About Spectre Sound Studios:
I'm Glenn Fricker, engineer here at Spectre Sound Studios. I love making records, and after doing it for sixteen years, I want to pass on what I've learned. On my channel you can find tutorials on how to record guitar, bass, real drums and vocals. There's reviews and demos of tube amps, amp sims, drums, mics, preamps, outboard gear, Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, and plugin effects.
We've covered Moon on the Water, played Bias FX, given you the absolute best in Stupid Musician Texts, ranted & raved about bass guitar, and this channel is where The Eagle has Landed.
Everything you've wanted to learn about recording Hard Rock & Heavy Metal can be found right here on this channel!
I also respond to your comments & questions: The best make it into the SMG Viewer's Comments series of videos. Loads of fun, lots of laughs.
Thanks for checking out my channel & please subscribe!

I listened to Judas Priest's Painkiller album for the first time the other day, front to back, and it was awesome. The drumming on it was one of the best drum performances I'd ever heard. Anyone who says Priest isn't metal is a gatekeeping moron.

[@andyh0010]

That was my first Priest album.... I then went and bought all of them on cassette !! And then later on vinyl, and then on CD.

[@yoshikamiyafujidesu]

When I heard Breaking the Law first, I thought Judas Priest wasn't very metal and more hard rock stuff. Then I heard Painkiller (the song) and was blown away. That song is a serious headbanger.

Here's a free tip for the band who's going to record in a studio for the first time: Be sure to have 150% of the agreed payment at your disposal. That way you'll never end up making an ass out of yourself, when the tech actually wants money for doing extra work. It's in high value to be known as a serious musicians in studio circles

[@theconvert1208]

My personal opinion of modern metal is that not only the bands, but even whole genres are so homogenous. Check out Sad Wings of Destiny-high energy metal, stomping crushing metal, and even an awkward piano crooner. And yeah. It sounds pretty funny today, but this explains two reasons I like them: they had wide tonal and expressive variation and they were willing to take risks. The reason the early giants deserve respect is I their music, but also in their courage to do something different. For all the bravado and production of modern metal, I’d say they are musical cowards. Think you aren’t? Then play a six minute piano ballad in a semi-operatic construct at your next show.

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

Sad Wings is my favorite record, EVER. Because of aforementioned stylistic shifts & just overall awesome songwriting.

[@hedonisticpunkvatos]

New Subscriber here. Dig the channel. Very informative (I've learned a lot), and also very entertaining! Keep it up, especially with bassist digs! jaja!

[@ZethKeeper]

Just to be sure you'll see this: Master channel in Reaper has mono button, but all DAW nowdays. But I noticed recently that it has a few mono models: L+R (which is default), only L or only R or L-R. So, what should I use for mixing? What mono model most modern mono systems rely on? Asking cuz if I switch to Only L model all my sound suddenly gain better mono compitability, but I don't know if that's right for best transfer to other systems. I suspect the answer is it's always left, but I want to be sure.

[@trikone14]

Stereo in analog consoles was 2 mono channels on called L outputting to the left speaker and called R outputting to the right. These are represented on reaper by the L or R mono channels. You should instead use the L+R which compacts both channels into one so everything still works clean even if you do have elements panned.

[@trikone14]

Also mono compatibility comes from not having a lot of stereo separation and effects like phaser,chorus,LFO's etc. Try to remove these before trying to mix in mono. Adding them later on is fine as long as you dont mess up the phase or add gain.

[@ZethKeeper]

Thanks. The thing is, if I switch to Only L, is sounds cleaner than L+R to me. And also, all mono instruments and synths are usually utilizing L channel for mono, so, here comes my question =)

[@martinhauge4325]

You would normally mix in stereo. If you're in mono it's usually to check that your mix will still work on mono systems, and then you need to use L + R, because that's what they do. This is where problems like cancellation between the two sides will show up. Only L or only R is just for listening to one side at a time, not usually something you want. It's a bit like a solo button, almost. You mention mono instruments using L, that's not really true. They just use one half of a stereo channel, it doesn't matter which. They should get panned to somewhere else in the stereo image anyways (you don't want all your mono instruments to end up in the left speaker!). L - R is also for special purposes, it sort of removes the center and lets you listen to the sides only - if you ever come across mid/side stereo that's L-R in one channel and L+R in the other, but it's not something you'd normally use. If L sounds better than L + R, that means that you have elements in L and R that cancel each other out, that's exactly the sort of problem you try to spot by listening in mono.

[@ZethKeeper]

Thanks much, Martin. That's the answer I was looking for.

A recent one a promoter who I refused but threatened me by saying they've already put my information on their promotional material.

[@enlightendbel]

Ya know, I'm pretty damn good with tech, mechanics, electronics, electrics. But before I got all that experience, when I got my first guitar in the early 90's, I had fret buzz issues, there was no Internet around and I didn't even know there was such a thing as magazines about guitars and musical instruments. So I went back to the store to ask how to deal with these issues. The guy at the store had my guitar replaced 3 times, then fucked around with a couple sets of new strings a couple of times and eventually told me it must be me and how I play so I should buy another guitar model. By that time every alarm sound I ever heard was echoing in my brain and I started asking around BBS, went to a regional music school, even asked a street musician, who then finally told me about the damn bolt in the neck. I suspect though that if the internet existed back then I'd have figured out the issue quite a bit sooner. But just to say, this isn't always the guitar players fault. Finding correct information can sometimes be a bit of a clusterfuck, even if you go directly to people that should know how to help you. That's why I really seriously thank you, Glenn. A well deserved fuck you man, we thank you for your service.
