This is such a great video that showcases you don't even need to do a ton of construction to get great results. Another great studio! Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely beautiful studio, so cozy and comfortable and easy to use. Straight to the point and without ridiculous fancy stuff just for the sake of it. You can tell this studio works perfectly when Mitch, who has had the best of the best equipment on his hands decides to pick just the right things to create music and have the best time. Wish i lived in the states to buy things from Sweetwater, Mitch is the best sales person any company would kill for. Not only because of his knowledge and sales ability, but because of him being so humble and kind. Thank you for this video. ❤
Just outstanding, Mitch. Hopefully one day when I’m ready to renovate my basement and create a drum-based studio I’ll borrow a lot of techniques! Would love to know the brand/style of curtain rod you used and how you mounted the o-rings for the ceiling clouds. So innovative DIY!
Borrow away! I can't recall the brand, but they were inexpensive rods that I got, I think at Menards or Lowes or somewhere. Anything will work since the panels are very light. Just be sure the rod brackets have a full loop to hold the rod when hanging down; won't work with a rod that has a "j" bracket.
Nice Mitch, I see you bought the TC-Electronic pug-in's with the real time "hands on" controllers. I bought the whole line of them as you did and I have to say, I use them all the time for production and mixing. Mine is the white desk top rack, I also got the HD-muti-band compressor, and HD-Limiter. They all sound great. Nice studio Mr. Gallagher!
I started out with analog gear, so I'm a big fan of getting "hands on" where possible. I probably need to fill out the rest of the lineup like you did. 🙂
@@mitchgallagher2755 yes, I'm the same way. Started out with a Tascam 3340 4 track, with a Tapco Catalina mixing board, this was back in 1977. So using a mouse and staring at a computer screen really takes away from the importance of just turning knobs and using our ears. Even though I don't use my 24 tack 2 inch much anymore, I still have to have most of my gear with an analog fell and real time control, even if it's still plug in based. It's like I set up my soft tube SSL 4000 on all the channels, and have a template to configure it, how many track and tracks label, ect. Sounds great works well for my studio. You keep your self a very busy man, I always look up to you, your a great asset to Sweetwater. Have a great day.
If you look closely in this video and in the Sweetwater video -- I may even discuss it there -- I have Gruv Gear mutes on many of my guitars for exactly this reason. The acoustics, in particular will ring at certain notes. But some of the more resonant electrics will also ring. I've found you can end up with a very strange pitched reverb in the room that, while not very loud, is definitely not desirable!
Is any of the gear featured in this video part of a sponsorship deal? Just curious if the items in your studio are there because they’re your top choice or if this is just a new way to showcase products you’re trying to move.
I work for a retailer, so we don't do "sponsorship" deals like you might have with an influencer. (We do work the other way, though, and sponsor some videos by various influencers.) This is my personal studio, built up over years of buying/selling/trading gear. Working for a retailer, I do have the perk of purchasing at reduced prices. However, there can never be any "I'll give you this if you do a video" or other strings attached.
I'm not running both. I had the IKs set up before I had the sub (with Neumann's correction in it) installed, and have just left it. It will be interesting to compare what the sub does versus the IK, and also versus Sonarworks.
Ok, why given all your supposed know how would you ever recommend a mix or mastering studio that has glass on the front wall, no symmetry, and looks like DIY panels (2"? and corner traps)???? Seriously????
A lot of these things are addressed in the video. Mitch discusses his goals for the room and the desire to use off the shelf items for treatment rather than build custom elements that you see in many of our studios. A lot of studios have glass on the front wall leading to either the exterior, a live room or isolation booth and that doesn't inherently make for a room that doesn't perform well. Mitch's room was not a build from the ground up. It was an existing, symmetrical, rectangular room and the only room that was available, so you have to work with what you have!
As Gavin replied, that was exactly the point; take a room like anyone might have -- just a basic bedroom -- and make a great-sounding space. It came out remarkably well. Thanks for watching!
WOW Fantastic, always a fan of Mitch. beautiful studio..
Wow Mitch love your❤
Thank you!
This is such a great video that showcases you don't even need to do a ton of construction to get great results. Another great studio! Thanks for sharing.
It is nice to show off a space that many people could pull off in their homes. Thanks for the kind words and for watching our video!
Thank you!
I’ve followed Mitch for quite a few years and to see his personal studio setup was awesome! You both did an excellent job with everything!!!!👊🏾🎶🎵🎶
Thank you!
Looks great
Love to see the before and after graph
The Sweetwater video shows some shots of the graphs that Gavin did of the before/after room response.

Thanks for the kind words and for viewing the video!
You're very kind, thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!!
Hahah those little Genelecs look way too cute next to the Neumann
Nice job Gavin,
Still enjoying my own studio, thanks for your help!
Hey Tom! Great to hear from you and I hope all is well.

Gorgeous space
Thank you!
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! 🙌
Thank you!

Thank you!
Looks great and nice ergonomics for recording.
Appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching!
That's the goal, have a space that's inspiring to work in, and that functions as well as it looks. Thanks for watching!
@@haverstickdesigns Where do I get these shower curtains? Please advise.
I will save my dollars. One day!!! ❤❤
Appreciate you watching the video!
@@haverstickdesigns cheers
Nice! Who makes the adjustable shelf racks housing those amps and fx pedals?
The pedal and amp racks are made by RAB Audio, check them out at Sweetwater!

@@jeffalbro4534 Thanks so much!
Love Mitch G. Big fan. You knocked this studio out of the park! Any problems with the guitars/strings causing resonances?
I’ll let Mitch respond to that in case he has noticed anything, but it isn’t typically a problem. Appreciate you watching this one!
@@haverstickdesigns I always enjoy seeing you work. And it is cool that you are a mechanical engineer!

@@mitchgallagher2755 OK...thanks for that! I always wondered if that would be a factor. Great room, Mitch!
Nice place.
I appreciate it!

nice room. have fun keep rocking
Appreciate it!
Will do!
Neumann’s DSP + IK’s room correction? Why?
I'm not running both. I had the IKs set up before I had the sub (with Neumann's correction in it) installed, and have just left it. It will be interesting to compare what the sub does versus the IK, and also versus Sonarworks.
@@mitchgallagher2755 ahh makes sense. That would be a cool follow up video
He’s loyal to his kh310
They work for me!
First like and comment😂❤
If you’re not first, you’re last! 😉 Thanks for watching!
God bless this studio 🙏🎸
