What's NEW? NAMM 2025 Day ONE

[@Producelikeapro]

What are gear you looking for? What do you want manufacturers to make? Thanks ever so much for watching!

[@willarasmith4893]

I'm looking for an X32 Producer replacement. Something with the same rack mountable form factor but better processing, I/O, and physical faders. The WING Compact seems to be a good upgrade but it's still limited to 48khz. I really dig the fold up touch screen though and the flexibility per channel compared to the X32. The full time group I'm in is looking for a new board but I have to be conscious about storage space. I just don't have a lot of space in our bus bays to work with. Many of the digital boards in competition with the X32 Producer are simply too big/tall. I've heard decent things about the Allen & Heath SQ-5 but I'm not a fan of the UI. Also interested in multitrack playback interfaces for live performance. I don't need a lot of inputs. I need outputs. The Track Rig by Loop Community is really the ONLY option I find with XLR output, although anything with TRS output isn't a deal breaker. I just don't need all the bells and whistles that come with most 8+ channel interfaces that drive up the price.

[@paulvogel6303]

Audio interfaces with smarter I/O

[@tonytec59vmix]

warren it seems like there making everything in one way or another hardware software. seems like the only thing they having build is the interface build into the computer too me. but i will get back to you on this very soon

[@TheFoundryRecordingStudio]

Hey Warren! Thanks so much for the shoutout for our studio, The Foundry Recording Studio!! Thanks for all you do for the music community. Would love to have you out when we open in June 2025!

[@natemendsen1629]

There is a serious studio in Westside Bethlum now? Very cool.Good luck.

[@TheFoundryRecordingStudio]

@ opening June 2025! Thanks man!! Would love to have you 😁

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much my friend!!

[@soulchorea]

1:05:25 - my man just REALLY wants to buy new mics, and I can't judge him for it 😂 been there. I appreciate how you are kindly guiding him (and us) to think the problem through more carefully

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks Doug! I really appreciate it!

[@purplezoid1]

DreamTonics Vocal synth looks like it could be a game changer for me as a songwriter who cant sing and needs vocals for my ideas. I never knew it even existed until I watched this, now knowing its available is a godsend!! Thank you for posting!! 🙏🏻

[@stevemaggioraofficial]

It’s going to unlock a ton of possibilities for aspiring songwriters and non-singing producers as well. Definitely will be able to help level up production while keeping artist costs low!

When I was a younger man, and newsprint was actually print, I would spend a Sunday morning reading the New York Times and guzzling coffee. Closest I can come to that these days is spending a morning watching Warren spend his time and his talent at NAMM (so I don't have to). The Shure interview studio looked like the oasis every prolific show-goer would love.

[@paulvogel6303]

Atmos seems cool, not convinced it translates well to headphones or your average listening device, BUT, I have an audi with a great sound system I would LOVE if cars started using atmos. I think cars are maybe the biggest target atmos should be aiming at.

[@vegardyrnes1793]

Thank you for a great channel. I was wondering if it would be possible for you to look into the (amazing!) recording process of ABBA? I have always been a fan off(-and still have a crush on Agnetha) one of the best bands ever. I have been listening carefully to Arrival and The album, on it strikes me how great the contributing musicians were. I will always love their music. Cheers. Vegar, Norway

[@murraywebster1228]

Hey Warren have you tried the Rupert Neve ribbon mic from sE Electronics yet (RNR1)? I have one and it’s my favourite mic for nearly everything now, amps, acoustics, vox , brass & overheads, literally works on anything, and also has passive and active modes.

[@ArthurPerez-t2e]

That patchbay wow

[@cynosureanthem2158]

Hey Warren can you please talk to the Sound Techniques people? They were really great when I ordered a eq mic pre from them!

[@Mcqlfc]

Sorry Warren, I have a question and can't find the answer. Maybe one for your FAQ Friday? I'm about to record a track with a band but it features a school choir (a charity song) and I'm wondering how to record the choir as they are young and I have no way of sticking headphones on them all so I have to use a backing track for them to sing to. I'm using my portable studio to record them and then transfer the data to my DAW. How do I stop the backing track bleeding through to the mix when I put it together? Thanks in advance

[@stevemaggioraofficial]

In my experience with recording children’s choirs, the quickest and easiest way I’ve found is to have whoever is recording and whoever is conducting on headphones, and let the kids follow the conductor. Take it in small sections so you can focus on getting a few takes to choose from (also to potentially blend for a larger sound), and take it part by part so you have good separation and can blend in the DAW. Doing it in patchwork makes it a lot for fun for the kids and takes the pressure off to do a full take, especially if the material is new for the kids, and doesn’t take much extra time, especially if the kids start losing focus.

[@stevemaggioraofficial]

Reference pitches created in advance for different sections (or a portable keyboard or other instrument to give starting notes) will remove the need to have the backing track, and because there are several kids, they’ll help keep each other in tune, and the conductor/engineer will be able to hear if they’re getting off for quality control

[@Mcqlfc]

@ Thanks for the input. I did think about having the conductor on phones but the kids are young and are only used to singing with a backing track. They will be all over the shop otherwise.

[@MeloTaroOfficial]

[@splashesin8]

[@joeys24]

What was the Band and/or singer the Audeze guy was playing around 1:21:01? He said she has a strong voice??

[@JLOakes1]

Will Steven Slate's VSX system hurt the studio monitor industry? Vsx really works extremely well.

[@trexdel]

I don't think it will. I use my VSX headphones every day, but they don't remotely compare to the stereo imaging or bass response that my monitors offer (LYD48, MM26). VSX freq response is, AFAIK, more accurate than any other headphone for the price, especially when set to the flat profile. But mid to high-end monitors are truly an experience to hear, and a privilege to work on.

@@DaMixWizard With that budget it is essential that you go visit a store to listen to other models (and other brands!). Eg HD800S2, Arya, Ananda. Mag planars are the best choice for mixing/mastering though. Good luck and let me know which ones you bought!

[@DigitalChemistryBand]

I see studios outfitted with hi end gear like you feature, and my first thought... who "really" paid for that gear... what millionaire decided " im gonna build a studio", and put 25k speakers in it, along with the 250k board, another 100k for out board equipment, 100k for the space wiring and treatments, another 25k for cables, and lets not talk about 10k mikes... at least 10 of those as well... and a bevy of other makes and models... Meanwhile the long time home studio guys like me use Reaper on an inexpensive 2in2out, with decently priced monitors, and a couple of decent mics. I dont get it... in an era of people listening to music on a pair of I-buds... the high end market seems to cater only to millionairs and mega-churches...

[@Producelikeapro]

I started with two cassette tape machines playing one through the speakers while playing against it. Eventually I bought a used 4 track. Then I got one used ADAT and a used Soundtracs console when I got a very small publishing deal, all my advance went in the gear! I did demos for people and bought a handful of mics and a compressor. After 20 years I made enough to get a loan to buy a used SSL console, it was around 25k. I built a rehearsal studio with a friend with homemade panels, we got a tiny bank loan after selling some things we owned to get the first used PA equipment. Everything I’ve got I’ve worked for, I’m sure there are people who have money from other sources, however most people I know have worked for it.
