yes quite hello boomer fellow boomer here only boomers allowed on this channel kids
show yourself out get off my lawn you hooligans if you are somebody out there who is not wearing
a black tie or a black beanie to commemorate to this wondrous evening or if you're somebody who
thinks wow bandru what a lovely red smoking jacket wrong bright colors for kids much better now that
all those pesky kids are no longer interested in this video how about we focus on the finer things
in life let's go ahead and do a studio tour because those darn kids can't afford anything
huh yes quite hmm first up is the microphone and right now I am using the noi minh u87 on the noi
minh mount as well as the noi minh windscreen i also make sure to use the steadman pro screen 101
in front of the microphone to help reduce the flow civ a little bit more but I do keep my trusty sm7b
right next to me at all times in case I want to go back to old familiar all the cables in my studio
as well as the cable connected to the microphone are Mogami cables the microphone sits on a low
profile boom arm to make sure that the boom arm doesn't cover my face while shooting video this is
the OC white company ultima low profile boom arm or something like that then I run the microphone
through an external preamp right now I am using the universal audio la 610 Marc 2 which has a
tube preamp which is the 610 Universal audios most famous preamp and then that preamp also has
84 optical compressor which is very similar to their classic la 2 a leveling amp which I just
love right above that we have the W a 73 EQ and the vx 286s currently I am not using those so
we can skip those for now the LA 6/10 mark 2 runs into the Apollo x8 which is a Thunderbolt 3 audio
interface and has DSP processing built in and it just sounds incredible above that I have the
Focusrite 18 I 22nd Gen which is what I use for all the microphone testing I do on this channel
and to answer the question of why I use the Focusrite stuff for my tests it's because they are
an excellent middle-of-the-road interface which will not give the microphone any unfair benefit
and it also won't negatively affect the microphone either so this tier of focus right gear gives the
most people an idea of what they can expect out of a certain microphone and the last thing in the
rack is the Furman power conditioner to power all the stuff in the rack and make sure that there's
no dirty power adding noise to my recording and the last thing for the audio recording is
acoustic paneling and I finally upgraded from the cheap stuff on Amazon to proper audio panels and
I picked up the autumn ute panels for the wall as well as their sound blankets to cover all of the
windows and the majority of the walls out of the Universal Audio x8 I run to a pair of Neyman KH
ATS which sit on iso acoustics monitor stands to isolate them from the desk I am fully aware that
monitor placement in a cram space like this is not ideal but I am stuck and working with what
I've got also for standalone headphone listening I run the Modi multi bit d-to-a converter and that
runs into the thx triple a 789 headphone amp the headphones that I use for tracking are the
sony MDR 70 506 b cuz they are insanely bright and they allow me to hear every detail of what
I'm recording but for playback I'll use the Sennheiser HD 650 s because they are open back
they have a better soundstage and they are some of my favorite sound headphones but I won't use
them for tracking because they are open back and I want to limit the amount of bleed from what I am
monitoring for video I recently upgraded from the Canon 70d to the Canon 90d mainly because the 90d
has clean HDMI output for videos I normally record this direct to an SD card and then transfer it to
my computer but if I'm jumping on a live stream or if I just need a webcam I do have the elgato cam
link to do so on the camera I am running the Sigma 10 to 35 F 1.8 lens I like this lens because it is
a very wide angle but it also has a pretty wide aperture so I'm able to still get a nice bit of
bokeh the b-roll camera that I use is now my old Canon 70d and I will run three different lenses
on this and they are all cannon the cannon ten to eighteen the Canon 24 mil and the Canon nifty 50
the tripod that I used for my b-roll footage is the K and F concept KF - TM - 5 340 tripod which
allows me to do overhead shots which is why I picked that one up and the last camera that I
use is for my podcasts secondary angle and I use a GoPro Hero 7 I think but I have a cage for the
GoPro which allows me to quickly pop it in and start recording and that cage is mounted to an
elgato desk mount for camera which is just amazing and I am so glad that they finally released this
and the last piece of kit for the video segment is lighting and I have two of these knee were
flexible panel lights which works super well for me they have a remote control so I just sit down
hit on and start recording and I also have this old box light overhead thing that I bought five
years ago it is a limo studio or something and it's treated me well but it's super cheap and
lastly for guitar I am NOT going to cover all the guitars that I have but if you want a video on
that let me know in the comments and I will make one in the future but regardless of the guitar
that I am using I run over some quarter-inch two quarter inch cable into my pedal board and the
first pedal on that board is a chromatic tuner if you can only afford one pedal and you're a
guitarist or a bassist this is the pedal that you need get a tuner from the tuner I then run into
a ditto looper pedal which has really helped me a lot in the microphone shootouts because
it removes the variability from a performance from that I run into the freedom and dirty surely pedal
which is my distortion or overdrive pedal and I like this a little bit more than the beo D from
Friedman because this has a mids control and I am a mid fanatic just give me all of the mids
and lastly I run into the earthquake or avalanche to run delay and reverb out of the pedal board I
run into the Marshall DSL 15h which I only run on the clean channel because I really don't like the
tone of this thing I am essentially just using it as a pedal platform now and out of the amp I run
into this box that has actually saved my channel and I mean that in complete and utter seriousness
and honesty this is the box of doom and this is an isolation cab that I had Sylvester from symbiosis
customize a bit when you open this thing up it has multiple mounting points so you can mount up
to four microphones inside of it it has three XLR pass through ports and what Sylvester had to do
custom was create a USB a pass through so that I am able to test USB microphones in this thing the
speaker in this is a Celestion vintage 30 to match what I was using in my orange PPC 112 and that is
the box of doom again let me know if you want a full video on this cab because I legitimately love
this thing and it has allowed me to keep making videos that have music tests in them and lastly
we have the computer stuff and I am NOT a computer guy so this will go quick I a 2017 27-inch iMac
with a 3.8 gigahertz core i5 40 gigabytes of RAM and a Radeon Pro 580 I also have some 13-inch
monitor off to the side in portrait mode and I use this to have my show notes or a voice chat or
anything that's a little bit less important that doesn't need my immediate attention underneath my
desk I also have some kind of Windows PC I don't know what's inside of it there's a graphics card
a CPU and something and look at that amazing cable management YUM as far as peripherals
I am running the key cron k2 wireless mechanical keyboard which is just amazing I run the Logitech
MX master 2s and the Apple Magic Trackpad and that is a complete rundown of the gear that I
use for this youtube channel as well as my podcast please keep in mind that this is all overkill and
you could easily make great YouTube videos with just a webcam and a $50 microphone and lastly if
you do want to know more about any of the gear that I mentioned in this video I have linked it
all in the description and you can also find it at podcast accom slash studio ok boomer I think
