thank you so much for having me out here uh i know this is your place and i'd love if you could give me some background on it yeah this is jto we've been here for nine years we started off with me and a couple guys in in my basement studio i used to live just down the street we actually got the keys to this building a year before um we moved in here we tried to put a deal together to to to do the building and it just kind of fell apart okay in the meantime just kept building what we were building and then a year later i get a phone call and this guy's like hey man you guys still want to get in that building so since then another guy bought the building and he was like man i think it'd be cool if there's a studio in here and so we connected and this was like this dingy dingy nasty old kind of office space the back where the live room is was a garage just like a filthy garage wow so we just flipped it all around and turned into the studio and two years ago we added on next door so we have three more studios over there now so like zayn's room that you were in and then upstairs matt bowden and logan are over there so with the original building and then you add it on to the building how many studios are in this building now total seven seven studios so the seven control rooms and then like judah's room has an iso booth zane has his own iso and then upstairs the guy's sharing iso and then in here we have the big live room and then jude is connected callan's connected i'm connected and adam's connected to that i love the community aspect of it yeah like you're all here doing your own thing rubbing shoulders collaborating yeah getting feedback so part of that is like i know you've worked in different spots before but like the old model is i'm gonna build a room and put a bunch of gear in it and hope that people rent it out and i was like man i want to go get a building and i want to get a room that's good for tracking drums and get a grand piano like get a couple of those things that like might be hard to have at your house but like let's make it about the people because at the end of the day people make records so this space was like okay let's get a bunch of rooms and then instead of like they're just being a bunch of rooms that people can rent out like let's get a person that works out of that room and then that room is like that's judah's room like like he does all kinds of stuff out of that space and so we all have our own businesses we all have our own llc's s corpse whatever everybody works out of here and then i don't know it's like entrenched in music like if i do this if i start this then i should take a percentage of everybody's stuff and i own a piece and that's just how it is and you work your way to this and then whatever and it was like what if we just like build out space and then everybody can have their at least their own space yeah now everybody owns themselves yep and then everybody's gonna want to collaborate because somebody's not dipping in everything and all that other people hold on to that little bit that's left and that's exactly what's happened so like me and zayn do utah we're here me and adam do call the ocean we're in here judah and bota have uh super cuts they're in here zane has young collective wonder club he's in here braxton judah and zayn have uh the invention of flight me and zayn have cardamom i have red licorice me callan and logan have same wave logan has locked in and has been familiar buddha has um he's working on a solo record and then him in calallen have uh pop culture and then callum has callio the list goes on you know and then judah's scoring he's got his original stuff under judah earl and he's scoring a bunch of stuff from like netflix and so like there's all this like super fun collaboration that goes on part of what happens is you end up with like it could be anything from a pro tools error to you know some problem you've never run into or or you discover something really cool on a plug-in yeah and you run down the hall and you're like yo check this out or hey have you ever can you help me yes and then it's like yeah i can help you with that or whatever so yeah so uh this is the lobby so when you first walk in you got this and we've set it up a bunch of different ways tv video games whatever but when kovit hit we kind of like switched it up and honestly like i've been hesitant to put a tv back out here because it's just kind of been a vibe just everybody hanging and and just we just talk out here have meals together out here and all that kind of stuff so that's that and my room's in there we'll go in there in a little bit judah's in there bathroom of course and i'll give you this too a clean nice professional space except for don't don't don't get the garbage can and squatty potty yeah for sure a nice little kitchen a little kitchenette calen's right there in studio c this is really really nice and very well maintained for the fact that there's not like a manager telling people to keep it clean true true i love that come on in oh wow and so yeah this is our live room this room is absolutely yeah amazing we have fun in here so baldwin grand piano signed by john tesh actually it lived its life and i think um a lutheran church if i remember correctly in milwaukee wisconsin i'm from right outside of milwaukee and a friend of mine is a piano tech up there and builder and he he uh sold this piano the first time and then the church wanted to sell it and i was looking for something and i wanted something a little different so we scooped this up and then we felted it and that that was that was cool man that was a game changer like i know felt's kind of the thing right now but there's something with like the way the timbre of the piano change it just felt really really good like sometimes a grand piano can just be too much on a record like it feels almost too much space but when we felted it it was like man it just it just like took it down a little notch and like mellowed it out and fit super well so yeah so we got that the square footage in here and the height is just so inviting and opens up a lot of creative doors which is really really cool yeah so like we've had whole bands in here and like little chamber orchestras and like last night you were in here filming that we had a choir doing a oh that's right yeah i got that yeah which is super cool for a new country in uh in africa which is really cool and um i'm a drummer so dude this whole thing yeah it's almost like a separate drum room yeah right and that was cool so jhs petals is next door josh is my homie and uh he had a studio space for a while he's like i'm getting a drum brother you wanted an umbrella and i was like yeah i want a drum brother and he was like all right i'll have the dude build you a goji one too so he like framed it out and we just like finished it out and actually what was crazy was when he built it i had no idea what the measurements were going to be we couldn't even fit it yeah through the doors like chop it in half and get it through the door and then put it back together so and that comes up here on this pulley system yes on that winch yeah and then you got the little remote here yep that's so cool yeah and that's cool because the room the room's a little live right now and so it's cool because you can tighten the kit up and we've done some like full live bands in here and stuff and it's cool drop it like really really low oh yeah put some gobos around it and kind of make a little a little bitty room inside of a big room so i just got this a couple months ago i hadn't bought a kid in a while and i found like i would buy like samples and sounds and synths and all that stuff then i would go to play drums and i'll be like man it's the same old same world you know you kind of get tired of the same old sounds and so i'm like you know what i'm gonna get a new kit my friend owns a couple music stores back in wisconsin and i saw this thing pop up it's like 64.65 i think oh nice keystone badge with the piano black like that pain it's chipped up just right so yeah i had to scoop it up what's cool is a lot of the music i've heard from you sounds to me like loops and samples and uh vsts and stuff like that but you're like you come from a musician background for sure integrate both live instruments with the world of samples and and vsts and just mesh them all together in your own particular way yeah yeah so like utah like i played on lights out that's real drums and i played on i think when people come together part of that is mostly just that like i like the way the program drums fit better yeah but i kind of programmed thinking like a drummer yeah so anyways yeah it's fun and red licorice like that's all program drums right now because there's this like fine line of where the genre crosses over sure a little bit and so i like kind of staying true to the to the hip-hop vibes you know and sampling stuff or play like on my iphone and sample it off my iphone because it kind of sounds trashy and cool and is this a collaboration of everyone's drums all of them are mine except for the tama kit that's my friend dave brown so this is like a early 70s ludwig so it's got the the pointy in the round on the badge and that's got three three ply shells with reinforcement hoops pretty much the same type of shells as this and then this beach custom kit i've had for i got that as a graduation high school graduation present so i've had that for a long time and i've toured all over the country with that joker and then the snare too and then this one is cool like this is like a 50 it's either 56 or 57 slingerland so i walked into a music store and i like never at least at that time i'd like never done this before but i walked in i saw this and i was like that looks cool put it on a stand hit it once and i was like i'll take it and then my friend told me he was like that worked at the store he was like dude he was like you know it's crazy and this was in in milwaukee and he was like that came from this retired session player he just retired sold us a handful of his stuff and he's like so that things like lived in a studio and now it's going to go back to living in the studio which i thought was super cool one thing i guess i haven't seen or asked about yet is uh microphones oh where do you guys keep mics and okay is it like a community or you guys kind of just borrow stuff and keep it and i don't have like a lot of mics so everybody uses a bunch of my stuff and then everybody else has some of their own as well oh great this is so we love this like road case thing so okay yeah so when your friend is josh and he has jhs pedals oh sometimes you inherit really cool stuff look at that like this so this was made for this is so nice for them and they didn't need it anymore so they were doing 500 series modules for a while and i have a couple in there and here i have a couple right here too and this was like their display cases that name cascade c77s pair of those those are great those are ribbons yeah ribbons yeah like like the what is it the rca oh seventy seven sevens yes that's right and then some fat heads oh yeah we have three of those i skate i gotta get some cascades cascades are great man and they were like the first pair of fat ads i got unfortunately they got stolen years ago but like they used to be 300 bucks shipped for a stereo pair m audio sputnik sleeper mic for sure those are cool yeah two mic power supplies in here somewhere but yeah these are cool like i don't remember who it was but they hired some some big mike mint like some some mic builder guy to like build it and so people just don't know because it's a m audio like never been known for microphones at all yeah for microphones like at all exactly and then uh adk custom one model tc but it's the u67 so that's cool what are you grabbing when you go to record drums for yourself when i'm doing drums my favorite i don't own my own right now but i love the um aea and eights on time on toms guy yeah that's my favorite dude that's great yeah and so right now we usually use um the c77s instead the n8 that's the same ribbons from the r88 putting those on yeah yeah amazing yeah and might get like mic it like kind of on the side so you're back a little bit yeah yeah and then you get the whole tom sound it just sounds like a mixed tom like it sounds wow like amazing and as a drummer you have to play balance because yeah you get a little bit extra in the mic but that's like my favorite and then kick either re20 inside okay uh what is the we have an eevee mic i always forget the name of it the nd 868 and that's on the outside yeah or inside okay it just depends on the sound of the kick overheads depends on the style yeah sometimes i like ribbons over the top sometimes i like one center ribbon and then two large diaphragms on the outside so we have that's cool ksm44 is ksm32s tlm-103s or maybe like sputniks it just kind of depends on the on the vibe if i'm tracking somebody else i'll put more stuff up just because i'm not always sure if i'm tracking myself if i can be more specific i'll only put up a few mics that i think sound really cool and try to do it like that and not not have like a ton of extra yeah and try to capture like a really cool room thing like either between the room mic or like overhead mic something that sort of captures the whole kit and then put everything else like scoot everything else in like like sometimes ribbons on the snare sound cool too wow um back a little bit or some seven i like sm7 on the snare what about rooms rooms some large diaphragm something or okay or something depends or both like if we're not using the c77s maybe those out here in the room or the fat heads in the room and then i like the shirts in the room those feel pretty good and they're multiple patterns or whatever so you can kind of play around with something like that we have a aea rd4 so that sounds cool yeah like as a mono and then for this kind of room specifically yeah where are you putting the room mics look at this room honestly i walk around so we've tracked drums like everywhere in here right here facing this way in front of the window facing that way built little like taking all the gobos put them all the way around the kit put some more on top of it and make like a little hut we've cut them over there so it just depends usually if i'm going to be the one playing i'll have somebody else play and i'll just kind of walk around the room and see where i'm feeling where i feel like it feels really good so yeah sometimes really high sometimes more low shots i like grabbing those gobo walls putting them out kind of blocking that area off a little bit more and then sometimes i'll put a pair right behind and braxton who works here too he loves to do that too we'll put like room mics right behind the walls yeah and that feels super good too yeah and then and then you could always put something way back here or we've like opened up the door for the hallway and put put a room mic all the way out in the front yeah and get some kind of cool crazy slap on yeah it's fun and we haven't done this yet but i haven't had the right record to do it for there's more studios up here but like yeah i'm like i have to get that you know what i mean so so yeah zane's straight across the hall matt and logan are upstairs adam's room is here there's another bathroom back there we have three bathrooms which is nice because for years when we were only on this side yeah we have one bathroom that's right and that's like the worst so whose idea was this also super funny because shout out to jhs again they had this in their old studio and we're like we're gonna throw this away and i was like i'll totally use that so that works pretty good and then braxton who works here this is his little like tech station and there's a pedal company brown that's right here they make the protein and the t4 right now so then you have these two more pianos over here yeah we have two more so i mean you know how this goes when you have a building like you inherit things so my friend khalid who now works at sweetwater he worked out of here for a while and this was his and when he moved out he was like man if you want to keep it you can keep it and it's super cool sounding upright i have no idea what brand it is because it's always been missing all the those those parts i've never owned those so that's a fun one and this is a kauai and this is actually the landlord of the building he was like can i store that here for a while and he's like i'm sure yeah are these all fake plants yeah for sure because there's no lightning i was gonna say how are you guys maintaining those fake plants one of my daughters came in and she was like dad you need some plants back there i was like you're right you're right so the other night i came in and the room just sort of magnetically drew me to the drums and i started playing and before i knew it judah was playing basically he was on the base yeah yeah and he came in and played piano that's right we were jamming for like an hour and a half two hours like it was non-stop which is really cool to just be able to walk into a room and then suddenly you guys are making something on accident whose base rig is that's judas yeah that's judas and it kind of like goes off and on between being set up like that and not and even the piano like we used to have the piano over here in the middle but then we found like you wouldn't have as many of those jam sessions or if you did it just didn't feel as comfortable right so having stuff sitting around usually there's an amp sitting right over here to a guitar ramp that's plugged in so that way if a spontaneous jam session happens then it happens just a collection of fun stuff man all these little things over here that you can grab and also being able to see and access stuff makes like at the right time you're like this is what we need let's try this on the melody yeah yeah because you know you find like um if it's not quick it just doesn't happen yeah so like we even have like i have a juno zane has a juno but we also have the tau juno plug-in yeah and you'd be surprised how many times that'll get pulled up because it's really really fast even though our stuff's like all wired up and everything and then you're like wait we should probably go back and like do that through the real juno and sometimes you do and sometimes you don't you're like but it's already done yeah sometimes the plugin is a vibe and you just roll with it you know so you've got this lowry yup this is fun is this one of those yeah i inherited this too the yeah super fun and we were just in here messing the other day and a bunch of the guys were jamming on it and coming up with like super cool stuff so and then what a collection of guitar amps yup and i can't tell you that much about him because i'm not a guitar dork but shout out to the guitar dorks uh i just know that they sound good i'd love this this is braxton silvertone in his basement and most of the amps that get used on a regular basis are in everybody's room like zane's got his benson and adam's got custom browns and i've got i don't even know what i have yeah yours is on the iso yeah we'll talk about that when we get in there yeah yeah b and h wow cool like sort of mystery yeah and like some cabs like these are um dave brown who who does the pedals like he also builds amps and guitars and cabinets and stuff too and then what's this guy over here electra piano rmi yeah yeah this is like i don't remember the keys player from the door's name he played that just kind of funky takes pedals well i used to use it a whole lot more i don't really use it too much right now but it's fun that's great and you got some folk house just chilling yeah right so judah just got i don't know how many months ago a few months ago he got down audio the the core 59s and these are his old ones so dude well here i'll tell you this thing too real quick so my high school had a studio what and which was like not normal back then because i was in high school in the 90s and so we had tascam d88 machines and we had that tax score being bored and my band teacher was just super cool and he built a studio in there and so when i started going to school there one day i convinced him to let me mess with everything he was like man you don't know what you're doing and i was like no no no i do i do i do so a bunch of my friends and i stayed in from lunch and we just jammed and recorded it and i sat there and i messed with mix in it and stuff and i played it back for him and he was like okay jared like this is pretty cool man like you should you should keep coming in here and messing with it and so he just gave me free reign to come in wow play with stuff whenever i wanted and then the school band had to do some recordings and i did the recordings for him and stuff and he was like you should you should really think about doing this and i was like yeah i really want to can i ask how much did you get it for 200 bucks 200 bucks that's great yeah what is it i had no idea if it worked it was like yeah it's 16 with an eight bus and aux sends and all that i mixed a bunch of records on that thing cool uh controller let's do it i've been in this room for nine years i got a lot of memories in this room so spent a lot of time in here and had a lot of good times how big is this room do you know the dimensions i think it's like 250 250 260 something like that yeah that's something that's a nicer because you have these whisper ones on the back with the diffusion how far does that go back that goes back i think it goes back four inches we did uh like a while ago i'm pretty sure it's only four inches thick okay of of the whisper wall so like two panels in there two two inch panels and then up here this is two two inch panels as well but there's a little bit more of a gap on the corner behind the front to the to the back and then yeah on the corners because the corners can wing out and like my my cable access to the live room it's right there oh perfect yeah got an imac it's way too old how long have you been using it i think three years now but i bought it used and it was like an emergency buy i was like cutting a record and my computer just is like i'm done and so i like had to go get something and uh zane has a friend that resells max and so i was able to scoop that up and i was like i'm gonna use this for like six months or like a year that's it's a band-aid and then i was like wow this computer's pretty nice and so i just roll with it last year i was about to get a new computer found out about the m1s and i was like oh i'll just wait and get an m1 little did i realize like it'd be like a year later before it's taken him a minute yeah everything would be compatible and so this thing's just sort of like limping along just struggle it's on the struggle bus but it is what it is man so it's cool yeah it's been good to me i'm using pro tools which is probably like half my problem to be honest because pro tools isn't the most kind to sure to uh cpu and ram and all that fun stuff but and then these are your interfaces here the uh yeah x16 man i really dig those like they nailed it like they just sound really good and i got turned on to ua plugins man back in 2003 like when they first first came out they had the pcie card like single core pcie card and i was like man those sound really good and so went away from them for a long time and then ended up with one of the one of the satellites and was like oh man these are awesome yeah and so then i then i end up with three satellites i was on a symphony with like a modded alesis ai3 black line modded alesis ai3 for some extra ins and outs and stuff and scooped up one of those and was like okay this is awesome yeah yeah yeah and so then i went and got another one and then it's got all the same amount of cores in that as i had in all my satellites i found that to be enough especially like with mixing because some of those plugins are pretty hefty yeah ns10s and a bryston uh 3b down in a in a rack down there great um and then these i've been using these for uh it's been about a year and a half now so these are dutch and dutch 8cs and i've been on the speaker hunt for a while i had jbl 6328s and focal the same focals that judah has out there i had dynaudio lyd48s i actually really i really liked those but i kept feeling limited in volume and i was on the speaker hunt on the speaker hunt my friend brian calhoun who masters all my records we've had tons of conversations and he designs a bunch of studios with a company and finally he hit me up one day he goes jared i found your speakers and i was like you did and he was like yeah and i was like okay and he told me about him and then he told me how much they cost and i was like oh man he was like honestly man buy one's cry once yeah i was like oh dude and then uh and then um he was like what if what if they'll send you a demo pair like would you would you give them a shot and i was like yeah but i'm like i already know what that means like if i like him it's over you know what i mean yeah and he was like come on just give it a shot so i was like okay he had listened to me talk about speakers forever had never once been that direct so i was like okay he clearly is onto something and these are awesome man there they have the tweeter this is the mid-range woofer that's eight inch and then they have these little these little like port like vents on the sides it's like slightly different than like a normal port and then on the back there's two eight inch subwoofers on the back whoa hopefully i say this right but they're cardioid so it's kind of like live sound so it like cancels out bad stuff so like they're made to be studio or they can be used for like a hi-fi system like in a room that's not treated okay and then they have dsp stuff built in so i've been using them almost totally flat because i just love how they sound they keep updating the software so they now have like almost almost like a sonar works that you can that you can run on them and then you can go and you know flatten them out in your room or whatever i got them i hooked them up and we went and played what did we play it was uh the dark knight oh that one thing that's like you know what i'm talking about like yeah we played that and everybody lost their mind you need speakers that you trust and that you can hear what you need to hear on and like all that stuff once you get speakers that you super dig you kind of forget about them to me they have like the clarity that atc is really known for but then they have all this bottom that normally you would have to throw a sub in the room yeah i just get really hesitant to just like throw a sub in in a room it just doesn't always translate it's just tricky and this has been awesome so i super super dig those and then this is the uh the platform from output output yeah yeah the output desk man it's just a great desk like you used to have this puppy this was my first studio man like they came out this and i'm like the design is cool it's got the mid-century modern vibe and then i love all the like cable stuff like i'm using all of them i think except for this one here and the cable tray in the back you can kind of clean your stuff up i have too many cables so it's like it's never perfect but it's never perfect no no i'm tall so the like risers that they came with i just like bumped the keyboard tray back a little bit like once one thing back and then put it on the risers and that was a game changer awesome uh okay and then i gotta ask you about this equinox yeah yeah it's got 30 30 channels of summing so if you're on this you're on your doll one and two you're like default that's your summing and this is set up to be my return so like all the way back into pro tools and listening to that and then you got your mic pres and then the mix the summing runs through the mic pres so you can like bump the gain up on those if you want a little bit extra color nickel transformers iron transformers and steel transformers that is too big of a switch to make in the middle of like mixing a record but i was so excited so i like made a switch when i was like in the middle of mixing this record and then you had to remix all the first steps it just they all do their own thing you know what i'm saying so everything was changing and then thank god brian is like extremely gracious and i send him every mix i'd be like here's a nickel mix a iron makes a steel mix like i would send him like every transformer but it was fun because he was like dude i'm down let's dive and so we just dove in and like found kind of what the sauce was it just sounds amazing and i love the iron that's my that's my that's my jam it like never switches that's made so monitor control summing and and my crease and the mic yeah because you can access the mic pres if you want like they're in the patch base so you could just track through the mic breeze if you want as well well you have a ton of other stuff one one of the things under here that i saw is the profit is that set up both midi and analog yeah so that's my the profit i use it as my midi controller and then yeah it's all wired up so i have the motu midi brain there all the synths hit that and then there's a little behringer rack mixer over there and they all hit that and so that's fun because then you take the the stereo output of that and you can patch it in like we have the radials the the extcs so that those are that's patched up to the pedals so you can run the sense through there or have that 500 series dimension d chorus that pretty much always lives on the scene cool because it sounds cool like the juno has an amazing chorus and the prophet has a great chorus and all that too but there's something kind of about that so i'll toss that even on the back of of of the juno chorus and all that too so and and i had like a beat pad for years like uh i had an npc old mpc and then i had a the mpd like the pads with the fat pads and the corks and all the sensitivity stuff and all that and it was great and there's like this little tiny yamaha like cs and that one feels really really good too and so for years i use that as like as my beat my beat keyboard when you're tracking and you're using mic pres is there like a system for going out there versus in here or like do you have two that you're like i'm gonna use these two most of the time and then maybe i'll reach for some others febreze yeah i mean like my favorite priest of everything on here is the uh api 512bs these three actually have um old 25 20 op amps in them like the i can't remember what year they're from but they're the ones that like the label is white and blue okay so they're like pre the 2000s like i think oh wow some i think they both they all three have dates on them i think they're 90s i like the way those op amps sound better i'm not a fan of the newer the black ones with the silver and black sticker on them so the other ones these two have currently have louder than liftoff rogue sixes in them but then i also have rogue fives so we can swap them out and put those in the rogue fives are a little bit more modern sounding and the rogue sixes are a little bit more vintagey like they just kind of saturate a little bit more a little bit more mid forward and i'll try stuff through through through other things too like whatever sometimes you've got these beautiful 610 you've got the what's the 6176 yeah 6176 so 610 with the 1176 610 with the opto on the other side this is the like the ampex um 360. i don't know somebody can correct me but or 350 something like that um tube tube preamp with like the most insane amount of gain it is what it is it's just got like a ton of color and what characters so like it either works or it just doesn't work but it's super fun when it does work it sounds really cool and then golden age um 373s so just knee preamp copies this is one unit and it's like two units in one unit these are all separate units and then they just make a rack where they can all sit there together so and then two vintage did you get those earlier i got those in i think 2010. i worked out a deal to where i got to be a dealer and i had like five friends that all wanted them oh nice and so it worked out and then if you bought like a certain amount you got one free and then yeah audioscape mid-range pull tags those are fun right now those have been living on uh my vocal bus for mixing um and then we'll try to throw a snare through it or throw something through it for tracking or room mic sound cool la2a this is actually an early audioscape so before they had their own uh meters and logo that is so rad and all that yeah which i love i kind of wish they both had the same thing just so they match but it's all good they sound great and i love that they took the high filter and put it on the front yeah because it's kind of a game changer for being able to tweak that in real time on la2a and then what's this fairchild thing that's the stem child that's the take forever to get to you that's right yeah for sure he knows what i'm talking about so longer than childbirth that's the two and a half years yeah right this is yeah you could have you could think about having a kid have a kid yeah raise your kid have another kid before you get the stamp out man but it's good that right it sounds amazing it really does i hope you leave all that in the video you resented a little bit though i had the um mastering pots put in it too so it's fully recallable um everything except for um the output the output is variable everything else that's nice even the dry wet is is all detented and so which i love that so if i'm using it for tracking and then i but i'm also using it for mixing it's like i can get exactly back to where i was before no guessing is this a bus compressor ssl kind of thing yeah so like my mix chain it goes out of pro tools hits the equinox comes over here hits the silver bullet and this thing is crazy because like zane told me about it a friend of his got one and he was like man you got to hear this silver bullet i was like really is it really that cool and then he bought one and we started running some mixes to it like it really is that cool like whoa i was really blown away and he's mixing with a bro vancouver so i mean he's got a really cool summing box as well and i just heard it i was like this is neat and like you got the apis the neves you can go api or neve api into neve into api jeez you can use it it's got two input two stereo inputs no sorry three stereo inputs two serial outputs so you have a mix setup track or bypass so that'll bypass the mix but you could run like a keyboard straight into it or something like that and then you've got mics mic pres so you can run these as stereo mic breeze or you could just run one side and do mono and you can switch between uh api and eve or like i said you can run them into each other which is really cool and then you can cut cut this circuit in and out that's they call that the mojo so that drives into it so this on the api side they come with uh rogue five op amps in them and i switched it and i bought the rogue sixes and tossed them in there because that's what they had in the void corp edition they're like black edition and so i swapped them out and put that in and i loved it because it was just a little bit more gritty and i love i love that stuff and then it's got a filter on it and then a baxon doll eq and then this vintage button just kind of rolls a little bit of extra top off and then you have the same ua clock right that's what that is the 2192 yeah and so this actually this i was running so i was going equinox silver bullet hit the bus compressor toss this on the end this is the over saturation i remember watching pensado like i don't know five six years ago something like that and he had a prototype of that yep and he was like this is the closest i've ever got to that console that center section drive yeah i was like well i want that and so you know how you do it you just i don't know if you do it like this but i do i just check reverb like a thousand times a day or whatever okay and one popped up for a really good deal and if you check a million times a day you know when it's a good deal and so i scooped it up and i threw it on the mix and like played with it for like i don't know for a few hours and like found this setting i'm just kind of weird yeah i'm covering her about that's like just leave it alone sounds awesome that's awesome and this is just a ssl copy who's it by um revive audio oh i love it i've had that for for a long time and it's got thrust medium and thrust low like the 2500 like the api 2500 oh cool and then it's got a side chain built in so you can either hook a side chain up an external one if you click all the way over here or it's got a built-in one that's one which is nice so if depending on what i'm doing a lot of times it just sits on off i just dig the vibe of it and it's got the turbo mode thing which is like a mod i think they did later on the ssl ones everybody says sound better i don't know i like the way that sounds better so i always leave it in i think the audio escape guy told me he builds all his with that on all the time okay nice so there's that and then this little behringer edison which is a stereo widening uh really and i found out about that from my friend khalid that i was talking about earlier that works at sweetwater probably gonna get this wrong but he was hanging with i think the dude that makes daft punk it was either him or another mixed guy but he was like you want no secret weapon he was like this like 80 dollar behringer rack thing yeah zero wineries like i use on like every mix wow and they don't make it anymore and so he was like and so he found one yeah and he was like jared like you have to understand this is really cool and i always do a little little widening or whatever and so i found one i just again just hounded i think i got it on either reverb or ebay and that's been living on my bus and then yeah i was using this all my mixes were hitting this for a few years i bought that from jordan kreitz actually oh switched over to um the bombers the beach i remember yeah yeah yeah and so when he got rid of that i snagged that because the 2192 is the borough dude before he started bro right so it's kind of you know kind of has that bro vibe all right last two things i'll ask you about one is this mic over here is this the go-to for vocals and acoustic and stuff as it probably always goes the go-to changes right like yeah probably with whatever is new and fun so this is a sc gemini 2 2 mike i was looking for something that would kind of get into the c800 okay g vibes a little bit and this just has this like really beautiful top i found that i could just run it through something i didn't need to put any add any top so like the last record that i cut and used that mic as far as on the actual channel right i never added any top it was there it was just there and just felt really good and really natural that's awesome um yeah it sounds really cool and sc stuff's not this is not that pricey tell me about the amp setup because you told me this is okay yeah so situation here i've just been trying to find something like i like tracking through an amp there's just something about that i just i grew up playing bands in yeah direct guitar is cool and sometimes that's the vibe but i like tracking through an amp and it's just not always convenient to have a guitar amp just blaring either in here or in the live room or whatever because multiple people use it and i do have a mojo tone i so box out there that's hooked up to this room as well so we can switch what the amp is hooked up into and it can go out there but this thing found this guy on reverb and unfortunately he's not making it anymore we're hoping that he comes back it's called a micro room it's got an eight inch speaker in it and then an attenuator and so basically his whole thing was all these people take like a really good speaker that's made to be like you know in a regular box a regular cabinet yeah yeah and they take that and they put it in an iso box and they wonder why it sounds bad yeah and he was like i went through and found a speaker that sounds good in an iso box so he was like you probably wouldn't like that speaker if you if it was took it out of that box you'd be like oh i don't like this and so he did that and then there's something with the way he did this like attenuation thing so the amp thinks it's playing louder yeah and it's not a normal attenuator i guess like dave looked into this yeah it's like it's more than that so there's some kind of series thing that he's doing so like i can have the jackson that's a 18 watt two vamp okay you crank it all the way up and yeah it's like really you can hear you can't hear it yeah but it's like really quiet yeah that's which is insane and then what's cool so i have a centronics halo uh dynamic mic in there and it's just plugged straight into the hozo patchback up right there and so like we can just track real guitar so like on all the utah stuff like especially anything that's been over the last year yeah yeah probably last year that's all been that's so cool right there in that box which is super cool and then just swap out amp pads if we want because a bunch of the guys have really cool heads yeah and it can handle um i'm trying to think adam has two and i think he's done like 50 watt two pads into it and so holy gown yeah dang yeah so that's that's a game changer because you can sit here and we're tracking like miced up amp guitars with monitors on them with monitors on we're talking yep and we're not interrupting the recording and the recording is not interrupting us which is that's super cool so scully tape machine i found on craigslist like i think seven years ago maybe eight for 250 bucks what yeah oh my god which is kind of insane there was a studio here in town and there was a guy that was mastering a bunch and he had scooped up an mci i don't i can't remember if he got amara machines or what yeah he got a mci deck that had um quarter inch and half inch heads and this is just a quarter inch machine so he didn't need it anymore yeah and honestly it just we were mixing the new utah record we don't mix every one of our records to tape but we mix like we've mixed about half our records to tape and we were we got through half the record and and it just in it and it just went out on us which was so sad so like the pinch wheel needs to get replaced so anybody watching if anybody knows of somebody that can help help me get some parts because my tech can put it back together i just need um a couple little parts so we can recalibrate it because i miss it man it's like it's special and it's got the very speed so you can get 30 ips on it which normally these only went to 15 yeah without that on there and so like dude it's just like i don't know there's something special about it like i have all the tape plugins i probably have them like not every single one but i have most of them yeah and i'll like go back and forth and compare but there's just yeah something special about it and you drive into it kind of hard and hit the needles and like what it does to the bottom is really cool and so yeah like here's some this is utah tapes right here that's our third ep that's our fifth ep so yeah man that's awesome well thank you for doing this and and let me come hang and i've been holding it because i've been here for a few days holding in all day and we've been hanging in here no it's been tough i know for sure we've started conversations and then we'll like direct them uh direct them somewhere else so that we don't uh so we don't spoil it and man let me just say go get louder than liftoff stuff those are those these are so cool yeah and they're like this super small operation they're so friendly so kind they just came out with a new version of the silver bullet where they added the ssl cards in it too oh nice that looks so awesome and so i just want to plug that all right yeah shout out to them yeah uh and shout out to you i'll put your instagram and your artist stuff and whatever else utah ttl group that's the squad i'll put it all down in the description so people can follow you and uh i will stop recording this and we'll keep hanging alright cool see you guys
