Hopefully all these studios, which are essentially small businesses, who have put so much time and money into them, will survive through this pandemic. Looks like a really nice studio! Stay well Warren!
@@Producelikeapro That's great, if you would say this about 30 or 40 years ago, they put you in that "special jacket" and take you to a psy facility, we love the internet.
i might be wrong so forgive me Zac if this is rude but if someone's parents ship them a boston grand for their birthday, running a profitable studio might not be an imperative to putting food on the table. sick studio all the same from a guy who is clearly talented and passionate.. partic room 2 i think would be a fun place to make a record
OMG! No way!!!! I've recorded at the old space and the new one! Zach is the man!!!! I did drums at the house studio for the song "Salty" and "Bad Boy" by Andres Did drums at the new place for the song "North" by JONO. Check 'em out!
You can't beat a good studio tour, more so when you do a tour of such a beautifully well thought out working environment. The vocal booth is studio 2 is so trippy. Thanks for that Warren and I wish BBS every success.
I think that the first video that you did with Zach was the first-ever video of yours that I watched. It's great to see Zach's enthusiasm and encyclopedic knowledge of every piece of gear in his studio! Nice job, guys.
Wow, such a great studio. Awesome gear but the design and look of the rooms is also amazing and really well laid out. I really hope this place succeeds. They seem super enthusiastic and appreciative of everything. They’ve also been good about answering my questions when they’ve posted gear on Instagram. Definitely the kind of place I dream about having one day.
Stay safe Warren and everyone. Warren, you have taught me everything I know and you are my hero !! I thank you for teaching us and sharing your knowledge with us. Not many professionals share the knowledge like you do and I thank you so so much. I do my best to share what you have taught with my best friends that are making GREAT music too. Once again, be safe my friend
I don’t think @producelikeapro is respecting the commandment.. “Thou shalt not covet your neighbours original U48 or U67”... you’re coveting all over those mics!!! LOL. What an amazing set up! I know where I’d want to be self isolated. Thanks for sharing and thanks to Big Bad Studios for letting us behind the scenes. 🎼🎛🎸🤘
Great video. I enjoyed it so much, that I am thinking to watch it again. Very beautiful and pro studio. Great to see products I have and can afford like the warm audio's etc. Please stay save Warren!
Great tour! Thanks guys. So informative with tons of gear. Where can we hear Zach's podcast he mentioned? Randomly saw Scott from Weezer in glassel park where I was working on a film production before everything went down. Unrelated but I love that area of LA.
That’s the exact same tape machine I used and learned on when I went to audio engineering school in Ohio! Awesome machine. We had it paired with a 52-ch Sony MCI console in our main room. Awesome days 🤗
I must say. Veryyy Impressive. I didn't notice 90% of the equipment but I have truly learned a lot of from this video. From how impressive they look and how much work has been put in by both of you guys into knowing the necessity for each equipment to just how much this did not just happen over night. Guitars have been collected over the years, the piano, the tape recorder etc. Truly amazing content. Massive gratitude to Warrent and your team. Thanks a lot brother!
my favorite piece of gear that I would want to have is the Blue Stripe 1176 for sure immediately followed by either the Pultec EQM-1S3s or the SSL AWS 900
I never get sick of watching Studio Tours. I love people who are passionate and really know what they are talking about. Its so inspiring to make me want to learn more and more. Thanks again. If I got to choose one thing for my studio, Id love a console with great Preamps. Thanks again
Hello Warren and all of you, I hope you are all keeping safe and well. Id like to ask a question regarding another topic that you have covered recently. When aligning drum mics for phase, or even split bass recordings- which one do you move? Do you assume the DI/close mic is the correctly aligned one and then move the others to suit? Thanks for all the great content you post mate. I just got a new TV so now I can watch you on a 43” screen!
I have a question! How did you get your light to shine through the dark mass of the many different recording studios in LA? It feels like everyone's got the best gear and the best rooms, how were you able to distance your company from everyone else?
Great tour, as always. The Focusrite unit you are referring to might be one of the Platinum series pre's.... I have the voice master pro, and I like what it does to a lot of stuff....guitar, bass, synths etc. don't use it much on voice though. Oh well.
@@StaticTeaz not the same, but same family of units. I think the units have a purpose...but many decide to sell after a while. I think they are the cheaper focusrite units.
How do you know if a speaker is super accurate if you need to consider the room, acoustics, distance and the speaker itself, and of course a person needs to hear what "accurate" really sounds like. These studios are really great tho, i wish i could walk in to these studios just to feel the atmosphere and get motivated :)
Well I sold a wah for $35 to Billie Joe's shop in Oakland so it just comes down to how desperate you are heh. As a poor bloke, I'm focusing on what I can achieve primarily in the box. That said, fun tour.. looks like a great studio!
Big Bad had a really cool blog up for a while chronicling the build-out from soup to nuts that was super cool. Sadly it's been taken down but it was fun to check out while it lasted.
the biggest caveat with equipment is trying to buy things to sound like someone or something..... if you look at things from a fundamental perspective (such as the gentleman who essentially has tech knowledge of his own equipment) you can find yourself making more with less and getting down to the creative side of things.. obviously were going to drool over things and obtain certain pieces, but at the end of the day keep in mind a lot of pros do most things in the box these days.
If you could have any piece of equipment in your studio, what would you choose?
Jimi Hendrix Original Marshall ... niom niom ✌✌✌
Just sonarworks with a mic and a micstand
Tree Audio roots console.
An Eric Valentine Undertone Audio Unfairchild!
A 48 channel console - Neve or SLL. And all the necessary converters to use it hybrid! :)
Hopefully all these studios, which are essentially small businesses, who have put so much time and money into them, will survive through this pandemic. Looks like a really nice studio! Stay well Warren!
Hi Daniel, I agree! Luckily many studios and producers have established themselves online and are mixing remotely!
@@Producelikeapro That's great, if you would say this about 30 or 40 years ago, they put you in that "special jacket" and take you to a psy facility, we love the internet.

Both of these guys are having a great hair day.
Haha Thanks! I'm definitely not a hair model! Just a dude recording music!
OMG! No way!!!!
I've recorded at the old space and the new one!
Zach is the man!!!!
I did drums at the house studio for the song "Salty" and "Bad Boy" by Andres
Did drums at the new place for the song "North" by JONO. Check 'em out!
Hi deja0entendu fantastic!! Yes, great guys with a great studio!!
I loved Big Bad from the first studio tour you did, been following on IG ever since, it's fantastic to see where they've got to!
Thanks ever so much Chris! Yes, I love their new facility!
I love how many times Zach uses the word fun! :D
Haha yes, indeed James! It's rather wonderful indeed!
You can't beat a good studio tour, more so when you do a tour of such a beautifully well thought out working environment. The vocal booth is studio 2 is so trippy. Thanks for that Warren and I wish BBS every success.
Thanks ever so much Steve!! Agreed, the guys have done something very special here!!
Zack seems so young but very mature and educated in the craft. Beautiful studio and wonderful video. Thank you Warren Zack.
Love that there's no dissing of "lesser" equipment... everything has a place and is worth consideration. Love this attitude:) Great Space guys!
I think that the first video that you did with Zach was the first-ever video of yours that I watched. It's great to see Zach's enthusiasm and encyclopedic knowledge of every piece of gear in his studio! Nice job, guys.
Zach is out here with the Saint Laurent boots. Mad drip 🤣 Love this, it’s been a moment since the last studio tour and I love these videos!!!
I know that board before it was in Firehouse it was at Sound Station Seven. Love that API.
Fantastic! Thanks for letting me know!
He needs a studio that big to fit his hair do in
Indeed! Great hair!!

Hi Jeff Dunsmore thanks ever so much my friend!! Great seeing you on Feedback Friday! I appreciate your support!!
What a Great tour and really interesting gear Love it

Please stay save Warren!
There's always something new to gain from your interviews man! Truly honest and transparent here!
The pegboard looks a lot like the old Sun studio!!
Yes, I love the look of pegboard in a studio!
good choice on the API
Great tour! Thanks guys. So informative with tons of gear. Where can we hear Zach's podcast he mentioned? Randomly saw Scott from Weezer in glassel park where I was working on a film production before everything went down. Unrelated but I love that area of LA.

I love it ....this is good
Thanks ever so much!!
Is this studio dream land? No, there are 2 channels on the board without EQ! 🤣😂😅😃 We all muddle through somehow I suppose. Cool tour Warren! 👍🤠✌
Haha yes two channels! Haha Thanks for the great comment!
Great playing on an acoustic guitar! - I would listen to the album))
AW shucks! Thanks ever so much my friend! I really appreciate it!
He sounds like he could do a dead on impression of Michael Cera.
I love this but please practice social distancing. Health care worker here, its a mess Please stay well and be safe
Hi Girolamo, this was filmed in Mid February before the Lockdown.
Produce Like A Pro Oh Thank Goodness! Stay well!
Girolamo you too! Stay safe and healthy!

Where does all that money come from? That’s well & truly a shnizzleton of money! 😂
😎👍
thats what i wonder
Me also....perhaps Zach is putting a large inheritance to good use? Good on him for being so abundant, whatever the source.
Talk about geeking out. This dude is very knowledgeable for what looks like a young man. Enjoyed the tour.
It looks almost like the studio I was working 20 years ago.
im deeply ashamed of how jealous i am of this young mans studio....just fantastic stuff wish i could see it in real life, thanks for sharing it
I remember this guy and his small studio. Great to see him progressing. Enjoyed this very much!
I loved that vocal booth with funky drapery... Great episode Warren. An amazing studio
Drums will henceforth be known as 'pots and pans'.
Monolith Music haha indeed!!
Thank you Warren for these kind of videos! It´s so wonderful to watch and obtain some of the knowledge you and your guests have already acquired.
I never get sick of watching Studio Tours. I love people who are passionate and really know what they are talking about. Its so inspiring to make me want to learn more and more. Thanks again. If I got to choose one thing for my studio, Id love a console with great Preamps. Thanks again
EVs in a Twin have their own gravity.
Warren, is there any way I can contact you about possibly going over my new hybrid recording studio I'm having built to get your expert advice?
Focusrite Voicemaster pro ?
Hello Warren and all of you, I hope you are all keeping safe and well. Id like to ask a question regarding another topic that you have covered recently. When aligning drum mics for phase, or even split bass recordings- which one do you move? Do you assume the DI/close mic is the correctly aligned one and then move the others to suit?

Love these tours! Being bunkered down at home I feel like I visited with you guys...thanks Warren!
Amazing studio.
A Mazing studio Tour! I've missed these!
Thanks ever so much Apple!
It's like the cockpit of of an old plane and most of the time I don't even know what the hell they are talking about yet I love it!
Amazing facility they have there!
everything about this was wonderful, thank you.
Yes Warren.....been waiting with baited breathe for your next studio tour! Imitated but never duplicated. Super psyched!
Thanks ever so much Erick!!
Thank you Zach and Warren! Love that baffled room in the moment. Got cold here again all of a sudden. I also love that lower sounding guitar. 😊
Nice tour, great studio and as always an amazing guy.
Made my week been waiting for this video when i was building my studio i messaged guys big bad sound about pres i ended up getting neve 500series pres
That's wonderful to hear!!
I have a question! How did you get your light to shine through the dark mass of the many different recording studios in LA? It feels like everyone's got the best gear and the best rooms, how were you able to distance your company from everyone else?
Wow, what a great studio. Thank you for the interview and the tour.
When I'm in GC Hollywood never see you guys, ran into Stevie Wonder tho, I guess I'll have to wait till this Social thing is over!
What a sweet set up!!! I love it all!
Wonderful!! Thanks Steve!
This is where I mix! Love these guys and the studio ❤️
Beautiful studio. The live room looks great. Love the console as well.
excellent studio and gear collection. Love the vibe in the tapestry covered vocal room!
It looks amazing!! Love the fact that it is not FULL of "stuff" but have precise gear instead.
Agreed entirely Rudolf!!
Had the same idea for the mic stand things in the wall line three years ago. It works just perfect!
That's wonderful to hear Michael!!
nice tour all wow ! TY
Crazy to see his growth in the last five years holy!
Thanks; inspiring studio and tour. Much appreciated : D
Thanks ever so much Arthur!!
Just spent a day at Big Bad Sound~ Amazing place~
Wonderful
Great studio, great video
What is the podcast called ?
Mara 2" 8 track
Excellent tour!... Just what I needed today-
Thanks ever so much Carlo!
With the piano you did the exact same note he did with the word "sounding". Amazing ;)
I like seeing how much Warren enjoys these guys. Big Bad Sound- PunkRockLikeAPro
wasn't the silver face focusrite the voicemaster
It may well of been! Thanks for the reminder!
The Sunn was too loud... So you bought a Matamp. Brilliant! Orange are to Matamp what the Wings are to Beatles. Don't neglect that Ampeg V4 though.
This was awesome!! Thanks
Thanks ever so much!
He doesn't know Stephen Paul...
Amazing video!!
Great tour, as always. The Focusrite unit you are referring to might be one of the Platinum series pre's.... I have the voice master pro, and I like what it does to a lot of stuff....guitar, bass, synths etc. don't use it much on voice though. Oh well.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing!! Yes, that must be what it is!
Voice Master Pro or ToneFactory? I have one of the latter. Maybe the reference is to its "overdrive." I've actually been trying to sell it.
@@StaticTeaz not the same, but same family of units. I think the units have a purpose...but many decide to sell after a while. I think they are the cheaper focusrite units.
This was brilliant! Thank you guys!
Thanks ever so much Michael!

These studios are really great tho, i wish i could walk in to these studios just to feel the atmosphere and get motivated :)
Thanks Dad
Fantastic!
Wow! thanks Warren, thanks Zach. That's amazing new studio, the nod to old big studios with a cool vibe but all the modern conveniences.
I've recorded and shot a music video here. AWESOME spot and AWESOME guys!
Great video Warren! Any chance you could cover that Radial 500 unit which allows you to use guitar pedals with the DAW/patchbay. Thanks!!
Phil Keaggy used to use two Twin Reverbs loaded with 12" EV SROs. Lovely sound.
Loved this! Youth and its vagaries... very useful energy here. Thank you both.
Zach is an outstandingly talented fellow! He really cares about his work! They've built an amazing facility!
You really ARE a gem Warren. I like your fervent and supportive viewpoint. Over 1000 videos, jeez! Thank YOU!
How much money (cost and investment ) is represented here? 1/2 million? One Million? Just wondering. In todays economy.
Wait was this the guy from the Nashville house? My dreams don’t dream of these kind of studios. Amazing. Love to see it
Well I sold a wah for $35 to Billie Joe's shop in Oakland so it just comes down to how desperate you are heh. As a poor bloke, I'm focusing on what I can achieve primarily in the box. That said, fun tour.. looks like a great studio!
What an amazing studio!
Agreed Scott!!
Pretty bad ass
Thanks ever so much!!
I hope some day that you can make a tour of the Blasting Room here in Colorado and interview Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore.
certainly NOT the studio i'd build but hat's off anyway
The Neve 34628 comes from the 8108 console. Can i have it back ? 😜
Big Bad had a really cool blog up for a while chronicling the build-out from soup to nuts that was super cool. Sadly it's been taken down but it was fun to check out while it lasted.

Fun and Cool!
Thanks ever so much!
@@Producelikeapro LOL... I wrote 3 lines and erased all but what I left. It reinforced my own plans for our home studio build! thx
Nice studio! What do you do for control humidity? Cheers
This studio! Amazing! Great to see some South Carolina boys out there making great music! Thank you for sharing Warren!
