1. Double track with an overdrive pedal, or use it when playing down tuned 2. Mute your strings( and/or use a noise gate) 3. Every instrument has to have it's own place in the mix(frequency) 4. Commit to a sound 5. Record it good, don't fix it later 6. Don't sinc up delay times(dont overlap them

2. If you try to use a noise gate to accomplish what muting does you accomplish nothing. The point is to not let notes that are unintended into the performance. A gate will only silence the whole signal once it's below the set threshold. When the gate is open, while you are playing, the notes you don't want are still in the chord or melody.

Rick, I know this comment is a week later, but I cannot tell you how valuable this information is and has been to me. I’ve been trying to follow the recording processes pre-loudness wars and this was a huge piece in that puzzle. I remixed a recording from a week ago and man, the difference is astounding. You can actually hear all the little nuances I placed in the recording that got washed out by the boominess of the guitar parts . People pay big money to learn what you give away for free Rick. I cannot express my gratitude to you for sharing your vast experience and knowledge. It is greatly appreciated my man! Thank you!

Now I'm on bass and drums as well, the tones are all so amazing. I want to capture as much of all of it as I can. Your instruction is invaluable.

Your love for everything music is contagious, brother. A person's true passion always shines through easily. Their eyes light up!!! This is an easy way to tell if someone is self loathing. Their eyes light up, when you change the subject to THEM. lol That wasn't meant towards you, Rick. I think that you enjoy sharing your knowledge to help other people understand your passion. I'm nowhere near as knowledgable as you, but I've always loved, and appreciated the fine details, when listening to music. You've helped me understand what those details are, that I couldn't quite put my finger on before. It's easier to engage with someone that loves what they do, instead of someone that's just doing their "job". You're a breath of fresh air.

In additio to muting and instead of using masking tape, you can double a hair band over the headstock and put over the strings just after the nut. When you do't want the muting you can just slide the headband behind the nut. Elegant technique and very useful. 🤗

Hi Rick! Love your channel. This is a great video. A suggestion: If you can make a followup lesson with a end-to-end demonstration of how you do a complete mix of all instruments using all these ideas - it will be not only so much clearer but super-duper helpful. It doesn't have to be a difficult song, could be a simple one but if you can walk us through how you actually mix these tracks while taking into account all these factors you highlighted here - it will be fantastic. Merry XMas.

Love these lessons, Rick. So, what's wrong with mono? When we hear a band live, it's mono through the mains. A lot of Rock, R&B, Blues and Jazz recordings sound better in mono, IMO. Try it. Also, just a tip. On a Gibson-style stop tailpiece try top wrapping. First lower the tailpiece to the body and load the strings from front to back, wrapping the strings around it so that they go over the top. This does five nice things: 1. the tailpiece touching the body adds connectivity and the transfer of string energy to the body 2. enhances string to tailpiece energy and connectivity 3. relaxing the angle of the string to the bridge adds and enriches overall harmonics 4. reduces overall string tension and 5. less string down force on the bridge saddles reduces breakage Rick, you may know all of this, but if some here don't, I offer this tip.

Haven't recorded in years now, but I would always double track my guitars and use different tones and level of overdrive in each side. To avoid "big mono", which is what it sounds like if you don't do that. Or the common trick was always Fender in one speaker Gibson in the other.

I recently started experimenting with low tunings and heavy strings (65 on top) and it's hard for me to get a that thick/semi-bright/drive tone I like. Taking your advice and plugging into an OD pedal with low gain has gotten me closer to what I like. After the OD pedal I use a Big Muff Fuzz pedal and the tone is getting better. I don't understand that shelf and hi pass stuff you'rr alking about, but the OD Pedal worked for me with my low tuning and heavy strings. Thanks, Rick!!!

@starttherebellion9146 5 жыл бұрын

Hey guys, as a fellow musician with some experience with Rick in this particular area, lol... let me offer a bit of insight that I believe you'll agree is self-evident. - If you watch Rick for any length of time it should be obvious how seriously he works, and has worked his whole life, in the pursuit of making a difference in the world with music. It should also be obvious from the high-level content that he provides on this channel, yes for free, that he's tailoring it for serious students of music. - I think you'll also agree that it must be _very_ frustrating for a man of that caliber, who's _that_ serious... about _that_ noble of a goal, to be constantly dealing with petty criticisms (not saying that _yours_ was certainly) all-day-every-day from random posturing internet know-it-alls. That would be very frustrating indeed. Realizing this... if we're being mature... shouldn't we cut the man some slack, lol? If he's sometimes sensitive to criticism, even well-intended "constructive" criticism, don't you think he's earned the consideration of our understanding? - Like I said, Rick and I had our moment, and it was a much bigger squaring-off than this believe me, lol, but I looked into my heart and took a step back and realized what I've shared here with you. - And don't think for a second I'm just some sycophant. Oh no, lol... quite the opposite. I question authority all the time. But I think you have to see things in perspective. And, in light of what's being freely given here, it would be very small of us to not be more understanding of the occasional gruffness don't you think?
