    The end of this video made you as relatable as ever. Being a real person that deals with real limitations, making due with the best you have available. I know you've always been real, but it's nice to see more things I can relate to at my level. Thanks so much for making the effort to share SO much of your craft!

    The camera won't focusrite ?
    Haha.. ha... *closes the door*
    Seriously though, thanks to this vid, I know wich interface to buy next.
    I looked up the Saffire 40, but I don't have firewire, and I don't really like optical.
    BUT... they have the same one (at least the inputs and layout, I don't know if the pre-amps are the same) with USB connexion, the Scarlett 18I20.
    And it's a little bit cheaper than the audiobox that has the same amount of inputs, only one headphone jack, and no individual peak meters.
    So thanks a lot !

      @MattReillyProductions 9 лет назад +1

      +Arthur Vyncke (Ephora) I own the Focusrite 18i20. I have Firewire ports on my computer but went with the USB interface due to the device being newer and USB being so universal. I have it paired with the Focusrite Octopre MkII and regularly record 10+ simultaneous tracks with no problem! Highly recommended!

    • @JeserNoob
      @JeserNoob 9 лет назад

      Yeah dude I run the focus rite 18i20 as well and it's so great. Just recently started to use the headphone mix software for monitoring and it's improved my life so damn well. Only thing is I bought some cheap quarter inch to audio in so the adapter cuts out so much haha. But other than that, no complaints!

    Great video Graham! Glad you did this tour. With all the years of video teaching, coaching and inspiring, some people are disappointed that you are not in a million-dollar studio with a 60 channel SSL console. But, I'm not. That's not what you teach. If you don't need it, don't buy it... you said that! The desk is super hot dude. Be encouraged, keep grinding ! Your studio rocks. Already There is a great song. Also, I read in a BMI news letter that most of the so-called major studios were loosing money or doing out of business,due to home studios and the quality achieved. Really do tell..

    Dude.... Awesome.
    You owed it, deserved it, didn't-need-it-but-hey to yourself. I applaud your couch, and your desk. NOT because they are "useful" but because you have poured your heart and soul into your projects and revolution. That, THIS channel (non musical, youtube) and your site are worth at least a self-treat to some black leather.
    Sweet room, good gear choices, pretty "color" pallette, well executed and properly managed.
    cheers from Boston.

      Pretty sure that's just because it isn't really worth it to treat the whole room. His desk is the only place where he needs the perfect sound.

    • @tekis0
      @tekis0 8 лет назад +4

      It's probably because video camera's have a vicious limiter built in. That's exaggerating the ambience.

    • @noir4659
      @noir4659 4 года назад +1

      @@DrBuffaloBalls I think in order for "the place where he sits" to have "the perfect sound" he does have to treat the entire room lol don't estimate back corners, if one doesn't treat them then lots of low end shit can build up real bad from there, I'm pretty sure he treats the back wall with quite some effort he just didn't show it in the frame. Also did you notice how even if he's at the desk talking about the computer it still kinda echos? I think the other guy is right, it's the build-in limiter of the camera that crushed his direct voice and boosted every little noise way up

    • @musicbyshooty

    @blacktieautodetailing 10 лет назад

    Very nice set-up, pretty straight forward, yet still enough to do amazing things! I am also in the works in converting my detached one car garage into my studio, but it's slightly larger and I am using the whole garage, I really don't need the garage for storing anything as I now have a large shed out back...and eventually I am adding on to the front side and back side of the garage, and connect it to the house in the middle, and will eventually have a nice sized control room, live room, and vocal booth..but for now, just the one room from the one car garage to get a decent sized space...and have a full acoustic drum kit fit in it! Basically I'll just be adding good sound insulation, sheet-rock, laminate flooring, maybe wall carpet 3ft from the ground up, and of course some acoustic panels...

His name is Tony Maserati. Tony was way ahead of his time. To work with us he had to be. We drove him crazy lol. BUT.... if made him realize that he didn't need a TON of gear.... he needed a small amount of gear than can do a TON of shit!... Yo, you even look a little bit like Tony, man! lol.

    About 5-6 months ago we had a big lightning storm that knocked out pretty much my entire system and since I've been a little short on the budget all of my production (and gaming q.q) activities on the PC have had to take a rest. About a week ago I finally got a chance to place an order for the last two missing parts of the machine: a GPU and a new interface. Today I got to test out the Xenyx Q502USB I ordered and man, what a treat from the pawn-shop MBox Mini USB3 that blew up on me. I would have liked to have gotten something bigger, but right now I just don't need that. Seeing you're (humble) setup makes me feel a bit better about my decision--more is nice, but having what you need to meet your requirements for work is really all that matters.
    I also found out today that my monitors' amps didn't blow, woo! There's $300ish 'saved'.

    Funny how people are tripping out on your gear. Its all application not equipment. Good video. I have better gear than on paper. But yet I still love your videos and find them very helpful. All reassuring me that its all about how you use it that really matters. Cheers
