Recording Will Knox w/ George Massenburg

Tremendous! Great mics, simple mic placement, effective use of EQ, great performance, insightful explanations. Fantabulous!

I found this eye-opening. The examples of "vocal focus" were evident. I'm not sure if those settings would remain the same after drums, bass, etc. were added. It would wonderful to see George and Fab do a mix with more instruments! So much to learn!

Wow… I say it again, this site is a pot of gold; thx guys!

This is pretty much a Sanken Mic commercial. Do it, but teach science, yes, if OVER again, instead of teaching " I love this mic"..

Hi Fab, I loved the video and I was very surprised. What happens is that I see that in the video George uses the EQ to reach that sound that he has in his head and that sounds very good, as if he was already mixed. Then I find another video where Al Schmitt does not use eq when recording and looking for another microphone or another position. Honestly what is your opinion about it? Thanks Juan

Just wow... it's an inspiration to watch these guys work... Great Information.

Wow. That is the acoustic sound I've been looking for. So warm, full, 3D and clear. My mouth is watering.

Fantastic insight into the process, thank you for sharing. Are there any plans to do more videos with Mr Massenburg?

It's always great to see this kind of instructional video with George Massenburg and Fab DuPont. They are the best! And I love the sound of that vintage Neve console! Where can I get one of those? I used to have one, just like that but then... I needed the money so, I sold it. This looks a little like it. Wish I had four limiters built into my console like that? I've heard those are real nice sounding. So why isn't George Massenburg using GML equipment? Why is he using that old Neve? Doesn't his equipment sound better? Couldn't he find a better studio control room than this?

Great Video

@PSW: pureMix on the treadmill. Amazing. I wish I had that kind of willpower. We'll make sure we pick enough songs @120bpm to support your routine.

Awesome stuff, Fab. I watch the vids early in the morning while I'm on the treadmill at the gym, sometimes. Very often, your sense of humor has me, literally, laughing out loud. People look at me kinda funny, but I just tell 'em, "yo, back off; I'm watchin' Fab Dupont!!!...". They scurry away mumbling desperate apologies! Love this site. Money well spent! THANK YOU!

watching the patience and meticulous nature in which he created space for the vocal be starting at the guitar EQ first is a great lesson. I love watching these old school guys.

Hi! I was wondering if there is a way to get rid of some of that guitar string scratching noise ,other than eq-ing it out later? Thanks. P.S. Great song Will!Looking forward to new album
