Favorite studio on KZbin! Literally the best looking studio and best taste in gear of any channel. So inspiring!

[@RiotHomeRecording]

Thank you very much!!!

[@Polentaccio]

Your studio has it all. Loved this tour, thanks for doing it as I had wondered what your various rooms looked like and your workflow. My tiny 12 x 14 do it all home space is envious!

[@RiotHomeRecording]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

[@PurpleMusicProductions]

Very nice studio and many thanks for the tour.

[@RiotHomeRecording]

Glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you!

[@1loveMusic2003]

I bought the Audioscape 260VU and I use it on drum bus. It's amazing. Everything Audioscape makes is great. Love your studio.

[@RiotHomeRecording]

There’s a few pieces I’d like to try from Audioscape. I agree it’s a great company!

[@kellypeterson2625]

Thanks for the cool tour. And mega thanks to your son for serving our country!

[@RiotHomeRecording]

@@kellypeterson2625 thank you very much!

[@WarrenHenry]

That console is a beast. It was a staple at many studios in many studios in NYC in the 80"s and 90's. great tour! Thanks

[@RiotHomeRecording]

100% agreed!!! Thank you for watching!

Nice to see you back Steve! I'm glad that the studio and gear remain that awesome. Looking forward to see the upcoming videos.

[@RiotHomeRecording]

Thank you very much!

[@Chaos-Dynamics]

I’m a big DBX160 fan 😊 Great to see your studio tour, that Burl Mothership is an awesome converter, you have a pretty professional setup over there. Loved the amp room, you’re able to track some great sounding stuff 👌🏼

[@RiotHomeRecording]

Thank you very much! It absolutely inspires me when I use classic amps that sound sooo good!

[@Chaos-Dynamics]

@@RiotHomeRecording Me too man, I use an analog desk, outboard gear and mic’s to record amps. No samples all old school way to go 👌🏼

[@palodine1]

Lovely studio, I'm quite envious!

[@RiotHomeRecording]

Thank you!

[@kevinbatchelor9566]

Stoked to see you back here.

[@RiotHomeRecording]

Appreciate it!

[@TheRealNewBlackMusic]

Love that G and L bass I had one when I was playing on the oldies circuit with a lot of 50s and 60s groups and when we would do shows other bass player's would always comment on how good that bass sounded😃

Haaaa man finally I was worrying if everything was okay for you, I even asked in comment ! Good to see you back

[@RiotHomeRecording]

Thank you I appreciate it!

[@gel1912]

Also check out the Kush Clariphonic, thanks for the video

[@RiotHomeRecording]

I have the clariphonic plug in I use it on the mix quite often. Thank you!

[@davidlar9476]

Love the video

[@RiotHomeRecording]

Thank you!

[@АлексейВискалов-и6х]

cool video! good luck to you!!!

[@RiotHomeRecording]

Thanks! You too!

[@TheGarageRecordingSC]

Good to see you back, brother. Great studio tour, I love your space!! Very comfortable looking and very functional!! I love the SM 98 right over the kick beater, Steve Albini style. I’ve got a pair of those AKG d190e’s as well. I use them for the spot mic on the ride and on the hi-hat. I’m curious, what does that Yamaha kick drum mic, sound like? Is it similar to any of the usual suspects? D112, Beta 52 etc?? Looking forward to whatever you put out next.

[@RiotHomeRecording]

@@TheGarageRecordingSC thank you very much! I’ll have to try the beta 98 over the kick! The Yamaha MZ-204 (kick mic) has a very punchy sound to it. I’ve been using it’s for 20 years as a kick & bass guitar mic. It almost has a compressed sound to it. I want to try the Beyerdynamic dynamic TG-70 and Audio Tecnica ATM-25. I’ve had the D112 I preferred the Yamaha MZ-204 over the Akg d112. There’s lots of great kick mics out there. A 421 is good on kick too.

[@TheGarageRecordingSC]

@@RiotHomeRecording There are a ton of great kick mics for sure!! I’m currently using the E602 from Sennheiser. It’s kind of like the D6 but I feel like it’s got a little more weight. It’s definitely pre-eq’d for rock and metal. I use that as the front of kick, just inside the hole, and then the Sm 98 is hanging right above the kick beater. For sub lows, I’ve been really liking just bussing the kick drum microphone to Steven Slate trigger 2, and using the sub kick sample from a Queens of the Stone Age sample pack. It sounds really nice, and it’s easy to set up without needing the sub microphone and the extra input.

[@jswen702]

Cool video. I still have a pair of DBX 160a’s on the front end of my Kick and Snare into the box. Something about that sound introduced to me in the 90’s.

[@RiotHomeRecording]

Agreed!

[@malcolmpalm]

You've come a long way, my friend. Your studio is an inspiration, no lie. Just curious; why are the API outputs coming out of the top of the Switchcraft?

[@RiotHomeRecording]

Thanks Malcolm! I used those patch points on switchcraft for the api simply because they were available at the time. I meant to switch em around but lived with it and now I’m use to it.

[@malcolmpalm]

@@RiotHomeRecording Got it. If it works, it's good to go.

[@kevinlentz7604]

Hey great to see you back❤the gear

[@gabet3754]

It’s not Nux. It’s “New X”. Just thought I’d mention. Nice setup.

[@RiotHomeRecording]

Thanks! I’m not familiar with the company. I bought it after hearing one my friend had. It’s a great pedal!!!

[@charlesrocks]

The real magic is all of that goodness going through the Burl Mothership.

[@RiotHomeRecording]

Love the Burls!

[@BrunodeSouzaLino]

I'm pretty sure u-he's Satin does pretty much every kind of noise reduction and companding you find in the Dolby rack units.

[@RiotHomeRecording]

I’ll have to check it out. Thank you!

[@1loveMusic2003]

The 2500 is smoother in feedback mode I think. I've only used the UA plugin version though.

[@RiotHomeRecording]

I really only adjust the input gain on the 2500. I don’t mind using heavy settings because I run it in parallel on a pair of faders. Thanks for watching!

Cool your okay...i sent an email a few months ago to see if you were okay

[@jonahlenius4727]

What Tama model drum set do you have?

[@RiotHomeRecording]

@@jonahlenius4727 Tama Artstar 2

[@walkensauce]

why do you prefer the one set of dbx's on guitar and the other on kick / snare? what is it about them that compliments the different instruments?

[@DarkTrapStudio]

Is the new DBX 160XT is as good as the OG DBX 160 VU ? Also about the Dolby nr trick hardware, there a great plugin that do it good, its called Dopamine by overloud audio tools, Audiothing as one too but I didn't hear it, Ive watched your video and hearing dopamine was simillar, didn't hear them back to back though. (but also it cost like half of the hardware)

[@RiotHomeRecording]

Compression wise yes it’s as good, as far as the circuit sound it’s self. I think the 160 sounds a tad beefier. If that makes sense. I’ll have to look into that dopamine plug in. Thanks for the info!!!

[@ThisGuyDude]

Can you actually use chopsticks for eating, or are they only for demonstration purposes? :-) Edit- seems the rest of my comment was not registered, incredible video and really insightful detailed walkthrough of an incredible set of gear. Thanks very much!

[@Watzzys]

Hi I wrote to you on Facebook a while ago. I am interested in mix and master services. How can we connect?

[@RiotHomeRecording]

@@Watzzys sorry about that I have push notifications turned off due to the volume of messages I receive at all hours. I try to sift through them, but I’m sure many get missed. Here’s my email. [e-mail]

[@leftofcenter4]

I could only watch about 6 minutes of this clip because all the camera moving and swinging was giving me a headache..nice looking setup though

[@RiotHomeRecording]

Sorry about that. I’ll try and keep that in mind for future videos. Thanks for the heads up.

[@paoloaccomando4778]

You absolutely need to throw a moving blanket or mobile sound wall in front of your rack gear when mixing or the amount of high end and mid mess is gonna really screw you up man.

[@RiotHomeRecording]

Thanks for the advice!

[@trakliteproductions]

Oh shoot! Idk you were home team I lived in Beverly

[@RiotHomeRecording]

@@trakliteproductions Yes, I work in downtown Chicago and live in the south suburbs. I grew up in Blue Island. It’s raining cats and dogs in Beverly right now! Time stamped!!!

[@RiotHomeRecording]

@@trakliteproductions hell yeah!

@@RiotHomeRecordingI worked at Guitar Center and Sam Ash on Cicero in keyboards and pro audio

[@przemysawbarbarski5106]

I thought i have to much gear...

[@benitoguzman6650]

can you invest in a better camera instead

[@RiotHomeRecording]

I could!

[@MariJu1ce]

I think the lighting would make 10 times more difference and it would not cost alot either

[@angelsantana3001]

If a band records in your room and can’t produce a great sounding track it won’t be for lack of equipment. I don’t record rock bands, but if I did, your equipment list is a must have list. Well done from one gear slut to another.
