Plugins will never do better than actual gears ! Never.. .

Hope this helps get a few pillow cases!

I love your philosophy and your ethics. Totally in tune. Keep doing what you're doing. I believe in what you're doing. Massive Happy New Year to you!

You have completely missed the point of the sound on sound review, at the end he mentions that if the original Auratone design had been followed faithfully, they would still be extremely useful. That’s the problem. So while I agree the new design isn’t as useful as the narrow focus of the original 80s versions of you have the origins 80s versions you can use them for very specific fine tuning. Listen to any 70s classic on pair of Jbl 4311s and you will likely hear the intended final studio mix. Would I get another single driver cube monitor for my final mix? Mixing for a pair of Apple headphones probably makes more sense but what self respecting engineer wants to do that.

I love the transparency in this video lads. Would love the new studio to manifest for you 🤘

Superb content. This is the stuff that I just love learning. Second time watching this.

Good discussion on the Behringer stuff. I'm not a fanboi of the brand, but there's no question that if you buy their more expensive gear, it tends to punch far above its weight. I have a UMC204HD audio interface and I think the Midas preamps are fine. The only real downfall of the unit is its metering, which is just two LEDs (signal and clipping), but even then the noise floor is low enough that it hasn't proven to be a problem.

Interesting developments, good luck!

Nothing opens on my mac mini m1, Not Blackmagic, external audio plugins I use in Logic pro, although at least Logic loads. After several weeks of dead ends, I am ditching the m1and going back to my old macs

Regarding crowd funding cs “working for it”, I understand what Mark means, but I’d like to invite you to think of it slightly differently. You have given us a wealth of information and entertainment on this platform, and you have fostered a wonderful community both here and on discord. You’ve done so, and will continue to do so without asking anything in return. That all required no small amounts of work on your part. Crowd funding even a part of this project would allow us to say thank you for all that work, allow us to feel like we were part of building this incredible dream studio, and possibly allow us to experience the studio even sooner. You could even have a wall with our names on it!

If you recreated the biggest Gocusrite Studio Console, and film a docuseries, I would watch that with a bowl of popcorn and a beverage. I’d make a whole evening of it!

I used three 22" ViewSonic CRT for video editing, worked very well indeed

Why dont you ask for crowd funding from your subscribers via patreon or something? If everyone who subscribed to the channel gave you £40, that would be £1.92m and you could in return give them a set of in depth videos on the patreon showing how you go through the building process etc. etc.

I had a fantastic experience with an online course, the one run by Per Bristow about signing with freedom. He has many courses similar to this one, and he is very knowledgeable. I only had expieriance with the singing one for only the first month or two from a yearly plan. Never felt like I regretted it. It all depends on the content, how good it is. He also runs one on one sessions if you want it. Amazing stuff really. Nothing scummy about it. There are other courses where indeed it’s scummy, but again it depends on the content.

Where is the new building planned to be?

Wow! 😱

This is the second time watching this, as I've yet to decide upon my first _proper_ studio monitors. (I'm slumming it with a crap 2.1 multimedia setup.) With your evaluation that the 8" setup works better as mid-field monitors, it could be the FX50 would work better as near-fields. I don't know enough audio physics to know whether the ratio of the tweeter wave guide to woofer size on the FX50 would make for less or more smearing though. Due to the tendency towards distortion, I imagine both the FX80 and FX50 kit would work better with a sub and HPF engaged to reduce the lows the amps need to process. The search continues.

Life is to short go for it

I hope you guys pull it off. I'm a huge fan of manifesting/Law of Attraction and completely agree that the secret sauce is taking inspired action. Without action, it's all just pointless hopes and dreams.

This sounds very very interesting. Looking forward to hearing more about your plans.

Really excited for you guys. Looking forward to it! Thanks for sharing the vision. You had me checking out the Focusrite ISA preamps while I was listening :D

You guys are radio rental barking mad :) but you deserve this to happen and I believe you can do this :) Keep believing keep dreaming :) Build it and they will come :) Best wishes always.

The educational business plan alone would be a very big draw world wide. I look forward to when that begins. How can help and what do you need?

Great to see such enthusiasm from you guys. One question, where was Floppy? I'm super excited about your plans and wish you all the success that you deserve. Have a great and productive New Year. If all of your channel subscribers paid PDP a mere £3.00p, you would be well on your way to your financial journey to the Dream Studio.

I thought that guy was serious in the beginning!!! LOL 1st time viewing this channel!!!

Great video. You can get really clever and wire all three desks to one control or all controls to the mix desk, set your memories and away you go. Love the channel!

Could something like dynamat placed on most of the surfaces, certainly the front, also achieve similar results?

I think the concensus here is that you got a bad unit. Mine sounds amazing.

Merry Merry and Happy Happy, gents. It's great to see that things are good and the future looks bright. Looking forward to seeing what happens with the sub development. I've binged through your entire video catalogue, so now I guess I'll do the same with the livestreams. heh.

A little earlier today, I took a client song and duplicated the project. Opened it and changed it to use the Dolby Atmos renderer and _without even doing anything else_ I could already hear the instrumentation in my cans quite differently. That was very much unexpected. BBC SO seems to like this.

Man. Few things get me revved up like the sound of a Hammond + Leslie. Maybe a great Rhodes. Think I need to pull out some Joey DeFrancesco.

Fun video, thanks! I just switched to Logic Pro and purchased this control surface (after returning the Nectar CS12). It is PERFECT for what I want to do with it. Build quality is better than expected...time will tell. Notes: 1.) The automatic install did not work correctly. After deleting the automatically added surface and manually adding a new "mackie mcu pro" it works like a dream. 2.) They may have upgraded the components. The encoders feel great, the slider is quiet and smooth. 3.) The overlays are a thick plastic with 3M double sided tape to secure them if you choose.

Great discussion. I have Warren's book and I can only agree that it's fantastic. It's incredibly dense. I hope that you guys will do more stuff with Warren, even if it ends up being over Zoom or the like.

Interesting discussion. I had a serious problem with Logic (10.7.9 on Monterey) recently where if I bounced my master out to WAV, one of the MIDI instruments muted part-way through the track. I spent days trying to figure out what was going on and never solved it. Bouncing to AIF works fine. Go figure. Alas, when I'm delivering a final master to a client who isn't on a Mac (most of them), they prefer WAV over AIF. I guess I'll have to have a look at Studio One since one of my clients is toying with the idea of making their next game in Unreal Engine, which supports Atmos.

Well Done guys I am sure 2025 is going to be fantastic for you all at PDP. Have a great xmas :)

Awesome stuff. Will there be an option to purchase a DIY kit in the future?

I love the format, but the 2TB storage limit is a deal-breaker for me. Shame. If I could get 4TB or more storage, this would literally be the perfect fit for my bedroom studio.

You know, this is fast becoming my favourite channel. Honestly, it's criminal that you've not yet got 100k subs. Great advice, great production AND FlopCat. P.S.- Yes, I _am_ working my way chronologically through all your uploads.

Interesting. In my case, I'm doing a lot of strings via Spitfire's BBC Symphony Orchestra. There are so many different voices in the instrumentation that the only way to be productive is to have a strings template that I can load for writing and recording these compositions. That said, though, if I'm just doing a rock, pop or other non-strings track, the template stays unloaded and we just build up the tracks from scratch.

You guys are flippin hilarious.

Same brand cat treats the yogurt type things are a big one and then cheese and cat nip flavours of the bites are the best... trust ;)

I'm excited to see that MUM XL!

Wow thanks Mark for the call out! You motivated me to do more. :)

Happy Christmas ❤
