The Mixing Desk That Changed My Life

8:30 I nearly woke my entire house up laughing! I look forward to achieving that relief and creative freedom. Great vid!

[@DynamicRockers]

When the price in stores says "Request a quote", you know it's going to be top class equipment :)

[@backacheache]

You know its going to hurt..

[@ovonisamja8024]

@@backacheache It's around 11000E (+) just for the 16 faders section without anything else here in Europe. It's a pretty expensive mouse.

[@irishmusico]

I got back into recording after 20 years for fun. I used to use a Roland VS1680 MIDI'd into a Korg Trinity. I was amazed with the advance of technology with my Reaper DAW and a few free VST instruments. Now I see what money can buy. Stunning stuff. A real pleasure to see it in action.

[@morsikpl]

Finally! I was waiting for this video since I saw your Nuage unpack!

[@smilyle]

Life has a way of humbling you no matter how high you've reached. I thought I was a bad dude...this guy is at a whole other level.

[@tudormoldovan-maniu5259]

I can't stop watching you, you're a really inspiration, and is awesome how easy looks everything you present here, but we all know that first you have to love what you're you doing and then all is easy. Cheers!

[@kb420ps]

That truly is a dream setup. You have real world vintage synths that, as far as audio is concerned, have the integration of vst plugins in Cubase. Individual recorded audio tracks with just a few button pushes. That's AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

[@neonether]

Missed the quarter inch inputs for guitarz!! The setup is incredible! Very educational!

[@R3BBiT]

The intro track sounded a bit like The Weeknd’s track “I feel it coming” with Daft Punk! 😁

[@SunTzu192]

I love your music style!

[@kerzwhile]

Uh yeah. Most people wont quite understand and share in your elation of that desk. I would do anything for that desk instead of a pair of old, but great Mackie LM-32's as my mix organizer. Thankfully I have the 60hz noise under control! 😉 Excellent setup! You deserve it and the simple fact that you actually know how to use it is poetry!!

[@marinbastonetv]

the most amazing thing to keep in mind is this mixing desk was made 8-10 years ago and look at the technology way ahead of its time

[@mattkent2651]

How in the fuck Claudio manages to write the perfect bassline, in seconds... baffles me! What an amazing video. What an incredible studio set up as well.

[@mysteritmodk9572]

If I had this studio I would never see daylight again...

[@btsr2553]

So, you are not alone. We are two, now!

[@SandrOliva]

I have a studio like this, and I just don’t see the daylight very often ( though my kind of music is EXTREMELY different than his…)

[@michaels5166]

just the longest beard and hair tripping over it,yet a lot of music..

[@axelBr1]

So happy for you that you've got your dream studio.

[@Jrscarratt]

For anyone who’s wants to do something similar with a lot less money try the x32 rack and x-touch. With the Midas stage boxes you get 32 channels over cat5 and mixer and daw control with the x touch

[@JonAnderhub]

For less than a 1/3 of the cost!

[@zoomkitty]

The desk in the video is about 30k. That's a lot, for most people, to spend on just a mixing desk. And if a person is being creative, and putting themselves into it, it's certainly not needed

[@Jrscarratt]

@@zoomkitty yeah and to be honest the technology isn’t anything new, it’s basically just a really expensive digital desk/control surface.

[@WassupFred]

Crazy workflow.. I love that desk.. capturing everything together is just amazing.. great video and studio

[@asterionalbert]

THIS SETUP IS A DREAM COME TRUE

[@jtf2dan]

Great set up.....you have so much potential to record anything......the possibilites are endless!

[@pyjamasound5761]

This is insane..... Awesome!!! Love it!!

[@frankliebe]

years ago I started with an tascam-handheld-recorder (stereo-line-in and stereo-record), after that I turned to an 8channel in -2channel out Tascam. changed fast to an linked array of six tascam 2488 Recorders (=48 channel record) - but currently I am still on the Behringer X32 and enjoying its motorfader and I am happy that I had not to move that hardware - coz it is an heavy weight ;-) of course your Yamaha nuage is amazing...wish I can buy that in future too :-) BUT I think that the Environment (room/building) is also high important to be creative with all that studio-stuff - so I plan to build an 3 floor building dedicated for studio / sound creation. music needs room and being creative should not ends in great build up/down sessions. you are always inspirating Doctor Mix - I'll keep follow you. ;)

[@jmcadie4332]

What a cool studio setup you have mate! I want a Yamaha Nuage!

[@physicalmedia1981]

Nuage savage🤣

[@BLBlackDragon]

Very slick. It's amazing what can be done with automation these days. Even just having a DAW like Ableton makes things possible for the home musician, that weren't possible just 25 years ago.

[@patkelly8309]

Bellissimo! Claudio, i want to thank you - you always brighten up a dull day for me. I'm not even jealous (ok..tiny bit). Grazie mille

[@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST]

That's such a bucket-list mixing console. Man. The possibilities! I hope they let you keep it for a long time, and that you can cope with not having it when they do ask for it back! BTW, ladies in his audience aside, only Claudio can blow us grown men a farewell kiss over the Internet and we're perfectly fine with it, ha-ha!

[@dykodesigns]

That is an efficient way of working. It’s got so many buttons! Eventhough I only have a humble Korg Nano Kontrol Studio, the Jogwheel has got to my favorite control on any control surface.

[@jedisith25]

amazing and fabulous , but Oh, and I too didn't get the notification for this video until after the premiere was over!

[@Moongolio]

Excellent as always... I was waiting for the Nuage full review and experience... If I ever get to live out of music and be able to afford a real ass studio, it will probably look suspiciously close to yours... Thanks as always for this content. You have inspired a lot of people. You deserve all this.

[@roydalezobel4946]

Hello Claudio, your positive energy always lightens up my day. Thank you! 😊

[@tomladdus9264]

[@maxdiamond55]

Fabulous setup. Thanks for the video.

[@gvsgaius]

This is insane. And one question is burning for me: how the hell does one finance all this beautiful gear?! Also, I'm super happy to see that all this beautiful gear is being put to good use and not collecting dust somewhere, and thank you for sharing all the nice videos!

[@kucekto]

Usually they build up their tools in decades and they get paid and re-invest back into their instruments.

[@kostyarogers]

From what I understand the guy runs established online music mixing, mastering and production services that form a division of the Sunlightsquare Records music label in London. In combination with this youtube channel and done over many years this would let hem to accumulate quite a bit of gear. Also some of the gear is probably at least partially sponsored by gear manufacturers.

[@_hou9062]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHKwpnehbNmZa7s I think Yamaha gave the whole mixing conosle package to him for free

[@olik136]

He talked about it in other videos- the mixing console is "given" from Yamaha- and the older instruments are mostly from a time when they where just old and not retro :) .. also it is a business- a smith needs an anvil- a music studio needs a mixing table

[@boilerhead35]

Professional! Nice “hardware” Claudio!

[@AttilaSVK]

I have a Yamaha 01x mixing desk/control surface/audio interface. Unfortunately, Yamaha stopped supporting it on Macs like 10 years ago, so while I had my Mac Pro, I had to dual boot it with a recent version of macOS and OS X 10.6.8. Now with an M1 MacBook Air I can't even use it, and there's no real replacement for it...

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

I love the ease which you can group/link channels. I have my 505 set up as a send in my system as well, the same way, so I can select which synths get sent to it. Watching you effortlessly sync that 808 and then record all the individual tracks at once with just a couple button presses - it's magic. That said, I can only imagine how long it took you to get all of the sends and routing set up the way you wanted it. No wonder you never go home!

Hi from Portugal! Amazing studio, amazing desk! Only in my dreams 😭😭😭

[@marklholloway]

Beautiful and very practical setup! Nothing beats those PCIe Dante cards with support for 128 Channels @96k. They were discontinued by Audinate in 2021 and I've been hoping for an updated card. Everything else is based on the Brooklyn series chip which support 64 Channels @48k or 32 Channel at 96k. There's a few Thunderbolt options but nothing is as efficient as the 128 Channel PCIe card and Nuage rack units.

[@cartofgiant]

Awesome. Nice thanks for sharing

[@nicolaspanier1245]

I would add the only little "fault" I see is you could have more screens in the room (so that you do not miss a direct info while you record)? Love U Doctor mix ^^

[@supercompooper]

Dunno if it was because i talked you about a video on that wanderful mixing desk/controller/interface... but... Man... THIS IS my dream video (and studio!) Just IDEAS with no hassles! Yep... i know... the learning curve... but... well... for you there is any learning curve in any gear... (well... almost! XD)

[@christiankansichi6622]

*Using zoom h6 to record his video* His other $300,000 worth of equipment: Am I a joke to you?

[@LilHoss]

So, this might be a dumb noob question.....but when you record, are you recording the midi data from the instrument and then on playback it sends the midi data back to the instrument to play it back? Or are you recording the actual audio (wave or other format) from the instrument when you record? I'm asking because I record from a Moog Grandmother and if I record the midi data and playback, I can change the settings on the keyboard and change the sound, but if I come up with a cool sound I need to record the actual audio because the GM has no ability to save setting into a preset. Your setup is crazy awesome!!

[@chrisharrison809]

He’s recording audio for everything. He’s old school. Audio only being used here. Midi is only syncing the clock

[@LilHoss]

@@chrisharrison809 I'm old school too, just getting back into music. I'm thick headed. I need all the help I can get....thanks!

[@matcar72]

My understanding was some producers like to record both, but probably can't do that with the analog gear I guess??

[@chrisharrison809]

@@matcar72 if it puts out midi it can be recorded in the daw. That’s the genius of midi... it’s just little blips on a grid. “Virtual sheet music” so to speak.

[@LilHoss]

@@chrisharrison809 Yeah, I like recording midi cuz it's less taxing on my ancient computer. I also like that it can be changed to other instruments. Cut, pasted and copied.

72ch inputs is possible on analog desk but it,s going to be very big heavy and something you need a forklift to lift to move or a team of bodybuilders. That said we all love the sound of transformer balanced pre,s and Analog EQ solid state discrete class A Neve 1073. And some trafo balnced chip based Class AB Preamps also sound very good API Trident. Yamaha makes very good products starting with the PM 1000 with transformer balanced pre,s. The Steinberg UR -RT interfaces is genius approach combining Yamahas D preamp thats very transparent with Rupert Neve Transformer 🥇is a excellent choice 😎👍. Nuange is a powerful Digital mixing desk and controller for cubase and with Dante network and remote preamps you don't need a patchbay. Perfect addition to Doctor Mix Nuange setup would be a Raven Mtx touchscreen. But maybe it,s not needed if plugin integration is good enough on the Nuange.

Man, this is insane :D

[@FHRSTD]

This is Great! Like from Odessa, UA!

[@ryderpresnell2446]

Can you please show off your console more in the future? I don't care what type of videos whether it's workflows with the Nuage, techniques learned, or even more song recreations, etc. It is fascinating to see what it can do. There's almost nothing on KZbin besides advertisements and demos. Just show it off more!

[@keith303]

ok.. this is pretty rad and most certainly has been ONE HELL of a job to install, setup and configure. i don't even want to imagine the mess a simple yamaha driver / software update could cause. but what i really wonder is how claudio keeps all the equipment dust-free... especially the synths between knobs/ faders and on top and in between the cables.. YIKES! the delay unit obviously seems to be "unmanaged", dust-wise :D

And... THIS is why I'm so proud to work for Yamaha. They're about to take over the entire studio and live sound market. I worked for them as a FOH (live) engineer, and I am now a sales rep for their local distributor in Montreal City. My boss do custom installation work for the Bell Center, and I know the guy responsible for the entire Yamaha drums backline at the International Jazz Festival. Yamaha also work with most symphonic orchestras for grand pianos and percussions, and is known to sponsor schools and new venues extremely generously. I am super proud :)

[@markferreri5814]

I first started drooling for a Nuage years ago, when it was first introduced. Loving Cubase as my primary DAW for the last15 years, this would be an awesome centerpiece for my yet-to-be-built home studio. I already have a demand for such desk. My 32X has gone as far as I can take it and now I need more inputs. You have a 76 input channel station with only16 faders. Would another input bank of 8 faders make switching a lot easier? I think I’d require 3 input modules and a control module for a total of 24 simultaneous controls. Mixing a set of drums, main vocals, backup vocals, 6 keys in stereo, guitars and bass would more than my controllers. That’s the trouble with my 32X, and getting a ‘Wing’ (although 1/10 the price of a Nudge) seems more like patching a leaky pipe instead of replacing it. I find it odd that there is no dedicated video monitors for the system, only recommendations. You are always a joy to watch. I think you should consider doing several training videos on this mixing desk to honor Yamaha’s loan to you. You present concepts and procedures very well and make learning fun. Once I do invest in a Nuage, I would continually refer back to any tutorial you made on it.

[@bharathj63]

Hey! How is the latency when tracking through your Dante network?

[@upcomingproducer4862]

Where do you/producers buy these mixer desk I always wanted to know?

[@ericschwaab95]

Hi, I love your channel and your practice videos. Question: can you make more videos about a full Nuage system like yours (for beginners)? Installation, what, how, where,... settings, problems, solution... There are are not enough videos and information about Nuage from Yamaha (in general and in German) or on the internet. I would like to know how difficult it is to install this system (like your system). Goal: 32 audio, 32 midi, sync with analog drummachines.... Which PC with which hardware? Nuage is not really cheap. More practical information before buying would be helpful. Thanks Claudio.
