Advanced Studio Recording Techniques 01 - "Building an Echo Chamber" [Full Episode]

[@tracy3975]

Very kind of him to show us his chamber of reflections.

[@uniworkhorse]

This may be the realest example of what recording by yourself feels like

[@adderon]

No Vaseline. But with Vaseline

[@krakn3764]

Someone’s gonna look up “how to set up an echo chamber” and this will be the first result. I can’t wait.

[@alelollipop1903]

Someone greasy and with no business in music whatsoever

[@matthewdeward1984]

WOOOOOORD there is something unsettling about it

[@cyber_cunt2077]

[@eyeless368]

feels like a 80s tutorial but 10 times more relaxing

[@silverhandle]

Hahahaha

[@andrewhuang]

so cool! can we reverse engineer this and turn a reverb pedal into a spare room? i need more space in my house. (have a lot of reverb pedals to store)

[@samueljett7807]

funny seeing you here lol. I too need to repurpose some Echo/Reverb into an empty room... maybe a pantry? Or a garage... or a pantry...

[@mokshamin3610]

hahaha this made me chuckle. love your channel!

[@jackfarris5498]

pantry

[@timfubar5439]

Be careful with the settings, you could accidentally end up with a large hall.

[@tkplg21]

I never expected Andrew seeing a Mac tutorial wtf

[@ZestyBoyz]

Thanks for the tutorial Mac, unfortunately I seem to have sealed myself into the small room beneath my house with concrete.

[@LinotheKatKing]

This made me laugh really hard

[@Facerip]

At 03:00 i liked that you made the editing choice of walking forward, only to cut it back to just standing where you started. Exquisite.

[@atlixmartinez7174]

my favorite part

[@MulkeyBlueQuartet]

Loke seven seconds later he continues lmao

[@fribiesdi]

... this is on purpose and I think you know it.

[@neoaureus]

That’s so French New Wave, David Lynch and waiting for Godot

[@CSick27]

very practical! i decided my daughter will live with her grandmother now, and ive already started coating her bedroom walls with concrete

[@adderon]

Listen to those reflections of a dysfunctional home life

[@neilcandeloramusic]

God it's so nice to hear real reverb, just sounds so good

[@willb3698]

Absolutely,

[@pablindio1]

So true, you can really hear the dynamics

[@ts4gv]

uh huh

[@alexdipasquale2177]

honestly mac is just flexing on all of us with his gear

[@maxisnotwell7232]

This is the longest 12 minutes ever recorded in the history of man

Skin care is so important. Bless you mac!

[@deejay7339]

For real. I heard Gwyneth Paltrow uses this technique. In all seriousness he probably did this for a bit, then made a habit out of it.

[@aztecwhistle9122]

Wtf

[@user-hl5xj2qh8q]

Oh good, someone mentioned it, I thought I was the only one who saw globs of grease sticking off his face like some reject from super mario brothers movie. Only Mac could aspire to such greatness.

[@10k-28]

The reverb sounds so good holy shit

[@25inbomeportland]

I was blown away. Best reverb sound I’ve ever heard honestly, next to plate reverb

[@SCWood]

I really want Mac to release an entire ambient album. He knows how to make it dreamy.

"Perhaps some electronic guitar... Perhaps some electric guitar." WHY is THIS the part that took me out?

[@gonzorudeboy]

...Or a pantry.

[@camouflaging6090]

finally someone who died at that same part

[@fy_pool_day2]

Somehow this video felt an hour long

[@freelance_commie]

Love this show. It scratches my weird esoteric itch and presents legitimately informative audio lessons with killer music to boot.

[@fribiesdi]

In me it scratches a late-90s feeling. Like Beekman's World or Andy Milonakis show. Of course, with all the incredible audio lessons in it.

[@godofspacetime333]

Well, yes, he’s covered in vasoline, but he has a lot of really nice equipment, and a very soothing way about him. I’m going to choose to follow this man. In all things.

[@Peechschnapps]

I mean, just his face - clean hands in the studio

[@calvincaron1683]

I felt like I was watching for at least 10 minutes, clicked the screen and saw I was at 3. This video captures my attention and imagination so effectively I lost any internal sense of time I ever had, and was sucked out of reality.

[@djofortunato5799]

The edits pulled me in deeper Then the electric guitar finally sealed me in This video felt like reading the Cask of Amontillado

[@Solokmopoo]

“Get a load of those reflections” killed me haha

[@treverse_]

Watched this years ago, wasn't aware of who Mac DeMarco was. Later, became a fan and now I'm watching this and am having quite a moment

[@heatvisuals]

An echo chamber has never been so motivational and inspirational on a spiritual level

[@LuminalAbnormality]

This has to be the greatest video ever created.

[@fancynumbers9576]

That screen share is legit. Truly for the people’s people.

[@x2beaches]

The Editing sits somewhere between Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, Tim and Eric Show and Chris Morris' Jam. Epic.

[@lifesoldier]

JJJJJJJAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMM

[@Ins0mniacGamer]

This is what Audio Engineering feels like, if anyone asks show em this

[@omnizeitgeist2779]

This made me miss Mac’s lounge vibes, that reverb is pure ecstasy.

[@jazzblasterrr]

You buy a reverb pedal and think you’re the king, home boi concreted a basement floor to ceiling just for room reverb.

[@wisico640]

Then the neighboors complain about noise & come to an empty concrere room, with a speaker & 2 mics and go what the??

[@LVT_Music21]

That reverbed synthesized electric piano sound is exquisite

[@rts267]

I cannot believe that he made a reverb chamber out of an empty room under an adjacent house, inspiring

[@truthseeker-heyoka]

No one ever expected this to be as relaxing as it is...

[@sb_dunk]

My boy McBriare DeMarco went from looking 24 to looking 40 in the space of a year. What a feat!

[@daltonsilver9826]

Date Mike 10 years ago he was 20. He is 30 now. In ten years he will be 40.

lol really funny

[@eddiegodoy5120]

Juul now actually

[@LeeCurry1968]

More like the 100k + in gear. Pultec,Neve, Neuman. Thats some home studio, personally id drop that Tascam and replace with a Studer A80 if theres room left after the echo chamber.

[@evanfrew1834]

Please re-purpose me into an Echo / Reverb Chamber for a Studio.

[@OMGIGILY]

I'm DYIINNNGG AT THE PARTS LEFT IN LMFAO of him preparing or repeating himself help omg

[@neoduckman365]

@@thomaseiler6588 but some people may find the jokes quite distracting, maybe tho

[@mr.friendly1256]

Are you gonna use this

[@ryanpwm]

Rasyid Agam yeah I think it’s easy to see through the jokes if you already know all of this, but someone confused only got the idea that they need mics and a full range speaker. That’s just enough to get started but doesn’t give anyone the nitty gritty, like recording different band meme era in different spaces in the room other wise the song will sound like everyone was recorded standing inside eachother.

[@eligryba1041]

THATS HOW MAC DOES IT BAY BEEEE, lil funny here lil funny there, but all the into is LEGIT 0.0 fo real, helpful stuff. rock and roll tiger

Thanks to your very informative video I made an investment and bought the neighbor's house to turn it into a reverb chamber with 4 different reverb rooms. The renters love hearing the snare drum at any hour of the day! ...and it's all cool because it's written into the lease.

Quite honestly, one of the best pieces of gear that’s in this vid is the mic he’s talking into; the EV 635a. A cheap omni that is fantastic as a room mic, among other things

@@brothertoaster5135 What’s with your bizarre hostility?

[@graham.broome]

any opinion on the re50? from what i’ve read its the same capsule and all as the 635 but in a different body. found one for very cheap might buy but there’s not nearly as much info on it as the 635
