I Tore My Studio Apart... And Then Rebuilt It Even Better [Studio Vlog]

[@Drone-View]

Could you please make a video on how to make a Coldplay song?

[@clintyoung9902]

I could watch studio builds/rebuilds all day.

[@MakePopMusic]

Same honestly

[@josealves1097]

I thought you were gonna be cooking some beats in the kitchen

[@MakePopMusic]

Whipping up soup maybe 😂

[@peace4531]

Could you please make a detailed video about your rack and explain all the equipments in that rack and give an overview of exactly how you’ve patched everything up with your audio interface and daw.

[@MakePopMusic]

Yeah! I kinda talk about it halfway through the video

[@peace4531]

@@MakePopMusic Actually i was looking for a more in depth look on basic stuff like db25 cables and MADI etc.

[@blvkqmusicgroup]

Other ppl have already done that. Just look for the videos. Yall obviously don’t know how much work it takes to do these videos!! Always asking for the most shit to be done just for YOU.

[@osru_]

hope you're recovering well, austin what do you think of making remakes of pop songs? like trying to get it really accurate a lot of other music production channels have dabbled in it, it could be interesting

[@MakePopMusic]

Feeling much better! That's SUCH a good exercise to learn sound design, figure out techniques, and understand how to make a top tier pop song. I don't do it much anymore because I'm typically busy with other projects but when I was starting I did it all the time.

[@DONKEYFORRENT]

Great stuff. Studio rebuilds can be horrifying, but you seemed to take it all in stride. Solid!

[@Misha.Joseph]

YOU SHOULD MAKE A LANA DEL REY AND QUAVO SONG!!!! Tough is so gooooooood

[@romiden106]

Hey Austin , missing your own Songs .......I love your songs- redrum, even though it kills me , peace of mind , clutch ..........It give me nostalgia of when i started producing i get to know your channel, been 5 years ❤❤ Let us know when you are making some dark pop ,or mello songs

[@MakePopMusic]

Thank you so much!! Maybe I’ll release more soon!

[@MakePopMusic]

All my dark instrumentals have been going to Riley and another band I can’t mention yet 😂

[@itsoundshuman]

Fantastic! I can't stop emphasizing this step by step work everyone has to do when trying to move one step forward in their studio. Seems like a tight setup. ❣

[@bennibadermusic]

Great Video! I'd love to see/hear how you use the RME's snapshots for your setup...

[@MakePopMusic]

Got you!!

[@KiDAppleBorg]

Austin, man I can’t really explain why but this video game me chills. I’m 3 years into my production journey and I just now have the courage to have an analog vocal chain! Wa-8000 into LA-610mkii into a 1176 vst so far. It sounds really good. Watching you manage all that gear and coherently discuss the reasoning behind the gear just really encouraged me to not be afraid to master my gear. Thanks so much man. Feel better soon!

[@MakePopMusic]

That’s a great chain!! Thanks for all the support. ❤️

[@alainpatry]

Hey Austin, did your Furman power conditioner resolve any noise issues or just using as preventative measure?

[@MakePopMusic]

I’ve always used it so I can’t speak to noise. I have mine because we have horrible lightning storms in Florida and we lose power regularly

[@ufcbackup6706]

Can you make a video showing how you record live instruments like electric guitar and piano live

[@MakePopMusic]

For sure! For guitar, I run my guitar into a DI pedal so I can have a raw DI go into my interface, and then I have the Thru go to my Line 6 Pod HD so I can hear / track with tones. This allows me to listen back with tones and even record those, but still capture high quality DI to use stuff like Neural DSP plugins later. For piano, my room is too small for that so I'd go to another studio with a live room. I'd do a spaced pair under the piano hood and then a couple other room mics and possibly a mic by the player.

[@musiclover-r9m]

He's not recording live piano in his home studio. There are tons of videos on youtube about recording piano and the micing process - older engineers would be the best place to start as they had to record piano live for years and years before VSTs so they have it down to a science. Any modern engineer is probably only doing this once in a blue moon since piano VSTs are already perfectly mic'd and sound incredible.

[@ufcbackup6706]

@@MakePopMusic this is so helpful thanks man 🙏🙏

[@larsandersen2757]

I would find it interesting to see your USB set-up. Although I have quite a few USB connections on my PC, I still have a couple of USB hubs

[@MakePopMusic]

Big docking station that everything plugs into so guests can also plug and play. Then interface into that, all midi controllers and Iloks into one hub, all SSDs into another hub, both hubs into that docking station. Great question. Maybe I’ll do a vid on it!

[@larsandersen2757]

which Patch Labeler software did you use ?

[@MakePopMusic]

The patchbay was designed in a spreadsheet and then I made the labels with Trace Audio’s patchbay label maker

[@BeauStephenson]

Ferrofish and RME both are killing it with the price per channel in high quality conversion. How have you liked the Audient channels?

[@MakePopMusic]

They’re fine what I use them for. Probably wouldn’t buy them again now and I’ve had issues with the unit that Audient wouldn’t fix (without me paying to ship it there, get a quote for repair from them, and pay to ship it back) so it’s only working at about half efficiency right now.

[@The_Sochmusic]

Awesome setup Austin! Thanks for the vid!

[@aleksamrkela831]

Very nice; Audioscape makes great hardware, I'm envious! Would you recommend the Ferrofish Pulse 16's conversion quality for hybrid mixing? :) Get better soon!

[@MakePopMusic]

The conversion is great! I compared it to my RME conversion and it definitely holds up

[@echoesandnoise]

Awesome!!! Love the setup

[@Anlonnmusic]

hey, I'm a big fan of you, I only produce music I don't make any tips videos about music production and want to join a label, but I don't have a audience... I know I can do it with social media, but I don't know what to upload. any ideas? really appreciate if you reply to me :)

[@MakePopMusic]

Hey! Honestly any label or mangagement is going to want you to have some kind of following / connections. I'd work on getting into sessions with bigger artists and producers and working your way up, and it never hurts to be public about your craft. Make little reels on you creating a song, or outtakes of a recording session, or day in the life vlogs, or whatever else brings you joy. Definitely don't force the content and don't think that you have to position yourself as an "expert" in the field. Just make shit.

[@Top_Dawg360]

Can you please make a video about what the tiktok ban will mean for upcoming artists who want to promote themselves and build a following? I hear tiktok makes it easier to go viral compared to youtube shorts and the sounds you can use on tiktoks increase exposure. What does that mean for the music industry and will youtube shorts be enough to fill the void left by tiktok?

[@MakePopMusic]

I'm probably the worst person to weigh in on that because I don't use TikTok at all (for posting or consuming content). Reels have already been taking the place of TikToks so if TikTok actually does shut down, it'll all just move to a new app or something like Reels. Idk, same thing happened with Vine 8 years ago and that all worked itself out eventually. I do feel terrible for people who built MASSIVE TikTok followings that didn't convert those people to other platforms as well.

[@Top_Dawg360]

@@MakePopMusic yeah, i know a friend who made over 7 million followers on tiktok but she only focused on tiktok so if tiktok goes down, she'll lose all of those followers and a lot of other people who run a business on tiktok will have to start all over as well. It's really sad :(
