TinasheTV -- Inside My Home Studio

[@kaceandrea]

I love her, but I respect her even much knowing she produces her own music. And not to mention how dope her shit sounds! This girl is special for real.

[@tian_obia]

As a music producer for 6+ years it’s incredible seeing the level of talent she has and finding out that she also produces her own music on top of everything else :O. A jack of all trades in music, wow

[@Jessyboo626]

She is incredibly talented and so likeable, I hope she never stops making music.

[@KellyDante]

It's been 4 years but I still visit this specific video for home studio inspiration. Meeting Tinashe a few months before this was made (vid of this is on my channel) & getting to sing with her as a teen was inspiring too, it instilled in me a sense that it was possible as a young women to compose fire music at home xx

[@guidryjoseph44]

Don't get it twisted, that Black UA Mic preamp and Neve preamp (next to the computer) will make your vocals shine like a diamond lol...She's right. You don't need a million dollar studio with all that outboard gear to make a professional sounding track but those pieces of gear are not cheap.

[@bryanhall8595]

joseph guidry hahahah way to keep it 100.

[@DryIce001]

joseph guidry True. Everything's relative. But her vocal chain from what you can see in the video is easily $10k+... U87 $3600, UA 6176 $2500, Neve 1073 $3500, and you can't see her interface but any decent interface is at least $2k lol

[@bryanhall8595]

Andrew Chow question. with the amount of high quality hardware im guessing acoustic treatment can be kept at a minimal?

[@DryIce001]

Bryan Hall It really depends. Acoustic treatment is a very underrated aspect of a studio, in my opinion. Each studio is different in terms of room size and layout. Since it seems she's only tracking vocals, in a bedroom studio there are some things you can do to keep it at a minimal (i.e. the little vocal shield like she uses, strategically placing "sound deadening material".. like drapes and blankets). Now, if you plan on mixing in that kind of an environment, it could be to your advantage to invest a little bit more money in treatment. All that being said, you'd be surprised what some artists have released in rather moderate recording setups. I heard Noah Shebib say on Pensado's Place that he and Drake tracked almost all of "So Far Gone" on the road and in hotel rooms. So I guess to answer your question, yes and no lol.

[@bryanhall8595]

Andrew Chow I watched that one! he apparently went around asking for material. and actually thanks for the help. Im also under the impression that an outward compressor for vocals is a must? is this true and if so what kind of compressors or brands do you suggest? you seem to be very knowledgable so i figured id ask.

[@christopherpreddie4896]

Her voice is amazing

[@itzmellowXo]

She's a producer too.... damn, that's so attractive

[@Katy38316]

Tinashe is the only girl who inspires me to make beats!!!!

[@TescoBoy568]

have u made any beats yet?

[@Katy38316]

[@Katy38316]

+TiringBard93 I will try someday but I need to protect them from copyright

[@rolidjxtraordinar3743]

She's right people. It's VERY possible to make quality sounds in your own home studio. I have a similar set up. Love my home studio.

[@TheRealProfessa]

+ROLi dj Xtraordinar Whats the best mic & software to use ?

[@modernwarfare2god100]

+TheRealProfessa It all depends. Are you a PC or Mac user? And what's your level of experience as far as recording and engineering?

[@TheRealProfessa]

PC User, I Never Recorded Myself. Just Always Went To Others.

[@modernwarfare2god100]

Try using a Blue Spark or MXL mic. They're good microphones for someone who's never recorded anything. And I suggest Adobe audition and ableton live 9.

[@laurakassens3387]

+ROLi dj Xtraordinar hey, do you use logic? I've been looking for the synthesizer she used in this video.. any idea which one that could be? :/ can't find it but i love it!

[@websitemaintenance]

For all of you wondering what her gear is: Apogee One [Audio Interface], NEVE 1073 DPA [Mic Preamp], UNIVERSAL AUDIO LA-610 MK II [Channel Strip], Neumann U87 [Microphone], Akai MAX49 [Keyboard I'm thinking its this model], no idea on the chair, she's using an iMac for her computer, Pro Tools for the DAW - a lot of money I'd tally around $12k. Nice!

[@MKingDMV]

Robert Docherty That’s not an iMac. It’s either a Mac Mini or Mac Pro. And she uses Logic to make beats and Pro Tools to record

[@randyfleming7363]

Robert Docherty QUESTION IS HOW IS SHE RUNNING THAT NEVE INTO THE UA MKII. U CANT BYPASS THE PRE ON IT SOME WONDERING HOW OR IF THAT'S EVEN WHAT SHE IS DOING? PLEASE HELP MAN IF U KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT. ILL PAY U A FEW BUCKS IN DEAD SERIOUS💯💯💯👍🏿

[@swine2264]

Randy Fleming You can bypass an audio interface’s preamps by setting the gain to 0.

[@calebwilliams7263]

and why is drake a thief? Because he collaborated with someone? guess what... your favorite musician did not write all of his own shit. he had help just like everyone does in the music biz.

[@Nysasq]

Now see! This is dope! Not just a pretty face slapped on to a record label. This girl has musicianship and can produce her own music. Kudo's Tinashe! As a fellow artist and producer myself, Respect level just way up. God Bless!

[@feltcupid]

always loved this video since i was in middle school because i looked up to female producers and still do now as i've stuck a long time with this craft. crazy that i'm 20 now, the age she was here. how fast time flies.

[@LeonelSchultz]

I can't explain how much this girl inspirates my career.

+MARQ C Why does she have The Neve ANDThe LA-610 These r both Mic pre amps right ? they basically do the same thing so why does she have two of thse ?

[@MarqCTV]

+Malmon Christopher-joy You can bypass the preamp section on the 610 and use only the compressor.

[@Capons_Place]

Always come back to this one to appreciate girl making it so big, saw this one when learning about music and home studios. She’s an inspiration ❤

[@wermeint2]

Says you don't need super fancy equipment - works with UA comp, Neumann U87, etc.

[@HellasmexyFTW]

Get a job

[@ikon8275]

Ya her setup may be in a bedroom, but noobs don't be fooled, her "basic setup" cost like 15 grand.....so...yah....

[@dianevrules]

Battle Entertainment Yep. But that's just a one time purchase price. She's still saving a ish load of money if shes doing all of her recording and editing at home. That equipment paid for itself after she spent a few days using it. Perhaps she's used that compressor and mic at a $200 an hour studio with excellent results. It would make sense for her to stick with that same ish. Nipsey Hussle did the same ish for a mic and compressor he used at a professional recording studio. He asked the engineers for the name, model, settings, etc of the compressor and mic. Then bought the same ish for his personal studio. Saves a lot of money to record ish at home then watch the clock at professional studios. Besides, one doesnt need to spend all that money on a microphone and compressor/limiter. I used to call recording studios and talk to engineers who worked on certain quality albums/songs to ascertain mics/compressors used. Most of the ones that were mentioned were priced less than $400 brand new. One doesnt have to spend $1000s on a mic and premp. Just like one doesnt have to spend 1 million or so on an SSL console with 80 inputs and a Studer tape machine. Those days are in the distant past. Most hit records are done in the box.

[@djaymillzmusic]

She didn’t say u didn’t super fancy equipment to get the best quality she said that u needed to be somewhere to get the best quality sounding music what she was trying say was u don’t need to be in super fancy spot to get the best quality music u still need really great equipment to get the best sound but u don’t need a place that has all these a acoustics and a recording booth u just need the same stuff these professional studios have and you good

[@TRIPTV504]

I've never heard of this person, but I'm very impressed that she producez her own music and the way it lookz, iz like she do it all from scratch, Nuff respect. #Bank!

[@ClayMotionStudiosO_O]

You were happier that way, back to the beginning. I miss you

[@axxatra4156]

I see all these comments about how her setup is very expensive and all of that but I don’t think people realize that she probably did not start her home studio with all of that equipment. She most likely didn’t start with that 3000$ microphone and that fancy keyboard thing. But when you release good music that people like, they buy it, and you make money. With that you can buy better equipment. Y’all need to think of that.

Yes Tinashe and how lucky you are to be in this age of technology. When I was your age a used 2" was probably around $25000. If you wanted record quality that is what you had to have along with other devices. So, the solution was to intern at a studio to get free time.Today for around $10k because of plugins you can do record quality. The reason why I got back into it.Got to love it!
