Подробнее о видео

Today is the 17th anniversary of the launch of my YouTube channel! Thank you for celebrating with me! Here's the link to the Google Pixel phone commercial that I was in that aired during the Grammies in 2017 (watched by 26 million people) right after the tribute to Prince, who had recently passed away. ("Tributes by You" from the Droga5 Google Pixel campaign)
My original "Nothing Compares 2 U" video with Scott Slusher:
Mike Massé streams live acoustic classic rock covers from his extensive repertoire, including some live requests. “Cover the music, cover the world.” Your tips are appreciated! ❤️ PayPal: Venmo: Cash app: @mikemassemusic Superchat/tipped requests will be given first consideration.

Audio/Video Gear:
The audio interface is a Universal Audio Apollo x8p, running UAD plug-ins (emulations of classic compression, EQ, modulation and reverb). The video camera is a Canon Vixia HF G70 running into a Blackmagic Design UltraStudio Recorder 3G (converts HDMI to a thunderbolt signal) into my MacBook Pro, which is running Wirecast Pro (video switching) with Titler Live Social (onscreen graphics). I use the Loopback Audio app to send the desired Apollo output channels to Wirecast Pro.

My guitar FX chain is a Roland GR-55 guitar synthesizer (you can see the GK-3 midi pickup on the face of my guitar), into a Line 6 HX Stomp, into a LR Baggs Venue pre amp (used mostly for the tuner and the boost button for fingerpicking songs). My guitars are a custom Ovation Custom Legend (made in the USA) and two Ovation Adamas MD80s. They built them for me, since I am an Ovation-sponsored artist (). My microphone is a Shure KSM8. I use the OnSong app for my chords and lyrics charts on my iPad. I use Black Mountain thumb picks.
