    Whoa, that is amazing! You got so much cool stuff, I don't even know what it is! You should put a big lock on that serious! Surveillance cameras and guard dogs! I started daydreaming somewhere, I came back on that pause on the microphone part. I thought that controller thing was really cool and that thing with all the buttons for electronic music. The video was like a Matrix upload, it was really cool at the end you had the red too. Might not be saying it right, but your articulation and narrative is really good. Can't find the words, but my Cybernetics were for sure upgraded, too what extent is to be seen yet still. It's weird seeing videos is like getting to know someone somewhat. I never really thought about that before, maybe I can get to know myself. Thanks for sharing Ailee, I don't know how to make that thing on the e.

    no wonder your videos are so professional. In addition to having great gear, you're also incredibly well ORGANIZED!

    I'd love to see some kind of demo of the "Guitar Wing." What does it do?
    Thank you so much Ed! Yes, I love organization! What gave me away?

    For sure! I'll make a video with the Guitar Wing! It's a midi controller, so I can assign different functions to the buttons and pads to control stuff from Ableton.
    Could be anything I want to program, like effects, or looping or even visual cues. Imagination is the limit!
     
    Awe! Thank you so much William, that is very sweet of you! ☺
    I'm glad this video made you daydream, I stop to daydream too when I watch people's videos that inspire me.
    And don't worry! This room is getting some serious protection!
     
    I feel like I need to go max out my credit cards now !
    Haha, seriously though, wow !!!! Like Ed said, no wonder everything you put out is so well made !!! I love it! You can see how passionate you are about what you do ! You go girl !
    Thank you so much Alicia! I appreciate it!
    Go easy on those credit cards though, this didn't happen over night. 10 years in the making now!

    Holy shit thats actually a pretty sweet setup. Jolene is a beautiful guitar and I approve of you not only owning a bass but displaying it for everyone to see!!

    For real though, the video is really well done. We can pretty much see that you are a pro!

    On a technical note, I really wonder how the clarett sounds like. I have the focusrite 18i8 for my drums and it sounds pretty good for what I need it to be and I always wondered if the clarett really adds something to it..

    But hey also, I dont know how you plan on doing the acoustic of your studio but I just redid my own and had to place a lot of acoustic panels and to cut cost, I did them all at home and it cut the cost by a lot so I definitely encourage you to do the same!

    Thank you so much! Really appreciate it, man!
    I think the biggest difference between the 18i8 and the 8Pre would be the preamps, I've worked with the 18i20 on other people's studios so that's the closest comparison I have to the 18i8. The 8Pre is also thunderbolt and I believe the Scarlett series are USB, so maybe speed would be another major difference

    Thanks for the recommendation, yes! I'm looking at different options for acoustic treatment, it's still gonna be a while till I get around to finishing the studio.

    My mistake, I have an 18i20 and yes I forgot about the thunderbolt. You are probably 100% right! Though my ultimate goal for a studio would be a universal audio X8p... Aaaah well I can dream hehe.

    But yeah good luck with that! If for whatever reason you need help with that, I'd be happy to help! Though you seem to really have everything undercontrol so keep on going!
