Rick please make more content like this. This is my favourite type of content from your channel. I know it may be a bit niche but this is killer. Keep up the great content

When you get Tom to explain the reasoning behind the decisions, that is so extra helpful, great way of lifting up these videos so it doesn't have so much calculus trigonometry class vibes.

@andretonelli 7 ай бұрын

What a stunningly useful video, Rick! Whenever GL was falling into the common “a little bit of this and that, let’s move on” thing, the fact that you stopped to go deeper is where the gold really lies. Great job to both of course. And Greg!

Thanks for this very concise, clear and distinctly helpful summary of your drum method for Greg B's playing. Super useful for me in a small home studio, but using a full acoustic kit. Especially with your context of why you use particular bands for EQ on individual elements, compression rationale, etc. If you could do more like this, it'd be awesome! Thanks for all your content over the many years, Mr. Beato. You're making a profound difference to many.

@atomspliter3493 7 ай бұрын

This takes me back I was in a audio engineering school back in the nineties and these are for the most part the mic choices we used back in the day. Back then we had three studios which had a neve, SSL and a api consoles to choose from and we had old studer 2 inch 24 track machines to record to and mastered with dats. Cool video, takes me back.

Thanks so much Rick! The timing of this video was perfect. I have been tuning my drum room and setting up to record my 73 Pearl Dynabeat that I reconditioned (Fibreglass +concert toms). This video reassured me that the things that were bothering me in my small room were still present in your studio. I am in my 40's and I learned audio while working for my old man's jazz band in the 90's. I Started on an Atari St and it still amazes me till this day what we can do in the box with tried and true recording techniques. Big respect for all you do mate, cheers from Melbourne Au.

Great subtle tip. If you record the TOP and BOTTOM of a snare, reverse the phase of the mic of the BOTTOM to avoid the top and bottom signals being out of phase with each other and killing the attack.
