What’s YOUR favorite recording hack??
I liked every hack
I use turning off-axis from the mic every single day. It's invaluable to use that technique.
Maybe less 'recording' and more 'post production' but: double your snare track, high pass filter, distortion, compression. Your snare instantly has lo fi punk crack to it.
But I'm DEFINITELY using that foam weather sealing trick. Or sticky hands from the dollar store
Great videos! I have the vocalist stay in same place... and I ride the preamp as we record.
I like to mic up electric guitars (like i would an acoustic) when laying down DI's. they're really nice to have later one when mixing. On clean parts they'll give some nice acoustic and string sound, and on high gain parts they can be used subtly in the background to increase transients and help define the guitar riffs. It's especially handy when you have a guitarist that refuses to turn the gain down.
Love that these aren’t the same 5 tips every other UA-cam does thanks colt for new info !
Appreciate it!
Killer tips. That mic proximity off axis singing tip is still probably my favorite recording tip I've ever learned on UA-cam 🤘
That is a serious insider trick for sure!
Shane Grush thanks homie!
Thanks man! Hope you are well!

When changing drum heads I take the old heads and cut a round hole in the center leaving about 2 or 3 inches and lay the ring that's left over the new drum heads. It's basically a free version of the remo or evans drum rings.
UA-cam : Have you got 5 minutes for Colt.
Me : Sure, I'll watch it twice :)
Hahaha love it!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Colt is the best! I knew all of the hacks he said though, but the way he tells inspires me ❤️
Ha! Ha! HA!!!! I love the last one!! Been saying that to other musicians at live gigs for YEARS. Stop pulling way back from an SM58!! Eat that thing!! SM58 thrives when you get up on it!! Glad you brought this up, I hope 10,000,000 people see it!
and SM58 yes. but some mics it will actually mess with the tone. I find it best to try and get them to sing straight into the mic and just try and adjust the gain or ride the volume fader when they hit those high notes so their not so conscious. :)
Dave Lamar Does anyone use something other than SM58 when gigging live? I never have..., I guess there are lots of options these days but it’s still the industry standard.
Pop screen = pantyhose. YEARS ago, I mean like 15-20 years ago I bought 5 or 6 boxes of pantyhose. I took some wire hangars and made pop screens out of them. They work EPIC. Dead cheap too. You can fashion one up in a minute! I still have a few boxes left, after making a dozen or so pop screens.
Good tip on the vocals and turning to the side. I've ran into that many times, where I can't see the singer do it, then I figure out why it sounds thinner after listening a few times at certain key parts!
Will definitely be keeping that in mind more often. Thanks Colt.
Your point about the proximity effect blew my mind. Always knew about the proximity effect, but never applied that principle to much of anything until this video. Lol. THANKS!
The last one, singers moving the mic away, comes from doing live performances on systems with without limiters/compressors. Back in the 80s we vocalists learned to do this "mic technique" so we didn't deafen the audience or get distortion. In recording tell your vocalists you have set levels for their loudest passages, and tell them to hold still so they sound their best. If you have a singer who just can't help him/her-self (sometimes it's part of the "show" to make it look like we're working harder for the audience... it's part of the dramatics), then I think this tip #5 is a great solution. But seriously, singers, we're well into the 21st century - if you have 21st century tech and technicians, relearn your mic technique! 😉
(Sorry, way more wordy than intended!)
and now i have to listen to ur song
@@rickyzain5897 I don't have much out there...been out of the performing scene for a long time. I am still singing a bit, but consider myself to be very out of practice.

Great video colt! A trick I use often when tracking drummers is to have them use in-ear type headphones and earmuffs over the top, so that they can hear everything well (rest of the band/click etc) but don't have to have their headphones cranked too loud, this gives little to no click spill in the track and also saves their ears a bit! (Not that drummers are interested in saving their ears 🤭)
The weather stripping idea is great. The alternative products are a mess and a nuisance. The producer that recorded me back in 1989 used a handkerchief on my neck. Really surprised me when he pulled it out. He knew how to make me sound amazing. Thanks for this vid. Really useful stuff.
Chris Cornell was a master of the turn-your-head-to-the-side technique.
Great video!
Great video! Thanks Colt!
I used to use bandanas years ago... I recently switched to cable's velcro 😊 no issue at all, easy installation and no tuning issues 😊
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
These are actually new! Nice. Everybody else on UA-cam is all just saying the same stuff, but you’ve got some new tips I wouldn’t have thought of. Fuck yeah colt.
Great tips! Additional use for the scarf tip - If you need to reach into the sound hole of an acoustic guitar for any reason (eg to change a preamp battery), tie a scarf or sock tightly over the nut when you slacken the strings, that way they don't ping off the tuning pegs and you can tune right back up when you're done!
your such an underrated youtuber. all of your videos are such high quality and straight to the point and you always have the best advice. keep doing what your doing!
Funny enough, you're the only person I actually have clicked the notification on button to.
AustinSummersOfficial my man... that really means a lot!! Appreciate you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great vid love the mic distance hack
Great Hacks! A lot of singers learn from Musical singers, Jazz singers and or classical singers. In those Genres it‘s not Common to compress the vocals. That‘s why people spend a lot of time practicing mic technique which essentially means „get away from the mic when singing loudly“.
Guitar tip was mind blowing!
First time stopping by - and valuable! Subscribed!
Love these tips and these type of videos.
Keep them coming. Thank you!
Great tips. Thank you!
Definitely need to try the bandana thing! Thanks for the constant wisdom!
Do it!! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Mic hack recording vocals, I say the same thing. All your points today are good. And work. Thank you Colt!
Thanks for watching!
Great job man! Very helpful! :)
thank you for the moon gel vs foam tip!!!
2nd video of your's I've watched, great helpful advice!
Great content bro ! Thanks
WELCOME BACK MAN! Lester and I were talking about how dope you are the other day. Stay safe my dude!
Teddy at Swaying Hill Studios oh man... I appreciate that, but I feel like I pale in comparison to Lester! Thanks for watching and for the kind words!
*Wow, I never knew this.*
*I've learned something new today.*
I noticed that all of these sound guys capture terrific footage too
Yo! I've been catching you're videos for a while and I seriously love your content my man 😁 music production is a dark art to me and I'm glad you do what you do. Thanks again!
As always. Good stuff. We actually use a lot of your advise. Thanks so much. (Loonz Recording & Music Studio)
Cool video man I’ll use this
Now that was a fun 5 min - cool tips - appreciate it Colt 🤘
That weather stripping tip is gold! Hadn't thought of that. thanks!
Nice tips buddy!
In my experience, singers move away from the mic when they are belting out a section as they get conscious of the level in their headphones and in most cases they have gotten into the habit of "self mixing" their vocal level when singing live. So they move away to make sure they're not "too loud". I tell them not to move at all and to forget about that completely. Instead, I'll control/ride the level. Sometimes I'm riding the gain or output on the pre but sometimes I'm just riding the volume in their headphone mix!!!
YES TO THIS!!! yeah, i personally don't like singers turning away from the mic because i find it messes with the tone even more then i have to go in sometimes and EQ those specific sections just so they match the rest of the line. best is to just get them to sing straight into the mic and help them out like you said.
I need someone like you mixing 😕
Luv the weather seal hack for drums🤘🏻👊🏻
Awesome stuff as usual Colt! Plan to try that last vocal trick later today. :)
Still in love with your CAPI collection!
Haha thanks man! Hope you can pick some up for yourself soon!
Thanks for the video!
Hi Colt! Nice and effective tricks!
Yes, I do an off axis thing on vocal recording for years and yes it's efficient technique for getting good result! I think it's just me and my friend who taught me that do that trick.. Hahaha.. And now I know I'm in the right way since you share this! Great, Colt!
Always good stuff buddy
Thanks man!!
The sticky hands found in the vending machines and toy section is nearly the same as moon gel and pennies on the dollar
Finally getting a chance to sit down and watch this. Heck yeah! :D
Good tips, thanks!
loved the last one!
I would recommend learning the ol' multi-band compressor/EQ for problems with proximity effect with sidechaining capabilities...that way you target what want and don't want. Also turning the mic at an angle will pick up more room sound and headphone bleed. Microphone respond to "micro" vibrations so just the slightest pull back from it can drastically alter the sound. Don't hold back when singing the dry run and use proper gain staging to handle the peaks.
Great tips with thorough explanation.
Really helpful man💚😊👌
Yay!!! nice one!! good advice and one of the things I wish anyone that sings knew first.
I've always compensated this by getting them to do backups.
This off-axis mic thing as well, will need to try this... thanks (fixed a typo)
Hell yeah I learned something for sure. Great video.
These are just great tips! Thanks Colt. I have use foam at the nut and/or the bridge to deaden the string buzz on highly distorted guitars.
Great hacks! I use every one of these except for the bandana. Can't wait to try it.
Turning slightly away from the mic to minimize plosions (popping 'P's) and sibilant 'S's is something I've tried teaching people for decades. Not for singing, but for radio broadcasting. Very few can actually accomplish it, so require a pop filter (aka spit guard). I've been doing radio and voice over recording over 40 years so it's just something I do without having to think about it. I normally position my microphone slightly to one side or the other (usually to my left) and aim the mic a few inches in front of my mouth rather than directly in front of me aimed directly at my mouth.
Thanks Colt. I came here expecting to get maybe ordered usable tip and got 4 new ones. (I’d heard about not monitoring too loud)
These were good thanks
Took some of that foam from my dads toolbox when I was like 11 before I knew about dampening lol nice throwback
I appreciate you making these man! Tons of really enlightening and helpful info.
Liked that vocal tip bro! 👍 Are you still working on the pop vocal video?
It’s still coming! Thanks man!
Appreciate it bro!
Great video brother! Appreciate the tips, keep up the good work
Dude, totally sick vibrato!
Amazing!
Great tips, can't wait to try some of these
Depends on the singer in the case of stepping out. You usually do that live, that's why people do that. For recording it's different because you can always monitor the audio level. But most singers are used to singing in both places. Normally the sound is the thinest on falsettos or growls. But if it's a belted high note, and a well placed one, it's normal that they step away because that's when we singers use the maximum amount of muscle force to produce the belted sound. However, we're not talking about stepping away, just a little bit back is more than enough if the mic is decent
Some actual helpful tips. Subbed! 🤘😎🤘
I have used Gaff tape for deadening drums in the past...weather stripping is probably cheaper!
I’ve done that before as well, works in a pinch!
Way cheaper. Gaffer tape is EXPENSIVE!
old school hack... to help with toms tuning ...and ringing ...we used kotex pads..)
Wow! Great tips Colt. I can only imagine the stuff one would learn sitting in on one of your recording sessions. Thank you.
Thanks Colt!
More like this. Great stuff.
that last tip made me subscribe. you're the bomb. thanks and hearty cheers
Appreciate it!
¡Notification squad! As always nice content, man. Cheers!
Thanks so much! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great video man!
NOTI GANG ✊ hope you’re doing well Colt
My man!! Appreciate you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Clicked on the video to see what you're gonna do with that foam. Subbed for the great content! 😃
moon gels rock and i have had the same ones for over 12 years... Tuning the drums properly usually does the job tho.
Nailed it! 🤘🤘🤘
My recording hack is living in an absolute pigsty. Cheapest acoustic treatment ever. Sure, I'd love to clean up, but it's deader than Genghis Khan in there, and I got vocals to track.
Dude what 😂
Good stuff Colt
Simple hack to keep your monitoring consistent is to ALWAYS mark your monitor pot, and keep checking that you have it set to the same spot. IF you move it while you are soloing or something, just be sure you set it back for critical listening. If you have a monitor dim and mute? You could literally pop the cap off your monitor pot so no one touches it until the mix is done.
More of these please........
I don't record much guitar but that's a great idea with the bandanna.
The vocal recording hack for high notes really helped
Awesome tips to!
Thanks for the good tips!!
Good stuff👍 the 15 degree angle seems like a good move to control sibilant vocalists
Nice content, I learned something new
Nice tips.
I dig the thing about turning the head on higher notes! I love David Bottrill’s ideas about getting good performances out of musicians...turn off the lights in the middle of a take, change their monitor mix slightly, light some candles...do something to take the performer out of their comfort zone and it will help elicit a more spontaneous feel and vibe.
Shirt is fire! Keep it coming man!
Very useful tips thank you for sharing
One short old trick to manage the singer: Tell him you need to put another mike just behind his head for creative recording, have an other sound, all greats sound engineers in the big studios are doing this way, etc...
Lie.
Instal the mike on a stand just behind him and don't plug this mike (or plug in and don't open the channel, as you want)
And the singer will stay at the right distance of the "real" mike during the take.
Hahahahaha
Noice!!
