Epic HOME STUDIO Setup 2022 | Tony Anderson (studio tour)

[@TonyAndersonMusic]

Our hands created the perfect cupped pop when you came into the house. I had forgotten that. It’s the sign of a lifelong friendship when that happens. Going to add reverb to that sound right now.

[@AndrewMasters]

Maybe a non-lin would be good for that. Thanks for the 'spro, and the great hang.

[@pricedlx]

I want you to know I bought my LCD- XC due to your video. Best purchase ever. And the microcosm is so amazing. You could spend years and not exhaust its abilities

[@lmrecordings]

Great inspiring video and studio tour you both rock!

[@BeauStephenson]

Once you pop, the fun don't stop.

[@watchtheskies]

Tony, you had me at 'satisfying knob travel'

[@SinnanFazwani]

This is probably the best studio tour video on your channel. Really enjoyed the commentary and absolutely love his sense of humour!

[@AndrewMasters]

Wow, thanks!

[@blankspace0000]

Tony Anderson is the most chaotic person who makes the most chill music.

[@darkcognitive]

Inspiring stuff, I’m 43, and just about to build my first home mini studio, since my oldest son has moved out, the younger kids are moving rooms, finally leaving a tiny room free for me. There is very limited space and i have loads of gear stacked up in boxes waiting to move it all in and set it up (waiting for it to be painted and new carpets go down). Watching this video makes me extremely jealous of the space, the gear, the quality , the amount of synths, the vintage synths….urrrgh…..but at the same time I’m thankful that I’m going to be able to enjoy even just a small fraction of that in my own space now. I will be moving to a much bigger house in the next couple of years, and will finally have a dedicated space for my music, so will definitely come back to watch this video in the future for inspiration. Oh and that COFFEE MACHINE!….. I can smell it from here!.

[@AndrewMasters]

Tony is one of the most fun people to hang out with and I think i’m going to have to get at least 2 synths now.

[@liambate2301]

You should buy a nice analog synth like the prophet 10 or oberheim obx8 as their strong character really brings out ideas. I wouldn't recommend digital modelling synths as they sound fake and have no character. The analog ones are quite expensive but based on the rest of your studio it looks like you can afford it ;)

[@MrLanka-ud8wl]

Synths are a big rabbit hole, but I suggest getting one monosynth and one polysynth. I use a Moog Sub25 for bass and a Prophet Rev2 for chords and pads. The Novation Peak is also a good buy if you want a different, more modern character as it's a hybrid with digital oscillators and an analog filter. It's not for everyone, some people hate it, but I think it sounds very cool and different.

[@Terrible_Peril]

a couple of solid physical synths are worth their weight in gold, but I'll be honest- I use the software synths on my iPad INFINITELY more than any of the actual units I've got at my disposal.

[@theveiledcreature]

Can't go wrong with Moog or Sequential.

[@ScantlessBeatz]

I hit like before the videos play.

[@EposVox]

Ayyyy a fellow Kentuckian

[@DaneBryantFrazier]

You visiting this dude in his studio should be a tradition lol. You two are awesome and the dude gives off the best vibes and is darn hilarious.

[@jloy81]

Most good thing is the Mezcal up there...Love it!

[@BeejayMorgan]

I love how much he knows about his gear, and how much he knows he still has to learn. Going to subscribe to Tony's channel now. Thanks for sharing! My takeaway here is that I really need a CLK GTR model on my desk.

[@DavidJoelMoffitt]

This is my favorite tour you've ever done on the channel. I would totally hang out with this guy. His point about you inspiring musicians is spot on. I built my home studio after being sick and watching your channel. I keep coming back for more inspiration. Great stuff Andrew.

[@BlackMan614]

I love how he keeps his synths on racks, then moves them over to his main desk to play. That makes so much sense. 1) You are always facing the speakers when playing. 2) In front of the computer/keyboard to easily punch in/out. 3) being able to sit and concentrate. I'm thinking of mimicking this. Just brilliant idea.

[@TonyAndersonMusic]

Man, I love doing it for the same reason you mentioned. Right in front of the studio monitors. The sound quality is the biggest part for me.

[@HiredGoonage]

I do this with 100w guitar amp heads and a Torpedo Studio. With something tactile you need it right in front of you. The downside is that some of these things are bloody heavy.

[@DaftFader]

This is the exact same reason I'm starting to go analoug. .... The shoulder pain from RSI with mouse use is a killer man!

[@MidnightBlueMetallic]

$35k on studio monitors, $16k on a pair of condenser microphones, etc tells me this a home studio that is only a home studio because it happens to be located in a house; The gear is beyond most home studios. Nice setup though!

[@TonyAndersonMusic]

The gear was not that expensive. I know the guy who bought it.

[@GabriDeSouzaPerez]

My question is: how do you know the guy who bought it?? Hahahahaha

[@StefanMichaels-ut9jg]

If your dad a doctor?

[@valeriolapiana6643]

Best video I've seen on your channel bro. We're all nerds. We're all weird people that gets excited about hanging cables on a wall and other weird things like that. And I love that. But this guy is able to be that and at the same time "I'm not gonna wait until I'm 80 to start enjoying the quality of life" 41:35 .. sorry but that is just so right that I felt it had to be pointed out. Focus, passion, practice, gear etc is all great, but damn right let's enjoy life. Now, if this is not inspiring I don't know what should be. Thank you for all your content and for keeping me and many others inspired! Love from London UK!

[@Justshredman]

Freaking love Tony Anderson. Such a normal down to earth person. Makes his music that much more meaningful.

[@StefanMichaels-ut9jg]

Blah blah blah

[@yashark1893]

I dream about a day I realize @Tony Anderson has created a masterclass. A deep dive into his mind and approach to creation. Please please please please please.... Consider It. I would give all my time and energy to help make it happen and when the project is done, I will buy a copy of it.

[@Theophanes68]

Amazing studio tour, one of the best yet! Tony interjects the perfect amount of humor and self deprecating humor to keep things light, but make no mistake about it, this is a highly specialized setup by someone very intent on becoming a master of their craft and honing their skillset in a way that is reflected by the way the studio is setup and gear choices, and there is some absolutely killer gear in that studio, the piano corner sounds so warm and vibey, just beautiful!

[@nentihaiudittu]

Such a cool and fun guy, really enjoyed this video.

[@JacobGurevitsch]

Thanks for a great tour!

[@mariobozinovic3082]

Such an inspiring studio tour, not just about gear, but of Tony as fenomenal human being.. so polite, inteligent and life loving guy.. Hat down for both of you..

[@Kharrari]

This dude is a vibe.

[@demetriforakis]

Tony is the best. Been listening to him since I watched “The Heart Of Man” Go to the ends of the earth Tony

[@andyrose2158]

Thanks!

[@AndrewMasters]

Appreciate it!

[@BloopsnBleeps]

This man has changed my life with his music. Can't thank you enough

[@marvinpv]

one of the two best studio tours you done! great!!

[@kobi-kobsen]

Very nice tour, nice people, good inspiration. Thank you.

[@davidalbrec]

I can’t even with the blower thing. I’ve done compressed air cans, I bought a small air compressor….. I saw one of those things on Amazon and got it as a Christmas gift, and I’m very much feeling I’ve made a good choice. But now with the brush and the technique. ::chefs kiss::

[@kumosworkshop]

As a woodworker and starting music producer, I am absolutely in LOVE with this desk and rack. This room has so much inspiration in it, it's crazy.

[@TonyAndersonMusic]

Monkwood!!!

[@kumosworkshop]

@@TonyAndersonMusic I will definitely come back to this video for inspiration whenever I'm gonna make my future desk.

[@murraywebster1228]

Good video, couple of friends just having a chat about their common loves in life, that’s how should be

[@jenslempke7883]

That black Andromeda looks stunning!

[@markallen381]

A very nice set-up. Out of my main interests though. I like the Yamaha PSR series of keyboards, but my main interest is guitars and recording.

[@TheK391]

cool studio, and great content. keep it coming

[@AndrewMasters]

Thanks!

[@halcyondaystunes]

Have to agree that Tony's music totally chills me out too. I am in awe of anyone who can produce music like his without any training. Whenever I feel low I put on his music and it lifts me every time. This is an awesome video. Humble and nice guy. Reminds me a little of BT

[@chamberfield1]

Great to see a studio tour of an ambient artist! I learned a ton.

[@kanjastudio7076]

I'm bad at English, but Thank you for thees vojages throu all thees studios. With love and passion, H

[@ScantlessBeatz]

Hands down @Andrewmasters content inspires me personally every time.

[@AndrewMasters]

Thank you!

[@andremelo246]

Tony is literally my favorite composer of all time. I'm inspired by his work and also inspired by his lifestyle. Amidst the craziness in life, this guy is loving his family, loving his friends, loving his work. I thank God for your life, Tony. May everyone be inspired by your simplicity. Thank you, Andrew for this amazing tour.

[@edgodsall3740]

My fave studio tour on your channel…

[@BeauStephensonVoiceActor]

I love the nose whistle when he first starts playing. So soothing. Seriously though, this is such a fun video. What a cool dude.

[@mrbigmac551]

Hands down, some of the most wholesome and inspiring content

[@SkilledMusician]

Great studio! Would anyone happen to know the name of the monitor controller Tony uses?

[@AndrewMasters]

Grace design m905 stereo

[@SkilledMusician]

@@AndrewMasters Thanks for the quick reply! Keep up the great work!

[@hudsoncraftworks]

This was fantastic. I really appreciated the story behind selecting each piece of gear. Anyone can go buy a bunch of stuff and wire it up, but to hear how Tony literally went through hundreds of mics to find just the right set...just very impressive. LOVE the wood furniture too. Everything in the room. Thank you!

[@xchump]

10:28 "...and then I actually just watch what they do and take notes" - hahaha love it!

[@i_make_sounds]

Dude. Thank you for this. I have a similar ritual to Tony, whenever you put out a new video I'll watch it pretty early in the day as I'm starting out with my (work from home) day job and it's so inspiring to hear about other people's paths in music, their workflow and personalities. With Tony especially, his approach to making music, relating with people and remembering why they listen to his music or watch his videos in the first place is incredibly grounding. It's things like this that help me remember why I ever started making music in the first place. Thanks so much for this, you guys.

[@AndrewMasters]

Appreciate it, thanks for checking it out.

[@ASAPJermz]

Beautiful guys! WOW I can only dream of having a studio like this one day 😊

[@chaputmi]

Brandon, made me desk too. He’s an awesome dude for sure. Recommend him to anyone watching.

[@ZachWirchak]

🔥Half way thru and loving it. I stumbled across Tony and his music last year when he posted his studio tour. Happy to see the two of you kicking it!

[@josefplager]

Your studio tour videos are always so much fun to watch!

[@AndrewMasters]

Thank you!

[@teedybear391]

This was The best episode . You guys talk on a level which gets to peoples hearts

[@cyclehavenbanks9851]

I was listening to your fields of green track and was thinking, ahhh that must be Noire from Native instruments but you have a real piano!

[@distortion_plus]

Came for the studio tour, stayed for the coffee nerding! One thing worth mentioning because I hear people say it now and again. When Tony says ‘Coles 4038s are noisy’ - they are passive, so they don’t make any noise at all. They’re low output/sensitivity so if you’re cranking your mic pre gain you’ll notice any noise present in the preamps. The active part of the AEA44s is increasing the level so the preamps can stay out of the noisy range. You could use a cloudlifter/fethead etc to get a similar result. The AEA44s are insane mics though and plenty of reason to use those regardless.

[@TonyAndersonMusic]

Totally spot on. The difference is the Cole’s recordings were still very noisy even with cloud lifters or soyuz launchers. Different preamps over the years with the same noisy results. RIP 4038s. They had to go! Especially for my style of music where the instruments are exposed at all times.

[@Jeremy_Kinsey]

I haven't been on the channel for a bit, this one slipped past me last year & is now one of my favorite tours you've done! Much love, cheers ~

[@ChrisWilliams68]

Absolutely loved the setup, but appreciated his attitude on enjoying life even more. Nicely done.

[@robingrant1965]

Love your studio the best! Love the desk!🫶🏾

[@ouvi]

one of my favorites

[@elimgerman]

Inspiring Room. Reminds me of Christian Henson's shed...the permanent fixed space pair on the piano is a must for quick and seamless composition. Its like shoes...if they're difficult and annoying to get on your feet every morning, you will never wear them. Find the path of least resistance and allow your ideas to flow.

[@TonyAndersonMusic]

So true!!! I love Christian’s channel

[@contemplativecomposer5983]

Thanks Tony, you have given me a huge shift in perspective. I loved what was said about Quality, less music, more time spent! And thanks Andy, great channel, loved the interview. I started following Tony back in 2014 ish.

[@dugganater]

I've watched 3 of these tours today alone and there has been an espresso machine in all of them.

[@timalright]

they are all espresso junkies, revealed

[@tyrelsjohnson]

this is so inspiring in so many ways. just creating a space that's unique to you, enabling an incredibly creative experience every day.

[@elliotjamesmulhern]

always love these studio tour, Andrew! hope you're enjoying being back here in LA!!!

[@scottkorber]

I've never heard of this guy in my life, but I love him. I feel like we would be friends.

[@cowwhisperer8927]

Same for me. I know he's my friend even though I dont know him 😄

[@jobbel6513]

The dust gun is a absolute MUST for me! Gone are the days of manual pumping!

[@echoesandnoise]

Been listening to his music since 2014... Amazing person and musician

[@balisaani]

Super cool space - great philosophy, great choices, and great gr/attitude. Respect.

[@durtcannon]

Cool dude, cool studio. I liked that he was funny and relaxed before going into to studio and then suddenly turned into working mode/ pro.

[@corneliushhh7148]

Hi Tony, you prayers has been answered. There is a TRIGON 6 by Sequential. Polypohonic synth with PRO3 ladder filter :)

[@mtnoblesavage]

My fav episode so far, love his humour and his way of thinking, great room and that piano setup is awesome, being a synth nerd myself I love his choice of them, after this I'm going to check him out, I'm getting into ambient myself so keen to have a listen to his work, you guys are so inspiring and proves that these studio's are definitely doable, thank you both for the inspiration, massive respect so cool

[@AndrewMasters]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@martincaz7772]

OMG the dust gun !!! YES please, that's what I need!!!

[@bennethos]

Very inspiring video and also listened to Tony Anderson’s albums in the meantime. Subscribed

[@od628]

I haven't even watched this, and I already smashed that like button! With authority, too. Tony is the best. Dammit.

[@Map.OfTheWorld]

So inspiring, love the piano setup and workflow with one keyboard connected ata a time, and the cable free keyboard stands. I need to get a similar dust gun and brush. Such a clean and creative workspace.

[@Curtis-C]

his piano playing is insane. His set up recording is remarkable

[@ChristianIce]

Actual coffee. I like the guy alredy.

[@pmfont]

This might be my favorite studio tour video you've done! I'm just now discovering his music -- lovely stuff -- and what a funny dude, too!

[@besthusky3852]

Best home studio route and here is WHY: I'm glad I finally lived to see a host who knows his place at home not in "A" / "B" or 1/2...) Invest on that that you are the best and leave the rest for the bests!

[@dropshadow1932]

What a cool interview. Just checked out Tony's music, really awesome. Great space, would love a little space like that. He's got some really juicy outboard, great synths, clean space!

[@in_10z]

One of my absolute fav studio set ups and I've seen many. Man I love the 2-channel hyper focus philosophy.

[@siriusfun]

Great energy and cool space. He definitely doesn't need espresso.

[@AndrewMasters]

🤣

[@andersanderson9121]

Dude the whole vibe of this place is so insane this guy living my dream tbh xD

[@DaveHickox]

Like you said Tony is a fun guy and I learned something great the brush and air blower. I'm going to check it out now! Thanks

[@zanewilliams9095]

Hi Andrew. My name Is Zane, I've just got into the music industry, and your episodes of tours and equipment has just been a major inspiration for equipment and creating music. Thanx so much and God bless

[@GuitarJesse7]

Love the part watching humming birds. They are an amazing creation.

[@dag221]

This was the most entertaining KZbin video I've seen in a while. Thanks also for introducing me to Tony's music, it's going to be quite the journey getting to discover it all.

[@seangregory8177]

Wow, there's a lot more under the hood here than what you'd think. Great tour! And what Tony said is 100% spot on with regard to your channel being a great source of info and most of all, inspiration. Thanks for doing what you do!

[@jolymusique]

Tony is awesome, this video was great and it's true that your videos inspire me to play and write and at least get in the studio and improve workflow. Keep it up man!

[@AndrewMasters]

Appreciate that!

[@kwekut6448]

the light color combination in this studio outro got man. its sick ....so dope the mauve/ violet light blend with the white Background and those green plants with a touch of black from the equipment , yoo its cool

[@DweedleDeeDweedleDoo]

Immediate coffee geekery is a fantastic tone setter

[@timalright]

watching this while building my little home studio in Moscow with a budget of about 500 dollars (all the essential gear like pc, monitors, mic, etc. is already here, I am copping some furniture and parafernalia), and this video is a huge inspiration for me, a visual goal of where I'm supposed to get in some time. Even though the exchange rate is fucked up and every thing that's imported costs a couple times more in Russia nowadays, I know it's possible.

[@n3utr0n3]

This was lit, TA is intuitive to detail about his gear and discipline. Great content!!

[@erictimothyanderson7469]

Tony Thanks you for the praise to Andrew, this is why I just subscribed today!!!

[@AndrewMasters]

Tony is the best. Thanks!

[@frenchthomasmusic]

This is the best video about how to make an expresso I’ve seen

[@alleyway3215]

I like that you guys have your shoes off. No shoes in the house, especially in the studio!

[@BlakeOllenberger-w9d]

45:05 I watched your video, dust gun😆

[@BlakeOllenberger-w9d]

🤮🤧
