What’s really impressive is how amazing the drums end up sounding on this whole album
The de esser trick is pure genius
definitely could have used this trick in the past.
TLA! what a guy! "how you doinnnnn"
Very focused, very intelligent with the toys!
A real Artist TLA 🙏
I love this guy.
oh man I gotta set some time aside to watch this, the man is hilarious and very educational
TLA did a mix of one of my band’s songs that to this day is one of the absolute best rock mixes I’ve ever heard… and it was never released 😫. There was a disagreement with the suits & it got shelved (they still own it though so it will likely stay that way). We’ve worked with a lot of hugely successful mix engineers and his just plain stood out as a perfect powerful rock mix. There were some heated arguments about it. This was several years ago and I’m still thinking about how damn good it was. Anyway, great video!!
I'd love to hear what TLA does with non-major label releases (assuming your band isn't secretly huge and you're just hiding). Dude is a total wizard but I've only heard what he's done with huge bands.
What I love about this, is not just the info....but how it's filmed...it's not STERILE. Like he's sitting here forced to talk to this camera. Where just PRIVY to overhearing a convo between 2 engineers! That makes me want to watch it more! So more of this type of stuff! The secret sauce if you will! Yes I wanna see the screen, and all the moves, but I prefer this type of filming instead! He can talk to you off screen or whatever, not looking directly at us, or whatnot. So basically toss up 4 cameras in the room, direct capture everything he's doing on the computer, also toss up a stereo set of Earthworks SR40's to capture if he plays the track in the room and we HAVE to hear it through the ROOM sound, then do it! Of course you can cut it back to the DIRECT sound, and bleed in the Lapel mic as well. But you guys should do that too....for Filming purposes!
TLA is such a cool guy!
I like how he`s talking about Critter and Atom Willard. Knowing Atom is a beast on the drums, he probs wouldn`t have laid off the hi-hats lol. But great video
Also , it doesn't help the fact that he sets up the damn things 10 feet tall haha Atom is a beast! Great drummer.
critter also passed away in 2012
Before i find my mistake, I read "it's not the gear, it's your car" and i never had been more confused
Same 😄
this dude is a wizard
Look at the snare here.. "how you doinnnn?" lmao
Atom Willard 🔥🔥🔥
Ha, the FF Pro-MB high-end gate before Pro-MB
Where can I see some of his full sessions? How much?
looked like the de-esser opened upp on the snare hit? how come? Won't it clamp down on the snares attack/snapp/smack?
possibly used a sidechain
The irony that I have always held this record up for having some of the best natural rock drum sounds of all time.
I guess it’s good to know that mix engineers are always going to struggle with cymbal bleed regardless of drummer/engineer/studio.
anyone know what hes vaping?
Good thing slate just added a 902 to Virtual mix rack
You guys should see if he can unwrap blink's TOYPJ!
First time I have seen a music production video and he is vaping weed while he is talking.
I thought the 414 room made a huge difference in chorus.Good
Trigger room samples and send them through 2 different presets on a briciasti m7
this man knows the delay settings to the adventure but he wont shareeee
What is he smoking on there? -What is that?
Dear URM, please get rid of the random guy introducing the video segment. We're just here for the one in the thumbnail.
theres a bunch of yahoos no ones heard of before
They've been doing it for years and it's the biggest turn-off. The title is sufficient. I don't need to be convinced to watch a video with TLA. I'm already here. I already clicked on the video ffs.
@@ElMoShApPiNeSs I dont get it myself. Like you said, I clicked on TLA lol.
Oh and I dont care if you just learned how to scream! we can all tell!
As far as I'm aware video intro type thingos help in the algorithm somehow with discoverability. Not saying I like them but I'd assume thats why they are doing intros now.
They need to turn the music up in the intro. his talking is getting in the way of that sweet double kick.
what does he smoke?
Iqos
Jesus… how American is he!
yes.
Why would a band of this calibre be recorded badly? He should try mixing my awful high school recordings
i just looked it up and the most i can find is it may have been tom delonge in his "home studio" and then the tracks were just sent off to be mixed, which could explain poor mic choices/placement
@@lannyfce4786 some of that record was recorded in the Foo Fighters’ Studio 606… which makes it weirder. Probably the engineer’s fault? (RIP, Critter)
I'd say in this case the problem is loud bright hats (very normal in punk bands) some situations that might work here it didn't seem to. Maybe Tom liked that sound when recording it. All personell involved have had great drum sounds so don't think it's a single factor.
@@JimijaymesProductions also, Atom hits the drums like it owes him his kidney, and Zildjian A Customs are notoriously bright in a mix
They went into studio 606 to record all drums in a single session after everything else was finished in Tom’s home studio. There is actually footage online showing this. Atom is really a hard hitter and lots of bright cymbals were used. The hats looked like New Beats to me. Here is a link to one of these recordings (different song but same session): czcams.com/video/RsJWd8zEG5Q/video.html
