I Ranked Every Studio Item I Tried This Year (Plugins, Mics, Hardware, & More)

[@chloemartiniofficial]

Highly recommend for you to try some planar headphones like Audeze for example. That was the biggest game changer to me and now I’m never going back to dynamic headphones. I even have wireless closed planar headphones for commuting.

[@MakePopMusic]

Wanna try them but my pockets are bleeding this year. Hahaha

[@danielbuoncristiano6924]

I didn't like planar headphones i will stick with dynamic

[@nexusobserve]

​@MakePopMusic why is any of this information valid if you're not having commercial success

[@MakePopMusic]

@@nexusobserve I do have commercial success

[@minstinct280]

Brilliant vid bro. An idea for another vid? How about outlining all the things in mixing that a producer needs to know....ie. mixing 101. Best channel ever dude!

[@MateuszKoscielny]

Your tier lists are S TIER!!! love these vids ❤️

[@andrewplan]

Lowkey loving these ranking videos 🔥

[@uitloggen1]

lets goooo, loving the new pop course and the works!!

[@karatepod]

Another great video!

[@danielyepes9108]

Awesome content man, super valuable!!

[@aLoudSi1ence]

At the age of 50, I try to imitate your songs and learn so much from them. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@autoclavebeatsinstrumentals]

thank you for all the amazing content you have done this year🙏

[@algerianarcopangilinan7127]

Awesome video bro 🎉

[@mikeymusic_rm]

Super useful tierlist! Thanks Austin 🙏🏽

[@dereksimke9117]

Thanks for all the tips on gear, Austin!

[@RobCarrollMusic]

I've been wanting a newton strip for a while. Have you tried the shelford at all? I'm really curious how the two compare to each other but the only thing I ever hear people say is vintage vs. modern without really elaborating on specific differences

[@TheDustinMaxwell]

You a real one for this!

[@THENAMEISJJAX]

Brother you gotta revise your gear list in the description section So many cool additions🎉

[@sydtagle9142]

Love the tier list videos!

[@GoloGolako]

Amazing video as always ❤

[@Centurion13]

Interesting video. Based on what we've seen (or not seen) you use in your videos this year and what you've talked about, a lot of it wasn't overly surprising but it adds some nice context to it all. If nothing else though, this video really highlighted that you need to update your equipment list in your video descriptions.

[@IHNTDIB]

Ok. Done watching. Time to go and learn all the plugins and gear I have before getting new ones (especially its bf/cm deals season)

[@mark_heath]

I've got the JHS colour box and emperor on order at the moment so glad to hear you like them!

[@XTREME932]

love the tier lists!

[@Ohitsdee250]

I got SKY keys for $12, probably the best plugin for the money I’ve ever seen

[@fletcherrobinson3452]

I second this!!

[@ScootchieRob]

I've been on the fence between the Arturia Keylab and Arturia Essential! I was disappointed in the feel of the Essential. Nice to hear someone who has used both ranking them!

[@tijnio777]

Purchased The Works (Samples) this week - loving it.

[@MakePopMusic]

Thank you so much!!

[@sixthestupidcat]

Might have to get some of this stuff!

[@maxshepardson]

[@afterjoe3042]

Just to say I got the Works sample pack. Wow, it's an absolute steal. 110% recommend. Thanks for the content as always

[@bazzauk208]

Great vid

[@nasuyokinpira1]

hello your channel is one of my favorite. even though i’m japanese, it’s still helpful and inspiring

[@LouisAdamsTBD]

These videos are fantastic

[@Benoit-Marie]

Very good tier list :)

[@GirishHothur]

Great vid as usual 🎉❤

[@peepoopsplash]

Tier lists are always fun!

[@benjaminsweetmilk5013]

These videos are fire AF!

[@lumann89]

Great video, thank you :)

[@frank_toncar]

great vid! do you find that the gojira drop tune sounds any different to the transpose knob that’s in most of the neural plugs? obv not for like a sliding pitch effect but just static octave down type stuff? also dude i’d love a slightly more in depth view to how you use orion. i’ve gotten it to work in a few mixes but might have just been shiny-new-toy placebo lol. it feels like it makes my drums almost too big a lot of the time

[@searcy9746]

Thanks for the list bro!

[@BarnabasShaw]

Awesome!

[@patrickrydman6793]

Thanks for this walkthrough 🙂

[@KordTaylor]

And yeah Metric Halo are super sweet people and great DSP work! ❤

[@KordTaylor]

❤ Great list! I’m down with so many of these. Sold my Moog even though I liked it. But yeah, for the space prob use the Rev2 on the studio a lot more and I’m in the a lot a lot so the Arturia V Collection checks a lot of those old school synth sounds.

[@juanvelasquez5V]

Awsome!

[@jakeharwood4654]

Just copped the Lush & Ear Candy packs, worth every penny!

[@milomaurermusic]

lets goooo!

[@KordTaylor]

😍 ThankYou so much for covering Waverazor here. It does have unique tech with the wave-slicing oscillators and like you said is really modular in character. A TON of modulation capabilities. And yeah, the interface is a bit spaceman. 😂 Note that there are a bunch of different color Themes if you don’t dig the red and blue.👀

[@OfficialKerangkaBerfikir]

thank bro ❤

[@mauriceattiach4314]

I like what you do it will be awsome to get mixing template

[@jeffcannon4282]

If I'm looking to buy mostly some good hooks and ear candy riffs from your store, what pack should I get?

[@JorjhanKastro]

Great video! Do you use the ATC's with a subwoofer?

[@MakePopMusic]

Yep! I have the Dynaudio 18s but it's at like -28db and focused only on 75hz and below

[@Binkley447]

How would you compare gold clip to standard clip? Been thinking about it but not sure if I can justify the price jump when standard clip already sounds great to me

[@MakePopMusic]

Not even close to the same thing. Standard clip is really just a clipper. Gold Clip acts as a clipper, saturation, it has this magic with the gold and the alchemy knobs. I don't regret spending the cash at all.

[@chrisi245]

Cool list 🎉

[@PeterGargano8]

I just got the wave poptopia spectrum and dark pop 2 🔥

[@MakePopMusic]

Thank you so much!

[@PeterGargano8]

@@MakePopMusicyeah I’m currently upgrading my songs with the new sounds and it sounds so sick already

[@KeyfloMusic]

Dope video. I don't think you like the SPL big because your tracks are already wide and spacey, so it probably sounded weird when you added it.

[@MakePopMusic]

Yeah honestly. I don't love almost any imagers because my stuff is already pushing the width. The big just felt weirddd to me.

[@KeyfloMusic]

@ yes sir, that’s why we try things. I have the hardware as well and the plugin is close. It’s more of a mastering tool in my opinion.

[@Zagoorland]

How are the ATCs in terms of mixing low end? They go down only to 74Hz which seems very little... Can you trust them on lows without an additional sub?

[@MakePopMusic]

They go to 47hz. It’s just linear until 74. I use a sub with them so it’s perfectly fine

[@Zagoorland]

@ which sub do you use?

[@MakePopMusic]

@@Zagoorland Dynaudio 18S

[@amclmusic]

I got a millions ads for Sky Keys too - but I opted for Arturia Analog Lab this black friday instead

[@KordTaylor]

Great choice I think! 👏🏻

[@franchazel]

I’ve been thinking of getting back into playing the guitar, and I’m thinking I wanna get a 12 string, thanks for recommending the Yamaha

[@MakePopMusic]

12 string was a GAME CHANGER. I love it so much.

[@Varshavallagi]

hi Austin. Your videos have been such a guide for my music journey. I would like to know how to make LESS sound MORE while making a song. Without complicated instrument arrangement I would like to know how to make song feel full with less instruments involved.Thank you!

[@ElijahP]

Yesss

[@KordTaylor]

The Panther folks are great too. Kind of $. Did they have to ship from Germany or ?

[@noelleechenyee93]

The infinity access serum sound really really good, gonna purchase it soon. Thanks for sharing such a valuable content. Headphones on the other side, did anyone tried Ollo Audio before? Are they campable to fight with byerdynamic or neuman headphones?

[@sylvainconsult969]

This is a very good channel here...i am curious about your sample pack.🎉

[@Aurelien.Melodies]

If I win, I’d rather get another product instead of being refunded because your products are so good!

[@gordowebb9910]

Very little info on the Nest Infinity. Have no idea how many presets for starters.

[@joeygproducedit7863]

not gonna lie, fridays just got a whole lot better for me

[@lsraudioofficial]

Sick

[@KordTaylor]

Ok. Time to do an electric 12 string now. Rickenbacker is a big standard but the necks don’t work for me. The cool sleeper? Gretsch! ❤

[@davidbak8742]

What do you think about Humanoid by Baby Audio, now that you’ve had it for about half a year?

[@MakePopMusic]

Love it! still use it all the time!

ineed them presets austin!
