He's hitting/playing all these keyboards and talking about how great they sound... and the mixer or amp aren't up/on. It's like a Nigel Tufnel moment... Andy: "just listen to that sound !!" Me: "I don't hear anything" Andy: "well.. you would if it were on"
A great insight in the studio and Andy's workflow process ..also a big thank you to all inc the lady behind the camera. what was the name of the free ipad app
I have watched a few of these now and love them. My only problem is there is always a lot of "this" and "that" when referencing gear but no one states exactly what "this" or "that" actually is and you are left to try and interpret the item from afar. I'd appreciate it if you could consciously try to let us know in future videos? Keep up the great work!
They literally tell you the mic, and the technique for much of their gear. The actual gear doesn’t really matter especially when you can hear any of what they’re doing anyways, you don’t even know if it’s good
hello mate , mainly site a master keyboard these days , playing / Programming Orchestral stuff .. but maybe years ago , Guitar in a couple of bands . and Drums as a kid . as I only really do music to picture my main instrument is a computer as most computers . I have a new video coming so , of my new studio so you can all see what I am unto :) Best Andy
like this series a lot! Andy, if you are reading this, you should really give Cubase a try. Track Management is amazing - especially for a large count of track numbers. Have been a Logic User for almost 10 years and made the switch two years ago.
tiscover I'm just about to get my studio set up again. I was thinking of dumping Logic (aka illogic!) for Cubase. Think I might just do that now. Cheers!
Damo Diggler Audiofinder doesn’t seem to have a dedicated iPad app from what I can tell. The free iPad app is something else I think. I’d like to know what that is. Totally just bought audiofinder though. I’ve been using audioease Snapper for years but I’m hoping audiofinder will be even better. Snapper has served well over the years but audiofinder is looking like a step up. Still would like to know what the iPad app is that’s clocking everything on his Macs. That looks like a real time saver.
What a really sound interview and hats off to you guys for taking us into these spaces for an honest look inside the can, as it were, at the process, chaos and set ups that different creators use to get those ideas out. The ever evolving journey, that we’re all on is fascinating, at whatever stage and in whatever genre. 👍 Ps know this is 5 years ago but, have found the Apollo twin x quad a great way to have volume control, etc whilst stacking the DSP and keeping the desktop spaces as clear as possible to fit our most needed bits within arms reach as we grow.
It would help if you listed the equipment or APP, there is a lot of good info here but only mention 'this is a great app' What is the name ??? same with the Microphone at the start. ' love this Mike from #$#, what is it? and what model is it?? I would like the info. tks.
I always tell myself I'm probably not gonna finish these hour long episodes in one sitting since I was planning to do something else.... 8 episodes and half a day later I'm picking my jaw off the floor from all this gear porn. And most of these guys seem like awesome people too!
At 20.20 he talks about the Blackmagic and his drives but I don't understand how this works. I've just upgraded my set up by setting two 2tb ssds and on raid 0 in a Blackmagic multi dock. This has made the speed of this around 700mbps and is solely for Kontakt libraries and I have used around 1tb. my iMac is a i7 4.1 GHz processor, quad-core and has 32gb of ram. This should be able to handle Kontakt and projects of at least 100 tracks BUT even when setting up template sessions of around 200 tracks, with all samples purged, it crashes constantly. (these sessions are not to compose in but to drag in Kontakt patches set up for workflow. Anyone have any suggestions on how I can improve performance? Thanks in advance!
Great vid chaps - thank you! Didn't quite catch the make of the hot swappable drive bays above the Apollo. I think one of you said it quickly. Can you let me know pls? Cheers.
Of course theres the LUST factor boiling up inside......but it would be nice if he said THIS JUPITER 4....or The Avid S3 Controller is great for logic and protools. i had not seen the S3. so i had NO IDEA what it was. but it was nice to get a peek into his CRIB.
Yes you could, but you wouldn't hear it... you can only hear audio details with good audio gear... we think we hear stuff until we are confronted with audio comming from GREAT speakers, great clock and great channels... it's a life changing experience...
How is the performance of that touchscreen? It looks decent, is there any lag of any kind? I have an iPad I'm using as an additional screen but the touch aspect has significant lag. Can you do realtime fades etc? (ie. not just drawing automation). Thanks! Felix
The only thing I don't like about this series is that I didn't know it existed until now! I'm about to binge. It's helping me with my huge studio purcase I'm about to do.
30:56 I have an apollo 8 and wonder about using a little duo as a monitor controller. Would also expand virtual inputs which I use sometimes for music. Anyone else?
Looking to add a touch screen monitor to my workflow. What model dell is he using here? Want to make sure I can get the proper drivers before making purchase.
great studio and great video!! :D I wonder if you (Andy) know that Logic have a app called ''Logic Remote''? It is free and have a lot of great features. All the best Rune
An introduction to the artist and their work in beginning of the episode would be awesome :) I don´t actually know who half of these people are and start to google.
How does that 'spot to stack work' ? I use audiofinder and spotting to Logic just chucks whatever file/selection I'm working on to the playhead. This seemed to spot multiple files, in the correct order, to their respective smpte locations... Is it something you've set up in Quadro? Great timesaver!
Yeah it must be based on how he is titling his files I'd imagine. Most composers are including timecode in the filename anyways... what's amazing to me is that it knows how to throw it into his pre-created stacks rather than just creating new tracks, etc.
that's the problem, very few people can be good all aspects of music production, other wise they wouldn't have titles for each step of the way. Costumers that except you to fill all these positions and give a finish product for little money are not good costumers. you need something, mix, master, and composed, you're getting billed for each one, but it's who agreed to do all this work at fault also that keep up this expectation of multitasking.
totally love the Spitfire Cribs Series!. keep it up Guys!.
instablaster
Easily my favorite cribs episode, I keep coming back to this when I'm thinking of workflow ideas
true
Only just caught up with this one - Not sure how I missed it, but, Andy Gray; what a top bloke!
Loved this. and the last few mins advice is invaluable.
That was ACE! Some proper tech nerdery and DAW rigging tips.
He's hitting/playing all these keyboards and talking about how great they sound... and the mixer or amp aren't up/on.
It's like a Nigel Tufnel moment...
Andy: "just listen to that sound !!"
Me: "I don't hear anything"
Andy: "well.. you would if it were on"
I was going to make the same point but you sum it up perfectly!!
Excellent DATA share 🎺✨🙏 ... specifically the statement approach it as a business interesting extremely useful data thank you very much
What was that iPad app that launched TH-cam on the Mac etc?
Binge watching the cribs series :D So interesting!
A great insight in the studio and Andy's workflow process ..also a big thank you to all inc the lady behind the camera.
what was the name of the free ipad app
I want to know the name of the app too.
i want to know too please
it is not free, it's only 14 days free... (why am I not surprised?)
What is the name of that app. Why is it a mystery?
Aaron Macri logic remote or logic control

theAPP called " Quadro" !!
OMG! Andy Gray... we need you back into trance. Your remixes are legendary man!
does anyone know the app on the iPad that Andy has his macros programmed on? thanks 🙂
amazing,Andy's studio looks inspiring and functional at the same time... excellent interview
Lovely to see somebody so talented, who is so down to earth and hard working and not a 'businessman'...
pity he don't know how to actually use them,,just hooked up to midi..just for the pre sets..lol..easy money
21:40 That's called a RAID and it's a MUST if you don't want to lose any important data, especially on disks running more or less 24/7!
😲 Aww man! He totally ignored the Korg Z1! That's a really cool classic keyboard!
What instruments does Andy play? Never seen him play anything.
hello mate , mainly site a master keyboard these days , playing / Programming Orchestral stuff .. but maybe years ago , Guitar in a couple of bands . and Drums as a kid . as I only really do music to picture my main instrument is a computer as most computers . I have a new video coming so , of my new studio so you can all see what I am unto :) Best Andy
This guy's a total dude! Super keen about his workflow and set-up after 31 years!
like this series a lot! Andy, if you are reading this, you should really give Cubase a try. Track Management is amazing - especially for a large count of track numbers. Have been a Logic User for almost 10 years and made the switch two years ago.

This video is filled with so much good stuff. Andy has really created something amazing
Andy, what's the name of the free app, and is it iPad compatible. BTW- great interview.
Same question ^^
@@marsoctobremusic1248 I think he had his hands on AudioFinder when he mentioned 'free', but that's definitely not free
Damo Diggler Audiofinder doesn’t seem to have a dedicated iPad app from what I can tell. The free iPad app is something else I think. I’d like to know what that is.

@@Grummycanader did you find it? Would love to know the app
5 years later and we still don’t know what app it is…

RIP STUDIO 💔
I love these - thanks for uploading them!
Gut wrenching to watch after watching the winter warmer
What model dell touchscreen is he using? looks like it works better than the acer t272hl.
Would love you to update these videos with social media links for featured artists. For example would love to follow Andy
It would help if you listed the equipment or APP, there is a lot of good info here but only mention 'this is a great app' What is the name ??? same with the Microphone at the start. ' love this Mike from #$#, what is it? and what model is it?? I would like the info. tks.
Sontronics Halo guitar amplifier microphone
Really interesting. Pretty new to being a full time composer and sound designer so these are really inspiring!
Killer studio area, looks like a converted church. I would love a space like that.
Sounded like Frank Lampard.
lol :)
i love this serie keep it up so much information shared
I always tell myself I'm probably not gonna finish these hour long episodes in one sitting since I was planning to do something else.... 8 episodes and half a day later I'm picking my jaw off the floor from all this gear porn. And most of these guys seem like awesome people too!
Is This The andy grey That Is amoeba assasin That made The massive hit pile driver with steve sacre?
Filming in front of a light source is like Oktoberfest with non alcoholic beer.
hmmm is that a white m-audio V/A synth? hmmmmmmmmmmmm
My RSI went away by adopting a M$ Natural keyboard (the old bulgy version) and a Wacom graphics tablet.
Superb video and what a fantastic setup Andy has. A few Spinal Tap moments thrown in too.
great video! I love the studio set up and soft piano and particularly all those display monitors!
damn... i wish i could afford to look that stoned.. i mean all that equipment
Another very useful video, thanks. Did you change the buffer size between recording and playback?

It's faster because it's two pipes going out. Striping it means 1/2 of the stream goes on one disk, 1/2 on the other.
The weirdest thing is him saying ‘this’ rather than what the synth is
Great talk! What exactly was the function for this "soft piano" i did not get it. Is it a new plugin withing logic? Thanks in advance :)
It's the Hans Zimmer Piano from Spitfire Audio www.spitfireaudio.com/shop/instruments/pianos-and-keys/hans-zimmer-piano/
their felt pianos changed my life...
10K for a Moog Mod - OUCH!
Andy Gray, you are my hero. Love your work...awesome to see doing your thing.
Andy is a lovely guy, got drunk with him lol
Great video but ... A track pad? WTF
Sontronics are great mics
DOOOD!
Great vid chaps - thank you! Didn't quite catch the make of the hot swappable drive bays above the Apollo. I think one of you said it quickly. Can you let me know pls? Cheers.
Tom Ryan think it's the Blackmagic Design SSD Dock
BlackMagic MultiDock 2 w/Thunderbolt B&H Photo carries them as well as Amazon, about $595.00 without SSD Drives
The 'expensive' volume knob is two units, the monitor st and sr here dangerousmusic.com
Spitfire Audio
Autechre @ 14:15
Great Video..What's the name of the ultra wide monitor?
seems It's a dell U3417w Ultrawide 34", not shure
If you guys are ever in Australia, one of these creative cribs with Mick Gordon would be phenomenal.
Yesss
Of course theres the LUST factor boiling up inside......but it would be nice if he said THIS JUPITER 4....or The Avid S3 Controller is great for logic and protools. i had not seen the S3. so i had NO IDEA what it was. but it was nice to get a peek into his CRIB.
I'm guessing you could do what he's done here with a couple of grand. These guys go over the top.
Yes you could, but you wouldn't hear it... you can only hear audio details with good audio gear... we think we hear stuff until we are confronted with audio comming from GREAT speakers, great clock and great channels... it's a life changing experience...
what's the band he mentioned at 14:14 ?
Can some one explain, if Andy is using the Apollo as an interface, is the S3 just used as a control surface?
What’s the name of the TV show he was scoring?
I love the organic vibe around here
thx for the great video!
How is the performance of that touchscreen? It looks decent, is there any lag of any kind? I have an iPad I'm using as an additional screen but the touch aspect has significant lag. Can you do realtime fades etc? (ie. not just drawing automation). Thanks! Felix
how much of that has now been destroyed in the fire? such a shame
The only thing I don't like about this series is that I didn't know it existed until now! I'm about to binge. It's helping me with my huge studio purcase I'm about to do.
Question! If you are using the Apollo interfaces as soundcards, are you using the S3 as just a DAW controller?
30:56 I have an apollo 8 and wonder about using a little duo as a monitor controller. Would also expand virtual inputs which I use sometimes for music. Anyone else?
Incredible hardware (drool*), but I mean come on, modify that legendary synth with some silent Noctua 12v fans.
Looking to add a touch screen monitor to my workflow. What model dell is he using here? Want to make sure I can get the proper drivers before making purchase.
Can someone explain a bit more about that Roland keyboard...really from a System 700?
Instead of linking 2 external SSD's use an M2 blade like the Samsung 950 pro or better....
great studio and great video!! :D I wonder if you (Andy) know that Logic have a app called ''Logic Remote''? It is free and have a lot of great features.
All the best
Rune
someone should tell Andy about Slate Raven mti2 monitors... seems like he would really benefit from a dual raven system...
really informative...great work of wisdom esp at the end regarding the business side of things
do those amps go to 11? do they? can you touch any of this equipment?
Excellent documentary... Loved the Gary Numan bit too, and the vintage synths.
Does anybody happen to know what the free app he is using on his iPad is?
An introduction to the artist and their work in beginning of the episode would be awesome :) I don´t actually know who half of these people are and start to google.
I was hoping he would talk about the M-Audio Venom and tell me something magical about it that I missed on mine so I could dust it off and plug it in.
Loved that one! A very insightful Cribs episode there :) Would really like to know what the app is though ;)
How does that 'spot to stack work' ? I use audiofinder and spotting to Logic just chucks whatever file/selection I'm working on to the playhead. This seemed to spot multiple files, in the correct order, to their respective smpte locations... Is it something you've set up in Quadro? Great timesaver!

I like this even more than MTV Cribs... what an amazing space to be in
that's the problem, very few people can be good all aspects of music production, other wise they wouldn't have titles for each step of the way. Costumers that except you to fill all these positions and give a finish product for little money are not good costumers. you need something, mix, master, and composed, you're getting billed for each one, but it's who agreed to do all this work at fault also that keep up this expectation of multitasking.
At what point will too much tech be too much for music production?
I love the question you ask at the end of these videos
What, touch screen with Logic?
Dammit. I clicked on this because I thought it said "Angry Gray Crabs". This is just a video about a bunch of gear I'll never be able to own.
Wait. What is "One note polyphonic"?
What iPad app is he talking about at 41:42?
OMG, where is this studio... in a stable ?? ...You should clean those walls...
Cause if it sound as good it makes what is coming sound better and easier
That is how like to work I do every thing to sound good from the beginning
Cool setup
Makes me love my Logic even more , very cool video! thanks for this!
What is the free app you talked about? Thx.
Who is. He ...?
he wrote the theme to big brother with paul okenfold
Can’t believe I’ve not seen this before ,excellent!
All that shit and not one fucking note played.
Guessing you didn't watch the entire video.
40 minutes in
correct not one note arseholes.
C Dorma Nice copypasta from the other video lol
Usually these people suck! All about sells
