Number 4 reminded me of Brauer technique of mixing. You create return tracks and group all the instrument tracks by their transient information. Usually transients are very important for bass and drums, somewhat important for guitars, and not really important for atmospheric pads, etc. Every return track has a similar chain of compressors, if i remember correctly. Great video per usual! ♥

Yeah originally from the Chapel Hill area!! And congrats man, enjoy the RE20!!

I use the hell out of parallel compression, but that rear bus idea is next level. It's going to come in handy on an upcoming mix. A similar tip for the mastering phase is to duplicate the mixed song and use a transient shaper/compression to "get rid" of all the peaks, leaving only sustained sounds in the duplicate. Mix the "sustain" track up behind the original peaky mixdown. Maybe do gentle eq boosts in the "energy" bands the mix needs. Perceived loudness, detail, "glue" are all affected before you even start the mastering moves that take you to your lufs target.

My next album is going to be so much of an improvement from my last one because of what I’ve learned from this channel that I’m gonna have to split royalties with you.

Man, it feels like music production is the closest thing we have to alchemy in modern times. When I see how producers take the same inputs and make *totally different* things out of it, it's both another level of creativity and just, kind of like you said, it's like Pandora's box. Anything and everything could happen it feels like. I'm yet to take the plunge, haven't bought any gear yet but I'm tempted to try to study this properly and learn it. This kind of information in your recent videos is really giving me a lot more of those tools of the trade to thin about and understand what I might be getting into, so thanks for that! And the more I learn about how the back end of things works, the more I come to appreciate the performers. It just seems like the number of things you can do starting from a good raw take is almost infinite, whereas a less ideal take and input kind of limits what you can do. Anyway, rambling a bit, but I really appreciate your stuff about producing.

I think Mark Linkous just might have used that first technique at times as well, especially thinking of Piano Fire that kind of has that sound. Oh, and I bought a Vibrakill a couple of months ago (might just have been after watching your Phoebe-video), it's ridiculously good! And great video as always man! :)

Wow, as a teen I was always experimenting with my acoustic guitar to get different sounds. As far as back in the 1970s I was placing items under or around the strings to alter their vibration -- rags underneath, or a piece of paper woven across the strings (which gave kind of a banjo sound). Who would have known my crazy ideas would someday be in style??!!

I look forward to more of your videos!

I got that tennis racket string device 4 months ago - legit! good going man!

that demo you showed around 5:00 sounds a lot like grouper. cool stuff

Damn man- I just bought one of those vibrakillers. I LOVE cheap hacks to try. And the other tips you shared are great! I'm blown away Neutral Milk Hotel guitars are acoustic! How did I not know that until now?

Inspiring ideas! Only issue with the rear bus is that when you mute the aux, it generates a noticeable volume drop, and so it always sound better with it. Whereas it is usually just louder. Muting the plugins on the aux, if they are level matched, will show you more of what it is really doing (and sometimes it can add confusion and blurriness because of the over compression and saturation) ✌️.

Hey, dude. So I'm not sure you've covered this, but I have been struggling to mic my amp properly. I have a couple SM57's and a couple condenser mics.

I'm a 90's rock guy so I fluctuate between a fuzzy and and slightly dirty ala The Posies or Soundgarden. Got any videos for that?

Do you have a video on what youre doing to process talking voices? Your stuff has a nice sound, and wanted to know what youre doing.

The rubber bridge mute can be easily and cheaply made out of a hot glue gun stick. Use a dry white board marker on the area of the strings you want the mute to sit, and transfer the ink to the glue stick. Then use a utility knife to cut into the stick to the desired depth and thickness to accommodate the strings.

Fender makes a cool acoustic overdrive that lets you blend the clean and the distorted sound. It's pretty awesome.

mixing is my weak point and I'm learning so much from your content

That bit of guitar at 8:12 suddenly reminded me of the first three His Name Is Alive albums - have you ever heard "Mouth by Mouth" or their 2 previous albums? They're a treasure trove of bizarre indie mixing, both from the artist, and from the label, who had a deal with their early albums where they remixed his songs and ordered them as they liked to release. If you haven't heard, I think you'd love them. Plus, Karin Oliver's voice is amazing.

In the rear bus example, you say the 1176 emulation is just there to catch the transient peaks, but it appears the attack was at its slowest setting. Does the Slate emulation have the same quirk as the original unit (slowest = furthest counter clockwise)? Not sure how much of the peak you’re catching if yes. I think it’d be helpful to do more level match comparisons. It’s hard to hear the real difference when it’s so much louder than the uncompressed signal.

I ran my acoustic-electric through distortion before I owned an electric so I know the sound of distorted acoustics very well! It sounds better when that's not the only tone you can get lol.

The mad man got the Lossy pedal! How does it translate compared to the plug-in? Awesome stuff

@AudioHaze

imo its actually super different!! Idk if its just the control layout prompting me to make different tones but the pedal is much more textural and strong and the plugin feels more like a creative mixing tool, a bit more subtle....if that makes sense

How I get a neutral milk hotel sound.. I don't use a pedal although I imagine for most people that would be the best and easiest way to do it. What I do is I have 2 4 track tape recorders and an 8 track one and I put my acoustic through it and crank the trim knob.

In 1981 I bought my first fostex cassette 4 track. I didn't own an electric guitar or processing pedal's. I had a 1952 martin acoustic. The sound from those distorted guitars were the ones you are trying to replicate. I worked for years to be able to remove that from my songs. No one thought it was good or a genius move. This is upside down world. I say go for it. nothing is off limits in music but I personally don't hear that as a good sound or even a useful sound.

I used that "cut the reverb" effect - in 1979 - the producer did not agree...he was wrong LOL!

Mac DeMarco, Mac DeMarco wants to play a show with tissues sticking out of his guitar

I am wondering very much... The thing with the distorted acoustic guitars... It is exactly what we did in the 90s... We all had pedals and experimented with them as much as possible because we couldn't afford expensive gear and there were no recording studios for us etc. I discovered lots of channels that say "groundbreaking new way of treating your signal... " and it's always that what we did back then 🤔 so much "knowledge" seems to got lost over time and the younger generation is astonished as they "discover" those techniques anew 🤷‍♂️
