I am so happy for you man! You don't need fancy gear or a nice studio to earn my respect, but I am so glad to see young engineers like yourself having things work out nicely for them. I'm sure this is a dream a lot of us share. Cheers!!!
Pro-tip, Strongly suggest getting at least a 203 Bluair air filter with the VOC smoke stop filter, and leaving it on 24 hours for several months (They have a silent mode). Pretty expensive, but the fumes coming off all that new building material will last for a long time, and could take years off your life due to studies that show links to cancer (It's all the VOCs and anti-flammable coatings that are legally required). I have a VOC monitor in my studio, and whenever I bring new furniture in, it gives me an alert and stays high for weeks so I air it out, then put the filter next to it. Good luck with new amazing studio!
@@Whiteseastudio Good to know. I was worried about you, love your videos and watch nearly all of them! The off-gassing of VOCs in your new studio will be super high for a while. Hopefully you have good filters on your air con. I knew someone who didn't realise they needed to replace their filers every 4-6 months depending on the VOC load they are filtering!
A huge “YES” just came out when you said RME. I’ve been using Fireface 800 at least 14 years! Some minor work, hp socket, power supply issue after 10 years but would not swap it. The sound quality is superb. You will love RME products.
I only discovered your channel about a month ago, but man I'm really happy for you after watching this video. How good it must be to sit back in such a wonderful new studio! Enjoy!
Speaking about 500 series racks for your desk, I've had my eye on WesAudio TITAN NG500 because it's completely recallable when using the right 500 series modules. WesAudio makes their own high quality 500 series gear that is 100% analog but can be digitally controlled using plugins that allow for analog automation!
I remember when I first started to watch your videos, it was a very humble beginning then you reach this level of accomplishment, what an amazing journey! Congratulations to you sir! 🙌🏽
RME is a good choice! Very stable and reliable. Only had RME interfaces for the last 15-20 years, first Multiface, then Fireface and Fireface still going strong after 10+ years. One of the inputs needs cleaning, but for 10 years of use, I think that's expected :) Anyway, studio look and sounds nice. Have fun ;)
I just spent 900$ refurbishing my old Fireface 800 (new motherboard and PSU). A lot of people will think I'm crazy, but there's simply nothing as stable and easy to use as the TotalMix software from RME. I use Prism converters, but the Fireface is still the way I control all of my ins and outs. If you add the ARC USB, you have yourself an amazing monitor controller for a fraction of the price.
Fully agree... 13 years of RME Fireface UFX - about 300 Productions done and still working great! also ARC is a very cool extra controller (i use it only for headphones controlling and especially for talkback with the pedal switch connected)
No manufacturer is perfect. RME is prone to the same power supply failures as well. Might want read up on it. So they aren't really that much any better. Antelope Audio and Audient have hardware failures too.
@@eman0828 Yeah, it can probably happen. Never happened to me though, after 15-20 years of use, the only issue I had, was the issue with one of the inputs that needs cleaning. I have many friends who has the same interface, without any issues. But after a google search I do see some people have the issue. Just checked the price of a PSU for FF400. It's around 30€, which is not that bad. Dunno about the newer interfaces.
Been watching you for years now. Finally your studio looks nice and makes sense. Nice work. Like everyone else I'm waiting for details on the speakers. Good luck on filling those empty racks with some great gear very soon.
2 things: As for suggestions for a 500 series, I would HIGHLY recommend the Cranborne Audio Camden mic pres. Solid state and transformerless, which makes them arguably the most linear and transparent preamp you could find. Then, there's a "mojo" knob which gives you 2 forms of saturation options for a more "british" sound. They call the 2 kinds of saturation "thump" which produces staggeringly awesome results on bass guitar and/ or kick drum and then "cream". Which adds a vintage style bright saturation. It also has hi-z and line input, phase flip, 48v phantom power, and a HPF. All for $349!!! I have 8 channels of API 312's, 4 Neve 1073's, a UA LA-610 and a UA 4-710 twinfinity in addition to the passable pres on my digital console. I can safely say that my Cranborne's are unique to all of them and well worth 3 times the price per channel in the 500 series version. Second thing, I notice from what I've seen of your racks that you've invested a lot more time and money in outboard eq's over mic pres. Is that because you have the Neumann console and they just give you what you want? One other thing. When you look into buying a 500 series chassis, check out the Fredenstein models. I had a BAE 10 channel box that was more than 3 times the price and the Fredenstiens are great and have better routing options from one module to the next than the BAE had. Fredenstein make everything from a 1U 2 slot unit that sells for $279 to an 8 channel 2U box that sells new for $399 or the "pro" 8 channel which includes 2 VU meters and a headphone amp all for $499.
Usually those power supplies fail because of low quality electrolytic capacitors. If you replace them with good ones (e.g. Panasonic FC series) it will last much longer.
Congrats on finishing your build out. Quite a fancy upgrade. MOTU has become untrustworthy? Crap. Ive had MOTU for years and they’ve always been my go to devices. I have some very old converters that still work fine (MOTU 1224 and 24 IO). I stopped using them a few years ago and pulled them from my system last year since I rarely do anything outside of the box and replaced them with a simple Mackie 4 channel audio converter. It had gotten to the point where i only used two outs to a mixer and occasionally 2 ins. Guess I wont be getting MOTU anymore if I need to change anything.
1:18 I wasn't paying much attention directly to the video, and I thought he said "lets first talk about darude"... I almost died before I realized I completely misheard him lol
Do yourself a favor a get a high quality 500 rack. It makes a big difference in the sound, especially the noise floor. I'd recommend the Rupert Neve Designs 10 space rack. We have 2 of them and a cheaper 10 space and the difference is easily apparent. Good luck with the new setup! Greetings from Germany.
Congratulations man!! the Studio update looks fantastic! I have really enjoyed watching your channel the past year. I like how brutally honest you are with your gear reviews. Wishing you much success from the U.S! Cheers
2031 Wytse, "So guys, I have officially gone with a new mobile setup.

Wait wait, check this out, lemme EyeShare this mix room quick bro. Check! 256 LA2A's, you can put it on anything. Literally. Hahaha. 200IQ. "
Bummer on the embargo. I have been waiting to hear you tell us about those awesome speakers. I guess we will have to wait but looking forward to the discussion.
Fully recommend RME as main studio hub! I have RME HDSP AES with Apogee Rosetta 200, Apogee DA16X, Benchmark DAC1 all clocked with Apogee Big Ben. Super stable setup 15 years almost💪🏻
I'd love to see a video on the Gheilmetti patchbays, it's quite difficult to find info on them online. How they work, how they are soldered/connected at the back, different types of modules you can use, pros and cons, why you chose this vs TT or XLR patch bays etc
You make great videos. Keep doing things your way. Don't get caught up in the way everyone else does things. Thanks. I am very happy for you. You have such a well thought out studio.
Congratulations on your new studio, beautiful job! Love your channel! In regards to a 500 series rack, I use the Radial. It's one of the most powerful racks you can buy and has a ton of connectivity options including 25 pin D-Sub, a switch that patches one module into the next, a link switch to combine stereo-ready modules and Omniport. Well built and very versatile, good price, I love it!
Wytse... I clicked the link and it just made my day to see you so happy. And when the video came up, it was an instant impresser. Nice job on that...and the best version of "Sandstorm" ever. Congratulations, and I'm looking forward to your next video. Oh, and please guard your hearing,... from someone who knows, etc.
after seeing your journey up to this point over the years I gotta say, congratulations man. It looks absolutely fantastic.
Really ?
The only thing that's missing is the "Music is Love Forever" poster.
Looking good Wytse! Wishing you much success with your new setup.
I can hardly wait for the next Darude demo! Kidding aside, what a dream setup you have. Congratulations.
Speaker company: “How many NS10s would you like to purchase to hang up as decorations?”
Wytse: “Yes”
Looks awesome 🤩
I am so happy for you man! You don't need fancy gear or a nice studio to earn my respect, but I am so glad to see young engineers like yourself having things work out nicely for them. I'm sure this is a dream a lot of us share. Cheers!!!
You're killing me, I wish I knew what speakers those were.🤣

I have superb ventilation in the studio, the air in the room is replaced every 3 minutes…

I don't know exactly what you are talking about but that sounds way too dangerous for any potential reward you may get out of that risky set-up!
@@RonnieVaiArovo Ha ha, I agree! Wytse should just sell it all and work from a local forest. Or... wait... Are you being serious?

+1 for the GroupDIY rack. Built one 10 years ago and it's been solid. Plus it has the 24V rails for higher headroom.
RME is a good choice!

Can't go wrong with RME. Good sounding converters and preamps, very stable drivers on both Mac and PC and the TotalMix software is super flexible.
No manufacturer is perfect. RME is prone to the same power supply failures as well. Might want read up on it. So they aren't really that much any better. Antelope Audio and Audient have hardware failures too.

Wich you much pleasure with all in the new studio. 🤗
This is now officially a spaceship and I love it! 🧡
I just put my monitor in my studio on a swivel as well. Best thing I've ever done.
bro.. i think, how does it feel to hear a psytrance hitech 200 bpm in this studio with this sound system... thats...well a piece of heaven!
Can definitely hear the difference in the room sound on this compared to your pre rebuild vids, congrats!
I'm betting the speakers are able to emulate other speakers by switching off drivers and changing the crossover points.
Thats about the drivers, not external stuff
I was just about to post the exact same statement, maybe even emulating different spaces too.....
@@birdster2007 In emulating a other emulation
yup - if they dont then this video has sprung a good idea for someone :D
@@higltypig one or two companies do this already.
Been watching you for years now. Finally your studio looks nice and makes sense. Nice work. Like everyone else I'm waiting for details on the speakers. Good luck on filling those empty racks with some great gear very soon.
Just from hearing you talk I can tell how great the room sounds! Great work!
Killer new studio bro!! Congrats. Have lots of fun with it.
Amazing, mate!! Very happy with you for your new environment!
Congrats man. All your hard work is paying off. Must be a very exciting time for you. All the best!

Great work! Congratulations and happy mixing!
All the best to you and hopefully a bright and successful future!
Well Done !!! Awesome space . Congratulations .
New Studio 🔥🔥🔥
My old RME fireface 800 interface is still working perfectly after 16 years of daily use.
Great Job!!! LOVE YOUR NEW SET UP! CONGRATS!!!
8 motu converters still going without any issues here for now over 15 years. Something sounds off with the mains if they blow the powersupplies.
Congrats!!! What a BEAUTIFUL layout. Looks like you have all you need....(for a few days)...but you have room to expand...Great job!
Usually those power supplies fail because of low quality electrolytic capacitors. If you replace them with good ones (e.g. Panasonic FC series) it will last much longer.
Congrats Wytse! What a great studio, and thanks for sharing the process of building it.
I would be very happy to have such an awesome room. Great work getting there!
Congrats on finishing your build out. Quite a fancy upgrade.
MOTU has become untrustworthy? Crap. Ive had MOTU for years and they’ve always been my go to devices. I have some very old converters that still work fine (MOTU 1224 and 24 IO).

Just one word: congratulations!
1:18 I wasn't paying much attention directly to the video, and I thought he said "lets first talk about darude"... I almost died before I realized I completely misheard him lol
Can't go wrong with RME. Very happy Babyface and UFX in my Ableton setup. Just works and latency to die for.
Oh and they sound great too. Espc. the Babyface Pro FS sounds amazing for the money they ask.
Congratulation for your new studio!
Congratulations! So good seeing you using REAPER still.
For a 500 series rack I would look into Cranborne Audio. A lot of impressive adat routing capabilities
Those bass traps look freakin' evil lol completely sick studio...dammmmmmmmmn I cannot believe it, just a dream place. :O
Congrats on the new studio
Very beautiful setup! Congrats!
Wish you good health and all the best in new studio
Well done mate!
Very nice! well done for your new installation!
amazing work man. been watching you for a long time!
Looks fantastic. Congratulations with this beautiful new make over
Beautiful studio White Sea, could not be happier for you 😉👍
Would have loved to see the room as a whole and not just parts of it.
Bruh....that is super nice bruh!!!!! We are are clapping with you man!!!! Nice...really nice!!!!

The patch bay is very neat and well thought out. I like neat patch bays. It all looks neat and well thought out.
Congratulations. I have been watching the last two videos with excitement. The studio turned out very cool. I like your individualism.
Happy new control room. 🎉🥳

I recently got the RME UFX and I love it. I am also using the 16 channels of ADAT to record full bands.
Love the new studio look.
Lookin for the tea on them monitors as soon as you can my guy. They look intense
Congrats Wytse! Looks awesome buddy. Best wishes and huge success in the revamped room!
Schitterend Wytse, nogmaals gefeliciteerd😎👍✌️👊
Amazing! Congrats you done a great job 🤘
