ULTIMATE RECORDING STUDIO Setup 2022 | Eastwest Studios (studio tour)

[@AndrewMasters]

My favorite studio of all time. Thank you all for watching, I hope you love it.

[@felixwerres6772]

Andrew i don't know how to start.. I am basically in love with this job and studied and everything but I just don't know how to get in a studio its just that every one is ignoring me . how did you get in your first studio job ? would love a reply greetings Felix and if there is a possibility how can I communicate with you . I would love to I know this hole sentence sounds weird but my English isn't the best anymore ... but it gets better ^^ keep going lover your videos Brother they are so inspiring

[@shawnwait6207]

Love it. So awesome you were able to do the full circle video. Thank you for sharing in great detail EWS

[@ScantlessBeatz]

Andrew this is where your got to learn? Wtf bro this is crazy. I always feel like I need to go to LA or some where but I been building my own university and just now applying for grants to try to get a bigger space and more gear.

[@ScantlessBeatz]

One thing i will say Im head of a lot of people I know with a business and company bank account, full home studio and making money doing music. Granted I still work a regular job but a lot of people look up to me.

[@drenz]

Most beautiful and inspirational studio I think i've ever seen, great video mate

[@ArthurJeffreyChomba]

To know that Andrew has worked on so many projects with so many artists, it's just mind blowing how humble he is. Also, this studio is definitely epic.

[@AndrewMasters]

Appreciate you Arthur

[@OnTheGo78]

Every studio tour I've ever seen, the dude giving the tour ALWAYS has a cup of coffee.

[@ChromaticHarp]

He’s drinking rich, chocolatey Ovaltine!

[@halsinden]

knowing studio bods as i have, i believe it's actually organic. it forms part of his respiratory system.

[@TonyAndersonMusic]

Wow.

[@rolandmdill]

44:20 One little correction about the EMT plates: the reverb time is not controlled by changing the distance between speaker and piezo. The transducer vibrates the metal plate at a specific position and the piezos (one or two, depending on if it is a mono or stereo plate) are directly mounted to the plate, you cannot change the distance. But there is a big damper made from asbestos and by turning the wheel (later models could have motors so you could control that from the control room) you change the distance between vibrating plate and damper, it moves in parallel to the sheet metal. The bigger the distance between plate and damper the longer the reverb. I have worked on multiple EMT plate reverbs, they can sound amazing but you really don't want to carry them around..

[@ChristianIce]

Dude, I officilly took your channel as the motivational engine of my days. Up in the morning, a coffee with a studio tour, and I'm good to go.

[@jeevanjoy9570]

same here

[@billyrayvalentine7972]

" You should have moved the mic or changed the mic before reaching for the EQ". Preaching the word.... What an incredible facility. ❤

[@AndrewMasters]

haha I legitimately almost said "preach it keith"

[@billyrayvalentine7972]

@@AndrewMasters . Amen Andrew. With that collection of mics one can certainly find the right tool for the job.

[@chinor3999]

"You should have changed the room before reaching for the mic"

[@laneysommer]

This is truly an iconic studio! The rich and storied history just oozes from the walls. You are so fortunate to have gotten your start in the music world at such an extraordinary place, and they, in turn, were just as fortunate to have had you. I had such a blast hanging out there with you and Ariana back in the day. Good times!

[@AndrewMasters]

Thanks Laney!

[@arianamastersofficial]

Oh boy did we have fun! That place was truly a special experience… that never really faded over the years. Thanks for watching Layla :)

[@ChromaticHarp]

Good grasp of English grammar🎉

[@matt22blaster]

I figured id watch 10 or 15 mins of this, cant believe its almost been an hour. This was a great video, thank you.

[@JerMarMusicGroup]

Very dope studio! I always thought Thriller was mixed on the Harrison. Bruce put two of them consoles together. That was at Westlake.

[@ReggieSears]

Correct

[@ChromaticHarp]

Correct😊

[@zacthesnacdavidson]

I’m so happy you had Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys as separate artists, because the story of Brian Wilson and SMiLE makes this video 1000000 times more fun and interesting

[@aceedmond8053]

Just finishing my home studio (2years) just a cup of coffee and few So Ca fwy miles from Eastwest... I know what I'll be dreaming about tonight... and tomorrow and the next ...booking some time there... what an amazing place and vibe! thanks bro!.

[@lawanedavis7818]

One word (Wow). Never seen a reverb chamber or plates. This video has shown me everything. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@niels__vdb]

Love how you keep saying "so and in here we have...". Obviously your heart is still in that place. Love seeing this one man. Good stuff! Keep it up!

[@ChromaticHarp]

That was the best studio tour I’ve experienced! I hope to record and /or mix here someday. Thanks so much!

[@larsjohansson2526]

I need that ever-auto-refilling mug!!

[@Spidouz]

I came to know Eastwest by their libraries, now a subscriber to Cloud+, and I love that we can see more about the studios where the magic happen. Thanks Andrew

[@DanSistos]

I was was fortunate enough to mix an album there last summer. What a magical place and an unforgettable experience. Keith is a class act all the way. No doubt this is the best studio in LA. It just has a vibe and aura that no other studio has. I have worked at all the major studios in LA and nothing tops East West.

[@DanSistos]

@@UB.S Go to school. Most people who work at these studios, even entry level positions, have completed an audio program at a university or recording school. Then start as an intern and work your way up.

[@alexandereditsvideo]

Word. But that next step is crucial, having a good foundation and then actually working in a real studio...

[@drewnwiseman]

Bro! What a homecoming! That's really awesome. It's always great to go back to our roots and relive the journey. Great job Andrew!

[@Mark-iv9dx]

What a great studio tour packed with historical information. For the recording enthusiast, this video will be hard to beat. Thank you!

[@peterbondmusic]

This is one of your best, not just because of the epic history of the complex, but because of your relationship with and understanding of the place.

[@contemplativecomposer5983]

As a long time subscriber to Composer Cloud Plus, this was a wonderful opportunity to witness. Thanks

[@nickyp310]

There are only a few studios in history that produced world class engineers... Ocean Way and Record Plant and Conway in LA, Little Mountain in Vancouver and Trident and Abbey Road and Air Studios in London. You are a part of a legacy you should be proud of.

[@seekersofrhythm]

Philip Stark is without doubt the greatest designer of modern times. I have been following his career since the late 90s and calling him in was a master stroke. His contribution to the studio spaces have made it so special and it is no suprise that it attractes the best. I am so envious that you had the opportunity to spent those years. I have watched almost all your tours and I have to say this is my favourite. Very cool. Stay safe J. (you should come to the UK and visit some of the best studios in the world)

[@drdelewded]

Philippe*.. ;) sorry being an ass. His designing the spaces here surprised me, I have a few of his industrial designed icon pieces in my home. (Two of his designed Yachts have been seized due to sanctions on Russian Oligarchs just recently)..

[@themattprior]

This was beautiful. I love how comfortable you feel at East West. How you express it as if you're still there and coupled with Keith's affection that is obviously the magic that he has had with his employees. You can really tell he cares about you and everyone who's worked there.

[@justindear1255]

One of my favorite parts about this studio tour is how you can just see how comfortable Andrew is to be in his old stomping grounds :)

[@AndrewMasters]

So much love for this place

[@brianmclendon1647]

So rad, I am truly envious of you getting to work there @ 19 years old. You are living my dream, if I could go back in time I would do everything I could to get into a big studio like you did. I can’t imagine how much you learned.

[@AndrewMasters]

I certainly learned a lot! lol.

[@ericconvey]

A wonderful hour spent watching this.

[@davidandrews8618]

Incredible behind the scenes video. Fantastic history and definitely one of my favorites so far!🙏Thank you for sharing this!

[@DavidAndrewsPEC]

Not only do we share a name ... we also share an opinion on this video!

[@i_make_sounds]

Oh my God, man. That was absolutely incredible. What a dream come true it must have been to work in this magical place. I certainly have daydreamed quite a bit about it.

[@hummarstraful]

My absolute favorite of all your videos. Just wonderful.

[@unclemose]

Studio five with the window is a GEM.

[@P-J-W-777]

In my opinion no digital studio will ever be able to reproduce the warm beautiful sound that these analog studios will. The amazing sounds that came from this studio will never be matched. I’m sure it’s why so many artists are starting to go back to these studios again. I’ve always been so fascinated with studios and wished I had lived in an area where I could have started a career working in the studio.

[@jeffalbro4534]

What a incredible journey looking at the studio you cut you teeth at, and all the legacy & history of players that have recorded at Eastwest Studios!

[@jonathankelley1741]

Loved the video tour!! Looks like an amazing place to spend some time!

[@ryand_wood]

So awesome! Studio 1 was the spot were I conducted my first orchestra when attending the UCLA Film Scoring program. Such a trip to see that control room again, felt like just yesterday. Appreciate the tour brotha!

[@Mutamula]

Such an amazing studio with rich history. This has got to be one of the best video by Andrew....thanks man!

[@grantwalkersound]

Such an iconic studio and probably the most in depth tour I've seen of it. Possibly my favorite video yet.

[@evanharmon7928]

Thank you Keith and Andrew for a great glimpse of recording history. Past, Present, and undoubtedly the future as well. 🙏

[@OlyGordon.Specdrum]

Mate. Your passion and love for what you do really came through when you were reminiscing on how the studio brings in "new blood". Always a highlight of my week watching these videos. Visuals on these latest videos has been 👌👌👌 backing music is perfect. Your work as a "host", super comfortable and enjoyable. Keep up the good work legend. 🤙🏽

[@patrickonvancouverisland9223]

What a historic studio !! Really enjoyed this one Andrew👏👏 👌🇨🇦

[@popolokross444]

Definitely one of the best video you ever made

[@AndrewMasters]

Thanks!

[@TankumK]

Great, great studio. So historic. Thanks for setting that up. What fun!

[@johnvcougar]

OMFzG ... that's amazing. ❤ 😮 Now I want to hear the compositional lovechild of Dave and Elton!

[@leetingler619]

Thanks, I really enjoyed your tour of East West. Many years ago l had a studio supply and recording studio in Miami. This was a great walk down memory lane. 🙂

[@Erin-li4nw]

Wow you killed it on this video, it's soooooo good! East West is by far the coolest studio I've ever seen!

[@AndrewMasters]

Thank you!!

[@drdelewded]

The SSL console that we used to have at my work until about 2003 ran off not those 3.5" not the 5" but the REALLY old 8" floppys.. and you needed to pop in two in side by side disc drives to start up the computer.. its was a 4000 series.

[@jhardindrums]

LOVE East West and their products (Use their Composer Cloud service). Love being able to use their Spaces plugin to get the sound of their rooms on tracks, especially given the history of those rooms with different bands and film music recorded there. Absolutely iconic studio.

[@bishopsjmusic]

I just want to say thank you for what you do, Andrew. I was surprised to find myself so touched by this video. Your content really inspires me as a young musician. Peace.

[@J82-m4w]

Amazing studio!! Great video. Really enjoyed this one.

[@NoCoverCharge]

This is by far my favorite episode you have done .. cause you built it up for years and then Boom! Chaka! Boom! You bring in the big Gun ! Nicely done

[@eddysel10]

Excellent work Andrew! This is an amazing studio. We have seen the rooms, equipment, the million dollar mic closet, and even the amazing kitchen. The next step is to give us a tour of a real tracking, mixing and mastering session (virtual of course) in this studio. Since you started with these series of studio tours, Monday has become Great day 🎶🎵🎸👍

[@DarrylBarnesDance]

I was blessed enough to take a tour of this place and my God its is rich with some much history. So inspiring!

[@Thirsty_Deer_Studio]

Very interesting. I'm so into seeing these rooms with all their history and amazing gear. And Seeing where you got your start and passion was interesting too...💻🎤🎧😎

[@tunefinite]

Getting close to 100k well deserved subscribers - One of my favourite channels!

[@jordanthurt]

Got a tour of East West with a friend who started their career there. Got to take a peek at all the rooms and accidentally walked in on John Mayer's and John Legend's sessions. Really cool place with tons of history. I learned a lot from my friend that day that completely changed my ideas towards mixing.

[@LBJedi]

This was amazing! One of the coolest videos you’ve done so far. Loved watching😊

[@Keving3]

Andrew, that was a wonderful tour, so much history. I knew Fred Bova before he moved to the West Coast, both working with local bands, LOL, some guy Bolotin / Bolton :) I opened a pro service shop and Fred moved West. He's told me about the studio but I have to say, words have a hard time doing it justice. Fred's band is playing a couple miles down the road tomorrow evening, I may drop in. Again, beautiful studio.

[@TonyThomas10000]

I haven't been in that building since the 80s when it was still United-Western. I was working on something for Mix at the time...

[@fenni1666]

You come across very sincere and that makes this video so good.

[@NeilAloha]

Thanks for the video guys so informational again thank you so much fun watching these kind of videos

[@marvinbell7007]

That was really cool. I have the Eastwest Studio plugin and enjoy the mics and sounds. Thanks for doing this and the truly EPIC RECORDING STUDIO (Eastwest Studio) for sharing.

[@JedWunderli]

You've made lots of great videos, Andrew, but this was far and away my favorite. Love it. Thanks.

[@101derekb]

Awesome studio! One of favorites so far! Keep it up

[@67Rec]

Sound-wise, this is where it started for me...becoming curious about the Wall of Sound, after noticing how textured the Mamas and Papas records were. Thanks for doing this and sharing your story, very relatable and charming.

[@applehillstudios]

Loved this tour!!! Amazing. Also picked up Eastwest Space II thanks to your shoutout. Amazing software! Keep 'em coming sir!

[@InVerum]

Man, I've driven past this building so many times and had no idea! Really cool to see it from the inside.

[@roscoenyc]

I love how you refer to the mics as "we've got ......" your time there shows in the very best way!

[@andrewwhitehouse1878]

Amazing tour Andrew, just love your work please keep it up, always come away from your videos inspired! FWIW, Thriller.. according to the man himself Bruce Swedien in interviews/forums was mixed on the Harrison 32c at Westlake studios, not sure if the Neve here was commissioned but not used? What a console though.. phew!

[@clydedowney2620]

Andrew, I love your studio tours. EastWest looks great thanks for sharing not just the studio tour but also your personal connection with it! Players Singers Do Their Thing, Like A Wedding That Needs No Ring, Captured By Those Who Have Gone Before, Stand In Places Of Those No More, Idol Figures In One's Head, Thinking Wondering What Was Said, Those Who Pass Through Such A Place, Leave With Respect For It Can't Be Replaced, Modern Times A Fleeting Thing, Just Like Weddings And Wedding Rings!

[@marko-G6]

I love this video. East West is like a museum.

[@PapiVanWinkle]

the floor in vinyl....no way!!! mind blowing 🤯

[@scotth4041]

Wow, what an amazing tour! Great video my friend!

[@christopherjackson5696]

Love love L O V E it!! You could absolutely see and hear the sentimentality coming from you as you shared this tour with us!! Great job Andrew!!

[@HollerAtcherBoi]

Whoa... this may be one of the best audio engineering channels in existence. Well done, and thank you!

[@trevoroutim8519]

Epic studio and video. It felt like such a heartfelt studio visit. Great stories.

[@GrecoMEMOIREMusic]

This place is beautiful!

[@WilliamAshleyOnline]

very cool. This is like looking at candy in a candy shop.

[@torsten_agrypnie]

Incredible and stunning studio! Thank you for the great video and the insights!

[@teybrecords]

great video!

[@SoundFriendly]

the most impressive studio(s) I have every seen. Congrats on this video.

[@jeasperkrll6528]

This is an absolutely WONDERFUL and heart-warm video with so much great info and stories - thanks so much!!

[@danvan7137]

Thanks for the tour. It brings back a lot of memories. I tracked in Studio 2 once years ago and still have fond memories of an amazing space and gear.

[@pyschointellectual]

Thanks for sharing, it was a great experience just seeing this truly historical place. I'm in the UK but I love sweet water, just keep doing what you doing

[@em0jr]

Wow, I was a runner across the street at Serenity West (Sage and Sound Studios). I got to visit Eastwest once to get some mics repaired. The lobby area made me feel like I was at a modern art museum.

[@jasonryan4824]

@andrew, i appreciate you man. Keep doing what you do and keep the videos coming.

[@hwy138]

my late sons Aidan and Ainsley Hubbard along with Ryan "Gizzy" Golob recorded their last Jam Stain album there. They were so excited. and thrilled.

[@PamelaMicheleSpicer]

Andrew! I did love it this video. Eastwest Studios story is similar to our story. Very inspiring and enlightening.

[@mimidhof2179]

[@chrisvantassel8867]

Best studio in the world managed by one of my favorite humans, Candace Stewart!! Room 2 rules!

[@UnderGroundMusicStudioHorsens]

love your show. Cool studios

[@mortonwilson795]

Great tour thanks - what history! I have a lot of respect for EastWest musical software packages and it's not surprising the studio is state of the art and musician friendly - I worked with Doug Rogers back in NZ in the 70's on some of our band and soundtrack projects and even then he was light years ahead of anyone else around in terms of his dedication to quality production at both a technical and a 'human' creative level - impeccable producer. Would love to record over there someday!

One of the nicest and most functional facilities ever created.
