These home studios are becoming studio homes

[@PlatinumHustle]

Exactly lol

[@mr.honesty5115]

Spot on!

[@stillavenue]

What a classy dude. I love how he still has that childlike excitement about music and seems very proud to talk about his career. Amazing studio.

[@stillavenue]

Also the music he has contributed to is mind blowing. Pure genius talent. Legendary.

[@MixingGBP]

@@stillavenue His Raydio albums are legendary. Some real hidden gems in those records.

[@toneyisaiah3556]

I have the Rock On album released from Arista label,1979.

[@kenrickhadley4499]

I love Ray Parker JR for saying, i never retire from music.It breaks my heart when any artist says i'm retiring. Ray Parker JR is the food and flame of inspiration.Thank you God for letting me live in the time of Ray Parker JR.I'm 63, the memories of all that music.I feel rich. Thanks again Ray.

[@gentleall]

The fact that all this highest tech studio equipment is soundproof to the outside neighbors is the kill shot for awesomeness.

[@guitarplayer5932]

Ray is a legend, most people have no idea what he’s accomplished other than ghostbusters , amazing studio

[@BrianODonohue]

Ray is a Class Act. Nice to see he's enjoying the fruits of his labor!

[@keimurr1]

You can see Ray is comfortable.. He's not trying to impress or Prove anything to Anybody.. Enjoy the fruits of your Labor Bro...

[@margix1172]

Ray Parker ...a DISCO-FUNK guitar player ..the best and only REAL dance music EVER!

[@BishopEddie5443]

I came here for a studio tour , not a history lesson, but WOW! Ray Parker Jr. almost made me cry with all he's accomplished, along with his style and good taste.

[@djcoolcliff]

Ray gave my uncle Wah Wah Watson his Gibson L5 that he played on his whole career! Pa Pa Was A Rolling Stone, Car Wash, all of Maxwell’s first cd!! RIP to Melvin Ragin aka Wah Wah Watson!!!!!

[@djlucasd]

Your Unc was one of the Funk Brothers man, that's awesome! Rest In Peace to him.

[@djcoolcliff]

@@djlucasd He sho was!! They was boys all of the way until the end!!

[@FUNKINETIK]

Papa was a Rolling Stone & Car Wash ~ two tunes with the finest of intros you’ll ever hear. I was raised on Motown - RIP to your uncle Melvin. P E A C E : )

[@djcoolcliff]

@@FUNKINETIK Facts! Illest intros ever!!!!!! Thanks!!!!!

[@FUNKINETIK]

@@djcoolcliff the name Norman Whitfield just popped into my head, I knew he produced Rose Royce Car Wash and worked with the Temps. Just had to check that he produced Papa Was a Rolling Stone too - glad to know my memory is working well. P E A C E : )

[@matt_phistopheles]

It is fantastic to see how the 19 year old dude still shines through in every moment when he talks about music. What a nice guy and this studio is just a piece of art in itself.

[@ivanmay7890]

That 1956 Fender Stratocaster Ray Parker Jr. Has is very beautiful looking.

[@clunt2548]

Man, Ray is such a classy guy. I hope I’m half as cool as he is by the time I’m his age.

[@harrymindgameTV]

Can't believe you got to interview the legendary Ray Parker Jnr and tour his home studio. Well done for featuring him.

[@evelioroque3706]

Ray used to record all the instruments in his albums when he was young, in the early 80s. He said that way he saved time and money during the production. They are re-broadcasting all those old "Casey Kasem American Top 40" where Casey tell this stories about the celebrities of 70s & 80s. Ray Parker Jr. was and still is, a great celebrity from those golden years!

[@okachobired5856]

I'm fascinated just listening to what Ray Parker Jr. has done in his career not even knowing he had a hand in so many records.

[@t3reeproduction314]

That is a dream studio...That man has been involved in so many hit records.. a living legend!!

[@Njabuloseh]

Oh man! Easily one of my favourite episodes, I’m so grateful Ray Parker Jr made time to chat and show us his personal studio 🙌🏾

[@balisaani]

What an awesome home studio, wow. Very specific to his exacting standards, very impressive. The floor to ceiling glass wall is stunning, all the thought and attention to the mic stands, video cameras, and so on is borderline OCD. I'm a technology geek as well, and my head was spinning from it all. So freaking cool. And then the contrast with the simplicity of his desk, with the racks and 500 series (and small monitor), shows his focus is, at it's always been, on making music. Mad respect for the musician, and studio designer in him.

[@captainkeyboard1007]

This is the second awesome show I have watched. Ray Parker, Jr. made some awesome soul music during the 1970s and 1980s decades. Andrew Masters, 'you de man!

[@realRainz]

I like that Ray has many windows that provide natural lighting, and yet created a soundproof marvel.

[@rolandjenkins2349]

I have so much respect for this man ever since I was in my 20s and I'm 54 now. I feel he's an unsung great!

[@ulfdanielsen6009]

Even as a devout european / Nordic metalhead from a completely different part of the world and not in any way shape or form having grown up on US blues, soul, r&b, Soul Train, disco, funk, hip hop, pop or neo soul music I still know who Ray Parker Junior is..... Man is a complete legend.

[@AndrewMasters]

Hey Ulf! Totally agree, such a good dude too.

[@arianamastersofficial]

Thanks for checking it out :)

[@ulfdanielsen6009]

@@arianamastersofficial Glad to be back with you guys.. :)

[@dexterwolfe]

make america high again. this man's still got it.

[@souldeep808]

Much respect for one of the the most underrated Guitar Gods of all time. He is waaaaaaay more than the guy who sang Ghost Busters!! This was AWESOME to see. Glad he's doing well and still loving his art.

[@Jcg2nd]

I concur.

[@reidwhitton6248]

I don't really care for Ghost Busters. He was sued by Huey Lewis over that song for ripping them off. I knew him before that for being an in demand rhythm guitar player. Many successful musicians that came up in the 70s made a fortune. It's unfortunate that today it's much more difficult for that to happen.

[@klteverything3555]

him telling that he has to build the studio to look exactly like his house was already mind-blowing

[@fiddlefolk]

Ray is the epitome of what a class act is! Truly a legend!

[@Sleepsleep___]

"jimi hendrix feel" i love it!

[@kenfolk0357]

I am only disappointed that I had to come home from truck driving to see the new content!! I'm subscribed and bell'd...but no notifications of new content.. Gonna have to complain to YT.. with that said..LOVE THE STUDIOS that you've been fortunate to show us!!

[@fostexfan160]

I had no idea he was a guitarist. I thought he was a one hit wonder with the ghostbusters song. What an incredibly nice and professional gentleman he is. Total respect Mr. Parker Jr.!! And hats off to that incredible home studio and guitar collection

[@OlandoMcCall]

He's played for everyone Ray is a legend!

[@johnfunches8153]

I have been a fan of Ray since I was a teen. Parker's recordings of him and Raydio were the cleanest and influenced my audio production. I cannot believe that he had no training in audio engineering and that Prince cut his first album in his studio.

[@reallyordinary]

“I love music. Music is my life. There’s no retirement from music. There’s no start and there’s no end. You just keep going til you can’t play anymore.” Dang - that's brilliant there.

[@MASAMEDIATV]

Its amazing how humble and down to earth this living legend is after a great successful career and how passionate he still is about his work. Long life to the king.

[@LA610]

a man after my own heart....once you get famous have your own recording studio....love your music always have...

[@bardicdad]

Thank him for welcoming all of us into his home studio! I would look like a kid in a candy store.

[@HH-pe8hl]

What a wonderful episode! Ray Parker JR what an absolute wise soul. Best thing about this episode was him plugging his sons music. ;)

[@mumbles215]

Pure class. He is the American dream and I will buy “make America HIGH again”. F YEAH!!!

[@terrymiller111]

If you just take individual pieces of Ray's career, it would be great. But the sheer volume of work in total is so astounding.

[@patinaz6758]

Here I am feeling pretty good with my guitar and amp set up in a cramped corner of my bedroom adorned by dirty clothes, messed up sheets and dog hair. Glad to see this man this excited about his passion.

[@RiffsAndBeards]

Ray Parker is the man, most don't know him but they have heard him.

[@MatthewYates1]

This is so inspiring. It's very great to hear that Ray Parker Jr. Is living the American Dream. Radio is still one of my favorite groups. Salute to Ray Parker Jr. Thanks so much for touching my life. Producers like yourself and George Clinton inspired me to do what I do today. Awesome studio!!!

[@ernestdaniels1671]

Ray Parker Jr is a favorite of mine. He is a good singer but I never knew he was an engineer. Thanks Andrew for sharing Ray with us!!

[@davidjacobsen1903]

This is a fantastic interview with an amazingly humble and still inspired musical giant...thank you for doing this Andrew

[@mastertung7]

Please do an episodewith the legendary Leon sylvers,that would be epic for sure !!!

[@richardpayton9671]

How awesome was this! Master guitarist, master song craftsman, and a lot of people sleep on the fact that he is a master engineer! You listen to his Raydio records and you can hear every single sound sitting perfectly in the mix eq-wise, left-right, front-back. And very smart guy financially. (How do you think he could afford to build this studio? 😁). Do yourself a favor and listen to his interview on the Questlove Supreme podcast. The stories he shares are phenomenal!

[@mittenguitars]

The Tim Pierce interview with Ray is really great as well... Nice job on this Andrew.

[@TheReal_E.IRIZARRY]

Ray Parker Jr is sharp for being in his mid 60s going on his late 60s. He knows that it is his last property acquired or else he wouldn't have built a studio before erecting the walls up. Good for him. Dude could do Twitch streams 🙂

[@tbolton6156]

Man, if I ever win the big lottery. Definitely Will hire Ray Parker, to build me that studio.

[@iam607]

I'm STILL finding out stuff Ray did!! I love his pride in the studio and his confidence. We musicians would be lucky to age so gracefully

[@naijaman1]

For those who like to groove : must have been like 7 years old but that was the first RPJ track I heard and the best ! Such a blessing ….

[@chadwilliams795]

Ray is bar none a musical genius.

[@Prolific2112]

"Home Studio" is a bit of a stretch, but a studio that looks like a home is amazing. good stuff. lol

[@sonicart1808]

Holy cow that's a dream sequence right there.....

[@MrAsharrison]

Man, Ray’s studio is out of sight! So nice and inspiring to hear from a living legend. He’s touched a lot of lives through his work and music. Great man!!!

[@danepaulstewart8464]

I love Ray! I was LUCKY enough to get to watch him in the role of producer for a soul singer back in 1987, and it was amazing. I always figured it must have been what watching Prince was like - Ray was playing EVERYTHING, and he was FAST! After watching him I considered quitting because he was LIGHT YEARS ahead of me. .. thankfully I was able to shake it off and find some confidence again. However good you think Ray is… trust me, he’s BETTER. 👍😎👍

[@gringoonthabeat]

Everybody thinks oh yea Ghostbusters theme but doesnt realize all the steps before that.........#legend

[@garyb7950]

This is an amazing creative space! I was in high school when I first heard Ray Parker's music (with Raydio) and it is nice to see and hear him still creating music. Much Respect! "....you can't change that!"

[@acefromspace2727]

Where did Ray Parker make all of his money? He did not have many top 10 hits. We know Ghostbusters, but even that song had to pay out Huey Lewis. Kudos to him. Amazing home studio.

Ray Parker jr. Has a hit song that will last forever. Ghostbusters song is still super popular with kids.

[@quentin5837]

(Goin thru school and love) is my favorite Raydio song. If you have not heard this song please go listen. Thank you Ray.

[@FUNKINETIK]

Brought an extra smile to my face when Ray mentioned Jack & Jill, I got that single when I was a kid and the next one Raydio released ‘Is This a Love Thing’ a brilliant tune. Such a rich varied musical history, he got the finest tutors when he was young - Motown, HDH, Marvin & Stevie - amazing. P E A C E : )

[@briankruesi6484]

Ok this is the only studio that I like better than the Warm Audio studio. This is clearly made by a musician so cool.
