The Beatles “A Day In The Life” Recreated with Waves Plugins!

[@farosonico]

You can download the presets from the Waves Blog. www.waves.com/recreating-the-beatles-sounds-free-presets

[@kevinsturges6957]

Wow, fantastic!

[@zwsh89]

Hi There, thank you for putting this together, super useful!! I was wondering if you had a place to download the presets for the individual plugins rather than the in the studio rack format. Waves has not updated studio rack to work on Apple Silicon M1 computers, which I am using. Unfortunately, I downloaded the presets from this link, and my computer doesn't know what to do with them. Do you have settings for ADT, the REDD, the Saturator, the J37, etc that can be downloaded individually?

[@farosonico]

@@zwsh89 i'll see if i can make individual plugin presets. Will open the session soon, thanks!

[@zwsh89]

@@farosonico awesome-thank you!!! No pressure, but it would be awesome to have!

[@spatrick898]

That was great. I recorded the entire Sgt. Pepper album 20 years ago with a friend of mine on a four track. Note for note. I still love it. Thank you!

GREAT! The best version made so far in the music industry! You have proven that with execution you can do anything in the audio field! Lessons for plugin brands or sound cards etc ... Greetings from Romania P.S. I invite Paul McCartney to congratulate you in public!

[@SonicFlowAudio]

Wow this was an AMAZING video. Well done….Im mixing a Motown record right now so not being afraid to see all the saturation stack up is relieving! Well done.

[@farosonico]

thanks!

It helps to use the original EMI Studios EQ points 100hz, 2.7khz, 3.6khz and 10khz.

WOW...so cool. I have all the Abbey Road collection but haven't done too much with it yet. This is a great video

[@farosonico]

Its a great collection, you can do pretty much everything with it.

[@LeKing56]

So inspiring! I have to try as well to give me constraints on order to push boundaries of creativity! You are a true artist sir.

Thank you! Make some music!

Right on! Fabulous dude

[@kevinsturges6957]

I love the idea of how you stacked Tape Sims on top of each other. It sounds just like they were bounced.

[@farosonico]

That's was the purpose. If It sounds the same, who knows. But i think It works.

[@schance1666]

incredible job; and your English is great man! incredibly insightful to see how you mimicked what they did. i wish you'd be willing to release the music-only as a karaoke wav file! or maybe even the Pro Tools files ;-) ok, i'm getting crazy now... thanks for the killer vid!!

Enjoyed the making with all that history thrown in and a lesson on going all out to recreate history. Quiet a lesson there. Many Thanks.

[@andypickeringmusic]

Amazing use of the Daw, so much processing, huge session and yet sounds so natural and minimal ! I record on a 4 track/daw using a lot of the old school techniques you applied here. Loved the Cover. Thank you 😊

[@farosonico]

Thank you! Still today, much more can be done with creativity and careful work rather than 64gb of ram.

[@andypickeringmusic]

@@farosonico for sure! I filmed a video (on my channel) of my work flow recording a song with the 4 track and prosessing in the box, then printing it on the tape. Check it out if you get some time, it's great to find a musician/producer who understands that sound. Cheers!

[@farosonico]

@@andypickeringmusic cool! I will

[@GwynAshtonMusic]

That was really cool. I'm wondering if Waves had released the RS124 and Puigchild at that stage? That would have been cool if you'd used them instead of the 1176 and Saturator. But it still sounds fantastic.

[@farosonico]

yeah, but the 124 was not available yet.

[@CesarBenzoni]

Genius!

[@VolkovithaDesu]

Cuando vi el cover dije wow vaya pedazo de pieza maestra, pero cuando vi este vídeo con todo lo que llevo consigo estoy completamente segura que realmente fue una obra de arte, muy muy bien ❤️

Hey FaroSónico, that was utterly brilliant. Your attention to detail was incredible here. Bravo! How do I find your SoundRack presets? I don't see them at the Waves site? Or did I misunderstand?

[@farosonico]

Thanks! in the Waves blog there is a blue button "Download presets". www.waves.com/recreating-the-beatles-sounds-free-presets

[@MikeBrayton]

Ah, I see them. Thanks so much.

[@ChristianPaulDelage]

This isn't too long at all, I wish there were more of these! Awesome job! Would you give a go at any song from the White Album? Curious to see how else you would use the TG12345. Great performance, great video, keep it up!

[@farosonico]

Im on it!

[@1950flandert]

wow

[@wendolynnlanders8232]

Great job! :)

[@DannyKavka]

What microphone and preamp are you using for the vocals and piano? (It looks like a U87 or U67) How did you record the vocals so close to the mic without build up in the low end/sibilance? Fantastic recreation! A+++

[@farosonico]

Wish i had a Neumann! For the piano i used a Lewitt LCT 140 and a Rode M3. For vocals y usually use other microphones but for this i used a Studio Projects B1 thru a DBX376 preamp. I like a lot to sing close to the microphone and use the foam cover instead of a pop filter. The capsule is a little off axis to avoid sibilance and for the low end i use the cut switch at 70 hz

[@ronnybueller]

Wow!!!!!

[@allinthemind2006]

It sounds fuckin great

[@sevchyk]

Well, sounds like a home recording with some plugins applied.

[@farosonico]

it is

[@sevchyk]

@@farosonico But the goal is to recreate the expensive studio sound?

[@MonsieurVersatile]

Interested you used the 1176 rather than a Fairchild emulation which is what they used?

[@farosonico]

I think the Fairchild should be part of the Abbey Road Collection. I used the 76 cuz its the one i have. I do have a Fairchild style plugin, but its not Waves', so i left It out.

[@MonsieurVersatile]

@@farosonico I guess you'd have to use the Puigchild which is Waves' Fairchild emulation.

[@dc37wwe2kmods]

Good day! I downloaded the preset you had boy it's great! I just have one issue though, it's about the delay on the john lennon's preset. In this video, the feedback and delay was very good and well suited. However in my song, it kinda feels weird and sounds more like a microphone or something - it doesn't give off that john lennon mellow voice vibe. Can you help me out? Btw thank you so much for such informative video!

[@farosonico]

probably gain staging. If your track is too loud maybe it is overdriving the tape.

[@patrickjosephtobin8014]

how did you mic the drums they sound great ? & what mics ?

[@farosonico]

i took a very simplistic approach, based on photos of Ringo recording and online info about their gear. I used a kickdrum microphone (Lewitt 340 rex) an overhead (AKG D190) an SM57 under snare and a Low tom microphone (AKG D222) The floor tom was tuned really low, to emulate the sound of timpani. How i mixed them, is in the video.

[@trevorfox598]

whoop whoop!

[@farosonico]

Whoop whoop my friend!

[@SonicWizKid_Kates]

This is absolutely brilliant. I just upgraded my WAVES plug-in collection to include this full bundle. I must confess that I am confused by the pre-sets, which I downloaded. How do I know which preset goes to which plug-in? Or can I just put them all in the effects rack plug-in...? I don't quite get this part and instructions on the internet are confusing. Many thanks for any guidance you may provide.

[@farosonico]

Hi! All of the presets are for Studio Rack, you need to install It first. AND they are labeled by instrument (bass, guitar, Lennon, etc.)

[@SonicWizKid_Kates]

@@farosonico fantastic! George Martin is my hero, and now you are another. What an amazing forensic analysis of this work you have done. I've been using the Abbey Road mastering plug-in for about a year now, but you've inspired me to get the rest, and already I am learning so much. Thank you so much, sir!

[@farosonico]

They are fantastic plugins, and StudioRack makes them super powerful. You can buy them from the links in the description of this video with a discount.

[@SonicWizKid_Kates]

farosonico yes, I just made sure to get them all, and a few others. I come from radio, and mostly do cinematic sound design now, as well as some music. These tools are great to add to any sonic arsenal. Thank you again for your inspiration and guidance. Some of what I’ve done over my lifetime is here: www.soundcloud.com/bill-kates ...I never met a Beatle, though I did once have to dial Ringo and put him on hold for Joe Walsh to pick up. And a highlight of my life was spending an afternoon in a NY radio studio recording interviews and chatting with George Martin.

[@nintendobl00d]

would you be willing to share the stems for this for others to practice mixing? Thanks!

[@farosonico]

i´ll probably do in the future but not right now, thanks!
