title question at 19:51, but don't skip the whole part! :)

Hi Friend! This week for FAQ Friday we had some wonderful questions!! And I get to answer some hair tips questions!! haha Please keep the amazing questions coming! Just ask them below and I will do my best to get to as many as possible! Have a marvellous time!

The double mic technique is gold! 👌 Thanks Warren!

I can watch Warren's videos all day. Such great information.

Hi warren, I must say you are one hell of a great guy for doing all you do for us, thanks bud, your amazing.

'Hair today gone tomorrow' !! LOL! Wonderful Video as usual Warren

This video is so informative. This was a real good one!

So much knowledge on mixing/EQ in this one. Good stuff Warren!

Awesome vid. Watched a few of your great videos, but its now your hair and the intro that earned my subscription!

Thanks for your time sir.

You're hair is lovely. I wish I still had mine :(

Genius and so simple. I had an issue with some bass frequencies popping out above the rest in some notes, hadn't thought of multipressor

I saw the comments in the past, about your hair. Just smiled about it, and thought. Here is a guy, giving not only the best advices but also being a great person. And all the comments boiled down to was; Whats up with your hair.. I cant believe that tunnel vision.. Have a great day, love your vidoes and all the great stuff im learning each day. Thank you so much Warren. Best Regards Thomas, Denmark

The first time I recorded at Sonica in Atlanta they had a whole wall of guitar amps of every kind. The engineer asked me what I wanted to play through and I pointed to a little brown tolex Fender Vibrolux. He said, "Yea, that's the money tone!" Now all I want is a Vox AC15, so things change.

One of the better, if possible, sessions Warren. I particularly believe informing "the community" to depend on their ears, and not what the stinking waveform looks like, is the best lesson of all. It has served no small number of our heroes forever, but it doesn't seem to ring true with far too many today. Thanks for all your contributions.

Very helpful on this one I had mud last week. Added new virtuals.

You never fail on sharing with us the best information. A HUGE thank you Warren!!!

Hi Warren, Thank you for sharing this video! My recent purchase lead me to give it a view. I just received my NS10Ms and P2200 today. After reading the manual and searching the web I still feel uncertain about connecting my mixer to the P2200. My mixer has 1/4” and PIN 2 hot/ PIN 3 cold outputs. The amp has 1/4” and unbalanced XLR inputs. Aren’t 3 pin XLR cables balanced? I think if I plug in the XLRs into the mixer and amp something bad will happen. Will you please explain what I should do in order to connect them correctly?

Great FAQ Warren. Thanks! Have a wonderful weekend!

For the bass volume automation check Waves Bass Rider!!

Thank you so much Warren!

Hi warren i've just signed back up for another year in the academy and i can't download the multitracks for your mixing in the box course. i can see others have had trouble and have had the issue resolved. is there anything in particular i need to do?? Thanks your a legend BTW

when high passing guitars, does it make sense to use linear phase instead of natural phase just to keep the energy distributed better or is that just not necessary?

Thank you ever so much Warren for another marvellous video and have a great weekend :)

Thanks ever so much Warren for yet another highly informative video. Question, I would be interested to know if you have you used any of the liquid mix emulations from Focusrite. If yes what were your impressions of them? Thanks again Warren till next video.

So. What if you hi pass too much on the recording end, and get to the mix and find you need more low end? Just eq it back in? Or is there another method that might work better?

Great hair Great vid 🎸🎼Happy Friday!

Sweet, new video! I'm guessing diagonal SM57's is going to be a bit tricky on my closed Framus 412 cab :/. Great vid, would LOVE to hear those Zappa stories, brother.

Any mastering monitor recommendations for larger size well-treated room (8 meters by 17 meters)?

Not the worst thing to be compared to Alvin Stardust. Feel like Buddy Holly is still one of my favorite songs of all times giving ma goose bums whenever it is on the radio. Great lyrics and a goto song to answer the question how to write a hit single.

I figured out 2 years ago it was how often you doff and donn headphones (and sharing was the goal not vanity). Signed, reformed hair commenter, Michael B

thank you Warren your just to cool

Hey Warren, I was looking at the join page for the Academy, you had mentioned for a short time we could join for a cheaper price for monthly. I could only find the option to pay for an entire year. Am I missing something? I would like to try for a month first being as I have a good amount of knowledge already, and I wanted to make sure it was at a sufficiently high level before I committed for a year. Thanks 🙏

Thanx again Warren...!! Great great!!

Sorry for being a bit of a wanker today. Love the show. Thank you!

What kind of speakers are behind you?

Your hair is great. Thanks for the information!

Hey warren, great vid and great hair as always ;) I'd like to ask about your opinion on cheaper compressors, such as the ART Pro VLA II? What are some good alternatives to the Distressor? Thanks alot!

thanks as always warren for your generosity and great content. would love a video on getting good tones with amp simulators and your cheapest electric , or some of your own personal mixing tips for virtual amps. see alot of videos you mention where the information seems to be leading me the wrong direction, maybe some eq tips on clean guitars or pluck guitar clean, if you get chance haha, blessings warren

Please ignore the dumb comments, you are wasting your time giving them what they want... a reaction. your time is more important than that. thank you for all the great tips and techniques.

Loving the burns ! :-)

Wouldn't have thought of micing directly opposite on an amp speaker. That's very interesting. On the topic of amps, actually, what are your thoughts on solid state amps? I'm currently using a Boss Katana-50, and while I like it, I'm always mildly worried about not using that "truly alive" tube sound.

Can you talk about producing vs songwriting? How the two intertwine with each other, as well as how they're kept separately. Cheers from Texas! ✌🏼

In the analog world, a high pass filter with a very sharp cutoff will ring (and that resonance can be good or bad). So, 6db per octave or 12db per octave is about the max. I haven't researched the digital filters (except from listening), but it seems that you can cut at 24db per octave without any ill effects. How do you like the slopes of your cutoffs? Gentle or Hard?

Could you please give us some tips on how you balance working 12-15 days while having a family life? Especially early in a career where you are really burning the midnight oil to try to get established.

Hello Warren, First and foremost thank you for all the great content and videos greatly appreciated. What is the best way to contact you, I have tried a few times?

Adding a lewitt, I hope it goes well with my voice. It's similar to Tyrese not quite as deep.

High pass on drum overheads?

A quick research shows that Bob Ludwig uses EgglestonWorks Ivy Signature monitors-which he took part developing with EgglestonWorks. Around 55,000 euro each. But hey, they go down do 13 Hz according to specs. Something for the bassheads to drool for. I find some master engineers prefer using "hifi" speakers instead of active monitors. I believe the EgglestonWorks speakers e.g. are probed to the high end consumer market. (Hifi market being a completely-yet very interesting-discussion to have on another forum I guess...

Whoever asked the HP guitar question thank you for doing so!

Maaaaaaaarrrrrrrvvvvvveeeeeeellllllloooooouuuuuuusssssss!!!!! Thanks for another splendid video! :)

Hallo Warren, i like to Know, how Jaco Pastorius has record his Old Fender Jazz speziell on Joni Mitchell Sessions

Another hair comparison I saw made during the live stream the other day was David Tennant from Doctor Who. Of course, the difference is, you don't mumble when you speak.

I love how you roll with the bad hair comments!!! It's always good fun to make fun of yourself. Anyway, great channel!!! I'm a big fan of your knowledge... And your hair!

The hair works great!

Do you add your effects pre or post recording guitar?

If abraham lincoln and elvis presley had a a kid it would be you lol, good video btw

Adam Faith man!

Whats the deal with something like the Shure A15HP ? no one dose videos on them....

The only 'law' in hi or lowpassin, imo, = check phases in multiple cases

You are a charismatic cat... and a friend of Dave Jerden. I love it!

Hair has character!

can you master on auratones?

Only rockers and great scientist have crazy hair , rock on warren .

Egglestonworks Ivy's I think about $100k.

Hey, so you talked about not using your eyes but then you showed us the high pass example with your hands lol. I know the default logic and pro tools eq show highpasses very differently. What dB/octave do you define as gentle?

Hey, your hair is just fine. I cut mine every six months like a true hair farmer. Keep doin what doin! Appreciate your "realness". Is that a word? Have great wknd my friend!

Warren, old chum. Please try not to be insecure about your physical appearance as you need not be - you always look great and in top shape!

I have never seen a B&W speaker in a music studio but many use them for mastering. Why?

Regarding monitors, I know you have said not to use generic HiFi speakers, and in general I agree. But what about old "good" speakers like, (just 1 example), Kef reference 104 ab's ? I know they were used in some (maybe smaller) studios in the UK back in the day (1970's -80's), along with old Tannoy's and Heybrook's. A re-cap is usually all they'd need to get back to near enough factory spec. The drive units are usually still fine after nearly 50 years ! (IF they've been looked after). Some of those old REAL High Fidelity speakers were rather accurate, especially the Reference ones. They were designed not to add or remove anything to/from the sound source. Coupled with a 50 watt per channel amp, would be ok I think, if you're sensible at home ? Would a pair of modern lower priced, powered 5" or 6" monitors really be better (especially the low end without a sub) ? Sorry, I'm just an old fart, tightwad, who'd rather recycle / re-purpose if possible. I don't want to open a can of worms, I'm just interested in your opinion. For the younger generation just getting started, I'd say stick with Warren's Advice, get powered monitors, A) it's easier, and B) you get a warranty. My question is more of an older guy's curiosity thing.

Awesome FAQ’s 😎 it’s really very simple. Gentle High Pass is your friend. If you don’t understand that you ain’t a mixing engineer. Sure, you won’t need to high pass everything but if you have a lot going on, high passing clears up the low end and creates room for the Kick & Bass. If you have read this, join Produce Like A Pro Academy to learn properly. I have 😎

Multiband Compression in low end 😊 that’s it

comment @ 6:12 is the best!!!

I like the new camera angle.

Well now I'm intrigued, and a little distracted. 🕵️‍♀️ You guys and your hair talk. Makes me remember my man. 😊 Then I just can't think of anything else.

Because you keep speaking about it I am requesting the song "She's always in my Hair" PRN but u know. I didn't know there was no video, save the live version.

start 1:37

That's what I have been doing volume automation and playing with velocity, remember I am programming it like Dan the Automator. All the tracks where only meant as a sketch pad..I posted some, and they become quite popular with some thirsty hombres. Yes they where all copyrighted and the took anyway. Now I am in music therapy.

Great Video. Today I'm among the guys who comments your hair. You're a lucky guy. On my head there are strange things going on. My hair has started a competition. It's about getting grey or going bald and I fear the bald fraction is going to win. So, regardlessly what the blokes say 'bout you hair, at least you've got some. ;-)

DAVID TENANT

Nice tips! ps. Looks a bit like a "punk rock hair style", I like it!

King 👑 Huart

hi warren, sorry not been able to watch this cool vid yet but I thought you might be interested in a new plugin by hornet plugins ,its called the thirty one auto eq, you put it on the mix bus , please check it out if you can its fantastic and definitely worth a shout out. be well friend and I hope to watch this later , thanks again and i really appreciate the course, one day when money is not so tight your academy is on my list to join if you don't mind having me. all the best, Darren Ross.

I have a question (and it isn't about your hair or a vaguely sexual pun). Could there be a potential fix, in these newfangled "bone-conduction" headphones, to the age-old conundrum of vocalists having to either track with headphones that make it hard to hear themselves, or with monitors that make for a lot of bleed into the vocal tracks? Basically, these headphones go on your cheekbones or the bones behind your ears, transmitting the sound to your eardrums without blocking your ears the way regular headphones do. They are marketed as a safety thing for people who operate forklifts, or as a convenience for people work in busy offices where they need to hear stuff, and most are bluetooth, but I think panasonic makes a wired set for remarkably cheap, cheap enough that I'd get a pair exclusively for that application if it would work. Thoughts?

On the old stuff I had to make the sounds

i love your hair

Lol at the intro!

And a bit of Timothy Olyphant.... may have spelled that wrong.

Steve Jones Professionals album is a prime example of clashing phase.. can't listen arrghh. Now THAT is in prime need of a remaster

Yup synth issues. Solana, and semv

But they are cool

its rock and roll man who cares lol hair what people really care about, Warren is just as cool in person great guy thanks for giving back brother.

how do you keep your concentration level up for twelve to fifteen hours a day??? I am totally burnt out after eight hours of my day job and I am younger than you. And I don’t hate my job.

15:32 Crazy Frog ;-)

That was my falsetto

Everyone said 47 best singers mic so... Giving it a shot.

I hope my hair is still that good when I'm your age! forget those haters. Their mothers didn't hug them enough as children.

your hair is Rock purity

Yes I am in the box dam it don't judge me,lol

I think you're a dead-ringer for Michael Palin!
