Thanks ever so much everyone for tuning in to the live stream! Thanks Adam for the great tracks you produced! Please download the tracks, mix them for yourself, replay some parts!

[@JeighNeither]

It was a true marvel to behold. Thank you for teaching through doing, it's the most effective way I learn, & I learned a lot. I've probably absorbed the equivalent of a bachelor's degree from watching your work/videos. Lastly, thanks for doing justice to such an iconic band & song.

[@jeffjones1359]

Warren, the “dumb guy” in you may just be a cleverly disguised genius… (know what I mean?)

[@tonypistilli7111]

Watching you make decisions and explaining them as you do them is soooo helpful. However, I do get a bit flustered at how much I realize I don't know yet...but we all have to start somewhere, right? Thanks for putting this up. And a RUSH song! Now if you do an old Styx tune, I would be in heaven!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks Tony! Thanks for sharing.

[@Producelikeapro]

Keep working on your skills Tony! I promise you'll get there, it takes a lot of trial and error to learn these things and also for them to stick!

[@zachary963]

Love Geddy’s bass sound. To this day I smash my bass strings thanks to him.

[@leefchapman]

This was so fun! Glad you actually went through the full process from start to finish!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much Lee!!

[@demagmusic]

I distinctly remember hearing this song when it came out (I was about 10). It's probably the most influential song / album that drove my interest in music. Was one of the first cassettes I ever bought, and for months I listened to it on my walkman every night when I fell asleep.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much for sharing!

[@leeselectronicwidgets]

Thanks so much for doing this and sharing the multitracks. Had great fun watching and using the tracks myself - bonus that it's also one of favourite songs!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thank you for sharing!

[@philipgebhardt3453]

Downloaded the tracks and did a mix-it almost 'mixes itself' as it's tracked so well (Nice one Adam)

[@philippgrunert8776]

The recordings are flawless. I wish I could record vocals like that. Brilliant

[@Producelikeapro]

Marvellous

[@GeoffBosco]

One aspect of the snare drum sound on the original that should be noted is that even though there isn’t much room sound in the final mix, that live room at Le Studio is an amazing drum room. In other words, the drum may have been tweaked but the way it responded in that room made it feel like hot had more low end than it did.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks for the tip Geoff!

[@GeoffBosco]

@@Producelikeapro You're welcome. I came to this from my own experiments with using samples of my own kit recorded in good rooms. Just replacing the close mic samples from a good room on tracks I recorded in my bedroom made a huge difference without sacrificing a natural sound (it's really the room sounds in samples that make a drum sound, sound unnatural). Oh! Actually, it was one of your drum mixing tutorials that tipped me off to this. You were mixing drums from a big room and you squashed the room mics and when you muted the room on and off it was almost as if the close and room mics were recorded in different rooms, yet together they still maintained a consistent sound. That was the inspiration to try the opposite. Close mics from a big room with overhead/room sounds from a smaller room for a very natural sound that makes it sound like you're recording in better room. Sorry for the essay, lol.

[@steveogden8613]

Hi Warren. After watching your video, mixing the rush song tom sawyer I was blown away. I downloaded the tracks for mixing and tried to mix them. I'm relatively new to mixing but I was in my element mixing the song. I thought this was the closest I will ever get to mixing a rock band like rush. So thank you very much for the video and tracks. Also thank Adam for me also. Absolutely brilliant. Keep up the learning info. Cheers Steve from Wigan in Gt Manchester.

[@timh6510]

I loved this. I'm not even your intended audience and I watched the whole replay. I'm just a hi fi guy who loves music and appreciates good production. That was an amazing process to watch, and it sounds great. Thanks guys!

[@leopoldbluesky]

Time for bed here, I'll have to catch the replay. This is going to be great!

[@peaceandrelaxationwithgodscrea]

Excellent bass playing

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much

[@leefchapman]

I loved that too!

[@Producelikeapro]

@@leefchapman marvellous

[@tinball]

Flipping the polarity did wonders for the snare sound. Top/bottom were out of phase. I saw you messing with it in the video, but simply flipping it solved the problem.

[@Producelikeapro]

Fantastic!!

[@johnkim3257]

Biggest audionerds ever... my kind of people

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha thanks John!

[@rickbarnett6061]

can you please do many more of these 70's music songs and start from the very beginning with levels and phase etc.

[@GloveBunniesVideos]

After 3 hours, I might have my snare sound down. Amazing video! Thanks.

[@MrDblStop]

That was fantastic, thank you.

[@jeffjones1359]

Yes! More Genesis! Nursery Chrimes is a life changing record. It was for me at least. I still remember the first time I heard it. I was just a little kid but I knew even then that my life would never be the same… (Eventide Rules!)

[@vegardyrnes1793]

Thnx, I just revisited what was so cool in my youth (Yes, I was a music nerd!). How we struggled to play those tunes at rehearsal. But, we didn't have a Neal. Or an Alex or Geddy. Come to think of it, It is still so F**ing COOL and amazing. Turns out, we were right!😊🤟

[@philippgrunert8776]

I Love that plate on the snare

[@JohnSk82]

British lads always make a quality difference in music (I will mix and post this lol)

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha thanks ever so much!

[@justlisa1599]

very great stream, thank you! i have a technical question... when one is putting out the audio from these, is it possible to pan the individual voice channels? it would be much nicer to listen to two people in a room instead of mono up the middle. i figure it can be done, and i ask because i was hoping to help someone else do it but i don't know squat about how youtube works. : )

[@WEARETHEREGIME]

Amazing guys! Thank you 🙏

[@cjuggernaut1]

Warren, can we get a link to your or Adam's mix of this so we can use it as a reference?

[@genuinefreewilly5706]

Like the idea of doing a Nursery Crymes song. I'd go with the Hogweed Song or Harold the Barrel

[@QbanThunder]

Adam, You should check out SonicProjects’ OPX Pro II. It came out years before the Arturia OBXa V did. It blows any other OBX emulator away. The Tom Sawyer Growl is identical. It’s part of their “Famous Bank”. There’re vids all over KZbin about it. Please, check it out.😊🤘

[@stuartstribling2296]

Drummer here. Audience perspective 100% I've never played a show with people seated behind me.

[@pseudobeast4653]

I downloaded these tracks to mess around with. For anyone who is going to mix this: there are a lot of phasing issues with the drum tracks, so I suggest taking a close listen to that. The room tracks are out of phase with themselves. That needs to be flipped. I don't know if the snare bottom was recorded phase flipped, but to me it sounds better if I flip it. The overheads sound better to me flipped. But depending how it approached, you may get different results. Good luck.

[@pseudobeast4653]

Otherwise, great recording. Everything sounds great.

[@leefchapman]

Thanks for sharing

[@TheeRocker]

Nice !!! Why is it I seem to enjoy mixing a song recorded with issues lol. I seriously do lol. I am frigin weird, but it really teaches us to think outside the box at times.

[@hugoleclerc-charron3757]

This is a amazing

2.28.05 min. Hold my ghettoblaster.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hahaha

[@zachary963]

9:05 is this why I love high pitched snares???

[@livenlifethrewmusic5880]

YOYOYO

[@auddoc99]

That doesn't sound like Geddy's actual voice at the end, totally different register....the instruments do though, mostly. Copyright stuff, perhaps or pitch shifting? Peart used to play my high-school dances and the pubs in a local band called JR Flood and yes, he was a total MOFO back in those pre-Rush days.

[@mephistowalzofficial9970]

It sure does not sound like Geddy

[@JimijaymesProductions]

I love zeppelin, listening to zeppelin as a teen, learnt half the riffs but Warren is right the overall mix of some zeppelin sounds old. If I have a big system running it sounds like I've tuned in to AM radio as opposed to playing the CD or Vinyl because there is no low end, it almost sounds high passed compared to even later 70s mixes mind 2000s onwards. Listen to Linkin Park (which is now 20 years old) and compare it to Led Zeppelin IV, sounds like Bonham is playing a 14 inch kick drum (except on when the levee breaks cos of that room sound) despite us all knowing otherwise, there is relatively no low end punch. Now imagine your a gen z teen and you grew up listening to distorted 808s and white noise hit hats....everything from the 70s sounds bandpassed.

[@RemcoJvGrevenbroek]

Lunch? haha. this midnight over here

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha indeed

[@yrebrac]

Eric, you need to rectify your lack of Led Zeppelin appreciation lad!

[@RobertWrightOneManCovers]

Sure would be nice if the playback was nominal level and THE TALKING WASN'T SCREAMINGLY LOUD IN COMPARISON 🙄

The Eventide plugin pack is a bit too expensive for me, even at the discounted price. :(

Drummer perspective > audience perspective... just saying

[@Producelikeapro]

Whatever works best for you!

[@jsebastian9547]

@@Producelikeapro I know this is so insignificant, but nothing will make me flip my headphones around faster than audience perspective lol ! But on a serious note, this is pretty damn amazing. Everything about the moving pictures album, from a production standpoint (minus the drum panning) is perfect, and has always been my go to reference for all mixes, so to see you guys tackle this is an excellent treat.

[@robburgess4556]

As a longtime Neil fan, I'm not digging this drummer. He's throwing in extra double bass unnecessarily and the feel is just ... not good. Good enough for a mix demo, I guess 🤘🏼😊

[@TomCawoski]

Completely agree Rob but, as they say, it is a cover and besides, who can play anything like Neil Peart!!! Also, if you listen to the isolated drums video on KZbin, Neil had a very different drum sound.

[@Producelikeapro]

As I Said in the Video and the comment abpicke feel free to download the tracks and replay the parts! Excited to hear what you would do with them!

[@Producelikeapro]

@@TomCawoski you’re a drummer! Let’s hear what you would do Tom! You can post in the next Feedback Friday, excited to hear your playing!

[@TomCawoski]

@@Producelikeapro , I downloaded the tracks yesterday and will mix them at some point. I may even tackle playing/recording my drums on this song at some point but I'm no Neil Peart either. lol...

[@johnthecreative]

yeah I noticed that too.

[@lil-link]

Warren, you got to start listen to the people you have on as guests or doing interviews with. It's way too obvious when you stop listening and focus on something completely else.

[@Producelikeapro]

This isn’t an interview, Adam produced the track and also there is a live chat and I have to read peoples questions!

[@lil-link]

@@Producelikeapro yup, that's one way to not tackle someone's criticism. but all right, it's the chats fault. I take back everything! 🤝

[@keithferris9574]

@@lil-link I think he's saying that, when he interviews someone, his attention level is completely different than when he is trying to fit in mixing in real time while hosting a live chat. I could see your point if there wasn't tons of evidence of Warren being an extremely attentive interviewer in that particular setting. This video is a different animal. Don't let it get to you.
