I MOVED HOUSE | New Studio Tour

Hey guys,
as you might have guessed, I’ve moved house, and I’ve got myself a new setup. I couldn’t be happier with it, so I thought I’d share it with you!

Hey guys, I’m Rabea. I'm the lead guitarist in Toska, Frog Leap & Dorje where I write music, make songs and have a great time with my mates. I also have my own line of guitars with Chapman Guitars, and I’ve designed numerous products with some really cool companies, such as the Victory Amps VX Kraken. Anyway, i hope you enjoy my videos, thank you for watching!

7:11 I’m glad you addressed the elephant in the room.....

[@Smart-Alex]

So guests of Rabea will be sleeping on guitar cases, using a 4x12 as an alarm clock, and flossing their teeth with 11-56 strings. Rock on Rabea!

[@gabriellesta7568]

Imaging using the 4x12 for the alarm 😨

[@Dirksdungeon]

Wouldn't mind sleeping on these cases if I'd get to play with what's inside 😁

[@MateusAsato]

I wish I was that organised with my stuff - love it!

[@RabeaMassaad]

I think it’s because if it’s not organised enough. I never get anything done hahah

[@sneifert1968]

Next time my wife says I have too many guitars, I'm cueing up this video

[@highlyfe5054]

Good luck in the new place brother. I wish you guys find there peace and the endless flow of creativity and joy.

[@JohnBrownemonuments]

Don't leave your windows open if you go out, or go to bed. I flooded my studio a few days ago in the storms! Surprised everything turns on... Otherwise looks sick.

[@RabeaMassaad]

Thanks bro - and good advice! See you next weekend ;)

[@cortical1]

Noyce! Excited for you, man! Much great guitar gnar will be shredded under these favorable conditions.

[@amoincof]

Thanks for showing us around Bea. You are my biggest inspiration. Keep doing what you do. As always looking forward to your next video!

[@rodlissat7150]

Master Rabea! Thank you for Lukather's sound like in Andertons, been waiting for this 4 years! Rock on!!! Cheers!!! ❤🎹👍🎸🤘🇧🇷

[@taterfight]

I love the aesthetic of the brick walls in the front and back of the room. Combined with the big windows for natural light if you want it. This room is perfect for a studio. Great find!

[@prsmantse1]

Congrats on the new house! I've listened to grinding gears 2 like a million times. Thanks for doing what you do

[@CoolStuffDad]

Nice setup - cool place to create badass tunes - love the way your LP is just hangin' out behind ya - brilliant work, mate!

[@marsattacks7071]

Congrats young man ! You work hard and deserves (with your other half) to have a nice place (another stepping stone) to live in.

[@JCMJustin]

Studio is looking is looking great man! Thanks for showing us around! Looking forward to seeing more videos from this setup

[@mattsorsson]

Stoked AF for you Bea! I remember subbing and watching the vids from the sub 100k times at your first apartment, the tiny "man cave" -you came a long way since that! Wish you all the best, cuz for me you're a refresher and a battery charger; when i get burnt out from music your channel inspires the crap out of me and help me gather up my shit to carry on ;) Hope all the best for you, Hannah, and the rest of the guys ;) Cheers from Poland ;)

[@gregantonowicz2818]

Gracious of you to show us your new place, us music nerds definitely enjoy seeing how you make things happen. cant wait to hear what inspiration comes from it!

[@livemusicalgarve]

New Rabea, new home, new studio. The worlds a better place, looking great. Wishing you a wonderful new Happy family home and musical journey....Peace and love .

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

Dude congrats man. What a sick new studio!

[@jukruhar94]

The faqt that you allow us, your followers, to see your personal space is something very kind of you, so, thanks for that.. It's nice to see you much you and your friends have grown in the past 5 years or so. For sure your videos are a big inspiration for me.. thanks man!

[@Briansgate]

Just to have Bea's leftovers would be awesome! Grats on the new home, and just doing well in life in general!

[@L.Scott_Music]

I keep my NAMM Badges too. Good memories which you are a part of. I'm going to build a studio space and I never thought about a charging shelf before watching this. THANKS!!

[@marcmoorby1942]

sweet studio broski..congratz on the move and gl for the future events ...too u and the lady of the house ^_^ tcous

[@Jopeymessmusic]

I love the old timey cottagey vibe of your new studio! Can't wait to hear more new stuff! And a bare Knuckle signature pickup?! How fancy! Ha ha ha!

[@gavinorourke32]

Congrats man! Looks amazing. Very happy for you both.

[@AndrewTGreen]

Best of luck man! Best Wishes for you and family.

[@dbarkermusician]

Awesome vid man! Totally deserved to have the gear and the space! Keep rocking 🙌🏻🙌🏻🎸

[@theishing1]

Congratulations Bea, love your new home...looking forward for more videos.

[@mike.semark]

Looks awesome! Inspiring space. Can't wait to see more videos from the new spot.

[@VinnieLeeStudio]

That UA logo lines up perfectly with the ceiling! Its a sign!

[@johnjgibson6807]

Dude You Got An Awesome Layout In Your Studio 👍👍🎶🎶🎸Can’t Wait To See Demos And Jams.

[@guitarghost1]

Just a suggestion: If those are skylights that your amps are under I would move them in case they leak. Great studio and gear !!

[@marcelojulio]

One of the things I like about your videos is the human factor you put in all of them (even the ones being commissioned), it feels good that you're talking to friends and that's great in this universe of people who make videos of Gear test on the internet. Thanks for being such a good guy, bro !

[@_RLP]

Very cool, bea! The new place is dope. Cheers, mate

[@drumsNstuff79]

What a nice space! And a great layout too! Hope it inspires lots of creativity. I use Roland V-Drums too although my kit is an old td-6v, but it keeps me rocking. E drums are so versatile, it's like having many studio kits in one. Such a great tool to have at your disposal.

[@DogShitRecords]

Its Refreshing to listen and watch someone so nice, modest Talented and Turned On ,honestly success could not happen to a nicer guy thanks for keeping it real .love your playing it just keeps getting better ,hope your neighbours are stone deaf

[@bleepbooster]

Very humble, very grateful and very talented. You deserve your success and will inspire all those that work hard to achieve similar.

[@ozprimo]

Man!! Much respect and envy for not only finding a home to accommodate all your gear, but also having a woman who is cool with it! You’ve earned it Bea! Have the T-shirt and CDs all the way here in Japan and lovin them! Rock on.

[@sweepsr]

Wow you have a lot of stuff!! Its cool you collect your friends articles too. You have a good life!

[@mrgriff3044]

That Roland kit is nearly $8k stateside. What a gift!

[@CharlieLord]

and yet you still need VSTs to make it sound decent 😁

[@_AVF]

Thats a Dope setup. Looking forward to all the new vids. Keep pushin' Bea

[@Crinkle65]

It’s like a magical land!!

[@christophermurphy7723]

So proud of you for Your lifes upgrades. Do to doing what you love... I hope to Too follow in y'alls foot steps. Lots of love from Paducah TX....

[@TheBrotesque]

nice poem friend

[@archiebeatz]

Insane setup Rabea! Glad you got the extra space for storage as well. Cheers.

[@Greg-rd8qr]

Wow!! Awesome!!! Love tour vids BRO!!

[@tjnugent62]

I use a couple of tool boxes for my pedals. The rolling kind that you would find in a mechanic's garage, though they are the cheap ones because they don't have to be tough. Pedals fit in the drawers quite nicely,. A guy I know named Lyle Workman uses these kind of boxes for pedal storage. That is where I got the idea. Brilliant.

[@mazz789000]

Super happy for you m8. Place looks great!

[@scotttwitchell5121]

Very cool, nice setup!! Thanks for sharing.

[@thetonekingofficial]

nice studio. congrats on the new house

[@monc221]

Looks amazing! I wish I had a place like this! 😍

[@matafilms]

Beautiful new place Rabea! Congrats!

[@garrygaggles1160]

Great walkabout of all the gear.. Gotta say I love attic rooms - the sky is the limit, break on through to the other side :))

[@JS-dm2vj]

Yeeeesh tasty setup dude. Cheers for the walkthrough!

[@GuitarJammer]

That string drawer makes me feel so justified for loving NYXLs!

[@jimmydover1632]

I live in UK long time and to be honest you are one of the most amazing bloggers and musicians !!!

[@sonatedaquiTFM]

this is so cool man, happy 4 u! hope to someday have something near this

[@PatDeJongeSoundwise]

nice one Bea! all the best in the new studio!

[@bluesbuster2000]

Amazing. Thx for sharing.

[@dougdixonhull]

Hair vs light shade, was getting very worried then!!!😂 Great home studio. Can't wait to see and hear videos from here. Would love to see some videos on software you use and your workflow when your recording. Great video as usual. Thanks for all your continual hard work and entertaining content. Cheers

[@thekramer1097]

That house is really heaven. Congrats!

[@massimobargagna5641]

Good luck in the new place love it

[@LieLikesMusic]

Damn, you've got a lot of gear dude. Thanks for the tour

[@ejorbe]

Hey Rabea!! Thanks for the studio/home tour! It is really cool to see how things are set up/displayed for storage or videos. It gives me and I am sure other people ideas on how to possibly set things up. I am no where near the guitarist/vlogger/artist that you are, but I alas wonder as a video subject how things are connected to your IMac. In other words, what is the signal chain of the physical objects to your computer. I am super curious when I see your videos or Fluff’s or really anyone else’s videos. Thanks for the awesome music and behind the scenes videos! I enjoy them all! Very happy for you and Hannah!!!

[@waynebrown1394]

Congrats on the new house I love it when good people that work real hard win in life. I see Robert Baker another nice guy that works hard.

[@SpectrumDIY]

Love the studio!! Was looking around at your videos and of course, got to google-eye the gear ;) Keep up the awesome playing my dude!

[@Gareth91Hill]

Your videos are so inspiring!! I'm always finding out new stuff

[@Avedis-G]

I just built my home studio and it is extremely similar to yours, which makes me feel like I’m on the right track. I’m happy for you brother! Rock on!

[@RedroomStudios]

that looks super cool! congrats and enjoy!

[@Brembelia]

Bea, suggestion: You might want to check out commercial restaurant racks. They come in various sizes, can be assembled to have different size spacings between shelves, collapse down for easy storage and transporting, and can hold a great amount of weight. I've got a back bedroom with six of them (on casters). They are awesome and I can't imagine trying to operate without them. And if I need a certain set of things to go elsewhere, the whole unit just rolls out to the truck. ( I just wrap wide plastic wrap on a roll around the four corners and everything gets sealed inside until we get to the venue. Your shelving seems bulky with a stationary configuration that doesn't allow for a whole lot of adaptation. Just a thought... :)

[@kumudtsering]

Snarky Puppy is always a solid choice! 🤘🏾

[@lueyteledeluxe7457]

F#*k, Utube has been kind to you, Bud! I picture you from not two yrs ago hanging around Andertons... Now look at you! You're like a well-spoiled Rockstar! I hope you stay grounded, it's a fickle, fickle biz... You deserve it, of course. Just stay humble, bro, is all I'm saying.

[@MrCaedo]

Glad you're happy with the new place! Just wanted to give you a heads up that I noticed some low mid resonances in the last bit. You might wanna check if it's a room /mic position/EQ thing and the specific frequency/wavelength... had the same problem and couldn't fix it with the "normal" methods... until I realised that the sound waves were bouncing in a triangle inverted to the roof... places a couch in the middle of the room - problem solved ;)

[@benjojuni6155]

Congratulations! Amazing set-up!

[@mpactdesignmedia]

BAM! Nice! Congrats!!

[@yosephmcjoe9575]

Really happy for you and Hannah, Bea. It's inspiring to hear you so happy and proud of the new space. Onwards and Upwards!

[@eaf27]

I just found your band Toska.... I'm reeeeally digging it. you certainly inspire me, thank you. p.s. I also like your hair.

[@McRocklin]

Looks killer man, enjoy that wicked setup : )

[@thehandseesall]

I remember walking past you at the clocktower when I was visiting Brighton... made me chuckle to myself

[@DennisVlaanderen]

Just a little acoustics tip. You might want to try diffusers for the panels above head. Tends to work a bit better than straight absorption. Also will clear up those few panels up the to maybe find out other reflective spots along the wall. Will probably make the room sound a lot tighter considering the triangle shaped roof doensn't work in it's benefit. Love the whole look to the studio though very clean despite how much stuff you've slinged into it.

[@mattevans4348]

Honestly looks the dream studio man! So chuffed for you 🤘

[@bottleneck1100]

I felt no jealousy watching. I'm pleased to see Rabea's success, and am proud to be part of it all in some small part as a fan.

[@Kzzyn1990]

this is so awesome, i'm so happy for you. if the new studio is under your roof it's hot as hell in there isn't it?

[@AndyFairlie]

Congrats mate, from South Africa broo!

[@michaelolgaalgar5729]

Lovin' the studio Rabea, so much nicer than my shoebox in central London, Olga, The Toy Dolls.

[@DogShitRecords]

you can dampen speaker cabs or combo amps vibrations by sitting them on top of old car tyres it isolates them,might be handy on floorboards you could get a roll of rubber vinyl the sort they use in vans or horseboxes on the floor that will absorb loads of reflections deaden the floor, obiously no need with guitar rig or straight in but if you are making a racket it might help

[@zl14l41]

Extensive setup dude, also thanks for the inspiration, I have a bedroom setup at the moment, and on of my requirements for moving is a 3 bedroom, (ours, hers and mine) to have a dedicated studio, but I'm really, REALLY digging the attic as a studio, would need some kind of air conditioning setup where I live though, or the tolex will melt lol

[@davedavem]

Awesome Rabea!; I've also just moved house and have big plans for the attic space. Keep on inspiring bro

[@marcosantonioosoriovillalo313]

Congrats!!!

[@dustinbrooks4397]

glad im not the only one who absolutely love NYXLs!

[@ShawnSharkey4]

Congrats Rabea..You deserve it!

[@lauscho]

Rabea: *opens cereal cupboard* More pedals!

[@aaronsmithey4044]

Very very cool 😎 Cheers!

[@antonyoung5457]

Looking forward to seeing that Roland video

[@silentwhisperstudios7808]

Nice place , really nice set up. You've got a ton of stuff. Keeping track of everything is a job in it self. All those pedals... I've got only one , Temporal Rift from Dunwich Amplification. Amazing pedal..

[@shantmanoukian2430]

Congrats man looks amazing

[@hanomag251]

Nice room!!! Seems to be an attic. Must be pretty hot during summer time. How does the neighbours enjoy your music. Do you have to keep it low all the time??? Hope that one day you can build your own home and be free to play as loud as you want!!! Thanks for sharing a part of your life with the rest of the world!!!

[@soykanmuri7277]

That's awesome dude Les Paul, because man I was walking 7 miles a day into Wow Dell's and I found a skate park by this Fire Dept. So I Dropped into this 10-12 ft bowl and ended up falling on the center slope. That was like the steepest part and my elbow and forearm were in a lot of pain, like shattered I felt. So it was 3 weeks before I built up enough pain tolerance messing with guitar. Enough to go back to the Skateboarding park to 50-50 a 20 ft hubba.

[@HitMarkersAreFun]

Nice setup! inspiring video, makes me want to go home and dig out the pedal board and amp out of the closet... but therein lies my problem, not enough space in my house to keep the music gear out all the time. We haven't moved because saving money is a lot easier where we are, that and location. oh well, at least I feel inspred to want to play some more music tonight, thanks for sharing your studio tour!

[@erniesfo]

Since so much recording, mixing and mastering is done in the box, it would be nice to see what types of software Rabea uses and how it's organized. There has to be a lot of software "gear" in there!

[@jackharding2848]

Car guy and guitarist, that goodwood pass is epic! Thats the one i aspire to get lol

[@GibsonVOS58]

Thank you for the tour. Amazing equipment. I guess there was one thing you missed to mention and that is the studio desk hehe. Where did you buy it and what brand, name and model is it? :) Im looking for one your seems really nice, free space under the desk and nice solution for the monitors.
