 Hello everyone if you're experiencing some deja vu and thinking you've seen this before that's because you have this is a Reupload of a previous video that had some issues This is just a video announcing that I'm releasing Frightfully forgotten the music volume 2 on digital download on CD and also on cassette tape the link will be in the description for this video We'll take you to band camp where you can also if you don't want a physical copy You can get the digital download which of course will be cheaper and no shipping involved So this is the music composed for this YouTube channel between seasons 3 and 6 There will be 13 tracks available for digital download The CD will have an extra 4 and the cassette will actually have an extra one song because there's only so much Space on the cassette and the CD to actually but I was able to squeeze 17 tracks onto the CD Some songs included are the Freightfully Forgotten 8-bit version and the trash or treasure theme song Which a lot of people seem to like and this is a full song. It's got vocals You know a verse chorus and an awesome guitar solo done by a very good friend of this channel Mark Miller aka Corruptor he is a great musician I'm gonna put a link to his channel as well in the description to go check out some awesome Progressive instrumental metal and if you like there are still some physical copies of volume one available on CD And of course on digital download as well now that we have that out of the way I also want to take the time to give you guys a tour of my home studio to see where all the magic happened So keep watching if you want a studio tour So here is the studio tour welcome to my new studio For you gear heads and people are into music production and synthesizers and drum machines and all that kind of fun shit So I'm a little panoramic shot here before I get into Details what everything is here in the studio starting here with my guitars. I'm not a guitar player I'm a hack at best. So I don't need anything fancy. This is my Fender Squire Telecaster which Fred squires is pretty damn good There's a saying that not all squires are built equal and this one is one of the better squires that I've played in I remember everyone in the stores like yeah, that's a killer squire over here is my PV Bass which again PV sometimes is considered a bit of a joke when it comes to especially basses and guitars but I gigged with this thing for years and This neck has never been adjusted that neck is solid. It never moves It rarely ever needs a setup or intonation done on it So it's a great bass and I got a killer deal on it and it looks pretty badass, too Over here is another bass. This is the epiphone hollow body Jack Cassidy bass and There's a bit of a story behind this guy actually my good friend Ian found this in the garbage Enrichment BC it was stripped of all the hardware and electronics and he always knew that I wanted a hollow body bass, so he shipped it to me here in Winnipeg and We put it together me and the guitar tech that works at the store that I run put it together So this basically cost me parts and now it's it and Basically the bass I've recorded with now Doesn't play great. It's a bit of a beast play, but it sounds good really good recorded So over here is kind of drum machine and Sequencer land so starting over here on the right Is your cheerio beat step pro and if anyone has watched my synth jams that I do This thing basically sequences Anything I'm not playing with my hands. So it has two sequencers on it plus third sequencers specifically to be run to a drum machine, so The drums when I do the synth jam come us from the this guy here, which is just a sampler There's a ton of bray intro So anything that's drums is triggered to this guy and I have an Akai rhythm Wolf here, which is another analog drum machine and Very lo-fi sounding. I don't use it much, but if you need like a lo-fi Vintage type Drum machine that's kind of a go-to for me for that kind of stuff Next to it is the newest addition to the studio the Archeria mini freak Haven't much haven't had much time to really use it But I do plan on using it a lot in the future especially for anything that really needs to sound Kind of modern and futuristic as opposed to the usual retro stuff I do so that's where this guy will fit in Down here is kind of drum machine land So I got the Volca series here by Korg all very small, but very powerful drum machines Like the Volca beats here is an analog drum machine and that kick drum Sounds so huge. He may not be able to tell here, but um It's worth price of admission for that kick drum sound alone Up over here is the Volca drum and again a super underrated little drum machine This thing could do wonders for really weird wacky cool sounding electronic drums I've used it quite a bit and over here the Volca sample, which is a sample-based drum machine The only thing is the panning ass to load samples in doesn't use like an SD card or anything You have to do it with like the mini jack This is pain in the ass, but the built-in sounds aren't bad Over here is the Waldorf blow fell which I don't use tons, but when I do my synth jams This thing is being triggered by the beat step for a lot of the sequences because This guy can actually do like eight parts or more Maybe I think it's even 16 parts at once So if you wanted to you can trigger 16 different sequences from Another source into this guy Over here is my rack Nothing too fancy. I'm not really into super expensive or vintage gear if it gets the job done it gets the job done really So basically just a bunch of mic preamps That's mostly what's in here little compressor there headphone amplifier for every need to record a Band which is basically never but I've done at the odd time down here is My pedal board from back when I used to gig I busted it out. It's been in hibernation for about seven years So those are all bass effects down here. I don't know if you can see it But I have a another rack mount synthesizer Yamaha Tx81 zed, which is a FM synth so for any retro type stuff That comes in really handy over here to studio monitor land I got ns-10s and care k vxt fours now the ns-10s you might recognize they are kind of the staple Studio monitor used for decades and decades and they're you're basically the studio monitor and there's actually a story behind how I got these I was doing a PA install at a place and they were using these ns-10s as PA speakers, which is fucking ludicrous So I asked the guys you mind if I take these home because they weren't using them So I got a free pair of ns-10s that being said I had to replace a tweeter and a woofer on on each one of these So they weren't free free, but still not nearly as expensive as Having to buy them so over here to computer land. This is the laptop. I used edit the frightfully forgotten episodes It's like a gaming laptop. So it's not bad for video. I don't really use that for music production so much I've been using the same PC for fucking ages. I'm just waiting for it to die on me Over here is more synthesizers. So the Juno 106 is a classic classic 80 synth Very sought-after these days and if you want that 80s sound, you know Juno 106 I use this pretty much on tons and tons of the music made for the Channel because it just has that horror movie retro sound Down over here is another oldie occurs. Well k2000s. This goes back to like the early 90s And it takes floppy disks. Look at that I used to gig with this thing for years and people would laugh at me when I Show up with a floppy disk and load it into the fucking keyboard, but this thing is super powerful and I wouldn't get with it today because it's kind of been through Helen back in the chassis Is basically being held together by like one or two screws? So I don't move this thing unless I really have to these days Over here is the Novation KS4 again, I used to gig with this thing all the time Pretty badass synth is a virtual analog synth, but you can do four parts on it So it's good for gigging because you could split it or layer it Four different places if you need to over here is the Novation base station, which is a Fantastic monophonic analog synthesizer again. I use this on almost every song that I made Since I got this thing It's just got such a huge beefy analog sound I love it and it's great for building sequences because the onboard sequencer is is really damn good And that's kind of about it You know over here on the floor I got a TASCAM forward track tape recorder that I'll probably use to make the tapes when I release the frightfully forgotten volume 2 on cassette and That's pretty much the studio in a nutshell if you got any questions about any gear here You know feel free to let me know in the comments because I am a bit of a gearhead if you're still tuned in Thank you very much for sticking around for the studio tour Like I said if you have any questions about the gear and stuff and how it works Let me know in the comments because I love this kind of stuff Just a reminder to keep your eyes peeled in the next couple of weeks We will be making another physical media release announcement so keep your eyes peeled and stay tuned and Until then feel free to go down to bandcamp and pick up the album either digital download or physical copy if you like
