Mac DeMarco Nerds Out About Music Gear | Reverb Interview 

Mac sounds like he's from New York, Canada.

“Everybody thinks that I love chorus, wrong, I love vibrato” lmfao love you Mac

I personally tend to use the chorus pedal when it's the chorus of the song, and the flanger when it's the flangerus of the song

Basically just use whatever you have access to. Great mentality when it comes to actually creating

Mac DeMarco sounds like hes a chef putting flavors together

Mac’s always been authentic in his music production. He doesn’t know all the terms and answers but he can play and get into a creative mood and experiment with different instruments and tech, and I think that’s all it takes to make something worthwhile.

I can read lips pretty well (partially hearing impaired), so for anyone wondering what he said when it bleeped out which synths are his new favorite, he said the "Casio CZ series." These are phenomenal synthesizers that use a very unique sound source called "phase distortion" to create and dial in wave forms. I restored a Casio CZ-101 about 2 years ago and while it's sort of a pain in the ass to program, I still love it! Hats off to you Mac!

“But even that, I’m not going full crunch. Just a mild crunch” Mac perfectly describing my ab workout routine

Don't know anything about this Guy but love his down to earth attitude.

Mac Demarco : screw gear Also Mac : vintage twin, fostex Reel 2 Reel , Juno 60, dx7 , D-50, Ce-2 , Re-201

please get kevin parker on this

“Ooh, stinky” -Mac Demarco

Watching Mac Demarco be passionate about his music making process ignites a flame inside of me that makes me want to make more instrumentals, i love it

A few seconds ago I was like “I haven’t listened to mac in a bit” and here he is :)

The youngest looking 50 year old dude. Damn those viceroys.

That is why his records musically sound so good to the ears. He is someone who is looking for a sound that he likes, and is trying re-create when listening back to the sound via headphones or speakers. A true musician/artist. maybe even a audiophile.

What he says in the bleep is "this cheap piece of gear means something to me, and you should find something that means something to you." "If it works, it works. N that's good for me" -as he said

Seems like a pretty normal guy actually. Not obnoxious at all, just saying it how it is. Even though he has a ton of hype, I actually like his music.

The little riff he plays around the 6:00 mark sounds like "Fishing for Fishies" by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizzard

Just discovered this guy! I love him! He’s a true Indie Artist without the filter! He’s got strait from the heart music! He’s inspiring me to do my thing!

That N64 hat is incredible!!

Love the never ending search for the perfect gear. It's like a collection that does cool shit

Mac really does seem like a guy that just stumbled into being successful and it's amazing

I’ve been watching so many Mac Demarco interviews I think I’m starting to pick up his mannerisms. Keep saying “👐 God Bless”

honestly glad someone finally appreciates connan mockasin’s amazing and unique sound

Its so nice to get new videos of Mac

"The one that I was in love with, that I destroyed." - Mac DeMarco (2019)

Every time I watch an interview with Mac I fall in love with him just a little bit more!

He 90% said "Casio CZ----" The prices for those are already going up

Mac looks like the guys I see walking down busy roads in the middle of the day with a cigarette behind their ears.

6:02 Did anyone else hear some Fishing for Fishies?

I've watched this so many times I've learnt every single word coming out of his mouth

Even though I don’t understand what he’s talking about I could listen to Mac talking for hours

“If you can just get the jiggle, I like that.” I can relate that to a lot of things

8:47 Mac says Casio CT-X

He is the Bob ross of guitars

I used to love my old Zoom 505. It still has my favorite flanger effect ever.

Whattt forever dolphin love is one of my favorite albums tooo!!!

I love how different every guitarists pedal boards are. like Mac vibrato from using the only wet signal from chorus, how he uses 2 reverbs is also new too me. and the fact that he secretly loves those cheap zoom multi effects pedals 😆. I love hearing people talk about this stuff.

That Montreal show was really wild

This was the most charming interview about gear. Love this dude!

this is the best mac demarco interview on the internets

AHH!! MY DREAM VIDEO - I am going to have this one on repeat for the next 24 hours - THANKS

i'd do anything to get a whole day to talk to mac about gear

I love how he reached to what he had and just experimented to create his own sounds. You should do this with Kevin Parker or Stu Mackenzie. I would like to know how these musical geniuses approach shitty pieces of gear to make magic.

5:05 where everyone paused

Connan mockassin getting the credit he deserves. Epic.

my mum bought me a zoom multi effects pedal for Xmas when I was like 15/16. still the only pedal I have cos I'm broke, gonna have to bring it out again as an ode to Mac

Im so fuckin excited about the İstanbul concert. Finally gonna see him with my own eyes.

Mac is the Bill Murray of indie rock!

That Nintendo 64 Kellogg's cap is incredibly cool

*Mac dresses like a guy who's doing well enough to own a yatch, but it's a second hand 25 footer, and he has to borrow your truck twice a year to get it in and out the water. *A legal aide lawyer

Finally another Mac video

I come back to this video for therapy now and again. 😌

“Jigglin’ ”-Mac Demarco circa late 2k19

Great story for this fella. Doing what he loves and he's good at it. I wish him all the best and I like his stuff. I'll tell ya though...I'm him in reverse. 32 years playing guitar...I can almost play the full set of cowboy chords cleanly. The penny never dropped for me. Chased a teenage dream to record music...have all the gear...but no idea. My stuff sounds like garbage.

It’s funny how he says he tears himself apart over trying to get the perfect drum sound when I’m a massive fan of his drums sound on record. Everyone talks about “Mac guitar tone” when his drumming drives so many of his songs.

That N64/Kellogg’s hat tho...... The vid was great, too. Love this guy’s vibe.

Okay. That’s gear. Okay.

Nice of him to bring his friend along n just let him chill on his forehead. Macs a sweet dude

4:39 that piece of gear is in really high demand rn

That strat sounds like heaven

Well now I wanna know the name of the synth even more

i dont think anyone understands how much i love this man

Looks like he's saying casiotone. So, probably the early analog ones like the ct 101 or 202

I finally know what vibrato pedal he uses and I'm glad he's still using the cheap stuff so I can maybe get one of them on my board

I also hate when people call my 70's start weird and stinky

I've been waiting this video since 2017

"If you just get the jiggle... oooo" -Mac Demarco

Tech talk + Mac DeMarco =

Me hearing Mac Demarco for the first time: 2:55

1:52... The honesty here just cracked me up; been there done that; in different contexts, but totally the same.

this dude really talks with his hands i can’t stop watching it

Damn, I bought a VB-2 cause he had one and now he's on the Shaker! Damn it Mac, good job!

I want him to do an album with Courtney Barnett

"Casio CZ Series"

were so thankful for his taste in this shit, comes out sounding amazing

everytime i watch a video of mac speaking of gear i have to check my bank account

What did he say when they bleeped it??? Its not that i wanna buy his gear, but I'm just so curious

wish they would have talked about the amps too

Thats the coolest dad hat ever

Love you Mac. I really wanna see you live. Shout outs from Chicago

Well this is a cool video to see in my sub feed

Mac back In action

The least pretentious musician on earth. He's more down to earth than most regular people.

thank you maccymoo

I love me a little Mac Demarco, but man I learned absolutely NOTHING about actual gear from this video

7:00 the way he looked at that guitar cracked me up

"If u could just get the jiggle"

Please release another album!! 🙏🏽 I’m loving the new Mac!

the viceroys got to my boy

I actually got to be that guy asking “bdjdbe what year is your eauwghdhd” with that 1970 he mentioned smashing. It sounded fantastic live RIP.

great video!!!!!!!! you guys are killing it!!!!!

I watched Mac smash his guitar in Monteral a few months back. Insane show. Glad you got your hat back too. Lol

How many ply is the toilet paper though?

I WANT THIS SWEATSHIRT

I use to have one of those zoom pedals too, till everyone told me it was shite :(

One mans mild crunch is another mans clean.

I mean, how can people dislike Mac DeMarco

Please, do the video about reel 2 reel recording
