Inside Mitch Gallagher's New Studio - Recording Studio Tour

Mitch Gallagher from Sweetwater welcomes us into his new, no-construction home studio. The goal was to create a studio with off-the-shelf treatment that anyone could do on their own.

Looks great and nice ergonomics for recording.

[@haverstickdesigns]

Appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching!

Just outstanding, Mitch. Hopefully one day when I’m ready to renovate my basement and create a drum-based studio I’ll borrow a lot of techniques! Would love to know the brand/style of curtain rod you used and how you mounted the o-rings for the ceiling clouds. So innovative DIY!

Nice place.

[@CaptainMoto]

Nice job Gavin, Still enjoying my own studio, thanks for your help!

[@haverstickdesigns]

Hey Tom! Great to hear from you and I hope all is well.

Absolutely beautiful studio, so cozy and comfortable and easy to use. Straight to the point and without ridiculous fancy stuff just for the sake of it. You can tell this studio works perfectly when Mitch, who has had the best of the best equipment on his hands decides to pick just the right things to create music and have the best time. Wish i lived in the states to buy things from Sweetwater, Mitch is the best sales person any company would kill for. Not only because of his knowledge and sales ability, but because of him being so humble and kind. Thank you for this video. ❤

I’ve followed Mitch for quite a few years and to see his personal studio setup was awesome! You both did an excellent job with everything!!!!👊🏾🎶🎵🎶

Nice! Who makes the adjustable shelf racks housing those amps and fx pedals?

[@mitchgallagher2755]

The pedal and amp racks are made by RAB Audio, check them out at Sweetwater!

[@TonyThomas10000]

Love Mitch G. Big fan. You knocked this studio out of the park! Any problems with the guitars/strings causing resonances?

[@haverstickdesigns]

I’ll let Mitch respond to that in case he has noticed anything, but it isn’t typically a problem. Appreciate you watching this one!

[@TonyThomas10000]

@@haverstickdesigns I always enjoy seeing you work. And it is cool that you are a mechanical engineer!

[@mitchgallagher2755]

If you look closely in this video and in the Sweetwater video -- I may even discuss it there -- I have Gruv Gear mutes on many of my guitars for exactly this reason. The acoustics, in particular will ring at certain notes. But some of the more resonant electrics will also ring. I've found you can end up with a very strange pitched reverb in the room that, while not very loud, is definitely not desirable!

[@TonyThomas10000]

@@mitchgallagher2755 OK...thanks for that! I always wondered if that would be a factor. Great room, Mitch!

[@redbarradio]

Is any of the gear featured in this video part of a sponsorship deal? Just curious if the items in your studio are there because they’re your top choice or if this is just a new way to showcase products you’re trying to move.

[@mitchgallagher2755]

I work for a retailer, so we don't do "sponsorship" deals like you might have with an influencer. (We do work the other way, though, and sponsor some videos by various influencers.) This is my personal studio, built up over years of buying/selling/trading gear. Working for a retailer, I do have the perk of purchasing at reduced prices. However, there can never be any "I'll give you this if you do a video" or other strings attached.

nice room. have fun keep rocking

Appreciate it!

Will do!

[@audiononsense1611]

Ok, why given all your supposed know how would you ever recommend a mix or mastering studio that has glass on the front wall, no symmetry, and looks like DIY panels (2"? and corner traps)???? Seriously????

[@haverstickdesigns]

A lot of these things are addressed in the video. Mitch discusses his goals for the room and the desire to use off the shelf items for treatment rather than build custom elements that you see in many of our studios. A lot of studios have glass on the front wall leading to either the exterior, a live room or isolation booth and that doesn't inherently make for a room that doesn't perform well. Mitch's room was not a build from the ground up. It was an existing, symmetrical, rectangular room and the only room that was available, so you have to work with what you have!

[@mitchgallagher2755]

As Gavin replied, that was exactly the point; take a room like anyone might have -- just a basic bedroom -- and make a great-sounding space. It came out remarkably well. Thanks for watching!
