Did my man edit everything without listening once?

Me suenan todos iguales

THE '73 MARSHALL SAYS ITS A JMP RIGHT ON ITS FACEPLATE, WHY ARE YOU SAYING IT IS A JTM????

Great video my friend!

could u please do this for logic pro!!! tysm

So main vocals are sending to an Aux with CLA FX on it? Or is the plugin placed directly on main vocal track? Doubles aren’t processed thru CLA fx?

Jay, look up mk slicer, it is a free script for reaper that puts beat detective to shame. It will speed this up even more! I promise, you'll love it.

Is there a way to quantize items in varying percentages? Such as quantizing audio 75% closer to the grid instead of 100% to keep some feel in the performance?

I’ll be making a few of those gobos for around drums and such soon. What are your thoughts on adding the wood on the outside like that? What does the wood add/take away audio wise?

Hey Jay - nice work! You may have covered this in the video and I just somehow spaced it out, but if not, this might be helpful to your viewers: The SWS Extensions, which are free (the Reaper site links to it and it is highly recommended to install with Reaper) and it adds an absolute ton of useful features to reaper, includes a "Fill Gaps Between Selected Items (advanced)" action (which includes Beat Detective features like trigger pad and crossfade settings and some other bonuses). This means that in the Quantize Item Positions menu you don't have to bother with the overlaps, you can set things in a way where artifacts are far less likely and an additional bonus to that SWS extension is that it has an option to 'mark possible artifacts' which is an additional time saver. When you select that item there will be marker/memory locations placed anywhere the extension things there will be artifacts you might still have to adjust. Essentially, using the Dynamic Split, Quantize Item Positions and Fill Gaps Between Selected items (advanced) you gives you all the tools available as Beat Detective in PT and I believe same tools available in the Cubase equivalent. Kind of a bummer that they aren't all combined into one interface but as someone who has done a video on how to achieve the same ends using Logic, I can tell you this is much, much more convenient of a process than that. Couple other things worth noting and my apologies if they are in the video and I missed them: - When not quantizing drums in an automated way, I tend to leave auto-crossfades on but when I am using the methods covered in your video, I have that off and just use the Fill Gaps Between Selected Items in it's place. - I generally leave the Trim Content Behind Media Items When Editing option on. There is also a "Always Trim Content Behind Razor Items" option for those that enjoy the Razor editing. - As of Reaper 7 there is finally the ability to include editing as part of the track groups options. The old method (which you can still use) of grouping items as opposed to having track 'edit' groups was cool for some stuff but could turn into a mess with drums at points. - Reaper is very inexpensive and has a very generous trial period policy but I think it's worth noting that it's not free. That said, it's an excellent option for either a primary or secondary DAW. One of the things I love about it is the ease of customizing it so that the actions (keyboard commands/shortcuts) are almost completely identical to my other daily driver (Pro Tools). It takes some setting up but it pays off in being able to switch seamlessly between DAWs and not having to constantly recall the differing shortcuts. Anyhow, hope all is well and that this is helpful to some of your viewers!

I can definitely appreciate the speed of the mostly automated workflow, but i still prefer manual slip editing. I find i get better results that way, but more to the point, perhaps i am a glutton for punishment but i just enjoy the workflow. yes, it takes longer, but for some reason, its relaxing to me. Excellent video, by the way!

Great tutorial, thanks. I'm not an expert, but my understanding of the grouping process you used is that it is somewhat deprecated. I believe at some point in Version 6 they introduced the ability to manage Media/Razor Edit Lead & follow in the Track Grouping Matrix. If you select the desired tracks and go to Track > Track grouping > "track grouping parameters" (or hotkey Shift+G), you can create a dedicated track group to achieve the same thing. As long as it works, that's all that matters, but for me that Track Grouping Matrix makes it easier in a full production with multiple instrument groups.

My ADHD couldnt cope with this style of drum editing, I had to learn slip editing to manage 😂

Did this album not come out yet, or did it not get released digitally?

Awesome tutorial Jay! I'm a Studio One user and was thinking that if Reaper is better than SO maybe I could use it just for drum editing but from what I've seen in this video it's really similar(almost the same). It seems like Pro Tools and Cubase are still the best for drum editing 😅

Learning game audio now, and Reaper is basically the standard. Really need to dig in and learn it, but Cubase will always be home.

Thanks Jay! In Cubase do you normally do this with slicing out do you use phase coherent audio warp? Cheers!

Switched to reaper from pro tools (15yrs+) at the end of last year after they finally fixed the horrible take system and added pro tools-style playlisting. Absolute daw god-mode, been loving it. 1000% worth the learning curve. Vanilla reaper is crazy though, zooming and scrolling feel super weird but customization is its strong suit.

16:02 for anyone else watching, you can hold shift and mouse over the middle of the fade and click. It will let you drag both sides of the fade. For the Hihat sections you *might* be able to change to spectral edit view for the detection step... I haven't tried this yet but I'll open up some drum multitracks when I get the chance and see if it works. Amazing vid, thanks for making it!

Great explanation!

And not one mention of using NOS tubes for a real Marshall period correct sound. This is a HUGE oversight.

level match

fire video

Thank you

Holy shit yeah

The horns are barely discernible and are indistinguishable from the rhythm instruments in the mix. This does not reflect the musical function of horns.

Cool story! I've heard Mayday Parade did the same thing, they followed warped tour and just sell their cd's. Incredible passion amarite.

can we talk about that cage amp int he back. only seen two and both in Mass.

Yes, it's a great plug-in. I got it about 6 weeks ago, and now it works with Pro Tools' own ARA system.

Echoboy may be dated but it’s one of THE BEST plugins ever made. I wish Soundtoys would continue with an EchoBoy 2 or something. So useful on so many instruments.

Bauhaus used plexis? He used a HH VS amp. I seriously doubt that Sonic Youth used them either. And The Cure has anything but a plexi sound. So apart from this bullshit with the JMP/JTM everything about the users of the amps is completely off. Who are you trying to fool here?

hey! I have a shoe gaze type song I'm trying to get mix and mastered. what is the best way to contact you? thank you for your time

Does this work on other multi-mic'd stuff like guitar cabs?

Just realized you had a channel and am all for it! My band Anchorlines recorded with you a LONG LONG time ago, cool to circle back!

Auto Align 2 is great! I do my best to set up for each session. I will track myself before the client arrives and look at what Auto Align reveals. One of two things happens: either the changes are nominal and I leave things as they are or I see something is odd and make an adjustment. Either way by the time the client is listening to playback the drums sound huge.

Do the tom mics align with the snare still or to the overheads?

ok its not level matched, but when you gain match it for yourself you can hear how organized the lower-mid stuff sounds when the Manley is on! very nice!

i was turned onto this a year or two ago. complete game changer. one question: what happens with the polarity flip on the bottom snare mic?

first time watching your channel. great succinct info, subbed

Pale Moon Ranch! Tracked drums for our last single there. Great studio 🖤

IYKYK

Sound Radix for the win

For me, the biggest bang for the buck is aligning the overheads to the snare top. I do that manually, as auto align is very expensive.

Great Vid Sir. How this compares to Melda's MAutoAlign?

How did you get Autoalign 2 to show up under extensions in Nuendo. For some reason mine is t there.

Your video is slightly out sync with the audio, the irony! (Unless it's my PC)

TLA does it manually and uses the top snare as the main track to align to. For me, if I align all mics I loose depth. So only if the mic placement, especially if the rooms are skewed, then I will bring them to a more coherent alignment. But I prefer not to.

Hey Jay, I use autoalign myself, but I always have this doubt.... Do you do Autoalign before or after comping and quantizing?

Tip: redo this after doing EQ etc, to adjust for the phase differences introduced by the EQ itself.

Honestly, I think sometimes I feel insecure like I'm not doing enough as an engineer but the tools we have today just makes this stuff so easy.
