Freaking Out With Billy Hume
United States
Приєднався 28 тра 2020
I am a Grammy winning, Gold and Platinum awarded record producer, mixer, composer and musician. While some of my videos cover technical aspects of studio recording, many others are about what I think is more important to a career in music - your perspective, habits and work ethic. All the advice I give is based on my having done it wrong in the past. I hope to help other avoid those same mistakes.

What Happens When You Put a FULL BAND in a Legendary Studio?
So true! I remember years ago I had a song that I was about to trash. I tried it at an open mic just for the heck of it and people really liked it.
Awesome!
YOU NEED IT YOU WANT IT
Yes!!!
I have a question pertaining to hiphop kicks . I usually struggle to get the kick to sit right in the mix it always seems too loud or too bassy compared to the other elements in the mix. Should i eq out the bass or use compression ??
The quick answer without hearing anything is this: a. I boost a slightly narrow band EQ between 110 hz and 120 hz - find the spot where it has punch on small speakers. Once I find that spot (I've boosting that EQ a lot to find that spot) then I lower it to boosting about 4db to 6db or so. just enough to make the kick jump out. b. I'll usually pull 2db to 3 or 4 db of 50 hz to 53 hz. That area tends to blow out speakers. The main mistake people make is boosting the subs on a kick. That forces you to lower the kick. If you get rid of the extra boom then you can boost the kick.
Hi thanks for the awesome tips.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I must have had that same conversation with myself a hundred times, going to pick up gear
Ha ha! Always.
I like your honest conclusion. Me no comprendo! Ahahaha! Hear that. Just subscribed! :D
Thanks and thanks for the Sub!
The more you create, the better you get. The better you get, the stronger your position.
Inspiring!
Magnificent! Entertaining, Educational, and Revealing. Thank you for passion, honesty, and creative spirit. You have a new subscriber. By the look on your face and your discoveries, you did the right thing. Magic!
Thanks! And thanks for the Sub!
Like a college 101 course and a master class on being in the music industry.
I have never had to replace my tweeter, thank god. I put a fuse connector on the positive wire . The fuse blows out before the amp pushing them over the limit.
Yes, that's how I do it. The fuse is on the back where the main speaker wire comes in.
I remember Ampex reels, cutting and splicing tape. Ahh the good old days.
And the smell of tape!
Jesus Billy, putting this video together must have been masses amount of work, let alone the ACTUAL work you had to do to clean and install the desk. Great job and well done. I am very partial to Soundcraft desks, having owned three, not to mention I am also an Ableton user. I love that you are getting a million-dollar sound out of a studio that is not a "million dollar" studio (read, big fancy studio in LA or New York), but where you know what really counts in terms of sound quality and how to make the gear work for you.
Thanks! I was filming everything as I was working on it and at some point filmed in BRAW (Black Magics super high end format) without realizing it so when I went to edit everything I found that I had about 200 GB of footage. I seriously thought about skipping the whole thing but I like to finish what I start. I'm glad I did but.... whew! Thanks for watching and commenting!
After all the work you put in this, you definitely deserve more subscribers! I did my part 😊
Thanks so much!!!!!! I could always use more.
2:45 - "There's a first time for everything" - how true! 👍 Especially in the realms of recording! 🤣
I try to do something new on every song just to push the boundaries. I also flip something backwards on every song even if it's buried in the mix. Why? I don't really know why, I just do it.
@@FreakingOutWithBillyHume That's the spirit! 👍
I always wondered how people got that sound out of their guitar
Bro... every minute with the things that makes you happy make it worthwhile... always
No excuses comes from people that have ears actually listen to their music.
Really good advice
Truly enjoy your insights buddy - thank you for putting these out
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Just do it and you’ll find your way 💪🏽
Billy, how often Protools use to freeze like at 9 min ?
Ever since I upgraded to the new mac it does that when I switch my buffer size. So I just restart the app. pain in the butt but I can work with it.
@@FreakingOutWithBillyHume Same here, PT 2019 except for the old pc i'm running. I have lived with this. Thanx my man!
thank you - not too much out there on double bass specifically, given its prevalent role e.g. in jazz... one question: with a setup such as this, do you ever experience phasing issues (d.i. vs. mic) and what's your favourite way to treat them?
Yes. I make sure the mics are in phase by first listening and also recording a little and looking at the wave forms. Then I make sure the bassist isn't moving too much. However, the small diaphragm condenser that I have high up on the neck is mostly picking up the buzz from the strings vibrating on the neck and such and I'll sometimes high-pass that mic so there's not actually that much low end on the top mic, which is where the biggest phase issues are going to be.
#19 Find a End ! I know People they working 30 Years for her Debut Album. Greetings from Germany!
I was so happy to see someone coming to your aid. I felt bad for you doing so much work all by yourself even though people said they would help. This was my first video of yours I have watched and you seem like a guy that would be the first person there if someone asked you for help. I will be watching more videos for sure. JOB WELL DONE.......ENJOY!
Thanks! I wish Slxxpy Head lived closer.
Sounds incredible, I'm really enjoying your channel
Thanks!!!!
18:47 😂😂😂 JACKASS
Great video you’re awesome!
Thank you!
Thank you for the excellent encouragement! ❤
My wife actually gets mad at me for saying that if I ever got rich I don't want a mansion or Lamborghinis. Just a nice place on a nice property. Its just not important
And sometimes it's just part of the song that turns out to be the seed of an idea. If you keep it, later it may have the chance to grow into something greater.
That happens to me all the time.
You give fantastic advice for songwriters
I frequently ditch songs because I'm just not happy with the potential they have. So I challenged myself to complete songs I start, even if I am unhappy with them, and they almost always become something awesome by the end. So I completely agree
What’s humorous to me is simply asking them why it’s not cool, they’re not going to be able to tell you. For those of us who actually understand who they are and why they were born and what they are capable of know that Avalon‘s are actually incredibly cool -always have been always will be -and are very top shelf gear!
I concur 🤘🏻
The answer is always the same - "It's boring".
Used to have an anniversary edition 737 with the sleek blk & blue color scheme, sold it & sort of miss it. I’ve heard from several reputable sources that if you’re gonna get something from Avalon Designs, the piece to get is the 2 channel solid state AD2022 preamp; supposedly it’s leagues ahead of the vacuum tube pre on the channel strip.
It appears that Patreon has changed your link to /billyhume instead of /freakingoutwithbillyhume
Someone else said that. I just figured out where I had the wrong link. Thanks!
Nigga this hitt im Def Bouta throw outa all my extra clothes
Wow, cool, exactly what I was looking for...
Awesome!
Yey! Falling asleep to a Billy stream. Sweet.
I am a tech, you are a madman taking on that job, mucho impressed.
Oh.... I am a madman indeed.
Crap I missed the livestream it was supposed to notify me….
I really think the algorithms don't do what they are supposed to do. One week nobody on Twitch gets notified so zero viewers, next week it's instagram. UA-cam seems to selectively pick people who get notified. Kit, who helps on the livestreams says that half the time she gets notified and half of the time there's no notification. Because of this I'm keeping to streaming every Wednesday at 3pm EST so even if you don't get a notification my regular viewers will know I'm probably online.
Facts! My imposter syndrome is my biggest enemy
Fast becoming my fave channel this is. Sage advice.
Thanks so much!
AUTO TUNE.....and now A. I. hahahahaha rock star at the push of a BUTTON in your own BEDROOM.....and LEGEND !!!
I'm GLAD YOU are Straight UP...and NOT Bullshit
Amazing, please where is the full lenght video. I have solved many issues in my life, but this one I should make a habit, when I travel somewhere Im constantly go out my comfort zone which makes me feel unstoppable, but when I get back to my routine oh man, the comfort zone eats you alive, then you fill stressed, anxious... I would say life is hell if you live in your CZ.
ua-cam.com/video/PdmW1PMQxJM/v-deo.htmlsi=uAJ7cIidG1qpeTni
Here's the full length: ua-cam.com/video/PdmW1PMQxJM/v-deo.htmlsi=Mlrzp7KpjaoUvMJv - And I am the same way if I've been out of town or on a project for a while, then coming back into my life I find it a challenge to not fall into my old routine.
Maybe that’s why I like and connect with this song so much you just described my town to a t about small town living and succeeding and trying to get out!
incredible amount of work, Billy, respects for that! and great video skills too - happy that you got your amazing set-up the wa;y you want it!!!!! Sounds great.
Thanks sooo much!!!
Is that moving blankets or curtains on the ceiling? I was thinking of mounting some on my ceiling right above my ceiling fan to help out deadening the room. Seems way cheaper to do that in my case than to remove the fan and buy/build a ceiling cloud panel
Black fabric
Love your personality man! Keep it up
Thanks!!!
Great talk man great talk, please do more of these
More coming...
