Mr. Haze, I'm sure many of your regulars here will agree with me that you come across as an extremely authentic, likeable gentleman, and that your channel is a genuine treat. I have great fun every visit.
That means so much, thank you for the kind words, things like this make my day :)
@@AudioHaze second this comment lol
I've watched you a long long time Ricky. Many times I listened very carefully and many times I've hung on to your every word. You taught me huge things and tiny little splinters of things along the way and I am hugely grateful for having latched my learning wagon to your trek. I never really said thank you enough along the way, but I am hugely thankful and grateful, and appreciative for all the huge chunks and the little crumbs you dropped along the way, I picked up so many of them. Little by little you and a bunch of other UA-cam content creators made me reach "beginner status" with me kicking and screaming all along the way. When your new videos posted I was eager to see what you were going to share that day. Sometimes I would get something huge and sometimes something small. But you always gave a little bit of yourself and I feel you are like a close friend even though it's only imaginary lol. It's true, grownups too can have imaginary friends, only thing is one of mine is "on tape".
I've needed to have a few inspirational people in my life, I'm at the other end of the age spectrum compared to you. I probably won't be here in 20 years to see you soar to the new heights you probably will attain, but I'm happy as heck just to know you're headed there :) Besides your awesome musical instrument talent, mixing talent, electronic "stuff" talent AND skills - you have a great camera presence, speaking demeanor, and communication skill. If you were for sale I'd buy you lol.
I made it from just a radio listener to the level of beginner in my music life, and you have been one of the people I listened to without having to have my shields up all the time (think Scotty lol). So thank you and a big thumbs up, if your dad isn't crazy proud of you he is missing out on one of the diamonds of life - an amazing persona and son! 👍👍👍👍👍
Peter this is one of the kindest things I've read on the internet, thank you so much my friend! This truly means the world, I'm glad I could help in some way
The day I'll start a UA-cam channel, I hope to get such a nice comment. Especially because it's not about 1 video, but his all work. 👍👍
Thanks for this. A few comments:
1: The comparison at the end, to me, says this: The important part, the *really* important part, is what you're recording. What the art, whether it's music, poetry, podcasting or sound effects, is saying. Everything else should be in service to this - but of course, it still matters.
2: Over a decade ago, I got really into photography. Back then there was a camera review site, I think the owner's name was Ken Rockwell or something. He was a bit of a controversial character, but one particular thing he once wrote stuck with me, and I shall paraphrase because I can't remember it exactly: The main function of a camera is to get out of the way of photography. The less a camera hinders your ability to take the photograph you want, the better it is. And that, to me, was genius. The art is in creating the image you want, and the gear is there to be your tool to accomplish it. It rings through so often: How many incredible images are made with nothing but a pinhole camera - how many of the most important pictures of your life were taken with your phone camera or plastic disposable waterproof little thing. The most important part is in front of the camera and in your head. If you happen to have a very good camera, it'll be easier to capture that - but even the best of cameras won't summon up awesome things to photograph.
3: I know this is probably weird, but having watched many of your content, especially since the "Need to address some things" -video, I've been thinking about your channel. And I don't presume to know what a stranger on the internet is thinking or feeling, but I wanted to say, just in case a viewer saying it may be in any way valuable: You don't owe people on the internet anything. You don't owe the world hundreds of mic reviews, or anything. You can do whatever you want to do with your channel.
Cheers!
Same with microphones and other recording gear! Sure some mics color the audio while others try and capture the audio honestly, but all of it should really just be part of the pursuit of your end goal, I think a good tool is always one that simply accomplishes what you want in as efficient way as possible. And thanks for the kind words on the content! You'll definitely be seeing more of "what I want to make" from now on :)
Bro, my first "Real" recorder was a 4-track cassette recorder made by Clarion (you can look it up) and as a teenager I saved for a year with jobs and paid $800! Things have come a LONG way! Your stories bring back many memories, lol. And "Yin Yang" rocked! "We sounded better live" right? It was good to see you on stage, respect level increased, as we have to do it to learn a lot. And "Secret UA-cam video's" means a lot, my first YT video on a different channel was in 2007! Love your channel, great video, brother. - Kevin Venture 🤘
Thanks Kevin! Fun to read your story as well, that 4 track must have been a fun time :)
My 1st one was a karaoke machine. Since it was designed to overdub singing to a backing track I could just keep swapping the tapes back and forth to add overdubs. All an excuse to play guitar solos. Lol Then I got a Tascam (414 I think?) And it opened the world to me.
I’ve been singing since I was really young and was in my first choir when I was 8. I joined my first band when I was 14. Wrote my first song when I was 15. Played in bands and gigged through college and then I moved to NYC when I was 20. I lived in NYC for 11 years, started out playing open mics and then got a band together and we made some records. All of this was before there was ever a consumer-level audio interface. After 9/11 I quit my job ad bought a Zoom all-in-one recording box and wrote songs every day in my Brooklyn basement until the unemployment ran out. I’ve made records on 2” tape at a studio that has the Neve board that used to be in Air Studios London. I mixed a record on the console from the original Rolling Stones Mobile Rig in a studio that also had a Fairchild from Hitsville and the 1/4 machine the Beatles used for tape loops.
I’ve also made records in my basement with a couple thousand dollars worth of gear. And everything in between. I’m 51 and here’s what I’ve learned about recording in 36 years of doing it: the songs matter. The performances matter. The gear doesn’t matter. Better gear might make it easier to get a good sound, but good is subjective. And the listener will never know the difference.
Now I make my living on UA-cam and I wish I could spend more time making music. I don’t have nearly as much time as I used to. I really enjoyed this video. Keep doing it.
Such a cool story to read! Hopefully some day I can match your experience in audio :)
Thank you I needed to hear this. I only have $150 guitar always wanting those thousand dollar guitars, but I always come back to it’s about how I play not the instrument itself.
What i love about those early tracks we all made when we were teenagers - is that you still can feel the passion for music. Great journey. My first piece of gear i think was an akai lpk.
True! It’s like awkward first baby steps lol, really eager but you trip all the time
My route was so different. I earned a degree in seismology from UC Berkeley, where I learned that when there is a large earthquake, the entire world rings like a bell, and that everything that vibrates has a fundamental tone and harmonics, and that a subset of those harmonics makes up a major chord. In other words, anything that vibrates -- including the planet after an earthquake -- plays a major chord. And seismometers are really just microphones. And the signal processing involved in the data analysis is the same that used in mixing music. Really, the only difference is that seismology didn't get the chicks.
That is FASCINATING, what a cool way to get into audio!! And who knows, maybe you just haven't found the right chick ;)
You see 15 years as a lot of time passing by. What I see is all the knowledge you have gained a long the way.
I was part of two bands for almost ten years. Than "life" happens and we broke. But since I was sixteen, music is my life and I wanna continue. So I start learning recording (cried after reading the second page in a mixing book because I haven´t no idea what the technical description means and how to use it in a DAW), mixing and continued writing music. But it's hard: sometimes it feels like a depression or drives me into one. It's a passion - too much for "just a hobby". In one moment it's like "yeah I've done something beautiful (maybe just by accident)" and in the next moment I feel like a big loser - maybe not made for doing music or being creative. The last week was hard and I felt again like those loser (the new amp sounds shitty - no money to buy another one, my playing doesn't fit the song) and I haven't almoust no confidence left to sing. I feel fear to make things worse, I feel fear and angst to start singing and recording. But I hope I will trust myself and enjoy it and just do it. And If I do it I could finish and share new music after ten years of the last release.
Justin Vernon by Bon Iver said it perfectly: "Some days you don't like music and I think that's the biggest thing that proves to me that I love this, is that I continue to do it even though sometimes it feels like it's killing me."
But the reason I start writing this comment: I just wanna thank your for your video and story! It helps to continue and to feel connect and not alone with all of this "creative" but sometimes distracting feelings.
Thanks Marcel
PS: Sorry for my english.
I have been writing music for well over fifteen years but I've never chased recording it because I wasn't good enough for my own standards. Now I have a studio for voiceover and I am sat here wondering, why the hell was I so concerned about being good enough? If I would have just gone for it, I would be so much further ahead right now.
Today is a new day. I'm not holding myself back from what I want just because I'm afraid of embarrassing myself. It's time to try.
Love to hear this!! Work with what you got and make something awesome
15 years of experience pulls out entry-level gear from 15 years ago and makes a beautiful recording. I love it. :)
Thank you for sharing this ...we all got "a story" but rarelly are brave enough to say it out loud ...well said my friend!
idek how long i've been subscribed for but i'm so glad i was here to at least see some of this journey. this is incredible.
my first ever mic was a rode procaster from the summer of 2019. i bought it for like $130 off ebay (and thought i'd never financially recover from it), and then my next was an sE V7 that i bought in early november 2021. everything i've ever done with regards to audio has been a passion project, so i can't say that any of my aspirations have turned into something fruitful.
i also still don't know jack shit about recording music, but i've definitely gotten some damn good entertainment from watching your channel :D
Hahaha well glad I could provide some entertainment at the least, and maybe you should try recording some!! Sounds like you got a decent enough rig to do so :)
I enjoy watching your videos but man this was awesome to watch. The storytelling and pace of your video was great and it was great to experience. I appreciate all the content you bring but I hope we get more stuff like this in the future as well. Keep doing what you're doing man.
Ah thanks so much dude!! Glad you enjoyed :)
So grateful for the vulnerability of this video. There is an enormous amount of value here in showing your journey of your earliest work. Very inspiring and liberating. Thanks so much.
This was a fantastic video. Thank you so much for putting it together. It was an excellent opportunity to reflect on the place that recording and playing music has had in my life.
I've been watching the channel for a little over a year now, and I have you and a few other people to thank for where I am in my audio journey since then. Going from just putting a mic up on a light stand in front of my violin and throwing some reverb on it, to starting to actually have some idea on how to mix, produce, and get sound that isn't complete garbage. And the discord server (everyone reading this join now), what a life saver, having a community to bounce ideas off of and make sure that I'm not doing anything too crazy with my mixes has been one of the most valuable things ever. Thanks for all you do man, can't wait to see where you go from here. Cheers!
So cool to hear myself and the community could help! Keep it up my friend :)
What an awesome story Ricky. I remember during library assistance class, in either sophomore or junior year, you'd show me guitars you wanted to buy, and talked to me about music. I knew you had a passion for music but had no idea that you recorded music. It's great to see that involved with something that you're passionate about. Keep it up man.
You’re one of the few people that genuinely understand and express your feelings and appreciation toward music the same way that I do. Thank you for your presence brother 🙏
Thank you so much... I'm at a point in my journey in which, despite I know that I've gone a lot further than where I was when I first started doing music, somehow I've been feeling a little stuck lately, and watching this short review of your story inspired me so much. The best is yet to come
My first recorder was a one track cassette recorder. Then my friend got a ridiculously expensive Tascam multitrack digital recorder. And you know what? My playing still sounded terrible through the Tascam, with the bonus of it being captured in hi fi.
Thanks for sharing your journey so far. Love your channel!
I don't know if you'll see this, since it's been a while. But I just saw naked cables in a bag. Here's a HUGE tip. Put your cables in either sandwich, 2 qt, or 1 gallon ziplock bags. THEN put them in another container. Makes digging through your cables a breeze since very cable isn't trying to tangle with every other cable. Merry Xmas
Big thanks for showing us your journey Ricky, takes a lot to do that at times. Was great to see your development in sound. I’ve had a AKG C3000b for nearly 20 years and lately been recording/producing a new artist with it and getting good results especially with todays plugins. My birthday next month and I’m hopping to get a Lewitt LCT 440. Thanks again for all the great content 👍🏻
You deserve a subscribe! Keep it going wherever you going, I'm watching it. Thank you for sharing this story.
Dude! Such stories are really important! Thank you for this video
Just discovered your channel today as i was researching the nt1 vs nt1a. you're what ive been aspiring to be for the past 2 years. Im at the point where ive built a treated recording studio in my large closet which im going to record local artists from the DMV who are at a professionally aspiring level. making me music producer, sound engineer, promoter, and above all musician. i know exactly how hard youre working. a lot of people dont understand how time limited and driven we are. Great job man!
Man you motivate me a lot to keep learning the art of producing music, thanks
Fantastic video, thank you for making it. I love the progression between 2013-2015
Brilliant, heartfelt video; evocative of love. Some hilarious parts and quite inspiring.
My nephew is on his journey right now.
Plays the drums. His home set up is, well it is an echo chamber.
He is at 6th form playing live for the parents! (UK here).
Wait and see if he goes to university next or sofa surfs for a few years.
It's 50/50 at this point :D
Hahahaha well best of luck to your nephew :)
playing since the early nineties, fell in love with recording and production back in the days of the line6 POD and first Rode NT1 (still have it!). stopped gigging and recording for almost a decade because marriage, job and kids happened .. but now I'm slowing getting back and rekindling all my love for this. This video really struck home on my early days. Those sweaty basement gigs :) .. Cheers man, thanks for this. never give up on what you love, it feels safer but it's actually harder. All the best for you.
Love this! Glad you're hoping back on the recording grind, excited to see what you make :)
So inspiring! Thanks for the vulnerable video! I've been on a similar path with audio engineering school and UA-cam myself, but running a recording program full-time (at a highschool), and just life in general has gotten in the way. Hoping to change that though... I definitely want to do more with the channel and seeing what you've been able to accomplish is motivating! Thanks again!
The bag of spaghetti cables with the microphone at the bottom of it ... kinda priceless!
Also started with the Presonus Audiobox USB! Probably in 2013 or so. Didn't really get into recording and production until 4 years later or so, but it's so cool to see that this device is a shared experience for other talented folk!
Duuuude, so this is one of those videos you mentioned you'd start making!
Amazing story, it certainly resonates a lot with mine and it certainly makes me want to continue pushing through knowing I can get there one day too! You taste for music is admirable and it really puts things in perspective! Keep up the good work, or I just might catch up with you lol
Thanks man glad you like it! Definitely was the vibe I was after, glad it resonated :)
Enjoyed your story and journey. My first songs were recorded on cassette tapes on an 80s boombox, so horrid. I have a couple cassettes of songs I made in college on a YAmaha PS-790. Your voice is so incredible. A radio voice that I think will take you somewhere. Very nice guitar playing, well beyond my skill level.
This really got me in the feels, and very relevant. I'm at the point of trying to take a next step in recording and producing, learning software and looking at gear after recording for years on phone and laptop with a little arrangement. I'll be experimenting a lot and hope to come away with something. Enjoying your vids especially this one.
Un grande amigo, que gran video creo que aún estoy en el inicio del camino, pero gracias por el video para no estar abrumados por este gran camino llamado música 🙌🏻
Bro-thanks for this. I’m going to have to find a way to finish. I endured a major setback in the form of a house fire in the beginning of the pandemic.
A lot of time and work. Kind of glad musicians now are learning in an age where learning and becoming better is so much faster, and getting what is needed is cheaper and normally ITB.
I like your stuff because you are telling the story that I never had to opportunity to tell due to technological constraints and my own creativity limits. I got my first camera in the mid 1950s and successfully begged my parents to a tape recorder shortly thereafter. I had never actually seen a tape recorder in person. Overdubbing had just been imagined and usually required multiple recording machines. Alan Blumlein imagination was just beginning. The fine line between discovering the world and discovering ourselves seems to happen in a land called creativity. All we know of this world is limited to the senses-- sound, sight, taste, smell, touch. The cool thing is that our senses can take us beyond this world. It is hard to imagine calling myself alive and not on a quest to discover. To have constructive relationships and connections can fuel creativity. Way to go with your UA-cam footprint
Well, this video has me feeling a certain way, remembering the early recording projects and basic gear that I used. Thanks for the trip. It’s essential to remember where we started.
Thanks for watching, always nice to look back at where we came from :)
I was achieving my dream of my own home studio and having a succesfull band, and decided to move to USA (because of my family, and in order to survive), specifically NC, and I am starting over again. That is hard man, but seeing this kind of videos help me to learn more about gear that is more affordable in this country and learn some english by the way.
Morning coffee in Polland, your story.
Thank you! :)
You are the best! :)
Que história inspiradora! Obrigado por compartilhar! ❤
Hell yeah love the history dude that’s the meat of the story and every step counts even if your the only one to see those things / projects/ ideas / songs through with or without others :) it’s a lonely game at times :( making excuses to friends just so I can stay home and record my music cuz they wouldn’t understand . Still on that journey and only now seeing some real progress so shits cool I’m excited to see where I go from here and same for you sir 🙌💯
"Margo" sounds like Rush meets Les Miserables. no you can't change my mind
Take away the obvious noise floor of the first mic and they both sound awesome. What a time we live in where the cheapest decade old gear can still sound great. And the noise floor isn’t an issue for some types of music-it adds something emotional to your fingerpicking in this particular song
It’s funny because I bought my first interface which is an anniversary edition audiobox. I currently have a modest set up of a samson dynamic mic, akai lpk25, rumble 25 amp and ableton lite. Thanks for sharing your humble beginnings
this was so wholesome to watch, so proud of you ricky :)
Thanks dude ☺️
Hehe, I made it early this time. Excited to hear your story.
P.s. I'm gonna order the audient evo 4 because of you
Thanks for watching dude! Enjoy the audient :)
While starting my own channel over 2 years ago. I started listening to you with the videos with the nt1. I always liked your vibe and perspective which in turn sometimes reinforced my own. Cool video watching this video of the journey thanks!
Thats awesome to hear! I'll have to check out your videos now :)
@@AudioHaze ooohh boy that's stressful lol
Here’s a fun experiment for anyone who has been doing this 10+ years wants to try - take your first computer (circa 2009-2012) and with plug-ins *exclusively* from that era (Ozone 4, Ableton 8, Pro Tools 9, etc) - make music with ONLY that. I actually did this a few years ago with my Windows XP Dell laptop from 2007, loaded Ableton 8, Ozone 4 and a bunch of old free windows VSTs and made music with it. It’s tough and you’ll only have a few tracks to work with before the computer craps out, but it’s also a great creative challenge and a lot of fun.
very cool story and message!
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing Ricky. Great video.
Thanks Ethan :)
Good stuff, even back to 2012. Had any of the music you created been on a modern music playlist, no one would doubt that it was not legit.
Awesome production. Looking forward to the new content
Thanks dude! Appreciate that :)
Finally subscribed after watching silently for a bit now,, great videos and story in this one!!
Eyyy well welcome to the community my friend!
there really are levels. and they’re in the shape of a circle iykwim
Stick with it and persevere. A great message. Overnight success took 15 years.
Thanks for sharing this.. I'm privillege enough starting at 2011 with line 6 ux2, samson c03 mic, and electric guitar bass and keyboard to start my production journey..
Now I'm using behringer 204 plus an audio tehnica 2035 and have millions streaming in spotify (despite part of the recording like vokals and drums i did it on a pro studio) but i really glad i have support from the beginning from my parent..
Hope i can have a nicer gear so i can record vox and drum in my own studio
Thanks for your videos its really2 inspiring
This was dope :)
This is fantastic!
Thanks!
one of our first demo was made by a 2 tape casette player, what was recording from the tape and the micrphone input in the same time. the 2nd was made with an akai deck and 1 mic, the gutar amp was a mini marshall pretty close to the mike, and far from the real drums :))
My first recorder was a Fostex XR-7 4-track cassette recorder that I got in 1997. I also had two - TWO! - SM-58's to go with it. This setup was lightyears beyond the dictaphone the preceded it. The first time I made my first solo multitrack recording, my mind was blown. This was the big time. I had arrived. Despite all the gear we now have access to - nearly unlimited tracks, Logic Pro for only $200, numerous condensers that sound phenomenal, professional quality plugins for free, etc., I never had as much fun recording as I did with that setup.
Beginner set ups can be so freeing! No worries about the “proper” way of doing stuff, just creating without any concern for proper craft
one of your finest videos
Thanks dude!
A pile of boxes dampens vibrations a bit, so that might actually worked better than whatever cheap/bad mike yoy might have had back then ;-) The take away from it, me thinks, is that it's all relative. It's mainly about being creative for a given budget. It's easier to just throw some cash on high end stuff and call it a day. But it's the creativity when you are limited with resources and have to make your way through. EDIT: what's a nice piece of music at the end!
Thanks man
Fittingly enough, I'm using speech to text to write this comment, because I. Because I had a bit of an oopsie yesterday. I gotta say that your content has been an invaluable source of information to Someone just getting their legs out under them and starting out with relatively affordable, albeit nicer, mics. Thanks and may these 1st 15 years only. Only serve as a platform towards greater things.
Thanks Kail! That's always love to hear, that I helped along the journey in some way :)
This was fun. Interesting. And that 2019 song is fantastic. Seriously-it needs some wispy female vocals and i'd buy that for a dollar.
Thanks for the perspective, about it all being a journey. I need constant reminders about that. I always expect instant genius. Like, if i have valid ideas and 'talent,' it will somehow manifest into a tangible result, as if songs are just thoughts i'm waiting to have.... Yeah.
My first setup was a TASCAM series 5 board going to a TEAC 4 track reel to reel, somewhere around 1985, wish I still had it.
Had a MultiMoog then too, REALLY wish I kept that one.
I recorded rehearsals with my band with a ZOOM H2N from 2013 to 2020. Considering I was only trying to record ideas, not proper demos, it helped a lot.
Nice! That's a ton of milage out of that little zoom :)
Big Sky is a cool riff!
my goat
u THE goat
Cool journey. Last mounth I picked up a Presonus io24, a SE Electronics Dynacaster for voice/gaming and a Synco Mic-D2 + Zoom F3 for nature recordings. I'm a lot older than you, so I have the privilege of being able to start out with some nice stuff, but I'd trade that in instantly for an early start on rougher gear like you. Make the most of your years; They are invaluable.
A PreSonus preamp was one of my first pieces of gear too! It was cool because it had both mic and instrument inputs. It wasn't an audio interface though, it just plugged into my internal soundcard. At that time (maybe 2004 or so) there weren't so many USB breakout boxes like you see nowadays, although they started to appear really soon after that.
Wow didn't know Presonus had been in the game that long! Thought they were a fairly recent brand
My first clarinet is now a lamp sitting on my desk. I will never get the chance to compare it to what I use now. Somehow I don't think it would produce the charming content that your video is - if I were to try it!
Haha I mean a clarinet lamp is quite charming :)
@@AudioHaze true! however, taking the cord and light bulb out and trying to play a clarinet that has not been played since 1984 would be far less charming
Another proof for: "Not the microphone is important, important is the music that happens in front of the microphone."
Not sure exactly where I am on the timeline. I have a complicated relationship with music. I've spent the last few years trying to get myself back to the point of making music. Great video though. It helped me feel more motivated to just get after it, and figure out how to use what I have get started again. So thanks for that. Also reading the pinned comment when I started watching the video made me laugh harder than it should have.
Hi from Valencia! :)
"All My Friends" reminds me of America's "Tin Man".
this is great thanks! I'm a pro musician and teacher just getting into recording- I have zero idea what I'm doing ha ha:)
That bag of cables! I have something like that. I was a radio producer at one time in the tape days and studio engineers . Though I also had pro tools at home. I'm taking a break from recording stuff to focus on painting. I've given my first set up to an old friend who wants to get into vo. I still haven't used my cheap Rode stereo pair yet. I have young pal staying who does everything digitally and totally scorns my amps, pedals, guitars, microphones. King Kids t'day man! They drink your gin and argue ... Love my nt1, that got me through three audio books. Book on rehabs in LA due soon! Kots of impersonations of American accents. That guitar sound though!, 💓 I've said before you are very good at what you do.
Thanks so much David! And thanks for sharing a little bit about your journey as well, hoping your friend picks up on your VO stuff soon, and good luck with the painting :)
"Work with what you got is the lesson". Exactly! It canøt be perfect from start. If you feel like you need skills in producing: produce some more. If you need to be a better player: play some more! Need live experience? Start a band. Wanna have better sound? Record more!
THanks for a great video! Enjoy your channel very much!
Regards from DK
It's the "dose of give a shit" that I hear and care about. The nicer gear makes that sound a bit better, but doesn't make me care more.
now this is a story all about how...
Did you see the description or did we make the same joke separately 👀
@@AudioHaze i saw the description lmao
Might you do a video on the Rhode NT-1 5TH generation? Please 🙏
This is inspiring
exactly, make the best of what you've got, because even that is a headache, I knew that I had to focus on the music, I see one thing here, an idea pops up there about how I am going to to this or that and before having anything decent being recorded, the gear piles up and the cables too and the bill piles up and all those hours working to make this damn android just recognize my guitar signal. I don't care, I go back to my guitar. If one day it worths something, somebody will know how to record it. 😜

What editing program do you use? And what free program would you recommend for beginners?
My first mic was actually a zealsound mictophone it a 3.5mm jack mic that I could plug into my phone to podcast into, then I upgraded to the blue yeti realize it was a bad fit because I live in new york then I got the mini fuse 1 and the rode podmic, the behringer xm8500, and a samson mba 28 boom arm, now I upgraded to the rode psa1+ and I would love to buy an sm58 now
SM58s are always a solid bet :)
Haha I used to work at a guitar store and did the same thing. One times this guy brought in a Martin 12 string. It was a DX with a warped top. But fixable. The store didn’t want to buy it, so I jokingly offered him $25 which he accepted. Sold it on EBay the following week for $700! And yes, of course I was clear and the warped too.
What a flip! I'm jealous, I had a custom shop les Paul come into the shop that I tried to buy off the guy for $1000, ended up going for $4000, scalped by a competing guitar shop
Ying yang rocks.
started in 07 with m audio fast track pro and cad gxl 2400
Nice :)
Both the "$15 studio" and the "dual tracking guitars" example sounds just fine. There are legendary songs and albums in many genres with way worst production (and a few with worst or comparable playing). It's all about the song... There are incredible Alan Lomax classic folk recording's made with way worse fidelity and guitar skills
curious about whether or not there’s a full version of the piece at 12:11 ? if so where at?
There is but it’s not committed to tape yet!
Bro, can you make a review of the new RODE NT1 5th Generation?
Yin Yang is tight
