    Have been watching a lot of videos about making music. Most of the content on UA-cam is just so superficial compared to yours. I realize how much there is to learn watching your videos: theory, skills of playing, production, gear and even video editing.

    I pray for the right camera angles when looking for live footage to play the song as accurately as possible too hahahaah. That's insane. I thought i was crazy and my ocd was taking over. I also try to look for acoustic versions of the songs played by thom, jonny or ed, so i can make sense of what am hearing on the recorded version with all the effects. Cool man! Keep on doing these!

    Originally was going to comment here but then didn't but decided to come back to say something because you deserve it. Have watched most of your videos for the past months and you have such a great channel. It's so cool to see some of my favorite songs in a live setting, especially the ones that I haven't seen live videos of. Also awesome that besides Radiohead you also for example do Interpol covers which is a band I love and you also cover some other great artists I enjoy. I mostly wanted to leave a comment though because you also seem like such a genuine person with no ego and so much passion for what you're doing, and someone who also is putting in so much effort in helping other people get better at music with great tutorials. So much respect man and please keep it up :)

You've made a few videos on the guitar work of Radiohead's guitarists bit I was wondering if you ever intend on making videos on the drums and bass in Radiohead songs. I'd love if you did as Colin and Phil are one of my favorite rhythm sections in music.

    I'm very happy to see your channel growing, you deserve that! so sorry about your grandmother, but this is life isn't it? You surely inspired so many people including myself. I have been a big fan of your covers and before I know it, I started recording two songs and uploaded one already. I have never decided to sing, always like to play music but believed that my voice is not good enough to use it. I used to work on some music projects and ask people for help (singing it) but I never got help from anyone and thus, had to ignore all of my music projects. Now I changed my mind, even if my voice is not good enough, I believe it is just like any instrument I learnt. If I keep practicing and working, it will surely get better one day. I'm an engineering student and in my spare time I like to record music, I only own Focusrite scarlit 2i2 and I basically use Garageband and Ableton live for everything I make (which is nothing comparing to what I saw in your video) but I'm happy cause I'm doing all of the work myself. Thank you for inspiring me and others. If you had to see my latest work, would be an honor to hear feedback from the person that inspired me! Keep uploading! Greetings from Egypt!

Keep doing it man, looking forward to seeing your growth! 👍

    Hey Joe, thanks for your incredible covers and sharing all the process ! The content of your channel is of rare quality, keep up the good work ;). I have a question because I am particularly impressed by your singing : how did you learn to sing ? Did you take lessons or is it practicing and listening a lot ? I am really curious to know more about the process, how long and what it took to get this good. At least in your case. Thanks again for the music !

    • @JoeEdelmann3
      @JoeEdelmann3  3 роки тому +4

      Thank you! Im glad you enjoy the channel. I don’t have any formal training in singing to speak of... but just out of necessity singing in bands and listening to singers I admire I began to teach myself. Ive definitely come a long way since those earliest attempts 😆 I’ve had a couple friends with more of a singing background give tips along the way but I’m always looking for ways to improve and keep developing! The main thing I’ve learned by singing along to Thom how to use different vowel shapes and “place” the voice in different parts of my head or chest to create different tones. But control and vibrato in both the lowest and highest parts of the register is still something I wrestle with!

    This video was really helpful. I do have one question though. Do you typically record audio and video at the same time for most covers (with of course some comping after), or do you record video separate from audio?

    • @JoeEdelmann3
      @JoeEdelmann3  4 роки тому +4

      I guess I’m (slightly) older than I look! 😝 I’ve been playing music for about 20 years and doing my own recording for just under 10 of them. I’ve accumulated the gear I use gradually over that time, with the cheddar I’ve earned working as a data analyst and as a gigging musician. And I’ve learned what I know about recording and mixing through some friends/peers, the internet and books! It’s been a long and ongoing journey, but a very, very fun one.

    • @JoeEdelmann3
      @JoeEdelmann3  3 роки тому +4

      I haven’t tried it, but apparently there’s an RE320 which is supposed to be very similar, which I see used prices for about $180... you may be able to find other “broadcast”/podcast type mics in that price range that do the same thing with low end smoothness. Or for a more traditional approach there’s plenty of large diaphragm condenser mics ( I have one by Sterling Audio, I think ST55?) in around that price range, but they’re definitely brighter sounding.

That being said, other really popular manufacturers are Sennheiser and AKG which I’m sure both have good entries in that price range I’m unfamiliar with.

    So you add compressors multiple times, to the single instruments and to the complete track?

    • @JoeEdelmann3
      @JoeEdelmann3  4 роки тому +9

      Francesco P yes! I will add a compressor on the instrument’s channel, set it to taste, and I will sometimes also use what’s called parallel compression (for example, send the drum tracks all to one stereo bus, compress that heavily, and blend it up underneath). Then there’s that “mastering” style compression that I set more subtle, really just to smooth and liven things up a tiny bit towards the end before raising the gain. Compression is like salt, it can add flavor but you obviously don’t want it to be all you taste haha, so it’s all about striking the right balance and making sure nothing sounds too unnatural in context.

Played in a bunch of different bands throughout high school and college, studied some basic theory and music history in college too. The quest continues every day!!
