Warren shows his production technique of layering acoustic guitars. He uses a standard acoustic and then doubles the part with a "Nashville Tuning" acoustic to simulate a 12-string guitar.
Produce Like A Pro is a website which features great tips to help the beginning recordist make incredible sounding home recordings on a budget. - Розваги
During research for my degree dissertation in music production I watched 100’s of hours of Warrens teachings and I’m immensely grateful for the knowledge. Such a brilliant teacher and patient man.
Wow! Thanks ever so much
The Nashville guitar trick just changed my life. I almost cried. Can't wait to try this. It sounds amaaaaazing.
Ah! I know right! :D I love that feeling when u actually learn something :D
i've been dying to do 12 string electric but dont have one and man is my mind blown
Yeah, this is amazing!
This is an amazing trick! I’m in the process of recording an acoustic record and this is awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing!
You can also dub a 2nd guitar using a capo...which I do on almost 90% of acoustic guitar recordings, along with a few other tricks such as this trick and a 12-string guitar...I have a dedicated guitar just for this trick....
Hi Friends, this is one of my favorite production tips for acoustic guitar. Many of you have probably heard me talk about the "Nashville Tuning" to simulate a 12-string guitar. First, I record an acoustic tuned regularly, then I double the part using a cheap guitar tuned with the high string of a 12-string. It is a really great sound and often it is much more defined than using a 12-string. It's even how they recorded many of the Tom Petty records that I really love! I hope you enjoy the video and please leave lots of comments! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
+Produce Like A Pro HEY Warren! Good to see Nashville tuning still rocks! Replace E wounded-string with a plain one (i.e. unwounded) and then play first 4 string on guitar, from top to bottom (E-A-D-G) followed by playing from botttom to top (E-B-G-D). Do YOU remeber anything? :)
Hi +Felice Proietti Haha yes that is correct!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Holy cow!. Great tip, gonna Nashville up my spare acoustic 😀
Produce Like A Pro seems like a big ask but could you help produce my band's next EP please?
Hi Warren, I'm now officially hooked on your videos and this one particularly is very useful. Thank you.
A cheap acoustic hunting I will go!
I know it's said that "you can't please all the people all the time", but what's not to "like" about it?
Perhaps the 41 own cheap Epiphones and if so, what's wrong with that? LOL
Good gear alone does NOT make good music and many a fine tune has been played on an old guitar.
Thank you again.
Regards
Graham
from shirt buttons, mic placement, nashville tuning, snafus in the beginning of acoustic strum passages - you hit on most of the things i already learned along the way, most by trial and error. thanks for making this in such a pleasant, profession manner. i really appreciate it!
Hi +john star cluster Wonderful! Glad to be able help! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
john starcluster
He’s not the least bit snarky about anything. Very pleasant to learn from.
The guitars sound so great just on their own! This is perfect example of not relying on Mixing alone and getting it right during the recording phase! Thanks Warren for these amazing videos !
Warren you are a treasure chest of immensely valuable information. I appreciate all you do.
Thanks very much Mike!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Dude, that Nashville just saved my 69 euro old acoustic from getting to the trash. Im SO gonna use it now
Thanks ever so much! I’m glad to be able to help
Sensational, you were a master of yours. Some of them might feel it exaggerated to produce a song like that. But you show what a simple acoustic guitar is capable of, it’s gives a song this very special sounded carpet that you never get with keyboards. thank you for your effort
Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it
This really specific type of video going through the whole process of recording a particular instrument end-to-end (from mic placement, chain, doubling techniques, and tips and tricks in the DAW) is incredibly on point. 'Marvelous' work. Keep 'em coming!!!
Quality channel here! I've been following Warren for a couple of years now ! it's always a pleasure to come back and forth on his videos and re-learn the basics and even new stuff!
Shout Out Mister Warren! 🙏🏼🔥
Love from FRANCE 🇫🇷
Wow. Thanks Warren. Your instructional technique is awesome. I love how you've got so much knowledge to share, and yet are totally humble at the same time.
this channel is fantastic. I've been producing music professionally for 10+ years and I'm still learning everyday, and learning lots from you! thank you.
Thanks, Warren. Your content is accessible, free of attitude (thank you!) and you somehow hit on the exact things I've had as unanswered questions for ages.
Words just can´t express how much I´m learning watching your Vids.... Kudos
Hi +Colm Mulvey You're welcome! So glad to be able to help! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Straight into it, straight talking, simple & inexpensive, great sounding, recorded in real time with a track to really feel the vibe within the mix immediately 10/10 x
I’ve watched 100s of 1000s of studio videos/how tos/ studio tricks/etc... and I can honestly say this is one the best. Very well done, kept me tuned in and soooo much new valuable information! And that Nashville tuning trick is incredible, first hearing.
Keep up the good work!! Watching all the way from Twillingate, Newfoundland, Canada!
Cheers, mate!
Thank you! It's a little mind blowing that we have such access to tutorials from professionals. Awesome stuff.
Hi Warren , just found your videos a couple of weeks ago, Thank you so much for spending your time to spread producing knowledge to the world. Thanks again. I admire people like you . I wish I could teach the way you do .
Great job! From a fellow "old school" lifelong industry pro, so glad guys like you are around to teach recording techniques the proper way. Sounds great Warren, real instruments! Keep up the great work man!
I just got back into recording at home and this video totally opened up the world of my large diaphram condencer mic with my acoustic guitar! I had no idea in the past that the soundhole was causing all of my clarity problems. I was just concerned about getting good levels. I positioned the mic facing across the soundhole pointing at my picking hand and voila! Thanks so much for doing your excellent videos!
Years of experience shining through in this video !! Fantastic Warren.
Thanks ever so much
I've watched this video a number of times since its release and, as so often happens with this mysterious music journey I'm on, mental notes are taken without me even realizing it. I wrote a song back in 1989, the oldest song I've written, and have always thought it would make a very good country release. I don't particularly like how my vocals sit with it, but I've just sat on it all these years and rarely even perform it during my Friday night set. Anyway, I decided to gather some local musicians and record it in my home studio and release it as a single. I've been laying down the acoustic and electric guitar fills and something was just missing. I remembered the Nashville Tuning you'd mentioned and strung my Taylor Jewel Limited Edition acoustic as a Nashville this evening. Wow, what a difference that makes! I think I found some of what was missing with the opening measures, which must be bright and full. This valuable tuning information you shared is really gonna add that sparkle you mentioned. Again, your generosity within this community and your willingness to share is so very much appreciated, Warren. Be blessed!
Hi Warren, you keep mesmerizing me every time you post a video demonstrating the different ways of recording and mixing tracks. Tricks like the ones you showed with the Nashville are so great, that I bet there wouldn't be a flaw in it, given your thought process which was so evidently shown. Just wanna say that I appreciate the time and effort that you put in to make videos like these in addition to your regular work load. Hope that some day, I get to meet you and even get my songs produced with your creative touch ! God Bless !
This is great. It's pretty amazing that you are so generous with your knowledge. Thank you.
wow I love the entire technique. It brings a full body sound out and the progression in that part is perfect feel as well.
Fantastic Thomas!! So glad to be able to help!
Excellent info. I've used your tips from today during our recording. Always in gratitude towards you, Warren. Thank you.
Great tips, really appreciate the years and experience you bring to the craft. Extremely well done, take a bow!
This is really great and usefull, and I so much like your relaxed form. Reapect to you Sir and thanks
Total clarity and great advice.Thanks!
awesome warren thank you for showing
I was searching for tips on how to record acoustic guitar and came across this video. This is great advice. I've never recorded an acoustic before and I would have definitely pointed the mic right at the sound hole the first time. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge here on UA-cam!
Thanks for those acoustic tips, I've heard about them before, but now I've actually seen them in action.
I really really love your channel so much Warren. Everytime you inspire me with your great tipps. Im so thankful for all these things that you share with your community. Im a huge fan of your work pls keep it up for ever!
Hi +Simon Lake So glad to be able to share information with everyone! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I recorded 4 songs with Don Redcloud Smith just before he passed - he was the best! Thank you Warren I love your channel man -
BG

Hi David, thank you ever so much for your kind words!! So glad to be able to help!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I just watched this video again (after a few years) and got some new tips. I'll watch this again in a couple years for some more. Thanks man!
Thanks ever so much Bryan!
Gamechanger. That Nashville stringed up. Thank you so much for sharing.
Man, that Nashville trick is really a revelation for me (and I am 61 years old now....). I really sounds amazing. Thank you!
PERFECT, Straight to the point.
THANKS
Wow !! I have been searching for a way to get clear acoustic sounds in my "muddy" dull acoustic tracks... Also like the 12 string effect... I was going to buy an expensive Taylor guitar because they are brighter than Martins, but this trick saved me money and time,,,
This is an awesome video !! Thanks Warren...
Excellent video, so thorough. Love Nashville tuned guitars, such a useful thing to add.
Thanks ever so much!!
Amazing sound! And with inexpensive gear too! Thanks for the knowledge!
Great tip on the Nashville tuning! I'd heard of it but now I'm inspired to string up my seldom used backup acoustic this way.
Thanks!
Wonderfully done. Thanks! LOVE that nashville guitar method. Very unique. I have an old high school guitar just waiting for that to be done to.
This was great. What a gem of a trick here.
Brilliant , entertaining and very educational. Great channel. Thanks
Thanks for this amazing video learned so much today 👌
Thanks so much Warren. Great ideas and techniques - explained in a concise and easy to comprehend delivery. I'm inspired and will try your excellent recommendations for recording my acoustics. Rock on and Cheers.
Love the octave trick on the acoustic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎸🎧
Such an immense source of knowledge to all of us🙏🙏 thank you, plap!
Wow, that does sound incredibly nice. That thing about the 6 string being a 12 string blew my mind. People always ask why I don't play a 12 string and Warren explained all the reasons that they are difficult to record and play with, let alone tune. But yes the 12 string effect is wonderful to hear and record with this Nashville Guitar setup.
This is such a useful trick, I have an old guitar in the loft that just found itself employment. Thanks very much.
Great stuff. Thanks for taking the time.
Really impressive acoustic guitar sound! Thanks Warren for your video..I really appreciate!
The high stringing is cool! Thanks Warren!!
Simply brilliant, so well explained too
Wow, this sounds amazing!
Thank you Warren. Well done and much appreciated.
Thanks very much Michael! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Great stuff. This makes me like live music even more :) I can't imagine the amount of hours that goes into the acquisition of this level of expert knowledge. Well done.
Just wanted to say thanks for the tips! Definitely going to be using these ideas on my next session.
Can't wait to try this! It's amazing what you can do with an inexpensive instrument.
Just found this gem video. Thanks Warren!
Thanks ever so much
That Nashville tuning rocks! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for demonstrating some of your techniques for recording acoustic guitar. It was surprisingly simple - one small diaphragm mike pointed at the body near the neck. I also appreciate the explanation of the Nashville tuning method. It seems like a great way to get a 12 string sound without the hassle of a 12 string.
Very clear. Well explained! Thanks a lot for sharing these interesting techniques.
Just came across this. What a great idea
The Nashville guitar trick is simply brilliant.
Brilliant! Loads of good ideas there, thank you Warren!
Hi +Spoolz07 Thanks very much!! Thanks for watching!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I am not even a minute into the video and you already have helped immensely! I can't even count how many takes that I have ruined with the pick hitting the soundboard or pickguard. That is a sound that I have come to loathe. Thank you!
Hi +Sean McAleavy Wow great to hear that helped! You Rock! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren!
EXCELLENT WARREN!!!! another excellent and useful video!!! i will use this technique! thanks.... saludos desde Mexico!
Great video. Now I know about Nashville doubling and set up a guitar for it for the first time. Thanks!
Greetings from India. 10 years of guitar and still learning . Nashville tuning...wow. That's new. Will apply that to my records. Thanks a lot Warren.
Hi +Daipayan Karmakar Glad to be able to help! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Such a great technique. Thank you!
Great videos Warren. Thanks from Ireland :)
Found it - the one who tells it straight - bookmarked and subscribed - a million thanks! ZING!
Hi Warren, Such an understandable and most compressive video. Thank you so much, you are a gem! Pete
Ive never heard of that trick and I think its great! You are a great educator.
I love these over the shoulder lessons. It feels like I'm Inturning. Thanks
Hi +Abel Bear Thanks very much! So glad to be able to help! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
This is really brilliant! Will use this on my new records! ❤️
Great tips! Thanks! Learning a lot from your videos!
Learnt something new today! Thanks a lot 😊
That tuning technique is awesome. I've tricked people into thinking I was recording mandolin with a similar technique.
Great! Yes, that makes perfect sense! I appreciate the great comment! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Shuff It Q
Really great and inspiring, thank you!
A very good demo of some good tricks
Very good info. Thank you, Warren! I'm new to recording with a DAW, so this is all very good information.
I have always wondered how to get that rich natural chorus sounding acoustic guitar sound. The tip of using the EADG octvae strings is fantastic, thanks for sharing this wonderful tip. Love it.
Killer!! Thank you for the knowledge! You rock Warren!
Now THAT was very useful! Thanks Warren!
love this Nashville guitar thing. I had to set one like that for recording
Awesome short vid! Learned a lot, never heard of that guitar type either.
Thank You Warren !! I know this vid has been out for awhile but this really is some GOOD stuff
You're wonderful, thank you so much for making this!
This is one of those things, Warren. I often use the example of loaning an old used car or truck to someone. You don't realize how well you know your own vehicle till someone else has to drive it and cannot figure anything out... I couldn't open the gas cap! I could't find the wiper switch! I couldn't adjust the seats! These are all things an owner or vet is familiar with that others are not. This video is perfect in that regard. My guess is that this stuff is all second nature to you and while a bit of it is now after years of trial and error getting there with me, it is extremely helpful to see this done so concisely and basically. For a vet, it might seam simplistic. For a student, invaluable. Please keep doing videos like this. Love them.
Hi +PJSGBC Aw shucks! You are very kind indeed Sir! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
So much help. Thanks
Excellent tips concerning twelve string.....should make for a creative weekend using this info...thanks Warren!
Hi +NIPPER CREEK Fantastic! Did you have a wonderful weekend using the Nashville Tuning? Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

There goes the batteries on the tuner...
I hate when that happens.
