Hi Mike, I am well and I Pray you are too! Sometimes things that look bad are actually wonderful in disguise...Looks awesome but your ears will tell you the truth in the Product produced! Looking forward to hearing work in the future. Your sharing your life experiences has been mind expanding to say the least. Keep those videos coming! Hugs from Nova Scotia.
I made it to the end, Mike...I also spied your RU-vid plaque/award hiding in your kitchenette! Love your videos....wouldn't be anywhere near (semi-)proficient in Cakewalk if it wasn't for your videos! Keep them coming, my friend.
I saw a 'temporary' vocal booth made of plumbers piping and heavy curtains. From the results on videos they seem to get the job done. I am pleased that you have been able to find such a great space for your studio.
@@CreativeSauce hi Mike, can you please make a video on pc screens that have good resolution and fit content(non resizeable plugins? nicely. Some plugins don't fit
Made it to the end. You and I have a lot of the same gear. I got the Mac studio with some upgrades last year and it’s the greatest thing I’ve done for the studio . Love the videos!
I watched your video to the end✌👍🍟📺👀🧂,just found your channel about 30 days ago and love it,,,you have a dream studio setup,,I just got into making music at the age of 52,, been watch lots of your videos
Made it to the end! Your channel kickstarted me making music again 25 years after leaving the professional studios in Nashville, TN. I've learned a lot from you and try to throw some tips your way now and again. Thanks for all you do.
I love the ART equipment. Gets looked over a lot because it's a lower price point, but their dual compressor and mic pre's are also awesome. I use their compressor and XLR patchbay. That samson patchbay is exactly what I use and it's a beast. Best 1/4' patchbay on the market.
Could you walk us through the process of modifying those TV stands, please? I build panels, baffles, and gobos that vary from wall hanging to self supported stands. Your modifications look intriguing to say the least.
Great video Mike! Love your new space. I made it to the end! Cause it was good, like all of your vids. Keep it up! I send all of my students to your videos as homework.
☺️ Wow, you're setup is a little more than humble, and absolutely mind blowing; 🧐 by the way I noticed you've incorporated a BEHRINGER, sound unit into you're setup but concerned of noise levels when using it. 🤔 Some of your dBu's per other devices may vary differently from the Headphone Amp's. Some are fixed, whatever the case you should try setting them all to around the same dBu range of operation, if so available via a switch in a specified section on the back of the unit, as it might be in most cases. Most BEHRINGER units operate best towards the +dBu range of frequency 😌 👍🏼. I'm running about 4-6 BEHRINGER units with various other manufacturers' and type units with my very beloved PRESONUS STUDIO 192 DIGITAL RECORDING INTERFACE... 😃
Made it to the end! I'll never have the hardware that you've got, as I'm nearly all "in the box", but it's still interesting to see all that gear I'll never touch! Bon voyage with your new studio!
So pleased at how the new studio turned out. It's fantastic. That desk is definitely the star, and considering the vast majority of your time is spent here, it's really important that everyone maximises the size of that desk...width, depth, shelves, sliding drawer etc. A little though and patience here reaps lasting rewards.
Nice work Mike!! A great temporary solution for a vocal booth is to use pvc pipe and moving blankets. While not sound proof, it does reduce reflective sound and works great in small places. Made it to the end of the video!!
Very nice Mr E your new space looks fab plenty of space to swing the cat lol. Every cloud has a silver lining as they say you even look more comfortable in that space well done my friend 😎😎
Congrats, Mike, on your new studio space. Great job! Thanks for sharing it with us and keeping us informed! Many of us depend on your videos for good recording advice and motivation. Cheers!
Straight up, Mike. Glad to see you pulled your work surface and monitors away from that front wall and got some traps put in those corners. I'm guessing you are still kinda cramped toward the back wall where the door is, likely high stepping around power cables for lights and dodging light umbrellas and hoods, etc, so you weren't able to leave enough room for a couch at the front wall, lol. I get it, man, I really get it. You have to balance your creature comforts for the creature that you plan to be in there and, if I'm sure of anything about it, you're definitely in Creative Sauce mode once you walk into that room. Before, you might be sleepy eyed just stubbed his toe cussing the universe and had no coffee yet guy. After, you need to be as relaxed and at home as you can be. Good work. Now, go get some sleep, some EXTRA sleep. You deserve it and you probably f n need it.
Mate, one of the best studio tours ever - well done! Loved the amp stands and treatment hanging solutions - the desk came up a treat too. The "Little Bro" snake is a great touch. Super impressive video - looking sharp man 🤘🤘🤘
Does your lease allow you use adhesives to mount panels? If not, in the kitchen your only option over the countertop might be to build a scaffolding from wall to wall and hang panels from that. 1-inch square tubing would probably work well. Perhaps use those floor-to-ceiling tension rods in the corners and girts between them.
Hi, Mike. I've followed you for quite a while and appreciate everything you do for us. I'm a 74 year old aging guitar player who gave up the single life and raised a family instead of finding fame and fortune as a rock star or something. Now, I'm just playing music as a social outlet with friends, some who play professionally or not. I bought Cakewalk and Sonar, etc a long time and it was a steep learning curve. You have single-handedly helped me in many way. I am well. And good.
Wow! What a dream. Not only the gear and the setup, but the way you have organized everything. So clean and neat. I could move in right away, I wouldn’t change a thing. I love all of your videos, and this was something extra. I don’t have the possibility to arrange my workspace like you, but hey… one can dream… And of course I watch until the end. I always do.
How did you get this done so quickly? Amazing. Also for hanging things like sound treatment on a wall without drilling, have you ever tried 3M Command strips and / or hangars? Amazing how versatile they are and if you follow the instructions you can remove them with no wall damage. All the best.
Mike, as you asked I'm mentioning I watched the whole thing. You've accomplished so much in a very short time period. I really enjoyed the tour and the time spent with many of the main components. One small complaint I was hoping the left & right digital bar meters would receive a mention.
Watched from beginning to the end. Excellent tour Mike. Very cool setup. I currently live in the Philippines and Have the room and space for all that gear but I try my best with the gear I have.😊😊😊😊😊😊
Hi Mike, made it to the end (I always do with your videos) and in my home studio I have a lot less equipment and most of it is reasonably priced but it does the job for me.
Hey Mike, My name is Kenneth Perdue. I enjoy watching many of the videos you have made including this one on how to setup your new Home Studio. I have taken your advice on many of your decisions when it comes to improving and or just learning how to setup different pieces of equiptment used for music production, Please keep up the good work. Love it !!!!!
I use metal studs cut to the size I want and fill them with rock wool. I then cover them with landscape fabric and whatever cloth you want to look at. For a vocal booth you can get the area as dead sounding as you want. You can even place hard surfaces over the fabric if you want to brighten the room up. Metal studs are much easier to work with than wood and they are lighter and easily changeable if want to resize them.
Congratulations! Nice job all around and it's fun to see how this move allowed you the opportunity to make it more ergonomically suitable and visually pleasing, too. The kitchenette might be WAY more useful as a "shop/bench" area. As far as a vocal booth and being a renter, Jim Lill did a video on how he tackled the "leave the walls alone" thing.
Blimey! I have a small keyboard, a few guitars an M-Audio interface and an SM 58. A tour of my 'Studio would take 2 minutes at best! lol Thanks Mike! Great to see you in and eagerly awaiting some new creative sauce content! You have been a huge inspiration to me these past few years! Keep on keeping on!
