Studio One, Metal and Shepherd s Pie

You may be wondering what Studio One, Metal music and Shepherd's pie have in common. Well, her name is Linzy Rae. Linzy and her band, The Anchor, are the masterminds behind the viral video YouTube series Metal Kitchen. With over 1.3 million views on their first video, and 35K followers on Facebook, they caught our eye-and ear.

Check out her first video The Ghost Inside makes Shepherd's Pie from December 2015.

The Ghost Inside makes Shepherd's Pie from December 2015.

Linzey is the lead vocalist for The Anchor, a Melodic Metalcore band based in Denver, CO. They're also big fans of PreSonus so we figured we could trade them an interview for some Cajun recipes. They agreed and everyone wins!

What PreSonus products have you used and which do you currently use?

The band started out with an Audiobox USB 2X2 with a free version of Studio One 2 Artist. We eventually upgraded to the producer version because we loved it so much. Now we have Studio One 3 Producer.

For what applications are you using Studio One Pro?

We have used Studio One Pro for our first two EPs in my band, The Anchor. We have used Studio one for our entire YouTube channel as well. It has worked great in our home studio.

What led you to choose Studio One? Was it the company's reputation, audio quality, ease of use, specific features, price, other factors?

We originally used it because we needed a USB interface. We were told the Presonus Audiobox 2X2 would be a great start! It came with Studio one Artist and we loved it because of its user friendliness. Also the all the tutorials have been extremely helpful.

Having used Studio One, what do you like most about it?

We love it's user friendliness, compatibility with vst's and plugins. It also comes with great mixing tools as well as the Project Page is such help with some post mixing/mastering things.

What Studio One features have proven particularly useful and why?

The project page is particularly helpful in putting final touches on songs.

Any user tips or tricks or interesting stories based on your experience with Studio One?

Go watch the tutorials and Studio One Experts! It is so helpful!

Any final comments about PreSonus and Studio One?

Studio One 3 is a great expansion to the already awesome Studio One 2 we had previously. We will never switch, and can't wait to see what the future holds for PreSonus.

Tell us about yourself!

I started uploading some covers to YouTube about a year ago. Now we consistently upload covers on a weekly or biweekly basis. We have videos such as Metal Kitchen, Scream It Like A Girl, and Pop Goes Metal.

Where did you get the idea for Metal Kitchen?

We were in the studio and someone was going to order Chinese food for dinner. While I was in the recording booth, they asked me what I wanted to eat and I screamed crab cheese wantons, which created a running joke. Afterwards, our friend made a joke saying that I could write a recipe into one of our songs and people wouldn't know the difference (Since the common opinion of metal music is that you can't understand what the vocalist is saying). Then the idea sort of grew from there.

It went viral-what's that like?

The video completely caught us off guard it was amazing and also scary at the same time. We have never had so much attention on us all at once!

What's next for Metal Kitchen?

We just released a Metal Kitchen about making Black Bean Burgers featuring Miss May I's song, IHE. For the next metal kitchen we are thinking about making Tacos to an All That Remains songs. Metal Kitchens format probably won't change that much but we have a lot of other cool ideas that we can't wait to try out!
