Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “MY NEW MUSIC SETUP”.
( catchy hypnotic melody ), What’s up guys, Lou here. Back with another video. Except today it is something completely different. Now I know I’ve said that before, but this time you can really tell it’s different because we’re not in the normal environment.. This is a different room.
That’S in the Unbox Therapy Headquarters and as you can tell it, has now recently been dedicated to the idea of music production. I’ve been into music for a very long time.. I used to actually have a little amateur studio in a converted school portable., I’m getting back into it now, and I’ve been experimenting with some of the new equipment. That’S available. And absolutely loving it.. So I figured I might as well share with you guys how this setup works what’s in it and then also, if you guys wan na hear some of how I’ve been using it.
I have a new channel where I’ve been recording some of it., So you can check that out. I’ll link it in the description, but this video is just sort of about explaining the different stuff and how I use it.. So I guess we’ll start over there.. Some various headphones, some wireless ones, some wired ones, kinda a key component in any music set up.
You’re gon na – have to have some headphones.. This is the Roli Seaboard RISE and it’s like a new take on a MIDI keyboard., Although it’s not really even a keyboard.. It’S soft to the touch and sensitive look at this. ( electronic noises ).
It almost plays more like a stringed instrument than it does a keyboard, but it got me to thinking like since we are triggering in the MIDI world such wide variety of instruments. Why is the keyboard model stayed the same? Maybe there’s space for something like this.. It works as a regular MIDI keyboard or it works with their own software Equator for RISE.. They make a bigger version of this too..
It’S not cheap.. That’S an issue for a lot of people.. This is about eight hundred bucks. ( low vibrating tones ), Really interesting.. I’Ve got a microphone over here, Shure BETA 58.. You can here a little bit more fidelity in my voice, right now.. This is the RC 505 Boss Roland as I’ve said before.. You see five tracks here dedicated to a loop on each..
This is the kind of thing I had always wanted when I originally started with music. Tactile, quick ways to sketch out your thoughts, whether that’s beatbox or otherwise., Two one … (, catchy hypnotic melody, ), Yeah. Yeah.. All right.
I can’t give you guys too much.. I’Ve also got a little mixer over here, just a little Mackie mixer.. The reason I’m using this right now, I’m sending the outs from this guy into here, so that I can then send that out to these studio monitors, while still maintaining a record out for the Shogun over here. Shogun’s. Basically, a monitor and recorder ProRes video.
Speakers, these guys., These sound fantastic. I’ve got ta, be completely honest with you guys lots of low end at a HS eight.. The eight stands for the eight inch woofer. The amps are built in, so you don’t need any kind of separate amplification and the amps are paired to the actual speakers. So you know you’re getting the right kind of cohesion there..
This is the Apollo Twin from Universal Audio, and this is my audio interface of choice.. This thing can pretend to be all kinds of classic pre-amps that people in the music business get all excited about.. It can do it in a very small package.. This is probably looking strange to you.. This is ring light. that I built. They switch colors.
Ooh red green blue. Yeah. What can I say? I couldn’t find the product that I was looking for. A nice LED multicolor ring light, so I just made it. There’s a GH4 over there with a wide-angle lens for capturing everything. That wooden keyboard. You saw in a previous video Just because you know I’m trying to get with those natural vibes.. On the other side of me here, Komplete Kontrol S49.
– This is a more traditional MIDI keyboard and what’s cool about this is that it integrates really well with Native Instruments Komplete, which is a set of sounds and essentially giving the ability to trigger these pre-recorded instruments that Have been recorded in optimal environments, so you wan na grand piano, you got a grand piano., You want some percussion, you got percussion.. This is all powered just by my Mac Book Pro currently., One more cool thing. This little guy here is a remote control for the power outlet on the wall., And when you have this much gear plugged in, are you really going to go hit the power switch on each one, So I’ll put the computer to sleep and then just hit the Off switch and turn the entire powerbar off and everything goes out.. I suppose I forgot one more thing.
The microphone over there in our little homemade booth. It is a SM, seven B from Shure. Great dynamic mic, especially for untreated spaces.. If you got ta use it in a not perfect environment, gon na do a little bit than a condenser microphone in a similar space..
All of these cool things will be linked down below. As I said, before.. I hope you guys enjoyed this video little bit different, but something I’ve been working on, so I really just wanted to share it with you guys. It’s a it’s too cool not to and if you’re feeling it and you’re into this kind of stuff you can head Over to my second channel., As I said before, I’ll put a link in the description. And see some of the stuff I’ve been working on. Again, it’s something I’ve been into in the past, and kinda fell off, got really busy with what’s going on with Unbox Therapy. Decided to jump back in and it’s been liberating. As liberating as a deep breath.
So let’s do it together. Deep breath., (, inhales, deeply and exhales ) And that’s another video. Good, bye, folks., (, catchy hypnotic melody, ) .
