Andrew Huang

Visible very briefly at 1:38

In this hefty blog post, Andrew discusses his essentials for the home studio. The first item on the list is the SM7B. Andrew says, "I bought this mic before going abroad because a friend of mine was raving about it - in particular, how it was better than anything else at picking up what was in front of it without a lot of ambience from the room. It has since become my favorite mic for vocals and acoustic guitar. The sound is clean and sweet, as long as you have a good preamp..."

As mentioned in this old Tape Op interview, Andrew Huang has used an AT4040 as his "weapon of choice" in the past. It's visible in many of his older videos, too.

Has the same buttons as the NTG4, also has the power symbol indicating it is the NTG4+ model.

"The mic I started with I think was called a Midnight Blues and I think it cost me $80 back in the day and it sounded worse than this thing (points the Neewer NW-800) and I used it all the time." During this quote, Huang shows a picture of the MB 1k.

In 1:24 in this Video you can see Andrew Huang tuning a Ibanez Talman tv650 Electric Guitar. You can see this guitar clearly at 3:12.

At 0:41 and at 1:50 Andrew can be seen playing a natural SG Special. Boyinaband can also be seen playing this guitar at 0:49.

Andrew uses this electric guitar often. One of the videos it is present is on "Making a Song in 59 Minutes" around the 5:00 mark.

He can be seen playing this at 1:28. It's red, Boyinaband can also be seen playing this guitar in several other sections of the song, specifically the "Viking Metal" and "Emo" sections. Andrew can also be seen playing this in the "Math Metal" section, clearest at 1:42.

Visible throughout this video. Its first clear appearance is at 0:05.

"Who has a favorite live looping pedal? I've been on the Electro-Harmonix 45000 for a couple years but I might want to explore other options"

Visible on Huang's gear shelf at 1:46.

At 2:11 in this video, the bass is clearly visible. He's also used this bass in many, many other videos.

At 0:51 Andrew can be seen jumping about with a Jazz Bass. I presume it is a Squier.

Introduced at 7:40.

Visible in a couple of shots, namely the beginning!

7th on Andrew's list of essentials for the home studio. On the OP-1, he says, "This beautifully designed all-in-one synthesizing + sampling + performing + recording device is the most inspiring little tool I've ever worked with. It provides endless sonic possibilities, but also limits you to the kind of workflow that forces you to focus on making musical choices rather than technical ones. Even when you have to do something boring like cut and paste a loop for 16 bars, the shiny graphics and satisfying push-buttons keep you excited to work."

In multiple clips throughout the video, a MicroBrute is seen on Andrew's desk.
