    Is the "room" dial on the amp sims just moving the mic back, or are they maybe blending in another room impulse? Dark/Bright seems to be moving from speaker edge to cap so it would make sense that the room dial is moving the mic back but it sounds much more roomy when dialed all the way up while still hearing the cab nice and clear.

At first, I was going to complain that I'm deaf and I shouldn't do any music production anymore, but I think I better ask: Dan, how do I train my ears for these things?

  • @DanWorrall

    @DanWorrall

    Жыл бұрын

    There are two ways to create stereo width: level differences, or phase differences. An unlinked compressor might mess up the former, but might enhance the latter. The hard panned guitars create a pseudo stereo image, based on phase difference primarily. The mix as a whole uses a mixture of phase and level differences to create width. I tend to prioritise a sense of space over pinpoint precise placing of parts within the stereo image (depending on the mix) so I'm more likely to unlink my bus compression than link it. It's a matter of taste though, there's no right or wrong. Also it's only doing about 1 dB of gain reduction, and the left / right gain reduction is highly correlated anyway, so the difference in gain between the two channels is never going to be very large.

In electronics the two sources have to be completely coherent for phase difference to have validity, which two performance of the same guitar part no matter how good the player cannot be, so the phase relationship between the two parts is completely chaotic , they simply have minor timing differences which is not the same thing.

    9:30 Interesting, I can hear a definite "narrowing" of the guitars on headphones, but to me, it sounds more like they go from separate parts being played either side of my ears, to more cohesive parts about level with my ears. So still wide, just not as wide.

  • @boyman7823

    Well binaural listening causes the left/right channels to be isolated to each ear while in real life no sound will ever just reach a single ear and not the other. So subtle "narrowing" like this can ironically make a mix feel even more three dimensional on headphones. I remember experimenting with very little haas delay and 6dB/oct low pass filters on only one side to simulate a stereo speaker/room experience for guitar parts. An example would be taking a single guitar recording panning it %30 to one side, putting around a 10 milisecond delay and a low pass at 6khz to the opposite side. You will notice that it will almost sound hardpanned to the side the channel is panned to. It can sound good but is honestly high risk - low reward. Haas delays DRASTICALLY change the percieved position of the sound and are very sensitive to small changes. Bass, drums and vocals become harder to separate because of that but mono compatibility is suprisingly not a big problem as long as you pan them above around %20 in a direction.

    You guys beat me to all the correct answers. Yes it's a gate not a compressor. And lookahead compensates the attack, which is itself faster than it looks: the control is scaled to give you very fine control where you need it most, with very fast settings. There are a few notes that don't fully open the gate. But the 'guitar' style in Pro-G is very forgiving, and with the amp distortion you don't really notice. I dialed it in with the amp in place, didn't spot that at all till I bypassed it to make the video.

    I find that most of the "box tone" of plugs like the Puigchild comes from the subtle hiss they add. Adding in white noise buried deep in the mix is an old trick to make very clean mixes sound denser and fuller and "more analog" and that's basically what that bottom switch on the 670 does. But when you pause playback it can get mighty annoying to listen to!

    thanks for your nice technical input , but to my taste as a guitar tone chaser , not a cork sniffer actually, this is too much talking about a sterile guitar sound... the sound doesn't behave like my subjective "real amp response idea"... could you point me into an actual guitar track with a real tube amp... because your insights are absolutely spectacular, I'm learning a lot about where to look and use knowledge before moving knobs and switches to see those colorful lights go on and off... got the chops, strings and amps but my recording skills are simply horrible...! thanks in advance.

    This is an actual guitar track, what did you think I was playing? I don't record my valve amp these days because it's too loud and it kills my ears for the rest of the day. And I can get equally good results from amp sims IMO. But if you can find a guitar tone anywhere in my musical output that ticks your boxes better, let me know and perhaps I can do a similar breakdown.

    @@DanWorrall a guitar it is, thats not the point, the loss of natural attack dynamics printed with your hands and pick, the relationship between attack-release and the harmonic response is from a plug in , an amp behaves and breath in a different way , that was the point , a plugin response tends to kill the player nuances... volume dynamics are in the hands , same with ghost notes that a compressed signal from a distortion plugin tends to heavily dehumanise ... more player and less overkill with plug ins. I enjoyed your guitar parts, plus your insights on recording are spectacular, in no way I'm trying to imply any negative criticism on your fenomenal work, if there is anything for me to say, Mr, Worrall I respect your sharing on details that i would have never imagined by myself. loud amps are a drag, and ruins your day, I clearly understand that. no affense Dan. ! and thanks for your input in every YT video you upload.

    cool video. true mixing porn :) however i got one question: why do you care about mono compatibility in your music? if this question sounds weird to you: your music doesn't sound like it was made for clubs and it also doesn't appear like something people would listen to on cheap mono kitchen radios or phones. so why would it matter that your stereo signal also works in mono?

    I may not have phrased that as well as I could. With the EQ in there's less sense of two separate hard panned parts. Which I guess you could describe as a narrowing of the mix. Perhaps better phrasing: the MS EQ turns the two separate guitars into one unified stereo riff. One, wide but focused part, instead of two identifiably separate parts.

    Surprised by this endorsement of Waves. You are amongst the most respected voices in the industry and some young folk will take it as approval of what many of us consider to be a shockingly unethical company. As you said in your excellent Waves post 'we are free to choose' - I'm personally just disappointed at your choice I guess, as I also have always regarded your opinion highly. Do you maybe have new info on a change in Waves business model that I've missed which makes them endorsable, in your opinion, or are you contractually obliged to advertise their products - and therefore not free to choose? In short: Why support Waves Dan? People will listen to you whatever you say.

In my world, changing the meaning of the word 'perpetual' in a legal agreement, after the fact, is covered in that. I wasn't saying you should find it unethical though - although I had thought that you had registered that many of us very much do. Are you saying you are fine with their corporate behaviour?

    @@DanWorrall My personal opinion is that failing to take an unethical stance solely due to external pressure is not the same as being ethical. Also, the individual licences don't appear to me to be perpetual either, as after a year, I have found that they start crashing. I have heard many others say the same thing. I bought nearly all my Waves plugins at the same time and they did not crash during the first year, yet they are listed as the cause of most crashes.
