Andrew Huang

"My desk is also from Ikea and it's nice because I can use it sitting or standing."

Huang proceeds to demonstrate how to increase the desk height, using a button system at the desk's left. Of the two white Bekant sit/stand desks, the left-oriented button system is exclusive to the 63x31 1/2 " version.

In the video "Malbec | Andrew Huang" on his YouTube channel, Andrew Huang uses the Akai Professional MPK49 USB MIDI Keyboard. This keyboard also appears in many of his earlier videos, including "DOUBLE ON GENRE: LATIN + RAP."

Second on the list of Andrew's essentials for the home studio, written out on the linked blog post. On the Apollo, Andrew says, "The Twin is everything I need in an interface right now - great sounding preamps with lots of clean gain, and it powers the UAD plug-ins that I use on literally every project. They've got my favorite vocal compressor (the Teletronix LA-2A), an awesome selection of reverbs, and I've used the Precision Mastering Series to put the final touches on everything I've produced for the last decade."

"Above my desk, the wall has some foam panels. I've also got the same ones on the sealing." At this point in the video, Huang flashes the words "SONEX PYRAMID ACOUSTIC FOAM".

Thanks @genkiinstruments for sending me a Wave ring to check out! Having fun assigning gesture control to whatever I want, using Softwave for stuff in Ableton and (my fave of course) their Wavefront module for Eurorack. 💖 #wavering #eurorack #modular #modularsynth #ad

Whole video uses the Push!

Second on Andrew's blog post for home mastering. Andrew says, "The curves on this EQ just seem to have a very musical shape. I give a boost around 60hz for my low end presence and I like a broad bandwidth lift at 12khz to make things sparkle. Both of these I'll dial in to taste, but on the boost knobs I rarely go above 3 for treble and never above 2 for bass. The occasional mids-heavy track will also benefit from a mild dip at 500 or 700."

From his blog post on home mastering. "This thing can really make things shimmer. While it's capable of much more, I tend to use it to bring out high end clarity and energy when a track is a bit muddled - probably the only instance where I'm using a tool to combat a problem I couldn't or didn't solve in mic'ing or mixing. Usually first up in the chain."

From Andrew's blog post outlining his plug in staples. "The best "character" compressor. There aren't a lot of settings to worry about; you can instantly dial in some rich, thick warmth." Also seen in the linked video if you pause at 00:00 and look at his effect rack. It is however unclear whether or not it is an original or a clone.

At about 3:20 of this studio tour video, Andrew mentions his Native Instruments keyboard ("the 61 key version").
