      What are the sizes of this studio? I'm going to build my own studio in my garden with the mixing room separate from the recording room. For now the mixing room is gonna be 12 feet long and 4,9 feet wide. You think this is enough?

    one of the things I love about you, Graham, is your transparency and your down to earth approach to things. You've made a big impact in some of us here regarding music mixing and creation.
    Blessings, brother.

      @aarona.dubzperson8245 8 років тому

      sweliam1 I would do a Focusrite interface, but I wouldn't do the ISA preamps. Everybody I know say they suck. I was going to get one, but got the Warm Audio Tone Beast instead... Soooooo happy I did. Best preamp out there under a thousand bucks without a question!!!! They had a shootout with it and an Avalon 737, and the Tone Beast had MORE POSITIVE FEEDBACK!!!!! I'm CERTAINLY LOVING MINE!!!!!

    • @Finians_Mancave
      @Finians_Mancave 8 років тому +7

      +sweliam1 Exactly. With the possible exception of the Neumann mic, most of Graham's gear falls under the budget to mid-priced category. Aynone who's spent more than five minutes watching Graham's vids knows his main message is "It ain't about the gear, it's the knowledge behind it". Yet you can go through these comments and find people still making value judgments about a certain brand, or they've "heard" from their friends that X is better than Y. To these folks, I just refer them to the infamous SOS mic preamp blind shootout (Oct 2012) where they basically concluded they couldn't reliably distinguish the cheap preamps from the expensive ones. Now, I'm not suggesting people should stick with budget gear because it won't make a difference. Of course, money buys better quality - it's just not the night and day difference that's going to launch anyone to the next sonic level. But hey, if you've got the bucks, go for the Manley or Neumann or whatever. We all do it. ;)

    One little tidbit in this accessible studio is that the Focusrite Clarett is one of the best high end audio interfaces I have ever heard! But of course, it costs a fraction of a lot of what is comparable from other brands. So in that sense, it is still a good value. You get a lot more than what you pay for.

  • @CaptainVasily

    Thanks so much for the tour, Graham.You always produce great-sounding recordings, so it is especially helpful to be able to see the set-up you use to make them happen. I am especially pleased to see that you are limited in space as I am and how you make that work. In 2017 I will be building my first totally-dedicated studio and I am looking forward to putting much of your great advice into practice. Happy holidays and another prosperous new year!

    I love Graham's work, but those corner and wall panels are waaayy thinner than what I was expecting him to use.
    All in all it doesn't matter too much, so long as he can get good results due to being accustomed to the room himself.

    Last week I went to a men's dinner at a local church. Ran live sound (side note, the new Mesa Boogie Triple Crown is amazing. Put a mic on it, and did nothing to the sound with the eq. Beautiful amp) but the point of the sermon was about being meek. Graham, the way you talk about things like not upgrading your Mac if it is working just fine is humbling. Understand what you are saying about expensive and inexpensive gear. A lot of people buy only expensive gear because the price tag justifies it for them. More people need to pay attention to your videos instead of the eye candy videos of other Producer/Engineers. Thanks for your videos and words. You're a life saver...and someone for the young bucks to actually look up to for this line of work/hobby.

    Hey Graham, I was just wondering why you didn't include Reaper in your DAW recommendations. It's a $60 (after a very long trial), fully-featured and popular software among budget studio owners. I use it every day and I love it. It's very customizable and easy to use.

    • @TheAndrewforbes88

      +Andrew Forbes 100% agree. Reaper is super easy to learn. At the same time, it is incredibly customizable and as complex as you want it to be. It should be the industry standard. It's that good.

    • @TheAndrewforbes88
      @TheAndrewforbes88 8 років тому

      MixingGBP I agree. I like it better than Pro Tools. The stock plug ins are fantastic too.

    • @mikebri5274
      @mikebri5274 8 років тому +4

      Absolutely agree. I bought Reaper over a year ago and cannot believe how many features they pack into a $60 piece of software. And with all of the upgrades until the next major release included in the $60 purchase price, it's almost impossible to go wrong.

    Hi Graham, Your studio seems like a nice place to work. It's well thought out, with logical, practical
    equipment choices. Every business has to generate a profit in order to continue to exist. You've done a
    great job by not OVER investing in equipment that may not measurably contribute to the profitability
    of your business. I did like the black leather couch you used to have. Sweet! However, it seems you've
    put the space to better use. Thanks for sharing your ideas, Tom B

    Thanks for showing us your upgraded studio. I have a similar setup with the Liquid 56 interface, ART patchbay. I kicked my ElevenRack to the curb in favor of the L6 Helix rack. Sonar Producer, Mackie MCU daw controller, ART Voice Channel & MPAII Pre's with basically, Avantone's full line of Mics (Ribbon, Tube, small and large condensers.) I also have that TLM 102 and am not overjoyed with it. I hear that the 103 is the way to go. [ U87 still on layaway.. :) ] I'm gonna grab the Single space Clarrett-8-pre when I build a new PC with Thunderbolt. I want that AIR and lower latency!

    Niceeeeee studio Graham. I actually have the same Modern Recording book and a few other Pro Tools literature as well. I was thinking about grabbing a focusrite ISA Two or an LA-610 to complement my Apollo 8 Quad because I've been strictly utilizing the unison preamp technology. I'm in deep thought but when I see a fellow peer rocking with a focusrite pre, it inspire me to go grab one to have in my rack. Thanks for sharing Graham!

  • @MarcoPrimeau
    @MarcoPrimeau 8 років тому

    Hey man, I might be wrong but the Clarett line ins goes in a part of the preamp circuitry before going to the converter. So you are doing preamp to preamp with the ISA. If you would have an external converter to going to the spdif of the Clarett, you would have a cleaner signal path and have the chance to hear what the ISA 220 really sounds like.. Nice setup otherwise ! ;)

Way to complicated from my point of view. I'll just have to stick with a very basic & simple home set up so that I can just record a guitar & voice. That's good enough for me......Thanks for posting this...................Steve
