I’ve been having fun showcasing some of these picking techniques and general melodic ideas that I’ve been using for the new @loveletterhc LP. Last night I showed a really really simple one this one has far more notes so I thought the contrast might be interesting to see.

Ernie Ball Music Man Bass

Yo! Huge thanks to Ernie Ball for sending over this absolutely stunning Stingray Bass. We are currently collaborating on a super cool project, that I can't talk about just yet, but I think everyone is REALLY going to enjoy. Please excuse my hacky bass licks, I'm only now which means I just play quarter notes with lots of delay.
Pre-Compression Mastering Workflow
Переглядів 31610 місяців тому
I am mastering a couple tracks for Jigsaw Youth and thought I’d walk your through my thought process in regard to the general “shape” I’m going for before I start adding any compression. You’ll notice that I don’t do anything too surgical here as Alan Day did a fantastic job nailing the overall mix and vibe!
I think I just coined the dumbest mixing term of all time.

Thank you
Holy shit yeah
The horns are barely discernible and are indistinguishable from the rhythm instruments in the mix. This does not reflect the musical function of horns.
@@bobscott7127 thanks for the feedback! You should do a video on horns!
Cool story! I've heard Mayday Parade did the same thing, they followed warped tour and just sell their cd's. Incredible passion amarite.
can we talk about that cage amp int he back. only seen two and both in Mass.
Yes, it's a great plug-in. I got it about 6 weeks ago, and now it works with Pro Tools' own ARA system.
Echoboy may be dated but it’s one of THE BEST plugins ever made. I wish Soundtoys would continue with an EchoBoy 2 or something. So useful on so many instruments.
Bauhaus used plexis? He used a HH VS amp. I seriously doubt that Sonic Youth used them either. And The Cure has anything but a plexi sound. So apart from this bullshit with the JMP/JTM everything about the users of the amps is completely off. Who are you trying to fool here?
hey! I have a shoe gaze type song I'm trying to get mix and mastered. what is the best way to contact you? thank you for your time
Yes! Email: jay@jaymaas.com Cc: james@statesidemgmt.com David@statesidemgmt.com
How much was is, and how was the quality?
Does this work on other multi-mic'd stuff like guitar cabs?
Absolutely!
Just realized you had a channel and am all for it! My band Anchorlines recorded with you a LONG LONG time ago, cool to circle back!
Dude that’s so cool you found me! Hope things are well!
Auto Align 2 is great! I do my best to set up for each session. I will track myself before the client arrives and look at what Auto Align reveals. One of two things happens: either the changes are nominal and I leave things as they are or I see something is odd and make an adjustment. Either way by the time the client is listening to playback the drums sound huge.
Do the tom mics align with the snare still or to the overheads?
Typically for Auto Align 2, you would select the snare as the KEY, thus toms and the other tracks within the group will align.
@@Shred_Rocket Exactly, so the tom tracks' snare bleed will align to the snare mic then.
ok its not level matched, but when you gain match it for yourself you can hear how organized the lower-mid stuff sounds when the Manley is on! very nice!
i was turned onto this a year or two ago. complete game changer. one question: what happens with the polarity flip on the bottom snare mic?
first time watching your channel. great succinct info, subbed
Pale Moon Ranch! Tracked drums for our last single there. Great studio 🖤
It’s amazing! We did all the drums for the new Love Letter there as well :)
IYKYK
Sound Radix for the win
For me, the biggest bang for the buck is aligning the overheads to the snare top. I do that manually, as auto align is very expensive.
MAuto Align is on sale for $32. I have gotten some good results from this one. Definitely faster than manual.
Great Vid Sir. How this compares to Melda's MAutoAlign?
This
How did you get Autoalign 2 to show up under extensions in Nuendo. For some reason mine is t there.
Your video is slightly out sync with the audio, the irony! (Unless it's my PC)
The talking head parts or the screen cap? I’ve been using something in adobe Premier beta to clean up the voice audio, but I’ve been wondering if it is causing some syncing issues
@@JayMaasRecording Talking head bits, ever so slightly. Great work on the video though, I look forward to seeing more!
TLA does it manually and uses the top snare as the main track to align to. For me, if I align all mics I loose depth. So only if the mic placement, especially if the rooms are skewed, then I will bring them to a more coherent alignment. But I prefer not to.
Hey Jay, I use autoalign myself, but I always have this doubt.... Do you do Autoalign before or after comping and quantizing?
I think it depends on what type of quantizing. I typically don’t mess with any quantizing that uses warp or stretching, so therefore, I feel confident correcting phase as my first step But if I was reliant on stretching the audio, I would definitely do that. 1st consolidate my wave forms into new forms and THEN run auto align 2.
Tip: redo this after doing EQ etc, to adjust for the phase differences introduced by the EQ itself.
I have tried doing this, interestingly I do sense that some of the colour certain eq's introduce is slightly less noticeable. So I try not to do this if not necessary.
Honestly, I think sometimes I feel insecure like I'm not doing enough as an engineer but the tools we have today just makes this stuff so easy.
Absolutely. And to your point I think engineering was actually much simpler when everything was in the analog domain then during the initial switch of digital all of these crazy plug-ins came out and I think people started feeling like they needed to do SOMETHING to EVERYTHING. Nice to see things simplify a little
@@JayMaasRecording 100%. I think that's one of the biggest benefits I've received from taking courses like yours, is seeing how little needs to be done to well performed, well engineered tracks. I think unfortunately a lot of us cut our teeth working with less than stellar performances and it's so difficult trying to learn and troubleshoot like that. Kudos for sharing the knowledge Jay!!
also sound radix pi is good for basses or any other unison layered instruments our doubles that suffer from phase cancellation
always prefer to do that manually. or using inphase to have a set of different snapshots for room mics etc. sometimes it really works to delay the room mics. the best workflow for me so far is to bring the close mics with the OH, and then align the room mics to some position which supports the snare and hopefully a kick. works like a charm every time
The amount of free education we get today from top engineers themselves is craaaaaaazy! Thanks so much Jay! Really appreciate what you do.
Hey man! Great video! Just a quick question I use Auto-Align (version 1) as well on my drums and I've noticed that I need to put it at the end of each plugin chain, because some plugins will give the track some delay. What that means is that using Auto-Align first just doesn't seem to work because the phase might change after I start putting plugins on the tracks. It happens a lot with Fab Filter plugins, but I've also experienced some delay with SoundToys and UAD plugins. Does this happen to you?
This is actually a great point and it will definitely be important to use the natural and linear phase modes with fab filter. Cubase it pretty great with latency compensation provided the plugins are reporting back to the host correctly so I haven’t had trouble personally!
Nice video, but do less of talking next time
old resistors and capacitor change value and the sound change. This is the reason why the sound is not the same
Hey Jay. Do you guys plan on adding any more sessions to Fast Track Academy? I found that working with real stems and following along was huge for me in leveling up. Another MAGS song would be so cool!
Yes and soooon!
Hey, We Interested in a Collab with you? Let us know how to connect!
Somehow.....you made all of these beautiful amps sound like shit
It’s a gift
@@JayMaasRecording Also the click track...please refrain from posting anything ever agian .....ever..Thanks
what saturation plug in should i buy with my hard earned money!? got the 30 day demo of soundtoys right now and love it. but is there as good or better for cheaper? thanks homie! loved this vid. messed with my guitars a bit this morning and these tips helped. i don:t have soothe and i play fuzzy guitars. help me out
I love fab filter stuff so you can’t go wrong with Saturn 2. But Decapitator from ST is great you just might want to high pass after as it has a tendency to create a little sub rumble
@@JayMaasRecording thanks Jay! Have a rad night!
Yes, I do the same. Color plugins behave like they are designed to when you correct first. 👍
This approach basically fixes the things I don't like about pultec style EQs. Love it dude!
Sure does! Now you can use those sweet sweet curves without all the irritants
Notchy by nature lol. I liked that saturation. Heavy handed in a nice way for the mix
Great info man!
Thank you!!
Can't agree more with the approach of using multiple plugins less aggressively for correction (soothe -> Pro-Q3 with Dynamic EQ)! I've had much better results doing it that way than either of those on their own.
Cool .. desk. Desk Good. (y)
Looks great!
Dewd… the clearance you have left on the sides of your desk to the walls gave me the chills! Is that weird?
You and me both!
Excited to get in there and check it out!
I was just scammed. My card# was stolen and used online. I only used this card at Premex gas station at Cancun Airpot. Don’t let your card out of sight.
This is best tutorial out there!
Awesome tips. Thank you. I usually struggle with that issue on acoustic rock tracks (go figure). Would you mind sharing the setting of the Vari Mu?
Just medium attack and release!
@@JayMaasRecording thank you very much. I really appreciate it.
@@JayMaasRecording Hey Jay. Coming back just to say, I got the Pulsar MU yesterday to try this and it worked flawlessly. I liked it so much I eventually tried it on the Drum Bus, where the issues were happening, and it blew me away. Thank you again.
