Online tutorials and help videos

There are many places online to gain useful information about recording, mixing and mastering.
there are also many places online to gain useful information about certain pieces of hardware and software.

I thought i would share some of my favourite sites and youtube channels.

1. The Recording Revolution
http://www.youtube.com/recordingrevolution - This guy (Graham) is amazing, he has a great knowledge base and doesn't only show you the top end equipment so the videos that he creates don't feel like they are out of the reach of a beginner/home studio user. Graham also has a website with the same name www.therecordingrevolution.com.


2. PureMix Tutorials
http://www.youtube.com/ThePureMixTutorials - Again this guy (Fab Dupont) is amazing. he along with some guests from his studio in NY give you an insight into the recording, mixing and mastering process at their studio. Fab works alongside an array of manufacturers including Universal Audio and Dangerous Music to promote their products. Although he promotes their products he uses their equipment by choice in his studios.  Fab also has a website with much the same feel as the youtube channel, although some of the content costs (60% free, 40% charge on the website)  - http://www.puremix.net/



by coincidence the two owners of these channels sat down at gearfest this year and Graham from The Recording Revolution interviewed Fab Dupont from Pure Mix and Flux Studios (NY) and what a great interview this was.


And last but not least 4. Pro Tools Expert 
http://www.youtube.com/airusersblog - This Guy (Russ) focuses on users of Pro Tools and Pro Tools Plugins. He has some great content and gives you some really useful tips and tricks to gain sounds similar to those from current hit records.  Russ also has a website focused on the same aspects as the youtube channel - http://www.pro-tools-expert.com/.

Studio

Hi guys,
We have started the studio install, run the two snakes into the recording room and we have done a preliminary setup of the desk, racks etc before acoustic treatment and final testing.
The computer monitor will be mounted above the desk along with a second one. Here are a few pics of the setup in progress.
