Would LOVE to see you guys talk with Terry Date! That man’s done some of my absolute favorite sounding mixes 👌

[@Producelikeapro]

That would be amazing!@@MyToasterIsMoist

[@OriginalXzo]

That was a fun video to see😊

[@Producelikeapro]

Marvellous! @@OriginalXzo

[@carlovmusic]

Hey! That’s my studio! Interned here and now I always bring my clients to Studio A

[@Producelikeapro]

That's marvellous to hear!

[@jackmmarsden]

I would love to intern here! Could I get in contact with you?

[@Producelikeapro]

You should write to Reut, the studio manager@@jackmmarsden

[@IamCurrentlyAscending]

Man, if I were anywhere near Clear Lake I'd be begging for any opportunity. What a cool studio and team. Good vibes.

[@ForeverOdyssey]

Absolutely love Clear Lake Recording Studio. Amazing staff, and all in all amazing humble people. Had two sessions here recently, and will for sure keep coming back.

[@Producelikeapro]

That's wonderful to hear! Thanks ever so much for sharing!

[@dbauernf]

Insane collection of toys! I like!

[@Producelikeapro]

agreed 100%!

[@CashMattock]

40:37 It’s great to hear Reut at the end. I feel that I didn’t get enough of her vibe throughout the rest of the video.

[@Producelikeapro]

Absolutely! I asked and Reut wanted Eric, the owner and head engineer to take us through!

[@ralfjung]

fun observation....Warren always walks around with a guitar pick hidden in his hand.....smile.....good stuff! Make me smile

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha I don’t though! I think I’m the only guitar player that never has a guitar pick/plectrum! I have to always borrow one haha

[@infojunkie4989]

Fantastic tour. So many stories and a great vibe!

[@dwaynejessome1728]

Thumps up as soon as the front door was opened

[@Producelikeapro]

Marvellous! Thanks ever so much

[@brianhintze6440]

First off…Hello from Ohio! You know why am a follower and love these videos? It takes me out of all the crappy news, political, rants, raves, and complaint videos that are just too much on KZbin. I watch YouTUbe to get away from network TV and all its commercials…only to find too often that KZbinrs start ranting or their comments do..about negative stuff. Your videos are all very informative, fun to watch, all the hosts have good sense of humor…a pleasure to enjoy. Thank you for all your hard work and please keep the studio tours coming….these are my favorites. Cheers. 🍻

[@budgetguitarist]

What is this network TV you speak of? Sounds terrible!

[@rgbehro]

Radial Engineering products (Made in Canada) Represented!!! I am a Canadian, live sound engineer living in Sarnia, Ontario Canada and I love Radial gear!

[@Producelikeapro]

Wonderful DI boxes! Love Radial! Great company

[@wikamusic]

Loved the studio tour! The discussion on work and business insights towards the end was especially enlightening 👍Would love to see more on studio management intricacies. Great job on the video!

[@splashesin8]

😊

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much WikaMusic!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks@@splashesin8

[@ZEALMEStudios]

How cool is it to have Warren show up at your door!

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha thanks ever so much!

[@chuckfarley7642]

20:25 Don’t mod the Altec. It’s a piece of history!

[@Producelikeapro]

Abbey Road modded the Altec's in the '60s!

[@danepaulstewart8464]

🤩🤩 Wow! What a great looking facility. I started engineering in the 80’s and this makes me feel right at home. 😎👍👍

[@Producelikeapro]

Marvellous! Yes, wonderful studio!

[@DavidDavis-FA-photog]

Warren, this was great, especially the talk towards the end about the industry.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much David!

[@tamartin9304]

Use to be called Clear Lake Audio, owned by Brian Levi. I was there in maybe mid 2000 through the Recording Connection Program.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Joey-rp5vg]

Great looking studio and a good duo there looking after it all. Great to see, thanks very much

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much Joey!

[@davidallenhammond2777]

Great interview and wonderful tour. Thanks Warren! And thanks Eric for sharing your space with us!

[@Producelikeapro]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks David!

[@brentharmonmusicproduction]

Wally Heider was started in San Francisco which is now Hyde Street Studio. You might want to go up there some time Warren and do a tour of it.

[@Producelikeapro]

Yes, thanks for sharing!

[@J-DUB-F1]

Wow that place brings back some memories........ I did a lot of drum Cartage in there back in the mid-90s. I'm trying to remember but did it ever have white formica floors in the main room?......... it's been almost 30 years since I've been there. Great to see it still going strong and looking good 😉👍

[@Producelikeapro]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing! Not sure about the previous floor?

[@markwhittaker6321]

Really nice vibe. So great to see these studios out there- being run by cool & creative people.

[@josepuente8852]

Love the Clear Lake fam 💪

[@Producelikeapro]

Us too!

[@hapadusky]

What a fun breakdown of your set up. Thanks for sharing. I always appreciate insights to how others (especially creative professionals) think and operate.

[@normclemis1221]

Cool folks running the place! Great vid!!

[@Producelikeapro]

Sure is!

[@Producelikeapro]

Wonderful studio!! Glad you enjoyed the video

[@mh-oh8kf]

Do Jonathan Wilson’s Topanga Canyon studio next please!

[@Producelikeapro]

Here he is in his old studio kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJTYemeVpJKffJosi=_tUpP7iLVLelCt3C

[@bobbeals2893]

Am I just a hopeless geek for watching the whole thing and hanging on every word?

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha I hear you! Great fun

[@jsnowdendavies]

yes...but what is the problem with that? 😁 soak up the experience!

[@Producelikeapro]

Nothing at all!

[@OriginalXzo]

these types of videos are great! you should definitely do more studios it’s always interesting to see

[@Producelikeapro]

Thank you! Will do!

[@AlexanderStanley]

Intoxicating as well as intriguing!

[@danepaulstewart8464]

Studio Tours, how perfect. There is a giant Warren-Styled Studionthat might just be right up your alley. It’s in Syracuse New York and it’s Called Moletrax. Named after the guy who pretty well built the whole place himself. Built around a 72-channel Neve VR with TONS of vintage Neve outboard channels and mic pre’s, as well as clones for comparison. Tons of vintage tube mics. Enough hot, live tubes to heat the air up considerably!! One to watch for sure!

[@razhmazh]

This was a cool tour. Wish we'd hear something from the speakers, just to get a feel from the rooms. 😊

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much for sharing!

[@PrantoKoX]

Really lovely studio! The gear selection and the instruments, even more so the vibe and the philosophy, and even more than that the people (yes, the knowledgable and hot studio manager, too) - very different from many top flight studios. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks for this tour!

[@Producelikeapro]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@HUERITO818]

Interned at Clearlake/Fever back in 2017/2018 while I was attending SAE .. got to assist ELI the head engineer at the time for about 9 months!

[@Capture262]

Another great studio tour, thanks Warren and the team 😄

[@gbsrecords]

Alan Smart compressor on room mics; yay! I love seeing SSL style mix bus comps used during tracking, especially drums, and they're killer on room mics. So far our fav is the Dramastic Audio Obsidian, an amazing mix bus comp but fantastic on room mics. Great tour and studio, thanks, keep it up, you PLAP folks are the best! Cheers!

[@bugmanuk]

And it’s always a source of pride when we see British in the rack.

[@rthyhmmemory11]

Lovely place and people! A great studio with good vibes going on!

[@Producelikeapro]

We agree 100%!

[@TheGamblerGomez4097]

Hi Warren. Could you make a tour of Heritage Guitars in Kalamazoo, Michigan?

[@Producelikeapro]

That sounds like a marvellous idea

[@deepdance111]

Nice Studio..and Super Setup ! :)

[@davidharris2712]

Eric the great!!

[@Producelikeapro]

Two great Eric’s!!

[@peakAV]

Doesn't like the SM7?? That mic literally works well for every application! Drums, cymbals, bass cab, guitar cab, vocals, and takes HIGH SPL.

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha indeed! It is what it is! I hear all kinds of things that are loved by so many and hated by few, it’s ok, it’s what makes the world go around!

[@adrianwagner336]

what a nice looking studio to work in...thank you for the peek i would LOVE a tour of Nightcastle studio in Orlando FL but i bet it would be challenging because it is now owned by Trans-Siberian Orchestra and the O'neill family but it used to be owned (as you may know) by the Morris brothers and was known as Morrissound Studio but TSO bought it to use as their HQ but in any case i do quite enjoy getting these peeks into what is out there...thanks again and be well always

[@weschilton]

Really cool studio

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much

[@TylerMarletteNY]

hey guys! I’m looking to upgrade monitors, currently using hs5+sub or BM5A. looking for at least 6.5” budget is about $2500. I can get used 1037B for $2500, should I go for something newer at that price point? I also have a sub I can pair with the new monitors so i’m looking for the most detailed mids and highs at the price point. used monitors preferably

[@mygicshow]

Good stuff

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much!

[@swapnilkulkarni9209]

Using Avalon 737 Sp for Scratch mic ! Man, I could never afford any of this 😞

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha whatever is spare! I've used a Mackie for that and been very happy to use that! Don't need something expensive for pretty any thing! Creativity rules!

[@scotbyrdmusic]

Good chance Crosby, Stills & Nash sang their first album on the 67.

[@Producelikeapro]

Marvellous! Very true indeed

[@scotbyrdmusic]

Wonderful walk-through and interview, @@Producelikeapro! There's so much heritage in these spaces and it's quite inspiring to see people carrying the legacy forward. Thanks for all you do.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much

[@borey123xx9]

Did not know Thor had a recording studio 😂

[@HUERITO818]

Eric @ 17:22 had me dying.. 🤣

[@louderthangod]

Frank Zappa used those Carvins but my favorite is the band Harvey Milk.

[@klamtmarco2114]

Nice studio woow

[@Producelikeapro]

Yes! Marvellous

[@em8969]

Great studio! Dreamy 😂😂

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha marvellous

[@1176hambone]

Uncle Warren!

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha thanks!

[@AlexanderStanley]

“Sweeeeeeet!! That’s what’s up:

[@Suburbstudio]

Fun fact: so many ppl i know skip on the avalon so why is it still that pricy? I mean yes, build like a tank, great heater, love the 24khz…the rest is just for the look? 😮😢

[@Producelikeapro]

People love Avalon! I'm sure they still sell well with many people

[@kevinisaacs6930]

🔥❤🌟

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much!

[@ZEALMEStudios]

So far one of my funniest stories is one of the singer artists I work with, well worked with, on the way out of one of the sessions turns around and grabs a four pack of Chef Boyardee SpaghettiOs and Mumble something about I got to eat and walks out the door with a four pack of my emergency food.

[@ErikVaughnPohovich]

THAT'S RIGHT! NO SUCH THING AS TOO MANY ERIKs! 😂

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha indeed!

[@anthonycurran362]

👍

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much

[@HUERITO818]

Wait .. when did shawty run at paramount? I was at paramount for 4 years .. and never saw her lol 🤔

[@lowandodor1150]

I really do live in the wrong country.

[@Producelikeapro]

Where do you live?

[@PrantoKoX]

Really lovely studio! The gear selection and the instruments, even more so the vibe and the philosophy, and even more than that the people (yes, the knowledgable and hot studio manager, too) - very different from many top flight studios. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks for this tour!
