Studio Rescue - Episode 7

[@JoseCruz-zu9rz]

Awesome!! Now Brian can finish his trap music mixtape...

[@AlmaRockeraOficial]

7:50 that EQ curve 🤔

[@PetrisonRocha]

Hahaha I like it, it looks like a dog.

[@BogdanSerban]

So you sit on your desk and then BAM, Francis appears from behind.

[@donniecatalano]

I'll lock my studio doors from now on

[@tbcreative562]

But you see the camera guy first, like it’s nothing out of the norm. And then act surprised... when he shows up lol, I hate reality shows haha but I like music production so I watch it and deal with the cringe

[@RefugeetheDJ]

This is so cringe and its exactly the same thing every episode yet i keep watching them, wtf.

[@EMBFLAME]

bro same haha why is everyone all awkward hahaha

[@tmaeae]

Same

[@Greenmantislives]

Like a car crash...hard to look away. My 10 year old daughter is addicted to these. She can recite the part where he talks about the NT2 microphone in the other episodes and how great it is on drums, vocals, etc. By heart.

[@briankehew579]

I'm having some problems in my own place. Books fly across the room on their own, windows and doors open and shut with no one around, blood seeps from the walls....

[@RayoBeatz]

Brian Kehew don't worry thats what im here for first thing i see is theres lots of sound bouncing around the walls so were gonna get some bass traps from vicoustics and set them up that should take care of any books flying around or any doors opening and shutting next were gonna move some furniture around your room and that should cover up any blood seeping through the walls and well why don't you test it out and i'll be right back with a rode ntk microphone.

[@AdamInouye]

I can see you’re not taking advantage of the symmetry of the room.

[@terrymiller111]

Sounds like you need an exorcist.

[@wilkerproducoes]

Our loved knowing that there are people out there like that comes only add to the dreams of a musician who loves music and wants to give the best to develop and achieve the sound he loves. congratulations to all. Too bad that here in Brazil we do not have support so good job, love, really loved.

[@PetexZen]

Why is everyone that goes on this show so god damn awkward haha

[@OfficialWolfTrap]

'cause we are producers hahahaha

[@eltonjam]

Hahahahaha. I noticed this too. Out of experience, That's what happens if you semi-script a show.

[@EMBFLAME]

hahahahaha

[@ayeowe12]

Great video, has definitely helped me have a greater understanding of basic room acoustics and how far out my monitor placement really was! i have noticed a huge difference, thank you!

[@J0HNJ0RDAN]

My OCD prevents me from not having my desk centered in the first place..lol.

[@jimmyholloway8527]

#7 and the dude already owns not 1 but 2 of those bad ass mics! Real cool to gift the wraparound anyway, plus the stereo mic. Guess I better move to the Los Angeles area if I want help. Cheaper to buy the mic! lol Thanks though. The repetition of these vids has given me the tools to put my own home studio together and not fall in to the same mistakes as these cats. Great series!

[@donniecatalano]

Hey Mr. Buckley, nice videos you made! My compliments for your work on "Universo Fortis"...

[@lolmayonnaise]

I used an NT4 for drum overheads, worked a treat!

[@Subparanon]

Hey are those Maudio BX5 monitors? The blue LED gives them away. I FN love my BX8a, so flat and surprisingly loud for little 8" monitors.

[@WilmoreChuck]

The SPAM light switch tho...

[@stacystacksbeats999]

This Is the GREATEST he teaches how to get everything right. Love it!!!

[@YungTommi]

love the way the M-Audio badge is taped over on the speakers ;)

[@vilmarmoccelin]

He also make measurements to form a triangle with the head of the owner and the monitors, clean the place and center everything... In all the episodes he did just this.

[@WilmaJonson]

I LLLove it, when Francis hits his customers' eye with the measure! ahahah

[@ampstudios]

every little bit helps, some treatment is better than none. and besides the video is a little dated now, im sure those issues have been dealt with since then.

[@TheKountryGentleman]

Does this guy own any other t-shirts?

[@dojix96]

It's amusing that he says you have to take advantage of symmetry, but if you had a perfectly square room, you'd have a studio nightmare. Also, these episodes are all basically the same tips over and over again.

[@marco_correnti]

Dojix i´d guess symmetry doesn´t necessarily imply a perfect equilateral space, but good point brah

[@bobbyhodgesvlogish]

I was watching these shows and I was thinking this is awesome I hope there is a lot more episodes but I seen that it stops at episode 13 and Francis Buckley wasn't in the video 😕 I thought he did a really good job

[@r3dcloud943]

Francis just enter to the house as it were the owner hahahaha

[@Pedrikikiki]

auralex makes the moPads, they do this pretty well, just search for some similar ones :D

[@TheHypergiant]

I'd make sure to try turning the windscreen about 90 degrees when putting it on.

[@CoparGaming]

and also aren't you suppose to put a diffuser on the back wall?

[@solairemusic7907]

The one thing these people don't seem to understand is that they can solve a lot of the problems that they have by simply getting a good pair of closed back headphones. At least it seems like that would solve a lot of the problems Please correct me if I am wrong

[@SynkopateUK]

this is 4 years late but i dont care.... the problem with using headphones for room treatment is they do nothing to fix your room and kind of nullify the whole point of using monitors... which are the ideal referencing solution if you want to get the most detailed and accurate response out of your mix

[@PetrisonRocha]

Yeah, you're wrong. Headphones won't solve any problem because mixes made on them won't translate anywhere near as well as mixes done on speakers, even on flawed speakers. Imaging falls apart, relative leves are near impossible to judge. Headphones are great for sort of a reality check, but not for the hard work.

[@DJyorkei]

typically when labels are taped and what not. i've heard it's because some copyright protection. Something like that. i don't think it's because of "hating" or anything in that category

[@lilltonitoni]

Hi, I'm lilltoni and I live in Italy, in the House where I live with my parents, in room I took a small part where I put my tools to make my small recording studio hip hop, you have an e-mail so he sent the picture of how I put my tools in that small place in meeting room and gives me his opinion?

[@Redsmeg68]

do you have a web address for the vicoustic panels

[@ToxicwasteProductions]

where is the studio?

[@adamlongworthproductions]

Covered the BX5 and M Audio logos. grrr lol. Love this show tho. Wish you guys still did this.

[@gono6]

where can I get these panels and bass traps that he uses?

[@therealmosthated]

i would only do this for the mic lol

[@aCZN-l9f]

that fucking mic :')

[@angeloswifey8310]

Anthony COUZINIER lol

[@J3TPILOT]

how do you know he hasn't got a thin layer of padding stuck directly on the bottom of the speaker then cut out to make it look neat. There are millions of reasons. Or even what if the CD racks are covered in a soft material (like mine, leather).

[@Seebob86]

luv this!

[@RiffTV915]

OMG NT4s on OH live omfg....

[@romanjones6124]

no treatment for the windows?

[@briankehew579]

Some nice basic ideas here, easily solved. BUT somehow missed the point that the first wall reflection is NOTHING compared to the reflection off that bright shiny desk in front of him, and it's asymmetrical with the mixer on one side! Put down a pad or cloth on the table...

[@DJANGELITO18]

where is the keyboard in this studio

[@Pedrikikiki]

a thin layer, even if it were made of foam, is definitely not the way to g if you want to "isolate" the speakers :D

[@ConorSloane118]

HEY! why did he get a different MIC?

[@krozjacob9029]

hey :)) is there any chapter wich deals with a big room ? 10X

[@masterfade1]

How can you come to My Home and rescue mine . Where can I reach you

[@bergamMNE]

What is the name of the track at 7:40 ?

[@Obsidian456]

Its probably because the video is basically an advertisement for Rode and not their competitors, so they cover up other brands. I doubt its copyright as companies would benefit if anything from their equipment getting shown in the videos.

[@Alfernav]

Guy is like "No Low ends, Higs are bouncing, I have Reverberation everywhere... I basically no Nothing about Audio engineering" jajajajjaa ... and Francis is like.... "Yup. lets not put absorbers, only a thin reflector foam and you are set" .... XD

[@RayoBeatz]

holy crap anyone look up the prices on these acoustic foams?

[@JPstudi0s]

alvinraydj3 whats wrong with it there so cheap

[@RayoBeatz]

cheap? yea i guess if you have a couple thousand dollars laying around it's cheap i'll still with roxul foam it does a good job with giving you tight vocals and plus i've seen engineers with crappy setups and zero studio foam in there actual monitor rooms and can still whip up amazing commercial ready music so idk why they get so technicall with it really it's about learning how to mix and master audio mixing and mastering instruments and mixing and mastering audio

[@JPstudi0s]

agreed

[@Coolnicewow]

alvinraydj3 Exactly. The people participating in this "show" all have one thing in common: They're just bad engineers. If you put Dave Pensado, CLA or any of the big guys in this room, here's how it would go: They'd make an eq to make it sound like it's supposed to in the room, then proceed to mix a commercial quality record. Because they're GOOD at mixing. These videos build under the illusion that if you get the "perfect setup with the right stuff" you magically get good at music production. Setting up your studio right is VERY important, but none of these technicalities trumps actual skill. TLDR; If you're shit at producing, you're just shit at producing. (no hate, I'm shit myself, but working on it!)

[@RayoBeatz]

Yes it's all in the mixing and mastering the only thing i 100% agree on is having tight vocals by making or buying some kind of acoustic booth for instance in my setup i have my microphone in close proximity to my computer and my computer just buzzez away as if it was a bee and that leaks into my sound and basically makes my audio useless but it's what i have to work with since i have such a small space and i think everyone would agree the only thing they want at the beginning is to just get the vocals sitting perfectly in the mix, i've heard professional unmasterd songs and i have to say they sound just as good as the unmasterd versions so i'd have to argue that it's all in the mix

[@strikaboy448]

NICE !!!

[@edwardsparks7493]

I have a home studio with the right "stuff" but still needs some work! Help!

[@Daniel5491257]

It's a loop on Garage band.

[@Xolin11]

Finally they change the gift.

[@sbechristos11]

does this dude do anything else besides glueing some absorbers on the walls ?

[@AlmaRockeraOficial]

Win Grammys

[@Pedrikikiki]

big fail, the speakers are touching the desk, without pads under them, makes for an EXTREMELY unbalanced low end.

[@sevenplaces98]

i wonder who opened the door for him when he came into the house

[@sbechristos11]

true thats worth the hiring

[@BlotBlackInk]

That's a cool shirt.

[@upsiderown]

Yeah, old Macs, too.

[@panduwics]

yes just search his other video :)

[@Pedrikikiki]

yup, it helps a lot :D

[@86nepsites]

Please rescue my studio room too... Im in Japan....

[@Musiclover-xh6pr]

humble guy (francis)

[@DavidTimovski]

I think that could be fixed with just a few mouse pads underneath them.

[@HellaHipHop]

I've been watching each episode, lol and this guy says each mic "is the best and most versatile" he's ever used.. i guess a business is a business xD

[@dirtbagdadon]

It's the same mic.

[@charliedelossan]

Y yo que solo quiero unos monitores GGT... Gratis Y Grandes ;)....

[@WilmaJonson]

But, this guy got two mikes??

[@edgitonedrum7541]

cool:-)

[@kojik4271]

Give me a free mic and ill show you grateful my man

[@taklucka]

because he already had the other one

[@DKStudiosful]

raise the chair dont need to drop the speakers

[@aldricsuan]

noticed the people in this series mostly have macs lol

[@Beatzbyther0u]

LEARN A LOT FROM YOUR PAGE THAN X

[@00Mass00]

Vicoustics have sooooooooooo much cooler panels. They cost a fortune though.

[@JSprayaEntertainment]

@kaosreign666 3:48

[@iainchan]

yeah i thought i had another video about minecraft on. hahaha

[@RadRover99]

" A little bit TOO MUCH? " who says that.....

[@zockerbruder86]

that guy

[@eduardofermin6068]

its funny how he just go into the house without nock

[@rideboarder1]

M-Audio!! :) Dont tape this. i have the bigger version bx8

[@SoulTeeVee]

He just walks up in peoples houses without knocking and shit. haha a

[@Bryanken]

my namesake

[@JamesOllard]

SPAM SWITCH

[@JSprayaEntertainment]

thats not a studio

[@bhdriver9174]

if you got all that gear but cant figure out were to put the panels then i dont trust your recording ability

[@jlarks93]

Nah Bryans mum let him in.. :D

[@Pedrikikiki]

haha calm down mate. google "auralex monitor pads"

[@djkurtstudio]

This guy is like 50 years old and doesn't know why there's sound bouncing off the walls!

[@ronniemack4831]

Hey what's that? Duh

[@117swordsmen]

LOL all ive seen this guy do is move speakers an furniture throw up some wall pads an give away a mic? like wtf? hes not looking into there recording process, software compatability in regaurds to output an wave length balance. lol wtf sir.

[@117swordsmen]

BUT, i do need to give props to them helping out other musicians an promoting your average joe. Everyone in my town claims to be musicians and then never help each other and always put each other down

[@iCarroller]

He is looking into the recording process. That's what the mic is for?

[@AlmaRockeraOficial]

It’s a studio make over not mix/recording critique

[@J3TPILOT]

well what the fuck do you want me to do, put 10 feet of foam under them or wrap them in silk. THIS IS A HOME STUDIO, not professional.

[@CharlieMunroGuitar]

This guy knows what he is talking about, but after watching 3 of these I find him extremely irritating, like he is trying to present this series to appeal to 6 year olds.

[@iCarroller]

I find it interesting that these producers know that they're lacking bass and can't hear high end properly but then can't fix their own studio.
