Hey, I'm Mike Schmid. I play keys for
Miley Cyrus, The Chainsmokers,
Troye Sivan and others.
I’ve been producing, mixing, mastering,
writing music for over 25 years professionally.
And when I first started doing it, out of college,
I, you know, I didn't really have any gear.
And I asked my friend, like,
what kind of studio monitors I should get.
And he was like, you should get some Mackies.
Because they're super sturdy,
they're inexpensive, they sound great.
I was like, okay, cool.
And I, for,
what was a splurge for me at the time,
I spent like four or five hundred bucks for the pair,
and I got myself a pair of HR824s, and
they're literally still here to this day.
They are a major part of my studio setup.
And honestly, I don't know
what I would do without them.
Because they sound incredible.
They're super detailed.
I know that I can trust what I'm hearing from them.
And also, like all the other Mackie products
I've ever used, like the Big Knob,
I've used the line mixers, the rack mixers,
when I've played live with Miley and...
I just, I know that if I buy something
with that little Mackie man on it,
I know that it's going to be super durable,
and last me for a long time,
and sound great and feel great
and, like, it's made of high quality components.
And so I just trust them.
It's like one of the only brands
that I can just blindly trust.
So I love my Mackie monitors,
I love my Mackie everything.
I even had a little mixer when I was in...
high school, in my little band.
I had a little Mackie mixer and
I don't know where that thing is, but I know
that it still works (laughing)
wherever it is. Because it's Mackie.
Anyway, thank you guys for all the amazing products.
