Two of my favorite channels, great to see you guys together. And I love the console, countless great records were made on Trident consoles.....👍👍👍
Can I borrow a guitar and a console?
Takes one to know one.
😂
The master speaks.🙇🏽♂️
Ya that’s the .. you’ve come along way boys …
I love Andrew Masters. This has to be the best collab. I hope he tours your place when you got it rocking
A Trident console huh? I got chills just from the sheer connection to the past right there. Queen, Bowie, T.Rex Lou Reed, Rush and a ton of others recorded at Trident Studios in England and they quickly went on to develop recording consoles as well...obviously to feed their obsession. That deck is part of arguably some of the best rock history ever! Ziggy Stardust, the first 3 Queen albums...man! Sorry to geek out like that
Dear Prudence, Hey Jude, Savoy Truffle, I Want You (She's So Heavy)....
Also Genesis' A Trick Of The Tail LP along with Elton John's early albums, up to and including Madman Across The Water. Lou Reed's Transformer and Carly Simon's No Secrets as well.
Ha!! Love seeing you both together!
It’s so awesome seeing you guys build up these amazing studios and get such awesome sounds out of them. All very well deserved and inspiring to watch. Keep up the great work.
A wild Bandrew appeared!
@@gitpho so true...I'm not jealous at all...if only I could fit one into the my closet ;)
Andrews channel really helped me find some order in the chaos of my studio. It’s a small bedroom that at this point is full of gear. Seeing how he and dozens of other people solved storage problems and over tidiness issues with affordable options really helped. Getting my room under control, not so much from an acoustic treatment standpoint but in a functionally workable type of thing was a game changer for me.
Loved seeing a tour of my husband's space for a change! You did a great job :) Thanks for coming over.
I grew up in console/tape machine studios and it’s nice to hear modern guys appreciate what that provides vs. the process of click and drag and staring at a screen. Down for dumping to hard drive as you’ll retain your high end on the multitude of mix passes. But tracking and mixing with a console is where it’s at. As Brett said, the tactile nature of it is everything and you’re not so micro focused on a parameter.😊
I think there are other arguments to be made for digital. Tracking through a console anytime you can, but when you include client budget & timeframe, mixing in the analogue domain is just so hard to justify. Recalls are impossible or you need a console that has total recall (I don't have to explain how expensive & time consuming that is). I understand how having 64 channels of SSL EQ & compression for mixing was quite something in the past, but with the plugins & crazy good outboard that we have these days it makes a whole less sense.
Don't get me wrong, as someone who grew up mixing live on consoles like the Midas XL3, I feel I have to work harder to get a great sound even on the highest end digital desk. There something about analogue desks that's absolute magic. But lord do I love saving a show by the press of a button, running CAT6 instead of a 150 pounds of copper, patching in a matrix instead of a huge splitter on stage via coms...
Or in the studio sitting down in my chair and have my complete mix from months ago up in about 3 minutes. And I don't have to do 4 days of maintenance every month on a mammoth console that eats power like a small condo complex.
The absolute majority of engineers these days work hybrid, best of both worlds is the only way forward.
Thanks for coming through Rhett, super fun hang!
One thing I love about your videos Rhett is how excited you get about everything. Doesn't matter if its the gear or the story - you always have a wide smile on your face. Love it.
My contribution to your studio is my experience with Roc-n-Soc - they have options (including a square seat, which I have, and it's awesome) you can select with a checkbox to configure anything from a straight up throne to an office chair complete with casters, foot ring, and backs with piston height adjustment in several fabric types. Check your boxes, pay about a couple hundred bucks, and in a few weeks your built to order chair arrives - I've had mine for about 15 years and it's just now getting ready for a piston change (I've been saying that for like 5 years lol) and the fabric is nearly perfect on top with just some of the piping on the edge worn a bit.
I'm not an affiliate but I wish I was. It's the type of tool you literally buy once; I see a lot of their configurations in a LOT of the best studio videos, which also affirms not just the quality but the comfort since a lot of places won't care about the cost of something they're gonna buy a few of, once. But they're so much less cost than any other seating option and with the configurability you can fill all your needs and spend half what you were on "specialty" furniture that fits the "role".
Honestly I can't believe it's lasted this long and I use it for hours a day for everything from playing guitar to computer work and it's super comfy for all of it (why it gets constantly used). Can't say enough about the product...it's done right at a very fair price.
Yea! Crazy wicked to see Andrew on your channel! Followed him back when he only had 10.000 subs - and even back then he put out some amazing quality content. He is hard working and comes across as an extremely nice guy. And I bet his videos did a lot for a many of us - myself included, when I built my home studio. Would be awesome to see him help you with your studio build.
Y'all are literally my 2 favorite channels on TH-cam and here y'all are collaborating. Freakin love it
Two of my favorite creators, working together - I love it!
I've followed AM since before built this and its a helluva an impressive studio and his chops have also come a long way in a short time as well.
So cool to see a video of you two ! I hope he will tour your studio when it’s done ! :)
Andrew's studio tours are fantastic and watching the changes to his studio (and the newer studio after building the previous one when they moved) has been really cool to see. So many interesting things, it's like watching different home design shows on HGTV and wanting to steal all the different ideas for your own future house.
Not having a console myself, I think the big thing will be determining the maximum size you will need and the maximum budget first. Figure that out and get the best option (for you) in that price range. Once you get around 20k there are several options w/a lot of channels and all good quality. It gets crazy what some companies want to charge for something like a smaller 8 or 16 channel, but between paying for a name or going w/a smaller brand who doesn't have economies of scale behind them, just so many options out there.
A console is way more than I would ever need, but there is such a mystique built up about them. Hell, the KLF had tracks with (Live at the SSL) tagged on them, and it was literally them sitting at the console recording them live in the studio. But a modern SSL isn't exactly going to be the same sound as that late 80s SSL that could have easily been a 70s design. Lots of research to do and you are in a uniquely privileged position to be able to visit w/folks who have studios with them (or visit Sweetwater's studios) to see what you really like the sound and workflow of best.
I'm sorry the studio project went sideways the way it did and I've been looking forward to more videos about it, but one day we will see it all in the end. Best of luck Rhett!
Sounds KILLER! Goals on your drum sound.
Great video guys . loved it 👍👍
Brilliant drum sounds!
I've said it so many times before. Trident has one of the best sounds in the industry. Audient as well.
Rock out with your socks out! I loved this video. It's always awesome to see a couple of your favorite creators collaborate.
I’m striving to have this in my life. God damn! The organization and lay out is amazing!
Andrew is the man. Hoping for more collabs between you and him in the future!
Thanks for more power!!
Howdy Rhett and Andrew,
Totally awesome use of wasted space. Don’t forget you also have 20’ x 20’ below that can be used for orchestral works or tributes to those who have gone to that other band.
BTW - Probably best to just bite the bullet and use pre-drilled wood as your coffee and other pourable liquids station top above your amp shelf. One-half to one full inch holes gets the job done right if in a hurry for your liquid amp screams.
Enjoy both your channels! Hopefully Andrew will do a studio tour of your new one when it’s completed.
So rad seeing you with him, love his channel and hope he inspired some ideas for ya.
Crazy, I literally just came across Andrew's channel from his recent tour of Mitch Gallagher's home studio and then you do this video so clearly I was meant to find his channel lol. He definitely has a great studio and I am a HUGE proponent of having a control surface. I went through a couple different ones before I finally settled on the UF8 when it came out and I will never go back to any other one. It is BY FAR the best control surface out there. Used in conjunction with my SSL Big Six, it definitely gives me the hybrid studio setup where I barely have to use the mouse at all and the fact that you can link multiple UF8s together is a plus.
Amazingly awesome!
I love this! I saved this to my favorites. I also subscribed to his channel. My home studio setup will definitely be similar.
Get 16 or 24 BAE 1073 or 1084s Rhett. Rack em up like a console. It would be that Neve console. I just got my 1st BAE 1073 and it changed things in my studio. Even DI is excellent now. Andrew's show is great for people with studios
Guitar tone is awesome.
Super fun to watch these guyss!!
Excellent video content!
Rhett, as a console owner (I bought a used Neve 5088 during the pandemic)- some things to consider... regardless of whether a console is new or old- if a channel goes down, look for a console that is serviceable per channel. I love the trident stuff but if you go that route- get the Trident 88- not the 68. The 68 is only serviceable in banks of 8. That means if one channel goes down, you have to take the other seven down to repair it. Not the case with the 88 series. Its an important purchase - so do it right. Other consoles I would recommend. The Neve 5088. You can start with 8 channels and expand, the Api 1608 and the Iron age audioworks console. Also- make sure you invest your money with a proven company thats going to be around for a long time. Hope that it helps.
Man, this is goals. :) thanks for the tour, Rhett!
My 2 favs YT Channels at the same video !! Super cool
So glad you guys did a video together!
Trident makes some great little consoles.
That room is incredible, definite vibes🍑
after owning 2 big consoles i took the decision to work fully in the box with good mic pres/channelstrips as input and quality analog on my 2 bus mainly for recall ability. keep in mind that this makes sense for studios that have a lot of clients. if you do albumwork or work mainly for yourself a console is uber fun and i would go for it 10/10. studio looks dope af
I love seeing all the cool gear people make music with. This was a cool video
Fantastic video Rhett!! BTW, I know you love Robben Ford’s guitar tone, and for a few bars of your playing in this video I feel like you are nailing it! Keep it up brother!
One of the best crossover eveeerrrr! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
this is awesome. im looking for some more stuff to get my instagram videos looking and sounding better so this is great.
this was cool thanks
My best recordings were late 80s early 90s on 8 track tape tascam then mixed to Cd or cassette
What a colab is this?!! awesome … thanks ….
YES!! We finally got this collab!
Ohh nice!! A crossover I wasn't expecting but love to see it!!! you guys are awesome!
Rhett I grew up with analog mixers and gear for most of my life. I'm like you. I love working with faders and knobs rather than mouse and keyboard. It's tactile. It's direct. And it's a feel I'm very familiar with. Love your colab, and I checked out Andrew's channel too. Great video and awesome jam tracks you guys threw down.
Andrew’s Studio is really nice!
get the uc-1 along with the uf-8 -- the SSL channel strip 2 and mix bus plugin come with it and it is incredible
My preferences and thoughts as to the Analog/Digital board thing:
Digital recalls/control would be preferable ( like on SSL consoles).
But you just can't beat a good quality analog preamp!
It is also hard to replace analog compressors and a lot of other outboard processing, so you need lots of high quality I/O for that.
But the recall and automation on faders and controls is best dine digital.
Being able to record the signal at any point in your processing stage is nice, it enables you to redo a take if you make errors on your processing side, while keeping the original performance untouched.
so my channel chain would be mic-Preamp-A/D, D/A-eq/comp/lim-A/D, D/A-effects-A/D, on a digital console and to a DAW recording.
It is a lot about your disiplin and headspace. Even if you have/use a DAW does not mean you need to babysit it!
Set up/configure your gear and hit record! play and have fun! hit stop when done. Bytes are cheap!
Then you can chop it up later, extract the good parts, and do all the DAW stuff.
Running out of tracks on your tape recorder will always be a problem. 8, 16 or 24 is never enough....
Rick Beato and Andertons TV. Rick with Tim Pierce. Now Rhett Shull and Andrew Masters. We’re approaching the TH-cam music creators singularity.
Andrew is the man!
What a crossover!!!
That's quite impressive.
Hell yeahs, my favorite two TH-camrs together!
really cool video guys. I wish I wrote and recorded more so I could justify something this awesome in my house. I love the zone idea.
Worlds are colliding! 😮
Brilliant crossover.
Neve custom series 75 Burbank audio. In api price range new neve sound. Pretty sure Bruce still makes them.
Great video, and a boss setup brodda. I had the pleasure of recording at this place called the mouse house one time in Pasadena. Legit 2" tape machines..omg. There's just nothing better for drum tones. You bash them 66 Ludwig's hard as f*cking hell..then listen back and hear all the transients tail off with this beautiful hiss that's hard to describe... addicting. Cheers-
Not the drum stick snapping at 0:25
The main thing is , get in there and steal the ideals-- then as you're leaving dump the coffee down the amps haha... Rhett live music is everything to me , recording live- we listen later and I ask who is that playing that part on the guitar ?-->and they said "you"...wow that's what they call getting in the groove.
Dude! You´ve got a Supro! Nice!!
Lots of interesting thoughts and ideas ... just need the money ... LOL !!
At this point I am using a hybrid system. But I am considering 2 options for moving forward. One is the ssl origin desk. Or go full uad and try to make as much use of the unison pre’s as posible. And for controls using usb controlled controllers. 😅
8:35 “whether it’s a home studio... pro studio? NO STUDIO? Sweetwater’s got you covered” 😂😂
Thanks to you too, SweetWater.
Soo cool
1:58 Andrew just did not get the sarcasm hahahaha
Studio looks amazing Rhett. Congrats!!! Make some music!!
This is the TH-cam dream team!
Reminds me a lot of Colt Capperrune’s studio in Nashville.
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Hell yeah
Rhett you should get the API 1608 check out Produce like a Pro where Warren is talking about it with a guy from API. Very modern integration with digital
Andrew is a G
2:42.... every guitar players dream .....that is exactly what a guitar player wants to here.
Lolol finally someone pulls an Andrew on Andrew!!
Great video👍 - was wanting it to keep going longer! How many channels do you want for your console Rhett?
Crossover of the century
Rhett, your guitar sound in this video is RIDICULOUSLY good!
This is like seeing the Avengers together for the first time. You guys are Legends! Please do more content together
awesome piece straight up. Man yr comment re using mouse/keybord .. ' [eyes squinting] I feel like I'm mixing with my eyes and not my ears' wow this is such a foundational consideration from beginner to intermediate [and impacts on everything you do] I've never really seen this covered anywhere - a piece on what peripheral hardware/panels/mixers [from entry up] are on offer? ...and how theyll change your life would be way cool] ...if I cant stand up and lean into the zone to dail in something with an actual knob/button/fader i couldnt do anything - seriously lol. Peace : )
Cool! 😃
Awesome video guys! What fuzz did you use in the track, Rhett?
Shout out Butch!
Hey Rhett, I met you at NAMM and we were talking about the the original owner of the Masco head, your studio build, and your hunt for a console. I remember you were thinking about the Trident. I’m also on a hunt for a console and the SSL Origin seems to be the one for me. The Genesys is great (worked on them for so long), and the API as well. But the extra components to make each fader control your daw just sounds like extra repair cost if it ever comes to it. I would love to talk to you more about it!
I've been waiting for this for so long! I've always said that you two were the same TH-camr (no offense). Andrew was Rhett for drummers and Rhett was Andrew for guitarists.
\m/ ...I had to carry everything upstairs to my little office/studio...sucked :( ...more gear is always necessary, as are guitars....thanks Rhett and Andrew
Best dudes on TH-cam including Rick Beato
Nice haircut bro!
My two favorite channels collide... 🤘
I am not saying I am a better player than Rhett or that Rhett ever sucked at playing guitar- I AM saying that I have noticed as I have enjoyed these videos over the last 2-4 years that Rhett's playing has progressed noticeably and I like that. Kudos.
You are correct with out a doubt
AAGGGHHHHHHHH..!!! I’m doing this.! As soon the room frees up..Cool..!
Power requirements..?
I do love a channel crossover.
Nice studio, would be fun to Jam with you fellas
Yo I've seen this dude b4...
Can’t believe this collab finally happened.
