I can attest to the guitar tracking. I did a record with John Feldmann once and it took about a day to do a full song. (stereo gtr tracks). You spend more time tuning than playing. We would also hold the chord on a fretboard and the engineer would tune the offensive string (usually G) into pitch, then punch that one chord in......I also learned not to strum the guitar too hard because you knock it out of pitch.

Just stopping in to bask in the glory of my 15 seconds of fame as “the guy” who taught legendary mix engineer Jval how to edit drums. 😂 Let the record show that when I entered Sundown Studios in 2007, crippleware Protools LE *DID NOT* have multi-track Beat Detective and THIS was the reason for the for the manual editing method. Jordan thinks he was the one with reservations about the edits but imagine my frustration when I realized “ugh I gotta do this by hand one hit at a time 😒…” Furthermore, starting at the end of the track is preferred because the transients of the preceding clip are not covered up when you snap to grid. I still generally edit back to front.

Cool to find out the person behind the mixing of the Remarkably Human. When it was released, I listened it non-stop for a weeks and still listen it quite often. Now that I've started to produce my own music, I've used that record as a reference. Of course, the feeling and the composition of the songs, Nicks virtuosity with the guitar and overall balance makes it really great album, but I've also found it to be the really pleasant and balanced mix too. Being that complex music it still is very clear and fresh sounding and kinda as "simple" as it can be, thanks to the mixing. The album has also influenced me to use a lot more piano in my songs since those sound so good on the album.

Interesting story. While I do not produce music for a living, I have picked up things here and there over the years myself, and always trying to improve my skills, where I can. The best thing I am have done is prebuilt a drum template with the plugins that I want applied to each drum, cymbals, virtual drum room. Such a huge time-saver. Also taking it to another level and prebuilding the guitars, bass and vocals with the plugins I want applied to them. Even if I do not ultimately use all those pre-built tracks (I call them the "swim-lanes" in Cubase). I also went from using my Line 6 Guitar Port to a BIAS FX2 and started using the tones that come with it with a few tweaks. Constantly learning. Constantly growing. But yeah make sure those guitars are in tune and have the proper intonation. Also you will laugh when I tell you that I use low dollar Logitech PC speakers to mix, and some AKG HP4- headphones. I will sometimes mixdown to MP3 and then listen in my vehicles or in headphones on my Android for comparison. Again, always learning.

Yeah, I so a similar thing. However, from watching this video I thought about how I wouldn't snap drums to the grid but just go away and try to play them better. I like that the production work forces you to really listen to your performances and overall song arrangement but ultimately I prefer to try to feed it back into my playing rather than try to produce a hit sounding album through production. It's a hobby/pastime for me really :)

Good video! some comments on the points you made: #1: yeah this is what separates the engineers from the bedroom musicians! I interned (at this point it felt like an assistant job that i didn't get paid for since i was setting up and tearing down most sessions with the assistant engineer) during some huge sessions and it was like we set up and just let the artist do their thing knowing it would sound incredible later because we prepared and setup mics perfectly and fast. this is why workflow is so important in the end! our job is to have a session super smooth for the artist and producer so they don't even realize we are there. we are pro tools operators and mic placers at the end of the day. The producer can be i want a warm guitar sound for this part, it's our job to know which mic will be best for it (likely a ribbon) and know where to place it on the guitar/cab. mixing shouldn't be about tone crafting and cleaning up bad sounds, it should be about putting stuff in a place to hit your emotional center. #2/3: i disagree, drums shouldn't always be edited to a grid, they need to be edited to the song and the other instruments. if the rest of the track is to a grid then yes do it, but if you want feel it needs to be edited to the other instruments. If you aren't editing drums and the other parts it won't have that pro record sound that's for sure! having something out of time can seriously mess up the phase of the bass relationship along with other parts. the tighter stuff is the more they will gel and sound bigger together because they are more in phase. same applies to guitars. Things need to be tight not necessarily to a grid, but with each other. As far as putting the time in for guitars: yes i totally agree, BUT good luck finding a budget for that when you are working with small artists. #4: oh hell yeah! never skip on pre-production! If it doesn't already sound like a record you gotta keep in that phase and tweak. Sadly i feel like most unsigned indie bands these days are just releasing pre-production recordings because they can't afford recording studios. I started out doing pre-production sessions with local bands for free. definitely helped get my name around town and one band member of one of those bands is now huge on youtube. so that counts for something haha. #5: confidence is everything. if you don't have clear confidence in your decisions the mix won't be good. It's something i'm still working on today. But when i get in that groove it just works. Most people don't focus on the details we hear and the more we fixate on those fine details the worst the general picture gets. if you focus on the big picture and only work on the details that improve that picture it'll go much better. and of course if you made sure to get good recordings it makes this process a whole lot easier and quicker.

I got something to say about drum editing.... I love it. I teach it. If it's done right, you preserve the human element and gently massage things to just fit better. Now, you can't polish a cow pie, as we say I'm the south, so there's a lot to be said for good and great performances. But you can take a good performance and have it gel a bit better with the other components that make up a song. I would have a different opinion for songs recorded with the full band live on the floor, but if you're tracking the band separately, drum editing ensures that whomever is tracking after drums has something reliable to track to without having to predict if the next beat will be a little ahead or a little behind.

I do all these things as well. I put the drums on the grid, then the same with the bass. Then I tighten the guitars, putting the first guitar on the grid as best I can, (it's a lot easier if you have DI tracks. It's harder to align amped, distorted guitars) then aligning the second guitar to the first.

I think the Jonas brothers one still shows that shooting out gear etc is important. For a complete beginner, hearing differences in gear on multiple sources can help greatly. I just graduated audio school and my mixes suck but I instantly know what I am going to use, what my signal chain is, mic position etc or when I mix, what EQ or compressor would solve an issue or bring out something I am after. Having an opportunity to do that (while the client is away) can greatly help with decision making on the fly.

I edit my midi drums to be slightly off grid, specifically if two notes, or pieces of the kit overlap. Be it snare/kick, kick/snare/tom, or a cymbal. Slightly nudging cymbals off grid will also introduce a swing-type of feel, if not already making it feel more human. From a mix standpoint, it helps each piece get its own space in aside from the typical go to mixing techniques - side note, i do alot of metal and still apply this method

Re drums on the grid, lots of folks taking away the wrong lesson. (For already tight drummers) It's not as much about being quantized as having reliable time. You can't get good takes without a reference. Meaning your options are do takes to the grid, or record the whole band live so that everyone stays in sync in real time. Doing no metronome takes on top of each other into the DAW (not live) turns out like shit.
@santibanks
Жыл бұрын
You get the reliable time by having a good drummer just playing to a click. There is no reason to quantise them because the the point of a good tight drummer is that they are reliable with their time. His point wasn't that you want to play to a click in order to get the timing right and have some consistency for overdubs, his point is literally to edit the drums and quantise the hits to the grid of the DAW. If that wasn't his point, then his story was irrelevant in the first place.

I really admire these pro tips, they can be very very helpful for anyone to improve their game. But let's not lose perspective of the most important thing. Good fucking music and staying true to its nature. The emphasis made on the drums being on grid and actually end up ruining some records. Of course not all of them! And of course not every record should be left unedited. But it is really really important to distinguish when it actually serves the music and when it doesn't. I do not have the same experience in years as you do, but with my 8 years of experience, I can say that the records I am most proud of are the ones I recorded without a metronome, every musician live at the same time, just every amp in a different and a good monitoring system for the tracking. And of course no on the grid editing.

White stripes, foo fighters, anderson paak and many more mainstream artist are not quantised. I think that making records with everything being completely in tune and to the grid is somewhat robotic. However, a lot of metal records are quantised to the millisecond because they have to sound super tight. I guess it depends on the genre and how good the musicians timing is. However, integrity of the performance is also really important.
@alessandrosummer

I think that quantizing is necessary, but doing it 100% is a little bit too much. The best way to quantize is to snap the main hits like 80/90% onto the grid and leave most of the secondary hits a little bit off if they're not distractingly off

Changed my whole world in how I make music - we were making stuff for commercials where we'd need a FINAL production sent off in a freaking day... it was incredible. And then drum editing - YUP. My first day in that studio went like this... Him:"Hey, Nathan you know how to edit drums?" Me: "Yeah I think so" Him: "Sweet... edit these drums. I'm gonna go workout." Me: .... uhhhhh okay And that was the start of it all - and that record was KILLER.

As far as griding: It really depends on what kind of music you're doing. If you're recording a rock band ( Especially one where some rough edges are desirable and where the musicians have a good feel with each other) I think you're much better off tracking live in the room and getting a really good drum take, NOT griding it, & then doing overdubs on top of that.
@jeremyshirah8293
Жыл бұрын
Having the drums on the grid doesn't ruin the song. However if you have enough inputs and the entire band can track live it can definitely sound better. This is because when you play live you feed off each others energy. This groove or flow is somewhat magical when the mood and tones are good. It can harness your best performance as a unit. Nothing inspiring about tracking with a click in your ear. No right or wrong way just different methods. Pros and cons for everything.

While I understand drum editing has its place and is applied a lot, i'm pretty sure that it is not applied to the top tier drummers. You really think the drumparts of Steve Gadd or Vinnie Colaiuta are going to be stuck to a grid? You think Omar Hakim or Manu Katche have their drums quantised to a grid? Maybe Dave Grohl? It totally defeats the purpose of hiring these guys in the first place if you end up quantising their timing. Their playing makes the music and a part of that is exactly their timing. They will play to a click just to make sure things can be overdubbed when needed. But apart from that, their parts are not quantised to a grid.

It feels like it might be worth pushing back on these conventions a bit, if only to make the kind of music I want to hear. I'm not advocating for a sloppy performance.

Awesome video, I've seen those pros working back in the day when 2 inch tape was the norm. They'd do punch-ins and last case scenario actually splice the tape with a razor to make edits. No quantizing EVER. I was a student at MIT in Hollywood in the late 1990s and they already had protools but tape machines always sounded warmer. Just a quick positive constructive criticism, I'd remove the background music from videos like this, it's distracting and a annoying. Thanks man!

Metallica, SOAD, Limp Bizkit, Nirvana, etc. NOT in the grid. So it's about feel, expression and song itself.
