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 !
+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!
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!
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!
Great studio Graham! Nice to see your new place and where the magic will happen from now on... I'm also a Saffire user - loving their interfaces and how they are ready for the new Yosemite as well... Back to the subject: THANKS FOR YOUR TIME! #GrabandoEnCasa
Very nice. This guy has a lot of talent, good sense and a terrific attitude. The gear was carefully chosen and he uses it to it´s full potential, and his stuff sounds amazing. What else can I say?
Awesome reference for building my studio. I'm definitely getting myself some of that equipment. Thank you for your efforts and great content! The world needs more people like you!
Well, first of all I would like to extend a heart felt Thank You for all the content you upload to RUclips. It has helped me tremendously. As a NOOB to home recording I have found your videos invaluable. Thank you so very much, and I loved the tour of your studio!
Thanks Graham! I work out of a small home studio, too! I have many satisfied clients. I'm surprised how well my recordings and mixes turn out, without having a perfect, huge multi-room studio set up. I appreciate your tutorials, and thanks for showing us your set up. This video gives me some guidance on where to go next.
I really enjoy your page. It's helped me realize where my money needs to go to have a quality and affordable home studio. Which will hopefully expand as the years go on.
Congratulation ! I can't believe I actually use he same gear set up. well 80% close. Thank You for the inside look. May many hours of great recordings come your way.
Great videos man. I love how much detail you give of each thing. Normally people will be like, yeah, this is my interface... This is desk.... This is my computer....
soon as you said you you record for church, i instantly found a new respect for you. god bless man. i too am a music producer, but not many music producers who believe in god, so more power to you bro!
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. Jay
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..
I have to say that I always enjoy this video man. Thanks a lot. Your studio is pretty sweet, and I can imagine all of the fun you have while using it. I am also building up. Almost done. I'm about 5 grand away from where I want to be. Peace...
Nice video. I believe in keeping it simple. My studio is simple as well. I'm glad you showed your hardware also. Gotta step my game up on my hardware. Keep up the good work.
Dude...the 80's...especially mid to late 80's...memories, dude...memories..."The Golden Years"....you got THAT right...metal was big...and so was the hair...LOL!!! If I could live any time of my life over and over again for eternity...THAT would be the time for me. Lotta "firsts" for me that era...first girlfriend that got freaky, got my first guitar, amp and distortion pedal...heard Metallica "Orion" and that was it...been hooked ever since...and I'm in my forties now...lol. The 80's man...damn good times!!!
Thanks for sharing your setup Graham . Here is a Summary of the Studio Equipment :) -Focusrite Saphire Pro 40 Interface : 8 Channel, 8 Mic pre -Focusrite Saphire OctoPre MkII Dynamic -Presonus Central station: (Hooking up Monitors) : Remote switch - has a mono button and switch -Presonus Eureka Channel strip (Check on Ebay for some good deals) -Focusrite ISA220 : transformer based Pre -Avid Eleven Rack: -Behringer Behritone speaker(Oratone Knockoff) ;) Remember about the midrange and using mono for mixes. -Presonus Eris E8 Studio Monitors -M-Audio Axiom| 32 Keyboard -Speakers : Presonas
Yeah I loved the leather couch comment, made me laugh, I haven't been a fan of yours , you always pop up in my feeds, but your starting to grow on me, keep up the good work
Thanks for sharing this video of your studio! It is really informative and inspirational seeing how someone else turns his limited space into a beautiful working professional studio. Oh yeah, I love Focusrite products too!
nice rig presentation ! simply put! inspiring how to not get caught up in a multitude of abundance of equipment,but to find less that would create a magnitude by simple-wise approach.
man thanks for this!!!! your simplicity is SO inspirational for me and I try to do the same in my work thanks for proving constantly that less is more did i say thanks? no? thanks man!!
Nice Ikea Klippan! I have the exact same sofa in my studio and I never sit on it either :) I also have the Ikea Expedit shelf system for my turntable/vinyl collection.
Nice video, thanks! Which differences do you notice between the Pro 40 and the ISA 220? I´ve got a Scarlett 18i20 and an Octopre MKII is coming, and thought of buying an ISA One, but it costs (second hand) more than the 8 channels the Octopre deliver, and had to back down. I´m also considering buying an ART Pro MPAII upgraded with General Electric tubes. Have you tried it? Thanks in advance!
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...
recordingrevolution Hey Graham.. Quick question. Doesn't the Focusrite Interface have more than 1 outputs for extra monitors? Whats the benefits of the Central Station?

The candle on the left is for warmth which is a huge secret in getting a better mix.
It's so true, so so true
i knew i was missing something...
light it with matches though if you want that vintage sound
blood lord ....yeah the candle adds warmth to the sound . one of the best secrets of the industry. lol
LMFAO!
