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

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!

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.

I agree with many others, it‘s great to see you getting back into the control room. More videos on production techniques, recording and mixing would be appreciated.

I love how Rick is looking at the engineer as he is explaining things @ 6:56. It's the exact same look I give to my audio students when they're explaining something to others. That I'm ready to jump in if one little thing is incorrect or needs clarity look lol. A great teacher and musician.

I did use a little eq in my recording setup, but no compression at all. Only well-placed and balanced quality drum microphones.

I still have the modern drummer from 1983 Alex Van Halen issue with greg's picture in an ad and he slightly bald. Yes He had hair work, and it lists him playing for the maynard ferguson jazz band. Then I remember him joining Dave's band and being like Wow that's the same dude!! He was a hell of a player then and he still one monster on the drums today!!

Long time fan first time caller... A 'tape machine' plugin is great on basement recordings, I slap it on the master of everything.

@UdiKoomran 6 ай бұрын

An point almost always ignored is were to place the drum kit in the room - were does the kit and the room ( especially the low end ) interact best. Same actually goes for any other instrument. Moving the source by a feet can dramatically sound different and placing it in the right soot will ensure optimal response and then will require much less processing And its quite an easy task to fulfill

@micheldevries7975 7 ай бұрын

That's how you do it (that +/- 470Hz dip you take out in multiple channels is basically a 'problem' frequency of that particular room and as I understand it might differ from room to room)

@robwasnj 6 ай бұрын

"except for that compressor", lol. Yeah, that was a huge change! Can hear the tape emulator too but only because it's side by side.

@coastrider9673 6 ай бұрын

As a lifelong drummer and recordist, I have tried many different mic techniques. What I have found to be the best is a well tuned kit in a nice sounding room, recorded with only two mics, and no processing. The two mics are a figure eight ribbon and a cardioid condenser, in a coincident semi Blumlein M-S arrangement, placed just above the drummer's head; with the ribbon track then copied, phase flipped, and panned to create stereo.

@BananaManPL 7 ай бұрын

Honestly - just listen to the room mics. 80% is Gregg's spectacular playing, 20% comes from the pro-grade, well tuned drumkit in a good room. Everything after that is just flavor, it's really hard to screw up such a good source.

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.

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.
