Rick's expression 6:07 , when the engineer is explaining the rack equipment. You better not mess up! 😎
Exactly what I was thinking lool, Ricks eyes look like they're holding a gun to GL'S head haha
I was thinking the same! When you say midrange what do you mean exactly? 👀 490 and 470Hz 😰
Solid death glare for that poor fella's whole contribution
Would love to see much more mixing videos on this channel, like you did on your main 5-6 years ago.
100% agreed; those are my fav of Rick's videos!
Yes!!
His channel was a true hidden gem back then.
Thank you for wrangling your friend in by making him explain the WHY! Great video as usual.
Thank you for showing us the sound of 25 years ago.
When you get Tom to explain the reasoning behind the decisions, that is so extra helpful, great way of lifting up these videos so it doesn't have so much calculus trigonometry class vibes.
Rick please make more content like this. This is my favourite type of content from your channel. I know it may be a bit niche but this is killer. Keep up the great content
I love how Rick is looking at the engineer as he is explaining things @ 6:56. It's the exact same look I give to my audio students when they're explaining something to others. That I'm ready to jump in if one little thing is incorrect or needs clarity look lol. A great teacher and musician.
What a stunningly useful video, Rick! Whenever GL was falling into the common “a little bit of this and that, let’s move on” thing, the fact that you stopped to go deeper is where the gold really lies. Great job to both of course. And Greg!
Rick was giving a death stare😂
We’re seeing Rick the taskmaster, but god damn, it made this a 100% more useful video than if he let GL just yadda yadda over the details!!
@@three3fitty573 Giving him the eagle eyes the whole time during the preamp part 😅
Cool! Looking forward to more recording tutorials from Rick. I've been recording for several years but always have LOTS to learn!
The interaction of each individual involved colors the sound and the songs in a never ending churn, Rick is the personification of Art, as he demonstrates here without demonstration.
Please Rick, please please please make more videos like this!
Hey Rick Yes more recording videos please
Thanks a bunch Rick & GL. This is a gold mine of a drum mixing tutorial. Crisp, clean and straight to the point. Thanks again.
I agree with many others, it‘s great to see you getting back into the control room. More videos on production techniques, recording and mixing would be appreciated.
Love the mixing context especially from someone with Rick's credentials and not trying to sell me the latest plugin or gear.
The sound of the drums in the room IS the sound of the drums. Love this so much.
More of this please. Just taking the time to explain the little details and show behind the curtain is so appreciated. Well done - thank ya much!
Yes. I want to see more content like this. Rick talks very little about the technical side of his producer career. Would be nice to see Rick mixing stuff as well. Thanks for everything you do for the music Rick
Thanks from a weekend warrior who employs a lot of the same techniques displayed here but can't always tell you WHY. It just seems to sound good. Love the educational stuff which helps me learn, reinforce or in some cases reconsider!
Fantastic! Like others have expressed, more of these mixing/tracking videos would be hugely appreciated! Love em'...!!!!
I absolutely love a live room for drums! Concrete floor with concrete walls equals 💥!!!!!
This is a great video. Explaining reasons for choices
Very helpful. Those small tweaks collectively make a huge difference. For sure please do more
I still have the modern drummer from 1983 Alex Van Halen issue with greg's picture in an ad and he slightly bald. Yes He had hair work, and it lists him playing for the maynard ferguson jazz band. Then I remember him joining Dave's band and being like Wow that's the same dude!! He was a hell of a player then and he still one monster on the drums today!!
As a long time drummer, I love this sort of content, Rick. More please! :)
i really love how the room mics are what brought the kit to life. that was quite amazing to experience. the kit sounded good before but once the room mics were involved we were THERE
The rooms sound amazing with or without compression Thanks! I enjoyed that
I would love to see the same video on guitar tones: How to mic a cab, what speakers to use, how to dial in the amp, EQ and compression (probably in the box as most of us don’t have outboard, how many mics, condensers versus dynamic, what pickups / guitar etc
Please make more videos of this type. I’ve recently starting taking mixing:mastering courses online and this is so incredibly helpful. 😊
Just started at an audio school, learning how to record, mix, and everything else. This video was fascinating. Thank you Rick.

Fantastic! More of this would incredible - thankyou
YESSSSSSSS I'm so happy y'all made this! Absolutely *loved* the drum sound on the video with Gregg, so getting to peek behind the mixing curtains is awesome. Would LOVE to see more mixing vids!
5:50 lol rick hanging over that rack like a vampire , hammer horror-esque great shot
Smart, getting back to your original video series recording and mixing, composition and theory
LOVE IT! I remember hearing Shinedown and wanting to know what recorded that.
Great lesson. We need more videos on Drum Eq!
Very informative. We just finished mixing our debut album....or so we thought! Absolutely! Do more of these videos!
Long time fan first time caller... A 'tape machine' plugin is great on basement recordings, I slap it on the master of everything.
Yes! Would like to see more content like this.
Yes! More mixing videos. Compression for the win!!!
More of this type of content please🙏🏻 Rick Rocks🤘🏻
100% love this type of video. You be watched all the old recording ones but awesome to see this too. Can’t wait for more instruments/techniques!!
We were missing this mix vídeos rick!
Very informative. It's great to have an explanation from mic placement to playback, and everything in between, in chronologic order. It makes others tutorials look amateur.
I love this...this is right up my alley..more content like this please, along with everything else you do
More of this type of content would be great! Thanks for this! Thanks also for the details shown and talked about. Lots of great info here!
I absolutely loved this! Thank you! Please do more
I did use a little eq in my recording setup, but no compression at all. Only well-placed and balanced quality drum microphones.
I love to see these types of videos. Thank you Rick for putting it together.
Loved all your explanations, thank you for this
This was massively insightful! Thank you for this!
Great video Rick ! Thankfully you stopped your friend taking all the usual shortcuts while explaining and forced him to really explain the details. This was so helpful and I'd love to see more videos like this.
Love seeing more content videos, especially the discussion around your use of the mic preamps and eq in this video. Killer drum track, btw!
Love this content! More recording & mixing content plz! Rick = Amazing ❤
Much appreciated! Thank you so much for going into these kinda details and asking the questions re what/why.
Yes, please -- more recording videos! Love this type of content.
Love this! Thank you for posting, would love to see more!
Really cool to see JV’s Silencer on there. Awesome gate.
your equipment is so WOUAWWWW, no words
Thank you for featuring our Tape MK2 analog tape simulator intros video! that's wonderful, I hope you are enjoying the plugin!
Thank you both! I really enjoyed this video. I would love to see more like this, bass, vocals, guitar, etcetera. :)
More like this please! Been struggling with getting the right sounds out of my drum kit, picked up a few things I'll try. Thanks!
Thanks for this very concise, clear and distinctly helpful summary of your drum method for Greg B's playing. Super useful for me in a small home studio, but using a full acoustic kit. Especially with your context of why you use particular bands for EQ on individual elements, compression rationale, etc. If you could do more like this, it'd be awesome! Thanks for all your content over the many years, Mr. Beato. You're making a profound difference to many.
This is exactly the video I've been waiting to see. Especially the EQ settings help a lot getting a baseline for my DAW
Mixing analysis is very welcome!
Very cool! Nice to see you using all that great gear again. Thank you for sharing.
Incredibly useful video, Rick, Thanks for doing this :-)
Thanks so much Rick! The timing of this video was perfect. I have been tuning my drum room and setting up to record my 73 Pearl Dynabeat that I reconditioned (Fibreglass +concert toms). This video reassured me that the things that were bothering me in my small room were still present in your studio. I am in my 40's and I learned audio while working for my old man's jazz band in the 90's. I Started on an Atari St and it still amazes me till this day what we can do in the box with tried and true recording techniques. Big respect for all you do mate, cheers from Melbourne Au.
Loved this style video - really great to see and hear effect and thought behind why its being applied.
Thank you so very much for this video! I’m a longtime musician just now getting into my own home studio recording environment with a thirst to learn as much is I can from seasoned professionals such as you guys. I’ve been subscribed to both channels for over a year or so and I’m very appreciative of your content. Thank you again 🙏🏾
YES!! I was just thinking after watching the Greg Bissonette vid that the drums sounded absolutely EPIC!! Seriously amazing sound, and Greg is one of the coolest drummers of all time. I’d love to meet him someday, and Rick as well!! Thanks for sharing your setup with us, Rick!
Yes, please, more videos like this showing how you recorded and mixed. Good stuff. The main video with Gregg was great, too.
Yes! more content like this. All the examples are great!
Simple things and good gear are always gonna get you great results, and this video is one of the few videos out here ( on youtube ) that shows this. Great video Rick, thanks a lot. I would sure like to see more of these Cheers
This is phenomenal, Rick thank you.
This is great… incredibly useful. Lots covered particularly the drum mic set up and EQ parameters and comparison with and without 🤌
I would love to see more about micing techniques for drums on this channel.
"except for that compressor", lol. Yeah, that was a huge change! Can hear the tape emulator too but only because it's side by side.
This is great! as drummer myself getting into mixing THIS is the content! Thank Rick!
So much learning going on. Love it
I would LOVE to see A LOT more content like this !!! Please !!! So helpful 🙏🙏🙏
Love the content here, please Rick, keep bring it on!
Great subtle tip. If you record the TOP and BOTTOM of a snare, reverse the phase of the mic of the BOTTOM to avoid the top and bottom signals being out of phase with each other and killing the attack.
Fantastic, such a treat to watch and listen to high level professionalism and actually understand the value of this content !! Please continue producing this type of material. Thank you in advance.
Honestly - just listen to the room mics. 80% is Gregg's spectacular playing, 20% comes from the pro-grade, well tuned drumkit in a good room. Everything after that is just flavor, it's really hard to screw up such a good source.
Most excellent!!! Yes more recording videos please!!!
More content!! I can watch this forever… just started adding room mics to my recordings and wow it makes the whole song.. keep it up rick love this type of video
Yes, would love more practical mixing videos like this.
Ahh, that is like ASMR for me. I am a hobby metal/prog drummer and physicist and came to mixing through edrums and VST drumming. And I love these EQ curves, all that technical stuff connected to emotions in music. This is the second time I noticed a KUSH audio plugin used by a pro studio. I recently have seen a video on the channel of the creator of that plugins (The House of KUSH, Gregory Scott) about compression. And that was nice! Thanks for sharing this! Great!
Yes! Yes! More of this. More videos showing what pros like yourselves do to get drum mixes.
I love seeing the engineering side of Rick. Please make more of these videos!
Loved this. Thank you!
This was so helpful, thank you so much. I am so happy man
Excellent video. I have been flying(mixing) blind and learning(from my mistakes) as I go. There is so much good info here. Thank you!
Great, thankyou so much for sharing this type of things!!! appreciate!!
Giving the people what they want! Excellent, Rick. Thanks ❤
The bass drum is pumpin
This takes me back I was in a audio engineering school back in the nineties and these are for the most part the mic choices we used back in the day. Back then we had three studios which had a neve, SSL and a api consoles to choose from and we had old studer 2 inch 24 track machines to record to and mastered with dats. Cool video, takes me back.
Thank you so much for sharing this!
Love this video! I would love to see many more recording and mixing videos!
