Hey guys here is the video we promised last week. We basically just do a quick walk through of our studio and equipment including the Neko and show how we have everything setup. Check out the video and leave comments if you have any other questions. Stay tuned for the Kanye – Love Lockdown making of coming hopefully end of the week, peace..

  • http://www.youtube.com/cbranxproduction CBranx

    1.- The beat at the beginning (that u guys made) sounds great…
    2.-Nice setup, what are those things above the Digidesign 002 rack ?
    3.- if you dont need the motif anymore, you can send it to me if you want :D
    cuz i juststarted to build my home studio (have a Fame KC49 MIDI Controller, QuadCore PC, And a audio interface for now..)
    The motif would be great :P

  • fariahotel

    Producing on Sonar 7, did you guys see the sonar 8 and the V700 interface/controller? and fantom VS synth with the I/O.? Anyways, the Neko is great but as control goes the Gen3 has more to offer hands on esp wit the V4 update.
    M&P you guys know bout KVRaudio for plug’ins?

    Hey any know how on ADAT recording? I haven’t purchase workstation yet, because I really like to record multiple channels at one time but suddenly I was put on ADAT(records 8 tracks simultaneously), I’ve seen it on every workstation from the motif, M3, Fantom but it seems people are styll recording 1 track at a time. LONG STORY SHORT, have you recorded the motif on ADAT cable? and OH YEA… Dimension Pro, Rapture…It would be total EASE to have multiple outputs on those synths instead of 4 elements right? I’m a sonar & cubase user ex-FL Studio(NO hands on automation, but great Midi Editor(piano roll,write chords,scales and pitch bend lfo) Sequencer on the sonar got my attention, DAMN I wrote ALOT.. but what ur fav sequencers or features u like on Sonar?

  • http://myspace.com/wizzyboiproductions Wizzy

    Quick question

    dd u guys pay fo the neko or wer u sponsored??

  • http://www.legaldope.net PhlexRuger

    Yo where can I get that beet maker sun!!!???!!!

    The Legal Dope man!

  • http://www.mystoandpizzi.com Mysto

    dunno about ADAT recording, i think thats old school. We used the motif as a midi controller for software vsts on the pc, so no cable. too many features to name in sonar that we like, overall though is the workflow and comfortability. Waiting for Protools to get there one day maybe!. Cant wait to try out Sonar 8 though, looks pretty good.

  • http://www.mystoandpizzi.com Mysto

    HAHA yea man we had to breathe some new life into that one, too classic to forget, gotta keep the Beetmaker Alive!

  • http://www.mystoandpizzi.com Mysto

    google it man!!! hehehe, here i’ll help: http://www.futureproducers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=169971

  • http://www.mystoandpizzi.com Mysto

    still working on it

  • http://www.mystoandpizzi.com Mysto

    nah havent seen sonar 8, its out already? didn’t even know, will check it out. Never heard of V700 controller and no dont know KVRaudio plugins although they do sound familiar, will check it out, thanks!

  • http://www.mystoandpizzi.com Mysto

    its a Neumann TLM 103, not sure if there is a different upside or down, as long as its in front and not sideways or something. Booth is probably better as far as acoustics, but alot of stuff we’ve done lately was cut in our room and is making a major album, its really all in the mixing. Just use good headphones while recording so there is no bleeding.

  • http://www.mystoandpizzi.com Mysto

    if you dont know by now it was actually a joke started on futureproducers.com. :)

  • http://www.mystoandpizzi.com Mysto

    nah hehe keeping it as a collectors item

  • http://www.mystoandpizzi.com Mysto

    above the digi is Triton rack, Fantom rack and a MoPhatt rack. We used to use them back in the day, they’re not even plugged in now. And motif aint for sale lol.

  • c3

  • Pete drow

    you guys still in school? how do you manage all of the recording biz stuff and school at the same time?

  • http://www.mystoandpizzi.com Mysto

    We were in school, but past 2 semesters we’re off cause we’re working extra hard. But we were still doing 4-5days of work a week with school, just had school early from like 9-2pm, then work till 8-9pm, it gets hard but not impossible.

  • chaot1K

    Hey, what kind of audio interface do you guys use. Thanks.

  • http://www.mystoandpizzi.com Mysto

    For production we use the one built into the Neko, PreSonus Firebox, you can see it in the video, on bottom left of the neko. We use Protools Digi002 when doing vocals.

  • pina225

    I just discovered you guys at work and im goin bananas!!!!
    Would you be able to put that writing beat back up to download? I know that was last year but I just saw that clip today haha. Keep up the good work, you got a new fan!!!!

  • http://www.mystoandpizzi.com Mysto

    yea we can put it back up, i’ll see if i can do it later on tonight, i thought it was still up.

  • MarkusLö

    Hey guys…

    …I am from switzerland and I am a big fan of you guys and today i discovered that my little daughter (2 years old) likes your remix of britney spears too…she started to dance!!!…lovely…later on the radio they played “Shine on” of R.I.O.!…for me one of the best “Gute-Laune-Lied” (means: good-mood-song) ever…I think this would be a perfect song to remix!!!…would be very cool…
    Greetings from the land of the mountains…

  • Gene

    Do you mind if I ask you a question?

    Since I just found you guys yesterday Im curious on some things;

    How did you get discovered? Obviously you guys are really talented and should get all the success that has come to you, but alot of talented people dont make it. Did it start out like you guys would post a video on youtube showing how you made a beat and someone like jive heard it? Or did you just send your work out to whoever would hear it?

    Thanks for your time, keep up the good work

    Gene

  • Gene

    Oh by the way, when you go on the writers page and click “download” it says “there is nothing on this page”.

    Is the track somwhere else? I love that track and I think I could really do some good things with it.

    Gene

  • http://www.mystoandpizzi.com Mysto
  • http://www.mystoandpizzi.com Mysto

    Just put it back up, go check it again

  • http://www.mystoandpizzi.com Mysto

    We never really got discovered, we just kept doing our thing. We’ve been working a long time before the whole Youtube video thing, building connections and relationships with labels like Jive, Sony, etc. Youtube videos just took everything to another level for us :)

  • idk47gp

    After the setup, and Mysto began making the amazing intro beat. I was wondering if you two could make a trance spinoff with that intro?

  • Daniel

    ey ! =)
    sorry if I write some bad english now , but i’m just a little kid from norway , haha !
    just have to say that you two are amazing !
    I look at you videos every day almost and after that I just have to play my keyboard .
    I like the one you prodused for R.Kelly the best , just fire fire !
    have bought me a Motif XS 8 myself !
    but some questions :
    1. how much does the Neko cost ?
    2. how long have you two been producing and played piano ?
    3. do you use just the sounds in the Motif when you use that ?
    hope you can answer me !:)
    and one more thing , why don’t you ask some famous Hip Hoppers or RnB singers to spit on something , you have earned it !!
    peace

  • Skinz

    im just wondering how you guys feel about sonar as your sequencer now..

    i just recently made the decision to go with sonar 8. i was gonna grab the full cubase but the whl dongle idea swayed me…

    i just want to know how u guys like working with sonar vs. the motif sequencer. and have u guys made use of the cloning feature yet on the neko?????

  • http://www.mystoandpizzi.com Mysto

    Well we’ve been using Sonar as a sequencer for like 4-5 yrs now, so yea its always been our main sequencer. We never used the Motif sequencer, ever. We used to sequencer all the motif sounds on sonar. But yea overall we love sonar, it gives us a very comfortable environment to work in. Havent got SOnar 8 yet though, how is it?

  • http://www.mystoandpizzi.com Mysto

    1. Price & Info: http://www.openlabs.com/timba-overview-neko.html

    2. Been producing for like 5yrs now, playing piano since little.

    3. No we dont use Motif sounds, we used VSTs with the motif, motif was just a midi controller hence why we switched to the Neko which is all VST/Software based.

  • Skinz

    ohh word my bad yo… i just saw another video where u were using the motif so i gues i just assumed u were using its sequencer.

    As for sonar 8 …. it should be here soon still. i have been rockin cubase for a minute. the LE version and cracked versions…. i refuse to use bootleggs anymore (too many problems) i started to look at geeting the full cubase 4 but decided against it after looking into sonar.

    and yeah i didnt know about that website either i’mma check it out just now still good looks!

  • DJ beat-N

    hey!
    sorry for my bad english, im a producer from israel.

  • http://redjoy.blogspot.com David Redjoy

    Damn y’all is crazy man!
    Luv yer sound & style!!
    Holla at me when u want some dope lyrics, I the man for that aight! ;)

    PEACE

  • Jayyy

    Hey guys , really enjoy your stuff. I noticed you guys have some multiple racks apart from the digi002 and was wondering what type they were and if you guys use them. Thanks

  • Shahir

    Hi Mysto,
    I’m doing a mix cd at the moment. Your remix of Love lockdown is at the beginning of the mix.

    However, after listening to the whole mix again, it seems that love lockdown lacks a bit of high end?
    At first, i thought it was because of a low quality version that i downloaded but then i downloaded from your website. It’s still the same.

    D’yu have another version with more high end?

    Thanks
    Shahir from Australia

  • Stinaxxx

    Yo what up ya’ll, love ur music and website its a great idea but i got a ? for ya, why u using the firebox if you got the neko now? I just bought it(firebox) but it wont install proper n custy service sucks so i was gona return but now i see ya;ll use it i want to keep it lol luv!

  • Dion

    just wondering what VST’s you actually use i cant find any good ones… I used to own the miko tim4 but never liked it maybe i was doin it wrong….but excluding neko plugins what did you use before when you guys had the motif up for midi ?

  • Dion

    what plugins do you use i cant find any good ones.i only got fl studio sounds LMAO im switching to sonar soon i bought version 7 but never used it.best of luck on your journey in the music industry your beats are insane and i wish i could afford one LOL

  • Jiggitnaz

    i just read somewhere that this is in fact a FAKE VST… there aint no such thing like this out.. which works for real, and the demo MISTO n gave already had one of their own sounds in there??

  • Maxrenaud91

    Hey guys, are you using Cubase or Reason?
