„U only have to gate‘ur drums if there are problems with it…“

New awareness unlocked.

Thank you so much for this subclause. Really! I really do appreciate your content and I will support. Keep on, even though there are toxic customers or less vids in stock. Great work, I am learning so much.

I really like the recent content of your‘s. :) And of what my perspective is: I really want to see in depth videos on recording/mixing/mastering, and sadly there aren’t really as many informative videos out there.

For example: The long video interview about oversampling was really cool, I learned so much. Whereas many other YouTube videos (in general) talk about topics more in a less educational way and barely scratch the surface ever. I understand that they want to appeal to an audience who is just starting out but I get the feeling almost every channel does that.

So yeah, Tldr: Cool stuff, get nerdy! I would literally sit here and watch a 4 hour video about different attack curves for snare compression or something. I like learning in depth!

Great vid. The thing about drums is the recording process. I tried to use multitracks I got online to learn; thinking that was the key to great sounding drums. Took me a while to realise that's (almost) the easy bit. The real work is the drum tuning, the sound of the room, phase, mic placement and the drummer. And working with friends bands who are doing this for love and not money, multitracks can't prepare you for mixing less that brilliantly sounding drums in a weird room. 😂

Really loved how you kept the tightness of the sound, not wanting to overcook things but felt the spirit of what you were working with. That said, there are (like you mentioned) so many interesting avenues to dive into, some parallel distortion, modulation FX and so, would be interesting from a more 'artistic' point of view on how you approach this.

the modules are not fastened in the console to allow for some wiggle room

These mixing vids are so much fun to watch, especially drums they are the most satisfying instrument to mix!

[chrisglen]

This was excellent. Great to watch/hear you dial in settings and talk about workflow. Awesome.

[mmx]

you are inspiring me and you're making good content, I can tell you that. I think it's very responsible in regards of your community to justify certain things but keep in mind we're talking about YOUR channel, and only YOU will decide what to do with it. people will never listen anyway. don't ever forget it <3

You earned a subscriber purely for the notion about: drummers need to "mix" themselves in the studio"... Im a drummer/studio tech and this is my mantra that I TRY to teach drummers I meet. Its the difference between a good drummer and a GREAT studio drummer.. its that simple.

nb: the actual snares.. the snare wires are a GOOD thing in the mix.. its often what will make it natural with some snare buzz

[User-g]

Please please please keep doing these kinds of videos. I think seeing the actual workflow of a professional would improve the music more than any plugin ever will

[Studiomix]

Joseph is an amazing producer, saw him on an other video and he’s a very inspiring guy 👌🏼

[PurpleMusicProductions]

Wow this was fantastic! I appreciated watching your process and hope you make more of these. I could tell you were having fun as it is interesting to see the new direction of the channel. You appear to be happier displaying your craft on YouTube which in itself can be a soul suck. Oddly I preferred the drums without the tape machine although I could see that working for more of a vintage vibe song. From my observation the drums were so well recorded to begin with and probably hit a tape machine at some point in the process so more is not needed possibly.

36:20 - I had fun watching it, it was really useful! More please. 👍

Moses is the Einstein of Drum Recording and Mixing!!!! The Wurst Mic, the Snareo and Droom are Crazy 🤩🤩🤯

[iengineer_]

I run across your stuff time to time keep helping man forget the comments that are negative!!!!

[peterheinen]

Grettings from a live yet e-kit drummer. Elysia also has a plugin called elysia phil's cascade. It is awesome, but yes, don't compress to much.❤❤

[degani.guilherme]

great content, man! as always!
a video on bus compression on the whole kit would be awesome!
cheers from Brazil!

[mr-izcx]

Incredible detail. I would love to get your perspective with electronic drums. Just a standard such as 808 or 909. Nothing fancy, but you using knowledge and fancy equipment. That would be really interesting to me ✌️ ..just samples, not the drum machines 😊

[weedywet]

Back when everyone just recorded drums with a bass drum mic and a single overhead, in order to be a successful recording drummer one HAD to have a good internal kit balance that translated well into that single mic. That unfortunately these days is rare. the really great drummers still sound balanced in the room, and on one mic.

Your community is getting older with you, and to say the less : Your videos are very entertaining. Keep this kind of videos up if you wanna see white headed fans !
