Peep the foxy oven mitt tho.....also an essential.
NOTE that I forgot to add: the reverb I use in my TikToks is the Valhalla Vintage Reverb plug in!!
I will try to answer as many questions down below as I can :)
As someone who's also obsessed with VintageVerb, is there a particular Mode that you usually use? Or does it vary depending on the song?
That is such a cute oven mitt! Thon even has a name! 🦊😍
I think Peep should make a cameo in more videos, it's a cute and funny addition to the video.
I've been watching you for 4 years, I've loved watching your journey! My question is, any advice for general lighting? I've been trying to get the perfect fit, but can't seem to find the right materials needed.
Hey malinda I have an idea for you to do for your honest Christmas trip thing
So basically maybe you could have a part that’s like “on the 12 days of 2021 COVID gave to me…” and then name 12 of the covid variants
That “lovely human being” who said apartment tour was me!!! I actually feel so so honored right now, you are such an inspiring person Malinda!
Post back screen
Jajajajaja right after she said "lovely human being" I read your comment and I was both confused and amazed
I love that you mentioned the Home Depot clamp scoop lights. We use them on all of our film shoots and it's laughable since they cost like $10 each compared to the $1,000+ lights that they're complimenting. But they work wonderfully and are always on our film sets!
Lol I literally got the notification for this video as I was about to go to sleep but sleep can wait.
Side note; 2:38 I need that oven mitt, it’s so adorable!
RIGHT????? IT'S THE CUTEST!!!!
Thank you for that timestamp! Otherwise I would have missed that beautiful oven mitt.
I love the fact that she considers her instruments like her children. It just shows her passion for the music we all love. It was cool to see everything you do to produce these videos. Keep up your amazing work at your own pace, Malinda.
The children are all except the banjo adopted. They must be, as it cannot be a normal woman, like Malinda, who has born them. ---and how do the fathers look??
I could so easily just listen to her and look at her for 24/7. So easily.
That was really interesting! 'This ukulele that I never use' made me laugh. Also, every time there's a reference to a bouzouki I just think of the Monty Python cheese shop sketch. 😀
Red hair, Red dress, Brown guitars and woodworks that's some real nice asthetics and gives a mild jolly tone when combined with your expressive face and energetic actions.
Love set-up and gadget tours, thanks for telling us yours and also including the software! And cheers to Patreon Brian!
I LITERALLY JUMPED OUTTA MY CHAIR WHILE GASPING THE BIGGEST GASP I HAVE EVER GASPED WHEN YOU MENTIONED DODIE, YOU TWO ARE MY FAVOURITE CONTENT CREATORS
you should do a proper collab
^^^ please please please
One of my favorite holidays is Valentines Day, because I’m all about the love ❤️.
I am the same- when in a creative flow I can forget or keep putting off lunch or dinner, then when I finally stop to eat I realise how starving I am, sometimes to the point that I'm super low in energy or feel strange... 😅
I hear Fearless playing in the background! :D
Your channel came up in my feed a week ago and i have enjoyed the songs such a warm and lovely personality with a beautiful voice. Best wishes from the UK.🎶🎶🌹🌹
AAAAAAYYYYY I saw that bouzouki on the wall so fast. You just said in a recent irish vid that you wanted to get one so glad you got one. Things sound so sick, I have an APC zouk from portugal. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to spend a bit more. Is really well made. Hora seem good aswell and much cheaper.
I've listened to your songs this week during work, and it helped me a lot to feel a little bit positive and happy. Thank you so much for your music, keep up the good job! Lots of love to you! ♥
I don’t know why but when I see peoples old childhood bedrooms I get sentimental and cry, and it’s also kinda sad seeing your old recording studio/childhood bedroom untouched and in its entirety just waiting for you to come back, also the fact that a lot of your old equipment is still their just makes it a little more haunting (not haunting in a bad way but haunting in a frozen in time way).
It's funny how you refer to all your equipment and instruments as "she", but when it comes to Siri you're very adamant that it's not "she" but "it" :p
Not saying that it's wrong or anything, I just think it's funny xD
Love the tour, especially the explanation why you use what gear, and what's essential for a beginner. Thank you!
IIRC they made easter eggs for the smart assistants where they actually chose pronouns for them and it will tell you it. I don't remember what Siri says but Google Assistant says it/its and some other assistant says they/them.
I've been watching your videos for a few years now but never realized just how many instruments you have (and can play 😯).
That is the most adorable oven mitt I've ever seen
Holy crap on toast this is the first time I’ve seen you in something than other than the dark ambience singing videos. You. Are. Even MORE. ENCHANTING. In full color! 😍😍😍
But sad we didn’t get an honest Christmas song this year… Still, this was very fun. Thanks Malinda!💙
Same
Who else was sort of disappointed when she didn’t post an Honest 2021 song, but glad to see your doing well
A big hug to all.
The Taylor 914 is....gorgeous both musically and visually.
If you’re looking for an addition to your Irish flute family I can very highly recommend Martin Doyle Irish flute maker. He makes some of the most beautiful, soulful flutes.
You should release your music on vinyl. The music would sound even better with the warmth tones vinyl produces. I use to release music on vinyl. Happy to help out if you ever decide to do so. 😊
You are my comfort voice, when I need to feel like I’m being hugged I just listen to your music :) *hugs* I love you so much
Do i have to do my homework? Yeah.. are videos you post always priority to me tho? Absolutely!!!
Also i really need those oven gloves! (Idk what the correct english word is loll😅) But they are incredibly cute 🦊❤️
In the thumbnail on the right hand side, it looks as if you’ve got a green bag with a small Malinda inside. That’s a really helpful asset, I suppose! 😊
"For when I want to pretend I'm Dodie" lmaoo
Great fun! With an iPad and a second (plain) mirror you can use video conferencing apps (facetime excluded) with your prompter and make eye contact with your caller.
Awesome , thank you for the tour, have a Happy , healthy and prosperous 2022.
thank you so much for this in-depth run through it's so helpful!
Love the gear, and love how you've been playing stuff forever! Please keep going! I don't feel as bad not continuing to learn instruments, with folks as good as you around!!
I love your music and your story and I’m very impressed with how good a communicator you are. Oh and you’re beautiful 😉
The best video I've seen. I refer this to people when they ask about how to do it all.
Now that I know you have two studios, I'll try to see if I can tell where a particular video is shot. Thanks for the tour, Malinda!
I'm not gonna ever have a music studio or make music and yet I watched this whole video just to watch and hear you talk, Malinda 😅 ❤
I feel the same about the guitar i want to buy. A Maton EGB808 Nashville. When I played one in the shop, I fell in love with it, it just felt right. still saving the money
You are one of the many reasons I picked up the guitar again. Don't know why I stopped playing, maybe depression. It has been a year.
I was just hoping and scrolling to find a video like this from a channel I already like. Considered giving up and expanding my search to other channels, but lo and behold, exactly what I was looking for, from Malinda! Thanks for this!
I’m trying to figure out how to get started making songs, but I’ve been unsure of what I really need. I have
- a good USB mic
- soundproofing pads (I’m going to make a little recording box out of a cardboard box)
- good headphones,
- midi keyboard
- Ableton on a PC.
I think now I just need to learn my way around ableton so I can edit my recordings and actually complete songs!
Only then will it be the time to decide my next steps, like putting songs on SoundCloud and possibly trying to make videos (My best camera is just my iPhone 12 mini)
Really cool to see behind the curtain, Malinda! I’d love to see more content on doing content for a living. That sounds really weird…you know what I mean :)
Malinda you are such an inspiration! I send you hugs and wel wishes. 💚☘️
Hi i listened you only last month for the first time when i was in the hospital the song was the Drunken sailor and i loved your voice and i loved too the gentleman who sings with you, i am portuguese and i will talk about you to everyone
I love the candle light videos
Would love to see more videos about your content creator journey! Also so cool to learn about the progression of your work space, instruments, and equipment
You are amazing! I can't seem to get enough!
Thanks for the BTS info!
When I was making videos, I used to record on the newest iPad Air and I realised very quickly I needed a microphone.
Your recommendations were very helpful and I’ll keep them in mind when I ever go back to making videos.
Really happy to see that physical notebooks are still a thing
I gasped when you said the Sm7b was the mic to start out with- they’re like 400$, my broke little self can’t imagine spending that on just the mic without the interface, sound proofing or anything else 😢😂
Thank you! Would love to see more about building out a business around content creation!!
Love this video! I’m always curious to see how everyone’s setup is and what equipment everyone is using! Thank you Malinda for being the wonderful human being that you always are 😁👍
Wow! Thanks for all that useful info!
You can livestream with older cameras as long as they have a clean HDMI output. You would then need a capture card/usb stick like the Elgato Camlink 4k. The only things that the new generation of cameras does much better is Autofocus during filming and better low light.
Thanks for what you do!
Just watched this. I love the stuff that you showed us, but I'd hoped it would be more "this is my space and how I use it". I don't do anything musical, but enjoy behind the scenes of those who do.
Thank you very informative tired a utube channel and quickly realized I need more stuff have some of the things you showed still building my studio thanks again your awesome
A rather fast tour--- but I am happy to see and hear, that you are still healthy and enjoying life. I almost got encouraged by your talk above to do something like the things YOU have done in your studios------ but I am a fool to get things finished , though tunes have been sheeted out, I have not really shown them to the world, yet .
Good info here. I agree!
Just a quick note about the new Macbooks: I had to replace my Macbook in 2020 and I have to say they're really over-engineered. The new Macbooks have had the heat vents engineered right out of them so, if you're using them for longer than 2-consecutive hours, especially if you're charging concurrently, you will notice the laptop getting really warm and you'll hear the internal hard drive loudly whirring from being overheated.
Instead, I'd suggest looking for a professionally refurbished 2017 Macbook Air.
Wow, that was COMPLETE
This was such a relaxing and fun video to wake up to. ❤❤ and really informative!
Ahhh i have the same galaxy projector that i use when I'm chilling out or making videos, I love it! I enjoyed how passionate and excited you are about your home and all the things you've acquired to be able to do what you love, it was so great to see :-)
If anyone is wondering, most flagship phones will have similar, awesome, cameras. You don't need to go the Apple route, unless you prefer to of course.
I wonder if it would be practical, for candlelit scenes, to have some ambient light while filming then turn down the exposure in post, so that there's less camera noise.
Actually preparing for some of my final exams at university right now and one of them ist video and audio production right now, so it is a great video to see some practical tips and practice some tasks. Thanks for that 😊
Make twisted translations!!!! We all love them!
I always enjoy seeing/hearing what equipment people are using even though I don't do what you or other youtubers do. I had a college professor who used to look at equipment magazines.... he called them "gear p*rn." LOL (I felt is necessary to sensor that word so it didn't get flagged or removed haha)
Great video you have made love it
Wow I can barely keep up with the classical flute let alone learn all those instruments 😂
your videos are so comfortable and very homey. love it :]
5:06 lol flute needs to be serviced giggety
Wow that was a lot of information but I'm really glad you shared it with us. If anybody is looking to do their own music that is quite the list to inspire to get. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
I do enjoy these glimpses behind the curtain, so feel free to do one whenever you like.
That said, the content is the content we're here for.
I love your music so much :)
Thank you so much! When you use your blue/green screen, do you edit it afterwards - and how - to make the background look different than just blue/green?
This is very informative and does give me some image on how you do your videos.
Wonder what the future holds on context creation for you and hope you continue to be better 😄
Great video!
From Italy, we love you.
In terms of gear she knows what she's talking about! 👍👍
Thank you for sharing, excellent content and beautiful music.
Fiery hair color!♥
Your timing on this video is perfect. I just had a laptop and a mixer die on me recently. You've given me some ideas for new equipment. By the way I love my Focusrite Scarlet I purchased from Sweetwater.
Thanks again and keep up the great work.
Type at you later...
Me is “lovely Hooman beang”? tank YOUUUUUU
Song A thousand years
Great stuff, thanks! I adore my bouzouki. It’s pretty hypnotic… Play on!
Hello malinda, Great video
Heyyyyy your amazing! Are you going to do a 2021 recap as a song?!?!?!
I wonder if the bouzouki is a result of that Cullen Vance video a few months ago? 🤔😉
Thank you so much. Would you ever do a cover from Coldplay? “Fix you” specifically?
Thank you so much, you provided a quick rundown on exactly what I was looking for - basic studio setup. As a recording / livestream techie troglodyte, every bit of information was greatly needed and appreciated. My little nerdie heart goes pitter patter...
Was already looking at the Shure SM7B and Scarlett Focusrite (though a smaller interface), with Reaper. Gotta admit, the 450 page REAPER instruction manual leaves my head spinning...
Could you make a video on how to
make a video? Also, was confused by the Streamlabs/Loopback helping your Shure mic work better for Livestream.
I've been eyeballing the GoPro, light, easy, and gimballed so the picture isn't all jostled and nauseating.
Is the Appollo interface that much different from the Scarlett? (The plug-ins must be at the back).
Why the ZoomH4N? Is it a mic, interface, or both? You said you use it for traveling.
Appreciate your help if you can answer my questions, if not, I just wanted to say thank you so much (your Google Translate Sings gave me some grestly needed giggles during dark times), and I wish you all joy and dreams coming true.
You have a perfectly beautiful voice.
Laura
Thank you :)
You are a perfect combination of supreme beauty and exceptional talent.
Loved your video may I ask how many keys does your piano have?
Nice! How do you record your TikTok’s? What do you use for those specifically? I’d love to see that :)
Malinda, try to make a bigos. This is a Polish dish. It's much healthier than fast food. I wish you good health and long happy years.
Love your voice very angelic
Me seeing a voice recorder and cameras:
Ooooh, ghost hunting equipment!
Your such an engaging talented person. So glad I found you on you tube. Love your Siren music. Could you do an angelic song by any chance, I’m curious to see what you come up with. Keep up the amazing work xxx
