Recreating the Sound Highlights - Ramble On Acoustic, Van Halen Snare, Black Sabbath Guitar

[@HerrSchnabelewopski]

I'd like to see Angus' tone on the whole Back in Black album. The opening on Shoot To Thrill always gives me chills for some reason. Such a powerfull sound! Don't know if you want to make more of these, because I love them!

[@norwegiansniper9713]

Buy a jtm 45 and get a 4x12

[@TimMaddux]

There's someone who did a video of his attempt at that by replicating the old Schaffer wireless system that Angus (and also EVH I think) used.

[@nuclearreverie5146]

Yeah the Have a Drink on me intro is nice

[@nuclearreverie5146]

As

[@nuclearreverie5146]

Well

[@gmund317]

I love geeking out to this stuff. What a wonderful time to be alive. Thanks Rick and crew!

[@dcarpenter85]

Need more of these recreating the sound videos! Love it.

[@geoffcowan2384]

Can you do more of these? I don’t even care what instrument or song. I just enjoy your technique and attention to detail. Thank you for all you do Rick.

[@abuyco]

You are a real music enthusiast! Your attention to detail with regard to the recreation of the sound on these recordings demonstrates how much you LOVE ❤️ music! As I’ve grown older I think I’ve lost a lot of that loving feeling but when I was younger I don’t think I was even close to the enthusiasm and love you have for music. It’s great that you’re able to make a living on something that you love!

[@peterresetz1960]

“Into The Void” opening has to be one rock/metal coolest riffs.

[@Casey-hz1sn]

Yes please, more of these types of videos!

[@stephentyler4352]

Absolutely solid gold for all of the music junkies especially, like myself!! As a drummer I really appreciate seeing both AVH and Bonzo’s studio sounds recreated. Thank you from the heart to all of you who contributed to this project. Seriously, y’all are saints and sinners of the best variety. ✌🏽🎶🙏🏼

[@christophergetchell6490]

Love this series, wish there were a few more of these!

[@BELightTT]

Rick, you and your entire crew are so generous with your offerings. This video is absolutely amazing!! Who else would so freely delve into all these fine details of the entire recording process from top to bottom?! Really amazing. I agree with other comments on this thread....more videos like this please! 🙏😊 Thanks so much.

[@PaulManningg]

Get a life

[@bertgetner9397]

Awesome. I loved all those episodes. Nailing it every time.

[@katiewardell1656]

I just love this ! I don’t understand it all, but it’s just fascinating!

[@TheLegobug]

These videos are super interesting. We love them, thanks!

[@garykramermusic]

That drummer is phenomenal! Such a perfectly tuned kit as well.

[@mccloysong]

What a great exploration. You got Ramble On nailed. And you even compensated for your performance matching the mastered mix which might explain why his was more compressed

[@sotirios6882]

Watching Rick pumping out that Tony Iommi riff, doesn't get any better that awesome F - Yeah 👊🎸

[@pugster8643]

I would pay top dollar to see more sabbath videos, definitely would LOVE to see one on geezers tone

[@therealsokratis]

Rick - do a vid for the Geezer sound - please!

[@Jay-wk9xj]

Had to buy an Eko acoustic after the Ramble On vid.. love it.

[@kojam1]

Iommi, Page, two PHENOMENAL riff writers! That riff by Iommi is sooooo sweet my blood sugar is through the roof right now!!!

[@Vlajinac]

What's the name of that Black Sabbath song?

[@kojam1]

@@Vlajinac Into the Void from Master of Reality

[@scottmcdonaldAAL211]

This is fascinating - I only wish I had my original hearing before old age got me. You are clearly at an entirely different level of musicality - and kudos for an interesting and informative YT video.

[@CraigHollabaugh]

These process/production videos are so fascinating. I'm a fly on your wall soaking up every second. Thanks from Colorado.

[@jimpoindexter2646]

Has there ever been a rock song recorded that you can't play? Amazing. Love these videos.

[@palidiciovermingagurainia1760]

That Vox is a trip

[@TJ1855]

This is an amazing series Rick. I've always been a pro sound geek and love watching all of your other stuff. You definitely have to do more of these please

[@msPaulaA1]

I loved this the first time and now again even more. This is a great series “Getting that Sound” May I have more please?

[@violao206]

Geeking out to recording studio production techniques is always the best! Thanks, Rick!

[@markliebenthal6092]

Another great video. Rick needs to go on tour.

[@georgemickel6608]

I'm diggin' your 2nd channel and the multiple vids in one.

[@dananthony6258]

Great video. I wish he would do an appetite for destruction break down between Izzy and slash. I wish I was a fly on the wall watching them play off each other.

[@gregwasserman2635]

I really enjoyed all 4 of these vids the first time around. And I enjoyed them just as must this time! I hope you do some more of these vids in the future. I would like some bass vids myself. A good follow up to the Iommi vid would be the bass sound of "Into the Void", may favorite Sabbath tune. Geezer's bass is so heavy, black holes cannot resist it's pull. Another idea is John Paul Jones' bass sound on LZ II. In "Heartbreaker", his bass has such a nasty, dirty grinding sound exemplary of the entire album.

[@leeg7106]

Yeah, right off the bat, I’m going to have to say, this is definitely another one falling under the essentials of Rick Beato’s must see videos.

[@Mrjdmichaelson]

I love Jack's drum play!

[@danepaulstewart8464]

You guys are SAVANTS when it comes to matching guitar sounds. 👍👍

[@thomasmcgill7229]

This is a must see video for anyone wanting to better produce their music. Awesome!!!

[@GobiPup]

It’s amazing how close that Sabbath sound is. Nice job!

[@horrgakx]

This is wonderful. Keeping music alive!!!!!!

[@johnwright5041]

so glad i found this! most helpful, thank you rick.

[@vinceburris2538]

Love these videos Rick. Very cool.

[@OutOnTheTiles]

This is a great vid. Thanks,Rick! ✌️❤️

[@6thwatergateplumber]

Amazing how close you can actually get to this stuff if not right on it in some spots. Fascinating. I wish I had the knowledge of these software abilities. Makes a ton of difference. And while I'm thinking about this it might be pretty interesting to take a whole range of different sounds that appear in different genres of music and show us how they got that sound...

[@jimmyc5498]

Haha, it sounds freakin great before you mic it up. Told my son the other day you would have been deadly as a session player.

[@ColinDaviesGTR]

your Ramble on was close, for sure, but keep in mind the string gauge. you never mentioned it and jimmy was known for light gauges. the lighter gauge probably gave it the little missing top end

[@mdturnerinoz]

Evan as a former cover-band bass player, this was AWE and then SOME!!!! You had me doing the bass along with you (albeit in my head!)!

[@kenschachsieck1357]

Great video, lotsa fun, highly recommended!

[@chrisbunker2117]

I´d love to see you doing the whole process foe one of your own songs.

[@jupitorious7925]

this was very interesting, I learnt so much. Thanks

[@annunacky4463]

Rick got a helluva ear for this stuff.

[@Sean_Farmer]

There were all great videos!

[@scottbaines4747]

Learning about the RB2 channel after three years of following Rick's main channel is like being a 10 year-old who just finished unwrapping all of his Christmas presents under the tree and then being told "But, wait...there's another tree in the next room!" 🎄

[@violao206]

So true!

[@user-xq5ih5oz2u]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@hbrookes]

Rick, I dont know why but youtube keeps canceling my subscription? I have subscribed 3 times in one year? Don't they know I cannot live without your channel? kudos from one musician to another and thanks for sharing your knowledge!!

[@laurentmeiller5171]

hello, wonderfull sound building demonstration, a part of the musical identity one of the most intelligent video on this damn youtube (so few...) !!

[@le_th_]

WOW....no words.

[@TheGrimmRiffer_667]

damn i love this backstage Beato channel... that was cool

[@jiveturkey9993]

These guys are scientists

[@jeremythornton433]

I have an Epiphone bolt on acoustic with the adjustable bridge. Love it although I don't play it enough.

[@Samscoinsandheavymetal]

Superb stuff Rick

[@RedroomStudios]

I would kill to have that VOX acoustic... just cool beyond words!

[@celestialscripture]

Must have been so much fun.

[@carlovalley]

Rick when you use a softer pick you get an even more percussive-acoustic-page-like sound

[@andypearce5537]

Awesome

[@southsideronnie]

Another great video! Thanks!

[@L.Scott_Music]

This is really great stuff. Question, I notice your NS-10m's and would love to hear how you use them in this era given so many alternatives. How are they still useful? (I guessing they are, just would like to here your thoughts.) I have a pair myself and could use advice. My new set up will feature Kali Audio IN-5's.

[@1981times]

I'm a drummer and when he said he did a couple more tweeks tuning the snare drum I envisioned him changing the batter head (one you hit) and the reso head (bottom) back and forth for several hours lol. It's unreal how much different your sound will be when you change the reso tension and then the batter. I don't specifically remember my drum teacher in the 5th grade band teaching us how to replace heads and tune the snare and for some reason I remember him showing us to just tighten the heads about as tight as you can which isn't correct but lol... Anyway, one thing another pro drummer showed me is that after you get the reso head about right if you tighten or loosen just the lugs where the snare wires are on each side it'll greatly change the way the snare sounds and even the way it plays. Same thing if you adjust all the lugs besides the lugs where the snare wires are. The snare wires sit between 2 lugs on each side. So there's 4 all together. Tighten or loosen just those and see how it effects the way the drum plays... There's been a few times I've spent several hours tweeking the snare sound. Eventuay I ended up just tightening everything up about as tight as possible before it breaks and perfect tone 😜

[@bnosel]

Thanks again for no adds. I think I'll stay here as I sense the main channel may be changing soon?? and yes, gaffers tape is not like duct tape, it will not remove warts.

[@shawnstoner3602]

Love for you to more videos recreating timeless tones!

[@davidhoxit4274]

This is great!!

[@Ionx2000]

Seems to me that Jimmy accents the pull off the Bsus 4 as he moves to the A. This was very cool. Thanks!

[@iwct]

That Vox acoustic looks identical to my old Eko Ranger 6 string. Bolt on, very “electric” feeling neck. Miss that guitar, but I wanted a better acoustic (it also weighed a ton!). Keep up the great work, enjoying this in the UK.

[@gregriley1708]

The title here was confusing, made me think of Monte Montgomery's "Stairway to Freebird" lol. I absolutely love this channel. Keep up the excellent work and Godspeed.

[@MySynthDungeon]

Solid! Enjoyed!! Cheers!;-)!!

[@kenvater2843]

I've been arguing for years that to record drums you need to give them the room, close field mics is giving yourself hard work for no good reason, Thank you

[@MrKaufmana1]

So, can you run down the difference between the AKG D12, D20 and D30 mics? Really curious about them.

[@jitsroller]

I've have Ricks' buddies shirt. Psst it's wal-mart but don't tell anyone. Super fun video.

[@davisdeen-ty4so]

RAMBLE ON is a song everyone PLAYS DIFFERENT!

[@davidanthony654]

That acoustic reminds me of my old Eston from the 70s made in Italy it had an adjustable bridge and about a 1/4 inch of lacquer on it, I sanded it off the top but I don't think it made much difference lol. But it had a great neck and sounded really cool with a DeArmond sound hole P/U in it. I've still got it somewhere.

[@RichardDoe]

Would love to see ya tackle the holy grail, recreate the guitar sound on Spirit in the Sky!

[@derrickbaranowsky5715]

I was impressed... that was cool.

[@GuyLeeguitar]

Ramble On - impressive

[@TexDrinkwater]

I love this channel. Rick, you're like the @smartereveryday of music.

[@NytronX]

Rick, can you do a video on this second channel on how to create the acoustic sound of Babe I'm Gonna Leave you. The reverb is ethereal, probably the best tone of any recording acoustic in history.

[@le_th_]

Oh my god, YES. Totally agree!

[@marksvideochannel3592]

Re Ramble on, I often find a thinner pick will bring in some of the brighter attack. I really like the acetate thin ones for this. It seems like this might be a part of the sound Rick was going for...edited - playing closer to the bridge certainly helped a lot.

[@johnharrison6522]

Also missing a pull-off right before the repeat. But he's getting the sound amazingly close.

[@ryderl3988]

I appreciate you Rick...

[@myopicautisticmetal9035]

that shoulder crack almost made me forget the zero fret on that Vox, nice old Vox bolt on!

[@andyryder5287]

On the Alex section I believe there is a gate on the snare which cuts the sound quicker than your SN. Gates were used a lot back then. Nice stuff Rick. Keep riddling.

[@dieselyeti]

Eddie sees Alex tightening snare lugs with cordless drill, gets idea for awesome guitar intro...

[@emo_galaxy9413]

YEAH THOSE DRUMS KILLIN IT WOW! Z stuff for sure! Thanks I miss Gonzo

[@kayakutah]

At around 4:35 or so, it seems as though you have a VERY slightly delayed transition between notes compared to Page's transitions.

[@uptownphotography]

Cool break down of the various parts. Phil NYC Area

[@ROOKTABULA]

First EP I recorded for my band, I actually mic'd the kit basically like they did except I had a PZM in the kick and a 57 on the batter.

[@jiveturkey9993]

One of the most amazing Recreations I've seen is some Orchestra( Philharmonic Orchestra with Ron gessen) in Paris did the atom heart mother Suite. It's practically indistinguishable from the record. I don't have Rick or Dylan Beato's ears but that piece of music sounds almost impossible to recreate.

[@donkick2622]

Ron Gessen, himself, has done some very interesting orchestral recordings.

[@tompoynton]

That Vox really reminds me of my old Eko Ranger 6, from around the same time I think. John Ashton of the Psychedelic Furs gave it to me in 1985

[@pierheadjump]

⚓️ Thanks Rick 😎

[@tepidtooth8539]

@Rick Beato 2 Why have you been reposting your older videos on here? Is it out of fear that they might delete your channel and you’re just preparing? Good idea if so!

[@therover4428]

Amazing video... Thanks!

[@howiethedrummer]

More of these videos.

[@bitsiphon]

17:27 Ricks sound is kinda low in the mix....😁

[@alexm8312]

for the love of god keep making these.

[@BetinaLundkaerJensenartist]

Geee...love the drumming

[@staplests]

How particular were you when recording acts and producing when it came to mic types for specific things, placement, angles, and all of that?

[@Fazzat333]

I’m more of a guitar guy ... But I love Levon Helms thud from his snare drum (maybe a vid for the future)👍
