 To celebrate creative source reaching 100,000 subscribers, I reached out to some of my favourite partners so that we can say thank you to you for all of your amazing support. For seven days in a row, I launched Giveaways for a total of 24 prizes worth over $6,000 so that you can get the chance to have your hands on some great studio gear and software. I want to say a huge thank you to everybody who has taken part and now is the time to announce the winners. Hi folks, I'm Mike and I hope you're well. I am so, so happy to be here and so super excited about this show as well. Nice to see so many people in the chat. Thank you. I just love having you all here. I really hope that there's some winners in the chat as well. I'm crossing my fingers for everyone in the chat. I'm a little bit biased towards you guys. We are here to announce the 24 winners for my recent seven days of Giveaways. It's just been an absolute joy to run this competition and hopefully some of you get the chance to get your hands on some hardware and software, which is going to make a big difference to your production. So fingers crossed there. I want to say a big thank you to the sponsor of the show, DistroKid. DistroKid have been a big part of the journey of creative source so far. They're big supporters of the channel and I just want to do a quick shout out, especially to Daniel over at DistroKid. He's just an amazing guy. I'm sure that my guests would agree that he's one of the just nicest guys in the industry to actually work with. So big thanks to DistroKid. We'll be talking about them here and there during the show. But if you don't know about them, you can follow this link, sign up for to use them and get your music distributed across all of the main places where you'd want to sell music on the internet. You'll get a 7% discount. If you follow that link, it's in the description as well. As I say, a huge thank you to the people who are in the live chat. Let's just say a quick hi to some of them. What have we got here? We've got Simon here from Cornwall in the UK. I don't know what time it is in the UK. It must be around about close to midnight, 11pm, something like that. So thanks for staying up late for that. We've got someone here called Leonard Rogers. Nice to see you here, Leonard, Angry Red Planet. I like that one. What a great username that is. And a quick hi to Elijah Fong, who is from Fiji. We have prizes going out to all kinds of people around the world, actually. And we're going to get on with that soon. But I just want to first of all say that, although I've said lots and lots of thanks to people who have subscribed to the channel, viewers of the channel. And I've also obviously said my thanks to the people who have sponsored for this giveaway, the companies who are sponsored. I haven't really delved into the fact that one of the great pleasures of being a YouTuber, what a weird thing to call yourself. One of the great pleasures of that over the last three years has been for me to get to know other people who also make music related recording content for YouTube. What I've found with the people that I have on the show today is not only do they have fantastic channels, which I admire, but also they're great people as well behind the scenes. I've got to know all these guys and they've become friends. And that's been really important. It's found an incredibly sort of giving and sharing community in that way. So it's just I'm going to bring them in one at a time. And before I do that, because I've got my notes here, which I'm not following very well, I just wanted to say quickly that if you're watching the show to find out if you're a winner, you can find out in the show. I haven't emailed any of the winners yet. There were some people discussing whether I've already emailed the winners and they know, and is this a waste of time? No, I haven't emailed any of the winners. So the first time that we're going to hear about the winners for this giveaway is live on the show here. So I was talking about my YouTube buddies when I started out and had 300 subscribers. There was a guy, an Australian YouTuber who I'd been watching. I thought he had a great channel really down to earth, really straightforward. And he had 6,000 subscribers at the time. And I thought, oh, he's the big cheese. He's a big deal. If I ask him to do a collaboration with me, he's probably just going to ignore my email or ignore my message or something like that. And in fairness, he tried, but he gave in eventually. And his name, of course, is Mr. Pete Johns. Good day, Pete. You just wouldn't give up. You wouldn't take no for an answer. You just kept coming at me and I'm like, fine, let's do it. No, was that money that finally won you over? I think so. No, I think you said, I'm Australian. And I'm like, you know what, that'll do. We'll have it. No, it was no one had actually asked me to collaborate at that point. So what I've never told you is that I was actually kind of stoked. I was like, oh, someone wants to do something with me. So it was very cool. And, you know, as as you know, and as many folks on the channel know, you and I have both sort of carved out very similar journeys over the last three years of learning and becoming YouTubers. Do you like that word, Mike? Do you like being a not comfortable with the word YouTuber really or influencer, both of them give me a little bit of a cringe. But, you know, once in a while, though, I had my eyes tested the other day and no disrespect to Susie there. But I have my eyes. I have my eyes tested the other day. And I just, you know, people say, what do you do? What do you do on YouTube? It's it's a little it's a decent conversation piece at times here and there. People go, oh, really, I've never met a YouTuber before. You know, it is true. It's sad when I go to my account and he said, oh, what do you do? How do you make money again? It's like, no, I don't understand not even the people that really should understand how it actually all works. But I go I go with content creator or music educator bikes. I like to sound sophisticated. But no, we're just we're just blokes who rant on the Internet. We are. Yeah, we're very, very fortunate. But I will say a big thank you to Pete for it's been good. It's been a great three years. We've we've sort of shared a journey together and it's been a lot of fun. And I'll also say that Pete gave me some advice early on, which which is just always stuck with me. And it just comes back again and again and again. I think it was good advice and he used to say to me, Mike, play the long game, play the long game. Don't just look for those viral videos. And as it turns out, I haven't had a viral video, maybe because. But but he was absolutely right. You know, you just have to and and I think this transfers to making music as well, you know, is is that play the long game. Don't just look for the for the quick hits that you can get. It is a marathon, not a sprint, after all, for sure. Absolutely. Now, as much as I would love to chat about these things with you, I'm just going to say hi to all of our other guests quickly. And then we're going to sort of shrink you all down from and bring up at different parts. Does that is there any innuendos in the sound of like there should be an innuendos? It sounds like fun. I'm I'm in here. Try anything twice. Someone who's been who's who's chats with me a lot on Facebook, Messenger and stuff. And we share a lot of ideas and he's just such a nice guy. I love what he does. And he's you. I want to mention, Pete, quickly, you're well known. Did we mention this last time on your show? You're well known as the guy who made the video about how to clean your headphone socket out on on your iPhone. That was your claim to fame. This gentleman, it's a little bit about you, I'm going to say in that he's well known for room treatment. And his name is Dan. He's the lonely rocker. There he is. If you if you want to know folks about room treatment, then Dan is your man. He's got several videos on it. But it's from a very approachable thing, Dan, you do kind of a DIY how to make yourself thing. I love that. It's really good. Anyway, how are you today? I'm OK. I'm hanging in there. Good to see you. And I'm just thrilled to be celebrating with you and giving away some free stuff. Well, you're giving away free stuff, but nice to be here. It's a lot of fun giving away free stuff. Now, I'd love to dwell on you, Dan, but I'm just going to quickly say hi to everyone who's in here, as I say. And the next one, you're a Canadian, Dan. Nice to have Canadians in here. A massive proportion of my audience are Canadians, and I can tell you just to get people a little bit excited that I happen to know that, in fact, there are some Canadians amongst the winners of the giveaway. So nothing to do with it. No, no, no. And another wonderful Canadian that we have. This person is I've got to know him a little bit more recently, but I can tell you he's an incredibly wonderful and giving person. He's given me a lot of his time and advice about several different things and and love him to bits and really love what he does on his channel. It's just very inspiring. I regularly steal his ideas as I do from all of you. And his name is Chris Lam from Mixed Down Online. Nice to see you here, Chris. Nice to see you all. That's exciting. Look at this. Another Canadian in the house. I love that. That we have the Canadians on this side. See, we just need a referee about right here. And then we should be good to go. Absolutely. There you go. Chris, how do you say? How do you say welcome to everybody in the live stream? Just can you say that in French? Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yes. Bienvenue tout le monde. That's a live stream. French people in French, they kind of like using English terms. You know, yeah, yeah. I mean, why would you come live stream live stream? Why would you come up for a new word with that? I mean, so there you go. It's wonderful stuff, wonderful stuff. It sounds it always sounds much more sexy in French. I believe even when you talk into a counten, it's like you're all you're all gasping just all the time because it's in French. Is that what happened? But now, to be fair, I have the Quebec, like the French-Canadian accent, which is not the same as in France. Oh, OK. OK. Folks, I've got links for all of these YouTubers in my description down below, by the way, I definitely recommend that you subscribe to all of their channels. And one of the people I especially want you to subscribe to is this gentleman. His name is Ricky T Brown. I think last time I looked, Ricky, he's a new he's the newest YouTuber amongst us. I'm pretty sure the last time I looked, you had 83 subscribers, Ricky. This was a couple of days ago. I want everybody in the live chat to follow that link in the description to Ricky's channel, get him over the hundred. I want to see him over the hundred subscribers by the end of this live stream. OK, so just follow the link in the description, open a new tab, hit subscribe. I'm just going to go over there myself now, Ricky, just to monitor the situation. He's on eighty five subscribers for goodness sake. Bring yourself some good bring yourself some good karma, folks, and go and subscribe over there. I think he's got a couple of videos, but we'll be talking to Ricky a little bit about his journey and how we got to know each other later on. And finally, for anybody else who we have to announce their names later as a winner, who has anything remotely European sounding, apart from French, is we're going to call on this guy. His name is Marlon and he hails from Holland. Good to see you, Marlon. How are you doing? I feel like we could do like the Eurovision Song Contest now, couldn't we? We could be the judges from the Eurovision Song Contest. How are you, Marlon? I think he's. Oh, he's on mute. He's not on mute. There's the. I am on mute. Yeah, for folks who don't know, Marlon actually does have a channel about audio and recording and all that kind of stuff. He's on top of his game. Definitely check out the link in the description of his channel as well. Marlon, nice to see you. What I will say about Marlon as one of the people who's in, you know, one of my Facebook chats of groups is he, despite his demure appearance, is one of he has one of the most dark cutting senses of humour that I know of anyone. If you like dark humour, just add Marlon on Facebook and just hit him up and say, just have a laugh with me, Marlon. He'll cut you to shreds in a moment. He's good at it, very humorous with along along the way. So, Marlon, thanks for that. You've given me lots of entertainment over the last couple of years. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you. So if any put downs are needed during the show, I think Marlon's meant. I don't know if all will happen tonight. I'm doing my best to stay awake. So. Oh, oh, am I boring? Well, that's not a question. Open that door. OK, look, what I'm going to do now, just to help the folks who are in the live stream along because I'm sure they're eager to find out if they have won anything or not is go on with the first announcement for winners. We've got a few to go through 24 all in all. And I just want to remind people about this prize, first of all, the first prize that we had up from the first video was from Soleimani. Let's see what they were offering up. And it's that that I have for you as a prize in this giveaway. Yes, the lucky winner will win a full license for Melodyne Five Studio, valued at around about six hundred and ninety nine US dollars. Let's go. Well, that went well. With what's he called himself? I don't know. Poof. The guy took all the prizes for himself. And that's it. He's gone. So let's let's talk about the real YouTube here. Pete, that was really, really interesting. After a few different versions to suit different Stop. Stop. Very best. Is that happening for everyone or just me? Such a professional, such a professional. That was that was so much fun. If anyone didn't catch that Melodyne comes in a few different versions. So the prize involved anyway, just to recap, is their top one. It's Melodyne Five Studio. We are going to find out who the winner of that is right away. And I am going to let's see. I'm going to ask. Let me just have a look at the name first. Oh, OK. Well, Chris. I think we're going to go over to Chris here. This should be easy for you, Chris. I feel like it should be you saying this one out. I'll put it up on the screen now. This is the lucky winner of our first prize, which is Melodyne Five Studio, and that winner is. Simon Moreau. Oh, you see. Well done. Congratulations, Simon. I was going to say Simon. Hands up. Who uses Melodyne here? Yeah. Oh, Pete's got his hand down. Dan's got his hand down. And Chris, Chris, tell me about that. Have you got an objection to me? I always sing on pitch. I don't need to. No, no, no. I just don't sing. I work with very audio in Cubase, so I don't need Melodyne. Ah, they've got something built into Cubase, have they? Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. So I used to work with Melodyne, but since that came into Cubase, I just switched right away. Oh, interesting. I've been using very audio since then. Cool, cool, cool, cool. Awesome. Look, we've just had a bit of a late arrival here. I'm just going to bring her in and say hi. It's a bit of chaos here. Welcome to the show, Jade. Hey, Jade. Hello. I'm going to try and make you full screen in a moment. Welcome, Jade. Lovely. I've just done a big introduction for everyone. I've just done a big introduction for everyone. I've just done a big introduction for everyone. Ain't it's a joke. Jade. Your introduction is, first of all, I want to say, I've just been watching, before I came on here, I was watching your live stream. So thanks for coming over straight from there. Lovely to. I'm going to ask you about that a little bit later, actually, because it looked like a really great larger. But by the way, if you do follow Jade's link in the description and check out her channel, one thing I think she does an excellent job of, better than any of us is going cross-eyed, is interviewing people. She's got just the right, that sort of, what's the personality for interviewing people. She does a great job. I always enjoy watching your interviews. And the great thing, you know a person's a good interviewer when you don't know who the guest is, but you watch it anyway because the interview goes, it's just fascinating. You draw people in that way. So thanks, Jade. We'll have a little bit of a chat about that a bit later on. I'm going to minimise you again now. Yay! I love interviewing people, by the way. It makes me so happy. I get to share people's music and who they are. It's just wonderful. I love it. It is. And it looked like you were having a great time today with that interview. We'll chat about that later. I thought that it was an interesting week from different perspectives for me. I had a really busy week. One thing I didn't have time to check out was basically the new Apple announcement. There was some sort of Apple announcement. And as I was busy, I had laundry. I had to wash dishes, take the kids to school. And I didn't find out anything about it whatsoever, actually. I just knew that there was some new Apple thing that came out. So I'm just going to quickly go over to a couple of people who I saw make sort of social media things about this. And those two people, I've got a lot of things to control here, guys. Just hanging with me. No. No. No, I didn't mean to do that. That was what I meant to do. Hang on, Jade. Sorry. Sorry. You're going to go, oh, God. Why doesn't it make this easier? The whole thing? Who am I getting rid of here? I don't need Ricky. I don't need Chris. Hey, here we go. Those were the old buggers. So you guys did quickly just tell us about Apple. What's the highlight for you, Pete? Highlight for me is that at the Apple Mac M1, they went pro. They went max. Now they've gone ultra, which is just basically an absolute intel killing machine. It is the Mac Studio, the brand new Mac, which is like a Mac Mini on steroids. And yeah, it's going to be, well, people are very excited. The people on the Mac side are very excited about the fact that it's going to be a game changer for folks that work in studios, especially if you do lots of, you know, high res 8K video and the like. We also got the new iPhone SE3 and the new iPad Air. So, yeah. Don't care about those. Dan. Oh, I'm going the wrong way here. Dan, you've already placed an order. I have placed an order. I've been waiting two years to buy a new computer. I've been running my old 2013 Mac Pro and this just hasn't been that mid tier desktop machine. It's been a, I've been saying for a couple of years what happened to the middle because the Mac Pro became like, you know, super, super, super expensive. And I was close to it. I said, I just couldn't just because once I priced it out with everything I needed, it was like 12 to $15,000. So I waited, hoping that they would launch something. And there was supposed to be a Mac mini pro. And they, it actually leaked the day before the Mac event. So I heard the thought, I go, no, it can't be anyways, as Pete mentioned, the ultra, which is basically two M one max chips fused together. So they have two versions of the, the, the Mac studio. There's the M one max version and then there's the M one ultra version. So I stuck my hand deep in my pockets and I ordered the ultra and not the top, like the 48 core version. But it's going to be still like you're going to spend like $6,000 on the computer. We're talking Canadian dollars, but you can't upgrade anything in it. So you just basically had to throw everything in that you could afford 64 gigs of RAM, two terabyte SSD. Hopefully that will serve me for the next five, six years and you won't hear me bitching for a while. Going from your 2013 to that is going to be like a rocket ship. My videos are going to be done before even get out of bed. You have enough power there to power several virtual guitar plugins. I imagine. So good, good on you. Daniel, you don't even have to play guitar anymore. Well, they claim you could do 18 streams. Yeah, true. They claim you could do 18 streams of 8k pro res video 18. I will see. I don't do that. I don't even do 4k. So I think I'll be fine. Good stuff. Good stuff. Well, it's nice to see the Apple getting people excited still, even if it's not me. We're going to move on to our next winner. And I might as well just keep you two up here to announce the next winner and let's have a look at the name. Oh, this should be fun. Okay. So let's just have a little reminder. Hopefully this will work this time about what this prize is. This was the second giveaway I did. It was from Audient. Let's have a look. I have to tell you today may be your lucky day because Audient have generously offered three prizes for this giveaway. They have offered one EVO 8 audio interface, one ID for Mark 2 audio interface and one ID 14 Mark 2 audio. That's pretty cool, isn't it? I've got Dan here. Good day, Dan. How are you going? It's going to be your job to read out the name here, Dan. So I'm just going to pull you up here for the first of these three. This is incredibly generous of Audient to do this. Really like this. I've used all of these interfaces and I think you reviewed one of these. Didn't you, Dan? Yes. The ID 4, I did one on that. We did a little collaboration on just teaching recording guitars at home. So that was sort of the centerpiece. Cool. I've just looked at the name of the first winner and I've had a change of heart. Dan, I'm not going to have you read this one out. I've decided I'm going to go to Ricky for this one. Good day. Ricky, how are you going? Oh, brother. You're on name reading. Name reading. Jesus, he's here. So let's pull this first one out. This one's for you, Ricky, to read out. This is the winner of the fever. Go for it. Oh, it is. Right. Hold on. Hans Bo-Henriksen. Not too bad. I think you did an OK job. That was easy, mate. That was easy. What say you, Marlon? How was the pronunciation there, Marlon? I think it was great. I was hoping for a bit more of a bow. Hans Bo-Henriksen. That was so, so true. Well, that was nice. Let's go on to the next one. I'm just going to randomly pull people up here. We have a Canadian up next. And this is nice because I actually recognise the name of this person. And I'll say that I recognise that she is in my Facebook group. So let's find out who it is. Now, all the ladies from my Facebook group are going, oh, it must be me because it's hard to... Hold two of them. Hold two of them. But anyway, let's have... You can see the winner is from Canada. Let's have Dan read this one out. Alicia. Oh, my God. I should wear my glasses. I can't see. Alicia. Hold her. You're slow. I thought I... I'm trying to look all cool without glasses here, but it failed miserably. Congratulations, Alicia. And we don't represent Canada. And finally, Marlon, if you could read this one out for me, this is for the ID14 Mark II interface. Stanley Piantek. There you go. I almost read that as piano tech. The first time I... There's a company called... There's a product called Piano Tech and I thought, oh, this must be one of those fake, you know... And then I was like, oh, no. It could be a new starter for board games or Piantek. Okay, let's insult the winners. So good job to everyone who entered there. Just in case I didn't make it clear, I will be emailing all of the winners as well. So their names will be announced here, but I will be emailing you directly after the show, and then I will put you in contact with the sponsors who will get your prizes to you. Okay, so the good thing is you'll know it's not a fake email from a scammer because you can watch this show and see your name read out. Moving on, I just want to quickly, as I say, just I did mention at the beginning of the show that one of the great sponsors of Creative Source has been DistroKid, and I quickly like to remind people about the great discount they can get from DistroKid if they follow the link. If you do follow the link in the description down below, it's going to take you to a special page on DistroKid with this yellow banner at the top. That banner is letting you know that you're going to get a further 7% discount of your first year if you sign up here. And let's face it, it's already very cheap. If we scroll down, we can see that year's membership is $19.99 per year for an unlimited number of albums and songs. And so long as it's your own music, there are no extra charges, and you get to keep all of the royalties from the various platforms. Platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Tiktok, Pandora, Amazon, Instagram, Tidal, iHeartRadio, Deezer and more. Jade Star is looking at her phone currently. I was just entering the competition via WhatsApp. Hang on. What's your name? I love it. Jade, you... I was just, as I say, was just watching your live stream before I came on air, really early actually in the morning for me. It's kind of interesting to wake up. Oh, where'd he go? Did he disappear forever? No, I'm all alone. No. I can't deal with it. What do I do? Do I dance? La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. Where's he gone? Somebody bring him back. He's disappeared. Is it just me? Or have I crashed? What's happening? Anyway, all right, let's try and... You can still hear me, right? We're still good. Hello. I'm Mike, and I hope you well. DistroKid. Do you know about DistroKid? They support my channel as well. So did you... Oh, oh. I'm a pity back one moment, guys. I don't know if you can see me or not. Dan, can you see me? I can see you. Oh, you can see me? Okay. Because everything froze for me there. I couldn't control anything. I couldn't click on anything. We're really testing the system here. It's going to be interesting. I had Jade on there. Then Jade completely froze for me. Couldn't see what was happening there. But what I'm going to do is just go to a different segue until I can be sure Jade is back. So quickly, I'm going to bring up Mr Chris Salim and also... I'll try to stay on, okay, Mike? I know. I'll try to stay on. I'll try to stay on. Okay. Marlon is with me. Okay. I'm not going to be stuck alone if something happens. Actually, Mike, when you froze and Jade took over and actually improved the show... Thank you so much for that. What happened for me is all of you froze for me. And I was like, I'm the only one on the show now. I couldn't do anything. But anyway, let's move on. Another big announcement that happened very recently was that I saw that Cubase went from version 11 to version 12. Okay? Yeah. And both of you guys are Cubase users. The last time I used Cubase, I think was version 9. I thought it was great back then. Just really, really... It's always, always been a very, very solid door all the way through. I was having a chat on Peach Show last night and I was saying I'm actually not a fanboy of any particular door. Whatever works for you is the best door to use. All of the main doors are actually really good. I mean, they're all really, really good. But you guys have chosen Cubase. So what I want to do is I would just want to find out in a nutshell. I'll go to Chris first. If you're going to choose one highlight, Chris, what's it going to be for version 12 of Cubase? Oh, multi-track audio warp, I would say. Multi-track audio warp. I have two that I like a lot, two features that I'm in love with, but this is one of them. What is multi-track audio warp? Go. Oh, man. Okay. Warping is kind of an editing thing that you do straight on the wave file, okay, without slipping in the audio events. So you just go straight in and you just move the wave. Basically, I'm trying to keep that simple, but it's just a matter of moving waves around to tighten up a sound, for example. So this is the kind of stuff that is practical if you want to just kind of even quantized or just to move the timing of an audio, basically. And back with previous versions, we had that on single tracks. So you just go into an audio event where you go straight into the editing window and you just put your warping points and you move things around, but now you can do it multi-track. So you can just do everything in the folder and straight from the project window without going into an audio editing window. So it's very easy to access. You put on your points, you move things around. Very practical for live drums. Yeah, I was going to say. Like a bunch of stuff. Yeah, you can actually quantize straight if you want. I'm not a big fan of quantizing live drums, but I do everything manually. But it's a very practical and fast way to just move things around. If you just need to tighten up just one thing together, you can just do it with multi-track audio warp. Sounds very good. That audio warp actually sounds really good to my surprise. It really sounds good. The algorithm they use is actually pretty impressive. Because that's always the issue with any kind of audio stretching which you're ultimately doing there is that sometimes you get lucky in my experience in different duels and it sounds okay, and other times you're like... Cubase has nine algorithms, I think. Something like that. At times stretching. Something like that. So you can choose and go through which one sounds best. My highlights are actually the audio warp engine, obviously. It was just so good. But I really dig the new Crossfaith editor. Sounds a bit boring, but that one is so good. I think that part of the dough from Nuendo, the few times I worked in Nuendo, it's way more flexible. You really go into detail how exactly you want your Crossfaith. That's very powerful. One of the big assets. And of course the new licensing system, which is still a bit wonky because it works for Cubase and it works for Dorrico, if I'm correct. But all other Steinbeck products still use the dongle. So that's a bit... But I do like that I can switch now easily between my PC and my Mac, and have Cubase running on both on a single license. So you don't have to... I think you can have up to three licenses now with that one license you buy. So actually you can run on three computers on three different locations. So that's actually a really good deal, I would say. Cool. Very good stuff. Nice news there. Check out both Marlon and Chris have done videos on the new release of Cubase 12. Check out their videos. The links are in the description. I hope to get Jade back so that we can continue that conversation. Everyone's looking a little bit frozen to me in my little previous but we'll see. Jade, please hang in there. I'm going to get back to you soon. Let's get on with announcing the next round of winners. This was from Plug-In Boutique and they put up, I think, 10 prizes all in all. So we're going to announce all 10 of those folks right now. Let's have a look and see what those prizes are. This giveaway, they have generously offered 10 full licenses for plugins and software valued at over $700. These include Plug-In Boutique Scaler 2, Plug-In Boutique Big Kick, Plug-In Boutique Virtual CZ, Plug-In Boutique Carbon Electra, Plug-In Boutique Stereo Savage, Plug-In Boutique Radio, Loop Masters Chords, Loop Masters Bassmaster, Loop Cloud Annual Subscription plus 7200 points. Okay, very, very cool. And I've just seen that Jade has been able to pop back in. I'm so happy about that, Jade. Sorry about that. Everyone else could see me except you. I know. For me it was like... Send mine to the internet. No. It's terrible. Me and Pete Johns are suffering internet-wise at the moment. I'll tell you, here in Strayer the politicians didn't put a lot of emphasis on it about 10 years ago and we're suffering for it now. But anyway, there you go. That's my little rant. Jade, I'm glad you're back because you could read out some of the names here that we've got for the winners for the Plug-In Boutique giveaway prizes. Here's so, let's start off. I'm just going to go round up. I'm going to put myself up there. We're going to start off with me, then we're going to go Chris, then we're going to go Marlon, then we're going to go Jade. Okay, let's rattle through these. Starting off, I am happy to congratulate with Scaler to Mr. Bob Fossum from the USA. Congratulations, Bob. I haven't tried Scaler at all yet, but I hear lots of really good things about it. People say that once they get it, it's like, how do I ever do without it? So that's going to be a good one. Chris, up to you for this one. This one goes to Dragon Komanovic from Serbia. Well done on the pronunciation there. Congratulations to Dragon there. Thank you so much for entering. Next Marlon. Steve Russell from America. That was easy. Okay. Steve Russell added. Steed. Oh, Carlton Saint Tenders. With an appropriate level of reverb there. Thank you so much for that, Jade. Nice to see you. I was chatting with someone the day from Mexico and they were saying how much they enjoy the channel. It's sort of a bit of a buzz sometimes, isn't it, guys? When you're a YouTuber and then people from far off countries are watching your stuff and it's sort of like, oh, that's so cool. People in Mexico watch me. And one of the people in Mexico who watch me is Mr. I'm going to get this wrong, aren't I? Fred Charlo. It could be Charlotte, but I'm going to say Charlo. Okay. Congratulations, Fred for winning a stereo savage there, moving on. Chris, this is yours. Bruce Jammet from Spain. Congrats. You get the Spanish ones, don't you? You get the Spanish ones, don't you, Chris? Congratulations for that one. Radio, I don't know much about this plug-in, but it looks sort of pretty good. Haven't tried it at all, but congratulations. Bruce there. Marlon. Keith Britton. Britton. Keith Britton, mate. That's right. Congratulations, Keith. You've won chords and then Jade. Tim Friary. Congratulations. Jade is so good at just doing all this stuff. I'm obviously hopeless at just running live streams, but Jade is just very on the ball and has sound effects and all kinds of stream deck. Exactly. If I had a stream deck, it would just sit on my desk and I wouldn't use it. It would just be there for eye candy. But anyway, that's another story. Let's move on. Finally, the last prize from the plug-in boutique section of these giveaways is going to be read out by Chris. And this is the Loot Cloud annual subscription plus 7200 points and Chris is Canadian after all. Okay, okay. I think you did a really good job. That was good, yeah. There is actually one more prize actually from the plug-in boutique set of prizes. I've just seen that here. Marlon, you can read this one out. Nice German nice European sounding name for you. That must be German. Ah! Jürgen Schnitzler! I don't know why you had to do it in that voice. You could have just said Jürgen Schnitzler, couldn't you? German has to be said loud. Jürgen Schnitzler! Okay, okay. Things are getting out of hand here on YouTube. I don't agree with this kind of racism stuff that's coming from me. It's not racism. It's not racism. I live six kilometers from the border. I know I did that. So congratulations to all of the plug-in boutique winners. They're really good prizes. Thank you again to plug-in boutique for supplying those. And I'm going to quickly do my last little segment and again I know everyone here uses DistroKid and either it's on their channel or just uses it for their releases. It's just so easy to do. That was the thing that I always felt that this is going to be complex. I'm going to have to open up accounts everywhere all over the internet. Blah, blah, blah. It's not. You open up one account with DistroKid. They saw out everything else and there you go. You go ahead and upload your music. If you want to release your music via DistroKid, there's just a couple of things you need. First of all the music itself. Here's mine in my door cakewalk and I'm going to get to an uncompressed wave file for best results. Now the other thing you'll need is some artwork. I just grabbed an old photo which I'd taken on the beach, chucked on some text here and that's what I call art. Then I went over to DistroKid and I just have to fill in this extra easy form. It's a no-brainer form. You get helped all the way through with little hints and things. You can't really do anything wrong. You just go ahead and confirm a few things about your music and then you just actually upload the artwork and the song itself and DistroKid takes care of the rest. It's going to send it out to all of the best platforms so that people can hear and buy your music. Yes. Now I just want to quickly mention before we go on with the rest of the show that I had not intended to do another giveaway next week but a company approached me with a possibility of a giveaway which I just couldn't refuse. So if you don't win anything here I'm announcing one on Tuesday which actually is the biggest value of prize that I've ever given away. Even bigger than anything in this giveaway. It comes via to huge big companies in the business and I'm just going to say that if you won this you should just have everything you need to make music. That's it. You just got everything. It's a fantastic prize. So do check out the channel on Tuesday amongst the incredible things that you get with this prize which is coming up is an amazing array of virtual instruments and amongst them amongst those virtual instruments you could be making all kinds of music you know whether it's rock or pop or hip hop or what have you but also one of the strengths I think of the virtual instruments you get is the kind of orchestral stuff that you get in there. There's some beautiful orchestral instruments amongst this prize which I'll be announcing on Tuesday and of course people making music for soundtracks and for games and things are reaching for a virtual instruments much more these days than they are using live orchestras and things but talking about people that make orchestral music I was just trying to chat earlier on with my friend Jade Starr because over on her show just before we went here she was interviewing I'm just going to pull up the name here I'm going to try and be professional here someone called Ingo Jade as I say I often don't know about the guests on your shows but I get drawn in by first of all you pick great guests and also you have a great way of interviewing so can you give us a recap because people can follow the link in the description and check the show out but can you give us a recap on what Ingo was all about I left the stream at the stage he was starting to discuss what equipment and what software he used I know he mentioned spitfire audio for example but yeah carry on you tell us all about that Yeah look Ingo an amazing artist he really came to prominence here on YouTube during the pandemic like a lot of us found our feet when a lot of other negative things were happening and he makes this beautiful he does covers and he creates orchestral versions of them and he reaches out to vocalists that he finds around YouTube in various places and gets them to sing covers and in a very short period of time like a year and a half he's just got a massive catalog and a massive growing fan base I found him on Pete's show on YML and metalhead hippie show and I've had the pleasure of singing on one of his tracks and I closed out the show today with one of my songs Do What Makes You Happy where he messaged me just before Christmas and he added some orchestral stuff to it it was beautiful he gave it to me for Christmas and he's such a beautiful soul I'm so lucky Mike I've had you on the show I've had Pete many people there are some people here in the chat who I've had on I just seek out interesting artists and I love to spotlight them and give them a platform to speak for a couple of hours play their music and I'm so blessed that today was my 64th interview and I just love it it makes me so happy And Jay just a thank you to you as well for what you do for the community for one of those people you seem to be on several channels moderating and you're always facilitating the chat as well if you're not on the show and you come on my show regularly you're on Pete's but you're so giving and you're so encouraging to everyone and it's just beautiful to see and thank you so much for that people check out Jay's channel for me I guess the basis of your channel is about things with apps on iOS but for me the highlight I've got to say is the interviews I'm just enjoying the interviews so so much you've had some great artists on there something I have on sort of in the background sometimes and I'm doing things and play it kind of like a podcast it's really great fun love it very much we just had thank you I just want to say thank you that's really kind of you to say that thank you now I did say at the beginning that I'm just so blessed as a person to know the people who are here with me today and one of them just popped in I'm glad he's here and because he's just been a big part of the history of creative source as well over the last couple of years and he one of the things that happens we all have lives apart from being youtubers things happen you know things turn to shit sometimes we have good and bad days and one of the people I've always found is really supportive for me is Mr Ed Thorn he likes to play the tough guy he's actually very very sweet and very very supportive as a friend and a great youtuber as well how are you doing Ed hey guys can you hear me all right how many times have you had COVID now Ed just tell me twice my brain is now 4% smaller and I won't talk about what else is smaller you sound a bit crook right now I've I've had a rough month for a variety of reasons but yeah I've got a bad back which is now hurting now I'm sat down I'm at home not in my studio because it's too late to go down there and I've just done a 12 hour day doing sound on a corporate event for Bloomberg which was fun all of this on top of the fact you wake up in the morning you look in the mirror and you think not only am I a ginger but I'm a drummer as well I mean it must be painful it must be really really hard for you to get through it I have no polite comebacks mate look a number of people all the drummers have just left the stream now but recently you've just got back into your YouTubing again and you can I just ask you quickly you've looked at that new universal audio interface I haven't had a chance to try it out yet what do you reckon to that I saw you what were you comparing it to in your last video the focus right scarlet of course oh yeah that's what I too does come out on top of course yeah what's the price difference between those two about 20 pounds 25 US dollars mmm that's not much it's not and I would say it is a superior device I mean it's close and it's so subjective at that price point but yeah I think it's a winner so check it out good very good comparison on my channel about that you are definitely the guy everyone gets known for different things and you just seem to do so well in terms of getting people information about audio interfaces lots of people really seem to appreciate your videos on that I just noticed you've got some different headphones on there Ed to the ones I've normally seen you in is that some universal audio ones you got on there no do they do that's not universal Austrian audio yeah Austrian audio I beg your pardon well a universal audio just released their microphones so I would not be surprised if they go down the headphone and the speaker root and just take over now they're Austrian audio these are wireless Bluetooth ones I'm using them just because I'm at home because I couldn't get in the studio I remember as I was in the backstage bit I do have an audio interface I think I've got a cable that's broken and I think we've got an SM58 somewhere I was going to go and grab that because I thought turning up with laptop audio wasn't acceptable in our niche it's not acceptable that's why I'm going to switch it off but yeah I think you share the same headphones as Ricky T Brown here is that the are they called the X-15s Ricky those Austrian audio but they're very good apparently they're identical headphones one is battery powered and one is cable powered they're doing well in England obviously I've got my Austrian audio headphones on these are genuinely my favourite headphones I've got a lot of headphones I'm sort of spoiling the sort of punchline to an upcoming video that I've got planned which is what I think are the best headphones around the market at the moment but yeah these ones you always see me on the live streams because they've got some close back versions of these now as well I didn't like them okay I'm going to be trying them soon so I've not tried the 65s Austrian audio they're just so so good you know when you want that good sound and you want comfort as well you've got the 65s as well Ricky doing well I might as well keep you guys up to announce the next prize we are going to be looking at some prizes first of all this company have supported me longer than any company I think around about the time when I contacted Pete with my 300 subscribers this company contacted me as well and they are is it waves audio? no, ample sound and they've just been great supporters of the channel all the way through the one thing I love about ample sound is you know the people who offer up things for review and prizes and what have you the different companies that they obviously share and tweet about they'll share it and you know Instagram ample sound share all of my tweets and Instagram posts regardless of what other company I've been talking about they're really really generous to the community in that way so I really appreciate that it's very cool that they do that anyway they've got five prizes up all in all let's have a look and see what they are so I'm very pleased to tell you that ample sound have offered five full licenses and prizes for this giveaway that means the five winners will pick one license of their choice now that is only including the acoustic and electric guitars and the bass guitars as well but I know now amongst all of the excitement here I haven't noticed in the live chat whether we've actually had an actual winner in the live chat let me know in the live chat now if anybody who's winner is in here at the moment so let's go with our first winner from the thing is here these are not specific prizes the winners can choose whatever full license they want to choose from the ample sound library there's a limitation on some things their china instruments and I think that's because they use iLock and so these are all the non iLock things that are prizes and that's the vast majority of their catalogue anyway so first up this one can be read out by Mr Ed Thorn I think and here we go the first ample sound winner is Malcolm Adams from Spain congratulations Malcolm I will be emailing you and you will also be contacted by ample sound next up for the next ample sound prize this is going to be read out by Ricky Antonio Alves United Kingdom did you get those countries the wrong way around did you get those countries the wrong way around why I didn't I double checked this stuff it looks like it should have been anyway yeah it's up there next I'll read this one out this is the third prize from ample sound this is actually Ricky is going to read no no I'll go for it God Tont Schultz from the USA that's probably completely wrong but congratulations God Tont I don't know why I'm saying that in a kind of a French accent why would I do that God Tont it sounds like it should be I don't know why anyway as Ricky is laughing at me he can read out the next one this is from Australia should be an easy one shouldn't it Ricky this gentleman from Australia is the winner and his name and his name is Federico as I've seen Machado Vieira Australia there you go I love it I love it well done Ricky he's getting used to this now hey he's getting used to it one of the great things about having guests on the show is because I'm basically I've never been diagnosed as dyslexic anyway but I'm pretty sure I'm dyslexic at least so yeah it's great to have the guests on so that they can do the difficult parts of the show for me so one of you to have you guys up here I just want to pull up Mr. Pete Johns I was dragging me in here good hey Pete how you going I'm going to pull you up I'm going to pull up Marlon and I'm going to pull up Chris and I'm going to pull up Jade and I'm going to pull up Jan Dan there we go you became the Brady bunch so Mark's out of five guys just using your fingers of the show so far what a score out of five for the show so far just fingers I think Marlon's keeping his hand down there he's obviously busy doing something else for his hand Ricky's got nothing to say on the matter anyway I gave you the finger mate I really think we should probably move on quickly here we've used up 55 minutes so far I really want to let these people know who the winners are so we are going to quickly go through and look at the next one I've got to just tee up something here guys so sorry about this talk amongst yourself the next prize was from Isotope who are Isotope users here show of hands really so little so little we've got mobile users

just going to get rid of all of you now good see ya bye Dan you too off you go because I think the person who should read out the prize Isotope is Mr. Sanjay C good ace Sanjay I am so pleased that you're in here this is my little bit of for folks watching this is my little bit of sort of fame I don't know you terribly well Sanjay we had a great chat when you were on the show but you know you're

true I want to tell you for folks is anyone not heard of Sanjay C who's in the chat I hope I can get you another 10 or so subscribers Sanjay by by you being here everyone counts follow the link in the description things have been going very very well for you I watched you at the point that I'm at now 100,000 subscribers and now you're on like 308 congratulations by the way thank you so much I didn't do I was tempted to copy you because I'm well known for copying people you did the thing where you filmed the screen while you were and you called your mum I think you called your mum when you hit the 100,000 yep and I thought I could do that I could do that but my mum really doesn't care that much to be honest with you yeah my mum was awake and counting even before I was so but amazing that's great to have that support thanks mum but yeah 380 something thousand is it you're on now getting there yeah almost at 380 and you're still holding down a full-time job are you yes still have the job and the youtube so that's two full-time jobs feels like it's so much fun you are amazing I love the energy in your videos folks I don't know if Sanjay see it or he now I think of you I could be wrong about this Sanjay but you kind of get the news out to people about the new stuff which is out there if there's a new product if there's a new piece of software you also highlight artists some great featured artists as well that you highlight I see doing that on Instagram and everywhere and you talk about hardware and you know what's the favourite part for you what excites you about it now that you're on 380,000 subscribers what gets you up at the weekend to make those videos doing better every time that's what it is it's a challenge of getting something new giving people a new sound thinking of a new idea that people would be excited about it's hard to get to people's attention sometimes on YouTube but that's a cool challenge to have what tutorial can I create what do people want to see what new thing can I inspire people with it's that kind of stuff that really gets me but I'm really glad you mentioned that artist thing so I know there are a lot of independent artists out there and yeah on my Saturday news report I love to feature independent artists my wife Dorothy she finds people out there who are just getting started or who are experienced and trying to get their music out and we feature them in the news report yeah awesome one of my favorite things now I don't want to go into detail about this but I released a video about a week or so going out it was a little bit of a backstory for me it was completely different to anything I've ever done before it was a little bit of backstory and I had a little bit of a chat with people about some anxiety and depression and I just want to say thank you to you because when I spoke with you and your wife after you were on the conversation about that and you were both incredibly encouraging you were saying you really should make that video you really should make that video and you're a little bit behind that so thanks for that, thanks for the encouragement on that because I know a lot of people sort of felt like a lot of people benefited from that particular video and I've got to say it was probably the most important video that I've ever released on YouTube there you go I'm so glad you did that and yeah I think creatives have a unique thing we're alone at home we're creating at home whether we're just in our studio making music or creating YouTube videos it's us by ourselves and trying to do something unique and get people's attention and sometimes yeah we're in our heads a lot sometimes talk about that and release some of that energy is great so I'm glad that you did it it was great now I'm going to let you read out the name of the person who has won this music production suite I've actually noticed while we were talking that I got a little bit out of order and I've skipped over IK Multimeters I'll have to come back to that in a moment but this person is the winner of music production suite 4.1 are you an isotope user? I love isotope Ozone gets on every one of my tracks so yes love isotope me too, every single track the mastering stage always here we go is the winner of this prize I'll let you read that outside Joe ok it's Jaysharan John Ramos from the Philippines congratulations congratulations one of my favorite countries I went to the Philippines once and got very very drunk and did karaoke in a really when they do karaoke there it's not like in a small room I was on a big stage it's serious there 500 people watching and I was the only white guy in there they make fun of me I can tell you they really made fun of me for a very long time but yeah it was great I love the people in the Philippines and also the music culture there is absolutely huge if you want to hear some good singers make your way to the Philippines at some point nice to see you Sanjay really nice to see you hi for a second but I'm so glad we could chat congratulations to you and to all your viewers you're following the right guy here great attitude and lots of knowledge keep up the great work Mike thanks very much Sanjay so we are going to be moving on as I mentioned I did miss the IK Multimedia one so let me pull up and remind you all of what the prize for that was here we go IK Multimedia is one of my favorite companies they've been releasing a lot of very cool stuff over the last year so let me just have a look at this prize so I'm so pleased to tell you that the prize that IK Multimedia have offered for this giveaway includes all of my favorite plugins and pieces of software from them it's the Total Studio Max 3.5 bundle which is one of their flagship products and it's worth around about $999 so one lucky winner is going to get their hand okay even though we only have one lucky winner I thought I just pulled two people up maybe Pete you can take the first name and Jade can take the second name but the reason I pulled you up is when I think of IK Multimedia both of you look at their products although this is a software product they're massive on mobile products actually so I'm going to go to Jade first Jade you've recently can't get the fingers right today Jade you've recently looked at for my IK Multimedia I think it was this baby it was this distortion pedal yes yes yes I've got the distortion and the what did I have the reverb actually or I should say reverb of course I wanted that one as well very very cool how did you find it Jade look the thing is I'm always honest about my reviews for a grindcore death metal it probably can't pull that sound that I want it's great for stuff like Metallica that real 80s 90s thrash kind of stuff so perfect for that not so much for the death metal but for cracking out that kind of stuff it's perfect most of the stuff I use here is IK Multimedia I have an iRig Pro Duo that I run everything through I've got a bunch of their gear I love them a lot they look after me and they look after a lot of the customers so they release very high quality stuff you did that iRig Pro did you? I'm due to do that I've got one here I haven't taken it out of the box yet what should I look forward to yeah look forward to it it's perfect in terms of its flexibility the quality that you get on the go I use that right on my Steinberg interfaces and iRig's earlier on and Jake can attest to this like when they started out they had some teething problems using the headphone jack and things to plug into now every iK Multimedia product you get out of the box has USB-C, A and lightning so it just means that you plug it into everything and it just works to the point that I got the iRig Stream Pro which is a very cool device it's got stereo input there I took that with my rolling cube down to the beach plugged that straight in and it was the best quality sound that I've got it's been an 80 live show for a really long time because it just captured that perfect 24 bit clarity coming straight through straight into the Mac and straight out via live stream so yeah I continue to be impressed from iK and it must have been that I don't use a lot of their software products so I probably should so there you go well now that you're a logic user then you definitely can oh I've never tried that one J that's the stuff that works with the iPad it's heavy it's a beast you could run over this with a tractor and it wouldn't crush by the way folks at home don't do that you may even validate your warranty unless you do the experimental music but yeah let's okay let's find out who the winner is of Total Studio Max 3.5 which is an incredible prize they have because it's just got so much in there you'll be using it for years and years it'll take you a few weeks probably to download the whole prize so let's take a name each Pete you can have the first name J the second one and the winner is the winner is Douglas Douglas Douglas J from the U for S S of A okay so professional here wonderful wonderful wonderful um thanks so much I think we'll move on to the next prize I think it's from Connecticut from Connecticut what was that people muttering under your breath about Connecticut there I'd like to know exactly where they're from not the creepy way Social Security number come on what's going on now the next prize is going to be from Arturi there's three prizes from Arturi there the three final prizes for this show folks who have been watching it's been a bit like pulling teeth but we're getting there waiting for the COVID an hour and a half to an hour 24 prize go through one hour 26 to find out the actual video time stamps time stamps time stamps somebody will take care of the time stamps I'm sure but before I do I just want to say that one of the sort of really rewarding things for me over the last few months has been creating a Facebook group actually to do with sort of creative source and particularly for my cake walk community um it's I don't know how quickly Facebook groups grow but I feel like mine's growing kind of pretty quickly but I'm more pleased with the fact that everybody takes part on a daily basis there's just so much going on in that group and there's so much to learn about actually growing a Facebook group it's very different to YouTube very very different kind of thing now a man amongst us who has I think maybe the second biggest home recording um Facebook group it may be the second biggest but certainly the best in my opinion I always say the best Facebook uh home recording studio group in the universe is HRSZ I finally got the acronym right shall we do that number that we've wanted to do together all right um hang on they say that our love will never be because you've got me and JD I've got you babe I love studio life today it makes me happy in every way oh pete I'm so glad I've got you oh jade pete I've got you pete I've got you pete Mike is going to be so happy with us okay there we go that was an awkward moment oh man that was amazing that was amazing what happened for you there Ricky what actually happened for you you froze did I freeze everyone else froze for me and I was by myself we can move past it thank you Restream for providing such great service so Ricky we've done things in reverse from each other you started off by creating a facebook group and have now opened up a youtube channel I started off with a youtube channel we've gone facebook group I'm just going to take a look at your channel and you are on 113 subscribers you were 85 earlier wow this is really nice so congratulations on reaching your 100 and going through it really really happy to see you there what's the difference what do you feel like the difference has been for you I know this is not of any interest to the audience but it is to us they'll have to suck it up for the last three prizes but what's the difference growing a youtube channel as opposed to growing a facebook group I think growing a youtube group is harder maybe that's because I'm still getting into it as it were even though I've got a reasonably large facebook group it doesn't follow that all of those people will migrate to the youtube channel because you've still got to earn it so that comes down to having content that people really want to watch even though there's no money involved it's like you've still got to win them over so I started the group and it was with the view to share knowledge especially with people that are just coming into the game and where I get my buzz from it's about the gateway for people getting into it yes we have many levels of members on the group in terms of experience but it's more about people that are new to it and sharing what I know unfortunately I've been around the sun a few times now so I've got something to share with them and it's in a community that allows people to learn at their own pace so we don't do there's one or two gear snobs but there aren't many and that's not the tone of the group so yeah well there's HRRZ of course you're being wondering what this is isn't it I just thought you were wearing a very cool t-shirt and hat that happened to be a match what is BSN oh really? you've got another group you've been holding out on me what's this one all about as I said I'm very much interested in people the gateway to making music and one of the companies out there you know definitely help people in terms of getting gear together is Behringer and you know I've been a Behringer fan for the last 30 years so I guess I started the group a couple of years ago and yeah we are the second largest Behringer group as well I'm really pleased to see a surge of new products this week so lots of people interested I've always wanted to try out the X Touch people are asking me all the time about the Behringer X Touch it's good I've never had a chance to try it out I hope to get my hands on it at some point and actually try it out because I've got a feeling it could be really good for cakewalk users especially who are a big part of my viewership anyway we're going to move on to the final V Prizes to read out the names because it's one of your specialties and the final three Prizes come from one of my favourite companies I think they're one of your favourite companies as well Rick Arturia you're a bit of a keyboard guy and all that so let's have a look and see what Arturia have offered as Prizes Arturia have donated three Prizes for this giveaway with a combined value of almost $1,200 those three Prizes are the Collection 8 FX Collection 2 and they're also a software my three favourite people for reading out names for this have been Rick T Brown Chris Salem and also Marlon I can't say Marlon I've known Marlon for a couple of years I can't pronounce it but yeah so congratulations to three winners and the first of those with other pigments which is a fantastic software synthesiser actually and I'll throw this one out it's a Canadian winner but regardless I'll still have Rick read it out because go on go on Chris EH Young Annibar you said EH I thought it could be like Chris a young that's what I would say but I like the EH spin it's nice the EH sounds something I'm Chris EH Young very good second winner this is going to be read out by this is for Arturia FX collection I use a couple of theirs in my workflow all of the time one of the reverbs that they make I think it's called Infinity is actually my favourite reverb go to one for me actually work a lot with the compressors the compressors are great actually they're really really good and although they're very subtle I actually do use the preamps they preamp plugins sometimes I'll pop those on a vocal sometimes especially if I've only used a fairly basic interface to record with when you've got a very very clean interface with no colour or anything like that on there I like to start off with those preamps but anyway you can read this one out Chris the winner for this is Brandon Woodruff from the USC congratulations Brandon that's a nice prize is an awesome prize and our final prize of all of the 24 prizes and before I do actually read it out I just want to say a big thank you to everyone who's been in the live chat I've largely been ignoring you I'm afraid to say but I've seen you chatting away there so really really great for you to all be here and don't forget that I do have a fantastic giveaway again next Tuesday I'll be announcing that I don't want to use the word huge or ginormous or gigantrous but it really is that case something big is coming so finally I would say that the last winner is going to be read out by Marlon and this is for the collection 8 which is a fantastic collection of virtual synthesizers and old sort of organs keyboards and there's some acoustic pianos in there awesome prize and the winner is Chris Cohen congratulations Chris I will be contacting all of the winners by email and then I will be putting you in contact with the sponsors who have supplied all the great prizes and finally I have to say a huge thank you not just to my guest and some great YouTubers but people who are extremely proud to call friends that's the number one thing for me because to be honest with you I would not have people show who I don't respect and admire as people of everything else you've been wonderful to me over the last two and three years all of you individually it's all if your messages pop up on my phone I know it's always going to be worth having a chat with you so thank you so much to all of you it's been a pleasure and I look forward to working in the future with all of you as a world I'm

absolutely we'll see you again soon I definitely will be back to future shows bye bye let's hear from Mr. Ricky T Brown any final words about music making Ricky T Brown for the beginners out there yeah keep pushing the dam will break okay okay a little bit of grip Ricky T Brown nice thought he might come up with something a little bit deeper than that you're like a guy who's got deep things to say have you enjoyed yourself you don't know too many of the folks on the show here do you have they put you off or do you think you might have kept back again? no no at some point I felt left off so I started to wear my Austrian audio headphones like you guys that's right but Mike congrats again for the 100,000 subscribers this is amazing and of course thanks for the invite yeah it's as deep as I can go at this time definitely check out Ricky's channel it's amazing stuff to be showing up tonight I think you went up to 225 people did I really? of course it was a great turnout so that's awesome thanks again see you again soon Chris you've given me over the last few months especially much much appreciated anytime and we have Dan here the lonely rocker not feeling so lonely tonight are you Dan with all of these folks in the house how could I with all these wonderful people below me Dan what can we look forward to from you I know you've just released a video by the way I didn't mention that what was it about you were just telling me about it yeah well Ed doesn't own the market audio interfaces I actually got back into an audio interface video for a company called CAD Audio I have to say never heard of them before but they've been around for like almost 90 years or something at least in some form so they have a new audio interface coming out microphones all kinds of cool stuff so we're doing some stuff together so I just dropped on today cool Dan again you've been a great friend to me over the last probably a year or so now closer a year we met on Ricky's Facebook page I knew of you before that because of course I had watched those videos and it was just great much nicer off camera it's been great to get to it's been great to get to know you man and I look forward to having you on the show very very soon I'll probably not want to insult you too much but thanks for being here Dan thank you Mike honestly you are an inspiration and to what's possible just regular blokes like us we're just trying to have some fun and share some knowledge and you do it as good as anybody cheers man I'm just happy to call you my friend and always happy to be there for you anytime good stuff this is beginning to sound like the Grammys or something like that so let's move on no one's thank god yet but Marlon you've got the best looking picture here even though you're a bit dodgy on the audio once in a while but that's okay what man it's been good to have you on here and I sometimes think the humour is one of my favourite types of senses the humour you should allow a little bit more of that out on your YouTube channel once in a while I think so people have got a little taste tonight but yeah thanks so much for being here I lose all of my humour when I create videos guys like like poof but then I see your face and add face and you know yeah then I get poofed again and you get something any words of wisdom though before you go Marlon no nothing okay see you Marlon always nice to have you on Ed so you've got your cushion there a little bit of product placement in the background Ed I've still got your your hoodie that you sent me it's one of the nicest hoodies I own actually to be honest with you not the time of year to wear it at the moment you live in Australia it's never the time of year oh no it gets really chilly here it gets down to like sometimes like 6 degrees in the winter so you've never struck me as a very wise person but let's have a go anyway some words of wisdom what do I say to that I think Jade said everything that was a fantastic finish and you know that I'll tell you what I really think later oh dear you're a good small man what I would say is congrats on 100,000 how do you feel about that no I feel it's just weird isn't it when you reach milestones I'm just thinking of the next one but it's not necessarily a milestone which is about kind of about numbers of subscribers that's not really my milestone it's continued happiness in what you do it's just about it being fulfilling always the numbers at the end of the day are fun but it's really for me about I feel like I want to kind of go to the next stage now and just surprise people and do some things a little bit different anyway but that's another conversation but yeah thanks so much man it's been a great pleasure to know you as a person and look forward to working with you as we move forward and finally Mr. Pete Johns my oldest YouTube buddy and now the others have gone I can say my favorite you started with me and you ended with me I mean it's pretty clear Mike playing favorites absolutely thanks for wearing the t-shirt I was going to say you've been just a great help to me I know everyone thinks you're a nice guy in terms of when they see you on YouTube but you actually are a nice guy in real life not always but most of the time that was perfect no no you're perfectly imperfect but no thanks so much man for all of the support you've given me not only in terms of advice about growing YouTube channels some great advice about that early on you're a guy that if I'm having a rough day and I just need to chat with someone need to get off my chest you're always like the person who gives exactly the right advice exactly the right time as all of my friends in fact in that way but you've been a real rock in that way so I just want to thank you personally on air for that so much man and I'll leave you with the final word of wisdom I'm just going to leave you hanging Mike likes to do this to me and put me on the spot luckily I've always got something to say now I wanted to say thank you to Mike congratulations on the 100,000 subscribers that is pretty darn awesome and someone in the community said I didn't win today but being part of this community is like a prize so I think that if that doesn't hit you down in the cockles I don't know what will and also thanks to Mike for putting this together because I don't think folks realize exactly how much work goes into doing a giveaway like this just the admin and all of the stuff behind the scenes everything you saw on camera just rest assured there was 10 times as much behind the scenes that Mike had to do so great job great job to all the companies who came on board to support Mike and support the channel and great job to District Kid for supporting independent creators like us because we couldn't do it without you as well I'm Pete and I hope you're well thanks everyone show ya and this is where I do a little dance Mike likes to leave me here so I can dance I'll play a tune I'll play a whee song Mike from creative source he's the only one who still sounds like he's bruh
