's not afraid of blending amps, cabs and mics? 😇
