It always amuses me when people ask me how I bought all the gear in my studios, because my simple answer always seems to short circuit their brains. I have a job that pays me money. If a piece of gear can make my job easier or help improve my results I'll take that money I make at my job and buy that piece of gear for my job. I never see these people asking a carpenter or a plumber how they bought all of their tools, because that answer would be too damned obvious.

@artisticboundaries 6 месяцев назад

@@SeabornProductions I'll answer the question because I have done both. I funded a huge project studio I had in the late 90's from the proceeds I made from my wireless company and a Guitar Center and a Musician's Friend credit card. In total I spent well over $40K. I bought a lot of rack modules on eBay, but my Mackie board was $10K all by itself. On the contractor side, I flipped the profits from most of my jobs into newer and better tools. I also had a $10K Home Depot card and a $5K Lowe's card to help. I had every tool you could think of and sometimes doubles for my helper. I housed the extra tools and supplies in two adjacent storage units that I rented. The truck was an animal all by itself. You would be surprised how quickly things add up. And to be clear I didn't rent or lease anything. But yes... people ask me all the time about both setups how I bought all of my stuff. I always said "I worked really hard" because in the end it was really none of their business!!! EDIT: BTW I'm in Baltimore.

@WheelieMix 6 месяцев назад

I agree with you. But the analogy doesn’t work. Hence why people are still surprised : Plumbers are essentials. Everybody with a roof over their head may need a plumber at some point. Music producer/musicians aren’t essentials. Not everybody with a pair of ears need musicians or even need to pay for anything music related. Hence why people are still surprised that, despite that, you manage to collect a lot of gear. So kudos to you 🙌🏼.

@tsmberk 6 месяцев назад

Inspiring story. I've fallen prey to jealousy when watching youtube videos. But, really, your story illustrates that with diligence and smart purchases, anyone can build a great studio. Plus, you are grateful. Good video! Thanks. I worked in music stores for over 20 years. One patron gave me a '73 Telecaster (gold sparkle!), a Roland BR8 digital recorder, Danelectro bass and some effects. He was moving to Hawaii and thought I would use this gear. It was incredible- I spoke to the guy a few times, nothing crazy. Your story resonated with me- the kindness of people, those who see your work ethic or willingness to go the extra mile with customers. We sacrifice so much to indulge in our passion- sleeping on cold floors while on tour, eating peanut butter sandwiches instead of hot meals, and couch surfing. Thankfully, those days are long behind. It's great to look back and realize it was all worth it. I hope to give back in the ways you have, Colt.

@nicefish10 6 месяцев назад

Colt it’s people like you that are doing stuff for real and we’re not just stuck in the fantasy of doing it. My story is very similar. I started running sound for bands. I bought a truck to haul equipment, and every nickel I could was reinvested into my gear. Most of the time I didn’t have a girlfriend. I never had a car payment or credit card debt. All of the money I earned went towards equipment, and I kept my life incredibly simple so that I could do that. So here I am, with no debt, a 56 channel Neve desk, $40,000 worth of microphones, and I own the building my studio is in and it’s not in my house… It’s a commercial building that I own. And I’ve had so many people just like you that say “must be nice”… And they have no idea of what it takes. The people that are envious are the people that don’t have the tenacity to do it themselves and they would rather live in fantasyland because it’s easier and doesn’t take real effort. But the people that are doing stuff for real do it for the love of the gear and what you’re able to do with it. God bless you brother.

Never knew that about you Colt. Looks like we both left home at 19 with little possessions and started working at music stores. Music stores were a great way to get into buying recording gear and meeting other musicians. I started out working full time in Manny's music on 48th St in New York City. Changed my life.

I started performing professionally when I was 14 and I was able to put every penny into building my studio. There were periods where I was performing 8-10 sets a week. I even got part-time side jobs in retail to furnish my stage wardrobe, and I’d pick up a shift or two if I ever had any downtime in between sets. I easily spent more time on the road than at home in my studio. It was a serious hustle. I was separated from my friends, my family. I missed Thanksgiving, Christmases, birthdays.

But while still quite driven and blessed with a degree of natural talent for this stuff, I never went hard like this.

Same ! Started playing guitar at 9 (25 now), studies in audiovisual, and now I’m sound tech in TV, a few FOH gigs twice a year and gigs as musician. Invested most of the money back in the music and sound gear. Still a long way to go ! Few things that I keep with me when it’s coming to gear: - Be really clear about your needs, your reality and your projects. Do I need that 2k tube amp or may a 300$ amp sim pedal would work given that I need a lightweight setup? (Works for every piece of gear) - buy trusted gear, aiming for the long run. I just bought an X32, which is crazy overkill for my current needs (1 voice + 1 guitar), but now I can gig with bands, record albums etc (without spending 45 grands on consoles) instead of spending half the money on a smaller console that would not let me do these works + easier to resell - buy second hand !!! It’s ecological, and you can find amazing deals (I spent hours in second hand shops and found some pretty good gear) Hope someone finds this helpful!

Sooooo your a hustler? Dig it! Keep it up dude love your channel been a subsciber pretty much since the beginning. Do you still use a DigiTech TSR-12? I saw it in your rack in a video a while ago and was curious about it.

This was fascinating! So everything you know about recording and mixing came from experience?

I played in a band in the '80s and we had this young kid do our sound mainly hired because he had a lot of equipment and a PA system....I realized that he was learning the craft and I guess he was a rich kid because he had all the latest gear in his rack. A couple of years later he took over a recording studio from a guy who went out of business, a few years later he built a whole studio in his basement....I was amazed that he still had all the cutting edge gear and always wondered how he could afford it....I mean we all know that musicians have no money to spend on recording so they all have to have cut rate deals. He's still in the business and even does stuff for Disney! I used to wonder how he could afford to keep up with the tech as gear becomes obsolete and depreciates pretty fast.
