“How many sound blankets should we put on the ceiling?” Caleb: YES Great video as ever!

[@Bondetaytv.]

Caleb is the #1 youtube school lol 🔥

[@GlassfilmWeddings]

hes great man. His ultimate camera rig inspired mine!

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Aw thank you!

[@SylvereNazaire]

I knew Caleb would have an advanced setup, but this makes me aprecciate just how advanced it is.

[@MaunoKoivistoOfficial]

Hey, I just wanted to say thank you for all the videos you've made. I have huge respect for how consistent you've been through the years. You've educated whole generations of beginning filmmakers.

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Thanks Mauno. Means a lot to hear that!

[@LukasInTaiwan]

This video is amazing and so useful! New KZbin studio in the making!

[@bradymillersk8]

I’m amazed at the amount of effort put into your sound quality, shows how much I still need to learn with sound, you are the KZbin studio goat

[@PAINFULLYHONESTTECH]

Caleb, thanks for this video. I've based my setups on your videos in this series over the past couple years and it's really helped me a lot. Very few people are so generous with their knowledge. I really appreciate it.

[@JUSTINBUISSON]

So much overkill but I love it, thanks for this!!

[@marsgizmo]

wonderful setup 👏😎

[@jimvh7557]

I built one of your audio bags in the past and it was such a game changer.. can’t miss it anymore.. This setup brings me new ideas once again.. the blankets that are even available through their European website and switch idea.. Love it. You are really the best of the best when it comes to these kind of things 😎

[@erichly]

So I've enjoyed literally every video if not like 99% of your videos Caleb and the KZbin studio on a stand, on a desk, on rolling cart, a rolling cart and 2 sit stand desks and they were all AMAZING...but when you cut to the HDMI patch panel...OMG!! Like all the other setups, this is GOLD GOLD GOLD!

[@JamesSpurin]

Incredible! This has filled in some of the gaps for me and thank you yet again. Really like the rolled up producers choice on the desk as I’m experiencing this same issue, despite having producers choice blankets on nearly every wall. Also quite incredible seeing the size of the space as it looks huge on the videos! Was also just about to buy a new white table so another good nugget for reconsideration. You’re a legend Caleb, appreciate you sharing all of this with us muggles and I’m sure many will agree, not all hero’s wear capes 😎

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Thank you for the kind words James!

[@ErnestStevenson]

By far the best KZbin studio setup I've seen. Next level!

[@ChadSchrandt]

Absolutely fantastic video Caleb. You are great at what you do. I appreciate that we, the audience, can benefit from your experience. You are a natural teacher, keep doing what you're doing.

[@JeffSu]

This is nuts

[@benjhaisch]

Sidus Link is brilliant. Makes everything so much easier.

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Thanks Benj! Yes it is. Recently discovered the Quick Shots and love that feature!

[@firstandlastproductionsllc]

Wow, jack-of-all-trades and angles! Love it!

[@grooveecard]

LOVE Caleb's videos. Always brings great info to the table and presents it in a well-produced, easy-to-understand way. Keep up the great work, man!

[@derekhorsburgh6238]

Boy, your such an inspiration & I'm learning so much from you! your studio is phenomenal. I'm just starting to build mine on a much lower budget, your helping me to make good non regrettable equipment purchase choices. Thank you, love the channel :)

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Thank you so much Derek! Really appreciate it and so glad I could be of service!

[@MarianoPierantozzi]

You are pure genius! Thanks

[@keith-knittel]

That HDMI patch panel solves a problem I had, but had no idea how to solve. Thats such a sweet solution

[@jeremybarber2837]

Holy cow... such a great setup and great nuggets for a wide range of sets.

[@JonathanPalfrey]

Wow I’m impressed everything is recording through the ATEM as the image quality of your videos are better than most. Proof that in a controlled environment, 4K high data rate codecs really aren’t needed, lighting is everything.

[@YuiSenpai]

naisu! love your clean setup m8. premium quality

[@ThomasDeWeerdt]

Thank you for this breakdown! The patch panel is a very nice feature, I never thought of implementing in a smaller studio. but what a great idea! I love your consitency in labeling (ex. P60C): adding a label even though it's printed much bigger on the back of the panel itself ;) Thank you, you are my favorite pro video tech KZbinr

[@willmannering]

Killer video Caleb! Love the progression throughout your youtube career! The Aputure line is certainly fantastic and the Amaran family is literally perfect for a permanent youtube studio. Only reason one may go with the Lightstorm line is if your job is filming on-location and you need the tools to be more durable.

[@micahcrews]

I always learn so much. Thank you, Caleb.

[@kelvinfunkner]

I run a recording studio and my first thought was how good the VO sounded....and it makes sense when you showed the sound blanket treatment. Love the portable gobo idea and I'll be putting that to use for sure!

[@Brian-ud6uj]

It's amazing where you've come since I started watching you YEARS ago, haha. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. We have a homesteading channel and are, hopefully, about to start building our houses (my parents' and ours, small family farm going in). I will definitely put some of this to use when we build our studio for filming interior talking head shots. Thanks again and keep up the great work!!

[@AJ_UK_LIVE]

Excellent setup you have Sir. I am not surprised! I am currently getting my DJ Twitch channel up and running, and it really does come to you quickly how difficult it is to create a pleasing rectangle with interesting and well lit things in it!

[@Jbobonline]

Caleb, you are such an overkill - and I love it! You truly inspire me 🌹

[@tadtop4170]

Wow I really liked the desk and all the connections

[@BuildMontage]

Wow! Thanks for sharing this. My studio has a LOT of inspiration from your videos and sharing how you did things, and I have 3 cams and laptop recording all set up for max efficiency recording for KZbin - somehow I still take just as long to edit but hey, it’s a cool setup. thanks Caleb.

[@DDNZ]

This is so sick....that patch bay is genius

[@hakimbenchabane]

Amazing set up !

[@brandonpetrykowski165]

Love that patch panel! 👍 another killer vid bro

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Thanks Brandon!!! Much appreciation bro.

[@sazbabebe]

Awesome Caleb!👊🏿

[@zachonias]

As I dialed down my time investment in filmmaking over the last several years I stopped watching nearly every channel on production.. except this one. I'm glad I've stayed just to watch you develop, but now with college done I'm actually getting back into making youtube videos again and finding a renewed interest in audio, lighting, and 1-man production approaches! I love seeing you break down exactly how you can achieve a look like this and dial it in so hard, gives me so much respect for the art of grip work, hoping to one day earn my own 60 inch softbox haha

[@Bondetaytv.]

Fire 🔥🔥

[@ebpman]

Caleb, great video. I based my setup on your last video. Nice upgrade opportunities for sure. One thing I have not figured out is how to flip the image of your overhead shot. Your camera is pointing towards you which would have you showing a image that is upside down. How are you flipping it. is the ATM mini doing that or other?

[@AndyLSB]

as always, Boss Caleb, Boss... very inspiring honestly, I have a small room (4x4) where I record my videos and I've gotten alot of inspiration from your videos honestly.

[@itscoleperkins]

Absolutely bonkers… I love it!

[@rorou192]

I wish I could give this video a gazillion likes. I’ve built my KZbin studio based mostly on recommendations and know-how from your videos. I need that hdmi connector plate thing for sure. Much appreciated!

[@GuimaCarvalho]

The best setups ideas! Thanks for sharing!

[@GuimaCarvalho]

Probably a scam, right?

[@topicruben]

Truly an insane setup! I’m shocked 😳! True, Sennheiser mics are for life. I’ve got the MKE 600 and I loved it since day 1. Never had a sound recorder though! One blanket isn’t enough, not even 2……………. Lol! But seriously, I can hear the sound and there’s no any echo, reflection or reverb, it’s a studio! Thanks Caleb for this amazing video 🙏🙏🙏

[@DiscoverwithDan]

Incredible amount of information thank you

[@DAveShillito]

I'd really be interested in the "Custom 3D printed camera patch panels" - they look like custom DC power supplies?

[@ContentCreatorTools]

Just awesome!

[@montricewhite5593]

This video extremely thorough and I really APPRECIATE the value you gave me. Your patch bay system reminds me of the video days with a bunch of video decks. We would need to patch video signals how you explained. Thank you Thank you! Happy New Year!

[@patrickspahr825]

I LOVE that your first point is about SOUND! In film school, we heard repeatedly: “Sound is 80%!”

[@GregsGarage]

Killer setup Caleb. I need to get a monitoring setup like you have. I feel like that's the last big component I'm missing. I like the idea of a patch bay to make all that happen. Cheers!

[@josephhaokip7]

OMG just amazing

[@flochfitness]

That softbox though!!!!!

[@danielmahathir4001]

superhuman setup. one can only dream. thanks caleb. you are one of the greats. caleb and peter mckinon. you both shd have a cup of coffee

[@FellowFilmmaker]

Nicely done Caleb! :D Enjoyed the power strip solution, I've been wanting to rig something like that for awhile, so it gives me some ideas for sure!

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Thanks FF! Love me some rack mounted gear. Keep up the great work!

[@LucySBeauty]

I was impressed with your studio setup from few years ago, but this is just on another level 👍🏻

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Thanks Lucy!

[@NisahCheatham]

That HDMI patch panel is the secret sauce! So ingenious!

[@princearthur4946]

Nice presentation!

[@danasuechilds]

I love these studio type of videos! Will you please do a video on building a rack-mount system?

[@massa6784]

Just, WOW!

[@MrTechTok]

omg insaneeeee！ just when you think you can’t outdo this guy. He delivers again! Btw thanks Man just made my own selfie camera all in one stand because of your video

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Thanks TT! Glad I could help you and your setup!

[@IskyIskandar]

so great! thank you!

[@Ry311GP]

Another well made video. I have no plans for youtube studio but I still found the video informative and entertaining. Thank you. Ry formerly from Dubai.

[@ossme]

Givers overkill a new meaning I can't imagine ever being able to afford any of this. ^_^ still was amazing to watch. Something to try and mimic even in a limited fashion.

[@DanielSilva-te1ww]

Very inspiring!

[@iSpike]

Awesome thanks for sharing mate 👍🏻

[@StenHassler]

Super informative video. Thank you for that! That HDMI Patch Panel ist really interesting. Def my highlight (together with the lighting) and need to know more about it!

[@rickyhaggerty]

This is a lot… I’m not gone lie.. but with how you have made it EASY now to do what YOU need to do… it’s a perfect set up for you my man. I’m thankful to have watched this video to gain some inspo👏🏾

[@terryhatziieremias]

Great

[@MindfulGrinds]

Wholly man. Totally decked out!

[@mixtoure]

Thank you for the information. You are one of my favorite content creators and I try to use all your products.

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Thank you Willie!

[@VIDDTHEDESIGNER]

the best sounding man on youtube

[@jer3006]

Really great strategy tips for studio automation in your setup. I always wonder how you manage to identify just the right adapters/connectors/panels that so nicely screw all your gear parts together! Thanks for sharing this video! BTW, I left you a msg on Discord about your a7IV Guide in the Sony group Oops- just noticed you found it.

[@CraigHollabaugh]

Whenever you post one of these setup videos, I seem to purchase more gear. Today I'm off to buy a HDMI patch panel. Thanks for putting this together.

[@MyFriendlyPup]

You've made this exact video every 4 months.

[@CraigHollabaugh]

@@MyFriendlyPup Every time there are improvements. My setup is close to his from a year ago, atem mini pro iso, 3 monitors, teleprompter, sony bodies, c-stands, softbox, etc.

[@Tvj_films8452]

@@MyFriendlyPup lol.... he buying that hdmi panel to hook up 2 monitor/camera setup.

[@Thebreakdownshow1]

I would just like to thank you for having thought me so much over the years about filmmaking.

[@chleepy]

caleb would have the sun as his soft box if it remotely possible

[@TLFILMS]

That’s. Awesome.

[@PiperBlush]

You are like a chef d'orchestre Thanks I did grab couple of tips there, like the blankets, I have always like your sound, I just discovered your true secret ;) the blanket. Have a beautiful evening or morning... Piper

[@jacquelynnacopoulos1278]

Hello, Congratulations Cool 👍👏👏👏

[@markloring]

Caleb, thank you for your videos! Great value! I created the setup you gave in your Ultimate Video Studio Desk Setup video, 18 Nov 2020. Fantastic! If you were re-creating that configuration today, would you use the patch panel technique of this video and the HDMI Splitters and Switches for teleprompter etc.?

[@Matt_Dylan]

Wow you really have every video I need to get started. I constantly want to click on the suggested videos but I have to get through this one first lol

[@BetterHumanz]

Heya, I ordered the Black Pro Mist filter in your list with the 35mm F1.8 lens in your list but the filter is to big...what size is the filter meant to be?..or am I missing some type of attachement for the filter to attach to the lens?

[@recipetodelicious5791]

Really excellent video. I'm reopening a studio after having closed when Covid hit and going to do the new studio a bit different. This gives me some great ideas!

[@recipetodelicious5791]

Oh, and I love my ATEM! Got the pro not the ISO, thinkin' mebbe I shoulda......

[@hugorojas1452]

THANK YOU!!

[@MrSpeakerCone]

Looks like a great setup! If I may offer a bit of advice as an audio engineer; you've treated the high frequency reflections very well with the blankets and curtains, but there's something a bit woofy in the low-end which you might want to treat as well. Bass traps in the corners of the room would be a good start, and also consider a sofa on the back wall between your C-stands and your lamp. There's a reason every recording studio has one :)

[@ianthebrightman]

Okay... no more lights hahaha Dude, your setups just keep getting more and more amazing!

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Always more lights!!! Thanks Ian!

[@JamesSpurin]

Followup comment: I was watching this a second time and picked up on the opening remarks about the accompanying write-up. It's awesome, read this after watching the video. Has a lot of great info and the links for maximising items off the likes of C-Stands. See 'Detailed Gear List' in the description.

[@myvideoguy]

7:00 sign of the times to see a HDMI patch panel instead of an SDI panel! I love your organisation and commitment Caleb. Always top notch. Do you need to include any signal amplification or are they all just short enough? I came across some HDMI to CAT6 converters the other day which I though was interesting in enabling much further cable runs. Might be a solution for you in other setups at the opposing long end of the room - or maybe way overkill. :-)

[@JustCallMaggie]

The audio on this is great

[@spensersakurai]

Im ready for the r5c review.

[@OpenBuildRepeat]

Huge fan of these videos! My wallet hates em but I love them.

[@iamfrankstallone]

Thanks for this amazing video! Any recommendations on the rail system you have mounted to the ceiling at @1:08? This would be perfect in the area I am in where I can easily move it out of the way like curtains. I don't need anything fancy, I am in a basement with exposed wood beams above me. VocalBoothToGo's track system is overkill. I would love to know a bit more about that if you are willing and able.

[@lacaraja]

I just can say: ¡Wow!

[@cowabungacrypto]

amazing Caleb! do you use a teleprompter with your setup?

[@PaulStephenson003]

@Caleb - Great video as always! Question: can you post where to get the gray vinyl wrap. I need this for my uplift desk and have been living with reflections. Thanks in advance and thanks as always for sharing!

[@josephbernal2567]

dope

[@peterdams5518]

Great Video. First time I see it with headphones. Your voice has a lot of bass.

[@peterdams]

Caleb, is your account being hacked?

[@RobertGossCreator]

Great setup but what software are you using to record the difference angles. Thank you so much for all the helpful information and videos

[@ScottJWaldron]

Quite the setup! It would take a few watches to notice it all. So the ATEM Mini Pro ISO records on a USB-C SSD and that's considered a backup, but what's the main recording? Each camera's internal recording? Maybe I missed it. I guess you could record the output of the ATEM as well.

[@MaltMondays]

Caleb, as a fellow youtuber, I was wondering if you could give some insight as to what made you choose A7IV over GH6. I am needing to upgrade from my G7, but I've heard a lot about A7iV overheating, as well as not having unlimited record time like GH6. I've found your content invaluable in the past so thank you for this channel. Legitimately one of the best.

[@nikilragav]

You must have been looking at a7r iv or a7iii. Nether of those things should apply to a7 iv
