    Really appreciate what you said in the beginning of the video about not pretending to be an expert. It just stands in the way of things and doesn't help anyone if you do. I actually stopped giving myself any labels and try to let things speak for themself. One time I was asked by a self claimed grammy nominated producer on how to start making music and which gear to buy...

      Thanks for saying this. It’s kind of an unwritten rule for becoming a big UA-camr to pretend you’re an expert even if you’re not. I don’t like that.

    Dude, that was great!! You have the perception of a guitarist, not a producer, and that's fine. And you did a lot! Great mix, great tune and how most of us, people that play any instrument and have a little knowledge on some kind of DAW will do. Not crowding your tracks with auxiliary tracks, tons of plug ins and stuff. We like it raw, not over produced. I'm gonna say that the cassette thing is a producer stuff. haha! Thanks a lot!

    Digging your style ... heard something you were doing on another vid that reminded me of The Pixies ... so many metalheads with these recording tutorials on youtube who all sound so mechanical and processed just regurgitating the same formulas. This is a nice change from all that... definitely following your work. Good stuff .. keep it up

    Awesome video! I love seeing other people's work flow.
    I'm not sure if Logic has this function, but something to maintain clarity when using time based effects (reverb, delay and [sometimes] chorus) is running them parallel by using a send and a return track as opposed to using them as inserts directly on the channel. This way instead of using a dry/wet mix knob you crank that to 100% wet on a separate track and use the send fader to dial in how much reverb you want on guitars. Some hardware gear that I've used as well as Ableton and Pro Tools have this function and I've always found that it allows for a lot more clarity and definition in your source audio.

    • @LivingroomGearDemos
      @LivingroomGearDemos  4 роки тому +1

      Yup! I often do this. Didn’t find it necessary here though. Except for the drums that I parallel compressed through an aux track. Same thing.

    I use the CLA3A as well. Depending on the vibe sometimes I put a LA2A limiter behind it just to make stable and punchy, just a little bit.

      @@LivingroomGearDemos Thats a good trick of stacking compression. Most times though its cool to use a fast comp first like a 1176 or distressor then an optical one. each one only just taking off a little bit. Great technique for vocals too :)

    @gonebymidnight2881 2 роки тому

    it sounds amazing, however I see you don’t gain stage your project. I do and sometimes I wonder wether I shouldn’t bother. Also on your more recent video about mixing rock guitars you have a totally different plugin order on your guitar tracks: CLA-3A, then EQ Then Soothe, why is that? did you come up with a better way of processing guitars?

      @ZachTNT 3 роки тому

      It depends what you use. I’d suggest using either a usb mixer or a usb interface/soundcard. You won’t be able to hear your guitar (unless you run an output out of the mixer/interface into your amp). You will get a much better sound from it though.
