Maren Morris and that band make it easy for an iPhone to sound good. Thx for the invite and see yall next time! PM3, no outboard, no plugins. 24 KSL and 20 SL subs 🥵
All sm57’s on a kit. No plugins. Only console EQ. You can buy 8 of these for $600 used. I knew this would be good but the overheads shocked me tbh. You gotta try this. Drum kit is mahogany with a black beauty snare. Rivage console and RIO pre’s. Console Compression on snare mics and overheads. No parallel comps anywhere. Recording is from the console USB recorder dry. 🤷🏼‍♂️ 🤷🏼‍♂️ @shure thanks @anthonykalenyuk for making this happen and drumming!
No video clips. Just audio. Live band tracks and a @wavesaudio LV1 Classic.
You ever wonder what a 2dB bump at 1.3k actually sounds like?
Not what it looks like. Here’s the deal…you don’t really learn to hear until your eyes stop helping.
This podcast forces that.
No visuals to lean on. No graphics.
Just your ears and the truth.
If you’re serious about getting better, this will speed that up.
If you’re not… you’ll hate it.
New episode is live. Kick and Snare.
My chick bad yall. When your wife is your partner it’s a super power. It makes solving problems 100x easier when you can do it together. 5 episodes of the new podcast are now edited thx to her! 🚀. Aaaaand she’s hot 🥵 @southern_drawl_yall
Drummer: “We can’t afford Zildjian or other nice brands. We’re endorsed by Heartbeat (20% off). We’ve broken and replaced 3 crashes this year, their customer service is stellar. They put us on their website!”
Vocal getting harsh when it’s loud? Try this instead of dynamic eq on the high mids, or cutting high mids w EQ.
This has revolutionized the way I mix vocals. I want the vocal so clear you can understand every lyric without reading them at all volume levels. And for it to never feel like an ice pick to the dome.
When the melody in the verses and pre-chorus is lower melodically than the chorus what the vocal sounds muddier singing from a lower register and more chest voice. Most of the time the singer actually gets closer to the mic in those lower registers to hear them selves better because they’re singing quieter, causing proximity effect. Then, when they get to the chorus, it can be a full octave higher. You’ll see a natural distance increase from the mic, proximity effect lessens from the shift in vocal range. the low mid opens up, they can shifting and their chest.
Here it is. I ride the low mid cut on the vocal. Not the high mid. If a vocal becomes too harsh, you don’t always have to cut out the high mids, sometimes the problem with a harsh vocal is you’ve just taken out too much low mids.
I saw Chris Greely do this 10 years ago and I haven’t mixed without doing this since. If you can ride the faders you should the EQ also.
And no, I don’t want to dynamically expand the low end atomically. ; )
