What a fantastic studio!! Such a fantastic setup and build! I love how you have a nice size Control room and the 2 Isolated booths!! Great Video!!

[@Abovegroundmedia]

I love the way you organized your desk….very sensible. I’m never impressed by which pieces of gear people have. But I am very impressed by the level of organization that people have while mixing….if you can’t think well, you can’t mix well. Great work! You’ve set a very admirable standard!

Absolutely!

That a good idea!

[@The-Skyking]

Joe, I love that you love In-Step by SRV. When I was a kid, I'd listen to Riviera Paradise on loop. I loved it and still do. When I started mixing, I often used it for a reference track. One day I'll achieve that uber clean, but still vintage sounding recording. The reverb is some of the best I've heard outside of a cinematic Disney soundtrack.

[@Producelikeapro]

Agreed amazing album!

I still watch in amazement. Completely effortless

Cool studio Joe. You have some great presets on the Relab 480. No wonder, I didn't know you had the real deal. I really want the Bettermaker rack unit. I use the plugin more than any other EQ

Very cool room Joe. I may have missed it, but do you use a subwoofer?

I don’t anymore. These Adams have plenty of low end for stereo mixing So I sold mine. Of course, when I go Atmos I’ll have to add one or two again 😂

[@frankiewood]

I want a tour of that studio, looks awesome!

[@Bluelagoonstudios]

About your line voltage purifier, to get clean current, it is a big SMPS (modern power supply) from (probably) 110V to 110v? but the trick is, they boost the current to a higher voltage, in Europe is that 400V and then back to, in your case, to 110V and filter out all dirt. I have those from Furman, 8 pieces. They run 24/24/7 I had to do maintenance on one, one day repair and back on track. So now I learned you something instead the other way, hehe.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much for sharing that!

[@Bluelagoonstudios]

@@Producelikeapro and that's why those things are expensive, while most people think that is just a power inlet, and split into more power outlets. It's more advanced than some peeps think :) no thanks and cheers.

[@DanielSilva-te1ww]

How much for the construction and treatment, not including gear? Thanks!

[@Producelikeapro]

The studio has been there many years before Joe!

[@Producelikeapro]

I’m not sure if he did the treatment though? Joe??

[@InTheMixJoeCarrell]

It was a lot! 😂😂 the room was already there so it was not a ground up build. I started by having the ceilings busted out for the extra heights and take them down to the studs so we could do the room within a room thing. It took way too long with the typical contractor craziness that always seems to be an issue. I never figured up exactly how much I spent but it was way too much per usual.

[@cleedev]

I never get tired of seeing this room! What are the approximate dimensions, and is there one favorite piece of gear you just can't live without? The Locomotive Audio units seemed to be pretty special from the way you described them...

[@InTheMixJoeCarrell]

Absolutely, those are very special boxes! I started with a 16 x 24 foot shell and by time I double walled and added booths the control was left at 17x15 feet.

[@cleedev]

Exactly. Hardware insert points on the patchbay

Do you use analog summing?

[@InTheMixJoeCarrell]

There’s was an experimental summing box I didn’t speak about up on the rack. The manufacturer hadn’t committed fully to making it a product and didn’t want me talk about it yet.

[@livingmoneypolitics]

@InTheMixJoeCarrell Is there an audible difference between summing ITB vs OTB?

[@Producelikeapro]

@@livingmoneypolitics very good question!

[@InTheMixJoeCarrell]

@@livingmoneypolitics there can be absolutely. The amount of difference depends on the analog circuit that is doing the summing. The ITB mix buss of software like Pro Tools has very much improved over the years and I would never say that it’s “necessary” to go OTB for summing. However, if doing a lot of group treatment OTB It does make sense to limit the conversions as well. I wish I could remember the video title so I could point you there but our friend Marc Daniel Nelson did a video on the PLAP Channel a few years ago, demonstrating side-by-side differences of his mix summed ITB and going through an SSL summing box. We have SO MANY OPTIONS now with south great software and hardware options. It’s a good time in history for us mixers! 🎉🎉

@@InTheMixJoeCarrell Thank you for the insight!

Wow bro, your spot compared to my setup on a Scale of 1-100 is a 100 then my room is a 17 at most. Very inspiring.

I’LL check the Tegeler site for pricing…is it safe to say there units are of better quality that the warm..!

What's the best u47 clone that you used?

Hmmm. That’s a solid question. This signal arts is great enough that I’m content to stay out with it as the “go to”. I have not tried the Heiserman 47 yet but expect it would be top tier after hearing this 251 they make.

“Gear and decoration things aside “

[@InTheMixJoeCarrell]

It was way too much. I started the construction during Covid when lumber and building supplies went nuts. And the contractor I used honestly played games in the last half of the build going as slow as he could to bill as much as he could until he scored another job as a follow up. Getting a skilled but honest contractor is VITAL!!
