This happens in Nashville studios more than you think

Two electric players on this session. Check out our rigs. Is this a problem, or does it actually help the final mix? Let's discuss! Also, we're probably a week or two from the launch of my first course. Thanks for watching!

I love the live stuff too. When all the musicians are playing at the same time, the chemistry can be magical.

[careyvinzant]

I've completely changed my mindset about this over the last few years. I used to dial in complex sounds and try to figure out how to make them work live. Now my attitude is that a good live sound is a good sound: simple, clear, elegant. My rig these days is two delays, a phaser, and a (hot!) clean boost straight into a power amp driving a small cab. (I gig with a Weber 1x10.) It sounds great live and is ridiculously easy to record and mix.

I’m a mixing engineer. You pretty much nailed it. If a band wants to do an “unedited” live off the floor song, then great. Assuming they can pull it off. (Not a problem in your world of course.)
Otherwise, don’t expect your mixer to work pop miracles without replacing stuff, including the performances themselves at times. I’ve had to do that plenty.

[tumbleweedtumbleweed]

It’s important to be a good leader. As a bassist I always sell myself as a good follower.

Hi Mr. Ostrander. First time viewer here. Thanks for the peak inside the studio. Not that it matters or is at all necessary of course but in case you were wondering about ways of retaining new viewers, I for one am a microphone nut. I absolutely _LOVE_ to get inside peaks on how sessions like these are miking up guitar, pedal steel and bass cabs, drums and rooms. Just figured I'd throw that out there. Cheers!

The UAOX BOX changed my life and completely changed how I record electric guitars. I don’t really know how I got by without it for these past 4 decades in the recording world.

Another scenario that happened to me regarding mic bleed issues: One session was tracked in the Key of Eb - and sounded amazing, but was ultimately too high for the vocalist. We ended up down to the Key of C - and the bleed in the drum mix clashed harmonically with the new key. Up against a deadline, the engineer ended up subbing the drums with triggered samples and had to recreate the room mics. (The drummer was unavailable to recut.) Just another issue of live mics, and this was not a pop song. Great content as always!

Was just talking about this with some players in church - we’re here to complete one another, not compete with one another.

[chrislink]

love seeing these recording session setups! very cool, thanks for sharing.

[musekic]

Raging with jealousy right now - love the setup, love the gear.

[stevesnuffer]

Definitely have been thinking about the OxBox and your course as well, as I think would be a great addition to my current studies!! Great content Brother 🤟🎶

[barefootnblues]

Glad you're back Justin! Reading through the comments about the Oxbox conditions. There is a major legal difference between a sweepstakes and a raffle. Unless I am totally out of my isolation box, Justin describing a raffle and the price of a ticket is membership and one lucky member will win. No harm no foul. Peace to all and let's enjoy this.

great live album...Rod Piazza and The Mighty Flyers - Live at BB Kings Blues club on Beale street... with Alex Schultz on guitar, Bill Stuve on Bass, Jimi Bott on drums, and Honey Piazza on piano and of course Rod Piazza on harmonica aka Mississippi saxophone. 1994 on Big Mo Records. enjoy...

[jamiebowles]

RCA Studio B was too small NOT to have bleed. They learned to make it help instead of hurt.
Bleed is detrimental only when out of phase signals combine subtractively... move one of two mics a good bit, the bleed combines additively thus it becomes beneficial.
(I ALWAYS do this with multiple mic'ing drums.)

[stefanarvidsson]

Best version of myself, everything serves the vocals. 99.9 percent of all musicians has a lot to learn from you. Thanks for your great content and wisdom 👍🤘🎸 The perspective of serving the song is very rare here on youtube where guitar tone is so much in focus. You see it as one part of many that together should make a good song. Love it ❤

[jergreen]

Thanks for the video Justin, I'm super excited for your course!!
The beano album famously had bleed issues. Clapton had that bluesbreaker absolutely cranked

[theleviathan]

I injured myself building an amp fort for my little studio. And I was trying to remember which drum stool that you liked because I need something better to sit on. Asked and answered, I just ordered one. So thanks for that as well. Let’s see so far you’ve inspired my 335 purchase, my Princeton, the Buss pedal and now the drum thrown. You’re improving my setup and the economy 😉

[jwright]

Quick suggestion about your foam cab "fort". Place a heavy, weighted blanket over the foam structure. It drops another 3db.

[WhiteWolfEFX]

First time to comment, but I have to say I love this video. On 2 fronts. I love the bleed over and make it feel like a more band vibe, but what I really want to get to is what you where saying about letting another guitar player inspire you and not compete with them is so crucial. I got the privilege to do a session with Cindy cashdollar years ago and it was pretty intimidating, but I had my parts and played to the record and let her inspire me even tonally and I still love listening to that record. But it carry's over to live gigs to, when you open up for bands that have guys like John Carroll or Chris Skrobot (pat green) you want to show them you're on there level, but if you just do what you do and play your parts for the songs they always respect you more than if you just go shred to show off. It took me a long time to get this . Wish I would have learned it much sooner

[bedroomrockstudios]

Great note about Jimmy Page, one of the most creative in the studio, not to mention the playing styles. Eddie VH bleed over and had that live room feel to make the records iconic. Thanks for the excellent pro insights.
