    Dang. I don't even know what my favorite part of this is.. what's yours?

      @marcelcomello620 3 роки тому +1

      I guess my favorite part is that between all that hugely expensive equipment and gadgets that he has gathered in his "mere" basement (which alone probably costs more than my house!), he has this Behringer monitor controller tucked away that he actually thinks is sounding great... go figure :) i lost it there hahaha

      I worship Steely Dan so the Keith Carlock part blew my mind.

      @therobdenton 3 роки тому +1

      My favourite is a tie between favouring fantastic instruments and excellent players and being kinda “whatever” about the mics. When the players and the instruments are that good you can record them with anything.
      The other thing is that simple slab of wood over the keyboard which will be happening in my space tomorrow.

    @christopherjackson5696 3 роки тому +3

    Love Love Love the warmth and inviting vibe, color scheme just says “hey, come on in, chill ...let’s make some music”, my favorite part has to be there at the end when he says, “I don’t know if my studio is as cool as some of the others you toured”, I agree with you Andrew, it certainly is one of the coolest!!

    I would like to help home studio nerds with this simple trick. Is your desk edge uncomfortable for your forearm ? Go buy a swimming pool floating noodle in the color that works for you. Make a straight cutting line with a piece of wood down the noodle. Cut it open with a box cutting knife, or slowly with scissors. Then open it along the cut and attach it to your desk end. Presto ! You have a cheap arm rest that gives some cheap comfort, and now looks like a big dollar studio console arm rest. You’re welcome !

  • @mrmaramind
    @mrmaramind 3 роки тому +2

    Absolutely amazing and so is his studio. He seems like total pro and chill guy. Going start to his channel and if I can afford it I may sign up for his course. Not sure if scoring is my main focus, but I write very theatrical music and total see learning a great guy from this obvious master. Gosh I wish I could see this studio and him in person. Thank you so much for doing this.

    Also, very happy that a composer gets a bit of Andrew Masters Home Studio love.
    (Its sorta my thing as well...on a much smaller scale of course. I only have 3 pcs ;-)
    Great video and again, very inspiring space.
    Checking out his course now and subbed to his UA-cam already.
    Thanks for sharing Andrew. I was not aware of Michael's work so, very cool.

    I suspect that Michael gets away with using those "cheap" mics coz he could play a cereal packet plugged into a old radio and make it sound soulful! The bits where he played got me right in the tingles!! You rock Michael!

    I agree with him about the behringer monitor controller.
    Best $129 I spent in my studio.
    Prefer it to the original mackie big knob or the presonus central station.
    I had a grace headphone amp/ preamp before the behringer and I don't miss the Grace that much believe it or not.
    Nice studio and tour thanks man.

    @ulfdanielsen6009 3 роки тому +4

    You do realize that Michael Whittaker got things a little wrong, don´t you?
    It´s not a home studio,- it´s a fully professional studio facility,- with a house built around it.
    Cannot even begin to calculate let alone comprehend just how much money he´s put into it.
    The Antelope alone would lose me a kidney,- and that´s just the converter........ Dang!
    Ok,- he´s a consumate professional at a certain level, but still........monster impressive place..... and that online seminar of his might just be worth looking into,- ´specially for yours truly already into operatic symphonic contemporary Euro metal..... there´d be a whole new world to learn about,- so maybe, just maybe......
    Overflowing here....... :)
    Do you still find them,- or are they beginning to find you,-.... in other words,- looks like you´ve arrived, my friend! :)

    Love your channel man! Question though, lots of people use the p16 for tracking audio. I keep hoping you’ll go over how people are doing it. I have one and an x32 rack I’ve been running live sound for jam sessions and have been trying to figure out the best way to route all the tracks for playback to the p16 so people can customize their mixes but I feel like my setup is janky still. I’d love a dive into what people are doing with that in regards to routing from their studio into the p16 and how it works for people
