8:03
good for them give yeah kill it good for them let's talk we'll talk more about it we'll do on the infocom episode we'll
8:10
we'll get we'll get deep into it yeah it's an experience right so uh so today
8:16
we're going to go over it's a little bit of a blast from the past yeah uh just random this one so just for the for all
8:23
of our viewers uh I'm in the process of like trying to get some really good video and pictures of some of these
8:29
really big kind of really cool projects that we've done um I've got pictures and
8:34
stuff I just want to like I want to be able to present it nicely and so we're kind of holding off on some of these bigger ones just so that I can get like
8:40
some cool video and picks so today is just kind of a random one but we found
8:45
you know one of our early early projects which was awesome y um and it it turned
8:52
out great and we can get into it here in a second um but we're gonna be going over Inspiration Academy
9:00
um updog Studios post Production Studio yeah so we built a post-production
9:08
control room audio video editing room uh it's a
9:14
7.2 surround sound editing Suite Y and it was awesome uh so we're going to get
9:20
into that here in a minute um but before that like And subscribe tell all your

9:38
jump into a word from our sponsor our beautiful sponsor Crown care
9:44
coming your way AVL systems are great when they work and a nightmare when they don't well we've come up with a solution
9:51
for when they don't Crown care is our subscription-based service program where you get 24/7 support 24/7 critical
9:59
system monitoring and a host of other goodies if you're interested in Crown care please give us a call or contact us
10:05
through our
10:14
website all right and we're back thank you so much Crown care once again save the day again faithful sponsor we were
10:22
uh chatting with one of our clients this week cuz they were kind of reviewing their budgets for the next year and they
10:28
were looking at at Crown care so they wanted to kind of connect with us and say hey we've had Crown care for this long we just want to see what's going on
10:35
and they wanted some metrics as to how often they used how much they were using it yeah because obviously you know
10:41
people people assume it's just kind of like an insurance policy that they never use right which I mean hopefully you
10:47
don't have to use it hopefully you don't hopefully your equipment keeps going and nothing bad happens but we're there in case it goes wrong right but how many
10:54
times did our one client and how many months so they had been in since December this client had been in since
11:00
December so it's been almost six or it been six months six months they had generated 128 tickets right and they
11:09
were wondering if they were like utilizing it and taking advantage of everything um so we kind of went over
11:15
that and make sure they understood you know all all the features they have with it and then they were just kind of
11:21
wondering if they were actually using it enough you know that it made that it made sense for them right um so yeah
11:27
like 128 tickets it was you know that's like 20 tickets a month that's crazy um
11:33
and they were using it uh probably two to three times a month on Sunday mornings which is the big one right yeah
11:41
um so yeah it was it was kind of a good I mean it's a pretty good exercise just to kind of go through it and see it and
11:49
and then present that and show it to them right um so yeah it's it seems to be doing what it's supposed to be doing
11:56
now some of those tickets are um kind of emergency tickets that file when your
12:02
when their Network may go offline in the middle of the night and they don't even know about it we get a ticket and they don't even know about it but we we
12:08
monitor it and fix whatever we need to and they might not even know so some of it was that um but yeah it was it's
12:14
still it's a it was a ticket and it was worthy of being checked out right because you never know anytime there's a
12:20
ticket something H something triggered that thing so something went down hopefully it was just power outage but
12:25
guess what we get the ticket right we look it up we look at in real time every piece of equipment every critical piece
12:32
in the whole system make sure that everything's running and so if it happens in the middle of night we look at it we we make sure it's going and
12:38
then we will connect with you and make sure that you know you're all good it's all working on site yeah yeah so so yeah
12:44
it was there you go good exercise good proof of concept I mean it was good for them to see it as well proof is in the
12:50
pudding yep Crown care killing it making it happen okay all right so today we are
12:57
going through like I said Inspiration Academy which is a school uh kind of
13:02
like a it's a private school sports kind of a private they did Sports they did um
13:09
they did production production stuff they did like uh video like movie stuff like that kind of that kind of stuff
13:15
yeah they had a they had an actual like movie production company that was kind of partnered with right with the academy
13:22
as well right and that's kind of how we got how do we get involved do you remember yeah so again relationships
13:29
right because of because of relationships that we had in the past that relationship goes way back uh
13:36
Ryan bod Bodie Bodie what's up Ryan shout out Ryan bod back in the B our
13:42
band days early on before before we were doing anything real um we shot music
13:50
videos with bod our band and so I had known him for a long time um and he had
13:57
just helped us out when we were we were young and doing video stuff he ended up kind of on staff there I think at that
14:04
school or he was partnered with them with this video production at the beginning I think they acquired his company okay that's what I think
14:10
happened so somehow he was tied into this well they had been working on movies they had done a couple movies
14:17
right they did um Bodie bod did yes click clack Jack I think yep and then
14:23
they did um ragam muffin that's right the the
14:29
worship Pastor dud I can't remember the guy's name Rich Mullen mull Rich Mullins yeah yeah that movie so they did that
14:35
that's right yeah and at that time it was a h it was a happening thing they were they were filming they were doing
14:41
all this stuff and they had the school going and so they're like hey we need we need a place to like edit this stuff and
14:47
we can heck we have a program here let's teach the kids let's do all these things that's right it's going to be like a
14:53
double usage thing right keep on trying to do these kind of Christian faith-based films mhm short stories
14:59
short films and stuff like that and then yeah the kid the the kids at the school are going to be able to use this
15:06
legit Studio this production uh room to learn it learn the technology learn how
15:12
to edit and that kind of thing so they looked into doing a studio like
15:17
that and didn't even know who to call or what and because uh just the connect I
15:24
guess Ryan called or B called us right and said hey you guys do Studio stuff
15:29
and we're like sure we do do Studio stuff I build a studio every week what are you talking about
15:34
non-stop um so we had a bunch of meetings with them mhm this was early on for us yeah I remember having those
15:41
early meetings like so what do you want to do you want to do a a post- production suite and then like the the real question was like how legit do you
15:48
want this right because the way they were talking was they want to continue to do these movies which weren't giant
15:55
movies but they were like I mean real kind of they were real movies yeah you know budgets and you know they were in
16:03
like Select theaters and stuff like it was right so they wanted to do something legit and uh yeah it was uh I remember
16:12
well the first conversations were like what do we need like a couple Bose speakers or something like that I'm like
16:17
okay wait one second right so we're talking like Studio editing right like something you're going to use for your
16:23
movies and everything right and they're like yeah like okay well I think you're in a different world you're not you're
16:29
not in the Bose world we got to get you into a different world yeah Pro level prograde stuff they didn't know what
16:35
that meant right and so we came to the rescue crown came to the rescue they
16:41
knew they wanted something but they just yeah didn't really understand what that meant and so through a number of
16:47
meetings we kept putting stuff together and right they wanted they wanted to use
16:53
Pro Tools they wanted a desk they wanted the room to be acoustically sound y they
16:59
wanted uh I forget what kind of monitoring they wanted but they wanted to be legit I I don't know if we
17:06
probably sold them on the 7.2 likey if you're ever going to mix like that like you're you're ready to go right they wanted um they wanted 4K editing that
17:15
was a thing was a big thing this didn't exist then I mean it existed but barely and it was crazy expensive to do that
17:22
stuff yeah we we'll show you we'll show you all probably the most expensive 4K TV ever bought I remember buying I mean
17:28
it was it was before 4K it was essentially before 4K yeah actually the first time I
17:33
saw 4K was at infocom is that kind of funny and I remember seeing it but the the 4K displays at the time were only
17:39
like this big but even then looking at it it looked like looking into a little window like if it looked so much better
17:45
tell you were like all right this is a good this is a good Innovation here this is worth it obviously it took over the world now we're doing it we're doing 4K
17:52
y so so yeah so we got connected with the school got connected with bod
17:59
uh chatted through some stuff and we started to design it and we're like yeah we got this whole they gave us a room so they had a room in mind y uh we had the
18:06
dimensions and we're like okay here we go let's create a a post- production
18:12
edit Suite yep uh I've got some pictures yeah and some video one thing is how
18:17
crazy this job came to not happening yeah what's that it
18:23
got well we got deep into the design quotes make these relationships with
18:29
like buying these speakers all this stuff that happened mhm and then it came down to like money had money had to be
18:36
moved money had to be exchanged to start buying stuff and oh we didn't do this one for free right this was not a
18:42
freebie all of a sudden the money was real and it we we didn't just pay for all this out of our own Pockets just for
18:48
fun just for the just to have the pictures for the clout oh these pictures are worth it trust me um but I remember the just in the
18:56
over the last couple days talking to bod he wasn't sure it was going to go through all right let's get into that
19:01
after wasn't sure yeah at the end it happened though more coming people all right so let's let's take a
19:08
look here I've got some install picks um and then we can kind of go through and discuss the the uh the equipment we used
19:16
honestly uh it it turn turned out awesome so yeah this is nuts this was awesome really really good all right
19:24
cool all right well here we go so this is uh in the room that's an old School
19:29
pck Stitch right there pck Stitch there it is heck yeah dude totally forgot about that I just
19:34
saw that picture I still got it um so yeah this is in the room after they painted and we're kind of doing cabling
19:40
and I don't know this was early social media what was this on MySpace this was early social media I mean yep here some
19:48
speakers so these are genx um these are what what what mods are these I think they're 804s right 804s yeah for those
19:56
little guys I love I love genx speakers man oh 850s
20:01
850s I love these speakers I love them
20:08
and every Studio I've ever been to that has Gen X it's just like it it makes it
20:14
happen it sounds amazing and the setup that we did in this room PR crazy was so
20:20
good yeah so these these sound so they sound uh like accurate but not but still
20:28
Musical if that makes sense so you can still definitely reference with it so
20:33
when you're mixing you're hearing all the things that you need to change you're not being colored by it but it
20:39
still doesn't have like you know the the the famous ns10 you know the harsh the
20:45
harshness of an ns10 like those speakers don't sound like any other speaker out there these sound more like musical like
20:52
if you're in an a I don't know I don't know how to say it but they sound a little bit more musical to my ear at least so that you can enjoy while you're
20:59
while you're listening in reference y but you don't feel like you hate your life like an ns10 makes you feel like
21:04
you hate your life I get it you got to make it sound good with those speakers I get that but even when you make it sound
21:10
good like you can listen to an amazing track on an ns10 you're like well it actually doesn't sound like great and
21:16
the mixture of speakers we had in this room probably really helped with that too our main our main fronts were were
21:22
bigger speakers right yeah so here yeah so here are these speakers so what do we
21:27
we used oh my goodness so yeah those speakers we used for disregard let me just get in here
21:35
real quick the uh oh my goodness it's like a
21:42
character yeah we were listening to this video that I I did it's actually on our YouTube channel the video that we did
21:47
for this and my voice changed too I don't know if it's all the smoking and drinking right probably not but um those
21:56
speakers we used for the sides and for the rears right is that
22:03
what we use those for and for the near Fields correct yep so those are the six yeah yep so those those 850s we use for
22:11
the sides the rears and the and the near fields on the desk yep so here they're in the constructions uh stage so they
22:17
had all that um all that conduit below there that we're supposed to use for I mean it was a bit of a mess honestly but
22:24
we were working with their their Builders and I think they're all in-house Builders so we're like all all right thanks for that conduit and it's
22:30
like it's like a snake whatever they call that MC yeah whatever it worked it
22:36
worked um this is behind the speakers this had we had like a a a relay on it
22:41
so it could turn the power on and off um this is old school man yeah we mounted like a mounting board to the wall it
22:48
looked nice behind the speaker had like a black border yeah then we put that fman that was Ferman was for control as
22:55
well for power the power on for sequence yeah mhm there it is and they obviously
23:01
painted after this looked a lot better after it was painted right oh my goodness here I am again
23:07
fronts yeah what are these puppies those were the Tim 38 [Music]
23:12
CF that's a I'm not even I'm not even looking at the speaker I'm looking into
23:20
into the ghost of past Garrett Walker that's me by the way yeah 1038 CF
23:27
is what that speaker is that was me young and uh you know I mean what is the date on this full of life as a young AVL
23:34
integrator this is 2014 2014 this is 10 years wow this is 10 years ago crazy I
23:42
haven't changed a bit that's what 10 years will do to you that's what 10 years of AVL will do to
23:49
you um yeah here's some other pictures of that's the that's an Argy console yep
23:55
uh huge awesome yeah big console
24:00
right okay so this all right so this is a controller so they wanted to they
24:06
wanted a desk to be able to mix with which I love that's that's the way I you want TCT you know yeah the mouse
24:13
whatever I mean it works automation but to get your like get your hands and like elbows on stuff like you're using
24:19
different feet getting things going I mean that's that's that's a way to get a good mix analog baby but this is not
24:24
analog this is digital so this was Protools the S6 S6 console they're live
24:31
brand new it was brand new when it came out once again like I don't know why we always do this to ourselves but I feel like it's always like we were the first
24:38
ones in these states to like get something I feel like we were one of the first in this again um yeah it's called
24:45
being a Trailblazer it's what we are we seem to do it a lot heck yeah let's keep I
24:51
remember at this time in our young careers we ordered the we ordered this
24:58
and then it showed up on a pallet like that yeah and we were like wait what yeah it was in pieces uh where's the
25:04
console Avid yeah uh it's in a million pieces bro that thing had to be built
25:10
man piece by piece guts by guts inside every card every there it is I mean yeah
25:17
so the chassis it it took us probably two or three days to build it yeah and we thought we were just going to set it
25:22
in place run a network cable to it and be like cool let's start mixing nope you
25:27
got the ch you got to build you got to put all the modules in it is built out
25:33
of cart so you can build it out whatever size you want so you see these a lot in big post- Production Studios and they'll
25:40
have a desk that's huge 20t long yeah as long as they have three or four Engineers on one of them's doing like uh
25:48
automation for folley you know one of them's doing like the dialogue one of them is doing the score and they're all
25:54
just like across this huge massive uh a huge massive Mouse that's all it is it's
26:00
controlling Pro Tools the the program but it's just a massive Mouse yep so that's the chassis that was a headache
26:06
dude I remember we got uh my brother in we got Deon to help us yeah like dude hey come on help help us out for a bit
26:14
yeah we weren't expecting the the assembly at least at at this extent look
26:19
at the DeWalt tools in the back DeWalt hit us up man we've been we've been DeWalt users for years we need a we need
26:25
a sponsorship should unbelievable you know how much makito mako's on our heels
26:30
trying to get us to to use their tools every day and here we are being being strong for you dealt you do nothing for
26:38
us makito for Life maybe I don't know all right so yeah acoustical panels
26:43
we kind of did a cool little design in here yep um yeah those are them yeah we did those
26:51
Bas traps Bas traps yep oh remember the
26:56
the trash can oh what they call call it yeah that Mac or that yeah that was a Mac uh they call it I think what it was
27:03
called I think it was the pro but it they called it something cuz it was that cylinder yeah they had the the porcelain
27:09
cylinder for a while the trash can the trash can yeah what a horrible idea what a horrible form factor this is a Sonic
27:15
chassis for it yeah slid in there that tried to make it cool again but it was a headache dude it was and it was
27:22
expensive too yep yep so yeah this this year this chassis had a bunch of pie C
27:28
cards on the back I think um and then that those are all the interfaces for that computer but they had a they had a
27:34
pretty Skookum uh computer already so they're like hey we have a computer we're going
27:39
to use it but we want to put in the rack I'm like okay here we go um we also have here the Oppo so this
27:46
is their Blu-ray player because they had that 4K like the first 4K TV ever right so this was a this is an early 4K it's a
27:54
true 4K Blu-ray blay or dvd it was Blu-ray or DVD yeah and it um it racked
28:01
it racked thing I love that yeah it's a I mean when I next next home I build or
28:06
whatever if I do a home theater I'm going get that puppy check out Oppo they still I mean I looked at them a couple years ago yeah uh they're still I got a
28:13
pair of headphones by them too the Oppo I forget what they are they sound really good though plan R love it but
28:20
yeah these oppos had analog outputs so we could easily put them into our processor because we ended up having a
28:26
bunch of different scenarios that they can mix in this room and we'll get to that in a
28:32
second yeah acoustical panels in the back um getting it all
28:39
going that's kind of a install pick what was that string hanging I
28:45
remember that string hanging down there for weeks I forget what it was going to it had something to do with a cable pole
28:50
for something way right there it must not have been us maybe not so there it is built out
28:58
that console so it's it's like a fader bank and then like a encoder bank and
29:04
then a button bank and then like uh this um control bank and this transport bank
29:12
so it's like you could kind of put it together any way you want but then you had to put it together
29:18
right it looked cool it looked really cool I think I've got a Vegas mode thing on it too yep hey other consoles get
29:24
your crap together start doing Vegas modes again I mean people love it back in the day you know how many consoles I bought just because of the Vegas mode
29:31
it's like one of the first things we did when we powered it on like yeah we finally got the console let's do Vegas mode does uh alen Heath have any Vegas
29:38
mode I don't think so I don't think so either I think avid's they were the ones that did it yeah get your crap together
29:45
people um more acoustical panels so that was so these are the big
29:52
big boys up front remember the whole Mount issue with those oh my goodness see that's a nice that's a legit custom
29:58
Mount right there that we ended up finding for these speakers those speakers were heavy these uh this Mount
30:04
was this Mount was built for these speakers yes that's the but we went through a whole we tried to get
30:10
a we had a fabricator down down down in Sarasota yeah that had a custom car shop
30:19
really nice cuz we couldn't find uh gelc did not provide mounts for these
30:24
speakers was the thing they provided them for the smaller ones right but we had to fly we had to hang these on a
30:30
wall basically and they're heavy yeah and we went the route of using like a custom fabricator guy and I remember
30:37
trying to put a speaker on that thing and it was going to just fall apart yeah so he used so we hired we hired this guy
30:43
this this fabricator and he took a TV mount right that you could and
30:49
articulating TV mount and then he welded uh these bracket brackets that
30:55
would interface with the bottom of that speaker right and we're like sweet yeah he did it all
31:01
he powder coated it it looked legit like sweet we got these Custom Custom uh
31:06
mounts we put them up and we put the speaker on it and it's
31:11
like and we're like well at it that's not right yeah like that's not what we're looking for and I remember us
31:18
getting them up and like literally just like right away I was like this is not going to work but we're like well may we
31:24
you sit there you sit there for an hour trying to think through every single possibility before you're like hey dude uh your brackets suck I
31:31
remember calling and talking to him and he was like no it's fine I check the weight it'll be fine it might sag but it'll be fine and then we were like this
31:38
is not this cannot happen no way so we went digging well and then I think uh I
31:45
think someone and we'll get into who uh told us like oh why don't you just get the sound anchor one and we're like
31:50
excuse him and it was a speaker that can hold 150 lbs or something like that it
31:56
was built for that speaker yeah they had one out there I think it was sound anchor they had one they're like oh yeah just use a sound anchor I'm like well
32:02
yeah dude thanks for letting us know gen I think it was gen like that to that like yeah dude thanks for letting us
32:07
know and so then we went and got those and they were legit yeah Steel full on
32:13
steel no that wouldn't go anywhere had like a little uh angle adjusters like it was legit man screw that for the up and
32:20
down and then it also could pan left and right and that stuff's heavy steel all that sound anchor stuff is heavy steel
32:26
yep that was legit it was good that helps with the sound too right
32:32
you don't want to you know you don't want to some rickety thing all those
32:37
vibrations from the speaker in the box like trans transfer through all that stuff and all of a sudden if you have a flimsy Mount your your mount's connected
32:45
to your wall your your Wall's going to vibrate too so now you have phasing and whatever so it it's kind of worth it
32:53
yep um that's a soldering iron and that's an XLR in a and cut into a box
33:00
everyone yep just so you know so it holds it for you nice that's right you know that picture you know the famous
33:07
picture of the the woman holding a soldering iron like it's like a come and learn at our school about technical
33:13
things and she's holding the hot part right holding the done that probe or whatever Yep this is a picture of uh all
33:21
some of the routing we used we used symmetrics on this Pro this this uh project so uh this is a little before
33:28
cusis was like the thing to do so symmetrics was and apparently I was
33:34
talking to the symmetrics guy the other day they have a whole new whole new software and a whole new thing and it's
33:39
way more userfriendly uh this this symmetric stuff that we used was very capable but it was not
33:46
user friendly right oh my goodness I just it was it was rough it was rough to
33:52
figure it out um more I mean the routing and all this and the the processing that
33:57
that that's stuff's pretty standard but the uh touchcreen stuff man my goodness
34:03
thank you CIS this touchscreen stuff took me forever but that's some routing so we
34:10
you know we took all these different inputs we took like the the Blu-ray inputs um you're going to see here we
34:16
have a bunch of Protools interface stuff that all got in there um playback uh
34:21
there's a bunch of stuff that went into this this processor so that we could give them different types of of uh
34:28
mixing right the one and only here we go
34:33
guys Mr Mike chaffy in the house Legend legendary ears Rest In
34:39
Peace So this is pretty huge uh we got connected with Mike
34:46
chaffy um because he was the genac rep the rep for the area and we knew we
34:52
wanted to do genc cuz they're my favorite and like this Studio's got to be legit let's do it right and so we got
34:57
connected with Mike and in that process got to got to know him and then like
35:03
went to his place and hung out with them um and he was a legit legit audio Savant
35:11
this guy travels the country and probably different parts of the world just to sit in studios and tune them
35:17
yeah like that's what he does with his ears by the way I mean he looks at the tech and stuff too yeah he he had an
35:22
analyzer but but it's his ear it's his ear so um I he talked about you know
35:28
doing like a Disney Studios doing ESPN stuff all I mean people would these companies would fly him out to come tune
35:35
their rooms right and we luckily got tied up with him and then he was so
35:41
pumped that we were doing this room and using ginc and all these really cool speakers and right and so obviously we
35:48
used him he wanted to come to in the room oh yeah he wanted to be a part of it um and it was it was really fun to
35:55
watch it's fun to watch somebody like that yeah I forget how many pictures I have in here I didn't see any video oh
36:01
there Ben I didn't see it you didn't I couldn't get I didn't get it from you do you have it what yeah oh it's on my okay
36:07
let me see here real quick sorry people we got to try to find a video okay but
36:13
yeah I didn't get any videos from you oh wait it's probably only one this one
36:20
um nope there's it's in there I think it might be it might show one of like the
36:27
the thumbnail might be like one of our heads I feel like oh man it's going to
36:33
be worth finding if you can find it
36:38
um that's the only one I got I got to try to get it to you then what's on your
36:44
phone all right press pause and we're back and guess what it is very worth it
36:49
the the break was worth it we found the video and it's better than I remember okay so should we set the scene
36:57
yeah so so so Mike chaffy um he's designed all these Studios he's
37:04
he's legit um he's got an ear for this stuff he's just his whole life is audio and um he helped us design this
37:12
studio and build it out and and do all this stuff and then uh we had them out to tune the room so when you tune the
37:18
room you listen through all the speakers make sure that they're all in Phase make sure they're all time aligned and then
37:24
also you're taking out the room so you're getting rid of any frequencies that that the room is amplifying or
37:29
taking away and so you're trying to get the room as flat as possible so that this is actually different than like uh
37:35
a musical room yeah we get it flat for a venue but then it go it needs to be musical as well uh this is like absolute
37:41
flatness right so we wanted to just and that way that way their reference was
37:47
true right so we had Mike the man himself come out he spent a couple days
37:54
there mhm uh like or like a day and a half and it was him sitting in a chair
38:01
or standing and he would ask us to play a little reference that he had some kind
38:06
of music whatever it was he'd play it yep and he'd just stand there he would not move he would just stand and just
38:13
sit there and stare into the into the abyss and then he would go like this and
38:21
so we push stop on the music and then he say you know front left speaker you know
38:27
one millisecond up and also do the you know this frequency down one I mean the
38:33
most minute and then you go in symmetrics and like make these tiny little changes like 42 uh bring down 421
38:39
Hertz by uh 0.5 DB at yeah at uh you know threeq so it's the eqs it was the
38:45
timing it was all this stuff and then you'd make the changes hit return and it' go like this and You' go push
38:53
play this you know music would start and you just be sitting in there and then you'd go and you push stop and he'd look over and
39:00
be like all right make these changes and it was that for a whole day right and it was that for like another half day wow
39:06
it just forever every speaker in the room over and over and over every
39:12
reference like it was just it seemed so minute that it's crazy that he could
39:18
hear that kind of changing but you know that's what he would do yep and that's how the tuning
39:24
process worked for those hours and hours and hours okay so we have a video here of Mike uh
39:32
in his happy place right and he's tuning the system and you're going to probably
39:37
hear this through my microphone but uh the music his his reference Tunes were awesome yeah they were I picked up one
39:44
from them uh I picked up a an Alison chain song that he that he used but uh I
39:51
didn't pick this one up yeah he had some weird ones this one was beyond me but uh
39:56
obiously into something in that okay so it's not going to sound good through the mic but you'll be able to hear it and get the idea okay so all right listen
40:03
this [Music]
40:13
[Music]
40:20
oh we weirded out but this is this is a master in his
40:26
element that's what he's listening for there we
40:31
go yeah listen for those low mids now he's telling you
40:38
[Music] yeah cool that's what it was he would
40:44
have a certain little part in each song that he was listening for some specific right frequency or something right yeah
40:51
that he wanted to hear that's that's the whole idea that's what I do too is like you know you have a song you're like okay this song I got to hear those all
40:56
those notes you got he you're waiting for the snare on this song or the you know the the piano on this song the
41:02
vocal on this song whatever so so it's at one point he's tuning the room and he
41:09
we're it's now in in it's full on it's it's there now it's sounding
41:15
unbelievable and even at that point where we weren't doing speaker to speaker anymore it was playing a
41:22
reference for the whole room and he would crank it and he would do the same thing he listen to it as a whole right
41:29
and do the whole stop make a change and it was that for hours again and we're just sitting there and I can remember I
41:37
won't say the whole thing yet but this has been hours and hours and hours of this and so we're playing we're playing
41:43
the song and um I'm sitting there waiting for him to tell us to stop so
41:48
I'm just waiting and waiting and then I'm realizing the music had continued and like he hadn't given the stop signal yet
41:55
and it had been long enough to I was like what's going going on and I look up and there he was just like in the video
42:01
standing there but he was crying he was literally crying sounded
42:09
too good because of the sound in that room right like that's what it brought him too yeah he got emotional I mean
42:16
yeah and I remember I like I didn't know what to do I just sat there you put it your armor around him yeah went and
42:22
hugged him I just sat there and let it I just let it happen I let the song play out right and he played the whole song
42:28
out right and then he was just so like Overjoyed he was so proud of the room
42:35
and the sound that was in there like it it was pretty crazy you know it is an emotional experience so for people most
42:44
people are listening to music on their phones or like some through some stupid little Bluetooth thing there's a
42:50
different world that a lot of people don't even know about oh most people don't know about they don't know about the Hi-Fi the world of Studio
42:58
large venue Pas these speakers they can emot they can pull emotion out of you
43:04
cuz you were hearing things and you were hearing music you were hearing like emotion from from musicians through the
43:10
through these speakers that you didn't hear before you're hearing things um you're hearing things from
43:17
songs you you thought you knew your whole life and you're hearing them for the first time right it's unfortunate
43:24
that um not many people get to get to experience
43:30
that yeah and it's they wear air you know airbuds and whatever I mean I have them too so it's just is the world but
43:37
convenience yeah we got to do this room and experience that way now we get to do huge Pas too and that you can get the
43:44
same vibe from that from a giant room PA that sounds really good too same thing right but yeah this was so confined and
43:52
so I don't know it was a it was a special it was a special room because of
43:57
how it was put together and then having somebody like him come in and and tune it right was nuts and then U yeah it was
44:06
it was a pretty crazy experience it was uh at the time and still I can still
44:11
remember it it it's it was one of the best sounding rooms I've ever sat in it it sounded so clear and so uh concise
44:19
and so powerful and the the room was out of the way it was just pure sound in
44:24
your face um no hiding of anything and if you listen to well recorded mixed
44:31
Master Tracks it was like being in a mastering room it it just sounded amazing yeah and I get it I get why he
44:39
cried yeah I get it it is an emotional experience you know yeah we people don't
44:45
understand it anymore we had there's like a glory day of like ' 80s 90s the high-fi days where
44:50
like you know we're still tape or cassettes or whatever they were atra
44:55
vinyl and they were and people wanted it to sound really good right and so they invested a lot into this this stuff and
45:02
then nowadays mixing and mastering and it's be become a lot easier in a way mhm
45:09
um some things don't sound as good some things sound amazing right it's kind we're kind of in a weird world right now
45:15
people don't understand people don't understand yet that it's worth it it's worth it to mix and master correctly and
45:21
then to listen to it on an amazing PA or or Studio or Missing Link is the
45:28
listening part yeah big missing everyone's putting headphones on and those are getting better too but moving
45:34
air in a room that's how we listen what I mean we're not even wearing headphones right now cuz we just want to talk like
45:40
this but yeah it's a thing man and that's why people like going to the movies that whole experience of uh you
45:46
know just that if you go to a good theater and have good sound how much better that is versus watching a movie
45:53
on your laptop somewhere absolutely that's the difference so yeah this was
45:59
it I mean this was I'm sure it's not as good as it gets but it was it was pretty amazing sound
46:07
yep um I remember we would just sit in there and listen to music we would we would put a movie on that had really
46:13
good sound we watch gravity gravity gravity that's right we that was our that was our reference Blu-ray cuz it
46:19
had some crazy audio stuff in that movie if yeah if you if you haven't watched gravity uh spoiler alert you should
46:26
should have it's it out 10 years ago Sandra Bullock in her prime come on people right Get Your Heart Right watch
46:32
some gravity that's that movie starts with like this crazy Symphony of like uh
46:39
like I don't know the m is like it gets super loud and then it goes
46:45
like a vacuum com like a vacuum cuz all of a sudden you're in space in space and no one can hear you scream in space and
46:53
then yeah there's a lot of really good audio on that because what you're hearing is the air inside of their suits
46:59
vibrating and that's all you hear because outside is a vacuum there's no audio there's no sound in space right
47:04
that's why I don't go there cuz I like sound I like hearing things people I'm never going to space because you can't hear in space so what you're hearing
47:10
like even I remember those opening um in those opening Clips they're like they
47:16
have like a a drill drill and what you're hearing is just the air inside
47:21
their head with the vibrations of that thing is like they did a really good job with
47:26
that all that it there's explosions there's explosions and stuff happening like the satellites are but you don't
47:32
hear anything right cuz there's no sound right you just hear screaming it was a good video to watch
47:38
it good yeah so I've got some pictures here of the final product yeah and also
47:43
a video that we can quickly walk through um I'm going to be late for my next think I should texted me let me let
47:50
me do a quick text okay oh yeah we got a couple minutes here why you talk about about
47:57
this Ben while I do a quick text oh okay so here we go we had an audience here
48:02
now this was um all this was opening day basically for this studio we had been there for I think a
48:09
couple weeks this was back in the day where we were still working uh full-time at the church so every day after work we
48:17
would drive over to the school and work until 1 or 2:00 in the morning uh to make this studio happen we've been there
48:22
for a couple weeks this was the day that we got to show people the finished studio so like the people that were uh
48:30
involved with the money there the financing um all of the teachers uh there's uh Mike chaffy down there in the
48:37
bottom left corner and his friend in the blue shirt I can't remember who he was but he was somebody that was big time in
48:44
this studio world too he brought him out to show him this room oh really yeah oh cool um I can't remember who he I can't
48:50
remember who he was from yeah Mike was here right this is that's him in the bottom left corner right there yeah oh yeah there he is yeah and then that blue
48:56
guy with the blue shirt right there beside him it was his friend in the business yeah we brought out some of his other buddies too he did at a different
49:02
time yeah and so this was us showing them the studio for the first time ever
49:08
um it was kind of hectic great cuz we wanted it to go well yeah we're doing the demos I'm pretty
49:13
sure we played Gravity the movie I think so too and showed them that opening clip yeah and then turned it up really loud
49:19
obviously and let hear everything and see see the TV yep yeah let's take a look yeah that's
49:24
them go through a couple more pictures here Let Me Go the video real quick there's the TV yeah so this is the final
49:31
product so this is uh left center right of genac what what's the model of those
49:36
again the 1038 CF 1038 CF yep and then we had two subs on the
49:42
floor yep the 707s I remember moving those together in aart by like 6 Ines
49:49
and little by little with Mike spre another inch another inch trying to get
49:54
that Power Alley in the right spot lot learn a lot from that and then you can see the TV there what was that TV it was
50:01
an LG it was an LG I think and it was an 85 in 85 in 4k true 4K it was it was the
50:09
biggest 4k on the market yep and this was 10 years ago this 10 years ago basically didn't exist in the in the
50:16
consumer line right and this was one of the first ones it was very expensive yeah how much was it I feel like it was
50:22
like 10 grand or something like that it probably was or maybe even more it was very expensive but at the time it was
50:27
like that's what you paid if you wanted a big 4K TV and we had to do we had to figure out 4K transmission from their
50:34
desk to their so there was only a couple 4K Extron units or something like that that we had to use it it didn't
50:40
exist on the market so it was very difficult to put that together for for proper editing but we had tons of people
50:46
come to that room to look at that TV right and we're think we're like look at the speakers man I know everyone wanted
50:52
to come see the TV they just want to look at the TV so yeah so we had those uh the two
50:59
nearfield um 850s were those 850s or were those a little smaller maybe they're the 840s but we don't have them
51:06
on the list six of the 850s unless maybe we just got smaller ones at some point I
51:12
feel like they were smaller too right but yeah uh you know those are my choice
51:19
I I'll take those for my reference anytime I love little speakers man they sound so
51:24
good there's that big old puppy on the left center right speakers there TVs
51:30
look so good Subs sounded great Subs were so good too yeah um those are all the items
51:38
racked a cool art artsy we got that light from tell right that's right yeah
51:44
it's like a like a gift really cool modern light put in there up Dog Studios
51:49
put their branding everywhere oh this is cool this is their uh their reference controller so this is
51:55
their monitor controller this is a Grace m906 uh these things are legit these are
52:02
the real deal if you want if you want to get real uh reference control this is it Yep they're uh super high quality built
52:12
and they've got true Dolby down mixes like two 2.0 they've got all these all these bells and whistles you can solo
52:19
any channel you can add in sub take out like it's just a really intuitive volume controller really
52:26
that's what it is is but it's got all these other uh solos and mutes and a bunch of stuff it it worked out really
52:32
well so that's that's in line before any sound goes to any speaker this was the touchcreen of death
52:39
that I put together with some uh what was the company symmetric symmetric and um so
52:47
here is a a monitoring page and I'll show you this in the video but there's that puppy again oh sounds so good I can
52:53
I can hear it through the screen how good it sounds isn't that amazing look clean you can see the the side and rear
53:01
speakers yep for surround monitoring and mixing there it is and there's us look
53:08
at us young sexy young people let's look at the video real
53:14
quick um there we go so YouTube it's an Inception of YouTube going on right here
53:22
so we're watching YouTube on YouTube for YouTube through YouTube how does that happen how does that work yeah I'm not going to have any volume
53:28
though I'm just going to kind of stop and pause hey what's up it's G and we are here yeah my voice changed I'm
53:34
telling you that's what's wrong with me look at this video dude the shaky cam
53:39
but um yeah let's take a look this is uh that that's the whole
53:44
studio man I'll pause it a little spot so I can show you some stuff whoa this is you Ben on camera how
53:53
dare you I'm trying to think what would I have been recording on right now 10 years ago potato phone who knows I don't
54:00
know that was uh was that our first Crown shirt was that 1.0 that's 1.0 yeah dang this was early man I'm telling you
54:07
this was early in the day this is 2014 this is a year in man you know what's so
54:13
weird I I we got the the 3/4 tea stuff I had 3/4 Tes with the company I I worked
54:20
with of Vancouver um and we had them so that we'd cover uh tattoos oh so this is
54:27
back I mean how how crazy I mean our generation does not care about tattoos oh yeah but the generation before us
54:34
cared about tattoos big time and so this is 10 years ago weird we had those
54:40
shirts made because I was used to wearing them from from doing installs but we but I was we had those on so that
54:46
we'd cover up tattoos how do times change it's changed a lot but it is true I remember when I
54:53
first got a tattoo it was like the biggest like people were flipping out dude my mom
54:58
freaked out so love you Mom yeah my parents actually yeah they kind of did
55:04
but they got over pretty quick but yeah it was I remember getting them and and uh I remember the tattoo guy when I did
55:10
them on my maybe down on my forearms or something I remember him saying well the
55:16
only thing you're ever going to be able to do is construction now start that was even their mentality
55:23
though what do you say with the skull yeah well you're going to be at that point it didn't matter I was so far gone
55:29
at that point well then uh hope you like the devil you're going to hell yeah crazy I mean it wasn't that
55:36
long ago when I first got my first one but um yeah it was it defin it was definitely a generational thing yeah but
55:43
that's funny so that's why we had our 1.0 was 3/4 T to hide our to hide our
55:49
our tattoos so silly so over here you can see uh the
55:56
Protools computer and all the equipment that we had in there let me pause it here so we
56:01
had oh my goodness this camera um there's a hard drive here uh
56:08
some symmetrics interfacing and then our Protools rig so our interface and our IO for Protools I forget what version of
56:15
Protools they've gone through so many different versions by now I think this is like HDX or something I can't remember HDX it's on our quote Protools
56:24
HDX yep that's that's what I told you I know I just said that I
56:31
confirmed yeah and then really good sound that's what I'm saying right there I'm pointing at it and say that's where
56:36
the sound comes from yep that's where the good sound comes from symetric yeah the radius symmetrics
56:44
radius yeah they had a bunch of different types of IO and everything got
56:49
some yeah so we set their uh we set their their Daw up for like playback
56:55
recording different types of things they had a bunch of different um uh templates to start
57:01
from over here now we get to the speakers so yeah gen like 7.2 surround
57:07
and then 7.2 plus the two reference 850s yeah there they are so I
57:14
was I was wrong or right again I don't know here the side
57:21
surrounds and then we'll show the rear surrounds
57:27
look at my hair oh my goodness a lot more hair back
57:34
then here's the S6 I don't know if I like those consoles
57:41
man I don't know I don't know I like their old stuff I don't I don't know maybe I'm too old now they
57:47
kind of price themselves out too yeah honestly look at that though that's that's cool you know they do have cool stuff 3D
57:53
mixing so this touch screen here I had bunch of uh different types of you know
58:01
control here and you could do uh a Protools post or music or
58:06
Blu-ray you could do a simulat a surround we set this thing up and
58:11
programmed it so that you could listen to a 2.0 track but with simulat surround and what it did was it um it had proper
58:19
delay to all the speakers and then added like the smallest little bit of of Reverb just like barely any right it's a
58:26
fake surround but it just added a little bit of more uh made it feel like a
58:31
different type of room all of a sudden so it like added a little bit so they could listen to a 2.0 across every single speaker in their room and kind of
58:38
get a cool effect it sounded really good yeah it was cool so they could cut in between 2.0 or simulated
58:44
surround had all their sources there I mean this took forever on symmetrics I'm telling you and when we got into this
58:51
game with this with this thing uh Mike was like oh yeah you can do all that stuff it's super easy I'm like oh okay
58:57
I'm like oh yeah I want to do a touch screen I want to have all these things and he's like oh yeah it's easy I'm like oh okay so we got into it and it was not
59:05
easy never is it never is it was a lot of programming man but look at that
59:10
double touch or no it was already in that mode that stuff took forever dude telling you so I had monitoring across
59:18
every output master master volume control bunch of cool stuff man like
59:23
this is early control stuff it was like either Crestron or symmetrics at the time and right we were rock and roll in
59:31
symmetrics that's the that's the uh monitor controller
59:39
again um I think I'm talk I don't know what
59:45
I'm talking about there but talking about something cool yeah so in this part of the rack
59:50
you've got uh more symmetrics IO um the 4K dis distribution and then the the
59:58
grace uh rack unit yeah so that that monitor controller comes with a a rack
1:00:04
unit that has all the I/O on it and then a proprietary cable that pops off of it for that controller controller yeah
1:00:10
yeah I like that stuff man it's if you're G to if you're going to go this if you're going to do it right you got
1:00:16
to do it right everywhere right and if you're going to put your sound through something like you can put your sound
1:00:22
through a controller and you want it to sound amazing it's got to all sound amazing right we did we did like Gotham
1:00:28
cabling yes that's right double shielded Gotham uh signal cabling that was crazy
1:00:34
yeah getting that stuff too tons so much money on that cabling um just to make
1:00:39
sure that every component through all signal flow was legit Mike was giving us those CH he was giving us those yeah it
1:00:46
was Mike he's like you got to go Gotham cable and call this guy he's like he's got stuff in his basement like yeah he
1:00:51
pretty much said he he would not work with us unless we did Gotham cable right Studio
1:00:57
cable so yeah that was uh putting different sources so that was a 4K uh a 4K
1:01:06
switcher yeah this stuff did not just happen people this is this is a Cutting Edge trailblazing stuff
1:01:14
here and you can see here the TV there it is Sandra
1:01:19
bulock she made this movie for this studio for us for reference FYI so
1:01:27
yeah so that's the studio it sounded so good it turned out so good um
1:01:35
I'm I was okay so then the I mean to book end this whole
1:01:43
project one day this a couple years later yeah a couple years later okay
1:01:48
well first well we find out first we we launched this thing right and literally
1:01:54
the day that we launch it essentially the guy that's overseeing this program comes up to us and says I'm fired guess
1:02:01
we're not making movies anymore I'm moving I'm out of here yeah he goes I guess we're not making movies anymore like and we're like thank God we're done
1:02:08
and we're going to get our check I know on opening day it's already over yeah
1:02:13
and they closed down I know they closed down their production company or
1:02:19
something I don't know what happened but they weren't going to be using it the same and then whatever program they had the school I don't know what they did
1:02:26
and it was like literally the day we're showing it off and I was like oh my what why do we do this then but well I didn't
1:02:32
really care I'm like well we did it yeah you wanted us to do it it's legit you can do whatever you want with it now
1:02:38
right but unfortunately it's unfortunate that you can't go there and listen to it
1:02:43
yeah they had they I guess they use it for a little bit I remember there's a church beside them that came and used it for mixing I went and did some some work
1:02:52
for them they entered um oh that's right they entered something into a an uh like
1:02:58
a contest like a commercial contest commercial contest so I went out there and and I got to mix on it and and I did
1:03:04
some post- production mix mixing for them yeah I think they used it for a couple years it turned into more of like
1:03:10
they weren't doing the movies anymore no but it was like a lab for their kids for the students so they got to go in there
1:03:15
and like use this studio this legit Studio but then a couple more years came went by I don't even know this school
1:03:21
exists anymore honestly I don't know either yeah but I remember being on eBay and I'm like oh dang look these are the
1:03:28
same speakers that we put in up Dog Studios and I'm like oh dang look hey those are the same Subs I'm like hey
1:03:35
wait those are my pictures those are the pictures we took I'm like hey someone's using our pictures to sell their
1:03:41
speakers on eBay that's what I said like someone's someone stole our pictures from our website and they're using it to
1:03:47
sell the speakers on eBay and then I look and they're selling they're selling the speakers on eBay the school was
1:03:52
selling the speakers on eBay yep they had dissolved or something and they're getting rid of it it's unfortunate man because it
1:03:59
sounded so good and it was such a great setup yeah but you can't control it it
1:04:04
lived it happened it lived for a while yeah it was amazing it was and uh you
1:04:11
know Mike chaffy taught us a lot it was amazing to work with him uh rest in
1:04:17
peace passed away he was fighting parkson's for years y he was a really big uh guy in the audio file um
1:04:25
networking down here in Bradington Sarasota uh he was part of the the audio file group and all that stuff and uh he
1:04:32
was renowned he everyone loved him he was a great great engineer and really
1:04:38
had a he he dedicated his life to making things sound better which which I you
1:04:43
know I believe in I think it's a great thing so what a great opportunity to
1:04:50
work with Mike on this stuff and to have him cry in the room and he he said that this room was what a 9 .5 out of 10 yeah
1:04:57
and and he said it was a 9.5 out of 10 because it's not in his house yeah he loved this room he brought we we did
1:05:04
multiple tours with other people after the fact with us that he had clients from different countries even that would
1:05:11
come to the United States looking to do a big GC room and he would take him to this studio mhm so he loved it yeah um I
1:05:20
loved it too I wish it was still there man yeah a bit of a shame it is I know
1:05:27
but that's the way the cookie crumbles it happened we got paid and walked away
1:05:33
it's true I mean that I guess worse things could have happened they could have not paid us right but that that
1:05:39
wasn't the case no um no so it turned out great and it was a great project to
1:05:45
kind of learn on and once again being with Mike and you know gaining that
1:05:50
