Hey greeting from India ... You once again proved that creativity wins over material possession... Thanks again for all that help

[@callmedeno]

warren your channel is top notch and your enthusiasm and spirit is genuinely uplifting.

[@Julio3dc]

I love the way you mention the key shortcuts always, great for those who doesn´t know or work on another DAW. Thanks again, nice chord progression by the way!

[@Producelikeapro]

H Julio, thanks very much! So glad to be able to help and show the short cuts! It's so much fun to be able to make these videos! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@thewalrus1968]

marvellous warren .. love your channel .. im currently recording an album of original music after a 20 year break from recording ...your videos have helped me so much to get back up to speed. THANK YOU

[@ArvangathVGM]

Thanks for this video, Warren! Been meaning to thank you for all your work these days. Thanks to you, i understood that it's all about creativity and having something that you love in a song, and recording/mixing is just a part of that process that doesn't have to be scary!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks very much Arvangath for your extremely kind words!! I'm so glad to be able to help! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@joenarbeats]

I produce hip-hop/rap/trap music. I really should be watching you because I want to learn the full spectrum of recording and producing music. Thank you for your help realizing how fun it can be to record a full song playing instruments in Pro Tools!

[@paulgillis883]

Just discovered you and subscribed. I'm going to try and be a sponge; so much to learn. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@TroyShaw]

That's an awesome way to quickly split guitars left and right. I usually just play it twice but I like this technique.

[@RHperc]

Amazing how that production morphed as you went with the flow, and the end result has an incredible amount of emotion going on. You da man Warren!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi RHperc! So glad you enjoyed the video!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@truthfinder4973]

i love the clean guitar tracks its got that 60,s rock sound i love the 60,s i was born 11 years to late lol

[@acpllc3]

Lovely job on this, Warren! Even though I have done that process many times over the years, with DAWS or multitrack tape decks, watching you go through it brings back the memories of discovering how to do it myself. I can only imagine how many folks will discover this and get so much out of it!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi acpllc3, thanks ever so much for your extremely kind words! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@BenjiGamer91]

This is really inspiring ! I basically do the same kind of stuff when I write a song, only with a worse drum simulator, Garage Band, and actually micing my amp. But it was great to see you coming up with such a great sounding song in such a simple manner. I would love to see more of this series, and I would love to see you going from a simple song from start (like this video) to finish (vocals, chorus, bridge, other instruments, etc). Have a good time, and thank you !

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Benji, Fantastic! Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren

[@DrumPlayalong]

Thank you for all videos !!! \m/ Greetings from Germany ! Dankeschön ! :D

YOU ROCK!! Thanks ever so much!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@markuslakanen6173]

Great stuff! Layering guitars is so much fun! Even just watching someone doing it is very enjoyable. I really liked that stereo trick you did with that first guitar track, I'm definitely going to use that on my next project. Thank you once again! Keep up the good work!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Markus, Wow thanks for your extremely kind words!! I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@novastyle68whiskey]

Well, I'd been in a bit of a rut as of late with my tunes... You've helped pull me out of it. Thanks for the inspiration! You're a big help!

[@Producelikeapro]

Wow! Thanks ever so much for your incredibly positive feedback! That's extremely kind of you, so glad to be able to help!! Have a marvellous time making music!! Many thanks Warren

[@novastyle68whiskey]

Yw and TY!

[@rhydermike]

I like the workflow that you used of recording two runs through the main guitar riff and then reversing the order to create the L and R versions. I don't know why I didn't do it like that. Good tip.

[@alexanderflecker6285]

Thank you for all the great work Mr. Huart! Im addicted since months :)

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Alexander, thanks ever so much for your extremely kind words! I really appreciate it! So glad to be able to help!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@ADGreen-es6hm]

Warren you have a wonderful voice , it's seems honest , same goes for guitar and bass . When I hear your voice we'll know it's Warren Huart.

[@soulguitar77]

Thank you Warren, great to see you from your instrumentalist side, very tasteful playing, not to less not to much. This is guitarplaying with producer-ears :)

[@Producelikeapro]

Aw shucks thanks SoulGuitar! You Rock!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@YHRS]

This is the kind of thing that us guys in our basements, garages, and bedrooms need to see. Great job of demystifying the process of putting together a recording project. I hope that every beginner watches this (and your Focusrite package demonstration) and sees that there's no black magic involved. Also, nice job of nailing things on the first take...as a basement barbarian, I may never master that part :)

[@Producelikeapro]

Aw shucks thanks Your home Recording Studio! You are very kind! I am blessed to be able to make music, we all are!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@julian65886]

You are amazing! You did not have to EQ or change the levels of all the guitars and the bass. Everything got recorded perfectly and that is experience.

[@drutgat2]

Thanks for this, Warren. Yup that descending intro. sounds like a mixture of the intro line to 'Strawberry Fields' or 'Bell Bottom Blues'. Love your sense of melody. These are great techniques - taking others with which I am familiar to the next level.

[@CarlosGunX]

You make it look so easy, Mr. Warren......Thanks for the video....BTW.....I highly recommend your Academy to all, been there since the get go and I love it..

[@Producelikeapro]

Aw shucks thanks very much Carlos! You rock!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@fishhead31465]

Thanks a million on recording tips you have shared, it really has helped me in my studio beginnings! 👉💜🎼🎸🎹🎤👌🙏✌️o

[@FrannKavila]

Very, very, very good video. Many thanks from Dominican Republic!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Frann! Thanks ever so much my friend!

[@rabbitnoize]

Thank you sir, your videos are very helpful

[@Mr13wonderboy77]

Thank you for this. I use the Eleven Free plugin all the time. I just finished up a song where I recorded all the guitar tracks with it. Its a great little plugin when you're just trying to get an idea out on the fly and you record in a cramped bedroom that makes it hard to setup an amp and microphone (quickly). A good song doesn't need expensive gear to be good, it just has to be good.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi David, great stuff! Yes I love using it, I blend it with live guitar amps all the time! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@AleksandarStanojkovic]

Hey Warren, I believe that you would of done a lot of good if you said that the best thing to do (if possible) when recording a lot of guitar tracks, is to use a different guitar (or an different amp - even the vst one) for rhythm, lead, arp etc. It really helps the intelligibility of each track and brings out all of the guitars in the mix. Nobody really talks about that (except John Mayer in one of his interviews), and I had to learn that the hard way. Greets from Serbia, and keep up the good work!

[@TheJerry2912]

Thank you for sharing this! I'll try it out as soon as I'm back in the studio again!

[@manicamoebas5323]

Top of your game as always Warren!! Many thanks for your work. Guitar sounds like the beginning of Strawberry Fields.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much!! Have a marvellous time making music!! Many thanks Warren

[@PJSGBC]

That drum printing is why I love offline bounce! No need to wait for the recording... takes seconds to bounce to a file and import it to a track. I have been blown away by amp sim plugins these days. Incredible. Great video.

[@utubehound69]

Runn thru a Tube Pre before the Amp Sim to really Blow yer Mind!!!! I use a lil Art MP Tube Pre. It makes a World of Difference.

[@PJSGBC]

Thanks... similarly to my comment on Amp sims, those good saturator plugins can get a pretty heft tone in the same capacity... run 2 fuzz plugs in series... heavy duty for sure.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi PJSGBC, I know offline bounce is amazing! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@Producelikeapro]

Nice! Thanks very much for the tip Watchman4u! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@Adam-cg3bi]

Really fun and inspiring video! I actually do pretty much this whenever I need some creative outlets, or find some new cool sounds/plugins I want to try, I must have dozens of 1 minute songs in my library haha. Keep up the great work :)

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Adam, thanks ever so much!! I really appreciate it! Haha yes I have many of those 1 min songs as well! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@the.brad.thomas]

Highly inspirational Warren, thanks!! I was waiting for a ripping guitar solo from you hehe

[@robmcdonnell4640]

Hey Warren, Really enjoyed this. As with all your content. Look forward to new stuff coming out. Just as a matter of interest I presume the amp modeling is a plugin and as such you can tweak gain and EQ and turn the trem on and off after the recording for example right? You're content has helped massively with my home recording thanks.

[@tommyradband4069]

So fun to watch and listen to you Warren. I am really diggin' the "Pro Tools riffs' you are sporting, with duplicating then using the copies, reversing the front and back acoustic, so cool, but the timing edits are what I need some instruction on and you use them quite quickly. I.e. when you correct and or substitute measures using the grid, time stretch or condense, just the pro tools edit functions used are a little over my head at times. Been with pro tools for several years now, but there is something new and more amazing each day. So, can you slow down on a 'tracking and editing' with PT's video for me. Thanks, tommyrad

[@DaveToneMusic]

Thanks Warren, another helpful gem. Greetings from Ireland!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Dave, thanks very much! Hello in Ireland!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@fuzzy8mike]

Really nice tune.

[@CarcPazu]

The way I write and put my ideas together is very similar to this. It was cool to see someone that does it a little differently. It gives me some ideas. Good stuff, I hope it helps people that don't know how to start. I believe this is one of the best and fastest way to put your ideas together. Of course afterward you redo everything clean without the loops. Having a real drummer track on it helps gel everything together.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi CarcPazu, great stuff! Yes just get started! Music can be spontaneous!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@storyin_music]

hello sir.. your tutorials are awesome.. can you suggest me some tips to mixing audio for final output.. there was reasonble bass sound hearing in headphone but after output.. wen I play it open in moblie device.. the vocal is hearing far separated from other instruments and there is no bass effect.. plz

[@bigbassjonz]

I know you were just goofing off here, but that tune you wrote is pretty awesome. Reminds me of a beatles track :D Thanks for making these videos.

[@patbreacadh]

Hi Warren, thanks so much for this video! Here I see you have a lavalier. But on some videos I don't see one. I was wondering, how do you record your spoken vocal for the videos? It sounds amazing very crisp, very clean. Is it there a condenser mic off-camera?

[@noisesoundtonevibe]

It's fun to see you have fun and play Brian May parts! Thanks Warren!

[@Producelikeapro]

Aw shucks thanks very much!! I love Brian May's playing! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@CharlesBowyerCyprus]

Hi Warren, I really appreciate your videos, thanks! A producer friend I was working with some years ago, mentioned swapping the red and black speaker cables, in order to record vocals without the use of headphones.. I think he said it put the speakers 'out of phase'?.. Would you recommend this practice, or is noise spillage still an issue?

[@TheMixClub]

I like the track and its fun watching ya work because your relaxed. You did a trick I forgot about shuffling parts around. Not only do I learn from ya I also remember stuff I forgot due to the 70s. LOL

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi The Mix Club, great stuff! So glad to be able to help!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@misterrmjdesigns7197]

nice to see you dropped the NS 10's!

[@eggbass]

Great video, Warren. Which Addictive Drums kit are you using? It sounds great.

[@tibi1687]

it is always a awesome to see you Warren be carried away with the guitar when you teach! I also noticed that when you play guitar and get carried away you all of a sudden get a really growly rockstar mother f*er voice:)) Thats cool! Keep being a brilliant dude! Love your work\m/

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Carp, haha yes busted!! I love playing guitar! I'm blessed to be able to record on the music I produce! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@cleverduckstudio479]

I know it's a little bit late for me, but I just want to say it was amazing! Thx :)

[@jealjufri]

Hi Warren, new subscriber here. a questions.. is there an Input mixer on Protools? like in cubase, they have input mixer, where u can put plugins and theres also a phase reverse button. it really come in handy for phase reversing rather than putting a plugin in a recorded track and reverse it.

[@callmedeno]

any insights or advice on learning guitar? I'm thinking of starting with justin guitar, but I'm afraid of having bad technique, any tips? Practice scales and chord changes for a while, plus songs?

[@Producelikeapro]

That sounds great Thomas! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@ericholt7766]

Im sure you all are aware of this but as you kept layering my thoughts went to entering direct line in tracks and put the eleven on afterward. Then you get to re amp as you will. Many times when layering that thick less is more and I find myself yearning for cleaner amp sets. Just a thought.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Eric, Great comment! I like to commit to sounds that work together well and build as I go! It's just about making t great as you go! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@jamieaddisonmusic]

I know this is quite a basic question, but if I wanted to film myself playing guitar along to a song what is the best setup for recording the guitar I'm playing and song I'm playing to while filming it? I have a TC Helixon Voice Live 3 that could work as a USB connection

[@rolandlemus203]

My first attempt at trying to put something together on a DAW created song for KZbin was not successful.. How did you edit the video and mix the video with the audio in Studio one professional ? I have dragged my video into the track, (I using windows 10 using both quicktime and Sony Playtimememories, BOTH work with getting the video audio in, but can't edit from there. meaning I have used the feature to extract the audio, but I cannot get my lead playing into that track with the backing track already in there. in presonus they state you can edit a track and even replace the audio completely and then put the video together with the new mix from studio one. Is there some place I can go and read this, or any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Help please.

[@edmoor9366]

Dear Warren, what are your thoughts on the Neumann kh 120a monitors vs the Genelec 8030/40

[@MusicMastaJones]

This was awesome! I not only found this video helpful, but also really inspiring for some of my own song ideas. I would very much like it if you could try doing something that incorporates some midi, as well as possibly maybe getting to a chorus? Either way love the video. Hope to see many more of these.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Mackie, that's great! I love being able to show people how my creative process works!! Yes I will definitely do some more videos using MIDI as well! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@jdj62464]

I've never used Pro Tools and want to know if you can isolate tracks from a older song and loop it and slow the part down without changing the pitch so you can learn the song or section? Meaning for example can I load a Zeppelin, Van Halen or whomever onto my computer then using Pro Tools break that song's tracks down (guitar, bass, drums, keyboard) so it's the only part you hear and slow it down without changing the pitch? Also can you set that track up on a continuous loop so you don't have to keep restarting a part? I also would like to know if you can do that with Pro Tools is it possible to remove certain tracks and record my own tracks and use the other tracks. Such as say I wanted to remove the guitar or bass track from a older song and record my own parts while keeping all the other tracks (drums, guitar, bass, vocals)? If I can do this with Pro Tools which version would be best for doing that? Which system is better and Easier to use, PC or Mac? If I can't do this with Pro Tools does anyone know of Software or Device that can? Preferably one that's Dummy Proof or geared for Dummies, as that has my name all over it.

[@shadowmassproductions4485]

Hi Warren, still attracting new interest :) on a completely non musical note, the Spitfire picture in the background, what's the association? or just like military aircraft?

[@jaredholton3145]

Warren, Awesome job at recording the track! I have a question though. If you were to want to create a scratch track to send to a drummer, how do you go about creating a scratch track? How do you go about making sure notes are in time, while keeping the original feel of the track? Anytime I start utilizing elastic time functions, it seems to lose the "feel" of the track, but I want a tight track for the drummer to record to. Any suggestions? As always, thank you for your advice!

[@Fezzler61]

Would love to see "extension" of this same basic idea where you add keys and midi brass of some type.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Fezzler, definitely! I would love to do more in this series! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@petermarkovic8837]

Hi Warren, I really like that tune, I'm trying to figure it out. You said A Bm G Bm E I think) I cant see the chords your playing as your descending?

[@rainbowgames1]

Warren, what converters are using to track here? I see that you have AVID interfaces but they don’t seem to be monitoring what you’re recording so I assume they are not being used on this track? Looks like maybe the device between the two AVID interfaces is the interface/converters you’re using in this session. Is that a Lavry Blue? Would really appreciate your response as I’m having a hard time deciding on converters and I like the sound of this recording.

[@cane.srbljanovic]

Thank you. Learned something from you.

[@rickm28]

Marvelous video! You identified the Yamaha guitar, but that bass remains a mystery. What is it?

[@guerosensible]

Hi Warren, i´m starting in this "home studio" world and i want to know if miking the amp for the guitar is really important. Keep on with your channel!

[@michaelhatton3252]

I just wondered how you're able to monitor the protools output whilst recording, even with a plugin on. I always get latency when trying to listen to what's actually going into pro tools. Thank you

[@timmorris5117]

Dude, Im using Presonus S1 so a little different setup, but either way i got onto your channel from Tim Pierce , you both have great content !...really liking your ideas and thanks for sharing them with us lesser mortals ! Looking forward to watching more

Are you able to use plug-ins on guitar recorded with mic and amp?

[@KneedleKnees]

Are there any videos on building a studio?

[@marcsalvador3497]

Somebody knows if he have changed the guitar pickups? Or are they just the original ones? Thanks buddies! :)

[@DiogoSarcinelli]

Hi, Warren, how are you doing? Great video! Is you Protools license HD? Do you honestly think upgrading do HD is worth for someone with limited income? I currently use Logic and I do like it, but I was thinking in getting the student license on Avid's website to get a verview on Protools since I've never used it. It would be better for me, since I wouldn't be limited on using only apple computers and everyone (from windows to mac users) uses Protools. Best regards from Brazil, Warren!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Diogo, that's a big question! For me when I'm tracking a full band live I feel I need to use HD. But if I was just doing a vocal and mixing I probably would stay native. I hope that helps? Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@cptrobby5700]

Fantastic Warren! Can you post a keyboard oriented version of this video as well (including how you do a keyboard bass and drums for A section, B sections, etc)? I've been doing this but for some reason I always feel that what I produce in my home studio are more demos than recordings that can go on an album of songs - best!

[@Producelikeapro]

HI Rob, definitely! That sounds like a great idea! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@WayneB06]

Very cool!

[@evelasq1]

Nice Job!

[@inkofthedragon]

I noticed when you are playing back the guitar tracks that one of the tracks is still armed. Usually when I have a track still armed, I can't hear the playback of that track. How'd you do this? Would be super helpful when I'm doing vocal punch ins, etc. Thanks and marvellous channel!!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Ink of the Dragon, great question! You can hear it when you are not in input, meaning when you are monitoring input you won't hear playback. So hit option K to toggle between input and playback of the track. Does that makes sense? Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@mycbeats1276]

My ghetto fix for guitar buzz, grab a piece of thin gauge wire, strip the ends, loop it around something metal on your guitar (pickup switches works well) and loop the other end to your pinky finger to make yourself a human ground point. No more ground noise haha

[@utubehound69]

Or get a EB Tech Hum Eliminator the 1/3 Rack Space one or the 1 unit Rack . IF you can still find them last I saw they have a WalWart that has the EB Hum Eliminator in it but I haven't tried it. But the Others Rack Units are AMAZING Best device since the BBE Sonic Maximizer. Great for Studio & Gigging at venues w/Dimmer's, bad wiring , Florescent lights…A Must for PA systems. As well as The BBE Sonic Maximizer for PA's Once you use it.. it's as though you took a Pile of Blankets off the Speakers!!!! Amazing even non Audio People can hear the Huge Difference. It don't add anything i.e. no sub harmonics like other companies that have products that do add Freq's that wasn't there before which can be a good tool i.e. the best like design is the Peavy Kosmo. Sadly they stopped making it. But the BBE Sonic maximizer it Time Aligns the Key Cross over Points L/M M/H . So After using that BBE I had to Flatten the EQ not Necessary in fact. I know one studio owner that has a BBE mounted under his desk so when he plays back the songs He Kicks in The BBE for the Over the TOP Wow factor. No matter how good the speakers…They do suffer this phenomenon the time alignments mess w/those Freq's that cross over at key points that cause cancelation of certain Freq. & or Phase Issues solved w/this One Product thats Not that expensive, I bought a Bunch of the Table top versions they made years ago. I have em stashed away. If my Rack one's Bit the dust.

[@55MyCountry]

Hi Warren. This doesn't half remind me of a Mott The Hoople track from the seventies, but I can't remember the title.

[@FransJCMartins]

Thanks for all the informative vids! I prefer to track my guitars through my amp as it makes up so much of my signature sound. I normally have an e906 on the grill, a stereo pair AKG 214's about 2 inches off, a SM27 about 2 ft away and a H&K red box line out. Gives me 5 all in time signals to mess about with.sometimes I only use maybe two, other times more.

Awesome. I really feel the vibe of that progression. By the way, what kind of drums sound would you go for in this style in particular? Probably a really up-front snare with a long reverb tail, followed by some really present kick and "warm" hi-hat? Thank you for your videos, I see you have a marvelous time teaching haha
