OneMic Series - The Imaginaries - Revival

[@LavaMan60]

This my favorite song of yours and just an incredible recording here.

[@onemic-theminimalist]

Thank you LavaMan - It was a joy making this recording with them.

[@deependguitar777]

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!!!! ❤❤❤

[@onemic-theminimalist]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@deependguitar777]

NO, ABSOLUTELY FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

[@onemic-theminimalist]

Thank you Deependguitar!

[@faced-up-dog]

the fact that this is done with only 1 mic (2 capsule) is made me goosebump

[@onemic-theminimalist]

Thank you for watching, glad you dig it.

[@Barabyk]

Fantastic performance, and incredible production. Always loved John's work, but this beats everything, it feels like bringing back innocence to the music production and engineering, all focused around performance and delivery. Can't wait for more.

[@TheImaginaries]

Thank you! We loved being a part of the OneMic Series!

[@onemic-theminimalist]

Thank you for the kind words of encouragement​.

[@dimllc]

When the drums came in...HOT DAMN! I love this series!

[@eriklundh7510]

Love this! Real music, hard to find these days...The drums sure sound good in that room!

[@onemic-theminimalist]

Thank You Erik - very happy to hear you dig it.

[@TheImaginaries]

Thanks Erik!

[@OwensDrumming]

I think John Cuniberti might be the single best salesman for the R88... I mean after hearing how great these recordings sound, how could you not just run out and buy one?

[@onemic-theminimalist]

No doubt AEA has benefited from my videos.

[@OwensDrumming]

@@onemic-theminimalist AEA themselves recommended that I check out your channel, so they greatly appreciate what you’re doing!

[@paulmartin2786]

My ears hear more in these recordings than they do with other songs with high track counts. Have really enjoyed listening to all the recordings in this series. Mixing with musicians and proximity in the room definitely the way to go for the organic sound. Love it.

[@kevinb3812]

Engaging is the word and the feeling! I really appreciate it! Keep up the series, it's awesome!

[@onemic-theminimalist]

Thank you! Will do!

[@donamcclure3902]

Love it! Very “Swampy”! The Imaginaries are awesome!

[@TheImaginaries]

Thank you!! :)

[@onemic-theminimalist]

The Swampest!

[@chasewilson6577]

Great work y'all, I like the rawness of the one take, one mic!

[@onemic-theminimalist]

Thank you Chase!

[@TheImaginaries]

Thanks Chaser!!

[@mdrumt]

Wow! This song is fantastic, great performance! I love this recording method. More!

[@TheImaginaries]

Thanks so much!! :)

[@JonGUK]

This is so much better than any multi-tracked session. Sounds so organic and REAL. All about performance and not micro timing every beat an note until the performance has been destroyed. Love it

[@TheImaginaries]

It was an incredible experience. We LOVED being a part of the OneMic Series! Thanks for your support, Jon!

[@onemic-theminimalist]

Thank, you really get it!

[@kevinb3812]

Yeah! Give me the Real! I'd rather hear Jagger belt it than than someone doing 200 takes to get it "perfect" (and losing soul along the way).

[@perttisalminen6357]

Amazing...

[@onemic-theminimalist]

Thanks for watching

[@Hermiel]

Look up an artist named TRISTEN. I stumbled upon her live videos and thought she'd be a perfect candidate for the OneMic series.

[@dieterkirchenbauer5158]

Absolutely Great!

[@onemic-theminimalist]

Thank You!

[@sweet2savory225]

Awesome job once again! We love you guys!

[@onemic-theminimalist]

Thank you. As you can see we all had fun making this.

[@heatherbailey5198]

Absolutely love this!

[@onemic-theminimalist]

Thank you, Heather,​ - more to come. Be sure to subscribe.

[@TheImaginaries]

Thank you Heather!

[@recorderconsort7755]

A wonderful performance and a beautiful sound. I think the one mic Blumlein technique sounds so good because the spatial positioning in the panorama is consistent with the room's reflections. In the sense that Bob Katz writes in his book: you should think beyond the panorama control. Of course, such recordings can only be made with excellent musicians. And when you record in one take, you notice how great the musicians make music together. Bravo!

[@onemic-theminimalist]

Thank you, I agree.

[@TheStarKindler]

Great song and beautiful voices and the lyrics are fantastic.

[@gustavosandessp]

south pacific tuned into it! great band but such a nice sound perspective and challenge to actual days tendencies! showww!!!

[@onemic-theminimalist]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@gustavosandessp]

@@onemic-theminimalist with pleasure. I love listening real sound as art ...its rare in this days....just seeing the combo Millennia tube , RCA Stereo ribbon, HD650...and the conception of the recs i already enjoy and aft listening to the sound quality dynamics and "sound image" i really really liked a lot! Bravo

[@AdamRayProductions]

Sounds awesome, guys!!!

So, this is 3614 Jackson Highway?

[@onemic-theminimalist]

Yes

[@battleofarmageddon1366]

The Lord succeeds.

[@battleofarmageddon1366]

Exodus Chapter 15 verse 3. The Lord is a man of war. The Lord is his name.

[@battleofarmageddon1366]

Love it!

[@onemic-theminimalist]

OK

[@MarcoAzevedo]

Incredble!!! Great performance!! How the equilibrium of the band can be very well done to listen. The PAN between the guitars is very pronounced. SG guitar on Tonemaster is on left side and the stratocaster on right but i can't see the strat amp. Maybe close to the camera man. I love the drum sound too, you often put something in front of bassdrum....anyway thanks for post this great work!! Sorry my english :-)

[@TheImaginaries]

Thank you!!! :)

[@onemic-theminimalist]

Not sure what amp Shane was using. I normally put the bass cabinet in front of the kick drum and ask the drummer to hit it. I adjust the level and EQ of the bass amp to make one big boom like you might when you are mixing.

[@MarcoAzevedo]

Great!!! Thank you master,i follow your work and make my experiments here.

[@mCiemniecki]

Great!

[@TheImaginaries]

Thanks!

[@DaveElke]

What preamp and converter are you using? Sounds great!

[@onemic-theminimalist]

Millennia HV-3C preamp / at this studio I believe they had Antelope Audio converters.

[@DaveElke]

Thanks!

[@spunkthecombo]

Fantastic! Great job by both band and recording engineer. Love this series. Are you using any compression or limiting in the recording chain? Thanks.

[@onemic-theminimalist]

not in the record chain - just some in mastering

[@JillTonic]

Keep the recording aside.. This is a great performance of that tune... 👌

[@onemic-theminimalist]

Thank you Jill.

[@fiddlefolk]

Patterson Hood on the drums?
