Oh so they were a real band. It all seemed like channeling everything down a pre used sound for everything that i thought it was just for the student to learn. There seem very little performance in the performances .

One thing comes to mind here...."The proof is in the pudding"... This formula works on every genre of band folks. Great video HCMS! I think this is the ultimate climax that can and should happen with an online teacher who has been teaching and promoting their techniques. If you have the cash and can get the full stack producer, it's going to fill in the blanks, and be worth every penny if you apply yourself to it. This was a pleasure to watch.

10 days late for a reply... but we all had an absolute blast and learned a lot sitting in with Jordan! If I'm Lucky was also a great band to work with, and all the guys were super friendly.

Why does it feel like I’ve heard this song before? If only there were a name for this feeling. Haha! Great work by everyone here!

Now THAT would be amazing.

It is really amazing to see this channel come from the beginning to now, where the hard work and the vision has come to reality. Its a beautiful synthesis of hard work, planning, dedication and vision. Really inspiring. Thanks for all your hard work.

Sick video! More of these! Great to see the process

This was so great! So much value packed into this mini doc; loved it!

Wow the result is just amazing 👏 These guys are so lucky to learn from one of the best mixers out there.

umm amazing job on the mix Jordan, this made me have flash backs from my studio days. Love this content, would have liked to heard or seen the bands response to the finished mix. That was always my favorite part getting to make the band happy with the results. Excellent Job!!!

Amazing work here all around! Very cool!

Really enjoyed this video. Seemed like a really fun time. Thanks for sharing.

This is so good Jordan, thank you for putting this up! Why am I only seeing this just now?! Amazing stuff wish it was an hour long

Great result, would have been a blast to be there and see it all over the 3 days!

I'm sure it's a lot to produce, but I would watch this every week in a series. It's nice wish fulfillment for those of us who aren't recording in a studio, but wish we were. I realize we're only seeing a small snapshot, and I'm glad you didn't just show the easy parts, but I'm curious what you do to make the band members feel comfortable when they're performing under the microscope. I think you can hear that comfort level in a performance.

WOW please more videos like this

Sounds really good guys! Congrats!

reminds me when i first got the bug to mix/record when my band from 2012 went to the studio and i just couldnt stop asking questions. im glad i did

Well done. I was a HCMS member for a bit but couldn't afford the switch. I love the drums and that bass tone

So much fun to see!

nice video jordan! very inspired

Fantastic video man, thanks so much. Love this stuff, learning tips along the way!

Really fantastic dealing with singers on the scary side of the glass. That is half the battle.

Yeah this was a really cool video definitely different from what you normally release really enjoyed this and the song and mix where dope as well

that drummer was pretty, pretty, pretty good.

@hardcoremusicstudio Unrelated to this excellent video. I have built and equipped well, a small project studio principally for mixing and singer/songwriter type tracking. In the beginning do I give work away to build a catalog of demonstrable capability. Record and feature my own music. What’s the ground zero approach to getting work?

Beautiful! Will this song be included for members to mix?

Awesome!! How the heck can I be a part of something like that!?!?

The rhythm guitars were tracked through the Orange cab (V30's I think?) and a micro amp on the pedal board. The Lead guitars went through Neural DSP. The 5150 I think? And yeah, like @metaldeadman2441 said, the Mig didn't make the cut. It was too clean if I recall correctly, and we couldn't get enough gain out of it on it's own.

So you DiI’d the Bass & Guitars in the Control Room. As a small studio owner that’s how I work, but interesting to see you do that even in a Studio that has a Live room separate from the Control room.

A DI was captured in the control room but we also ran a speaker cable out to the cab in the live room. I can’t recall which made it on to the final track.

Both. Rhythms used the Orange can and an Orange pedal board amp (Orange Terror Stamp I think?) and leads used the Neural DSP with the 5150 model I believe.

As one of the students, I don't believe Jordan ever voicing that opinion, and we were honest with each other-so I don't think your assessment is correct. :) Editing was pretty minimal actually - because Jordan had him play the parts repeatedly until he squeezed the best out of Daxon.

There's just nothing like tracking in a real studio... oh man

I realize this is like a highlights reel of a few days - but I'm curious, on average, how many takes these guys were taking ..? At one point the guitarist plays a higher arpeggio-type riff and breathes out like it took a lot of work, but it looked like he just aced one take .. Asking as I've done production work for a long time, but in a smaller community so "preparedness" always comes into question and I'm curious about normal expectations

@metaldeadman2441

16 күн бұрын

we went through a lot of different iterations on how we wanted that lead played, so there were a lot of takes just figuring out things like which notes should be palm muted, are we pedaling the root note between arpegiations, stuff like that. Once that was decided, it was a few takes to get clean. It’s not a super difficult lead, but it’s not a lead that’s easily broken down into smaller chunks so he had to get the whole part in one clean take so it did take a little bit.

@hardcoremusicstudio

15 күн бұрын

This session followed the same schedule I’ve used for many years - for each song, it’s 2 days for tracking + 1 day for mixing

Is it normal that the mixing engineer is having an impact on the songwriting?

@ChernobylAudio666

16 күн бұрын

Looks like there was an agreement with the band for Jordan to also help with production during the recording, which includes helping fine-tune the songwriting process. So during the recording process, Jordan was being a producer, throwing out ideas to improve the song. Then he mixed it. Pretty normal.

Jordan was playing "Producer" in this case. So, he was the recording engineer, mixing engineer, and producer-helping refine the song.

Recording and mixing is not 'producing'. misleading title.

It literally is, it’s just a highlight reel from the 3 days we spent with him. I’m the original producer, we handed it off to him and he took over for those 3 days, filling what would typically be my role; changing parts, picking source tones, deciding what can be done to level up the song. This is a 20min snapshot of a 36hr process. They filmed quite literally all of it, I’m sure there will be more detailed videos to come.
