Produce Like A Pro is a website that features great tips to help the beginning recordist make incredible sounding home recordings on a budget.
What is your favourite guitar tone? Please let us know your favourite song, artist or album guitar tone below! Personally I’ve always loved what Misha from Periphery does!
Eddie Van Hallen 77-84 awesome unique guitar tone.
Thanx for everything you guys do to help us learn. Happy New Year.
Adrian Belew. Specifically on the great curve by talking heads, or on the discipline record by king crimson. Huge influence on me. Since hearing him I’ve fallen in love with that flavor of new wave.
Dino Cazares tone on the fear factory Demanufacture album is pretty special in my opinion. Devin Townsend always has great guitar tone aa well. His cleans, heavy and even synth tones.
Judas Priest tone on Firepower! Andy Sneap always gets great tones!
Thanks for having me once again! Working hard on making this channel more brootal! 😇
Haha indeed! Brootal!!! Haha
Metal Guitar tones are just SO heavy, which is the point! Raw energy all around!
Haha yes! Indeed
Great video. Some killer tones there. Thanks very much
Absolutely enjoyed this episode !
Thanks ever so much
Really wonderful news. Can’t wait to take this new course on Kohle Audio Kult. Love Ulrich’s courses on Pro Mix Academy!
Thanks Alexey! Yes, Ulrich rules!
Ulrich is amazing. It's seriously fantastic to know I'm not the only nutjob out there doing this kind of geeky stuff to get great guitar sounds. Thank you! Love it!
This is exactly what I've been looking for.
Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it
Great video that reaffirms the quality of source maxim.
Thanks ever so much
My band and I have a studio corner in the room where we rehearse. And we don‘t have much expensive equipment, just a Motu-interface with Behringer-Preamps and some inexpensive mics from ebay. But I still did a shootout of each speaker of our guitarists 4x12, each mic and 8 positions for each mic. And even when the SM-57 was set, the second mic on the additional guitar track was a Behringer C-2 and not the sE 2200 what I was expecting. But the sE 2200 sounds better on our vocalist.
that was very very interesting thanks warren
Thanks ever so much David!
I really enjoyed that
Thanks ever so much!
I love the guitar tones from Slayer's Reign in Blood, Cannibal Corpse's Butchered at Birth, Tomb of the Mutilated, and Torture. I can never seem to get those extremely heavy guitar tones no matter what I do. I've tried different amps, pedals, VSTS, and different guitars; from mid-level to a higher-end guitar. A lot of times I feel that I found that magical sound and 15 minutes of playing later It losses that "smack you in the face" punch. Maybe I have that "Tim Allen 'More Power' Syndrome"
I'll never quit trying to find it tho. Happy New Year!
this video just showed you: it's mostly the speaker - and then the mic. dialing in a good level on the pedals, if you use them.
Hard to pick on guitar tone, but some of my favorites:
Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Katatonia - The Great Cold Distance
Pantera - Reinventing the Steel
Jerry Cantrell - Degradation Trip
Heaven & Hell - The Devil You Know
and there are so many more. Ghost, Down, Metallica, Soilwork... I think the commonality is that I like to maintain the clarity of every string/note in a chord, while achieving a thick & massive sound without going into the Djent or Deathcore territory I find that I can usually get the sound I want in an amp, but I'm new to VSTs and I'm really struggling with making it happen digitally.
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
Great video! Great producer and the kohle audio kult is awsome ( if you haven’t joined up yet then you really should consider it…..actually just do it!! Well worth it!!)
Im into a wide variety of old and new metal having grown up with the likes of possessed, slayer, venom, hellhammer and of course Bathory but they all had poor production that did really suit the genre and the time but the 90’s death metal productions were (mostly) an improvement and now we have really high quality productions… metal has come along way, to hard to pick favourites but If i had to the poor disgusting sound of possessed 7 churches and Bathory the return would be my equal pick 😂
Again great video and love what you guys are doing with the audio kult courses 🤘🏻
That slipper adds +600 skill points, amazing :D
I know, right? Ha Thanks ever so much!
It's interesting how simple Ulrich's mic placement technique is: Just put the mic halfway between cap edge and surround and you're good to go. It is also worth noting that, unlike many other metal producers, he doesn't place the mic right on the cap edge. To be honest, I never understood the fixation on the cap edge placements, as it tends to pick up too much high end and not enough body, making it very hard for guitars to punch through in a mix.
Favourite Gitarre tone is Gary Moore on The Loner for Les Paul and the Macmull demos for S-type guitars
Thanks ever so much for sharing
Awesome video
Thanks ever so much
Great video ! So, what is the preamps he used ? The ref of the 35 dollars ones ?
What was the cheep $35 pre amp per chanel he was talking about and is that a A/D converter or a analog pre or a plugin? ty
Great video. Just curious, can you get this course using the Kajabi app?
Hi Joe, it’s not on Kajabi. That’s an interesting question though! Tell me more please
@@Producelikeapro Kajabi is an app that many of the recording tutorials I purchase are found. It’s basically a streaming service where I get lifetime access. It’s always with me on my phone, iPad, or home computer. It’s excellent!
Where can I find Albion speakers? Briefly looked online, but can't find them anywhere. They sound incredible
They were sourced for the short lived Albion brand, Which was a rebrand of the quickly killed off identical Wharfdale brand [just some minor cosmetic changes]. So more than likely the Albion speakers are simply rebranded Wharfdales. For a while up to a decade ago, both brands started off really expensive, but soon enough got reduced ridiculous;y cheap in clearance sales. For what it's worth, the Wharfdale speakers were initially fitted to Vox combos and cabs to cut manufacturing costs, But Vox fanboys revolted, so Vox had to start using Celestions again. This gave the Wharfdale speakers an unfair bad reputation - which more savvy guitarists could take advantage off when snobby new Vox AC30 buyers pulled out and sold off their unwanted unused Wharfdales at silly cheap prices on ebay.
hello you did not demo the MXL. What for?
Zakk Wylde on No more tears had the best tone
For metal rhythm guitar, Toxicity and Steal This Album era SOAD records sound huge to me.
Thanks ever so much for sharing
8:10 which cheap preamp is he talking about please ? the one he says beat the others
The built in preamps of the Behringer mixer.
@@matop.2048 Thank you!
Yes, the Behringer! Thanks ever so much!
Exactly! Thanks ever so much!
nice. basically confirms what i've always thought, that 80% of the sound of your guitar is the amp (obviously, effects, too), and of the amp, the cab is 70-80%, and, of the cab, the most important part is the speaker - the one that actually makes the sound, weirdly enough. and the amp is mostly the topology, way more than the tube type, tone stack, etc. makes you really laugh when you hear endless debates about tonewood, etc. - even though i pay attention to the wood, too, almost out of superstition, and just to have my mind at ease that every variable is "taken care of", but, in all honesty, i have to admit the wood almost doesn't matter. and on distorted tones, it really doesn't matter. the pickup height or string gauge will make much more of a difference on the tone than the wood, even on clean sounds. the cable - huge impact, too. the level out of the pedals into the amp. and then, obviously, once you record, the mic is huge. the speaker-mic combo also proves a different point, for the "hi-fi" obsessed out there: there's no such thing. there is no such thing as a "clean" reference speaker, and there's no such thing as a "clean" reference mic. we haven't gotten to that point in technological ability - probably never will (namely have a signal passed through a miked speaker be identical to the source - it would defeat the very purpose of miking a speaker). there's just different subjective characters, so the obsession of having "untouched, pristine" signal is just 🥸😴🤨. could make some people freak out, but maybe it should just make them chill.
Okay that Albion AMI-G1280-16 sounds the absolute best, and the one in bottom right sounds the best of the two. All the other speakers, not a fan of at all.
19:52, Right! Make your own sound instead of focusing on what you hear on your favorite albums and quit trying to copy someone else's tone. A lot of people think if they get such-and-such guitar/pick-ups/amps/cabs/pedals/impulse responses, that they'll get "that tone" they hear on that metal album that sold millions. People forget the studio gear that was used to create/enhance that tone: the console, tape, tube compressors...etc.
Agreed!!!
Absolutely. It's always been my philosophy with tone in any aspect of music to learn what worked for your influences, then adapt it to yourself. Why I'm not a huge fan triggers, IRs, and Modelers. Obviously they have uses, and can be great tools, but I realized when I was playing a Headrush Pedalboard for a few years that when I plug into this Marshall amp on here, it's the EXACT same Marshall amp everyone else with this product has, the same tube screamer, same everything...and that kind made it lose it's magic for me. Its still a wonderful tool, and you can create a great pallet of tones, but in the end I wanted to have more individual stuff again.
🙂
Thanks ever so much Audrey
It seems to me that this guitar tone is full of phase problems. Maybe an aesthetic related to metal ?
Hardly budget gear but I guess it depends on what your budget is! Focusrite ISA 2 alone is just shy of a grand!!!!!! and that's just one of them
His guitar sound is created from a Behringer Mixer which is less than $100. Most of his mic pres are ART, his speakers small KRK's, pointing out a piece that's relatively expensive is not actually anything to do with what he uses every day.
@@Producelikeapro Thanks for pointing that out :-). Just wondered what pre-amps he uses?
Thanks. This is cool and all. If people waste time on chasing others tones. They can’t find their own sound. Focus on playing and finding your own. NFA ✌🏽
That’s ok from a perspective of already knowing everything, however, I personally love finding out how others work! I find it inspirational. Despite working on many great albums I’m still constantly learning and love seeing what others do! I always take away something new!
but it's like playing the guitar, first you try to copy your heroes. since something like that can never succeed, an individual style and tone often develops from it
I get what Rupert means. There's a school that will say learn all the rules (sounds) before you break (change) them, and another school that ascribes to experimentation as a start, have fun, be original, learn the vocabulary later. This is art *and* science. If you're keen on the engineering end for recording your tone, and struggle with technique, the vocabulary is all important.
@@halgrimaldo4147 I’ve never looked at someone’s work flow and wanted to copy it, I don’t know anyone successful that has. Those that are constantly wanting to improve will always want to know what others are doing! Learning is huge!!
