    Well, this is IT! This is the holy grail of studios for me. I've been a Butch fan forever and have only seen glimpses of his new(ish) space in Nashville. Andrew, you did a fantastic job as always with this one! You should start a new series with Butch, just talking about recording and producing. That would be amazing, he's a national treasure!

    This truly IS the most epic home studio!
    Nothing about it says home studio by the way,- just a beautiful and epic studio,- the amount of wood, the rustic converted barn look of the rooms, the open space in which to breathe,the hybrid setup including the old school analog console, even the loft would make a fantastic studio B - everything just reeks of a man living the dream.
    Lucky guy.

    What an inspiring place to work at. So many stories attached to all that accumulated gear, there’s a big chunk of recent music history present there. The overall vibe that comes across is light and down-to-earth, and that is because Butch himself is easy going and down-to-earth, a guy you can dig instantly. Thanks for sharing, Andrew! Thanks for the tour, Butch! You built and developed a dream place based on your engineering know-how and work experience!

    ...What an awesome space... 7:52... Dating my self - but I bought the 1st Kiss Alive LP when It came out!... In fact Andrew... My 1st "Real" Drum set, around that time - was the exact same kit that Peter Criss is playing on the cover of that LP... Pearl Fiberglass, All concert toms (1 headed), Silver Satin... Same Kit - Same Color - Same amount and sizes of drums.... I was soooo cool in High School with that drum kit! (Traded them in for a custom Gretsch Kit around 1979, after hauling that kit around to many gigs... Then I was the coolest drummer at Berklee!!)...

I've been a fan of his music for 15+ years, I love this so much! I don't know anything about music production, and probably never will, but I'm going to bookmark this for future reference anyway lol

    GREAT interview! Love your studio dude. Like yourself I'm a vibe man, and have done some of my best work in the most unlikely of places: florida rooms, offices, Sunday school rooms, you name it. Vibe to me is everything because atmosphere contributes to mood -- which affects feel. To me that's most important. There's nothing worse than being inundated with craploads of gear in a dead environment. Sound needs to breathe.
    I run most everything through my 4 UA 1176's into an analog Studiomaster console onto DAW. (I am amazed at how fat the English Studiomaster sounds! Even without using any EQ!) I will mix my stems at a mothership studio to fine tune everything. But like yourself, I like to keep it simple so I can spend more time on the musical side of things. That's the real joy of it, to me. Thank you gentlemen for an insightful and learning experience.

    Great interview...It was great to hear that even though you had some losses, you forged ahead. It taught you and others, that life and things are only around while they are,not when we want them to be. I also loved the fact you said this digital/analog
    debate is a scam, fake, and just another separatist distraction. I remember people asking me which mic I used for making samples, since I spin records as well, and after guessing all these expensive Mics, I told them, it was one of the mics that came with my Sanyo boom box. I also recall seeing people get upset when I tell that their $5,,555,555 dollar room treatments are bogus, along with their $55,555 interconnect cables..

I feel like a kid again in the 1970's the first time I heard Earth Wind & Fire...an unexpected discovery. I'm a fan now! And while it should not matter, I'd like to mention that I'm a hip hop & R&B fan-but i'm all over Glen. Great work! That studio sounds amazing.

    It's cool to see his endorsement of LUNA. I'm teetering on the edge of giving up Pro Tools and tempted to switch to LUNA. I don't want to use Ableton or Logic, even though I know they're great and my friends all tell me I'm crazy for not using them. But honestly, I can't stand the UI. I really, really like the look of LUNA, I crave something that looks like actual gear. I am curious if anyone can tell me why so many people hate PT or wanna leave it, like Butch expressed that he does. I've used it for years and actually like it, but the subscription service bums me out. I just lost a week of recording, which was vacation from my day job because Pro Tools wouldn't launch, saying the subscription expired, even though it didn't. So, that's enough of an annoyance to make me take a closer look at LUNA. Anyone have any feedback on any of this?

    • @alexandereditsvideo
      @alexandereditsvideo Рік тому +1

      I recently took a Pro Tools class at an L.A. community college, passed my Avid exams and am now an Avid Certified Pro Tools Specialist. But for years I was averse to Pro Tools because the light-mode UI was ugly to me. Dark mode made me open to it, and now that I know my way around it I'm happy to use it.
      I've had an issue with Avid's licensing in the past and spent a whole day going through a labyrinth of their support system just getting my purchase validated. It was a hassle but in the end they took care of me. And I can say that they are constantly upgrading their software in good and meaningful ways.

    • @alexandereditsvideo
      @alexandereditsvideo Рік тому +1

      I keep hearing good things about Luna though and UA is a fantastic company so if you feel more inclined then why not give 'em a go. In general however I find it useful to pick a lane and master your tools of choice.

    • @sabrosapurr
      @sabrosapurr Рік тому +2

      @@alexandereditsvideo I ended up encountering an issue in a Pro Tools session where it just keeps crashing at the exact same spot and I can't figure out why. So, I imported all of the audio files into a new UA Luna session and have really been enjoying working in Luna. I still have a lot of sessions to complete in Pro Tools, so I'm sure I've made the switch. I might just finish that one song in Luna and finish the rest in Pro Tools. But I could see eventually making the switch to Luna for sure.

    • @wakinglife7065
      @wakinglife7065 2 місяці тому

      I study music prod- and I use Ableton - which the workflow works for me, logic which has its advantages, Luna is great because it connects to Uad console so well. Pro tools I’m learning this semester and I’m not going to lie - I don’t like it. I’m starting to get used to it but you need to learn half a million shortcuts or get into the avid dock and the s1- which I don’t want to. The advantages is that most studios use pro tools and they are used in soundtracks due to the synchronization between film and audio. Logic and Ableton both allow you to drag films in and score - Logic and Final Cut Pro work together harmoniously but protools has sync hardware. Thats basically my very humble opinion on it and I’m sure there is more reasons but I find protools especially creating headphone mixes annoying. I think it’s ugly as is Ableton. But Ableton has two great workflows - session and arrangement. Which I’ve used I extensively. And I love how easy it is to edit and zoom in without having to use shortcuts.

    I'm so jealous. What a wonderful studio. I've put this video it in a playlist called "When I win the Lotto" 🙂I started playing guitar less than 2 years ago. Started writing and recording in my 9ft by 9ft box room in the garage at the beginning of this year. I'm in my 50's and wish I'd found this calling decades ago. My dream is to own a studio like this and collaborate with other musicians instead of sitting in this tiny room on my own. Great album btw, I love it. Thank you.
