How did you start out in audio engineering? I'd love to know!
I was always passionate about music and learnt it throughout secondary school and went on to learn more at college. I also had to apply for other courses and felt that "music tech" would have been something I would enjoy - I did! I soon learnt the boundless possibilities between music and technology and started to experiment as a solo musician.
I recorded at Sheffield in Baltimore MD. it's a great studio. earth wind and fire, funkadelic recorded there too.
Very similar to mine! Great and thanks for sharing.
Wow! Thanks for sharing.
@@Producelikeapro thank you for all your hard work and dedication.
OMG ! I Love this girl ! She is DAF !!
Engineers mixing from home giving more inspiration day after day!!! Gear is being made possible to make these things happen!! Warren you're the man thank you and those you connect with to share the info you share!!
Couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching.
Most interesting interview/engineer in a minute. This was rad.
Great studio, and great song!! ❤❤
Thanks ever so much
Man I love her 😍 wow!!!!
How inspiring !!!!!!!!!!!!
Takeaway: She was resilient from the get go, completely open to any/all possibilities and most importantly had the CORRECT ATTITUDE......takes guts!!
Absolutely!
Yes, very inspiring.
Working in this kind of space is SOOO relatable! Glad you're covering spots like this. Cheers!
I love this space!! Thank you
Thanks Danny! Agreed! So glad to be able to talk to Ali about this
@@AMACULENTMINDSET you rock!
Nice interview and keep them coming also can relate that's why Ali's journey hits a note with me....Our eldest Daughter did Musical Theatre for 7 years (Soprano), from 11yrs to 18yrs then got on a course that wasn't for her....Then went and did an Art and Illustration Degree....She's now a Professional Illustrator and has been for over 10 yrs, never give up! There's a place for everyone, sometimes it takes a different journey to get there.
That girl Pennsylvania Persistent! Hello from Harrisburg yo!
Many thanks to you, Ali for all that you’ve given to Philly 🙏🏽 From my perspective, you and Barb at Tin Angel blazed a trail for lady engineers on South Street. Thank you for sharing your story.
I started audio engineering by moving from a major market (Philly!), where I was making a living as a working musician, to a small market abroad where I was new and performing and teaching wasn’t nearly as doable. Three years later, after going through COVID and having our first child, I wanted to stay working in music but needed something more flexible and sustainable. After thinking on various options, I landed on mixing as a pathway to engineering in general and eventually producing.
Grateful to hear about Ali’s path and welcome it as inspiration for my own and other engineer/producer’s journeys!
Barb is the absolute best!!! She is a HUGE part of my journey. Wouldn’t be here without her!
Thanks for all this Corey!
@@AMACULENTMINDSET 🙏🏽 All the best to you, Ali!
Great video, I enjoyed this very much now I'm curious to listen to her own tracks those vocals were nuts!
That's very cool!
Awesome interview, very encouraging! Ali. You are awesome! I'm a hobbyist. So, engineer (poorly) out of necessity. Videos like this keep me at it when I feel like I've hit a wall. Your enthusiasm for your craft shows. Glad to see you found your path, or it found you!
Thank you Justin!! Keep going!
Thanks ever so much Justin for your great comment!
You Rock Ali!
Love her
Such great vibes
THANK YOU!!
Of course you definitely deserve the attention
Thanks Ali and Warren! 😃
THANK YOU!
Thanks!
I'm an old guy and do love the good ol' stuff but maybe not as much as I used to. 'The times they are a changing' and I love it. Ali is GREAT!!! 🤩 Loved the interview. Thanks Warren!
Thank you SO much. It means a lot and I am enjoying see the times changing in front of my eyes. Pleasure to share people like Ali.
Wow, love this tight, effective setup, ideal for contemporary music. Never heard from Ali. Now I know, will look for her work further online. Great video, good stuff! 👍👍
Thanks Kevin!
What a wonderful person Ali sounds great story. The set-up looks pretty tasty. Great video, thanks very much
Thanks ever so much Joey! I really appreciate it
Thank you!!
She is so humble and natural. Love her already
THNNK YOU!!
Agreed 100%!
This is so, so cool! It's a small but effective studio, and Ali knows how to use the equipment she's chosen. That's what it's really about. And I love Ali's song near the end. This is awesome!
THANK YOU!!
Ali is the best!
❤️❤️❤️
Woo She has a cool vibe!!! God bless her!
THANK YOU!
This young lady is involved in a genre of music where I have little interaction but I truly love hearing people who go hell for leather for their dreams.
Thank You for watching!
Love Ali’s track! I was surprised (as much as Warren) to hear that all the vox tracks were her’s.🤘❤️
THANK YOU!
omg what a wonderful screencap of filthy frank/joji at 14:20 lmao
Greatest album cover EVER! Lol
This is a great story, funny how life can push you along without knowing what's happening, and all of a sudden, there you are!
100%. It's stories like this that keep me inspired.
THANK YOU for watching! Its been a wild ride!
Ali is right, it is super fun doing your own acoustics! I have a CLOUD stripped back gazebo, above are commercial acoustic sheets (black face) and use the gazebo for light strips. That was so much fun. Nice setup Ali, luv it!
THANK YOU!!
Two persons doing a studio tour from their seats!
Haha indeed
Intoxicating lady. Respect. ❤️
Thanks for watching, Paul
THANK YOU!!
Loved this interview! More AMAC please, Warren! A mix breakdown or something would be excellent 👌

Holy shit that’s her range!
It totally is!!
YUP!
Wow, what an intriguing artist/engineer. I love her! Where we going to find her songs???

Sooo glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for watching. Glad we could share this.
Great interview, I like her energy and her song is very cool.
THANK YOU!!
Thanks, Scott!
Awesome!
THANK YOU!
This is Very inspiring
Thank you!!
Hey Ali my name is Maguire too ... I am still trying to get my Home studio working but .. it is more of a Hobby .. I am 67 & retired pensioner so really not fair to spend money I do not earn on Studio Budget .. But I started off just Guitar Singer / Songwriter & had such horrible experiences in studio's from ridiculous to just Money grabber's So I decided I had to be the Boss .. My wife was the 1st one to point out that having finally got a Song recorded I had forgotten to Perform it as the Artist .. Still trying & grabbing tip's & trick's from wherever I can . I actually live less than an Hour away by Car from the Famous Rockfield Studio's where one of Warren's much loved Records Queen's " A Night at the Opera was recorded " but since I can't drive lol & do not have a big budget I just keep on trying on my own .. I wish you all the best with your Career from another Maguire Scot's / Irish .. cheers
Thanks Ben! You don’t need a lot to do a lot. Keep going!
Great interview and nice girl to talk. Really enjoyed it.
Thanks so much!
🔥🔥🔥 Inspiring fr
Glad to hear it!
I just finished watching until the end just loved this interview. you have interviewed some of the greatest. I could relate because I have a studio similar to hers. it as good speakers. I use the first event 20/20's and I do mostly Baltimore style house music. you are a vlog version of future music.
Wow, thank you!
THANK YOU for watching!!
Inspiring!!!
Thanks, Manny!
I enjoyed this. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it!
THANK YOU!!
Great video/interview, go Ali go 👍
Thank you!
THANK YOU!!
Super cool video. Inspiring loved the Hiphop aspect of this video.
Thanks so much!
Thank you for watching!!
Wow! This was awesome! AMAC is awesome! Her studio is so very similar to my own home studio that it inspires me onwards to Greatness ( now wouldn't that be a trick 😉) . Thanks Warren for introducing us to AMAC. Maybe you can get her to do with the Produce Like A Pro Academy? Pretty Please :D
We absolutely should! Yes!
@@Producelikeapro Just been thinking how I needed to hit you up about this!
@@Producelikeapro - that'd be cool! You also have the added bonus that she's a great songwriter and musician - so it would be awesome to have her course, inside the Academy, go from birthing a song (from nothing) all the way to master! That'd be sick! I can't find too many courses/videos like that in this specific genre.
Great vid - BTW. Inspiring!
I know she's in the hip hop, but Ali rocks
one cool lady right there! inspiring interview, indeed.
Thanks ever so much
Oh and agreed 100%!
THANK YOU!!
Great video! Awesome interview! Also love the Audio Technica headphones.
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching. I should check out the m40x again

You Rock Ali!
Nice very nice
Thanks
Thank you!
@@AMACULENTMINDSET you rock!
that was awesome
Thanks, Teresa!
THANK YOU!!
@@AMACULENTMINDSET I will be reaching out
@@AMACULENTMINDSET I have the same UA mic pre strip and I love it, very under rated for sure
Wait, hold up. At 2:50 when she says she's from Allentown, PA. My hometown is literally an hour drive up north in PA. So there might be the SLIM chance that we're possibly related (my grandfather was 1 of 12 kids, and had a ton of cousins).
Either way, she seems very resilient and passionate! Always love hearing about younger audio engineers!
Hey Billy! I actually don’t know anyone on the McGuire side of my family Outside of my Dad so maybe lol
@@AMACULENTMINDSET i know so few on my dad's side, tpo. As soon as you said Allentown, i was like "hold up" 😂
We need more women engineers! 🙌🏼
We’re working on it!
We are!
She is Cool 👍
She is! Inspiring.
THANK YOU!!
@@AMACULENTMINDSET you rock
Would like to hear her whole record!
Me too!
The M1 is superb, very reliable.. Apple's the best for pro studio and live rigging. Just not affordable for most starters in this. Just let us know what you'd recommend for affordable starters pro like reliable, proper, sturdy audio based laptops for great recording and live use please?
I wish I could say it was anything other than Macs but it’s not. If you wanna do this for real you gotta spend the money. You can get one not fully maxed out and save but Max are jerks and don’t let you upgrade.
Warren said leave questions or comments, and I have a question. First, GREAT interview by the way, and great studio. I have an Apollo (Solo in my case) and I see pros like Ali using a mic preamp in front of the Apollo, which also has a preamp... how does that work? Is it literally taking the audio out from her UA preamp into the mic/line in of the Apollo, or is it done some other way? Or does the UA preamp go straight into the Mac?
Yup! Just going out of the 610 to Line In on the Apollo
@@AMACULENTMINDSET Thanks! Maybe I'll start saving up for a good preamp.
yo .professional ~;))
THANK YOU!!
Indeed!
666k subscribers 😈
Ha!
the apollo on full volume gave me anxiety
Hahaha has to be to go into my monitor controller where it is def not turned all the way up lol
A female engineer❓ You can’t do that‼️ Just kidding, that’s so freaking cool. I totally want a girlfriend that does engineering too😊💙
Do you really need an acoustically treated room when 90% of all music listeners listen to their music in untreated rooms. ;)
I think only when there are huge problems with bass frequencies and reverb reflections. Think about it.
Or ask people like Junkie Xl! ;)
Greetings from Germany
Junkie XL has a HUGE room. Acoustic treatment is required so you can accurately monitor otherwise you will be going back and forth when doing various mix translation tests. If you can only invest in a little acoustic treatment, also try digital calibration - or just use headphones. At the end of the day, these are tools to help you get your mixes finished more efficiently.
@@Producelikeapro Yes that's right, it's always a good idea to check the bottom end with headphones.
My Superlux e.g. have 10hz to 30000hz frequency! Then I hear everything that my Adam TV5 cannot reproduce in terms of frequencies.
In reference to your origins story and how you got into music production... Theres that old cliche.. "You dont choose music, it chooses you" Cliche, yep. True? also yep. For better or worse. Lol
Hahaha so true
Another great story of why music blows today
