Julian! Hope all is well.

Great stuff -- I'm sure it was quite the session. Site reading their music -- ok.

[@Ultimatestudiosinc]

Not a fan of reading? They write so much material this is about the only way it could work. We’ve tracked 24 songs in less than a year and I know Mike easily has another 3 albums worth of material. They’re also in different cities while they are writing and this is how they send ideas and finalize songs. Honestly it’s quite helpful.

[@itnefer4787]

Nice set up with the Engl. Just a quick question as I struggle a bit with it. How differently do you EQ the lead sound in comparison to the rhythm one?

[@Ultimatestudiosinc]

Well that really depends on the rhythm tones around the lead. On the amp it might be as simple as changing the gain or tweaking the mid/hi a bit to separate it from the rhythms. If I'm mixing I'll always eq the lead with the rhythms playing. I have found that to be the easiest way to find the right frequency to make the lead jump out over the rhythm guitars. Honestly though I try to eq heavy guitars like this as little as possible.If we are successful in recording the tones we want it shouldn't take much eq when mixing. Usually a little cleanup and maybe a little extra presence or bite.

Awesome dude. !! Check out my channel for the stuff I recorded in my bedroom studio. I did drums guitar bass and keys and tracked it all on a 18 channel interface with very minimal gear. All ITB. I love this channel. Dude you have helped me so much especially with drums last few years.

[@Ultimatestudiosinc]

Great sounding stuff! Some nice writing too. Thank you for the kind words and taking the time to watch.

[@SoundAloneband]

@@Ultimatestudiosinc thank you. That means a lot. I try to do what I can with the stuff I have. Your channel though has helped a ton. Especially the mid/side drum room thing and running pedals through keyboards etc. I appreciate all the insight you have! I would love to have an actual studio space and a analog desk like a triton or API SSL etc. one day. Also killer drumming man. I used to tour as a session drummer for a few metal blade acts from 2007-2011. So I know a good player!

Fire the jerk who forgot to plugin the camera mic. That's unforgivable.

[@Ultimatestudiosinc]

I shall banish him from the studio! 😂 Hope you’re doing well!
