How to Sound Like Radiohead

The part 2 mixing video is right here folks! :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZ_Gdomjh691jKM

Came here to say I would love this... Awesome! Thank you!!!

[@joshuahart8481]

I've always really enjoyed your gear and technique related content, but your most recent videos have been really outstanding! It's really nice to see the gear I've seen so many reviews about actually being used. I'm learning so much!

I am beyond impressed with the end result, it's one of the greatest covers I've ever heard. Dying to see the mixing!

Wow thank you so much!! Yeah really proud of how this cover turned out, took forever though 😂

It was amazing. Put me in tears and I've never even heard this song before. So powerful.

Dude this is so sick. I think using specific songs as avenues to talking about the gear is a really great way you’ve expanded the channel. I’d love to see more stuff about miking amps and drums and all that.

[@AudioHaze]

Yeah mic’ing drums would be an awesome video! Drum tone turned out awesome hear so it def deserves more attention

[@shahidkamal]

I’m 57 and have been watching KZbin since it launched. This is the most useful video I’ve ever seen on here. Subscribed. Thank you. Superb work.

[@blackboard_sx3488]

Would absolutely dig seeing the mix process, focusing on how you got it to glue, how you raised the energy, and the approach with vocal processing. Well done!

[@AudioHaze]

Hell yeah, glad I’m seeing a lot of interest in the mixing breakdown :)

[@kindredrivers4008]

Mega job 🙌 I asked Ed O'Brien what time signature the Pyramid Song was in. He said they didnt know, and then told a funny anecdote of how they baffled the BBC philharmonic orchestra trying to explain it 🤣

[@pecatshu9357]

It's fascinating to note that regardless of the excellence of the vocals or the precision of the setup, one can never replicate the emotion evoked by Thom Yorke's legendary vocal performance.

[@chimpwithagun]

Dude did a really impressive job but only Thom Yorke is Thom Yorke.

[@dahliafiend]

Yorke probably can’t sing Sitting onThe Dock Of The Bay like Otis Redding either.

[@dahliafiend]

Hand Slash a telecaster. It will sound like Slash. Bad Brains recorded into s boombox. Equipment is fun. The musicians and the engineers ears a DAW And two 57s. Ten to twenty years of writing and singing songs is where the magic is.

[@sugarhigh4242]

Sir this is an Arby's

[@MicahWeston]

Incredible work man. I honestly just started listening to Radiohead. In production, I primarily make hiphop and r&b music but I’ve been so inspired by rock and alternative stuff lately. So much magic in this video. My understanding has been widened, thank you.

[@FrancescoFp]

This is absolutely gold content. I am spamming this to anyone I know who is into music production or radiohead. Keep it up!

[@AudioHaze]

Seriously THANK YOU for sharing that means the world, cheers my friend :)

[@Edvardbrun]

This channel is going somewhere, I can feel it. Keep it up!

[@AudioHaze]

Thanks dude!! Tryin our best out here haha

[@vampiresvszombies9298]

Covering such a difficult song with such accuracy is truly commendable. You got a new sub for sure!

[@mscupcakes]

This is actually incredible work. From The Basement is my absolute favourite version of this song and you nailed it!

[@AudioHaze]

Same!! A ton of the basement session performances I prefer or like as well as the album, Nude is just angelic in the basement session vid

[@nigelsmith721]

I bought this DVD on release and the Radiohead performances are indeed stunning. Good work getting close (and you did)!

[@parasatmusic]

Wow, the effort put into in is incredible! I would love to see the mix breakdown. Also you buying the microphone because of radiohead is so real, i really want this mic too

Big time! night and day difference. It goes dark unmixed to bright when mixed for most of the track and then it flips to the opposite for the outro, sounds so right tho

[@joshkarian5379]

Absolute banger of a song and an incredible reproduction

[@discocat2500]

This is fantastic! It sounds great and I really appreciate the gear breakdown. Keep up the great work!

[@frankiepresents]

The performance, mix and attention to detail is just stunning. This is incredible, huge props to everyone involved!

[@vanessathurlow68]

Wow this sound astoundingly close to the original! As someone who has listened to the original and watched the live from the basement version well over 100 times I'm not positive I could tell it was a diff track until the vocal comes in

[@AudioHaze]

Wow thank you so much that's insane!! Maybe all those guitar takes paid off hahahaha

[@maxwellk10]

I love you. I’m finally home. This is simply a delightful channel, keep up the great work my brother

[@kewlco333]

this is awesome man! I remember listening to this basement performance at 17 years old all the time with my headphones and just being blown away by how amazing it all sounded, 10 years have gone by since then and this is such an accurate rendition of that performance! so nostalgic andreally well done you should be really proud of this. It truly does sound great what you all have recorded. Thank you!

[@grantbolstad4665]

This whole thing is so impressive. I really enjoyed listening to the mixed/unmixed contrast. Killer vocals both raw and mixed. Great job to everyone involved!!!

[@carter_tate]

wowowow im amazed at how amazing and spot on this sounds.. beautiful

[@whitneyahwee2614]

This video is the first I've seen from you but it was a treat all the way through. The cover was well done, the vocals + guitar + mixing just truly beautiful. An accurate representation of Radiohead. I'm trying to put together my studio (finally) and this was insightful and entertaining to watch. Great work!

[@mondoghulam3050]

Excellent work throughout. The mixed/raw comparisons are gold.

[@neilsmith5464]

What a great job - a really good vibe and pretty bang on cover. Love the insight into the 3/4 guitars over 4/4 drums - not sure I ever clocked that. You are so right about the drum tones. Super dry but thats what works.

[@AudioHaze]

Thanks for checking it out! Yeah the drum tones really turned out great, cutting the tons made all the difference

[@storytimesongs1]

Wow the mixing on this is amazing! I need that mix breakdown.

[@TheHalfmanofOz]

Pretty sure I've been following your work since around the 1-2k subscriber mark. Crazy to think how much progress you have made since then. Amazing stuff, man.

[@AudioHaze]

Thanks dude that means a ton :) appreciate you sticking around, that’s crazy!!

[@kidinthecloud]

Absolutely amazing… great job. I really like seeing the raw cuts 🤙🏻

[@TheSSEssesse]

The most insane part of this performance isn’t even this song, it’s All I Need. Toward the end, 5 band members, 7 different parts all being played simultaneously. Absolute masterclass in musicianship.

[@AudioHaze]

Yes!! That was is crazy, a similar thing happens on weird fishes, Jonny uses the looper to create a couple guitar parts under the main one, but he does the looping while muted so you can't even tell, crazy

[@balance.spring]

Incredible work, you guys absolutely nailed it! Blown away by the accuracy of the mix and appreciate you putting together a follow-up video on it (going to watch it now).

[@Gitarrenfanatiker]

This is so cool! Definitely want to see more songs recorded in a home studio with 'limited' options

[@AudioHaze]

Hell yeah!! I want to make more as well :) hopefully sometime soon, got some other cool projects in line first

[@mosty85]

Dude...What a performance! It's quite unbelievable just how well you can capture this in a bedroom setting. It's impossible to tell that it wasn't recorded in a studio. Also, some people are going to hate me for saying this, but I preferred this to the original. Your singers tone was so beautiful; I preferred him to Tom Yorke. As well, as soon as he started singing I said in my head "I've heard a voice VERY similar to this before". I closed my eyes and within 10 seconds I knew who it was. It was a band that I haven't listened to for over 10 years...'My Morning Jacket'. He sounds so similar to the lead singer Jim James.

[@VILLAxSOCIAL]

This gave me chills. Thank you ❤ looking forward to the mixing breakdown video!

[@AudioHaze]

Wow chills?? Crazy, thank you for saying this!!

[@Ghostofwoo]

This is amazing! Great work

[@AudioHaze]

Thanks dude!

[@savagehenryukulele]

Historically I have never really been a Radiohead fan but this video was awesome! You have inspired me to not only record, but to go back and check out more Radiohead…

[@renatofonte]

Best band in the world brother. If hope you get the taste. A lot to discover and enjoy

[@AudioHaze]

Thanks dude!! Yeah I didn’t really love Radiohead on first listen and now they’re my favorite band 😂

[@karwashblark7499]

This album is my favorite of theirs. I recommend listening to In Rainbows straight through. OK Computer is probably their most influential and famous album, though. It's basically an electronica album with guitars, very unique sound. Also worth checking out.

[@synaesthete81]

​@@AudioHaze The From the Basement performance of The King of Limbs album is out of this world. It isn't my favorite album of theirs, and I couldn't even imagine it being performed live, but that performance blew my mind. Would love to see you dig into it the way you did this song! Great video and I will be watching many more of yours!

[@HarrySeaton]

Discovered your channel yesterday. Subscribed instantly. This is the 4th video of yours I’ve watched. Insane. Ok, Radiohead are my favourite band, but still. You are incredibly talented and your explanations are so useful for someone like me who is not new to music or studio environments but new to self recording and production. Thanks so much man. New favourite KZbin channel!

[@AudioHaze]

Thanks man glad you liked it!! New FAVORITE? That's insane its hard for me to visualize being anyones favorite channel hahaha, gonna check out your vids now!

[@mistaraa_]

this video was amazing! as someone who has recently started a band of dumb teenagers who don't know much about any of this kind of stuff, this type of content is a massive help. I would love to see a video on this mixing process and anything else like this! you deserve so many more subs than you've got right now so I really hope you blow up like you deserve to. Much love!

[@thefishermenandthepriestess]

LOVE the video! So happy this showed up in my feed. That concert is also my favorite, and it was amazing to see you break down the song. Thanks for making this!

*Such an amazing video! I really enjoy the process and the result (performance) is just great*

[@AudioHaze]

Glad you liked it!

[@joshuakincheloe]

This was my favorite song from that performance too. My favorite part about this whole song is Ed O’Briens back up vocals. It’s so damn smooth.

[@kowloonbroadcast]

all three of you are absolute top-tier musicians, lads. fact. in fact this song is a kind of a “regular job” for me, ‘cause every several years i decide to cover it with a different approach - it may be close to the original production/instrumentation/style-wise, it may be a complete reimagination all together with no guitars and just keyboards and stuff. it’s actually has so much meaningful musical basis on a compositional level that throughout the years it never gets boring to approach it from different angles. that said, i had my fair bit of struggle with the guitar work during my “close to the original” approach and know exactly how challenging it is, despite overall perceived lightweight sorta vibe to it. my man, you did absolutely great, had a ton of pleasure listening to it. vocals are so well executed as well - Thom’s spirit fully embodied in this performance. i caught myself wanting to have a listen to the raw vox recording when you cut between dry and wet mix. i feel like the dry vocal signal would perfectly fit into the mixed version of the instrumentation. but it’s just a subjective hypothesis. in general, either way - you did a fucking great job and i will certainly come back here to take a listen again and *not just once, not just twice* _(see what i did there, right lool?)_ for sure as well. 🙌🏼

[@alejandroperez8285]

Man I would kill for the video of the mixing, especially for the vocals, actually I was recently trying to get the tone for the song Nude, from the same album. Really impress with your results, I've only been following you for a couple weeks but you're one hell of a musician and producer I'm just hooked, keep it up bro!

[@AudioHaze]

Thanks dude!! Welcome to the community :) I was just practice my Nude before reading this actually hahaha the nude tone is a hard one because it’s out there with the bass, and like nothing else in the mix. So you really gotta nail it

[@Deaf_Audio]

This mix is crazy good. Would love to see a video on the mixing process. Good work!

[@AudioHaze]

Lucky for you its live on the channel as of yesterday!

[@SoundofThomas]

Outstanding work... Thank you 😊😊

[@SoundJunky]

Cool concept! I’d love to see more videos like this. I’m sure that was a MASSIVE amount of work to put together. You killed it. I’d be willing to bet that the original guitar amp mic is a U67, but I can’t be certain either. The tone just sound real warm and tubey to me. 🤷‍♂️

[@AudioHaze]

Yeah I think it is a u67 based on what I’m seeing and hearing, got that more mellow vibe :) glad you enjoyed!

[@benjisandk]

Great job! A Mountain to climb but you absolutely nailed it! BTW: That "compressor" he is using on his bass is actually an Ashdown bass amp 😊

[@trueashdown]

I came to the coments to say that, Klystron Bass Magnifier bass amp by Ashdown (I have one sitting next to me). Great video! (LoL, I just realized my nick comes from there, I have had it almost 25 years, the nick and the amp XD)

[@adamkumpmusic]

that was incredibly accurate and so awesome to have so much detail explained. beautiful recreation of the song. y'all played amazing, I legit got chills. you made this sound accessible and I'm definitely going to be taking some tips from this considering that the basement sessions are my absolute favorite studio performances in the history of ever as well. the mixing tutorial is on my list of must-see if you will provide it! #abletongang

[@thehaunting]

this was incredible man. subbed. cheers

[@thejasontlewis]

Great video! Nice breakdown of the song and performances overall! On the tuning of the guitars, usually that will resolve with the overtops of the rest of the tune, so auto tune is probably not need. Vocal sound was good, but the reverb wasn’t right. Sounds to me like it’s a long tail plate on an aux with the send going prefader to get that ghosting thing. Dunno, just how I heard it. I felt like the biggest difference between your track and theirs was the overall sense of space. Yours sounded “smaller.” Maybe that’s just a case of spaces and gear, but something to think about for the next breakdown. Really ambitious video and I’m glad to see someone making stuff like this and not just gear reviews.

[@AudioHaze]

Glad you liked it! For more the biggest difference was that my guitars were brighter, maybe a bit wider, which perhaps didn't give enough room for the vocals to truly sit atop of it with enough space. Ironically could have made the mix feel a bit smaller because of that. When I darkened the guitars though I just felt like we lost a lot of that sweet-high end that makes the guitars sound nice. So it was a bit of a balancing act :) glad you enjoyed!
