I’ve worked with Alec a few times in the Cabin. The feeling I always come away with is that, more that the great equipment, Alec uses his ears, his skill and his enthusiastic character to make the session a pleasure. Tiring, yes, but also incredibly fulfilling,.

Alec, that is an absolute beautiful and inspiring place, you created there. I bet most the musicians feel exactly the way, you want them to feel and get into creation mood easily at your place! I would be so much interested to see tutorials from your work as well - how do you record things, how you mix them, all that. Thanks for your work!

Beautiful space Alec! 🙌 Very proud that we made the cut! 💪

Excellent, Alec!

One of my absolute favourite places and one of my absolute favoute people. Killer combo.

beautiful studio alec

Very cool well done

Beautiful place. Very inspiring!

Amazing setup 🤩

Thanks and keep on with the great vibes!

Nice overview Alec. Lots of great gear here... all brought together with your talent and experience which is the most valuable thing in your studio. Thanks for sharing.

When an awesome workspace to go and be most creative, thank you so very much for sharing your studio with all of us.

Lovely! Super great space, gear and cool human creating magic.

Love your channel bro!!!! Rad studio!!!

Good video ----- very interesting.

Merci!

Keep up the great work mate. I love these videos

The safest of safe spaces x

Thanks for this Alec! Fantastic as always!

Thanks …such a brilliant video well done 👍

you are my favourite channel. nearly everything you review, I want because you make it sound amazing. so I have decided I'll just buy your song writing skills 😜 but seriously, you should be very proud

Great studio, full of cool gear. - like you, I spend all day in a windowless room and I think it’s a bit depressing. Maybe get a window to keep your mind and mood in tune.

Thanks!

First , not that I know anything about it...but I love the color in your videos! B roll of the gear has a great look to it. Love you're videos, I follow at least 20 different engineers and you are one of my favorites

I smiled at the percussion bit! Thanks Alec

Fabulous space! Thanks for the insight and making this film!

Awesome studio, congratulations!

more videos on recording instruments! your channel is amazing:)

Very inspiring, brother. Keep up the great work.

Creative Space for creative people with good vibes.

Valeu!

How about a review of your acoustic panels and bass traps, including placement? Lots of money can easily get sunk into those sorts of things.

I hope this doesn't come across as rude but my biggest question is... How do you afford all that gear? I'm a fairly successful musician but the idea of throwing hundreds of thousands towards a space and gear just seems crazy to me as there is such a lack of local bands in Northern Ireland that would ever be able to pay for sessions.

Excelente espacio Alec y tambien el sonido de tus producciones. Saludos desde Perú.

Alec...that caramel guitar needs more love man.

Great content, great channel. I enjoy every single video. I would love to see how you record synths, drum machines and virtual instruments through preamps and outboard gear. I'm always interested in the workflow of other musicians.

You NEED to make a review on that Oto Bam. I am thinking about grabbing one for my homemade singer songwriter recordings, to use it as an insert hardware reverb into my SSL SiX. Is it that magic?

Hey Alec, as to your last point... I think having the console and recording "hub" in the same room with the performers, definitely gives the performers a sense that everyone is in this together, and sets them more at ease. But, I was wondering how you feel about actually trying to get sounds when you are in the room with the instruments and you can't really isolate what you are hearing on the channel from what you are hearing in the room, especially with drums?

Amazing space you've created there! inspirational. Did you build the structure of the cabin itself?

太帅啦 我也要像你一样 ：D

Alec, this was fantastic! Watching it again as I type. So fun to see the whole set up, and to hear some great perspectives. Also, very funny😊 Slightly unrelated question for you. I’m upgrading my 2-channel interface. DSP and/or software not necessary for me, but I’d really like some smokin conversion. Any recommendations?

guy.Howw’s everything going?~like~best editing. ;)

Thanks for the video. Can you tell us more about the cabin. Is it really a cabin? Are you in the basement. I’m trying to build a studio and I’m struggling on how to build the building

Please review the golden age comp2a

Love your studio space mate, so nice and cozy 👌🏼 I’ve been on a studio monitor journey for the last few years and currently with the amphion two18’s which I’ve been liking but sometimes find them hard to feel the music emotionally but have been great for mixing and mastering. Have you heard them? If so, how would you compare the ATC’s? Thinking I haven’t landed on my dream monitor as of yet and love your work. ✌🏼

Why are you regretting not purchasing the active AEA R88 Mic over the passive one? I'm just about to pull the trigger on one of these bad boys

Hello Alec, what an inspiring place to create a record ! I've got some doubts on the applicabilities of the Coles mics and wondering now if you could help me as I am about acquiring a pair. Have you tried them to record acoustic guitar environments (guitar and vocals/room ambience) using the blumlein configuration? I like their sound a lot, but almost all sound examples I found are on their use in drums and I'd really like to get a feedback on how they work for the particular use I said. I take the chance to also thank you for sharing you gear and your talent :)

Hey Alec!! :) I Love Your Channel Bro!!! Such great content and reviews!! :) So so very helpful! I have been a subscriber of yours I believe for a few years now but I've never written a comment or a question until now so I hope you don't mind because I would really appreciate your advice. I recently purchased a new Telefunken 251, a new Neve 1073SPX, and a new TubeTech CL-1B, and I am very grateful to have this gear and to have finally accomplished this goal after many years of waiting. Anyways, after watching so many of your videos and reviews and the high quality of your work, your ear, and your taste in sound I highly value your advice and opinion. So, the issue is that I am considering buying an API 512v for my 251 because I hear they are more open and up front sounding which is what I like, and anyways, my question is since you have used both, yours being a DPX, but the same as SPX, just Dual, what do you think of my thought on this and what is your honest opinion and preference, concerning vocals, between your Neve 1073DPX and the API 512v on Vocals?? And I guess that's all. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and I really look forward to your reply, opinion, and advice. Till then, Cheers!! :) >>>>>>> Sincerely, - CALEB SHAW -

Always love the videos and music man, keep up the great work! By the way, I think you meant to say most of your panels are "GIK 242" panels, but you said GIK "244" panels, which are bass traps :)

Coles 4038 have more self noise?

Hey Alec ! Since you own a lot of different mics, what’s your favorite on drum overheads ?

Hey alright

Hey Alec, your channel is the best, i love it ! I have a few questions if you allow me. I don't think you mentioned your digital-analogue converter ... does the Audient console do it (sry i'm a newbie concerning consoles) ? You owned a Cranborne R8 before, what did you think of the converter in it ? Why did you kicked it out of your studio ?

what audio interface or converters do you use for the audient console?

Great tour. Would you still recommend the Cranborne R8 for a home studio?

Is that the M49V on that shelf?! Do you still have your FleA 49?

Wow, cool stuff situated near Liverpool and it hasn't all been stolen yet! Wonders never cease!

Yeah! Comment #90 and like #300 :D I know...im weird lol

And what DAW is being used the most?

if the components are so good why do we still have crap compressed to hell sound only quality fit for Radio only and mp3, we are still living in the loudness wars of crap quality sound 🤔😂🤣 .

The singing was too much but ok, ynwa 😂

You should record VDO with more FPS and higher f. It's too blur sometime. But your sound awsome as always.

Very cool well done
