Fun fact the ambience playing just eminates from Devin's body at all times

[@Liz-cmc313]

Because He is God

[@OnaCirerer]

Lol.

[@Thidavann_Soth]

FROM his *Soul.*

[@interstellish]

@@Liz-cmc313 only as much as the average living thing is

[@dasg.1925]

🤣🤣🤣

[@papawook]

The amount I would pay just to quietly watch him work. Efficiency and pure musical excellence

[@oldGnRrocks1]

he did a video with toontrack where he showed the process of writing a song that ended up being on one of his albums. its 2.5 hours.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHPbq6Vvo8R7gZosi=ASoYgDRtqVtsUE68 so, how much were you willing to pay? xD

[@snail415]

I’ve kept up with Devin since City. To see how much he’s accomplished…and to see this dream studio come to-life…brings a lot of joy to me. He deserves so much more, but is too efficient to notice. Love it.

[@grtech667]

This studio is the balance between DIY and hi-tech -- love it!!!

[@ericasw28]

Totally looks like the cosiest spaceship

[@AudiophoolDeBunkHunter]

Beautiful, simple, human, humble .... As you are. Nothing else to add.

[@timb350]

The ultimate Devin Townsend man-cave. So happy to see...such a great dude...have something that he truly enjoys.

[@rlm4471]

It's a studio, not a man-cave.

[@christopheborhoven9267]

For sure the Dev Lab seems to be a real paradise for a little amateur musician like me. A dream ......

[@thelukephone]

Devin is just the coolest dude ever. Everything in this studio is setup perfectly for immediate capture of ideas, and is still kept as absolutely simple as possible. If I could get my stuff sorted out, it would be so easy to get ideas recorded quickly. I find that half the time I forget what I was inspired to record, because it took so long to get everything setup to go! Edit: Heck.

[@margam_music]

I have exactly the same experience!

[@BobHewittMusic]

Wonderful studio, thanks for the tour!

[@spark4039]

It would be an honor to record even just one song with Devin 😊

[@wesphilbin]

Thank you brother, for sharing your space with us...

[@TheRealReTox]

Looks like an ideal space to be creative with as few distractions as possible. Yep, I could spend hours in there working and not even know the time had passed. Brilliant.

[@lowenbad]

Devin, I am almost 50, and you have the career that I dreamed of having when I was 17.

[@jreyes8838]

Your studio seems so serene and peaceful. I'm sure amazing music will be made in there. Can't wait!

[@eternal864]

Devin is so friendly and humble that for a moment I was shocked like "WOW look at this average youtuber's studio!" I have to admit that I had a moment of readjusting. Of course Devin Townsend's studio should look like this!! Love you Devin!

[@mikesallee2509]

Wow, that is super! Very clean and classy setup which makes for a nice creative atmosphere. This makes me appreciate the learning curve of engineering your own work. Nobody could ever accuse Dev for being lazy. I'm sure Oliver helps him remain focused! 🐕

[@WARinMYhead1]

I love the bass trap at the back, reminds me of the great smokey mountains. Also love the idea of the different layers with the LEDs. I saw something similar at an airport once, snapped a picture for future reference/inspiration. studio looks great!

[@BobbyDoesMusic]

Man, I love seeing studio tours from people who are using it mostly to make their own music, rather than trying to generalize and make it viable for a lot of different people. Seeing how you have things setup specifically for *your* workflow for *your* music is awesome. In concept, my home studio is pretty similar, with the emphasis on speed and workflow. Everything's always plugged in, and you can basically move at the speed of thought. I think the only gear we have in common is the Stream Decks, though. 😂 Thanks for the tour, Dev! This was awesome!

[@overkillaudioinc]

That studio LOOKS amazing! had NO idea it wasn't built by pro's. the furniture looks great! the whole place looks amazing. well thought out. carefully organized. excellent! Would love to see it in person someday!

[@margam_music]

Exactly! Inspires me to do some studio furniture by myself too :-)

[@GoodDealington]

I would never leave lol

[@rooaroarooar]

Going through a very heavy Devin Townsend obsession rn, I really hope he starts posting regular updates again

[@monsieurabsurd1395]

Thank you for this! I've been waiting for a studio tour ever since you built this one.

[@ThePloppy]

Beautiful!

[@LennardHarders]

Stunningly beautiful. However I will miss your 'Glorified garage'. I always thought that was super neat with those large windows looking out on the garden.

[@svenjurgensen1596]

I'm so glad you could upgrade to that wonderful studio and stuff. You started with basic stuff and deserve so much to own this now. I'm happy for you dev, keep it going.

[@digibirder]

Beautiful space for beautiful music. Thanks for the tour Dev.

[@robinklint3554]

This was the best studiogasm ever! Beautiful studio Dev! I'm currently recording my new album in my kitchen! The good thing,the fridge is just behind me!😎

[@paamlogs]

Yes! I’ve been hoping for a studio tour from you for ages. Thank you Devin!

[@JohnLRice]

Great studio, Devin, thanks for the tour! 👏😎👍 And give your nice pup a hug and a treat for me! 🥰

[@michaelmarshall3729]

What a sick build.

[@Karthonic]

I love how comfy it feels. Like I know it's a studio but it has reading nook vibes. +1 for Oliver too!

[@fatsuperfly]

Wow! I would watch a lot of studio vids, and ppl that build home studios. This by far is my favorite. Kinda goes what I work want. Just looks like a comfortable space and the lights do help, at least for me. It doesn’t make sense, but dig it. It’s a beautiful studio man, congrats.

[@AudioAtmos]

That would be such a perfect studio for a semi-singular artist. It’s so “chill” and I think Oliver agrees. Thanks for the tour.

[@FastRedPonyCar]

Me "I wouldn't mind upgrading from my old Adam monitors. Lets check out the price on those Kii's" .... Closes web browser and stares out the window...

[@nikkiduncan9209]

Beautiful space Dev! Love the new record

[@margam_music]

For a musician its so great to watch Devin - my absolutely favourite metalist/experimentator - to talk about his musical equipment, showing how he works........ Its great how he tries to have everything clear and minimalistic. I totally get his idea... I love POWERNERD Devin! Thank you for all that great stuff! Hope many more amazing albums will be created in this great studio!

[@jor2416]

Thanks for making the studio tour dev! really cool to see

[@justinpridham7919]

Man, congrats on making your space, may it be all that you'd wished. I hope it doesn't end up becoming something that detracts from your pure inspiration.

[@youpeopl_music3220]

This is one of the most thoughtful and considerate designs (2nd comfy chair and automation fader 🤌🏾) that I have ever seen. Looks like a very zen experience; the design of someone that understands the importance of peace, comfort and the ease of operation during the creativity process, Devin. Kudos 🤘🏾

[@davidlawson7786]

Wow Devin, What an amazing studio! I’m starting my first DAW, I need to take inspiration from your studio. I love how calming the ambiance is. Love from Chicago

[@xtremegamer78]

Beast of a setup Mr Dev

[@emptywig]

Love seeing "how the sausage is made." The cinderblock was a brilliant idea!

[@yutface]

The organization and efficacy of every aspect of this setup is the most satisfying thing I've ever seen.

[@silvana2186]

Hi Devin and Oliver! Great studio tour

[@coryj12]

Love this! The focus on workflow and practicality over flashy and flex is inspiring. ❤

[@animalwillopus79]

I know Ola is taking notes!

[@Jbonfiglio80]

Beautiful studio. I am slowly building a garage studio. Thanks for sharing.

[@opinionshurt2905]

Interesting to see the contrast between your studio and a guy like Deadmau5. Total opposite ends of the spectrum but both equally amazing in the right hands.

[@lisamcaleese7909]

Yr studio is beautiful! The diffuser is gorgeous, I had been wondering about it after seeing it in some of yr other videos. Thanks for the tour 🙌🔊✨

[@SyntheticFuture]

I feel kinda good knowing my desk is more "finished" than Devin's desk. Aside from that absolutely everything in this studio is a thousand times better 🤣Absolutely cool room, and considering the latest album it's definitely working for you :D

[@observer5times178]

Thanks for the tour of the Lab Dev. Awesome 👌 🙏

[@Dannje8405]

Haha yeah, the " Devlab"

[@devon-graves-studio-D]

Absolutely gorgeous room. Thank you for sharing it Devin.

[@LilSeizures]

My dream since i was like 14(am 33 now) was to record with Devin. That dream has passed but its so awesome to be invited into his studio to see behind the scenes.

[@Kitarraman]

I remember asking for a studio tour when you were doing the livestreams during COVID. Love your studio, Devin. It feels very zen and optimised to your needs. I also like the aesthetics of it

[@munton5150]

Architecture of a genius.

[@vwharman]

The intention behind everything in the studio is awesome! The purpose is so clear and focused. Cheers Devy!

[@genephillips4809]

That is truly a beautiful studio man!😢

[@Fekesson]

Absolutely beautiful

[@tuomaspietinen1485]

Brilliant! The wooden paneling reminds me of my sauna. We Finns love our saunas. Cozy.

[@DomSchu]

What an incredible space. Really feels like creativity and writing would come easily in such a relaxing studio

[@rylanscott410]

Comfort and Efficiency are two words that come to mind. What a wonderful, little beast of a studio

[@Vimeous]

Thanks Dev. Inspiring to see how you've brought it all together.

[@planetsab]

love the idea of the pacing path...

[@iamtheotherperson8383]

The GP-100 is still present, love it!

[@artsolomon202]

All great stuff Dev, but you know its the Zen spirit of Oliver that does the job.;)

[@PatFlanigan]

Amazing spot!!

[@Easy_Skanking]

Beautiful and supremely organized studio! Thanks for sharing your workspace with us. Give that sweet ol' fella Oliver some belly rubs from me! 🐶

[@russell_the_love_muscle]

very cool. gave me some ideas for home. Thanks Devin!

[@eddiejimenez2]

Nice ... that's the only word my blown mind could come up with. Looking forward to the works of art you produce. Keep in touch with us. don't get lost in there. Peace to you Devin.

[@alfonsoagren414]

Really nice! Awesome and inspiring!

[@tuomasmetsamaa5457]

Very cool place!

[@lackieproductions]

Wow, this is a really well done space! Nice you’re thinking about things like the chairs and creature comforts, those usually get left behind for MORE GEAR haha. I hear great things about those monitors, I bet they sound great in there.

[@TARAS_K]

what a beautiful place!

[@faaip0de0oaid]

A perfectionist musician dream

[@ElliottTorgerson]

So I think im going to build my future studio with heavy inspo from this, this is incredible

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

Amazing!!!

[@woocifer]

Dude that's awesome. I love the symmetry and lines. It draws you into the element. Very cool, man.

[@J-MLindeMusic]

That's a beautiful space. Thanks for the tour!

[@morbidmanmusic]

Beautiful place set up to do work... period! Perfect.

[@cptlooney]

Thanks Dev, love the new Studio. Huge upgrade and its all about working in the environment that makes you happy and productive and free to think..

[@JordonBeal]

Absolutely beautiful, Dev! Might have to steal some of your lighting/vibe ideas. It looks so, so comfortable and serene. Also, I was pretty much set on a pair of ATC SCM45's, but now I think I'll have to give those Kii's a serious look. Thanks for sharing, man!

[@petep]

Very cool space!

[@SoMyungJung]

What a treat. Thanks for this one.

[@darkwanderer326]

Sick studio! So glad you have a spot that can get the most out of your creative energy. Digging the new Powernerd album too!
