YES!!!!!!!! This is the way!!! This is the return of the art of audio engineering, in my opinion. Having complete control is control freak-ery, not audio engineering. The art in audio engineering is riding the bucking bronco of a live performance, not playing with the lego of pro-tools. It’s not about (mostly) the technology of the past that makes classics classic, it’s the approach. Yeah NIN, sure. But things like that are the exception to the rule. He accomplished that with a fairly unhealthy lifestyle. It’s a lot easier to be a happy, healthy person that doesn’t shy away from the reality of a live band’s imperfection. If you are worried about AI… This is how AI won’t wreck real musicians. It’s the path out of the uncanny valley we’re all in.

@louderthangod5 ай бұрын
Live, in the room is 100% of what I’m into. No click, plenty of mic bleed….real musicians making music together. What you lose in separation or in the perception of the “perfect” take is exponentially surpassed by a well rehearsed band playing together and feeding off each other. It absolutely translates in energy and vibe plus it makes it easier to mix as well. You just have to take your time setting mic up and organizing where people will be and where things will be pointed.

That's why I'm listening to powerviolence/grind/hardcore with the raw sound and sloppy performing 🤘 I cannot stand that modern fake metal where they record each bar separately, quantise, autotune and so on.

Oh no! The standard way of making metal records these days has nothing to do with what you have seen here 😇. That's why it is ironically so refreshing.
@matts.11905 ай бұрын
A great video that needs to be seen by many more upcoming engineers and producers. Commitment is amazing and makes the process so much more fun and inspiring. HOWEVER, a big key here is that if you want to go that route, you also have to consider the skills of the artists/band. If the band can't play their songs live or can't utilize their instruments properly, nothing good will come out in the end. I've had a couple of bands at the studio that started of by going "We want to play live and sound raw" but it turned out they couldn't perform their songs good enough to do that. So we had to resort back to going the overdub route, going part by part and so on...I couldn't really use my outboard because it would not help on a bad performance. Anyways, lovely video, as always on your channel! Love this approach!
@KohleAudioKult5 ай бұрын
That's right. If the band sucks it's not gonna work! I gotta say that lately all bands over here which went into that direction really had rehearsed their shit! In that case, it's fun!
@louderthangod5 ай бұрын
Those bands just shouldn’t be in the studio till they’re ready to pull it off. Reamping, sample replaced drums won’t really fix it either…it’ll sound flat and lifeless.

Hannnggg on haaannng onnn. It's not that it has to sound messy and dirty. I prefer very well produced and super clean sounding, it is just that noone is chasing a band's uniqueness anymore. We don't buy a record to hear how a band sounds live. We buy a record to hear a band's best performances and the best production the band is aiming to achieve at a point in time.

Can you make a video testing Celestion BN12-300S speakers as used in guitar cabs, for metal guitar tones? Not bass, guitar. And how does it compare to likes of Celestion Redback, Celestion Cream backs, Eminence EM12, Eminence Swamp Thang, and so on? And I guess the V30 as well for the sake of it being the standard that I'm not really interested to but I guess it has to be there for the video to be useful for a broader audience... I think it would be an interesting video. Or if you can think of any other bass speakers that are known to be good for guitar as well besides BN12-300S, that topic is really interesting IMO.

the phase thing about electronic and air is not accurate. there is delay in electronics everytime you have a filter and there is stages that flip phase too. even if it is full electronic you should check the phase.
@KohleAudioKult5 ай бұрын
It’s right that you should check the polarity. But any delays in those circuits (unless digital) will be negligible compared to the delay of sound traveling through the air
