[@AndrewMasters]

Anyone have more synths than Jim? What’s the best part of this spot?

[@JimDaneker]

Pretty sure BT has us all beat by a mile - you ought to do one on his place. It’s insane!

[@MuzixMaker]

Jordan Rudess.

[@JimDaneker]

@@MuzixMaker YUP!!!! ;-)

[@creepymcpeepers]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4S1k3WOZaZmaKM check it out matching lamps were twinkies

[@EchoKraft]

I would have to say BT probably has the most.Trent Reznor has a huge synthesizer studio collection. GEO SYNTHS. You should check out Marshal Arnold on KZbin, he has an incredible set up he’s a friend you should definitely check his studio out and he’s a really cool guy.

[@larswillsen]

Jim saved my life .. producer of DX DREAMS for Kontakt ..!!! :D

[@_Woo]

There's a point where it stops being a "home studio" and becomes a Studio that just happens to be at your home.

[@magnusdahlstrm926]

I just came here to say that I appreciated the B-roll in the beginning.

[@reysandoval5075]

Such a shame. I thought I knew lots of keyboard artist/producers/film scorers/ I humbly say, I don't know anything! This is definitely one of my favorite segments. Thank you for sharing Jim Daneker's studio. Up until watching this, I had humbly and sadly never heard of him. I'm definitely a fan now! Again, thanks for sharing!

[@J3FP4G3]

Holy crap!!!! Synth heaven!!

[@billbradleymusic]

This guy is next level planned out.

[@JimDaneker]

Huge thanks for adding my little space to your “collection” Andrew - you always do such a fantastic job!

[@arianamastersofficial]

I LOVE your space! I'm all about the keyboards. Great job.

[@JimDaneker]

@@arianamastersofficial thanks so much!

[@littleshrederdude]

Inspiring space, Jim! I saw that Ranch stuff in the background (I used to be on crew/lead worship out there), it was a nice reminder of my wonderful times there. Bless you!

[@JimDaneker]

@@littleshrederdude thanks much! LOVE JH Ranch!

[@TommyVarekai]

Where'd the Jupiter X go!? :o

[@filipeventura2729]

Would LOVE to see more synth based setup :)) always looking for cool ideas and most of the videos are full band recording

[@BeHealthyandMore]

Thank you SO much for the support of my husband 😁😁👏🏻👏🏻

[@AndrewMasters]

Any time!

[@Amatteus]

He has done a lot of thinking with his studio. A lot !!!!. Amazing.

[@matthewmcwhorter812]

Signal flow is crazyyyyy

[@CharlieRiceMusic]

This is my kind of room; a room with a ton of keyboards. I just noticed how awesome your logo is. Cool.

[@georgegeranios2918]

Always fascinating to visit these great talents.

[@oscarpatxot659]

Love that he uses big budget stuff as well as low budget stuff. No discrimination.

[@JimDaneker]

It’s all about sound and inspiration! 👍🏻

[@tekis0]

I love how you always seem to cover the details.

[@tomc7299]

Walking into this room with all them synths would be like a dream come true 👍👍👍

[@dragon-id5uj]

as a synth lover & person that thinks of their home studio as a spaceship cockpit, i can tell this one's gonna be a hit with me :)

[@dragon-id5uj]

ah frick, for the life of me i've never gotten touchosc to work! maybe time to give it another look

[@jaden_shah]

I believe the only correct reaction is to say HOLY SYNTH

[@zanewilliams9095]

WOW that's eye candy. such awesome inspiration for my studio.

[@xil.sanctified]

Happy to see another Herman Miller in a studio :)

[@conservativeokie]

Jimbo is the absolute coolest nerd I have ever met in my life! If I were Bauer, he would definitely be my O’Brian!!😂 Awesome episode. 👍🏼

[@SGLP93]

Is this excessive? Yes. Is it still intriguing? Yes.

[@LoftyMediaNetwork]

Thank you for this series I have a routine where every Monday when I go for my lunch break I watch this lol

[@reybarr8670]

Very nice!

[@RAAKMO]

You gotta start remembering GIK acoustics. A few of the studios you've featured have had them. Great company.

[@JimDaneker]

For sure… really affordable and good quality stuff!

[@willy1954]

Every time I watch one of these videos my wallet gets lighter. Been building up my tiny studio in a spare 11'x14' bedroom. Having a hard time fitting the drums, synths, guitars, basses in there haha.

[@kingstondread7064]

Check out the image reflecting on your Acoustic guitar pick guard during the Intro! Another good studio tour thanks Andrew.

[@calib5]

fantastic attention to detail -incredible

[@DJMELODEE1]

Nice Synth Keyboards Set Up !!

[@rjb7569]

So well set up for interconnectability. Amazing. Great studio.

[@edglue6138]

Beautiful

[@Eduaro2U]

Bonkers he said. The studio is bonkers. Thanks to you both Andrew and Jim for a wonderful, inspirational tour of what must be a gorgeous space to work in. So many little knicky-knacky bits and pieces. I love it. I think I also need two Stream Decks. Thanks guys.

[@ufdffdd1]

Wow!!! What I creativ vibe!!

[@michaelmassaro3483]

This is probably my favorite one so far!

[@christopher-miles]

i just came here to say; it's cool he watches your clips, man. he be a fan, yo!

[@NoelKoutlis]

DREAMMMMMMMMMMM

[@dimitargadzhev3800]

Thank you very much, amazing video!!!

[@arianamastersofficial]

I love love love the collection! Oh the sounds that can be made in that room - very impressive. GREAT use of space.

[@juangi_mx6774]

There is no better way to start the week than watching this vids

[@EdgetoneStudios]

Being a big synth nerd, this was the best studio tour yet!

[@jamesedinger4956]

Gorgeous set up...amazing job

[@ZachWirchak]

I can't tell if my heart rate is elevated from my treadmill workout or his sexy studio.

[@PresentDayProduction]

These studio tours are awesome. I’m also very thankful I’m not one of the sad people that feel the need to give a thumbs down. That must really suck... keep up the great work, Andrew!

[@meatbag478]

Can't stop watching the pick guard, in the beginning.

[@chrisneal6374]

It's incredible what you can amass overtime, I look at my relatively small project setup and I'm always impressed, thanks for the tour!

[@soundblankie]

This may be my favorite setup.

[@caroll2352]

Thanks, Andy for another great interview.

[@arianamastersofficial]

Thank you for watching GG :)

[@davidallred991]

My favorite so far by a mile, I am a synth guy so it starts there, but also would be my dream setup as it is geared around one person and can somewhat be attainable in my lifetime. Many of the studios on here are crazy impressive but nothing I would ever have or even want really as I only want a one room studio just for me.

[@sam-eleejones4607]

this is sooooo one of my most favourite channels, please keep it up.

[@ticktakdrummingdrums]

Man I love your videos. I wait for mondays for your new videos!

[@erkydi]

synth dream land!

[@pUmPkIn3aT3r]

was really waiting for this tour, great!

[@THA-REAPER]

Now to get it all on solar power.

[@sideast]

Great Vid !

[@ulfdanielsen6009]

This was 26:55 min. of pure uadulterated synth porn! Not one keyboard/synth/ controller I would think twice about having at my own place. He had every classic brand AND model covered and up and running. Dayum! That´s one mighty fine keyboard/synth project studio. And I´m a metal guitar player,- can´t play the piano to save my life,- and I´d still want all of it. Dayum!

[@laneysommer]

Love this studio. Fantastic use of space and design elements. Amazing how there's so much tech, yet still feels like a cabin.

[@arianamastersofficial]

Thanks for watching!

[@apislapis]

A simply stunning creative space.

[@johnnycanuto591]

bro i love your studio set up videos!!! dont stop doing them! you r making my mondays betters dude!!!

[@jgooch99]

This is beautiful!!!

[@riddellthomas2185]

Beautiful studio

[@thesolutionband]

Yah synths! Got some good ideas for my current and future synth studio. Thanks!

[@thehater8389]

"Ad Alta" is the album I listened to most often in quarantine ❤ brilliant musician, brilliant tour 👍

[@JimDaneker]

Wow, thanks for the kind words!

[@whittymusic]

Awesome tour Andrew! Got a couple cool ideas from Jim on this!

[@basementmidi]

Just wow! I wish this was in my home.

[@harrymindgameTV]

Great interview. Glad that you have a synth guy on this time round. Also thank you. Your videos have helped me to build my project studio. If I got stuck on anything I had your videos as a reference point. Also great inspiration while putting things together on those late nights. Had this channel running continuously in the background. Appreciated. :-)

[@michaelrice6620]

Damn his studio is so sick!! That’s my dream right there!

[@chrismurphy9750]

I've been waiting for one of these studio tours with a heavy synth setup! Thanks for delivering! Jim - I love what you've done to customize and make an aesthetically pleasing setup. I like the Michael W. Smith shout out - he's a great artist. From my experience it's a lot tougher than it looks to connect everything up and get it working in a "clean" functional way, and you've achieved that. I look forward to checking our your KZbin channel and other work as well,.

[@JimDaneker]

Thanks for the kind words Chris!

[@Cyberpunk9000]

This is off the charts

[@wlaaaaaaaaaa123]

This was so cool!

[@adriatic123]

That was a really interesting tour, this guy knows about his stuff, thanks

[@G.GordonMidi]

DX-7 w/ the wood panels! 👁

[@codex7047]

love touchOSC

[@calldwnthesky6495]

from what little i've heard i can't say i'm a fan of his music or the music he mixes, etc. but his studio might be the nicest i've ever seen. not too big not too small. incomparable aesthetics. super nice space. as well he is an absolute audio / engineering / tech genius...

[@JimDaneker]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@funhouse7698]

still drooling over this

[@EBMZEQUENZER]

Very impressive :-)

[@N-trepid1]

What a fantastic studio Jim designed, and a collection of epic gear. Loved your interview Andrew (learned a lot). While more is not necessarily better (Geosynths and Marshall Arnold have outstanding synth collections) "Firechild" has (and uses) just about every epic synth known to man. Junkie- XL before he sold most of his gear had a legendary collection.

[@mikefisher84]

Awesome video and such a good studio! Would love to see more composer centric studio tours in the future.

[@reysandoval5075]

Definitely agree with you, Mike!

[@jami7848]

Nice videos bro

[@_CP30_]

Love your vids brotha 🤙 preciate it

[@RaeWilliams]

LOVE these videos. I would love a Zoom call with Jim one day. Heck i would actually pay a few bucks for that.

[@soyfacucastro]

Love everything, but I'm shocked by the daw/vst/preamp setup and furniture. Not only feels like a super smooth workflow, but also it gives like a vintage, analogue console style to the centerpiece of the studio! I would love a short video of that stuff in depth. Cheers from Argentina.

[@JimDaneker]

Glad you like that - that’s exactly the vibe I was going for with that center section. I took pictures along the way while building that… get in touch and I will see if I can find them. I will also do an upcoming KZbin episode on that ;-)

[@RichieCastellano]

Another great video. I got a lot of ideas from your channel for my new studio. If you’re ever in NY, hit me up!

Thanks David!

[@davidmcaninch4714]

@@AndrewMasters if I may, I’ve been a musician for as long as I’ve been alive. I’m 25. (See, that rhymes.) My instrument of choice is drums. From drumset to percussion. My dream is to work in a music store where I can, stop me if you get the reference, say that “I sell drums and percussion and drums and percussion accessories.”

[@danielsullivan6364]

this man went to guitar centers piano room and said "I'll take 1 of everything"

[@lashtal]

Got some Great, Iconic synths in there. Loving the almost-separate recliner area, and the open windowed vocal booth. I'm also a big fan of that rule: don't bring anything else in, unless it adds something totally new to the space. With that rule taken into consideration, GREAT choice of synths. But am I seeing potential for a Quadraphonic monitor setup here? 2A's with interchangeable tubes, groovy. Does Jim do his own Mastering? Talking about Reverb, Eventide Blackhole is sick (especially for synths). A free ITB reverb also worth checking out: Valhalla SuperMassive (god I love this thing). Make sure you got that "Vintage Knob" firmware update from Sequential for that OB6 Desktop :) Loving the decision to kind of lone-wolfe and feature the Prophet 5 and OB6 together... "analog top dogs", yes... but you can't deny The Brute, dude! I see that Jim has some sincere appreciation for the MB, and for that reason, I know he knows his synths (from witnessing that carefully curated collection for versatility in sound design purposes). Only other analog consideration would be the filters of the Korg MS20 (that sound doesn't appear to be in this studio... ?), and taking a good look at the Behringer Odyssey! The mini-library w/guitars mounted on walls for space maximization, love it. And making your own custom furniture for the studio, that's got to be a great deal, not just due to saved money- but, you can really Exact the dimensions perfectly (a skill I need to get into myself!). And... J.W., yikes! It doesn't get more talented (E.T., Star Wars, Jaws... you name it, literally). All that's missing in that studio for autographs now is one from Elfman, Vangelis, and GOD lol Another thing worthy of mentioning, I notice this fellow has pictures of his loved ones in very prominent places, all around. Myself, I have a 3 year old boy, whose always popping up on my vocal mics (sometimes it works really well, very organic, albeit accidentally & somewhat experimental as well)... but a lot of us I think have this fantasy where we're going to create this epic, isolated, almost Bat Cave scenario that's It's Own Space, totally isolated from the rest of the world. For those of you who have home studios (whether for fun or profit)... do you personally wish that it was more isolate from the world outside, or... what are your thoughts on this? This is an excellent studio, especially for a home-studio. Loved this for the ideas it presents, thank you guys for sharing!

[@JimDaneker]

Great comments - thanks friend!

Ang here goes Jacob collier with not much gear but has metric modulation, etcs, wins 4 grammies 😅😅😅 subbed to your and Jims channels, keep posting

[@JimDaneker]

Ha, yes - Jacob is talented on a whole other level!

[@sixsgma1563]

I don't think people understand that when film composers run slave PCs, each of their sessions uses 95% of the same sounds/patches. They will have an entire 90 piece orchestra pretty much laid out one track at a time. You can imagine this would be 100GB+, taking 20+ minutes to open a song is not unheard of, so instead they run it on a separate machine and only load a couple GB per song. Think of those PCs as a ROMpler over ethernet. Some composers that have gotten their hands maxed out mac pros are still running "virtual slaves" on the same machine as their DAW for still this reason.

[@hearsebangbeats3287]
