[@MakePopMusic]

Yes I meant to say instrumental instead of detrimental at 0:22 It’s been an insanely busy couple months prepping for Black Friday and my brain is turning to soup right now 😂

[@dearvavy3112]

😊 I thought it was a music related troll 🤣 keep up the great content

[@charlie4460]

i love how u keep focusing on the beginner producers who are sometimes broke, lots of respect!!

[@MakePopMusic]

Wait until you see our video next week. It’s the polar opposite of this 😂

[@charlie4460]

@@MakePopMusic OHNO HAHA im already mentally preparing

[@Russplight]

HOLY sh@t dude. This was some killer tips on this one. Best part was when said "If you don't Cloud backup for 9 bucks a month, I don't know what to tell you". 🤣🤣🤣🤣You nailed it. Good looking.

[@Turtlpwr]

Holy crap those shock mic mounts, had no idea about those but absolute GAME CHANGER

[@lenardkentvillanueva8744]

You can never really underestimate how badly we need all these things.

[@DavidDiMuzio]

So many great ideas. Thanks Austin!! ✔️

[@YMIR]

One thing I ended up getting that was super useful was like a screw/hardware organizer drawer. I keep all my spare batteries, 1/4" adapters, picks, rubber feet, USB adapters, twist ties, etc. Literally any small thing is in there and close by for any quick fixes or random issues. It's above the 25$ mark for sure lol, but Gosh darn is it worth the investment. All those small things u keep losing, finally all in one place and organized 🔥

A window to open for example

[@zaa-flips-it]

If my studio doesn't smell like white girl feet then I don't want to be there 😂

[@ryantaylorlive]

The quick release mic clip is a game changer. Especially live. That lil Behringer h/p amp is also mega handy when the boys come over for a session

[@javierdelamorena1577]

The paint brush is absolute genius! Thanks for the list Austin :)

[@combs08]

I just bought that same headphone amp recently. I have no idea why I didn't buy one sooner. So convenient to switch from tracking headphones to mixing headphones without having to unplug from my interface.

[@RonaldRip]

I appreciate that you go for this kind of videos, details like this are important!

[@phanoonki]

really amazing tips! The brush - OF COURSE!!! But, I never thought of that. So simple but amazing for simple cleaning method. Good stuff!

[@lhpmusiccatalog]

This list is really great. I quickly looked up three of the items. So many lists that claim to be something like this are just filled with crap, but yours is the real deal. Thanks, Austin!

[@nikonlinevids]

Dude! The pegboard in the closet is totally genius! Thank you!

[@mikaelplanefeldt4255]

Dusting brush - ordered!

[@DoctorOscillatorMusic]

It’s so true all these items are things that come in so handy in the perfect moments

[@Raymanuelmuzik]

Man you don’t know much I needed that edge protector, love my desk but the edge was killing. You blessed me with that fam!!

[@MatthewKirkwold]

This might be the most useful studio improvement video on KZbin.

[@Juliano_DJOL]

Love that foam cornering! I am constantly throwing stickers and tape on corners from elbows!

[@marconicolaimusic]

I would have never thought of any of these things without this video… the paint brush 🤯

[@DoubleKStudios]

Sweet. A couple of those I use and soon will have more. Great info!!!!!!!

[@matthiettmusic]

I was literally just thinking “I wish makepopmusic would give some Christmas list help” 🙏🏻 praise!!

[@ericlee5935]

one of the best music production channels ever...thanks!

[@DustinPaul]

Reallllyyy useful and great video brother

[@hifidavid]

Great tips. Got my wish list updated and all set !

[@carriesolomonmusic]

Literally never heard of a mic quick release mount😂 Thank you, that’s such a great gift idea for myself!😊 and Backblaze sounds like a total lifesaver !

[@SimonCarranza]

Uuu this is the kind of video that I watch as a guilty pleasure ... But I loved the approach on this one ✨❤️🙌🏻

[@ZAY________]

I have 3 of the GatorFrameworks Mic quick release. Worth every penny. Beautiful and durable hardware too

[@BLACKF1R3OFFICIAL]

I'm a guitarist, songwriter, producer, and professional stagehand (I have built MAJOR concert stages for some amazing BIG name artists since June 6th, 2022 here in Orlando, FL., USA). Helpful Note: 1). You can get incense sticks at your local smoke shops as well. Call your local smoke shops first to confirm they sell these in person before wasting gas traveling to your local smoke shop.

[@Tailracehero]

I like the idea of the mic mount adapter! I use 3 or 4 mics and they're all on their own mic stands. One is a heavy (ish) tube mic, some condenser and dynamic ones. I think this is a great idea for my home studio. I also like the foam edging. This is a must! Thanks Austin!

[@harleymferris]

This is a phenomenal list, none of the usual gadgets others think we should have. Great suggestions, all of them. I just started using the bowl of picks a couple months ago, and I feel silly saying how much this made my life better. It seems so simple, but I have a small bowl I made on a school tour in Japan, and I keep a variety of picks in there. It's always in reach at my desk, and my ADHD brain is grateful every time I need a pick.

[@JacksonSadinsky]

yo backblaze is the realest one on this list !

[@johnplainsong9769]

Good ideas. I like your pegboard organizer. And I'm ordering one of those mic quick-release thingies; I didn't know they existed!

[@endlessflp]

wow the quick release mounts are goated

[@LeahSeabourne]

Ah, these are great Christmas present ideas, thanks!

[@diggityd4n16]

Detrimental items! Woo!

[@JulianFernandez]

quick realease thingy so cool

[@LarryGibsonMusic]

Thanks for another great video. Love the under $25 list you shared. A couple of the items you suggested will definitely be placed on my wish list. lol

[@noelleechenyee93]

Being so organised and clean show how professional Austin is. Such a valuable content. Thanks for putting out

[@itsWHOM]

This is one of the best of these style videos I've ever seen. Great job!

[@BryanSteacy]

I have smart lights in my studio as well as smart plug adapters. Best additional bit of gear to go with them is scene selection switches. I have a 4-button one I have assigned with various lighting options as well as options to power up and down certain pieces of gear. That way when walking out it's 3 buttons to turn off Everything. Also, a motion detector is great, I have one of those and when I or anyone else walks into the room it turns on the lights. Surprisingly handy.

[@chucknkd]

I have the same headphone amp/splitter in my mobile rig bag, def essential to have. The brush is essential, will get all the hard to reach spots on your physical typing keyboard as well. Mic quick releases, first thing that goes on my mics when i get a new one, soooooo much time saved. Gonna try the foam 😂

[@MichaeLance]

I was actually thinking about some new gear for the holidays. thanks man

[@basscase78]

Studio hacks!!! So helpful. Thank you

[@_M4YD4Y]

Soft paintbrush for gear is a classic ! Everybody NEEDS one or two !

[@PatrickRussellMusic]

I can't believe I've never heard of or seen a mic quick release until now.... Absurdly handy.

[@replicayouth]

Thanks for the gift ideas for my studio! Some of these I never considered or knew existed haha

[@uniQeZOR]

Great video, someone share this on Threads because too many people ask and the wrong suggestions are given :D

[@wakinglife7065]

Music tool box! Tool box with just music tools like batteries, string cleaner, wire cutters, screwdrivers, drum keys, Alan keys, strings, is an absolute life saver. Getting a normal tool box but just for music is such a go to. It’s the best thing I’ve done as far as organization. Also if you have no wall space the over door for wardrobes, lockers pockets are great space saving for cables. I wish I had enough room for the pegholes but I have guitars are the walls. But great list sir new sub 🫡

[@wakinglife7065]

Definitely like the desk foam and the paint brush

[@pirateshack9315]

Great tips Bud ! I'm re-arranging my studio so very helpful !

[@Top_Dawg360]

Can you do a video about how you come up with rhythm please? Coming up with a good melody doesn’t matter if you’re not good at adding rhythm to it. Maybe a video about all of the different styles of rhythm you know about?

[@MakePopMusic]

Honestly, that is just something that I feel when I work on music. I don't know how to teach it other than listen to a lot of music, study drummers, and familiarize yourself with different patterns that are common in genres.

[@flyoverfredusa]

excellent, some cool ideas there for sure

[@finleymurdock4050]

This is great! I have been so overwhelmed with Black Friday looming and wanted to grab a couple things for my studio.

[@JosiahShillow]

Love this channel! This was so informative! I’ve never thought about utilization vs cost of spending regarding equipment; very helpful! I’ll be investing in a lot of these items! Thanks Austin! 🎉

[@jeff_towers]

These are great ideas. My favorite is the lighting idea

[@EM0TI0N1]

What a way to fill an amazon Wishlist haha, Great video I have noted a lot of these really useful details for my build. Thank you for this

Awesome Tipps as always! Thanks!

[@tombasports]

Absolutely wonderful video and great advice didn’t even realize how much foam edges on the desk would be more comfortable

[@curtismech]

Awesome! Some cool ideas - just in time to give stocking stuffer ideas to my wife. 😁

[@keenanearle2173]

Bro that Brush is such a good idea. I'm going to go buy one now!

[@jackieferrarimusic]

I love how detailed you are in your videos. Might consider getting the pegboard. Thanks for sharing!

[@markkbush]

Quick release mic mounts are the best!

[@PRESTONCVRTER-q8k]

[@inwex8350]

One thing ive been buying are moisture absorption bags/traps. Especially if you're a bedroom producer.

[@coryfeldman-hz2yj]

I took my studio CPU off the internet. Its easy to move a hard drive from the laptop if I need a sample pack or to upload. I get no surprise updates, bloatware stays small, no internet notifications and it makes the space more professional by not being personalized or a spot to watch movies.

[@hahnermusic]

There is one thing I love and it is videos that are informative and straight to the point. Thanks man. ❤

[@DANYALLAYNAD]

8:23 microfiber cloth is probably best for this. Won’t scratch anything. Learned this the hard way using a brush to clean the dust cover for my vinyl player and it scratched the life out of it. Microfiber cloths cost like €3 for 5

[@brandonroskom5890]

i have 2 headphone splitters as well, super easy for extra function, HA400s Behringer

[@marblestoday4526]

I didn’t even know that cloud backups were a thing! Seems insanely helpful!

actually good choices

This a dope video I try to show the little hidden gems but you know they don’t listen unless you jeweled 💎 💎 up

[@edmundwillower]

I think it was Karl Stolley wrote a great piece some years ago called the "lo-fi manifesto" and that really spoke to me. I've just been using a cheap Behringer audio interface and some pedals and I like the guitar tone I'm getting most of the time for just goofing around. I have some nicer gear too but more fun to just use what you have around or won't break the budget.

[@harleycampbell3614]

Inspiring, as usual!

[@MaxSimsMusic]

Nice one! I usually use inexpensive fragrance clones from Lattafa or Afnan as a room spray, best bang for the buck

[@rjkral]

Really great list! Instant sub!
