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.

Now THAT would be amazing.

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!

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

Amazing work here all around! Very cool!

Sounds so good! Incredible. Thanks!

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.

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!!!

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Cool video! Thanks to all that participated. Looks like Jordan is a fun person to work with in the studio. I sometimes struggle to toe the line between ‘chill’ and giving enough encouragement to get the best performances out of people. The vibe in the recording session matters!

I live close to that studio if you ever do it again I would love to come sit and watch

lovely job

Great video. Thanks

Hope I was there! That was awesome!!!

Nice video cool, to see the whole process over a few days. Not my kinda music but the track was cool too.

Que importante es el trabajo del productor cuando la banda le hace caso , todo funciona perfecto! Es como cuando se contrata al arquitecto para el diseño de la casa soñada!

Wow, I Like this.

that drummer was pretty, pretty, pretty good.

sweet i love it

Great vid!

This isn't a thing you go to school for. YOU LIVE IT!!

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

A series is a great idea because if you only show one band then you start to feel like this sound is the producers sound. Showing multiple bands would help the watcher separate the band’s style from the producer’s talent.

Nice job

I used to freelance at Starke Lake Studios in the early 2000's.

Haha first comment ... Had a similar experience with a producer from my country I learnt a lot

@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?

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.

Was that the LockOn tuner that you had up while recording?

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

a sovtek? Interesting :)

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.

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

Ай 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

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

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.

Bro song please damn sounds cool

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

@ChernobylAudio666

Ай 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.

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.
