I don't talk about it much but I live with an incurable illness that's forced me to rely on my UA-cam channel as my only source of income to survive. That said PLEASE consider using my links in the description - it not only helps the channel but helps keep my life afloat. BIG THANK YOU to those that do.

Awesome setup man!
Awesome video and setup!
Great video, Jacob!
Congratulations to splendid setup. Your studio is absolutely fantastic. I healthly envy you. ;-) Tbh, especially the room audio treatment. I like your channel and videos a lot.
Thanks! Much mode on the horizon
Nice setup!
At long last the video you promised, well done Sir and thank you
I took a few weeks off and like Peter in Office Space did absolutely nothing and it was everything I thought it could be.
Well done😊
That Warm Audio Bus Comp is probably gonna be my first real hardware bus compressor. Been hearing great things about it and it's the most affordable compared to others.
Excellent choices and your thought processes all made sense. I have that same audio interface which I am using as a ADAT extension for my RME. I agree Adam Audio is where it's at. The bulk of the expense went into the Neve mic preamp which is extremely wise and where it should be.
Appreciate the feedback!
Nice, solid setup, touching all bases. Listening on my phone, couldn't pick up any difference on the bus compressor though. Guess you gotta be there.
I know you've gone through a lot of interfaces in the last several years, settling on the Focusrite. I'm still suffering from information paralization on that.
Hope you're feeling well these days, Jacob. Excellent, precise video as usual. Right to the point.
You should hear a difference with headphones on, it's subtle but it's there. As far as interfaces the setup will forever change, makes for fresh content! I'm feeling as good as can be, as long as my channel survives I'll be alright
Nice basic simple but powerful setup, I have a bit of outboard gear I have collected over the years, Pro Tools HDX, UA SHARK, PCIE DSP card, UA 6176, Ssl XRack with buss compressor, eq and stereo compressor and stereo eqs, u87, Km184, SSL Xdesk, warm WA2A compressor, a few other mics, SSL variamp 4 channel rack unit, Roland phantom 6, NI Kontack,, a whisper room vocal booth. I am undecided about getting a Neve 1073/BEA or the RND Newton channel, then I’ll end my hardware hording with the Tegeler EQ p pultech style EQ to put on my mix buss
I always love your videos Jacob! I used to use a Furman, but switched to a Radial Engineering Power-2 Conditioner. Unfortunately, it's your computer that pumps dirty electrical noise back into your room's electrical circuit. If you test your outlet before and after turning on your computer with a Greenwave EMI Dirty Electricity Meter... you'll see a mV increase of about 800 mV to 1000 mV when your computer is on. The only way to get around that extra line noise would be to create two isolated electrical lines going back to the breaker box. One line for all audio to be on and the other for all of the computer noise to be on. I talked with an electrician about doing it for my studio, and he said I could save on cost if I ran the Romex through the walls and attic myself and then had them come in to finish the tie-ins to the breaker box. Also, sorry about the Eagles man. They were getting close! I'm also sad about the Cowboys' loss since I'm a Texas resident.
Appreciate all the added input. Yea Eagles ending sucked, Cowboys was worse imo because most people thought they'd win. I'm also from TX and rooting for Texans
I worked with Steve Washington at home and George Clinton at studio like that and made Jaime parks production
Great review, but I would love to see a video focusing on computer and software requirements, especially for recording videos to post to UA-cam. People seem to be highly secretive and reluctant to discuss this topic, but we all need to start somewhere…
Nice place. Warm audio isn't it, but that Neve is nice. I have an Avalon 737, tlm 103 combo. I would like to add a Neve like the one you have there, and a U87. Name brand gear is so pricey right now though.
Name brand is crazy expensive and if I were more serious about music these days I might be considering avoiding clones. I lean more towards my UA-cam content and photography these days but if music ever tops that list again I might just make the jump.
My next update might be those Adam Audio a7v
You won't regret it
you know, these room setups never end.... oh i re-doo stuff all the time, i got 3 rooms and i havent even started on my garage, which would be 4. Well thank you! 😀
No they don't! Lol can't count how many times I said "I'm done upgrading"
Your NEVER Done.... it's fun, and spend all you want, we work hard for the $$. Have a Great Day, i like studio tours. 😀@@JacobDarkOfficial
I Just Bought the ADAM A7Vs 2 Weeks ago I did Own a Apollo X6 but now just Run a Twin X Quad Still 1600$ But Oh well i would say For focusrite their RED NET Line is What they Consider their high-end audio interface line but some of it is just marketing" they do Boost DANTE but ADAM Also has its S Line of Monitors but the New V and H series all have DSP and builr in Sonarworks they just lack Digital input AES. Nice Setup 😎
I read that wavebone desk surface is easily scratchable... What do you think?
I take care of my stuff and am always careful when moving things around, no scratches here.
I need a new mic, but there are so many options out there. Any recommendations?
What's your budget and primary use?
@@JacobDarkOfficial I'm currently using an old Groove Tubes GT55 mic for many years, but I want to compare it with the most recent mics to see the difference.
@@AnwaarAliOfficialI'm really impressed with the Lewitt 440 Pure. I didn't find it harsh the way I usually do with budget friendly mics
The acoustics? Yes. Desk and stands? Nice. Pres? Yes. Mics? Lewitt: Yes, the best choice for any budget. Compressor? Yes. Speakers? Yes. They seem great for your room size. Focusrite Interface? Well, I'm still undecided; it depends on the latency compared to the Apollo. If it performs better or equal in latency terms while using a new Mac Studio, then it's a yes 100%.
We are due for a newer, "better" interface in the field. As for the PC, I'm not sure. You may have a video explaining the benefits. I'm a Mac user, and I don't want to try another operating system.
Your setup is what I have come to realize that I want. Of course, I will use different flavor pres, compressors, and a summing box, but essentially, it is all the same.
I am adding the Trinnov Nova.
After a year of searching to update and modernize my Apogee Symphony system, I plan to upgrade to gear and mics similar to yours.
Have you considered doing a converters shoutout between the Clarett and the UA Apollo?
How's the latency situation with the Clarett and your PC?
Would you be interested in making videos about these two topics?
Thanks for the outstanding content.
I haven't run into any issues with latency but don't use software instruments so never really push my system super hard. I'm trying to get back into actual music but between my UA-cam videos and living with an incurable illness always feeling fogged out it's been difficult. As far as UA goes I'm waiting for them to drop a new line before I pick up something from them.
@@JacobDarkOfficial I am sorry to know you have an incurable illness. Perhaps you have talked about this in another video. If you need to talk about that, share, or need something, I could share my contact information with you, truly.
@@casade2831 Yea will make 7 years this July, it is what it is, luckily I found a way to continue living with my channel. As long as you see my channel uploading I'm doing ok.
@@JacobDarkOfficial My wife and I are sending you good thoughts. Let's keep making those videos! 💪
Interesting... update from a Symphony system to a Clarett+??? It would be interesting to do a converter shootout between the Clarett+ and a UA Apollo. I think the Clarett+ -line of interfaces are very good. It was one of the few interfaces I could get running on my PC laptop... but earlier this month I acquired a new MBP 16" with M3 Max. I'll do a full transition back to Mac when updated Mac Studios are available. I'll NEVER mess with a PC again for music production!
Pc specs please. I'm on studio one too 🙏
i7 13700K, 32 GB DDR5 RAM, 4080
@@JacobDarkOfficial Do you ever feel the plugins aren’t as optimised for windows as mac or studio one runs flawlessly?
@@dronbana I don't have any issues with plugins; both platforms have been solid in my experience
the avalon is not included in native UA bundle unless they changed it 🧐🤥
They did around Christmas time
nice ill go cop the avalon plugin only thanks
@@JacobDarkOfficial
one other thing missing is a Apple computer very stable no viruses facts😉🙃
I've used both with no issue. Stay off the hub and your PC should be ok
lol i have Apple M-Silicon it shitting on PC's hahahaha@@JacobDarkOfficial
and i can go on the hubs no prob lol
Warm audio products are used by many professional studios as well. The Clarett is ok but Bob Clairmountian swears that Apogee A/D converters are the best in the world and I think The godfather of modern mixing probably knows what he's talking about.
Apogee hardware is fantastic but the last piece of Apogee gear I tried was a software disaster.
@@JacobDarkOfficial For al I know he could run on mac's and maybe their windows drives are trash. Ive ben looking at the Auident evo 16 personally for my budget though. Defiantly interested in the fairchild and the SSL g buscmpresor cne that warm audio make as well as some of their Neumann mic clones. I swear the SSL G bus compressor is my favorite master compressor just squeezes the low end so nice while giving more energy to the high end when used right.
Music equipment is so expensive 😢
Lol it doesn't have to be, in fact I just might do a budget home studio video at some point this year
