That was very interesting. I'm not a massive fan of rock music but have to say the track sounds really crisp and energetic. What I really like is that he knows what to do and is not worried about telling people how he does things. He's not afraid because he's confident in his ability to make decisions for what's right for a track. I feel that his approach of committing a lot of things early in the process is a good one too, to save time fiddling around and achieving nothing later.

If the band isn't ready, reschedule so no one's time is wasted. If you can't record a live performance and be happy enough to release as is, the band has some more work to do. An engineer can't fix a bad band.

This was an awesome watch! I'm glad to see people are still recording a well-rehearsed band LIVE in the studio! I did this with my hard rock band Cockhorse for our two LPs and had people calling me a liar because of how tight everything was. The only things we overdubbed were the double tracking for my guitar (I was the sole guitarist of the band, and all of my solos on the albums were played live in the same manner I would play them on stage) and despite cutting vocal tracks live, our singer decided he could do better, so those were treated as scratch tracks and he ended up re-recording all of the vocals, as well as doubling up some bits, and I had quite a few harmony tracks. My most recent upload is a track from the sessions for our second album, check it out!

I know this is common practice these days with re-amping and using sim plugs, but if you're just gonna mic it up, why bother? Get the sound u want from the amp! Is it a 'just in case' thing?

It never ceases to amaze me how some people are prepared to create and present content on KZitem, completely free of charge which at the end of the day provides competition for what they themselves do for a living! It would be perfectly possible to spend a few months watching (all of the right) videos in sequence and come away from it a 'fully trained' person capable of then creating a professional business from it all. We could argue that you need to be the right kind of person with the interest and capability in the first place and that to a greater degree would be true of course, but the breadth of material available for beginners to experienced level is amazing, and all available at the click of the mouse. Hats off to you, great video. :-)

You'll need to do more than just watch videos. I've watched videos every single day for the past 5 years and I'd say i have a pretty good understanding of what to do and what not to do. But nothing can prepare you for being called into a studio to engineer a tracking session when you have no idea what to do on a console you've never worked on with a patch bay that makes no sense. Which is why I'm in school for it. Then interning to hopefully be offered a job as an assistant engineer to one day (out of the blue I might add) some shit happens and the 1st engineer doesn't show up making me the new 1st engineer. It takes years and lots of hands on training. Just my two cents.

I understand your comment and your concern is real, however, no matter how large the pile of information that is available to us, we as individuals, still have to put the hours of hard work in. What any engineer or pro can tell you, every mix is different and every song is approached differently from the genre, form, instruments, overall feel they (the band) are going for, and so on. I guess it's a matter of training your ears and taste according to different genres. Besides, the whole thing changed. A lot of engineers moved to in box mixing(DAW/plugins/samples etc), just like the new engineers that are yet to come. Having huge racks of outboard gear will eventually become obsolete. Yes, indeed, changes like that happen in every layer of musical art forms, from playing live to rehearsing to recording, or even songwriting. Everything changes and we need to be aware of this and be prepared to adapt. The information you get is real, but no amount of information can beat hard work. It really comes down to how much effort you put in and how hard you really want this. And if you're into the money, prepare to have a terrible life :))

Which is fine when you can process it live, these sounds are still heavily processed with distorted and compressed drums blended in and other techniques that are easy in a DAW and need plenty of gear to do when tracking. Also it is a simplistic style that doesnt need as much production (double tracking, editing effects etc). I find a good way to work is add processing during the tracking process to get an idea of a sound and stick with it then when you mix you arent making as many creative decisions. For example having reverbs set up, having drum and mix bus compression, having parellel chains etc.

My band was super tight from playing tons of local club gigs by the time we hit the studio. Our producer originally wanted the drummer to cut his tracks to us playing along live, and left our "scratch tracks" in just as a guide for him. We played all of the songs we planned to record as if it were a longer-than-normal set list, and we nailed it, zero flubs or mistiming anywhere to be found. Everyone was happy that he decided to record our amps despite the original intent to overdub everything, as these were KILLER takes in every way. All we did after that was double up the guitars (one guitar band) and layed down the vocals. We knocked out 16 tracks in one session, had one more session for mixing, sent it to our buddy in Italy to be mastered for vinyl, and had our record release gig within six months of our first session. Our album really captured our live energy (we're a fast paced, loud & heavy riff based rock band) and that's exactly what I had hoped would come across on my first project that made it to actual vinyl. We duplicated the process for our second LP, but we wound up splitting the band up before we got the funds to press any physical copies. The most recent upload on my channel is from that second album, which I'm in the process of getting all of the guys to agree to terms to release the album digitally, but our drummer has vanished into thin air, none of us have heard from him since we split up in August.
