Maor is a really gentle guy. He even couple of times replied to my emails when I was seeking for advice on a piece of outboard gear.
That's great to hear Zany! It's wonderful to hear that Professionals take the time to respond to the people who follow them or email them directly! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
"The change doesn't mean its always the right thing". Now thats wisdom!
Hi +John Jones Great stuff!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
True true! I learned that from my mentor and other mastering engineers
R.I.P Bill Dooley
Maor mastered one of the Albums I recorded and I cant thank him enough for what he has brought to the table! Amazing mastering engineer!
that mastering guy was on point and showed literally exactly what to do with a track when you sit down to master it !
I love how people explain the Attenuate Boost Rule for a Pultec. It is like people describing the offside rule in football/soccer.
Haha genius
Soooo much wisdom in this video. One of the best mastering videos out there in my humble opinion. great insight on the differences in sound and function of gear.
My hat's off to Warren.

Thanks ever so much for your great comment! I'm glad to be able to help! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
one of the coolest audio quotes from a guest in your series and probably even in life "Like everything in life every day you wake up differently and you think differently. You might have the same mind set but one day your hearing I want to hear more high end the other day it’s like I want it warmer - you know". (Maor Applebaum)
Hi +Mat Melton Agreed 100% AMAZING! Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
I came for the mastering. I stayed for the sideburns. Outstanding work.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼hear, hear
Warren Huart is such a positive spirit. And Maor is equally a sonic genius.
Great Video! Maor is an amazing dude and talented Mastering Engineer. Glad to see this included in the series
Hi +Greg Wurth Yes I had a blast with Maor! Great guy and extremely talented! Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
I've been away for a while and just caught up. I have to say I'm always amazed at the quality of your uploads. They are consistently great, useful and insightful. Thank you Warren!
Hi +noisesoundtonevibe Thanks very much I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
It's awesome to see Maor in the serie. He is the best mastering engineer I've had the chance to work with. Thank you Warren for the great videos you put out.
Hi +No-B Music You're welcome! Thanks very much I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
I love these behind-the-scenes videos. Going through each piece of gear is really invaluable.
Thanks
Hi +Rob Herman Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
I love what Maor says here about auditioning gear/changes and deeply considering whether the change is better or if it just perks him up because it's different.
Reminds me of when I was a kid visiting the eye doctor for the first time- A few minutes in and I was frustrated, eyes dilated, sitting on a phone book on chair in that dark room, looking through the giant binocular looking thingy, stuck between two completely blurry lens options, with the doctor asking me, "which looks better these or *click* these." Somewhere along the way I had made a grave mistake. We eventually started all over just like Maor does.
Hi +Bryce Hodge Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Yes Maor is a wonderful guy!! Great philosophy! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
The excitement you get from a piece of equipment isn't always the right thing, is some of the best advise I have heard in a long time. Great vid brother!
Hi +todd purnick Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Absolutely fascinating stuff. I've been watching these videos back to back for the last few hours and I'm hooked!
Thanks very much!! So glad to be able to help!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Why would anyone give a dislike for these videos????
Hi +Drasko Popovic Aw shucks!! Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
+Drasko Popovic Because Trolls have nothing better else to do but be Trolls :) There I said it! Maor is very approachable and down to earth guy! He's never not answered a question from me! Fair dude and extremely knowledgeable!!
Hi +Don “Diamond D'” Patterson That's wonderful to hear! Yes Maor is a great guy! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
+Don “Diamond D'” Patterson In all fairness the audio during most of the video does suck a little with all the static and background noise and is pretty annoying fair reason to dislike Just sayin : )
Hi +Frequency Studios Thanks for your comment! I am sorry that you feel the need to dislike the video because of the noise of people moving around etc. I didn't realise that would detract from the information that Maor was giving us. When showing up to different studios we get different issues to work around, it's not always perfect, but I do believe it's better to get the best results you can given any circumstance! It's a similar philosophy I have to recording, capturing the best performances is more important to me than anything! Sometimes you just have a 57 available and a 2 input interface with cheap pres and you just have to get the performance down! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Thank you, Maor - love your philosophy and approach!
Warren and Maor, great video. It's good to see a rundown of the gear Maor uses day to day and insights about what are the features of each. Very relevent information for me. Thanks again.
Hi +Gordon Gidluck Yes Maor is a great guy! Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
That was absolutely amazing
Oh, man! Starry eyed and my ears begging a taste. Great info, guys!
This channel really is the Brothel Of Knowledge! Thanks so much for sharing, really appreciate these detailed uploads you create!
Hi +Adam Callan Thanks very much I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
With the amount of equipment shown, it would take a genius just to figure out how this matrix would be interconnected. The cabling must be truly complex. This guy has some extremely awesome audio gear. Must have taken several years to progress to the stage we are all admiring. Too many decisions and options for me to handle at this point in my mastering career. I'd be curious how much this guy charges for his projects. I think it would be safe to say he has probably half a million or more invested. Overall what I find amazing is that although I've seen most of this equipment in other mastering facilities, no two engineers completely agree on their layout and audio chain. This is what makes mastering as artful as any other process in music production. Most mastering engineers have the same goal in mind of taking what give them to where you want to be. There just simply isn't two facilities that have the same template of equipment or perception of how to get there. Truly one of the best and complete videos on the topic. Thanks for sharing...
A true audio artist and unsung hero
great video Warren, thanks Maor for your insight!
Hi +Jim Gahagan Aw shucks! Thanks very much I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Great interview as always Warren, you ask questions I would ask which I appreciate!
very informative and mostly kept it real and honest! Thank you
Hes a such an awesome dude, super nice guy and, much like yourself warren, always nice and responds to questions
Hi +Downbeat1984 Yes I love Maor!! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
SO RAD WARREN! You're like my mentor / teacher / inspiration and its awesome!
Hi +Mat Melton Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
There's so much details !! Awesome !! Thanks Warren
Hi +Rex Vijayan Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
great video, what a amazing mastering studio.
great rundown on your setup Maor. Cheers!!
Great tour, explanation and not least gear!
I love when you visit your patner studios😍😍
Thank You the video.
I am looking at the Vari Mu and the Massive.
When I heard tone, my ears perked up.
Good stuff Warren👋 very good description Maor of the ‘ inner workings’ of the units☝️👍
You get excited just because you heard a change! a change doesn’t mean it is good. How brutally true Thanks great stuff
Maor is really cool guy. He's been really attentative to people's questions especially during my time on gearslutz from 2007-2010. i lost track of all that ever since i moved to Portland.
Great guy, amazing gear!
Great video Warren, thanks a lot for sharing !! What's interesting I think is also what we can hear... The acoustic in this room feels really special and controlled. And what Maor says at the end is the key thing I think: " To figure out if you really need the decision... Applying more & more could work against you "... " The change doesn't mean it's always the right thing"....
And also once again, the speakers & amps seem essential !! Might be even more important than all EQs / comps (added to the Mastering engineer's ears....).
Hi +Inverted Poles Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Yes it's all about Mastering Engineer's ears! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Thanks Maor. Great video dude.
Enjoyed the video. Maor is oozing with talent! Great mastering engineer!
Hi DofkaTubeChannel yes agreed!
Thank you so much! Awesome job!
I survived this video.. Wow what amazing video...
Hi Warren: great and insightful video as always! Love your approach to sharing your great knowledge!
I do this (performing and producing music)for a living, but it's always great to hear even the basics when told in such a detailed manner. There's (almost) always a different and interesting angle. And even if you already know that angle: it's always great having it confirmed by the best of the best. Learning is a lifelong process. But of course you know that better than anyone :-) Thanks for sharing all that great knowledge!
Hi +Christian Schonberger Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
So Happy I joined this Channel!!!!! things a knew but more great Point of views!
Hi +Simone white Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Thank you. Very nice presentation.
Maor Rocks !!! So very meticulous...Thanks For the Vid Warren !
Hi +Paul Bryson Thanks very much I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Maor is a super nice guy and insanely talented ME. If you want your music to sound extraordinary and on the next level, send it to Maor. When people like Bob Horn and Ken Lewis respect him, you are top tier in your talent. Cheers Maor and great info Warren Huart. Thank you for being diligent in your pursuit of sharing accurate knowledge to aspiring engineers.
Hi +MT Champion Yes I had a wonderful time with Maor! He was generous to show us around his great Mastering Room! Thanks very much I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Great video, very informative! Thank you very much Warren
Hi +fabianjehnen Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Nice system! Go Maor!
The JCF AD/DA converters are some of my favorites!
The Portico and the Manley Massive Passive Mastering EQ are my favorite pieces of gear in this studio.
Thanks for sharing Charles
thanks for this really good details :)
This video explains a lot of informations. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
2015 videos were before I subscribed I suppose. And this one is really informative!
I've come here through Scott Devine's recommendation. What great interesting clips you're putting up. Inspiring and very helpful.
Hi +Kick biker Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Yes Scott Rules!!! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
This is very Inspiring, thanks a lot Guys 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Really good insights. Amazing to see the different types of gear being used. That only thing I would like to see added to these discussions going forward is an inquiry into room treatment. Many mastering engineers consider this to be one of the most important (if not the most important) considerations in designing their studios. It's a glarying oversight to exclude this info from the discussion.
great program!
Hi +Fezzler61 thanks very much! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Great Interview thank you
Thanks ever so much
Some nice tips in here from Maor, thanks.
Hi +Rob Husband Yes Maor is fantastic!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Great video, Warren. Being a gear junkie, I always love seeing lots of great gear and he's got plenty of it. I would think that being a mastering engineer is a bit like being a race car driver in that when you drive a really high performance car for work, your daily driver seems boring by comparison just like when you listen through such high quality gear, listening on any other system would pail in comparison. Thanks again for the effort and time.
Hi +Jed Wunderli Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
This best tutorial ever
Really interesting video as always! I'm not a "gear junkie" as such but always amazing to see an expert in their field. I would have perhaps liked to see a bit more of Maor talking about how he actually does his job and his beliefs and ethos of mastering, but I guess that's a whole other video ha ha! Thanks guys :-)
Hi +nick foister Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it We did quite a long video and there is much more we could do! Maybe there will be a part two. Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Awesome vid.
Hi +ras dudeist Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Very informative as always. Amazing gear. Drool. :)
Thanks Geo!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Always best to have as many equipment types as there are infinite possibilities on a Mix, production...Mastering activities...etc
If you have that option that is great!
@@Producelikeapro Indeed/agreed !!! .... our creativity does wonders with the resources we have..... : ) .......the additional resources ....do go along w/our growth in the profession and enjoying further quality of our work and its resulting Art! ....👍
Amazing Video. Thank you Warren and Maor for turning us on to the fine details of a pro level mastering studio.
The next time I see a bedroom studio guy running Logic and Ozone with a cheap pair of krk's and claiming that he is a "Mastering Engineer"...
I'm going to show him this video and say "are you sure"? Would love to see and hear this setup in action. Just one little session?
If Warren Huart could let the real pro speak without interruptions this would have been an awesome interview. Realy legendary gear Maor Appelbaum!
Thanks Warren for putting the name of the gear on screen
:)
Hi +Rick Nadeau Of course! So glad to be able to help! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Nice video great info thanks a lot.
Hi +TimeMarchesOnBand Thanks for watching! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Thanks for sharing
All very true! The pros have experience and gear that is FAR beyond what us average schmucks have - and proper acoustic spaces too. Its worth the money going pro....
Maor mastered my bands last album and I can’t imagine it sounding better
A always thought mastering is more about ears and not about gears. But gears like this really help and eases your ear's work.
Nice interview keep the analog alive
Hi +drexel moliere Thanks for watching and commenting! Have a marvelous time recording and mixing! Many thanks Warren
I'm working my way through the mastering playlist now, so you can guess my new album is nicely on schedule! I realise this is very old now, but I could really do with much more of a generic how-to on mastering rather than this fascinating discussion about loads of equipment I don't have.
When I had my ‘demo’ mastered in the good old days, I couldn’t tell the difference and it cost
lots of money. I don’t think any thought was given to my 3 tracks in order either. Unfortunately,
all I could do was look at the gear as I had no idea what I wanted. These days, I would be very
sure about the sound. Anyway, my demo got me what I wanted in the end!
Oh...beyond the colour and tone, fab filter can do all this now!
This proves Warren was once young !
Haha 5 years ago! Haha
@@Producelikeapro I thought it was Shawn Mendez ?
wow that gear is impressive
dang, that Maselec MTC-1X is incredible! fully loaded!
(Two Notes Torpedo Studio rack). It's always good to share ideas with others as we are all in this together. I learned that from you lol. Anyway, I have many many tube guitar amps as you might remember. Everything from Marshalls to bogglers and Jim Kelly's. But from that point I need to learn the best ways to mic an amp cab and the R121 and a 57 seems to do the trick usually for me (and everyone else lol). However I have had the need for silent recording and have used and purchased the Mesa Cab Clone then I went to the Palmer 4 and finely I found one that not only works but FAR exceeds the rest and its Two Note's Torpedo Studio model. It is a gold find. Best thing since the Dynamount Mic Stand. If you don't have one, I know you are going to love it...even purists like myself love it. So far I have used my Bogner XTC 2 and my Vox 30 through it and WOW!!! Love your work Warren. Now I can get on to some real recording..:)
Practically, a collection of different High end EQs and Compressors. In the very end he makes his point.
Hi +George Mitsikas Yes amazing gear indeed! Thanks very much I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Wow. A few too many EQ's and compressors for me. I wouldn't know which knob to grab first. Power to you.
Hi +Joe Yannece Haha I hear you!! Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Verrry nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
Lov it.
Hi +Sven Horlemann Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Pretty sweet facility
ANALOGUE WILL NEVER DIE
I'd love to master on this gear!
Brilliant video, I have been wondering about software vs hardware these days, digital vs analogue, in a way you could say it is like spirit vs body, perhaps running the song through hardware, humanizes the song a bit, giving the spirit a body, making it live.
Hi Paul, thanks for the great question! I know many great Mastering Engineers who work in Analog and many who stay in Digital! The guy behind the gear is definitely the most important thing! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
The wizard behind the curtain.
Wo a million Dollar Mastering Studio...You send your music there you know it's coming out Good sounding.
Right.
Vari MU - “poor man’s fairchild” great 😁
Awesome video. Great points about auditioning at the end too. How many times have we all had to start over from scratch? In a pipe dream we'd have a one-plugin-for-all. lol
Warren, your hair has grown back quickly, hahaha! Thanks for the great video, very interesting! Maor has the Neumann KH310 monitors, which I mentioned/recommended to you a couple of weeks ago (I have the smaller KH120s) - did you have a chance to listen to them while you were there?
If Maor reads this: I noticed the amp for the PMC speakers is standing on IsoAcoustics monitor stands - why is that? It's also the first time I saw two Recoil stabilizers on top of each other under a monitor :) Many thanks, David
Hi +David Mood Haha yes I filmed Pre Haircut! Haha. Yes Maor Rocks! So generous of hm to take the time to show us around his studio! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
GOOD MAN.
I almost skipped this video. It was nice to hear the his examples.
Hi +Kevin St Croix Wonderful! Glad you didn't! Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Thanks a lot Warren. I have learned a lot from you :) I wish I could send you my stuff to have your opinion… You know very well that in this art (as any other) making up your mind is a bit of a pain in the ass sometimes. And would be just lovely to have an external opinion to enhance you objectivity. Thanks a lot!
Hi +Camilo Oyarzún Thanks for the great comment! I'm thinking about setting up somewhere songs could be submitted for listening! Have a marvelous time recording! Many thanks Warren
So many nice EQ's here.
Agreed! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
