Bass players are so underrated. As a guitarist of 30+ years, I can't express how important a good bassist is in a band. Without them the drums become hallow and guitars sound weak. They bridge a gap in sound between the two instruments. So if you're a bassist that's feeling under appreciated and sick of the jokes, here's a big THANK YOU from me.
My first electric guitar is in the post arriving this week and I've been pouring through the guitar based vids on produce like a pro. There was already so much good content but I guess it just keeps coming? Thanks for another great video :)
That's amazing to hear my friend!! Congratulations on the Guitar purchase my friend! I love having an excuse to play guitar, so I will definitely continue to do more Guitar videos!!
Scott Rance Thanks! I ordered a Paul Reed Smith Custom 24 se, I've been learning on a £30 guitar I picked up second hand and I can't wait for the upgrade. I tested loads in the store and this one spoke to me :)
In The Mix Prs Se are great guitars the SE may stand for student edition but they are way more than that. they're great value. I have an SE Standard discontinued model from 2006 and I would put that up against my Jackson's which are fully loaded out. Great guitar purchase and you'll get plenty of years out of it. PRS makes great guitars.
This is an absolutely great thing! What I also learned from Bryan back in the day - he used 3 amps per one guitar channel. Meaning, you would play the guitar part but there would be 3 tracks recording instead of 1. That way he covered each frequency range (bass, mids, hi) using a different amp. So, now imagine... 3 track per side - that's 6 gtr tracks already. Then you overdub them - that's 12!!!.. and then there could be some wider, more heavy choruses needed when a "middle man" (another guitar part which stands in the middle of the mix) comes in... It took me a while to figure out how to record like that on my own. The sound is... immense! Massive and literally flowing out of the speakers. Thank you, Warren, for bringing this out!
I've had my tiny mind blown watching this. that bass trick is insanely clever, the guitar sound alone is lovely but with that bass it is so gorgeous i want to emulate it immediately. Amazing.
You made me really love music production and sound engineering recently, it’s a real pleasure to watch your videos, I learn a lot of stuff, and I consider buying your book, to learn more and more! Keep up!
Wow! I'm listening to your channel for a long time and for me its the best place to learn on and on. But this simple trick with the bass and the wah is stunning. Thank's for the time you are investing. And thank's to your family to give you this time beside your main job, I think, they don't see you a lot. Please carry on.
I've outgrown many of the "producers" here on UA-cam, but not you. You're always fresh and original and most importantly, inspirational. I appreciate you.
I’m replying to your comment directly because the thought I have wouldn’t matter on an older video 😆 But I know exactly what you mean. UA-cam is full of people who give you the same old tutorials and such but there’s a select few who give you tips and trick they use themselves from trial and error or from just a good old fashion crazy idea. Then they make a video for people so they can learn on something that may have otherwise never been found out without sharing. Warren and the others like him seem to want to just help people do the best they can and give some foot ups along the way.
Hi Friend, I have learned so many great things from my mentors, Jack Douglas, Don Smith, Brian Carlstrom, Olly Alcock and of course my very good friend my Dave Jerden. Dave's list of Production is one of the most impressive around and this Guitar recording trick comes directly from him, it can be heard in every one of the great 'Alice In Chains' Albums he made! Please let me know your tips and tricks as well!
Fantastic tip, Warren! Definitely trying that one out. Two tricks I use for massive guitars are: 1. Do a left and right dbl of just the higher strings in the chord/riff 2. left/right additional dbl but make it an inversion
Thats genius... im definitely gonna try this. I usually quad track guitars, 2 hard panned rhythm and 2 identical new performances half panned with 2 tracks of bass; one performance split into high and low with disrtion on the highs but this is a new level! What a cool trick!!
This is a fantastic channel and this video is really seriously simple but sooo helpful. i wish that I had found this before I started putting my own music videos together. it will certainly help me to enhance my future ones. Nice one Warren!
Wow, once again you've bedazzled me with a cool trick to add to my production toolbox. Thanks Warren, you continue to let out all the secrets and I applaud you for sharing information without the ego.....well done my friend!
I LOVE this technique, and I hadn't a doubt in my mind this video was going to be great, BUT I gotta comment on that Yamaha guitar, that is a lovely instrument right there, and the paint job is flawless, what a treat!
Very cool. I've seen people do the "copy, EQ, re-paste" thing for that mid-range nastiness. This way does feel a little more immediate from the tiny variations.
Wow! Freaking epic! I always tell guys that I record, including my own band mates, that what really makes a good solid recording is the stuff that you don't really always notice when it's in there, but you would definitely notice when it is not! Great video!
When I lay down my tracks they sound nothing like what I’m hearing when you do. Yours sound like they have been preprocessed even as they are going to disk. It’s a testament to your ability.
I love this dude. Learn a lot and he's easy to listen/watch. Just a cool dude. I love mixing, i can't get enough. Being a musician and learning to mix yourself takes it to a whole new level
Wow, I’d never have thought about this! It’s really great, I’ve tried it once and I can’t do without out anymore! As we wanted those big guitars in the studio with my band, for the first EP we will release in a few months, we did four pairs of electrics: one with a Big Muff in a big cab for the low end, one with a Proco RAT in the same amp as our main sound, one with a Friedman BE-OD as a clangy/crunchy tone, to have all the agressivity of the attacks (as Green Day did on every album since American Idiot), and one with a DS-1 in the smallest amp we could find, to have all the high end that is super ugly on its own but really adds to the whole sound! And of course, this trick!
Thank you so much for making this video!!! By using the bass trick my guitars instantly sound so much better- what I’ve started doing is panning the D string bass right and then playing the same thing an octave down panned left and it sounds so cool Thanks!!!
I was watching a video on Rick Beato’s channel and it was discussing Boston’s “More Than A Feeling”. He was showing a similar trick where they blended some real nasally, cocked wah sounding guitars with the main guitar sound and it really filled them out and made them sound HUGE! I play electronic metal and decided to try this and it makes a load of a difference. Very much in the same vain. Thanks so much!
You are correct sir... I have a crybaby 535Q that has the rotary knob that allows me to set how much of a frequency sweep the pedal utilizes. Very nice wah indeed!
Hi Warren, thanks ever so much for sharing this fantastic technique, it certainly focuses the mid range and is a great way to add some extra weight to the guitar track.
Warren, this is AWESOME!!! What a sound! Thank you for this precious trick, I think I will use it a lot, not only for angry rock parts, but also for fattening electric guitars in general!
you're a legend for this. I've often parts that need huge rhythm guitars, but the bassline is off doing its own thing - this is perfect. strong lowish mids is the key to huge guitars. Btw, great rhythm playing - all that space with the loose rhythm can be tricker to double track than all the technical 184bpm metal riffery - and it wont sound as big as that looser style locked into a sparse spacious bonham style drum part, does indeed sound huge - and very well played.
You can hear the difference it makes - Thanks for sharing this with us, whereas you could have just kept it to yourself! - Also, and I'm saying this as a guitar player, the drums on that track sound amazing! The snap on that snare is something else.
I track a third guitar panned centre EQd with a little less bass and treble to get a wall of guitars. Much less messy than quad tracking. Can’t wait to try this trick though. Great video mate.
WoW...That's IMPRESSIVE...I love your guitar videos as a guitar player too...but this time your guitar from the beginning was really heavy! I loved it💟😊

I agree. You can’t get away with a rock song without Bass
Yup, if the bass and drums aren't in the pocket together, you're kinda screwed
Thank you for saying thank you I really really appreciate this comment
@@aliromeromusic7570 You're very welcome my friend!!! Stay safe.👍😁🎸🤘
5:30 Was always fascinated by sounds that are ugly on their own but sound amazing within the context of the track. What metaphor for life.
My first electric guitar is in the post arriving this week and I've been pouring through the guitar based vids on produce like a pro. There was already so much good content but I guess it just keeps coming? Thanks for another great video :)

Enjoy your new guitar, what did you end up ordering if I may ask?
Scott Rance Thanks! I ordered a Paul Reed Smith Custom 24 se, I've been learning on a £30 guitar I picked up second hand and I can't wait for the upgrade. I tested loads in the store and this one spoke to me :)
Wow! That's an amazing guitar In The Mix!! Congrats!!

And if you use more than one mic/amp you can get way more than 12 tracks ! hahaha
Another super helpful video! Thanks again
Thanks ever so much
Aww inspiring. I had thought about this n people said you dont need 2 bassists or bass lines. Nah im doing this! Thanks for the awesome ideas.🍻🍻🍻
I've had my tiny mind blown watching this. that bass trick is insanely clever, the guitar sound alone is lovely but with that bass it is so gorgeous i want to emulate it immediately. Amazing.

This is the same concept, and another good reason.... to have a baritone guitar in your studio. Love it!
Nice Job Warren, Thank you!
This makes me want to spend the day in the studio. But I am buried in the business side of the studio... so cool! Thank you!
Go do it! Make some music my friend!!
Just what i needed to start the day. Thanks Warren!
Thats genius... im definitely gonna try this. I usually quad track guitars, 2 hard panned rhythm and 2 identical new performances half panned with 2 tracks of bass; one performance split into high and low with disrtion on the highs but this is a new level!

I can't believe I didn't hear this trick on my fave tracks before. Seems so simple but awesome. Firing up the DAW right now. Thanks WH.
Mixing our own album and your videos have and are a massive help...thank you
That’s a trick I’ve not heard of before! Will try it out, thanks so much for sharing!
Glad to be able to help Ben!!
BRILLIANT TRICK. WILL BE USING THIS FOR SURE
Fantastic
I LOVE this technique, and I hadn't a doubt in my mind this video was going to be great, BUT I gotta comment on that Yamaha guitar, that is a lovely instrument right there, and the paint job is flawless, what a treat!
Thanks ever so much Diego! By the way the Yamaha I play is this one:- amzn.to/2xstYqC
Thanks for sharing this trick! So simple, yet so effective!
Thanks ever so much Daniel! You Rock!
I love it! Warren you are a brilliant and genuine teacher in this community.
Tried the trick out and it gave me MASSIVE guitars! It is a fantastic way of adding bass to a wall of distortion in an organic way. Thank you!
WOW! Must try that. Another great informative video.
Very cool. I've seen people do the "copy, EQ, re-paste" thing for that mid-range nastiness.
This way does feel a little more immediate from the tiny variations.
holy crap that's magic! thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks ever so much! Glad to be able to help!!
That's a neat trick. Love the attitude it adds to those guitars!
Thanks ever so much!
Great idea! Thanks for all the quality vids.
just tried this and it's amazing
Fantastic! That's excellent to hear!!
Love the SSL bookshelf in the background :)
Haha If you look you'll notice all the faders are in use! I mix hybrid through it every day!
Just saw this! And exactly when I needed this awesome trick! Thanks again Warren for the Best content out here!
Cool, it added focus to the riff as well. Thanks Warren.
Wow! Freaking epic! I always tell guys that I record, including my own band mates, that what really makes a good solid recording is the stuff that you don't really always notice when it's in there, but you would definitely notice when it is not! Great video!

Oliver Amberg please do my friend!!
That's awesome! Thank you for sharing this!

Thank you so much for making this video!!! By using the bass trick my guitars instantly sound so much better- what I’ve started doing is panning the D string bass right and then playing the same thing an octave down panned left and it sounds so cool

Awesome man, thanks! Gotta love easy tricks like this!
absolutely incredible. So simple too
That's so cool!!! Going to try this tomorrow. Thank you for sharing this!
Fantastic! Best of luck!!
Very cool - I've been on a journey to achieve the same idea with incredibly chimey, pristine clean ambient tones - not an easy thing to do right!!
Best of luck Roland! That sounds like a great quest to me!
Great trick, & you can really hear it drive the guitar tone on the second note (D) of the progression. Thanks!
Very useful. Sounds great! Thanks Warren

Great bass/guitar trick! I'm gonna try it for sure ! Thank you Warren and have a super nice day ;-)
Thanks ever so much Claudius!!
This is the very technique to add a touch of bottom end. Thanks Warren for the tip. I might be able to tame my Mesa Boogie recto yet,
You are correct sir... I have a crybaby 535Q that has the rotary knob that allows me to set how much of a frequency sweep the pedal utilizes. Very nice wah indeed!
Hi Warren, thanks ever so much for sharing this fantastic technique, it certainly focuses the mid range and is a great way to add some extra weight to the guitar track.
Thanks ever so much Red Monkee Productions!
“Not everyone has a baritone guitar”. Is that the understatement of the century?!! Great tip and video!
Wonderful video Warren!
Thanks ever so much Apple!
Cool trick I will try it, thanks Warren for another great video.
Thanks ever so much Brian!
Great technique. Thanks for sharing.
Clever! Thanks for sharing a great tip!
Killer. Love LOVE this channel. Thanks for your hard work producing these videos.
Aw shucks thanks ever so much Scott! You Rock my friend!!

Gotcha and it's awesome! I do that in a parallel bus using an EQ with a fuzz.
Wonderful technique Warren thanks for sharing it. YOU rock!!!
You're very welcome David!! YOU ROCK!!
Very cool, Warren & this could be a solution to keeping a bassist from getting too bored, lol.
Hahaha yes indeed my friend!

You're so welcome! I really appreciate it!
damn, i love this channel ! thanks Warren !
Thanks for the tip Warren! 💪🏼💪🏼
Love these drums.
Thanks ever so much
Great tip! It’s very noticeable. Thanks.
Saw this video and implemented the bass guitar trick throughout a band’s stoner rock record. Clients couldn’t stop smiling during playback. Thanks!
That’s amazing to hear
Great tip! A cocked wah is a great trick in many situations! It sounds dirty (spoken or played) like rock and roll should!
Another awesome video. thank you for sharing and I dig your guitar playing.
Hi Adam, aw sucks thanks ever so much my friend!!
cool trick! thanks for sharing!
You’re very welcome!
So incredibly simple and sooo freaking cool. THANKS \m/
Never heard of this technique before but now that I have I'll be doing it. Cheers Warren 😁
I track a third guitar panned centre EQd with a little less bass and treble to get a wall of guitars. Much less messy than quad tracking.
Can’t wait to try this trick though.
Great video mate.
Great tip! Definitely looking forward to trying this in the future. Thanks for your content.
