What's your dream gear for your recording studio? Share below!
Thomann in Germany
@@andreirlmeier We should head back there!
My dream gear is a Neumann U67 and a Fender Deluxe '65 Reverb.
A Herman Miller Aeron Chair for my new studio. 😎
Good Lord! is that what Heaven looks like? I could live in that place and only come out for some brief sunshine.
I can't believe I just spent an hour watching someone else walk through a music store.
But I did. And I enjoyed it!
Haha amazing
Word !!!! Mr Huart is the only cat that can pull that off!! Always great vibes!!!! Love this channel!! Thanks.
@@JMPWILLIAMS thanks ever so much!
Hell yes! Every minute. It is like a 5-year old in a candy shop.
Lemme tell ya from experience, it's a HELLUVA lot cheaper watchin someone else do it....
Pick up a random guitar from the wall and
- it’s not locked
- it’s in tune
This is music store bliss
Haha indeed
Wow, a good old Macintosh! I remembered my Opcode Studio Vision! Good times!
Thanks for watching!
Whoa! Mike's my rep! So that's what he looks like!?! Cool!
Mike's a great guy and, yes! It's fantastic.
Yes, my old Engineer! He REALLY knows what he's talking about!
Disneyland and Heaven on Earth.
This is like all the music stores in the UK under one roof. Amazing 👏🏾
Marvellous!
Thank you so much for the video Warren ! I was feeling a bit down and then I saw the video, and after watching it I was smiling again. in the end, we musicians are still kids inside 😁
Well said, we are just big kids after all!
Me tooooooo!
@@diogotigre3985 thanks ever so much!
Bought my first recording equipment and strings from Sweetwater a decade ago! Love the company!
Great to hear!
I live around 2 hours South of SweetWater. I've spent ample time in their facilities, and it's well worth it.
Thanks for sharing!
That’s so cool! Disneyland for musicians indeed!!!
Yes! It certainly is
@@Producelikeapro, Once upon a time, Disneyland was indeed *for musicians*. David Lindley played bluegrass there in 1963, and got Linda Ronstadt (David's second cousin) a gig there with her band (who later became the Eagles). Comedian Steve Martin, a banjo player himself, remembers seeing Lindley play there!
Finally! Looked cold up there but an amazing facility
It was and it is!
Warren you were in Indiana. You should have stopped by my studio ...😉Dream Gear is a Neve Console 50s Les Paul and a Brownface Fender
If only I had time! Thanks for watching
Mike Arango is my sales guy, too! I've never chatted with him, but it's still super cool seeing him on here!
More to come from Mike real soon!
Me too! My old Engineer, a REAL engineer! So I trust him implicitly
Man, that headphone comparison area is pure genius. Beats the crap out of buying online and returning!
Agreed 100%!
Too funny when warren quickly hops between headphones
@@snoopywalker1881 haha that’s the way to do it hah
Warren shredding some jazz for 15 seconds warmed my heart, dude can seriously play.
You're very kind!
my daughter and i make a road trip to sweetwater a couple times a year... mmmm. the french fries. plus one time we were in there and i had a guitar that i'd bought used and had questions about and the tech just kind of tweaked the set up for me and didn't charge me! they're totally the best!! : )
you know what's funny about this? it's so quiet you can actually have a conversation! i'm jealous. ; )
We got in VERY early before anyone got there! Later that day it was VERY busy despite the snowstorm shutting everything down!
@@Producelikeapro i believe it! that's where we bought my daughter's elec. drum kit, i walk around the mic and gear rooms and gaze in wonder. and we've had fun in the guitar rooms with my daughter bringing guitars for me to play that i would never pick up on my own! next time you go there, call me! : )
@@justlisa1599 absolutely! I’m sure we will be there again at some point
Great tour Warren, thanks....I've been to the mothership and it is truly an astounding place....and the folks who work there were very kind! This was a nice re-visit 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Sweetwater is amazing,bought a Fender 50th Anniversary in 2004 and it was perfect
I have been a @Sweetwater customer for 4 years. They make every customer feel special. My dedicated sales engineer (Darius B) is amazing. They honor their return policy, and 2 year warranty without issue. My dream home studio was 99% equipped by Sweetwater. They made me feel my $150K in purchases over those years was as important as a customer spending 10 or 100 times that amount. I still need to make the trip up to the store sometime though. P.S as always a great video Warren, your channel, book and online academy are excellent resources.
Wow! Thanks ever so much for sharing
Musician's heaven right there! :D. Love that you are sharing this tour with us!
Glad you enjoyed it!
We can now see why Sweetwater is so successful,customer support,everything you need
Great tour, thank you, Warren.
I want to live there! Everything is so nicely displayed. So gorgeous. I love it.
Glad you enjoyed it
It;'s pretty amazing isn't it Marc!
@@Producelikeapro it is amazing, indeed. Such a great place! Simply mind-blowing. Looks like heaven to gear nerds like me.
@@MarcBecker_Music that's wonderful to hear!
Best Sweetwater tour ever
So cool to see this! I live near Fort Wayne and it’s a huge blessing as a musician, just got a new G&L bass from them a couple months ago
Amazing! Thanks for sharing
You drive to the store? I would be afraid to walk in there.
@@mikedr1549 haha indeed! Hide your credit card!
It’s like Fry’s Electronics meets the old Manny’s in NYC! I wish they had a store nearby.
Is this in Fort Wayne?
Great tour, thank you for the great content and really like hearing Warren play the guitar!
Aw shucks! Thanks ever so much!
Love, Love, Love my Focal Clear MG Pro........Could not be without them. Wish Sweetwater had a facility like this in the UK. Great Vid Warren.
Yes, they were light years ahead of everything else on display! Absolutely superb!
very cool
Thanks for watching, Paul!
A friend and I are planning a trip to Sweetwater this summer. Looking forward to it.
Marvellous!
I'll vouch for the folks at Sweetwater: you will not get better service anywhere, and their prices are equal or better than most other places. The buying experience is great but the service... just at another level. I send family and friends there. Good people.
Wonderful to hear this and had no doubt.
Facts have been spoken here.
This was enjoyable! Must plan to visit. I bought my MPC One from here. It came literally with candy and it was sweet!
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
Finally a proper tour of Sweetwater
I want the entire pedal display!!!
YES! Me too!!
Tenía que encontrar un video de por lo menos 1 hora acerca de esta tienda y aquí esta! Gracias por compartir, es increible!
Absolutely! Yes, exactly.
Amazing... fantastic... awesome... excellent.... gorgeous... nice.... exactly yeah !
Thank you so much 😀haha
I worked for many years in a mom and pop guitar store in Bloomington IN, and was always geared toward local brick and mortar stores, but I have to say that the customer service experience at Sweetwater is second to none, and now it's where I get all my gear. If online is the future (and frankly present) of gear, then Sweetwater has set the bar high. I need to get up there to visit sometime.
Thanks ever so much for sharing your experience
Wonderful video... thank you. 😎
Thanks ever so much
Awesome awesome awesome. This is where I get all my gear!! This is so epic and awesome!
Thanks for sharing this!!!!
Glad you like it!
great show I buy soo much from Sweetwater great company and great customer service
That’s wonderful to hear!
Just bought my second guitar from them and waiting on the arrival. The sales tech has stayed in contact with me throughout by phone and email and I know if there are are any issues it will be handled without question. Bought a new amp as well. Really glad to see your tour because if I've went there myself I wouldnt to leave.
Thanks ever so much for sharing
Wow! When you said Disneyland for musicians you weren't kidding. Great stuff Warren!... "Never gonna give, neva gone give".
Thanks ever so much!
Love that place! Wish I lived closer.
It is rather wonderful!
I used to be one of the Guitar Gallery inspection techs. Loved working at Sweetwater! Especially nice having them in my back yard!
That's wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
Hearing you call my bass room "eclectic" really makes me proud to be one of the ones who picks the stuff in the showroom. I'll make sure I have a Yamaha BB waiting for you next time, though.
Thanks Patrick! You know I LOVE Yamaha BBs! You rock
@Produce Like A Pro I'm a huge fan, myself. Got one a few years back and can barely keep them in stock. I push em a bit for people who want a P Bass with a twist.
yes, amazing Basses indeed!@@patricklosiniecki8503
Really great video - loved the microphone section and headphone section advise
Thanks ever so much Scotty! Glad to be able to help!
Amazing that you came & visited! Hope I get to meet you next time 💙 ❤️
It was wonderful Ray!
Ha, you had a blast with the headphones! Great tour!
Yes! I certainly did
This store is awesome 👏
Very much so!!
visited for the first time last fall. fell in love with an $1800 dw snare drum that still haunts me to this day :) great facility and staff.
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
That was just a ton of fun!
Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it
@@Producelikeapro -- I'm not a musician. (I'm a voiceover artist (and a UA-cam content creator). But if I were a musician, a trip to Sweetwater would seem to be a pilgrimage that every musician would want to make, much like baseball fans want to either go to Cooperstown, or (for the really ambitious) see a ballgame at every Major League ballpark. I don't have the musician jones, but seeing all the microphones and preamps and other cool studio toys would make the trip worth it for me. (Even if I would probably have to leave without spending much money.) So thanks for letting me vicariously enjoy YOUR trip there. (Really enjoy your videos.)
@@ProdigyBowlersTour thanks ever so much for the wonderful comment! I really appreciate it
The online search and doing experience is top shelf. I called customer service and was treated like they really cared about me. I highly recommend Sweetwater!
Thanks ever so much for sharing Dave!
Absolutely
Sweetwater is more like "Candy Land" & practically in my back yard. About a 35 minute drive from my home. I buy all my musical gear from them. Great customer service, great prices & fast shipping. I also have a lot of friends who work there as well & love it. Worldwide they are the best in the biz!
Thanks ever so much for sharing
I've recently in the past year and half started dealing with sweetwater and I've had nothing but good vibes and great customer service...
That's wonderful to hear!
Oh!!! That’s really amazing!!!
Thanks ever so much
@@Producelikeapro I kinda felt this way when I visited Warwick HQ in Germany!
@@IvanovBR that’s very cool to hear
I've always had good experiences with Sweetwater
That’s great to hear!
My next travel from Brazil i need go to this place , it s amazing
Marvellous
@@Producelikeapro I need to win the lottery before I can leave the store happier hahaha
@@ThiagoBM77 haha I hear you
This was fun. If I lived near Sweetwater, I'd be there in a flash.
Marvellous!
God bless you for stopping by this comment, and may your entire family prosper in all areas
Same to you!
I watched on YT. It has therapeutic value, professionalism, joy, eclectic, valuable even religious experience. I watched this episode with my wonderful wife and my soul is satisfied, something beautiful, UAD DLX, Atmos is something that excites me now. The Focal headphones are brilliant
Thanks ever so much Henryk! I really appreciate it!
Warren, regarding Kenny Aronoff...he was born in Albany, NY, but he grew up in the town of Stockbridge in western Massachusetts (also my home state). I ran into him at the old Manny's Music in NYC in the 90's when I was going to graduate school in the city. I talked to him for a little bit (mostly about the Patriots because it was just before a Superbowl) and he is one of the most humble, genuinely nice guys in music.....2'nd only to you, Warren, of course! 😆
Yes, wonderful guy! Thanks ever so much for sharing! I really appreciate it
@@Producelikeapro Thank you for all your educational and informative content!
@@RockDocNeal thank you!!
Excellent post I really enjoyed it 👌mind you the nice lady showing you around was to music equipment as I am to ballet dancing 😂😂👍
I’m gonna work here someday! 💪🏽😁
Do it!
Wow! Every year me and 2 musician friends drive to Musik Produktiv in Germany (around 3 hours for us) and it already feels like Disneyland... Next year I vote that we fly to Fort Wayne (in the summer...)
Great stuff!
Thanks ever so much for sharing! Yes, fly out, you'll love it!
Great tour. It’s a little bit bigger than Kingfisher where you once worked!
Haha You got that right! And Anderton's!
reverend bass is awesome
I'm about 4 hrs away from sweetwater and need to go there but I know I will go in extreme debt if I do lol great as always Warren! Nice jacket by the way at the end 🤘
Thanks Ant! Glad you like the jacket! Me too!
absolutely amazing, very cool video, I would like to see you in the same way in THOMANN, Germany, or Music Store in Köln in Germany as well.
I'll stay tuned to your channel as always. 👉🏼👉🏼
I did. do a Thomann video! A few years back.
Shure ksm 32, i have a pair that I forgot, but they always make me happy when I bring them out :)
Very cool headphones indeed!
i love to go to it one day
Do it!
My dream gear is everything Pultec!
Or an SSL mixer controller audio interface all in one.
Thanks!
Just normal weather for a summer day in Finland :) I wish we had that store too...
Haha I hear you!
I love Finland! I went to Helsinki years ago and it was absolutely amazing
@@Producelikeapro Oh, Nice! Wellcome back someday!
@@GrexKhusan thanks ever so much!
My Eleven Rack came from SWEETWATER., as did my Strat. and my SE Mic isolation and a couple 57's. and it's time to go back and shop some more.. The sales people are great.
That's wonderful to hear!
@13:40 LTDs are THE budget guitars IMO. I highly recommend checking them out on your channel. They even make a semi-hollow. The super strat shaped guitars have a recessed neck plate for better high fret access. The mid tier ones come with Seymour Duncans. 🤘
Thanks ever so much for sharing! Yamaha also make insane guitars for the price
@@Producelikeapro Yamaha acoustic guitars are some of my favorites! They did great work tuning the exhaust note of the Lexus LFA as well!! haha
@@Ryan_Messenger mine too! Wonderful guitars!
Supermarket sweep.......Take your trolly and you got 1 minute to grab what you can. Awesome shop, Sweetwater also has some brilliant videos and tutorials for all things audio related. Great video thanks very much
Haha great idea! I’m down! When can we do it?
@@Producelikeapro I am contacting Sweetwater now for a time to start.
In all honesty it could be good PR for Sweetwater, something like 1 min to grab $1000 of gear for the lucky winner 🏆. I think you should have a go first, let us see what you would grab in 1 minute. Cheers Warren your a real gentleman 👏
@@Joey-rp5vg haha nice! Let me know how it goes!!
I really knew very little about Sweetwater, now I want to support a company like this! I swore I would never go to a Mall again, however this would be the exception. Great video tour! Have you ever tried the GLS es57 mics?, They sound great for the price, I did not see those mentioned. I do have Shures as well. Great headphone shootout, going to buy a pair you mentioned.
That’s wonderful to hear! Thanks for sharing
What an awesome place. I adore Sweetwater. I'm sure the feeling is somewhat mutual after all the money I spent with them.
Thanks ever so much!
I was just there and I still watched the whole thing lol. The Neumann monitor setup there made me buy a pair. I was mad I stopped 😂. I was happy with my monitors till I heard those lol.
Aha! Thanks ever so much for sharing
Wonderful customer service. My customer tech phoned me a few days back, just to see how I was getting on. Great, great customer service. And Warren, I saw you pick up the Epiphone Casino. The Epiphone Custom Riviera P93 I purchased at Sweetwarer a while back is a brilliant instrument (for $500-odd!). Well done this!
That's amazing to hear!
I have a red Yamaha BB300 bass from way back, which is simply the bass that happened to be for sale in the used section of my local music store back then. It’s what I still have, to use to record bass. I use a Bass SansAmp with it, with flat-wound strings. Didn’t know they were other people’s choice as well?
That's wonderful, I love that Bass! Great purchase!
I am shopping headphones right now for home studio. Suggestion that won't kill the budget? Great adventure in there for sure! Would love to see the interface shoot out.
If you can go there you can hear for yourself, we all hear things differently
Fantastic video. I buy the majority of my gear at Sweetwater. In fact, i just bought my first “real” amp last week at Sweetwater…fender tone master blond deluxe reverb. Amazing. And I can’t rave about the service enough. My sales engineer, Ben Cameron, is fantastic. Always takes time to answer my questions. I send everyone Sweetwater. I buy on line and some day I hope I can make it to the store. It’s my Disney Land too.
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
That place is awesome! Makes grown men act like kids.
Haha that's me!
Warren, you need an Epiphone Casino in your collection… it does everything & looks cool too!
I agree, you are 100% right
My my I didn't know! I thought I was buying gears from a warehouse....not!
Just you wait! You'll be amazed in some upcoming videos.
My Vela (with f-hole) is the my go-to. 5.5 pounds & super comfortable to play.
I love mine! Such a great guitar
Oh I wish I could spend a day there (It's a bit far, I'm in Europe). But I haven't seen Warren smile so much ever!
Disneyland for musicians indeed. Any recording consoles to play with there?
There are some consoles, they have a handful of studios you can check out
Holy sh** Heaven on Earth !!!
Haha yes, indeed
In my 35 years in the music industry, and this may be my own opinion. Not all piano players know how to rock a synth properly. And not all synth players can play piano properly!! There is definitely a difference between the two. Great episode, Mr. Huart!!
Blessings
Jim Williams
Absolutely! Well said
@@Producelikeapro 🙏🏼
@@JMPWILLIAMS thanks ever so much
But when you get a person who can do both,simultaneous the results are majestic!!
@@kenbongaards554 agreed 109%!
nice to see they have a store front !
they could have been "just another Warehouse"
kinda operation.
are you visiting the Studio as well ?
Yes! We visited the studio too! ua-cam.com/video/GemjXry1uTo/v-deo.html
Oh man,,, how did I miss you coming out here ? lol. I sure would have popped over lol... It's not that far from me, go there when ever I want lol.
I'll be beck for sure!
Warren, another fabulous video . Only got to the amps last night and will finish the tour tomorrow ( off to see China Crisis tonight , FWIW these guys are great raconteurs and may be a good interview for you especially chatting about Walter Becker etc.,) sorry for the diatribe. anyway 2 questions.
1. are there retirement apartments attached for sale or rent ?
2. do they allow ashes scattering on the premises as this is one heavenly place,
Thanks again for a marvellous vid. and yes my 1st guitar was pants, I think it was called a Hondo strat copy but it was probably a cheese grater with a broom handle attached for all the playability it had.
I remember the Hondo Strat! Did you get it from Littlewoods catalog? I knew a lot of kids who had one!
@@Producelikeapro no I bought it from a lad who played it a church ( it ought to have had a burial there )😃
I went there last year
Marvellous
This video is making me late for work 2 days on the trot!
Haha sorry about that
I really hope one day they will open up a store in Canada. Love Sweetwater. We don't really have something that reach this "level" of quality and audio expertise here in Quebec.
would have to be placed somewhere between GTA and Montreal. Kingston-thru-Ogdensburg area maybe?
@@johnmcvicker6728 it would be awesome. Maybe one day.
Marvellous idea! Maybe they will? Do they ship there?
@@cefahprod indeed
@@johnmcvicker6728 marvellous
Candy Land! 🤘
Agreed 100%!
Great video, thank Warren! Love Sweetwater! Shout out to my rep Chris lol.
If anyone is in need of a drinking game just take a shot every time Kaydee agrees with Warren ("ya" "absolutely" or "exactly")
lol.
Thanks ever so much! I found her very endearing and respectful, it was a great time!
@@Producelikeapro She was very sweet! 🙂
@@Producelikeapro absolutely
They should have pit a SM57 in the glass front mic cabinet.
Maybe they will?
Warren, I'd love for you to try the Tascam TH-MX2 headphones. $32!
That’s a great idea
Salam adieu coodbye...we love you
Like a little kid with free reign in a candy shop
Haha indeed
