Great Video Barry!

I think Thunderbolt will go the way of Firewire someday.....be replaced with something else. Hmmmm...maybe USB 4.0 or 5.0?

Gorgeous woodworks

Am using the Motu 828

SM Pro audio way long ago had such separate units, but nobody was a dealer for SM Pro audio state side.

This is a great idea. Looking for some specs on the SW page or Arturia page and not finding it. Specifically input levels on the IN unit, like, can I crank my mic pre where it really needs to be +19db, or what is the latency spec on the converter. Like the rme stuff say .1ms vs and apollo at say 1ms. I'm surprised they don't show those specs. The woodworking stuff is super cool!

Virtual instruments eat Apple Silicon alive. Then you're glad you have DSP for your effects.

Will the X8 Out work as a headphone amp?

Still love your channel and approach, Barry! 🙏🏻

So good, as long as the cost is not outrageous.

Drum mic’ing shootout: Barry Johns vs Glyn Johns! 😂 j/k

Hey Barry can we have the link to that spinning table thingy you got there?

Question can you daisy chain them? Say I get 2 X8 INS, well I only see ADAT outs on the unit.. Am I missing something here?

Holy shit! I have the Audiofuse Studio, and I just added the 16Rig some months ago. Now I can add those additional outs! 🎉 I was just complaining to a friend about those old Aphex 141 units not being available anymore, and not being sure if I can trust buying a used one. Problem SOLVED! 😁

How would using an Arturia AudioFuse X8 in differ from say using an ART MX822 Stereo Rackmount mixer? I recently purchased an Arturia 16rig and an MioXL. I am currently waiting for Sweetwater to get a shipment of the MX822’s in on back order. However, perhaps I should wait for the X8 in?

Thank you for teaching me what you know. I love your authenticity and sincerity.

Curious obsession is my thing. Pure childish brute force is my magic. Steady pressure over the course of time moves mountains. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion… ❤️

interesting idea

I have the Black Lion Audio - Revolution EXP, which is ADAT to 8 in/8out for about $799. Works great and has the better clocking ability. I love that other firms are coming out with functional gear.

Spot on assessment 😀

When are these coming out? Can't see them anywhere

Would be handy for the audient Oria... was thinking about the SSL Pure Drive preamps for just ADAT ins but it doesn't quite fit the budget

Did you test it with totalmixfx?

Barry, I always love your videos. You're knowledgeable, informative, skilled, and interesting. I am very much like you. Been around a while in terms of age and have been in this space since my early teens. I thoroughly enjoy your channel. Thanks for the great work and content.

Liked also the "Ring preserver" preset for Snare. With some of the other presets the snare went completely silent occasionally on non-triggered blast beats recorded with SM57.

Spot on Barry, and encouraging! I’ve always said if you want to excel at anything your first requirement is “passion”. And where’s the 1-800 NUMBER? 🤣

Awesomeness ❤

Never be as smart as Barry,s awesome

Barry right on Brother feel exactly the same❤ way

A two cents : I don't think the problem is with the musicians, because there are plenty very good keyboardists, bassists, guitarists, etc, around. I think it's that somehow the industry has formularized everything. You reference the Rolling Stones, and The Beatles, but those guys wrote a variety of styles, and experimented with a variety of chords, subjects, and key modulation. Today, it seems that there are actually policies regarding the chord structure of songs, and surveys and polls about what songs the listeners will listen to. In short, nothing seems to be in favor of freedom in songwriting. I hope I'm wrong, but this is the way it seems to me. I don't think it's about the skill or lack thereof, of the musicians, but the song quality. The people who don't seem to realize that the music of Beethoven, Bach, Chopin, and Mozart, has survived for centuries, are the same ones who claim the music of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, is old, and they are the ones who are feeding us the crap we hear today. They are the gatekeepers of popular music. They destroyed the concepts of signing artists for longer terms, trusting artists with their creativity, and true artistic development. If it goes on like this, THEY will probably tell artists to write songs with certain specific chord structures, and keys. Or maybe the geniuses will distill their, "golden formula", down one chord per song. Not just, "Write a song in the key of D", but, write a song using just one chord.

All that said I don’t want to spend more than $3000 total I have the drums I have the mics I do not have the doll computer or interface

If you were a drummer and you want to record yourself in the basement, what would you use?

OK put another way. I am a newbie at recording I research the audience auto gain. I am a drummer that just wants to do tracking in his basement. I do not have a computer. What do you recommend? Everybody says get a Mac I want to be able to record drum tracks and email them back-and-forth, give me some guidelines please

OK, then put your money where your mouth is. How do I build a computer so I can record my drums on an audient eight channel interface I want to use pro logic daw and is a Homebuilt one better than just getting a Mac, which is what everybody tells me to do

Thank You! Very good explanation!

Thanks!

It's all you can do really... otherwise you're just a sales person rather than someone passing on the ability to learn and do

I was basically born in a studio! My dad took my brother and I to rehearsals and recording sessions when we were babies. Pure luck!!

What I want to know Barry is what you're rocking for listening to music, what kind of stereo equipment are you using, etc. Are you a turntable guy or a deck guy?

I just picked up a universal audio arrow for $200 mint condition. Now I gotta buy a 2015 MacBook pro 🤣🤣🤣

Yes! So True! Thx Barry

Where can we hear some of your recordings?

From SM57 perspective, a microphone of course. After already having a $300-500 microphone, no need to update, probably ever. Update your room and fix the acoustics, this brings something real. I have U87 and NT1, I could easily use them both takes on the same song without anyone noticing it, or even I knowing where the cuts were after a week of doing something else. After you already have a $300-500 microphone, it is not the microphone, it is the talent, or the room, or the lack of knowledge.

I really enjoy your videos, Barry.

I was recording my songs on a Panasonic RX-CS700 when I was like 6-7 years old. I've been doing this practically my entire life.

Acknowledged & Appreciated.

I'm starting to HATE total mix. It's overly complicated and not "intuitive" at all. Sounds good, very capable but you waste to much time figuring things out especially when adding new gear.

I'd like to hear you discuss some ongoing challenges. For me, I am concerned about my ears as I age. Do you think about that? Sometimes I just want to tune out all the horrible noises in my environment (work, in public). I'm starting to think church is too loud. Do you think trying to mix music makes a person less tolerant of harsh sounds, or am I just getting old? Keep up the good work.

This entire video is so useful not only for our music careers but just in life in general. Thank you, Uncle Barry, for your wisdom and your kind words. Keep doing what you’re doing because you’re doing it right. Can’t wait for the furniture!

Nailed it !!
