That mackie is prety cool.

So surreal to watch as someone that grew up across the street from Hole In The Wall Pizza and that rode to high school in Norm's blue van. I don't want to be 57 yet, dammit!

Thnx so much for this!

Someone finally confirming my low-key convictions. I have appollo x8p- yet to finalize any mix through it. Recently tracked & finalized a mix on the Wing(+S32) and sounds like I have really arrived. First time meeting/ hearing of you but love the truth you're spitting. They're timely for me beginning my studio journey in a small room w short ceiling. Following you 4 sho

I enjoy kicking back and listening to your content. You’ve been in the game a long time. I have lots to learn. I look forward to your future uploads. Thanks!

Is there any way you can give me advice on my room?

been using pro tools since 2007. I love it.

Would you recommend bae for the neve sound? I also notice you don’t use 500 series

This is great thank you.

A truly excellent video, thank you for taking the time to share this.

"Thriller" Thank you for your VIDEO :) always love to LEARN MORE :) George

you are so right on this video.. great job bro

Eric Clayton or Clapton? Links would be helpful actually.

Hey Devon! Great message, very well put. In an interview a little while ago we came to the same conclusion regarding reliable reference in the studio.

Great video, get it right at the source. I totally agree. Also the best investment in my studio has been acoustic treatment and good monitoring 👌🏼

Ah.... no. Ease of use is probably just as important as the others. If the studio is a pain to use nothing will get recorded.

Spot on, Devon! I've sorta put my rig together backwards. I've always had emphasis on good gear while having some treatment in my home recording studio, but it wasn't until this year that I really broke down and invested some good, thick bass traps and other acoustic panels, and just a few months back I upgraded my monitors from the "baby" Focals to PMC. (Almost got bigger Focals but PMC won out). Now my "expensive" every thing else-converters, preamps, summing/monitor control, etc. sound much clearer and accurate. Just plain better.

Can these three way focal can work in small ass room

Hey Devon! Just wanted to let you know that Mosquito is one of my all time favourite records (right next to A social grace)! I'm a long time fan of your work and this channel is also really great with lots of useful information. The stuff you mentioned in this video about acoustics and monitoring is way overlooked nowdays. Thanks for your great work and keep it up!

if the gear doesn't matter? Why u have a bunch of gear behind u?

I forgot to get back to an important point that the U67/Neve/1176 sounds amazing on SINGING, but it was too noisy for VO. For Voice Over work, the SM7b straight into the Audient iD44 works better! That is the chain you hear on this video with zero post processing. I will clarify that point on the video about mic preamps. So, till then!

yeah Avid is parasitic company ...I have last non-sub PT 11 ..works with OS 10.95 Mavericks

Dead Soul Tribe forever! Hello from Russia! Thank You for Your Music, Maestro!

Hey, i know its a little off topic, but i wanted to ask why ll the older Psychotic Waltz Albums got removed from Spotify?

Off-topic, I noted Dead Soul Tribe has been removed from Spotify and Amazon Streaming. I bought all the CDs, but cars don't have CDs players anymore. Will DST return to Spotify in the near future?

Great !

Thank You! as always

I'm sorry, but I've already signed up for ' *sing like a God* ', so... :]

Interesting comparion, thank you. Takeaway to me is: unless you have everything else really figured out (room, instruments, mics, performance) and can easily shell out the thousands of dollars for high end hardware, there's no point. The difference is virtually neglectable or at least highly disproportionate to the difference in price. If you're not coming from a 1073 which you are trying to emulate but instead use a clean signal (like from the ID44) and make it sound as best as you can with stock plugins, you'll lose a lot less sleep and also get a solid result. Nobody will ever tell you anyway that your recordings suck because no 1073 or whatever. Also interesting in this context is the "compressor scam" series by AP Mastering in which the guy demonstrates with a self-written plugin that compressors basically don't differ that much - it's more in the settings. He also has some quite revealing info about EQ.

I'm so glad I found this video! I also have a C24 on PT11HD Native on a customised HP Z400, and I have no plans to change/upgrade it - it's reliable! I too hark from earlier times as a freelance engineer during the 1980s, loving the huge Neve desks for orchestral stuff, and SSLs, and Studer A80s and A800s, and the glorious analog outboard gear. I still marvel that my current setup has so few limitations compared to the old days, and after discovering the somewhat sterile capabilities of Pro Tools, the C24 brought back the tactile joy of 'riding the faders'! Nowadays my studio mostly makes soundtracks for AI movies, which are edited on Davinci Resolve on a Mac Studio M2 Max - I really enjoy having a foot in both time zones, so-to-speak - a DAW and control surface expression of the 'good old days' of recording and mixing, as well as cutting-edge AI graphics and NLE video-making. I just wish my stack of old 2-track and 24-track tapes took up less space, and I had more time to digitise them!

Come on. I was trying to be Paul D’Anno. True story from Buddy

Again very informative video In my earlier comment I mentioned to pay for the help😅

Great videos Do you ever help people setup their studio I am looking for someone knowledgeable to help me I have c24 with older Mac a lot of outboard and a Amek console arrrgh just wondering Great videos 🎉😊

I will stay with my 4.1 system. Purchase a great set of front LR speakers. Dump the centre channel. Get an ok Rear RL speakers and a good sub that is all you need. People forget that the only reason for the centre channel is the anchor speech to the screen for those that are sitting to the far left and right such as in a big theatre. We for the most part don't need that in our homes. We don't need to listen to those horrible sounding horn speakers in the theatre where DB is all that matters. We can do so much better in our homes. So the next level after Atmos would be what. How many stupid speakers are we going to "need". How about a sub for each speaker? And a buttkicker in your chairs to "enhance" those supper lows. Wait a minute each speaker should also have lights that can be controlled also to mimic the lighting of what was going on. Things are gone stupid insane.

Apple is just the devil. Nothing but making people spend more and more money. Time to dump them. They are the 1984 that they were so against back in the day. Look at what the EU has forced them to change.

Atmos is a dead 🦜 Don't get fooled! 😠

I'm still using my PT10 which I got in 2016. When my computer died in 2022, I found a similar one on ebay for $50. All I had to do was move my harddrives to the new computer and I was good to go. I guess I'll stay with this system for as long as I can

Owning is king , operating off line is going to end up being the long lasting winner!! THEY CAN NOT SHUT US DOWN !! AI IS GOING TO DESTROY ALL THESE NEW SYSTEMS !!! THOSE WHO HOLD OUT AND DO NOT SHED THEIR EQUIPMENT WILL BE THE ONES LEFT ABLE TO TRULY RECORD!!!!

I do realise there is actual atmos music. But really it is a cinema audio format. I love Atmos for my movies and I have the speakers above where they are meant to be, none of this upfiring which does not give you true atmos. Sure some artists could mix in atmos, or even 5.1 audio but essentially these are cinema audio formats. Sure some music can sound good that way but again mostly music sounds better in stereo. What I am saying if you are using the bouncing off the walls and ceilings you are not hearing actual atmos, it is NOT a true representation of the sound format (Atmos). Also for you to say 5.1 etc never took off..I respectfully disagree. Many people nowadays have an atmos or 5.1 home cinema set up. Including myself. BTW I can make my music into 5.1, I don't have the software to create an atmos track for my music (yes I am a musician too). I have to add this too, yes 3D tvs fell off the face of the earth but the older audio sound formats have almost disappeared off the face of the earth, for a completely different reason, it is simply progression.. ....the reason barely any one uses pro logic (which you needed to be receiving a nicam stereo signal to your reveicer, to get pro logic at the time), is progression. As after original pro logic, they got it better, so then dolby digital comes along, then HD audio formats over taken dolby digital with true HD and HD master audio. Now it's Atmos, which like the pro logic needing a nicam signal, the atmos needs that HD mster audio or Dolby true HD to get. Atmos is inbedded into these HD audo fromats BTW. But all these older audo formats did not drop off the face of the earth, it is simply progression, that is all it is. We have come a long way in home cinema audio formats since the pro logic days. BTW I also have the night of the opera Blu ray audio, I also have the DVD audio disc. It sounds great, the voices in the prohets song is amazing. Also war of the worlds jeff wayne SACD sounds great that way. The brothers in arms SACD by dire straits sounds absolutely brilliant....All of those contain mullti channel audio tracks and I love listening to them. BTW albeit we slightly disagree on some things you picked up a sub ;) A sound person like myself I am interested in watching your vidz. Oh and what do I think, Atmos is not a gimmick, if done correctly it gives another dimension to your sound and I noticed it straight away when I heard it. Not only is it surround sound, it is just like going outside, When you are outside you are aware of sounds coming from above you not just around you. So it gives an additional presence in the room, which I love. But all in all it is a hit and miss with music. It is just better for movies, which is hardly surprising as Atmos is actually a cinema sound format. P.S I have atmos and it is set up correctly, it sounds brilliant. Bouncing off the walls is not a true representation of the sound format.

I've never understood why people use Pro Tools... until now.

You do not need to upload atmos in order to upload a normal lossless track on spotify or apple.. That is untrue

Hey bro does the C24 work worh protools 10.9.5

C24 is a great console. Only reason I sold mine was you could not run HUI and Eucon at the same time. Other then that I would have kept it.

You have the best breakdown videos with pro tools, thank you so much new subscriber

Hello sir, are you still active? This is a great video BTW

I use a C24 with a Mac mini M1 with the latest version of PT. I have to open PT under Rosetta to fully use the c24 and uncheck the Eucon controller. It's an amazing desk, pretty much like a real console. Previously, I had a Command 8 but I barely use it since I've had only 8 faders. Now, with 24 faders, I use it all the time. Making automation with real fader instead the mouse is awesome!! I don't use the analogue part of the c24 because I have several pre-amp better than those on the c24. I just wish to use the talback function like "auto talk back" but I have to integrate it to my Apollo's system. Sometimes, I forget to open or close talk back so this function will be very interesting for me. Any way, I love my c24 😍! 😃

Crazy how fast time goes by, I still play the early stuff in my truck cruising down the road I just cried watching this video

Pretty interesting take on hiphop. Do you really think hip-hop is about "gangsters surrounding you and threatening you"?

I'd take a D command over C24

While I agree with some of your points, the fact is that if you do actually have a proper multi-speaker setup, it is a superior experience. And I used to be a devoted 2-channel guy. Maybe go onto Audioholics and hear what they have to say...
