Touring the MOST INSANE Home Studio Set Up | One Wall Studio
@philzeo was gracious enough to lead me on this epic journey through the gear, history, and legacy of One Wall Studio. He's truly been a visionary in crafting the "Ultimate Professional Home Recording Studio". The untrained eye may not immediately catch the details that go into stimulating synergistic settings for artistic affectation, but thankfully PHIL ZEO comes in clutch with the educational hookup on what your mortal eyes are witnessing.
Being an authentic Gorilla Video production, there was a minor upset in the audio and Phil's beard lav wasn't connected properly. Thankfully, this only enhances your experience of the Room Tone.

Big Update! Hertz Drums 2 Grand Rock Pack Demo
7 months 5 days sober here.
This is awesome , I'm so jealous of the floor pump those things sound amazing man , tone wood is so cool you guys rule
Thank you so much! You can get them yourself, or have a professional install them. The first one is clearly a home installation, but the second one has the tone hole (tm) and recessed floor treatment. Subfloor sump pump is the ideal for max capacity tone.
its sad to hear the EHX Silencer is not a candidate, it was the only cheap option available here in my city dang it! i was about to buy it
Will just two microphones, one for vocals and one pointing towards the guitar amps be enough for a 4 piece rock band rehearsal with the drums and bass just bleeding through the IEM's and mics? Already have a basic 4 channel mixer and two mics and want to give this a go
I wonder what is better? The Titanum12 or a 24 Volt mod battery? Maybe a future comparison video 😊
What a helpfull demo test 💯🤟 I would like to know your thouth about the joyo legal done
The Pylon Sync feature is super sick too, you can run in an alter nate source as the trigger for the gate, for example, your drummers kick drum and sycn them together so that the fast staccato breakdowns are litereally gated together AND you can turn it on/off. VERY cool, Any sound can be used in this fashion.....
Hey, Question on this. @11:15 you double click on SWS action. This seems like its saving your selection of track mutes. - Mine doesn't seem to save when double clicking the actions... any ideas what I'm missing? FYI, this is a great video, thank you for taking the time to explain..
Thanks, Nick! Reverb - $81 new....for the 6 channel. Just need it for taking out of the studio...may try recording--test it? Nice to have the bluetooth and USB...i do use backing some times!
I'm surprised that I'm actually waiting for this lol
I've never been so excited to see a studio walkthrough
6 years sober in 2 days. I am still recovering, but the cravings have gone. I never have to experience withdrawals again if I continue to choose not to drink and that alone is worth it. If you are struggling get to a meeting, it will help you save your life.
I'm at 1 year 3 months and 11 days. It's been really difficult, but the positive aspects are impossible to ignore. I just wish the progress were faster. The cravings, especially around the holidays, are awful. I just have to keep telling myself that I can't go back to the bad habits that were ruining my life. It's hard man.
@@bigwomp932 I've thankfully had few cravings, but I know I'm lucky for that! For me, I was very final with it after a month or two and said I'm just never going back no matter what, so it's never been something I ever debated. Events and holidays can be tough, but I also find myself enjoying them a lot more, where as before they were often an excuse to get drunk and then the next day sucked. Now I actually want to connect with people and have fun doing real stuff and not just a drug. Keep it up, you're doing great. It's not just a physical battle, but a mental one, don't forget that!
I would mix the rest of the track differently if I was using the Glyn Johns method. Make the guitars a bit more raw and vibey, maybe add a bit of room reverb and add a bit of that into the drum kit too so it sounds like it was recorded in the same space. 70s records were recorded in the same space, so I think it would sound more natural that way.
I’ve got guitars in nearly every scale length between Gibson and Bass VI: 24.75, 25.5, 27, 28, 28.5, and 30. My tuning is 6-string drop A# with a low F or D# on top. 30” sounds the best, no question. The only downside is that my favorite Elixir strings are too short for 30”, so I use a 28.5” 7-string Balaguer semi-custom with Elixirs instead.
@@pavelmerkulov7417 I'd really like a 28.5 or 29. 30 is just a little bit of a stretch for some riffs!
Thanks for the vid. Can you overdub without stopping for the unit to save what it just record ?
@@cfig81 I don't know, I'd check the manual for that!
Could run the headphone amp as an aux out from the board and then have a seperate mix for the IEM system but everyone will still be on 1 mix
@@oscarorozco4062 as long as the main board has a separate aux mix, yes
Thanks to this. It works like the OG pedal.
Sounds terrible?
20 days sober very happy after drinking almost 4 years.
I'm probably the majority of your streams for this album on Spotify. Sorry, not sorry. It's my yardwork jam. Great work! Thanks for telling the backstory.
@@JustinAdams_music 💪💪
Haha, your beard is too long. However, I think the reason why it is a little more expensive is because its cable has a USB-C interface. All in all, I prefer this kind of cable, which is convenient for me to use on my mobile phone.😁
thanks much this was real useful
I had a diamond dove, they are really sweet. And their sounds are calming 🥰
What about using BassMidiVSTi + Soundfont in commercial use (without getting into legal trouble)? I want to create 16-bit midi music for 'new-old-games' (final product as .wav file).... Another method - I will try to use the original Roland SC 88 (when the package comes and I can start it), but it will be very uncomfortable...
@@Viimaheim all depends on the soundfont, and they vary. If it uses samples recorded without permission but a third parry, it would be copyright infringement. I don't know if there are any cases where it has actually gone to court, and I think the person who distributed the soundfont would be liable and not you, if they could prove you even used it. Certainly if you're using the original hardware or a licensed product like the Roland plugins, you're fine.
@@NickLeonard Thanks for answer! Unfortunatelly Roland Sound Canvas VST is no longer available, but I will try to record original gear sound. Best regards!
What’s the best way to reach out to you?

Hi Nick, great review. I own the MVAVE Tank B, and I wanted to mention this pedal doubles as an amp profiler. On that note, I have a few bass distortion profiles available for the Tank B available for download on my channel if anyone wants to take a look. I also have a tutorial on custom programming the MVAVE Chocolate to control their Tank B. Rock on!
@@kevinjc I've looked into that and plan on doing a video on that myself when I make some!
@NickLeonard I look forward to trying them then. I subscribed to your channel after watching your Midi controller with Reaper tutorial last year. Your channel has some great stuff. I'm trying to do the same thing with my channel. Haha Any tips?
@kevinjc seems like you've got a good start, I would work on increasing the video production value (camera work and lighting before gear) and most importantly is delivery and building a connection with your audience. It takes practice to speak well on camera, but just keep at it, look at the camera!
How to get that tone on 16:55 pls??
I just bought Tight and Total (along with Ugritone's Dual Rectifier plug in and their De-esser) out of pure instinct after hearing the samples on the website and watching some videos... Cool to see them at the top of the list 😁 it's a bummer that Ugritone is closing down, didn't know them before and I've been very impressed with their products so far!
@@Weloz92 Ron is continuing with Loudstakk, though I don't know if he wants to do more drum libraries
Great video, thank you !
I'm gonna miss ugritone
Really good video man! and your voice is crisp as hell, I could listen to your voice for hours. And also the M-vave brand also has a tank-g and tank-b, and the playwell brand also has a tank-g ,I'm not sure if they have a tank-b though. (Its weird I know three brands having the same multieffects pedal model) and also, a really cool thing about the tank-b is the preamp models you can make your own model like basstorsion, aftershock, darkglass etc. and you just have to upload it into the tank-b.
Hey! Great video. I just factory reseted my td1k and the chokes don't work any more, do you know any solutions? (I don't play connected to a pc or mac)
@@silviojrcc unfortunately I don't know!
This item is produced under several names. I wouldn't buy it.
@@Wild_D that's true of a lot of budget pedals from China. As long as the product is good, it doesn't bother me, sometimes you just look around to see who sells it cheapest
...because it might explode?
@@duduoson5278 about that.... yeah the first version had issues about it catching on fire cuz the battery was getting damaged by the circuitry of the tank-g&b but the m-vave's v2 resolved that issue
for me personally, I like the M-vave brand more they are more customer friendly they always reply to my questions.
No DIs on guitars? 😱Also, someone I know just released some technical doom ....
@@visionswords5477 I went straight to my Ironheart which has an XLR direct out, so cabs weren't baked in but everything else was. I wouldn't do that again lol, and I paid the price by having to spend hours rerecording just to change the tone
Can you make a review video of using m vave tank g on bass and tank b on guitar? Then notice how it will perform on different instrument.

Not a lot of one shots or fills. Have you tried beta monkey or Stigmata drums?
@@infectedgoat7775 I haven't tried those
The drums are so much cleaner and the concept is definitely worth a rehash. Using yourself as a point of reference and the only set of ears on a project is very hard and requires a solid routine and self-awareness. Writing wise, I remember reading some of Psalms and seeing that David would refer his prayers to the chief musicians at the time. It really emphasises the use of music in Christian faith and why it is highly important to uphold music as a tradition. So much good comes from making music. Community, struggle, self-development and a whole lot of learning. It really is the best expression of something that is uniquely human and should always be coveted as Holy. This is quite literally how it is supposed to be done. And it is super awesome!
hello man. I think that the remix sounds super professional and all kudos goes to you. As a beginner, I would be grateful if you did a mix rundown of the decisions you made while mixing and why. Thank you for the upload. It's just great to see you doing great.
Great concept man! I know how tough writing and arranging something like this, I once wrote a “heavy metal murder musical” movie all in GarageBand in 2010 I’m so glad tech has grown. Can’t wait to check this out, for some reason I’ve been heavily into Revelation since 2019 when everything started going to hell. I also love how you went back to basics with writing, pre-production, and real in-room production. My favorite new IR’s are FORGED IN CODE. I love how they wrote them: “literally no speakers were actually recorded or measured, and no real cabinets were involved in its creation. And that's because the IRs in this collection are, just like the name implies, created entirely in software.” FOC WEBSITE Thank you!
Probably the best review of this unit on UA-cam. Cemented my choice for a first budget all rounder, the fact it has a tuner, compressor and DI have definitely sold it for me. Great review :D
Are you gonna gig it?
@michaelmckibbin9665 hopefully :D
Mate, what an excellent video, thank you. Love the "You might get a look from your sound guy, just explain it ... or don't" 😆
Awesome!
It's nice! It's nice! When I go around I like to listen to my Fostex t20rp mk3; they're not easy headphones to drive, but my Topping Nx7 amplifier does a splendid job. As a DAC I have a small and simple Grave Audio D06, which is equipped with the classic Conexant Cx 31993, which I suspect is amplified by something, because it outputs 65mw per channel, which is not very little. However, I was thinking of something a little more powerful, without sacrificing the cleanliness that my little Conexant offers me. This, even though it only has 5 more milliwatts per channel, was an idea. What do you think? Is there some model you have in mind?
@@Lukas_Miglioranza I reviewed another one from Hidizs on this channel that has a louder amp built in
