Quick Home Studio Tour

[artchel1]

r u from hawaii?

[IanArcuri]

preamp into the apogee? that works?

[InMyDomeMusic]

i hope that Arizona Falls over and Ruins Everything

[MrStevesays]

This is my door... :D

[iSNEVEET]

Mac has simplicity, and ease of use, but the overall look, and software applications has musicians bought, my dad used to own a PC, but it kept crashing and slowing down, I also think Mac is more reliable. Just my opinion. :)

[DjPeaceDestroyer]

y does everybody get the mac windows 7 is really good both windows and mac r really good but it seems like every artist has mac

[djdiscomikki]

@DjPeaceDestroyer Macs are more reliable, end of. My macbook pro has never crashed or caught a virus, and its portable obviously too. Plug it into a keyboard and a mouse and i can just stick it on me shelf between me monitors and im good to go! Never had a cpu intensive busy session go smoothly on a pc!

[soulcapacitor]

Nice setup, but not a great place for those BX5's. Wood reverbrates alot, which is why guitars are made out of them. :P You're a colored sound. You need to isolate them elsewhere. You've probably using the KRK's seeing this upload is over a year old, but it's good info to throw out there.

[hugodanner]

Awesome set up. I just have one question: the apogee duet doesn't have any midi connections, right? So, what piece of equipment do you use to record midi from your novation keyboard? Cheers

[thricegod1288]

the harddrive is filled with porn. dont kid us haha

[toedster]

You should bring your song volume down. For a sound artist you should no better than to bang both your intro and the song together at loud volumes;)

[ChiiefProductiiionZ]

will you be doing an update video of your studio wen your krks are set up and the other stuff?

[Meybizz]

i have a rode k2 and apogee duet, too

nice one

[Chicago10281]

Ever used a Samson mic or Neumann mic or AKG mic? Also, you ever used Sonar 8?

[klarkolofsson]

What a waste if you're making hip hop beats...

[adrianh63]

Very Cool!

You need to Set-up your 8 inch KRK's, they're going to make a big difference

You have very formidable gear........Have fun!

Looking forward to future "home Studio" videos

[csskafeen]

nice dude, really clean and nice area to record.

nothing sucks more than a crowded area where u gota struggle to get a good sound. looks like u got it all set up

[zakkthemusicdude]

Nice dude, I have the same model iMac, thinking about to soon upgrade to a MacPro 8-core processer with 32gb ram. (:

[clydegwaps1]

@zakkthemusicdude damn.,.,32 gb of ram is a shit.,.,you cant use all of it even for heavy games 4gb of ram for recording studio is enough,.,.

[steeloism]

since the Apogee doesn't have MIDI connectors on the breakout cable. How do you have your MIDI keyboard plugged into it?

Thanks

[dreamrecorder]

Pretty cool...

[janethhhhhh]

nice dude... a nice set up.... a worth set up.

[darrenguitar]

haha you have a lynx copy deodarant

[ADMProducer]

It's not called Lynxx in that country, dick. It's known as Axe in a lot of countries

[darrenguitar]

i know that i was only having a laugh . man you need to calm down

[MegaLockUp]

TWAT TWAT!!!!!!!!!!

How the fuck you get that iMac!!

Nice set up dude :D:D:D

[brianwurst1234]

Just call it a porn drive. thats where all your gigs went, right?

[bonebag]

every studio needs some D&G aftershave haha

[Critique07]

YO how does that SE Mic Reflexion filter work? Any issues with it. Madd heavy right? My room aint treated either so I was thinking of purchasing it soon. Is it worth it?

[BrodcastMiself]

why do you need a preamp? doesn't the duet serve as a interface and a preamp. Thanks! cool setup

[soldierbnice]

i have apogee but not sure if i should keep it. Its awesome but Apogee duet only has two inputs. What do you do when your fellow musicians come over to record?

[eoneal12]

Hook up a mixer!

[1984gopig]

cool man , nice

[amonster8mymother]

[Chicago10281]

[Dr0x8]

[seisendsix]

hey, nice video ! I see, you're recording with Logic =) . are you recording with 48 or 96 khZ? How many music tracks / instruments can u play in Logic with your iMac?

im looking for a new Mac. Im not really shure if I should buy a iMac or MacPro.

best regards !

[Dodgesrtx]

I would buy the Mac Pro because you can always upgrade it!

[nickbonline]

i have that desk. and nice set up.

[chinelo1]

nice setup bro. tell me something im creating my own home studio also. what is exactly the setup concerning your microphone

is that good while singing in the house, and what is that booth

[JSR2127]

Nice computer!!!!

[CapnBooBoo]

hi faggot, does the duet sound good when you RECORD, and i think yoru on Logic Pro Help forums right?

[PeterWestergar]

wow talk about SLAPPING THE BIATCH hard in the face.he is a faggot but why you call him that?

[Muunnos]

Hahaa. I've got pretty much similar setup plus I have that Dolce & Gabbana light blue EdT =) Good choices, tho I don't like rap or hip hop ;)

[damagi123]

hey man, the only thing i see that could be a problem is; the way you have those monitors setup, not only is the tweeter not pointed directly at your ears like it should be, the way they are sitting in that enclosed wood shelve will drastically change the way the bass frequencies are represented. When i had mine setup that way my mixes werent translating well at all to other systems or to the car.

Love your Mic tho, its perfect for what youre doin.

I just got a AT 4060 and its real hot too

[danyocummings]

damagi123

A couple months ago i moved into a new apartment and have since used my KRK monitors with studio monitor stands so that problem has been alleviated.

Thanks for the comment and you're definitely right, had i been mixing with the setup on this video it would've been inaccurate and sloppy.

In regards to your AT 4060, that mic is HOT! i was about to get it but chose the Neumann TLM 103 instead. The 4060 is amazing nonetheless

[x7tv]

great combination of gear man. can't go wrong with UA and Apogee. i actually got my final project tomorrow on a 4000 series SSL console running apogee A/D converters to get to ProTools...they make great converters they sound nutsssssss.

havent used the k2 but can't go wrong with rode. my fav mic is their tube NTK mic...

is the k2 tube or solid state?

[danyocummings]

Sick!!! dang i wish i could get my hands on HALF the gear you're messing with man... ahh in due time. You can soak up the knowledge and teach me everything you know!! haha The K2 is a tube btw. Good stuff

[bchamorro]

how do you like the K2 with the Duet?

[danyocummings]

I'm LOVING both very much! the K2 actually sounds nice and warm with the Duets preamp alone but the Universal Audio Solo/110 i use makes it even NICER! a KILLER combo if you ask me. My next upgrade is a Neumann TLM 49 but i'll wait till the 2nd album for that hehe. Def recommend the K2, Duet and Solo/110!!!

[bchamorro]

I just bought a Duet and im looking for a LDC. I only have enough for the mic and not enough for another preamp. I've been thinking about getting the Shure SM7B or the K2. What would you recommend?

strictly for vocals to be used with the duet. Maybe in the future i'LL buy the AU preamp.

[danyocummings]

Sweet! As for the SM7B vs. K2. It really depends on your application and since your doing strictly vocals i'd recommend the K2 over the SM7B. The Shure is obviously a tried and true mic but being that it's a dynamic mic you wouldn't really be able to hone it for vocal application as easily as the Rode, in my opinion. The warmth of the K2 is also something i found to be a HUGE selling point. For overall clarity, warmth and versatility i'd say the K2 gets my vote.

[Crstngtrplyr77]

You're kidding right? The SM7B is pretty much strictly a vocal mic. It was created for broadcast purposes but has found it's way into recording studios and is constantly used as a go to vocal mic.

[danyocummings]

Crstngtrplyr77:

I am well aware of the SM7B being a "go to" mic for vocals, i just prefer the K2 personally. That is my opinion having worked with both.

[ukeduke]

nice to see the stuff from a little pro, man. the reflexion filter is an inspiration for me to built something like that on my own. thanks for the vid and keep up making great stuff!

[JoshSizzle2007]

1 Terabyte! I hate you man!! I think I need one for all the movies Limewire has blessed me with.... Ya Feel Meh! Lmao! Nice Bro!!

[djm86]

[UOGboy]

Nice set up brah! You a mac guy huh? lol I love the mac! Never gives me any problems! Keep doing what you doing man! Hey is there anyway to get a copy of your CD, when it comes out, here on Guam?

[schawtyizzle]
