2024 Update (studio, drums, life)

Alexa turn on Studio what's up welcome back little update things that have changed in the studio um yeah I I just figured uh been a while since I've been on here and shared you know life stuff Studio stuff music stuff uh let's see I wrote some things down give me a sec by the way these are great you know what I'm going to clean up before I even start this video I honestly wasn't thinking about doing any of that this place is a mess uh I I've been doing a lot of cool work but it's been like fly dates I'm going to clean up s yeah this symbol got cracked I don't know if I during playing or flying or whatnot oh there it is right there um and I think here yeah there's a little little crack two years not bad can't really hear it but uh thankfully we got it replaced so you feel what in here cool dead monitor ah this is clean enough what's up all right we're done cleaning uh that was it took like 10 minutes in real life I've just been flying in and out of town from fly dates and it's been great I'm still doing some flight with Andy a couple other folks uh very thankful and just local stuff around town and you know very very thankful that I still get to do cool things like that [Music] I want to just kind of give a little update so you know I I haven't posted in a while that's not true I just posted less than a week ago it was just me warming up and I really was enjoying the sound I was going for and I don't know if you saw in that video but there was you can kind of see how the room is set up so the snare drums are directly behind the camera right now the drums are off to my left I got like the stuff I use often is like behind me up against the amazing automute City Escape strata stuff I'm sorry Mitch I don't remember the name the couch is still here but the thing that the okay I'm I'm thinking right now there's three things three things that have like changed the workflow in here for the better yeah I just want to show you around so uh we'll start with the things that are familiar like I said and then I'll introduce the new things these are the familiar things this is the snare situation I haven't gotten any new drums though there is one drum that is been this uh sugar aluminum Guy this is a 5x14 my last Summer's tour with Andy fell in love with it so I gave it to him and then Jeff sent me this so thank you Jeff at Sugar this is a great drum it's the aluminum guy we all we all know and love it the drums they've been in this position for I want to say I don't know a couple years now and yeah I mean the drums that are up right now are the same ones uh so you know it's my Roger kit cool uh what has changed is like all those drums just to be over there and now they swapped switched whatever um but the real big big big big change is this thing no this is not my lunch if you watched earlier you know what that is I've had this husky thing for a long time and it's full of percussion right and it's always been like back there or over there or way over there it's just always been in a weird place and I thought to myself self what if you just put your monitor and your keyboard on there it's actually nice and ergonomical see so I can do sessions whatever from there uh I got my headphone thing so I did that and it's been great because it's like instead of like sometimes when you're you're doing a session and you know you need to add Shaker you need to do something and the drum part is relatively simple instead of having to do a whole other setup I can just go like oh I need this little tambourine guy got my overheads going duplicate track it's done like it's that simple um or if it's with shakers or I can keep extra beaters in here it's just like you know you do the tape or if I want it crunchy I got the crotch mic going like all that stuff is all just just here and I don't have to go to a different place or another like it's just ready to go so very very stoked about that I have this idea of like using it um wait cuz it sounds good so I mean so my mom monitor this monitor the stand broke and then the other monitor just died so I combined forces and this is what we got this is bolted on here it's HDMI situation and then Gaff tape we love Gaff tape that's that's it so that's what the kit looks like um fun stuff got some bigger base rooms over here A bunch of cables the couch look at this desk it's so great you got everything you got the midi keyboard you got the real keyboard you got a mouse you got the controller for here you got cold brew you got you got it all I mean what else does a little Mexican boy living in the east side of Los Angeles need it's on whales and it's got this really nice uh what is it what do they call that Loom that's a loom my my my touring guys would laugh at me if I forgot that so this is the new rack all the hardware in there is the same okay so the brains of the operation is my 2021 uh M1 Max laptop this goes everywhere with me but it's also super stable and I can't get it to hiccup or slow down with protool sessions and then that goes into this Cal digit dock which like the hard drive goes to all the screens go to because I got two string two screens um and I can also hook up hard drives and whatnot and it really is only two cables for me to get this whole thing going cuz that's power and that's the other display interface is uh well that's the interface but but um it's Avid uh HDO 16 in 16 out uh all my preamps are API uh so everything goes through apis these is the kick kick in sorry snare top kick out or there um and then the EQ section you can see what's going on got some extras down here yeah that's kind of it but this rack oh my gosh okay so this rack is from some company I found on Amazon and it's like real wood it's amazing and it was only like 350 bucks it allows me to have everything down below away from the kit so it's not like bothering me I can see all the levels I can adjust things if I need to and I it's like like I'm in a chair right now and I can just access whatever I need to and it's been really really awesome and my friend Andrew Rey has helped me rack it up and it's it's so rad I'm so happy for it and you get like double use because you got this whole top so I can you know it just cleaned things up but then a friend of mine hooked me up thank you Peter Dyer he had these laying around a little Avent to them guys I've been using those and those are great to check phase they're super like lowy sounding so like you just I don't know it just really has helped with like narrowing down my face super super dope so yeah those are the the few things that have changed here not much else has changed um kind of once Mitch and the automute folks came in it got really really good and then I've been only been able to get better at what I do um yeah but if you need drums or whatever you know hit me up on Instagram or here wherever my website it's all down below which also that means it's time to like And subscribe thanks for watching uh that's it uh until next time bye bonus couple microphones that I got this microphone is a golden age R1 Mark I nothing special about it it's like a $120 ribbon mic it sounds so good I I can't tell you why I don't know but so it lives kind of here it's like six feet from the it's like where the cro it's there it sounds great welcome to the entryway that oh no no [Music] flies
