Minimalist Bedroom Studio Setup Guide For Music Producers, Beat Makers, & Songwriters

I've setup a small 'studio' and I don't even have to get out of bed! This setup is perfect for home studio music producers that have minimal space but want to produce a lot of music.

Duude.. Been following for about 5 years and I don't think I've ever seen you sing. Keep it up!

[@Taetro]

that's true! thanks for watching :)

[@avortex1288]

Same, I was quite surprised when I saw him start singing.

[@malab12]

you mean auto tune ? no hate lmao

[@auntychrist6871]

He used autotune

[@dymmalowitz5465]

Ahah. The first word that came to my mind after he started to sing was "duude"

[@Its_gizm0]

For those who are just now getting started, you should know that a lot of Midi keyboards come with lite versions of a DAW you may be interested in. The MiniLab MkII and the Launchkey Mini MK3 both come with Ableton Live lite :)

[@willykaycee8866]

Hello, do you use ableton?

[@darris1939]

It takes like 1 second to download the full version of ableton for free lmao

Thank you so much for not only explaining it a bit easier for beginners but also telling us how we can save money and when we won't need certain things

[@jposso1989]

justamente estoy montando un studio en mi espacio, me gustan mucho sus videos y todo lo que haces.. admiro tu trabajo y voy adelante aprendiendo de a poco

[@YFGP1]

Yes, sir. My point also. I'll do a video today with everything you ACTUALLY need to make some music. So, thank for the inspiration. Also, love the vocals. Smooth!

[@elijah_craft]

Tons of value brother! Thanks so much for the video. Your talent and skill are amazing btw.

[@angelpotatoe1]

im a music student that spent years studying classical music and has no background in production so i have 0 clue what im doing but I got a decent recording setup and a new midi keyboard so im gonna see where this takes me

[@Taetro]

You can do it

[@Shakawkaw]

And how's your journey been going?

[@akutosai29]

Great video. I've just got my bedroom studio up and running on Live 11 with like for like products that you have shown. It's a great basic setup to start creating. Thanks for your advice and all the Ableton videos too, they are extremely helpful.

[@skylerplaysdrums]

Just saw this video. Thank you for posting. I am a long time drummer/percussionist looking to explore the electronic/beat-making/recording side of things, and how I can incorporate into my acoustic setup. I'm so new to all of this, but recently purchased the arturia minilab mk2 and it came with abelton and some plug ins.

[@mariedaisy5292]

Thank you SO MUCH, that's all I needed! :) Good video, very helpful, very clear and Simple. Thanks again. Keep it up💜

[@SandiDragoi]

Brother dear... you've just answered a series of questions I've been pondering for a while now regarding electronic music, home (bedroom, rather) studio set-up, getting ready when the muse falls in love with one for no particular reason other than the love for music... I guess, and you sing beautifully, too! I much appreciate who you are and what you do!

[@Taetro]

Glad I could help! :)

[@richardburris3610]

Again, you are a big bag of useful information in this Art. Thank you!

[@laniakeafilament2730]

thank you~! super minimalist. very helpful especially now during the research phase when things can get pretty overwhelming

[@FusionsVids]

Just wanted to say you inspire me man. I've been learning FL Studio for a couple months now to make beats and today, I got my first MIDI keyboard (an Arturia Microlab) and I already feel so much more comfortable creating melodies this way rather than by manually dragging the notes in. As I get better I might get a more 'advanced' controller and take a look at Ableton, it's really motivating to see what you create with this DAW :)

[@Taetro]

i really appreciate the kind words my friend. thank you. Sounds like you're making great progress. Keep going!!

[@lhakpanorbusherpa2023]

Bruh i need help. I am not finding a perfect way to start with fl studio iam lost currently with my lyrics

Thank you, this is super helpful dude!

[@lc4u412]

found a few of your videos yester comparing midi controllers and I must say I am a fan of how your approach to how you do your videos and music! You have sold me on the arturia minilab mk2 and I cannot wait to start working with it and to check out some more vides cause im still new to Ableton I used to work with Sony Acid Pro in the back half of the early 2000's. I thoroughly enjoy this channel and glad I found it

[@MrWiley3]

Thank you for the very well made video. I am a DJ and I'm starting my set up off the gear I already own. I love the track you made and want to thank you again for the inspiration. Your awesome sauce. 👍🏽💯

[@codeWithYoussouf]

Thanks for the video! I learned a lot about what’s needed to make music from my very first search with your video.

Great content! Very nice song, too. Thanks for doing this.

This is the perfect explanation for what a beginner needs. And I'm a beginner. This explained perfectly all types of stuff I would need for Music. Thanks bro, with every video I see of you I learn something new.

Really helpful vid. Thanks!

[@danishbeats3942]

I love minimalist style

[@PaulWalkerMuso]

Your videos are really helpful man - cheers!

[@zackthefreeman]

Great video. I would add two points. Something that often gets overlooked when choosing a computer is fan noise. I have a burly beast of a gaming laptop which meets all the specs and can handle anything I throw at it, but it makes way too much noise for me to have a microphone anywhere near it. The other factor to consider has to do with the headphones you choose. In addition to choosing on-ear or over-ear, there are closed-back and open-back headphones. Closed-back is the most ideal as they will lead to less bleed picked up by the microphone, especially if you're playing with a click.

[@DielectricFailure]

I really love the set up you have. I’m about to finish my set up this weekend and I’m feeling really psyched about it.

[@malafob]

Very good Taetro!! I enjoyed this one extremely!! Nice Part Hearing you singing the First time . Very very good! Im learning FL Studio and Caustic 3 actually. Im a Beginner and its so much fun!

Thanks. This was a great video which did help a lot. My goal is to have a bedroom studio and this is just going to be a hobby for me. My only dedicated audience will be myself. So, I am assuming that minimalist is more acceptable.

You can also do stuff on Linux on relatively affordable laptop if you're relatively skint and want to make an effort to set up the system.

[@tybrady4598]

Rode has a new mic that has USB-C out. NT1 5th generation, $250. That means no interface is needed, so that would save a hundred bucks. It’s a 32 bit mic, which means no clipping and no levels to set.

[@Taetro]

It looks like a great mic. You’ll still set your levels, but 32 bit float means if peaking happens, it won’t be a big problem

It brings me joy seeing (my) Akai MPK mini around :D What do you think of iPad (/tablet) music production? Well, maybe 'production' is a strong word for me: I'm looking to get a full 88key midi keyboard and I need a sound source for it (cause I can't really use it at the computer), so I thought I'd get an iPad... I can have my piano vsts in there and any sound basically. And I can use Cubasis as a light daw - just to record and sketch stuff... are 3-ish GB of RAM enough?... Actually I'm not sure between iPad air 3 (newer), 3 GB, or iPad pro 2017 (so older...) but 4GB RAM...

[@gdavid9219]

Really love your videos 😄😁👌 That is exactly what I am doing 😂 I have quick question Can use this exact setup but instead of my Akai I am using ddj sb3 And my mic connected to the interface To record and play and mix music live To have the best while I am recording Can use this method with ableton anAbleton and I need to be able to use my DJ perfectly and mic to

[@oscarbostonov9823]

Can you tell, what camera do you use for filming? And maybe any other equipment, like lightbox or smth? Looks fantastic!

[@emfeller3335]

Man, wish I saw this as a kid. Grown up now and finally figuring all this stuff out. I have been thinking of getting a mini midi controller. I have a full length keyboard with midi control but there’s not a good place to set up next to my desk with my mic and I just end up not creating as much going between the keyboard and back to the desk for vocals.

[@Lennroe]

Have you considered a small lap top stand on wheels next to the keyboard. That's what I do.

[@patricelefourn4782]

As usual, great done. In my case, because i'm at first guitar player, the optional things are SonicPort VX from Line6, a Yamaha THR10 as interface and speakers, my little Marshall headphone, and the audio in my van as studio mixer and for some takes. I do miss a keyboard, probably the Novation, or new Akai or NI, before XMAS I wish. I do hope my english is enough for you to understand.

[@Taetro]

good insight! using the van audio is a great way to test mixes :)
