Success Brings out the Best in Folks
Mitch Gallagher You look great man!
For reals nice
i guess I'm quite randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to stream new series online ?
Yes, Mitch looks fantastic! Great job on the weight loss and the upkeep of his wonderful studio!! Excellent!!! Good luck!!
Mitch here, it's 2024 now, and all of it came right back, with a vengeance. I've given up on dieting, i'm done with all of it.
@@MeAndTheBoys_I lost 50 lbs in the last 6 months and there is another channel “Marks Epic Weight loss” who is currently on a mission to get lose weight due to chronically overweight. Somehow, there was his kitchen that reminded me of Chick corea who, coming from a seemingly disrespectful pov (not intentionally), I believe he was at some point and I remember your interview.
So, what happens? I truly want to know. I’m 31, 167lbs at height of 5’-11” tall. Mark is 39 going on 40, giving meaning to “someone here is almost 40” from beneath the mask album and I can see the struggle.
Someone disliked this video?? I mean come on what's not to dislike about it? They are nice, humble and intuitive. It is quite difficult to understand people nowadays... Cool video guys.
I'm digging this video too.... they almost lost me in the first bit there tho from the guy on the left trying to convince the guy with the studio that there is something wrong with using his tv as the monitor.. I get it. Sweetwater dont sell TVs but common the guy clearly loves his tv monitor (I love mine too) and not to mention saved a pile of money. They need to hire someone else to do the interviews rather than the guy trying to push sales.
I love that the guy on the right doesnt just submit to the guy on the lefts attempts to turn him into a salesman about something hes passionate about... hes honest and clearly doing something he loves. The guy on the left is in the wrong business. He needs a new job. Find something you love my friend
Followed the best that I could to see how much is in Mitch's home studio. I got the prices off of the Sweetwater website. This includes mics to monitor. I didn't include the Mac Mini, TV, or keyboards in the video. Also, I can imagine the tremendous cost for the room build out, the many guitars shown, cables, stomp boxes, and the abundant hardware that is in his studio.
If I'm correct...that comes $73,316.00.

...just a portastudio then
That weight loss is impressive.. Gorgeous space btw
Damn Mitch... looking good brother! Quite a change from the previous videos I saw.
What a amazing video, Mitch really shared so much insight and knowledge of how to put together a studio that is easy to use. Thank you so much Mitch
Mitch, your weight loss is phenomenal! I'm very happy to see this. And the information is worthwhile, I also bought your book on studio design and acoustic treatment.
Thanks again Mitch and company.
Thanks for the vid. I'm a musician and health professional. Weight loss looks great and great looking studio. Great job on both.
Great! Love the honest and pragmatic view on analog and digital sound processing.
On top of all the great gear and reviews what I liked more was getting to see a little bit more of the "outside" the box Mitch that I kindda have followed for some years now. Keep up the good work man. You got a fan here watching your steps. Nice studio!!!
Wow, I loved both segments of this series. Very educational and put things into perspective on the process of choosing the equipment. I loved the way Mitch talked through the thought processes for what he decided on,
Thank you, I'm glad you found the videos helpful!
Absolutely great! When is the next video coming? I am sure Mitch has made a few upgrades by now.
That was awesome dude! And you look fantastic! Hope I get to see you when I'm there this Friday!!!
I was about to start shaming you about cable management, but then you guys rolled that rack out..
It looks like you really put some thought into that space, I like it.
Between this and the "Project Design..." video, Mitch and David provide 2½ hours of solid information. Really well done - and without being a blatant commercial for Sweetwater Sound. That said, I've been a Sweetwater customer for eight years and they've never failed to provide top notch service and advice. (Full disclosure: I have no affiliation with the company whatsoever!)
I think Mitch encapsulates the most pertinent advice right at the end of this video. Namely, if you're just starting out, think about what you want to accomplish. Do your research (these days it's much easier), buy ONCE - try to get the best gear you can so you don't end up buying the same thing multiple times as you move up the food chain, and use your SW Sales Engineer as a resource.
This is the real deal - fascinating insights from a master craftsman - Thankyou
Good Vid love seeing other people setup
awesome video. Extremely insightful ! Thanks a lot.
Thanks for checking it out, mohamed sinbawy!
You look greta Mitch!!! Thank you for all this information
Had to click back on this video after clicking on the other video from two years earlier just to make sure it was the same guy. Looking good Mitch!
Love the Sweetwater vids. Mitch is cool and smooth with his knowledge. I think Sweetwater tutorials would be a hit on youtube if Mitch G. would host. Excellent!!!
Thanks for watching!
thanks so much for all the insight and perspective!
This is a really classy set up.
Excellent!!! Covers a lot...Very well done!!!
Thanks!
They should do a 2017/2018 updated case study video!!!
Great video. Any chance on the 3rd installment? I think many would be interested.
Excellent Vid , thanks 4 the deep insights M/s Mitch .. u rock .. sm
thoroughly enjoyed this!
Thanks for watching!
he did it right ... and a nice size screen in 2015 ( or you need multi monitor )
Hey Mitch
Another useful and awesome video.
Have you encounter any problems of just using a Mac mini with MAX RAM?
Anything else to consider after 8 months with this setup?
Any problems or things that you've changed since this video?
thanks
Charles
Hey, I've watched this video and the other one from two years ago... and ya know something? You guys never gave a 360 look around the room so we can see how your acoustic panels are laid out. Aside from the leaky room, Do you have any diffusers on the rear wall....or was there any need for it? once again.... I would love to get a once around view of the entire room.
Great vid. Thank you!
Excellent!
Very good video. Thanks !
Beatmaster Mitch rules
Mitch!! Come help me with my studio!! :) Love it bud!
Beautiful video!
Dude. You look great. Your half the man you were. Congrats
Hey Mitch, have you tried the Miktek CV4 mic? If so what do you think about that particular mic? Thanks!
Hey Mitch, great video!! was wondering how you route your hardware so you can use them as inserts in Pro Tools?... Probably a newbie question but hey... I'm a newbie ;o)
Hi Mitch! I'd like to purchase a Mac Mini from Sweetwater like yours. Could you provide the specs so I know what to purchase? Thank you!!
thanks for the tips
Mitch, you make great videos. I wish you would have a dedicated channel exclusively for IOS apps and making music using ipads and iphones alone or with computer interfacing. I am sure you have tons of action on a channel like that. I know you do an IOS Update every so often but that's not enough. You know you can record music using an IOS DAW plus there are apps that enable you to do crazy things. Check out the latest Audiobus 3, that added MIDI, and apps like AUM and apps that layer synths, one being Layr. Please check it out. You will want to make IOS videos. Thanks for all that you have done so far.
2 thoughts:
1) Awesome video and great insight into thinking about your own workflow when equipping a studio. Thanks!
2) Dude is rich as fuck.
Mitch,
Have you heard of the ADL 1500? It is a stereo LA2A clone that takes up 2U. I'm curious if you've heard of it or have any opinion about it. Thanks!
I haven't used the ADL, I'm sure it is a great piece of gear!
Inspiration
great vid! one question, does the komplete controller work with non NI kontakt libraries as well?
Yes, it will see any libraries in Contact. It will also function as a "generic" MIDI controller for non-NI software.
What is the song at the end? It's great. Thanks!
Great video.
Thank you!
so great this informations
What rpm is you mac mini? Does internal need to be 7200rpm like external for audio?
+Eric Lopez He said he has a solid state drive, so no 0 RPMs because there is no moving parts. It's quiet and fast, and SSD's are not super expensive these days.
I dont want to be too nitpicky here but isnt this vid about how to choose the right gear for your studio? This is mostly about why Mr. Mitch chose HIS gear. It does seem like a serious gear overkill for a personal home studio. I have learned some interesting stuff from this nonetheless.
I think you inadvertently landed on the message. Mitch is showing you HIS choices, because that's what he chose for his workflow and his requirements; it's up to you to choose what YOU need for your studio. Only you can really answer that question. Keep in mind, this is a "Case Study," which basically means this is a study of the particular case, and thus is not intended to be an end-all-to-be-all guide for gearing your own home studio.
Silverjerk Yes, I understand all that. My point was: the vids title is How to choose the right gear for YOUR studio. Why would I want to know why he chose his gear unless it applies to everyone watching? They should have made a vid going over things to consider when buying gear for your studio.
+brian patrick No one can really tell you what gear you will need, but he is demonstrating a philosophy in this video. He is showing us how to choose gear by explaining how and why he chose his gear.
1question love that desk who makes the desk and what model is the one you have .?
Sound Construction 6x3 - 1400.00. I put a list of items together of the components in his studio. You can find it by searching for my tag name.
How much cost you all this beautifull gears on your desk including the desk please ?
Over 15k$ for sure
Hey Mitch, what kind of desk is that?
+Alex Medina Also would like to know!
34:40
Love these guys. I am learning a lot.
Professor Mitch ought to have his own on line university teaching about recording. He just put the Dos Equis beer man to shame. Women desire him, men desire to be like him. Stay thirsty my friend. LOL Mitch your knowledge is mind blowing, congratulations on being the world's smartest recording engineer.
sweet, a Mac Mini!!!
WHATT did you do? Where is Mitch??!
What desk is that?
+Arsenios The Blogger 34:38
Mitch, how'd you get fit?
Kintrap Energy Backed by Success
got slim bro looking good
No word clock?
The Universal Audio Apollo x16 interfaces each have a word clock out port, if needed. I would venture to guess this system doesn't have much of a jitter issue with which to cope, though.
G R E A T Mitch!
Thanks Lubo! Hope all is well!
Congrats Mitch!!! Lookin good after the weight loss!!!
Share your secret...???
Grate vid. But money has to be no object if you wanna build a studio of this quality.
Mitch looking health af
Dude he''s right ...you have lost a lot of weight and look great !
Not related to the topic but surprisingly Mitch looks older after loosing weight. The fat somehow made him look younger to me.
Mam this guys has a real hard time keeping the weight off mee too...!!! he is back into fatty land.
