So in Starstruck, would a band hypothetically be able to get amps isolated and have each amp both close-mic’d and room mic’d, with same for drums and bass?

I’m glad to hear I make more in my mundane life than these people do.

First of all; good video man and I love that Gibson version that's sitting on your lap,Don't see those too often. 2nd As a christian musician myself, A lot of Christians that are in the Christian music scene are not in the Christian world as well, Their conversion is somewhere else, not 100% christian. It appears that Christians that are really honest, are controlled by the industry.Where as christians that are contrary , make better lyrics, really weird.

Ostrander played on one of my albums. Great sound!

This is incredibly well done. You're exceptionally well spoken and your approach to delivering the message is amazing. Much appreciated.

starting a family is cool - I must have missed that the first time I watched it, 12:25 that is some very good news. Then you can have a little Nicky V. to train and show how to do guitar, whether a girl or a boy - happy for you, hope you can get more settled and to have a family too. My wife and I met in 2001 and a 5 yr honeymoon, then our first child born in June 2006, and now he is 18 yrs old - with longer hair than you :) he isn't a musician, but he listens to music 24/7 it seems. Anyways - hope to meet sometime, and hope the best for you and your wife. We have 4 kids, ages 7, 10, 13 (daughter), and our 18 yr old - 3 boys, 1 girl. Being a dad, father is the best life out there, and a good husband - family life is the best (my opinion). Thanks for all of your work, and sharing very interesting stuff. Your videos are good enough to even watch 2 or 3 times - which I don't find with hardly anyone out there. Ha ha - coolness, have a good day. Tim from rural Gleason, TN.

One thing for sure. We dont play for be rich !

That's a good song

Always play for the song. Sessions are serious business where one kinda has to hold back in a way because it's all about the vocal. One has a bit more freedom touring because it's live music. Music awareness 101.

If you are getting paid $300 to play to 30,000 people, that is how much per audience member? Pathetic.

Are you related to the guitarist from Embrace the Suck channel? You look familiar.

Man I thought that was really cool and very informative...I picked up some cool ideas for my own home recording stuff....now if I could just just sing and play better ha! Subscribed and will follow, thanks Nicky!

bro ! May God bless you man ... Great content

I didn't even watch the video I read the title and and clicked on it to comment you want to meet me in the parking lot right now to throw down I'll kick your ass while listening to Zoe girl

Wondering if there is any perceptible audio loss when going from 2” tape to ProTools, once it’s all mixed down. Any loss of analog warmth or depth??🎶🎶🎶 Rock on Nicky!🎶

Great content as always!

Would love to hear you talk through charts in more detail, how you create them/alter them on the fly would be a really interesting watch for me!

Enjoyed.

What you described could be applied to church staff as well. Some weird stuff goes on. It takes a lot out of you to work on a modern church staff (in any role).

Oh this is interesting...thanks bruv

I was a worship guitarist in my local church and also rock band during my teenage days. But currently working with kids a very low key, nobody notice you, no glamour, no fame, no money, no appreciation, nothing ....but then i always remember at the end of the day you are serving a supernatural god which human eyes cant see, am not doing for some human or following instructions to please people or organization. If i want out i can but am volunteering for past 10 years now. One thing i learn as i walk with lord "there are lots of hypocrisy in church but so as in work place, school or community and even in within own family". Therefore we cant always expect church goer are holy and good people.. they are equally bad or worst even then non believers. Its all about our intention and attitude towards god. Low keys become part of every walk of our life and somehow give us wisdom and matured us beyond our age. But i tell you being low key is not everyone cup of tea especially in this mordern age where we wanted to be recognized for everything we do.

In the 80s I was in a cover band. For around 6 or 7 yrs I played pretty much every weekend in bars and weddings. We made 150 to 200 each per weekend in bars and 250 each for a wedding. I made 7.00 per hr during the week framing houses. I brought home 190.00 after 40 hrs. Today the bar band guys I know are making the same money or less. I was killing it in the 80s. No way I would play 4/45 min sets for two nights for 150 today.

Yes, I love this kind of content. I get to see what I'll never see in real life, and I find it fascinating.

Cruise ships are the way to go, and not Carnival.

I'm a Christian and do not listen to much, if any, Christian music. I listen to mostly secular music and a small amount of Christian music. The Christian music i do listen to is Demon Hunter, Phil Wickham, and Impending Doom. When i became a Christian I stopped listening to any secular music that had anti-Christian lyrics.

Cut some demos there about 15 yrs ago- real glad to see it's still a classy place.

Cool.

Lots of "Christians" aint walkin' THE Walk. Thats IN the Church IN the Industry...IN the workplace. Scary verse ... I NEVER KNEW YOU.

Did you play with Dale Wallace in Shenandoah?

Enjoyed your conversation 👍🏼📖🙏🏼♥️🎶

I play in a Christian/secular band. I have struggled with playing the secular music since my walk with Jesus has gotten stronger and my relationship is closer to Him. I continue to play because of there are more opportunities to witness to people who have never experienced Him or have never heard of Him. I can play Christian music for Christians any time. I praise and thank God for my gifts and talents I believe come from Him. 🎸🎤🎶🙏🏼📖♥️

If it doesn’t align with God’s word then it is not true. Anything that is not of the Bible, God’s Word, it is of the devil. 📖📖📖🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼♥️

Tory Slusher uses an iPhone. Good enough for her.

Good stuff!

The 24 track tape machine is old school. But the black rotary phone on the mixing desk is REALLY old school! 😊 Not to mention the KISS 8-track tape!

slow down when you talk - you have mush mouth

Hey dude , wow . Thank you for saying these things . Thank you for sharing your heart . Yes there are bad in every community. Even the church . But it should not be this way. I’m glad you have also had the opportunity to be around real Christian’s. Turning to Christ is the best decision I have ever made . It doesn’t mean fun has ended , but rather just begun . There are things and places I may not frequent any more . But it’s not because of religious pressures . But it’s because when Jesus came into my life it changed me . I no longer want to drink and run the street and chase women. .lol God gave me an awesome wife and I got need to chase something less ! Anyway thank you for sharing . I do know somewhat of what you’re saying and it should not be this way. .but sometimes it takes being this stuff to surface to get the crud on. .like refining silver .

I used to have to roll the 2" tape machines around Sound Stage on Music Row, up the elevator, back down, front stage to back stage. I was a skinny little rail hauling gear 12-16 hours a day, 6 days a week.

Tape was almost on its way out when i first started laying down a few songs here and there but i dont really miss it in the same way some people miss vinyl. I was so excited when digital came in because it was a game changer in every way . Great video , and such a cool studio ! Thanks for taking us along 🙂

Great lesson! Thank you!!!!

I remember the first studio that I engineered and produced at in the 70s. We used a 4 track 1/2" Ampex tape machine and a Heilsound board. We mixed to an old 1/4" Ampex 351. I used a lot of reel-to-reel decks during the 26 years I was in radio.

Hi Nicky, another great video, just out of interest, are all you session guys worried about ai taking your work with the leaps and bounds it is going in?

Worship leaders should not be new Christians. They should be theologians and know exactly what they're singing.

All of the "christian" bands you mentioned are heretical and worldly

Ohhh shooot... lol, So kewl.. didnt realize it was your channel on this short...I got caught up in your precision and approach to the attack...Epic under a minute...

Dang, that’s some serious insight! Great information! And I’m not even a real musician! I’m stunned that modern acts pay so low. But maybe I shouldn’t be.

I freely admit some of the technical jargon goes over my head.... but that's OK! I still get a sense of what you're doing here and it's super-interesting. Thanks for sharing this!
