Welcome back dude. Glad you’re back and hopefully better than ever. Love your videos and am a better drummer because of you and your videos. Take care man, looking forward to more drumming awesomeness. Cheers!! Tim😎🍺
missed your content man. we have similar stories regarding the covid madness and probably similar findings hah. both built drum studios which is productive. great to see you back and hope to see more from you
Awesome job, Austin, on both the build of the new studio as well as the video tour. Can't wait to see the documentary on the studio construction as well as future content!
Literally last night we watched the tool Pneuma tutorial and I was saying I can't believe it's been three years since he posted something. And here you are the next morning. LFG!
Austin!!!!!!! So glad to see you back on YT. Looks like WV is treating you well. 👍 Thank you for the detailed tour of your studio & gear. Everything is BEASTLY! Excited to see what you will put out in the near future. Seriously man, I’m so happy for you! Glad you’re in a position to do videos again. 😎✅💯
Welcome back! I remember you were one of the few that stayed up late at night practicing in your drum room at MI…I was there just a few doors away. Good times! 🥁
Hey Austin! The studio looks amazing! Thanks so much for sharing the process of building the space and including us. We love seeing studios come together! All the best!
I went from playing drums at a home to being forbidden to play at an apartment - i’m also leaving California and heading South! The studio is stunning!🤩 Congratulations!🥁🎉
Omg you're alive! dude, your drumming mixing course really got me started so well. I engineer full bands now and love every minute of it. Your workflow tips and logic things made me work so quick on drums and that has helped tremendously recording other things. So welcome back, can't wait to see what you've been up to!
Yes !! Informative AND interesting. Always loved your content and your calm, knowledgeable teaching style. I literally have 100 things to say, but I want to boil it down to this: On the subject of health, sound engineers being out of shape, and stand-up desks… Several years ago I did an experiment (over about a weeks time) where I would sit down at my desk, paying close attention to what my body was feeling, and then stand up whenever “it told me to”. I would jot down the time and go back to mixing (still trying to pay close attention to what my body was telling me). I would stand, sit down, stand up, and continued that process, always jotting down the time. After a week I went back and averaged out all of the times and hilariously it was 17 minutes. 🤣 I know we are all physiologically different, but in my case every 17 minutes my body wanted a change. So instead of raising and lowering my desk 10,000 times a day, I just left it in the standing position and bought a drafting chair. Now, whether I am standing or sitting… my head is always within an inch of the same height. For the first month or two I would set a 20 minute timer, but that was years ago; now I am very used to “listening to my body”. And another fringe benefit is that when I’m standing, I can use the drafting chair to plop one leg up on and stretch… so it really makes a nice active work environment instead of being the traditional sedentary engineer. Thanks again for all of your amazing information over the years, congratulations on your beautiful new studio, and also for the big move !!!! I am a drummer first (MI honor grad as well 😉), songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and budding engineer/ producer, so you have been a great inspiration and amazing source of knowledge. Cheers Steve
Nice to see you again....did a great Job. I am moving myself in Austria just the right time to show up again 😅....greetings from a 66 years old dutch guy living in Austria.
Hey welcome back Austin! You're a top shelf content producer and I'm very glad to see you're back at it. If you revisit your Study the Greats series, would you please add Jimmy Branly to your list? Thank you!
Amazing work! I use your guided hand warm up as often as I can and I have to say it makes the difference. If there isn’t one already, it would be amazing to see a foot one as well. Thanks so much for your content.
Last year I seriously considered reaching out to Meinl to ask if they could provide a statement regarding your well-being. Glad to know you were busy getting your acoustic panels level.
Austin, I'm soooo thrilled you're back! You were instrumental for me as a reference when I was working as a full time drummer, especially how you recorded drums and setup Logic. Now I'm a full time banjo player, and still reference your recorded sounds and setups for recording. Your clarity, precision and feel are inspiring. Even though I'm working in the melodic space as a string player, my favorite musicians are STILL drummers...like you! Wishing you happiness and good fortune in your new digs. Much love from Cape Ann, Tommy
