My name is Young Guru,
I'm here on Mix With The Masters.

2
00:12.984 --> 00:17.260
And today, I'll be going over some of the
hardware that's in this beautiful studio,

3
00:17.262 --> 00:19.657
showing you a couple examples
of what it sounds like

4
00:19.659 --> 00:21.113
on some things
that I've mixed.

5
00:21.114 --> 00:23.263
And just giving you
a background of my idea.

6
00:23.264 --> 00:25.217
Not going plug-ins
versus hardware,

7
00:25.218 --> 00:27.602
but just celebrating
the beauty of hardware.

8
00:27.603 --> 00:30.503
So join me today as we dive in
in this beautiful room

9
00:30.504 --> 00:32.378
with all this
beautiful equipment.

10
00:42.291 --> 00:45.538
The things that we can do with this
versus what we were doing

11
00:45.539 --> 00:48.380
with older beat machines
had never been seen before.

12
00:48.381 --> 00:51.610
So this became the centerpiece
of a lot of people's studio.

13
00:51.611 --> 00:56.170
The SP-1200 is a staple in hip-hop,
it is a signature sound.

14
00:56.171 --> 00:58.171
It made us be
very creative

15
00:58.173 --> 01:01.487
because there was less than 10 seconds
worth of sampling time.

16
01:01.488 --> 01:05.105
So techniques were introduced
because of that limitation.

17
01:16.597 --> 01:19.776
This is the LA-2,
this is the original design.

18
01:19.777 --> 01:22.952
So for those that don't know, if you're
dealing with an optical compressor,

19
01:22.953 --> 01:25.946
this is something
that compresses based off light.

20
01:25.947 --> 01:29.030
And I think that's something
that gets confused all the time.

21
01:29.031 --> 01:31.378
When people describe what type
of compressor it is,

22
01:31.379 --> 01:33.763
we are not talking about
the amplification.

23
01:33.764 --> 01:37.077
We are talking about
the way the signal is reduced.

24
01:37.078 --> 01:40.116
How is that being done?
What is the system that we use?

25
01:40.117 --> 01:42.143
That describes
what type of compressor,

26
01:42.144 --> 01:43.967
and that's what makes
this so special.

27
01:49.917 --> 01:52.826
There's a love, there's a reason
why we love these pieces of gear.

28
01:52.827 --> 01:54.896
And I wanted to impart
that love to you guys.

29
01:54.897 --> 01:57.821
So I wanted to thank you
for hanging out with me, for learning.

30
01:57.822 --> 02:00.492
Make sure you watch all
the videos on Mix With The Masters.

31
02:00.493 --> 02:03.026
There's so much information.
You guys can teach yourself.

32
02:03.027 --> 02:06.233
And to become better engineers
this is what we do: we study.
