Josh is a prime example of how much work self-employed folks have to put in order to not have a job. As a musical noob I thought the work was merely thousands of hours of practice to play all the right notes ,but I guess that only gets you half way there, which makes me twice as appreciative of all of Josh's videos.

Yeah, there's just no end to it, and the amount of stuff he knows for his age.. I just stand in awe.

To all those folks that are saying “…thought you were taking a break?”. He said in the break announcement that there was a least one more video coming. Do try to keep up! 😇 You don’t just sit down one afternoon and knock out these videos in a couple of hours; the quality of Josh’s videos take some time to create, including Kelly’s awesome video work! Thanks Josh, bookmarking this video for many rewatches!!!

I’ve always been amazed at the recording quality you get, especially with that Zoom recorder! This was a great insight to your technique.

Josh and Carson should have lifetime sponsorship from them for sure for all the sales they've likely inspired.

I’ve been envious of your recorded acoustic guitar tone for a long time. Loved this. More ‘In the box’ tutorials alongside the usual content would be amazing!

Technical skills on the guitar, recording engineer skills, vocals, arrangements, and musicianship -- the entire package!

Josh, please, please make more videos like this. Your covers and originals are my favorite thing on KZread, but this is also just great.

3:22 I think the reason they played much louder in the past is because the noise floor of tape was so much higher than that of digital recording. So playing softly means that when you add extra gain in the mix the noise floor comes up significantly as well.

Definitely! There was a real “if you want it louder, hit it harder” approach back then

Wonderful thank you for taking the time to share this you are a true gem and one of a kind.

Josh, I love this video!!! Thank you so much! I'm always amazed by the quality of your audio (and videos) and I've always wondered how you do it. More of these videos please!!

Love content like this, your production is always something I’ve admired about your work

Very cool! I love the results, and it's really something to see how the butter is churned!

Love your attention to detail in recording acoustic guitar tones, sounds so fine in all your recordings. Within the next few years plan to record an album and definitely want this awesome acoustic guitar tones you get, thanks for sharing all your recording tips.

Great video. Thank you for sharing this. Your recordings always sound amazing!!

This is fascinating. What an excellent video. I have often wondered how you mix and process your recordings. Thanks for the peek. More videos like this would be excellent. And, of course, all the fantastic music videos.

Wow, now I appreciate your work and sharing on YT even more. Impressive skills not only on guitar but also producing. You're a legend Josh!

THIS was a ton o' fun Josh. Thanks so much and have a relaxing respite.

awesome and useful video! great to have this type of content coming from you josh! would love to see more 🙌

Utterly fascinating !! I've been following since your 1st youtube videos as a teenager, and wondered where this career would go. You go man ,, you go !! All the very best !!

Please do more content like this! What a great video!

great video! love the humor involved! there really has never been a time that you could not get vintage acoustic tones!

As a total non-musician this is fascinating. The amazing sound Josh pulls off recording in the middle of a park or on a street corner is beginning to become clear to me now…. My impression he must either know magic or have the world’s most singularly expensive microphone was perhaps, uhm, overly simplistic. It’s just that his genius and scope of expertise are broader than I recognized. I’m obviously not the intended audience for this one, and some of what he said may as well have been in Aramaic to me, but it was cool to see some of the back end and fun to try to listen for the differences. It’s a window into a different perception of sound and music. Josh, if you happen to read this - many thanks for posting this video!

It's one of the thing my non-musician friends are usually surprised about. Unprocessed recording sounds nothing like the songs they heard on spotify and most musicians have a bit of know how in audio engineering, which just come with the job. After all, if a performance isn't recorded then it doesn't "exist" (to be heard again by others).

Yes. Even in the middle of the park! this guy....

Super interesting video thank you! Looking forward to when you get back but don't rush and enjoy the break.

I think I've watched this 10 times by now what a resource this is. Thank you for doing this. I'd love to see your process for electric guitar that would be awesome!!

One of the most useful tone videos I’ve ever seen. Thank you!

Yes please share more of your wisdom! Your video about nick drake's guitar tone was also really helpful. I find modern acoustic guitar recordings sometimes even grading to listen to, but you always get the tone just right.

Thanks again for continually working on quality content for us to learn and enjoy

Such a great watch. I actually think you nailed it 👏

Awesome Josh. You are awesome dude.

Amazing video - easy to digest, and super helpful. Good concepts to keep in mind down the road. Thanks for this!

Excellent! Please keep doing these!

Incredible teaching. Thanks Josh. Learned a lot here.

Really dig your video and delivery style. Cheers brother.

LOVE this video! Please do more recording and mixing tips!

This was amazing! More like this!!

Felt like even as a beginner, i could follow along to this. Would be amazing to get more insight into your process Josh. Loved the video, thank you!

That's so convincing! Great work!

Hope you're enjoying time off Josh. I know nearly nothing about guitars and sound production, and I enjoyed this so much.

Awesome Josh!!

When you applied the 1Khz cut it tickled my ears in such a good way! I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and was transported back to 1970 (12 years before I was born). The tone you created with some *gentle* digital massage was so warm and comforting and it just hits that je ne sais quoi. It scratches the musical itch. Thwack on!

Super!!! The process of doubling guitars rocks!!!

Nice!!! Reminds me of myself in my early recordings doing these experiments endlessly with different/old strings/rental mics/positioning/plugins.. Very nice video!

That was brilliant Josh. Thanks.

This is prime content. Thank you and well done

Thank You, I needed this!

The best video I have watched in a while. Do more!

This was educational and FUN AS HELL! Thanks Josh!

Fantastic video 👍

Really digging these engineering videos. Super helpful

That was a lovely Sunday coffee video, plus informative as usual. Thanks, Josh

Incredible video ! THANK YOU !!!

Great video, subscribed!

OMG. I never cataloged those subtle differences before. I graduated high school in 1972 and you're giving me flashbacks ! ❤️

Very useful video, thank you!

You bring me joy

I love you josh, you inspires me thanks a lot

So first i see your second arrangement cover and now this? Your channel is awesome!

I'm 76. I used a Vox AC 30 and a Gibson SG Junior (it only had one pickup) and I got a wahwah pedal (still have it- still have them all except the SG that fell and broke in the Marshall shop in Hanwell, London in the mid 60s) and I was rocking with my mates in the local community centre around Greenford and Ealing. Progress has left me behind over the horizon. I have been enjoying Josh music for years, and had no idea of the science behind what he did. Josh guitar music was all I thought - though, to be fair, I think that is what I am meant to think, just hear the music. Great work Josh, Reina, Toni and the others. Amazing work and dedication to the craft of making music.

Amazing Josh! I think this could be a Series of videos with different tones and/or guitars! Cheers

Brilliant video!

So cool thanks for posting this 😊👍👍👍👍👍

Saving this. It's exactly what I was looking for.

I've been wanting to record some thwack of yore recently, so this came at just the right time. Thanks for your wisdom, Mr. Turner.

Very interesting and entertainly Josh. Makes me want to dig out my Teac A2300S!

Love this. Thank you.

Very cool, thanks so much!

That’s very interesting. Thanks for the insight.

Can you make this a series? That 90s Sting sound needs representation

Valhalla Verbs and J37, can't go wrong with those. Great video man!

Terrific video. I could not hear much difference A/B with each added effect, BUT the A/B of the start to the finish was great. And then the two guitars really made it.

youtube gold. Thank you, Josh!

Thanks a lot Josh !

Accurate video, especially about the dead strings...a must for that 60's/70's sound!

The additive effect of small subtle changes makes so much difference. Thwack on!

I know these don't get as many views as covers but these videos have been immeasurably helpful.

so much knowledge! for free! thank you very much

Love this video

Wow, I always admired the sound of your recordings. Now I know why. Wery interesting.

It's interesting, fast and friggin funny... Great work Josh!

Really usefull and interesting Thanks a lot!

I've been looking for someone who understood this, the thwack, for yars and years! God, thank you.

I've always loved playing guitar in smaller rooms with the ceiling fan on high. It gives you a little of that tape flutter-esque warble but live in the room

This was awesome. Also, Josh is freaking hilarious.

I love the thwack of yore! Being as I was born in 1972, and started recording as a young kid on casette tapes when I was not yet 10.. how far has home recording come! Its come so far that the term home recording seems silly now.. in the right hands its all pro level recording, and it can be done anywhere, and you, Josh, do it very well!

Nice twisting of the virtual knobs!

great Video, wish you a nice weekend

Awesome!

thanks josh

Awesome vid

Awesome. This exactly where my ears lead me when mixing guitars too, usually go for J37 or Tape Mello-Fi depending 🔥

This was fun! Super interesting, too. I thought you were on break, but glad you made this video! First pass listen on just laptop speakers (M1 MacBook Pro) the phasing that comes from the two different mics is 99% of the good stuff. You could really forget the rest and it sounds awesome! (Maybe an SSL buss compressor on the entire mix when you're done?) I wonder how many people these days know the power of two mics on a guitar? This is a fantasic demonstration of that technique. A hint for viewers -- a ribbon mic plus a Shure 57 creates magic just like this for electirc guitar cabinets, too!

You're a mad genius man.. A maaaaad genius

Thanks, Josh.

Great stuff! Love the playing tips and that you included processing techniques! Would love more of this. Maybe how to get a more finger strum/picked muted sound. Not so bright and vintage, but still clean. Im thinking some of Gregory Alan Isakov or alexi Murdochs sound. Thanks for the great info! 👍🏻

Great video... and hat.

Great. Thank you!!!

You nailed it nailed it nailed it. I wanted to get a time machine so I could go to 1978 and buy this album! Also, I learned so much during your DAW session that technicians were never able to explain to me. (f.i. what pre delay does on a reverb.) Much to be said for a technically inclined musician pointing these things out. It's all MUSIC, including the mixing and EQing and compressing and reverbing. Sounds like these disciplines didn't always use to be as separated as they are today.

“…90s Sting. It’s not the vibe.” 😂 And how’s that recording break going? 🤣 Seriously, I love these recording geek out videos. So much art _and_ science to getting that perfect sound. That subtle reverb and chunky recording tape effect is just awesome. We hear the results, but we almost never get to see all that goes into it. I grew up on that vintage acoustic “thwack of yore” and I just love it! Thank you! 😃

Thanks for couching all that information between your tongue and your cheek. I really enjoyed it.

Very useful

You Sir, are a legend. I mean, in 19 different ways, but this way was right in my happiness wheelhouse. 8) We await the opening of the new channel too - "ProTools vintage ASMR with Josh". I haven't listened so closely to a youtube video for some time. Glad I did! Now I'm going to harang my metal-head friends with it so they can sound more like my favorite acoustic outtake of Tangled Up in Blue and less like an angry silicon diode.
