SIMON PHILLIPS - BAE 1084 SNARE EQ + HONKEY TONK WOMAN EQ

Simon Philips brings BAE AUDIO inside Phantom Recordings to discuss how he EQ's his snare drum in two different ways with the BAE 1084.

[@Fabelnegros]

Even without the EQ engaged, It sounds fantastic, I swear ! 😚

[@razvanlupu7507]

Excellent ideea coming from a true master of drums and studio work,as well.Thank you for the tip,mr Phillips.

[@Deriolama]

For recording drums, Neve and API are the best. Simon Philips is not only a good drummer but a very good producer.... by the way, it is a very beautiful studio

[@Gretsch0997]

“Sounds like there is a compressor on it.” Am I missing something? ( if you look closely, behind him, the Dbx compressor is reducing deep into the red)

[@multoc]

Lets add 60Hz....oh mannnnn lol

[@waterwoodguitars6871]

Yeah, I was a little baffled by this one....

[@crmatt99]

The compressor could be on a room mic... The point he was making about a "compressor sound" is cranking the preamp and attenuating the level with the fader.

[@simonbezek6382]

He tweaked the gain knob and lowered the fader so it started saturating, making it sound compressed. I think

[@kenmccormack7297]

No, dbx comps doing 30db of compression don't sound like that, yikes! Also, the compressor didn't move when he changed the gain... throwing an extra +30db of pre would have splattered that compressor ... so it's not on the snare insert (it's another mic) :P The "compression" he's talking about is the transformer stage saturation, etc.

[@zenkyjugo7888]

Thanks!Simon is very instructional...

[@Simonewhitesim-1music]

So cool!

[@cydrums3411]

You the man Simon!

[@gaboonschoolofmusic9848]

Love to get a bmc10 for myself …huge fan

[@micahalston8974]

Do you like the Api sound on your Drums

[@jg1503]

When the engineer goes to the bathroom.

[@nickmandleberg]

😂🥁

[@IslandDigital]

Gee , how much is it for just that EQ setup , 21K ?

[@dimoscondos]

there is a dbx 160 in the background working with every snare hit..... so don't say that the preamp works like a compressor... when you hit it harder.... com'on Simon....

[@TeleCustom72]

Wow, that’s a LOT of 10k, just needed backed off a bit, was really harsh and thin.

[@Kynect2Hymn]

He's probably got horrible hearing from all the drum gigs lol.

[@m.o.n.d.e.g.r.e.e.n]

to me 10k + is often cute in solo but i find you can get build ups of the sweet stuff and it just ends up being trash

[@eatpeople420]

Bmc?

[@RiotHomeRecording]

Sure, BCM.

[@johnmartin5153]

Still too much ring

[@axollner6722]

EQ makes it much louder than flat, no wonder it sounds better but how could you evaluate without context?! Its obvious no tutorial, its just an ad...

[@m.o.n.d.e.g.r.e.e.n]

i did think that when the A/B happened like we are listening to quite a few db there. always really surprised to see experienced engineers abing without even slightly level matching. but maybe he's done it so long he doesn't actually AB and this was just for the tutorial i dont know

[@axollner6722]

@@m.o.n.d.e.g.r.e.e.n Sometimes its just extremely expensive so it have to sound good. Maybe only the red neve-style buttons make it sound good sometimes :D

[@TheRealCowlick]

@@m.o.n.d.e.g.r.e.e.n It‘s common for experienced engineers to not level-match after processing. From a certain point on, you know how it sounds and what‘s changing and often times you push certain frequencies into the desired level you want them to sit in the mix anyway.
