IN THE BOX Production Studio Setup

[@itsstudiotime]

Love seeing the 2.0 of this room :)

[@gtmlsmsc]

0:25 which piano is that?

[@Luancwav]

So sick!

[@itsstudiotime]

thanks!

Hi Andrew! Something I would love to see a video on is lighting in the studio. What do you guys do for ambient/mood lighting? I myself am investigating a cheap and simple way to add lights to the back of my sound panels (self-made) to achieve a glow out from behind them. Would love an in-depth video on that topic, how it would transform the room etc. Keep up the good work! 🤘

[@itsstudiotime]

Coming soon! Often overlooked in studios but really matters to the client and user experience.

[@PunkRockVibes]

@@itsstudiotime Yeah, same here. A lighting video would be good. I feel like setting the right mood lighting is gonna help with the workflow.

[@zelkovabright7723]

That desk looks exactly like and went together exactly like the Glorious Sound desk I just got for half the price of the one in your video.

It's Amazing What You Have Done In Such Short Time Andrew Very Inspiring ! Been Missing The Studio Tours I Could See You've Been Really Busy I Hope To See You Getting Back To The Studio Tours Soon. I Hope You Didn't License Your KZbin Earnings To A 3rd Party And That's Why You've Been Posting More On Your New Page Because I Know I Speak For A lot Of Us We Miss The Studio Tours

[@itsstudiotime]

I appreciate that. We have some new stuff in the works. I've been enjoying doing more session work, and working on some of my own music.

[@dehhan34]

I really like the setup! Good job, guys. But speaking of Dangerfox Desk.. I understand that you say to put your expectations longer on the desks but here’s couple thinks; first of all we pay full price for these products and if we were promised for an ETA of 8to10 weeks. I’d expect my product to arrive on time as it’s promised. If they’d be open and say that it’s going to take 6months, maybe I’d have looked for another option. But they didn’t wanna loose my business and I got mistreated with my own money? I don’t agree with it. I ordered my desk exactly 10 weeks ago and I was promised to receive the desk in 8 to 10 weeks and I didn’t hear anything from them yet also even worse is my sales rep can’t reach them out for 2 weeks now. Hopefully I won’t be in the same shoes with those guys keep commenting on social media that they didn’t receive their products over a year and something. I’d definitely wait even more than a year with no issue if my desk was Serial Number 2 sponsored :) Anyways, love your videos, Andrew. Hopefully Dangerfox will get better on communication and hire more people or find more suppliers to not make their customers hate those amazing desks even before they arrive. Peace and love!

I noticed that this studio is in the attic, is this music space suitable for making music?

[@not_willdowns]

ADAT port being on the side is insanely odd imo.

[@balisaani]

My thoughts exactly - but in fairness, it's a desktop interface. Odd though, granted, but perhaps less so in practice - I don't know, I stay the hell away from Aardvark. audio interfaces (never mind the new Antelope name, it's the same people - trying to escape the stench of their former low quality products).

[@not_willdowns]

@ I had an Orion 32 for a while, software and compatibility was sooooo horrible even for my Mac. I simply will not do it again.

[@itsstudiotime]

Bummer to hear, I'm new to the antelope ecosystem so I suppose I missed the big problems era. I upgraded from the apogee symphony 32/32 mkii, and before that 2 apollo x16s + x8p. Solved features and workflow that neither had. I keep waiting for all of the issues I see in some comments, but only solutions and better workflow so far. I suppose you can only hope that business grow, learn and improve on past lessons.

[@magnivore1603]

Would LOVE and appreciate a full tutorial on Universal Audio Console, I haven’t seen a single video on YT that properly teaches you all the ins and outs on how to properly use it.

We love Gabe!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🤩

[@andrewjarvis7777]

LOVE it although I require a larger footprint for desk for some reason lol. would be GREAT to have a couple racks incorporated into it....although I'm quickly moving to digital lately. WHAT ARE THOSE LITTLE LIGHTS ON EITHER SIDE FACING BACK?!?

[@itsstudiotime]

I think they're little hue lights

[@andrewjarvis7777]

@@itsstudiotime great idea, never even thought to throw some light that way gonna have to give the amazon a quick search thnx lol

[@itsstudiotime]

A couple of lights to light up the speakers that are pointed away from you is such a nice vibe.

[@rtsasa1]

What computer monitor is that ?

[@meimarceau]

bro is the mr beast of studios

[@anflugde]

Whats the music at 09.00?

[@jjack93]

“24 hrs later” “I’ve been using is for about 3 or 4 days”

[@itsstudiotime]

Who knows - it all blurs together lol

[@PeterJensen7]

When you rack gear, please put in the bottom screws before the top ones. When removing from the rack, remove the tops first. Doing so very obviously removes stress on the panel.

[@itsstudiotime]

Thanks for the tip, i've been trying to figure it out for the last 15 years.

[@PeterJensen7]

This also means for those economizing on rack screws, use two on the bottom rather than the top or diagonally. There are nylon-cushioned pliers that can bend back a bent ear without damaging the panel or needing to remove it, for those who didn't follow this approach and hung the unit off the top for a second.

[@MichaTulik]

Lovely place! I hope that one day I'll be able to have a room like that 😀 Out of curiosity - what are the dimensions of this room?

[@itsstudiotime]

Thanks! The main part is 19’ x 19’

[@oishikplays]

9:15 i am a simple man. i see sob rock i give like

[@itsstudiotime]

Yes!

[@thecollectiveau5136]

I would have a while ago like the first desk but since I turned 30 I’ve preferred more of a minimalist look when it comes to the studio because why would I need a big desk taking up unnecessary space and gear that I never use.

[@itsstudiotime]

Knowing what you actually need and don't need is key to productive work. Kudos.

[@JoshuaKrell]

Did he say Dangerfox? Didn’t they go out of business or something? I saw a video recently that Colt did about them not delivering product after receiving deposits. Ah seeing the end of the video!

[@JohnMonto-tm9wc]

What??? No patch bay??? Awesome setup. Clean and functional.

[@itsstudiotime]

haha no patchbay necessary for 4 inputs

[@SiQuemaCuhh]

Setup is cool my only gripe is that you called it an in the box setup but there’s analog gear 🥲

[@darrylweller6143]

Is that a MacBook Air?

[@gabenealmusic]

Macbook Pro - M1 Pro! Still works like a dream 3+ years later.

[@300687p]

carefull with the de-esser over there :)

[@tonysync5198]

Intended to be a reply to a deleted comment about the desk pricing being unreasonable- Two sheets of half inch laminated birch plywood is $160. Edge banding will run you another $30 or so. The time to build and finish would likely exceed 8-12 hours, depending on your tooling and skills, may take longer. Say you make $35 an hour, consider $400 in labor. This is not including trips to the hardware store, or any of the 3u racks that come included. I build a platform clone for around $300 in materials and it was not ‘fun’. Desks like this are a niche market, and the pricing is based on the competition. There are not a lot of desks out there that can compete with the form factor and functionality of this out of the box. I would like this desk for my space, as the platform is a bit too large.

[@itsstudiotime]

I think homie deleted his comment not realizing he was talking with me. But yeah I totally agree, the biggest cost we pay is for convenience and time. Making stuff is hard and people who don’t run businesses can take for granted how much can go wrong and all of the up front investment that is required to make things. Kudos on the build.

[@jeremythornton433]

Desks? Ikea is your friend!

[@itsstudiotime]

Definitely been there!

[@braxal6983]

You are not kidding. I got my Genesis 24U I think 2 years ago and it took like 8 months to get when it said 10-12 weeks originally. I had my house tore up thinking I have within 10-12 weeks but nope more like 8 months. My wife was ready to kill me and I could not start or finish my studio projects. The desk is very nice. I wish it had more support in the middle where you put your keyboard and mouse. I think it bends too much. Other than that I love the desk. I like to buy more but not sure I like that wait time.

[@itsstudiotime]

It's a great desk - yeah outside of a metal frame I don't think it gets much better. At least I haven't seen any. But I love them.

[@braxal6983]

@@itsstudiotime You should see me this week. I got panels from Music City Acoustics thanks to you and Colt and I have made a real big production out of this project. My ceiling cloud should be up in the next hour. I am on lunch break right now. My wife is not going to like this part but I need her help. I wish Music City Acoustics had connections in some of these major hubs that can come install these panels.

the old desk is for me please

[@brendanmattson]

Yeah they did a nice job on that one, I would have kept it

[@charleymarkson]

dang, sorry but the desk before was way better, just needed to stain it & add a rack shelf. To me that little desk doesn’t match the space of the room & it’s getting dwarfed by the monitor & speakers. If I was a paying client I would’ve been more comfortable with the other desk.

[@itsstudiotime]

Well I appreciate you checking out the vid!

[@AmiliaCaraMia]

You’re not the one sitting at the desk. I don’t understand this comment.

[@77advanced]

To be honest, desk is awful)

@@itsstudiotimeI really like the desk I’m in a really small room and that would be such a cool desk to have for production!!!

[@Groovmaker]

I’m a big fan of Dangerfox and all of their other designs are hits to me, but I’m afraid these new budget desks are a miss. Just not aesthetically pleasing to me at all. 😢

[@vxe1392]

nice build but that desk looks like huge downgrade, to each their own

If only sponsors would send me things... maybe I should actually use what I have to make something. Then I could have sponsors. Then ???. Profit!
