I really enjoy the content you’re putting out on here, I’m just curious about this Andy Sneap Pultec thing because I’ve never heard of him doing that before, and I’d like to think I’ve studied his processes fairly deeply at this point.

I've heard Glen (Spectre Sound) and a few guys who commented on my last Terry Date guitar EQ video associate this technique with Sneap, and figured it was from the old forum days... it's actually very similar to the Bob Power kick drum EQ (more of a hip-hop thing), works well on bass too. If I mis-attributed it, apologies, but it's already been linked to him by others as well.

I've been doing this for a bit myself - did the Sneap trick for years, then learned the Terry Date approach (thank you to this channel!) for guitars. Funny, as I'd been doing that type thing to Kicks/Snares for a while, but hadn't thought about guitars. I really appreciate the explanation of how a Pultec works, too. Very concise. Cool stuff man

Is the recording studio’s function to capture a live performance and reproduce it faithfully? Or is that the point of a live performance? 😃
@JPHenryAudio
@JPHenryAudio 13 сағат бұрын
i'd say that varies with the session, genre, and artist... some have their act together and just need to be captured, while others need all the smoke & mirrors to hide the truth of reality. Lots of others are someplace in between those two extremes.

@ I view it as two totally different pallets and canvas. Like a painting vs a photograph. Live traditionally was more raw and loose. It was widely accepted that the live performance was different from the studio version. Usually worse except for people like Bob Seger. Turn the page studio sucks and live it’s an anthem! Nowadays bands are sweetening their live performance with autotune, backing tracks and extra musicians to ironically sound more like the album. 😃

Awesome, as always! A technique I don’t recall ever seeing before to make almost any compressor the most explosive room or parallel comp involves a gate a transient designer. I do this inside Console 1, so it’s a bit smoother (the Shape section has gate and td in one section). The Shape into the Comp. Get your compressor slamming (I prefer the Zener-Bender in Limit mode…could also be achieved with Waves TG12345 channel…cheap enough option). Add some punch to prevent the transients from getting so smeared. Then control the amount of explosiveness with the gate. It’s a sound I could listen to on a drum bus all day. Mix in 30% and 👌🏻

I have yet to find a streaming service that has turned the volume of my mastered songs down when they get distributed and they are LOUD!! It's a myth, perhaps even a conspiracy to sabotage indie artists chances to compete.

It has not ended, check out any modern rock mix from Alge or Cervini and many others and you'll hear massive clipping and distortion and incredibly loud mixes and all those bands are top of the charts. The myth of LUFs is probably ruining your chances of competing against the big boys so don't worry about it because now that loud is here it is not going back to the way it was, ever, so make your masters loud. Some of my songs have been played a million streams on Spotify and they are loud and no digital distributor ever rejected the masters nor did the streaming services.

Incredble video! I've been playing with subtle chorus boosting post-bus comp along with hi-mid and high widening at the same time, and it's great but getting more slam could really add to it! ❤ Correct me if I'm wrong, but since there's no inserts on the pre-bus (it's just a VCA), that could be a PT master fader type track?

My guy, this is absolutely amazing stuff you've been posting as of late. Really great breakdown of Brendan's approach to room compression, which as you said, is a big part of his drum sound. With that in mind, I would love it if you could comment on how these room mic positions were setup during tracking. For both the stereo and FOK positions. How far from kit, how spaced apart the stereos are, how close to walls they were. Nulling out the kit? How far out from the kit was the FOK, how far from the ground? Anything, I'm sure, would help us nerd out even deeper in the best way possible and help folks nail that sound even better! Cheers.

@@JPHenryAudio cool, can def understand if you didn't track it.

By comment, or in a future vid, whichever you're feeling. Thanks for all the great posts.

hello!! great video. Though, I don't fully grasp the idea of two similar compressors getting the faster and slower stuff, since the 1176 is ultra-fast even in the slower attack setting, less than 1ms. Does the attack setting have a an effect on vocals? I think that the inout and the release is the one that makes the difference here. I don't know... what is your opinion?

@@greenberet84 if you listen to the section where I demonstrate each compressor individually, you’ll notice the difference in attack… the 2nd one (blue stripe) doesn’t sound great by itself, but contributes greatly when the first unit is engaged.

Great series of videos. You are every bit as good as a Brendan O'Brien, Andy Wallace, CLA/ TLA, etc. I had found your channel while searching for Andy Wallace's mixing techniques (big Andy fan ever since I kept on seeing his name pop up on what was probably every second or third cassette that I would buy back in the early 90's), and I love your sense of exploration. You have your go to plugins and settings, but are always looking to experiment with something that might work a bit better, and I admire your musicality in the sense that you're listening for the harmonics and spaces within the notes, rather than just putting the same plugins or settings on each part. Jack Joseph Puig is a big believer in those things contributing to a better sense of serving each song, and it was something that stuck with me ever since.

Thanks so much for making these most excellent and interesting videos! I really enjoyed listening to how the different compressors worked on the drums. Each one definitely has its own color it adds. Recently watched a 3 hour interview with Brendan which was fascinating. Listened to some of his mixes and holy crap, he gets some big sounds, so I’m really enjoying this series on Mr O’Brien. All the best to you and thanks again for taking the time to make these videos.

@@paulwinaudioltd sure, going from memory, it was Distressor first at 6:1, moderate attack & release (maybe 6 & 4 or so), HP on the SC, very transparent… then Manley following, SC at 200hz, and a parallel mult of the vocal thru an EQ with de-ess range boosted and everything else filtered out, into the other side of the Manley… set to stereo link, and the Elop will compress main vocal based on that ultra-emphasized “Ess” range like a sidechain EQ. Amount of compression was prob only 3-4dB or so. (The EQed mult never goes out to anything)

Thanks!! All depends on your overall kit balance... if you're getting enough transient attack & impact from the close mics, then you might want to use a fast attack on the room to minimize that, and a longer release to bring out the decay & ambience. If you're trying to pull more transient attack from your room mics, then yes a slower attack and faster release will likely be best.
