5 things I use EVERY DAY in my Home Studio

[@stealthergolabseating9900]

We love these videos that you explain the product benefits and why we should use them. The fact a product is shiny is usually enough for most buyers but explaining what each product does for the user is crucial as you explain what benefits you like about the product for you. Especially the thunderbolt that has multiple SD ports and how the 1 cable connects everything and charges it as well!

[@Luke_anthony_89]

Just that thunderbolt adapter for me is a game changer!

[@moolattitudes]

The new studio setup is Crisp* . That's EPIC !!!

[@mrmikey127]

Man, I could listen to you talk all day about your tools and studio - great content my friend.

[@DerekSmyth]

As someone who has just had 2 major neck surgeries, lost my job, probably my career, can’t make much music anymore or enjoy doing things with my kids….. a good chair ($400), MX 3, trackpad for your other hand, and an electric height adjustable table would have saved all that heartache. Don’t discount ergonomics and ensure you do a good desk setup with that gear.

[@JamesDLattimer]

Very inspiring video! Thanks for sharing!!

[@alloriginalpirates]

Been using the MX Master 3 for the last year and love it... but have never managed to figure out how to get the horizontal scroll to work in PT... still shifting and vertical scrolling like a right mug.

[@pricedlx]

My Amazon wish lists are pack full of stuff from your studio and studio tour. I think my fave so far has been the cable/headphone hooks. Next up is a similar type of standing desk.

[@jasondewilde5191]

Thanks for that. Particularly like the dock and the chair. What are the wheels like on the chair? I noticed you have wooden floors. Any issue with scratches from the chair?

[@AndrewMasters]

Not at all. High quality casters.

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

How do you organise the cupboards?

[@dwaynebarker2771]

Hi Andrew, I watch your videos everyday! I've learned allot from you and the studios, engineers, and musicians you cover. I find this amazing since I've been a studio musician and engineer for over 50 years. I have had amazing success in my career but as you know we can learn every single day and sometimes even from the newbies. I love how you cover every type of studio as well as some of the most iconic studios in the world. I'm one of the very first musicians to buy and use Sweetwater being from Indiana as my birth state. I have one of the lowest customer numbers in Sweetwater's history so I am a huge fan. I don't want to babble on but I feel like I know you even though we've never met. I just want to thank you and encourage you to keep up the great videos. I would also like to encourage you to show more actual recordings you have done, especially with your wife. I think it's awesome you can make music with her as well. Finally God bless you and protect you as you travel to produce these videos. Dwayne

[@AndrewMasters]

I appreciate it. Check out the playlist called production. A lot of people ask for videos like that but don’t actually click them when they’re published. There are many more to come! Appreciate the support.

[@EdgetoneStudios]

My Mac Mini M1 add-on is a Keychron K8 bluetooth Mechanical keyboard. Love the clicky, full-height keys and cool backlight. Plus without the numberpad it saves space for my Faderport, Atom and trackpad to all fit.

[@BeejayMorgan]

That OWC dock looks pretty nice. What do you do for cable management?

[@AndrewMasters]

Have a killer desk that hides everything lol

[@janbriggs3387]

WOW. WHAT A AWESOME. SET-UP. COOL. REAL COOL !!!

[@bryanmontero]

Super dope new space! Looking good! Which laptop are you using now? A bit curious about if you’re using the new m1 Pro or Max or just the regular M1

[@Truth565]

Thanks for the tip on the thunderbolt dock. That is perfect for my setup. 👍🏾

[@derekdamko]

Look at the OWC Dock with ThunderBolt 4 you can use usb-c to HDMI for your monitors.

[@recordman555]

"Take some notes, Apple." Love it!

[@liamd2198]

Great ideas in this video! I have my monitor on an arm and I actually stuck a small under counter LED light bar to the underside of the monitor that lights up my desk/keyboard, it's also USB bus powered by the monitor.

[@archiebeatz]

The OWC thunderbolt 3 dock is now a must have 😳. Also, the mic stand desktop boom has changed my life. Thanks for sharing brother!

[@NicStride]

Archie's on Andrew's channel? I thought you were meant to be on the beat?... Yuh.. ;)

[@elbiso2004]

My favorite recent purchase was the boom arm for my computer screen, love pulling it up close while editing and having it further back and out of the way while tracking. Great video!

[@stehil1454]

Love you and Colt doing videos!!!🔥

[@Sam-dv3qy]

You gotta try to get over to the Machine Shop while you’re in TX. I’d love to see Machine’s setup on here!

[@willow121212]

Great video. Really want to hear the sound of that kit in new room. Drum sounds in old room rocked

[@willcallahan]

What's the little screen at the top center of the console desk?

[@AndrewMasters]

Tc electronics clarity M

[@fabiodosreis6369]

which one of the chairs to do like better and is a better choice

[@TheMjriley5150]

All are great suggestions, but the ergonomic chair hits home with me big time. I've been dealing with some back issues after a fall last year and my current chair isn't helping. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@ryannicholl9054]

What’s the mini rolling standing desk your monitor and keyboard are on?

[@AndrewMasters]

It’s a standing table on wheels. Amazon, I have a link in the description.

[@siriusfun]

In the midst of ordering a DangerFox desk - just saw your promo code. Very cool! Thanks, brother!

[@calebmoore7549]

Do it! I ordered one in early January! Sadly they're really slow, BUT gotta say I'm very excited! 9-10 week wait hurts but will be very worth it.

[@siriusfun]

@@calebmoore7549 Absolutely! I've been chatting with Aaron this evening and he's apprised me of this, which is actually not bad considering some of the insane lead times I've already dealt with the past year. Thanks, man - stoked! :)

[@andykingproductions]

What is your standing desk? Can you provide a link?

[@AndrewMasters]

It’s linked in the description at the bottom. Standing table on wheels. I think it’s unavailable but there are similar ones up there.

[@superlunar8647]

Wacom Intuous touch pad. The gestures are amazingly good compared to any mouse. And you can use the pen, but it's really good compared to a track-ball / midi controller.

[@kmjansen]

Andrew's new top five list: 1) console; 2) console; 3) console; 4) console; and 5) console.

[@jonnymixeditup]

“Take notes Apple” 😂😂😂😂

[@BjornJenkins]

Saw in one of your previous videos you also care about esthetics in your new room. Then you definitely need to do some cable management on that mic arm. Looks alot like the PSA-1 from Røde . And on that it is possible to hide the cable inside the arm it self, by soldering of the XLR in one end, push the cable trough, and solder it back on . Done that to mine .

[@daylifemusic1864]

I really like your studio design

[@raineruhl1265]

It looks great. A lot of work. Thx for sharing all your ideas! Do you have any link of your cream computer table ?⁉️ love it*

[@DojoOfCool]

I have the OWC Thunderbolt 3 and love it like other OWC products. I just wish they would of put the power connection on the side to make it easy to flip whatever side you want forward. For your use I can see the stock layout is handy. For me I have it connected to my iMac which is hard to get behind to plug things in, so I have the OWC backwards on my desk below the iMac so I easily plug and unplug things as necessary. If the power connector was on the side then it would be easy to flip over to whatever side that works for individual setups.

[@georgemickel6608]

It's awesome to see your progress Andrew! I can't wait to hear some drumming and Pro Tools editing techniques in the new room!

[@danafiorucci83]

Sharemouse software I'm able to share my 1 keyboard and mouse between two Macs and a PC and I can drag and drop files between computers.

[@allenhurt]

Andrew, If your ever in Texas, Check out Audio Dallas, Dallas TX - Paul Osborn and also, Fort Worth Sound, Ft Worth TX - Bart Rose. These are mega studios with huge histories. I have been a recording artist for 45 years and have recorded at both of these studios. Mention my name while your there .

[@jangrimmmastering]

Have the bigger owc hub and it just works. Daily use 24/7 over 2 1/2 years strong.

[@JayBeBerg]

Love the MX mouse! These OWC docks seem ok but have nowhere near enough ports. I just bought a USB hub with 16 USB-A ports. Would really like a similar one with Thunderbolt/ USB-C.

[@bobgulian1858]

I have had spotty experiences with docks in the past (mostly ports getting deprecated fast). I have a CableMatters one now that seems pretty solid. I'd love to see a rack-based one that holds external SSDs too. All these "ergonomical" devices end up dangling by their cables off my laptop. Gonna get that boom, thanks!

[@notlukebenson]

Hey man, word of warning on the OWC dock. I have one and I think it’s fried all the USB-C ports on my 2019 MBP. Just this weekend, as I turned on my monitor it was connected to my last remaining USB C port on the laptop. Flash of white on the external display and no more port on my Mac. I’ve read it’s because the MacBook thinks it has to charge the dock, sets up some kind of feedback. But anyway, be careful with them. Love the vids.

[@AndrewMasters]

Ouch that’s a bummer, I haven’t had any issues over the last year I’ve been using it but I don’t plug my charger in with the hub as it charges on its own. It’s been a life saver for me.

[@BlueJavaTN]

CalDigit TS3 Plus is another option that has worked well for me.

[@R74-b7p]

@@AndrewMasters Is there any lag or latency issues with connecting a interface to that hub? Just curious. Love the channel!

[@1drummer2]

Looking forward to hearing how the new room makes the kit sound and compare to the previous studio.

[@politicallyopinionated]

You should get the Logi MX keys keyboard to pair with the mouse.

[@iSpike]

✨B✨R✨I✨L✨L✨I✨A✨N✨T✨ 👍🏻 I am in the process of upgrading my ManCave Studio and thank you for creating this video. Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺 ✌🏻

[@culturetrash3191]

I’m seriously considering going the laptop route. Was recently able to get a decked out new MacBook Pro with the M1 pro processor that will absolutely smoke my iMac. I can always sell the iMac for more gear 😏😏

[@AndrewMasters]

I'm right there with you.

[@41nr79]

The M1 is really weird with Ableton right now, so watch out for that. For example, all audio effect randomly don’t show up etc.

[@kaislivesoundchannel4706]

A very crucial item I use every day, is my usb powered cup heater for my coffee.

[@GoLongboardBroseph]

3:40 Fantastic.

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

Andrew, could you go over midi 2.0? It’s quite the game changer.

[@harithalfadhil4715]

Andrew why do you use a side table and how does that help in mixing

[@DANBONDDRUMS]

It means you won’t be distracted by what’s on the screen/daw and make decisions with you ears 👂👍🏼

[@drdelewded]

Id suggest the O.C. White Podcast Pro studio mic arm (Its their budget arm, but its killer and cheap) I use a logitech Thumball mouse.. no desk space needed.. ive also used one pro for 10+ years so my thumb eye coordination is killer I have a $2500 Eames office chair.. but id suggest an Aeron because not everyone is design conscious and its the shizzle in office chairs The OWC is great, however its really expensive... there are a number of cheaper options (IF) you don't need TB3 passthrough.. (I'm a macmini for life user have 3 ( 2018 in studio, 2012 theatre comp, 2012 portable tracking studio... I need an M1... waiting on the MM pro first though.. not having any issues mixing in PT Ultimate for TV on my 2018 with video out via a BM Ultrastudio so far.. but im only hitting 30-40 tracks mixing TV Promos and short 5-10 minute sports docs ) That Phone charger is great, I need one.. The battery charger is goofy, you only change the batteries in your mouse every 8-10 months... not worth wasting an AC plug or USB jack for in it your studio. I would suggest a side table or bar cart.. I keep my French press and covfefe mug on it... plus astray and smokes.. best off the desk

[@jordanlotus188]

nice work.

[@JustinTutor]

I purchased some LED up lights from Amazon on your recommendation. I’ve literally featured them in several videos on my channel and I don’t step foot in my studio without turning those bad boys on. Great vid man!

[@foxrobynrec]

Awesome video man

[@arianamastersofficial]

Love this video! Great job :)

[@jedfriesen]

Hey:)) Great content as always!! Could you do a top ten on the most important items to convert a room to a studio space for optimal recording. What are the products treatments or gadgets that made the sound shine for you? Thanks a mundo. Hoping we'll do another facetime in near future. Hack a room!

[@jonathankessler9853]

I want that chair. I can’t afford that chair, but holy shit I want that chair. And the OWC Thunderbolt dock. I’ve used their hard drive bays but didn’t even know about the dock. Love your videos but my wallet doesn’t, thanks for the great video again!

[@MrDeevo]

Your studio looks very similar to Colt Capperune’s!

[@markgueren9633]

HeHe nice!!!! The ONE thing I use EVERY DAY and is not music related is my MUG WARMER!!! keeps my coffee warm...Coffee.... VERY important!! lol

[@steevkelly]

1:06 - obviously not a spell-checker 🤣

[@mozizo11]

LOL, veri nise observetion

[@NicStride]

I like how none of these things had anything to do with recording or music. xD I need a good chair though, forreal. We all spend all our money on gear, and ignore the real stuff. :)

[@scottchamley181]

Bro, awesome! I'm digging all the fantasticism, or whatever. Anyway, its fantastic! I smashed the like button!

[@Funkybassuk]

“Smash comment?” 🤣👍🏽

[@good4sound]

The Thunderbolt dock has been jumping up and down all over the place in price for months. It was once $150. Now 5-6 times that much. Supply and demand?!?

[@martinnadeau1344]

Funny the part where you start talking about your chair, your like "that thing your sitting on right now", I was actually on the John lol, taking a huge dump lol

[@yohs5756]

Dude tour Warren Huart’s studio!!!

[@dragon-id5uj]

You could've convinced me you moved in with Colt Capperune! hah

[@VictorMartinez-wx9vo]

yall a cute buddies!

[@czahstudios2247]

[@anywherenearzero]

Magic Mouse has gesture, that mouse doesn’t

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Take some notes apple. Every time I have to charge my Apple mouse I consider throwing it out the window.

[@patricksimoneau7647]

Why is this usb hub so expensive though 😭😭 I thought I found something to solve all my problems. Instead it only causes new ones.. I need rent money now 😂

[@multimediasecurityconsulti4681]

Toiled Paper ? 🤔😇

So this is basically clickbait for "Here's 5 things I use every day in general"
