Playing devil's advocate Warren; some people have good judgement or ideas but they're made great by teaming up with others now or then,... or picking someone else's brain. Coming from the visual arts world, I found that happened enough that it caught my attention decades ago. That's where I learned the difference between craft and art. Yes, follow intuition. Especially if working against a clock. But conversely, sometimes, getting the opinion of others, opens doors to greatness as well. Cheers.

As a bedroom producer, if mixing isn't achieving what I want, I record everything again from scratch. A lot of stuff can be fixed between the guitar and the amp. My inspiration was Stevie Nicks once saying that she often recorded a new vocal rather than listen to Lindsey argue with everybody. (:

I do the same. And I find that it often solves issues in unexpected ways. For example, I'll end up choosing a slightly different guitar sound. Or I'll realize that a track I thought I needed I don't really need at all. I don't really think of recording and mixing as separate processes. As I'm recording, I'm picking out sounds that fit together. And so re-recording is essentially getting a blank slate on my mix

"What if I have bad taste?" What a great question. I feel like it's a case of getting out of your own mind and listening as if you haven't listened before, try to hear from someone else's ears. A great idea I heard was to have someone else sit with you and listen to the mix - if there's a problem it'll stick out like the proverbial sore thumb. Even if they don't say anything - just being there makes you hear differently. Similar to writing and creating art - we get attached to certain "ideas" about what it should be and let that override how we experience it. For mixing, maybe it's a tip we get here or on another channel that we're stuck on as "it should be great because so and so said it's killer." But it's not working for our song. There's an expression: "Kill our babies" - those parts that we think "should" be great, and we're convinced it must be great - but it's not working. The question I have to ask myself when making decisions about mixes, writing music, creating photos etc - "Will this come across to someone else the way I want?" and I really try to experience whatever it is from outside myself.

When you state, mixing at the highest level is possible in the box now it's like the final official announcement of the new era. And that's a bit heavy on my heart. I think we all welcome the new technology. Lowering the barriers and leveling the playing field is a great achievement after all. Still I hope we can hold dear the old equipment and particularly pass on to the next generations of what great value the old stuff is which I think is a big challenge. Every digital box sounds exactly the same and the youngsters have already gotten used to that. But there's not one piece of analog equipment sounding the same as another. They're just like humans. Even each channel of your console sounds different - isn't that great? Isn't that essential to music, to art in general: distinctiveness, uniqueness, character? We were fools to throw that away and trade it for sameness. But will the next generations learn that?

There are thousands of plugins out there. There are infinite chord and melody combinations. There are countless ways you can arrange your songs and make sounds fit together in new ways. There are a billion ways to sound different. It seems myopic to think that somehow it's the differences between consoles that matters the most.
@neovxr3 жыл бұрын
With digital gear, there are almost no restrictions to the structure of the mix and the processing. So we must abandon all limits in our heads, that we have learned earlier, and find out what is possible right now. Some guys have a template that uses the SSL channel strip on all 100 tracks, and another that uses the Neve etc., and then the BX idea about tolerance modeling came in. But I shape the recorded stuff with any plugin that I think might do something useful, and use no channel strip at all, or totally different ones for the main tracks like lead vocals, solo guitar, drum bus etc., which in the end creates a sound that ideally depends only on me, not on a particular set of plugins.

I asked the question about having bad taste, and I see some, including Warren, think I was being funny. I wasn't really trying to be funny, though. There are instances where a certain type of sound seems to be commmonly accepted as "good", and I just don't hear it. Take snare drums in heavy music, for example. I will listen to a song here on KZbin, and see comments about the snare sounding "killer", and all I can hear is this overly processed "whack" that doesn't sound like any snare drum I've ever played. In pop music you have vocals that have been tuned to perfection, and I just think it sounds lifeless and artificial. I know I'm starting to sound like a luddite here, but I swear I'm not! Warren mentions impostor syndrome, and that could of course be a factor for me here. It just feels sometimes that I'm completely out of step with other music lovers, hence my question about having bad taste. I do appreciate your answer, Warren, some food for thought there!

I’m talking about Pop music, it can be Metal or Indie music that maybe 100”s of thousands of fans. If only love music and sounds that 5 people like them of course that’s very different!

@@Producelikeapro I understand what you are saying and yes, I like death metal which is not super popular but, even the new recordings sound horrible to me because, mostly the drums, don't sound like drums. I hate pop music. Always did. Even in the 70's when they used real people playing real instruments. But with that said, I love classic rock, jazz, funk and blues. I guess I don't like fake sounds. I am a drummer and I never use samples on my drumset. I like the sound of a real drumset. I know how a drum sounds. If a recording makes the drums sound different, I don't like it. The same could be said for all instruments and voice. I realize pretty much all music today is fake. That is why I don't like it. I am probably 1 in a million people with that reaction so, I guess it doesn't matter what I think. I am the one that has bad taste, lol!

that is so true about mixing in the box. I have mixed songs that really sound better than songs mixed in the '90s or early '20s. I was listening to the radio just now in a parking lot waiting on my pizza order. I haven't listened to the radio in 20 plus years, lol. I was on the HD rock radio station playing some guns and roses stuff plus other rocks songs with eq on flat. I notice some errors in the song's highs I never noticed back when I was younger. I compared all those mixes to what I'm doing in the box and pretty much sounds better or the same without that harsh highs. by the way, the stereo in my car is not a stock system but 10k custom-tuned with active eq. I won a lot of sound quality awards with this system when everyone was into car stereo systems, so it has all the dyno mats in the doors and ceiling plus other places in the cabin. my point is you can mix in the box and no one will ever notice it period. if you can mix on a console, you can mix in the box.

BTW Personally I like to use a combination of plug-ins, outboard gear and a mixing console. My DAW is my main tool, of course. I definitely prefer the real instruments to samples whenever possible! I can't imagine ever using an electric guitar simulator becasue I love playing a good instrument. And you can't replace the feel of playing a real piano by using a digital source even if it sounds nice in the mix... An acoustic piano reverberates and vibrates as you play it so you can feel the sound, much like a guitar or other acoustic instruments. That is one of the things I love about playing real instruments.

I have a question… I’ve been trying to get my head around templates and how they could work for me. Occasionally I’ll mix stuff that someone else recorded, but for the most part I’m mixing stuff that I also recorded. Which is about half client work and half my own music. I’ve dabbled with mix templates, but I’ve failed to really implement them into my work flow, in part because I like the idea of starting a recording with a clean slate and (quote) “using the DAW as a tape machine” at least to start a production. I more or less “mix as I go” and usually end up with too many effects to run sessions with a buffer rate suitable for recording. I suppose there are numerous questions here… Do you have just one template for both recording and mixing? If so, do I just need a better computer to run packed sessions at the lowest buffer? Or, do you have a recording template and a mixing template… or like me, a clean slate for recording… but then go to a mixing template? If so, when do you jump from the recording session into the mix template? Many other questions, but I’ll leave it at that for now. Thanks for what you do Warren. You’re the best source for this stuff. Many thanks and blessings to you!

I agree that you don't need a super mixing console or thousands of dollars in pro outboard gear. I would refer to that as the "old school" way of recording and mixing/producing. I know some electronic music artists here in Seattle who use only a laptop and a pair of good headphones. Personally, when mixing rock I'd rather hear the sound through some open space instead of so close to my ear drums. I've mixed my rock music using studio monitoring headphones and later had to redo the mix to make it sound good on my studio monitor speakers - even though it sounded great in headphones or earbuds! Why is that?

I feel that Sananda has such a great vocal tonality and elegance that he should be up with the greats...at least of his generation.. and probably beyond. Symphony Or Damn should be in every rock fans collection, even if just for the final three songs, which follow through to such a beautiful conclusion. That said, it is an album that should be listened to from start to finish.

I would think that truly great converters are super important if you're sending to outboard gear and bringing it back in - every time they go through the converters there would the chance for degradation so they need to be better quality. But if you're "in the box" the convert only needs to be "really good" because the sound only travels through it once. And the converters in all the modern interfaces are really good - and possibly great when you get into the higher levels of gear like Antelope, Apollo, etc.

@petterskerfving29103 жыл бұрын
I have a question for you. Is there a difference in how you should think about masking when working with transient sounds, like drums, and more constant sounds, like pads, distorted guitars or vocals? I guess ducking frequencies with a sidechain works best when sounds are getting out of the way of transient bursts? Any general rules of thumb that might apply?

Oh man, I know the guy who asked the question said it as a joke, but I loooooaaaaathe the whole 'but I have bad taste' idea. Friends telling me they like my music 'but they don't know a thing about music so pay me no mind'. I read in I believe Daniel Levitin's or Oliver Sacks' books that this notion, that music (or art in general) is subject to this delineation of 'experts' who are 'allowed' to do it and/or have opinions about it and 'laymen' who are only there to consume and applaud like cattle, is/was a uniquely Western thing. (Or, and this is my own conjecture, with decades of rapid urbanization in lots of non-Western parts of the globe, at the very least a late-capitalist attention-economy thing - the notion that you have to be good at something and/or make money off it, otherwise it's a 'waste of time', instead of just being a human expressing themselves, to connect with others and give joy and meaning to life.) This idea was illustrated by an anecdote (if my memory serves) of an anthropologist traveling to an indigenous people in sub-Saharan Africa, who invited the guy to join in singing and dancing; but were very surprised by the guy's reaction of 'Oh no sorry, I can't sing or dance'. The prevailing sentiment was something like 'what do you mean you can't sing/dance, you can speak/move, can't you?' - The idea of 'needing to be good at it' isn't even a factor, it's just a means of expressing yourself and connecting with others. Or how so many kids sing and make up rhymes and silly songs and dances, just for the sheer joy of it, but at a certain age that just ...stops. I know for me it was high school social pressure to 'act normal' and 'don't stand out', until I was 'good enough' as a musician to be tolerated. Lots of people never got there, they just stopped dancing and singing because they might look dumb or whatever. We're really good at peer pressuring ourselves out of enjoying life to the fullest, and I haaaaate it. Please everyone dance and sing and write and draw, even if you're terrible at it, because who effing cares. X

If you’ll forgive my unhinged enthusiasm for the subject, the answer to your question is “abso-f*cking-lutely yes!!” Due in part to my age, my career, as I’m getting the impression is yours, spans the period of ‘700lb behemoth tape recorders dragging priceless tape across heads feeding a transformer-laden monolith mixer costing more than my house’ to today’s ‘MacPro with control surface and monitor screens you can get at BestBuy.’ It was once only through the combined efforts of many assistants, a front office, and a maintenance team that I was able to eke out over the course of 30-40 hours a demonstrably successful record. The difference to today’s process is palpable, with the one familiar ingredient being the 30-40 hours. In fact, the most sorely missed ingredient between the two is those assistants’ very presence in the room. Working alone can be very dispiriting.

Hey Warren , what kind of Console make and model do you have and what is your favorite 24 ch. Board analog or digital

I am trying to figure out mastering, done lots of reading and watching. I make my own masters and compare them to AI machines that supposed do that for you. Quite honestly AI may have me beat for my own simple genre. I try to keep things simple a compressor, limiter and dynamic EQ and sometimes a transient shaper . Of the many youtubers I listen and subscribe to, Id say Dan Woralls videos are the most pleasing to me to listen to . Its more the content I figure or he just knows way too much about how youtube treats streaming sound. So my question is what do you think of AI mastering? I think its far from perfect, but at the same time along my auditory adventures, the technology has the added ability to understand taste and genre. On many occaisions its already given me a better idea of the genre I am in and what to shoot towards as far as recomendations. I loved your videos about Atmos and Dolby. Back in the day , one went to particular theatres, and laseriums to hear big surround sound. Even for live community or amateur theatre and plays its truly bonus. One cant do much about how far away an audience is from the stage, but now you can customize the space for sound to be more equally experienced.

Any idea whether Josh Wilbur could've been ITB on any of the Korn records? His workplace looks quite ITB, might have used studio consoles though. Sound-wise, the last album sounds ITB to me, while the second to last OTB, of course this is very subjective. Thanks.
