Remember guys all of this happened just to look at StackOverflow

[@alejandrohagad628]

Looks really clean Chief! Good job to both of you guys making all the efforts on the makeover. I’m sure it wasn’t easy. Great content as always.

[@maxilogan75]

The New York poster (which is actually not a poster, as it's printed on a metal + wood surface) is beautiful. I went with an identical one after having done a makeover of my own office/gaming room 😊

[@Nqrgaard]

Helpful tip: When you want clean and straight edges use masking tape as you do, paint on top of the tape with the color there is below the tape (white). When it is dry you can paint with the new color and just paint on the tape it self. When you have painted the last time remove the tape while it is still wet. Then you will have a very clean edge 😊 I have done that multiple times and I also frame my wall, to remove some of the imperfections of the wall/house

[@niclas67878]

This is the real pro tip here! This is how professionals do it and it gives you razor sharp edges. The downside is, you have to paint all of the walls to get consistent base color (white for example)

[@gajewskilukasz1]

You should do that next time. Corners look unfortunately bad. Same as wall - you should try to make a plaster finish

[@Nqrgaard]

@@kurtlamprecht93 🤣🤣🤣 yes they do. I don’t believe pros. can do a perfectly line all the way over a wall or from floor to ceiling. I agree they don’t use tape when painting around doors or ceilings, but there they also have a line to follow. If you have texture on a wall it is even harder to paint a perfect straight line 😊

[@DataProfessor]

Awesome, thumbnail #4 made it, great desk makeover! The thought process is definitely super helpful for inspiring our own setup.

[@georgewithmore8972]

Very interesting. I'm one of those who think that reforming workspaces has to do not only with a matter of practicality or efficiency, but also with productivity, inspiration, personality, and even encouragement. For people with less experience, this can be quite difficult, but it's always advisable to start with the furniture. The chair and desk are key. Last year, I bought a new, super ergonomic HON chair, and two months ago my wife added a Barcelona Designs Protractor Desk to our small home office. We still have things to change, but we are on the right path. Nice makeover! ;)

[@alpinehawk3738]

Thanks again for the all effort you put into making this video. Cant wait to see what else you have in store for us. Keep up the good work.👍

[@LadyTreyah]

I've been waiting for family to come to my apartment and redo my living room. It would be such a dream to have a set up just like this. But when you're on a limited income it makes it extremely hard to get components like this for a desk. Great Job. Really love it.

[@djidk]

Awesome video! Usually I skip around other desk setup videos but you do a great job keeping these videos very interesting. God bless!

[@joosteillebrecht1823]

Oh holy smokes setup makeovers are sick :D really excited for this vid, and the new edit with the names of everyone in the vid with their role looks awesome. Nice vid over all, have a nice day Andres:)

A2+ speakers can actually have two audio sources at one time playing through. I use them plugged into my Mac Studio and a Custom PC. You can independently control the audio mix via each machine independently and use the A2+ as the master. Worked out perfectly.

Great video man! I actually just graduated from coding dojo last week lol been Watching your videos for a long time now so crazy to see they sponsored a video!

[@fleischer444]

As someone who knows a lot of painters. Lots of paint on the rollers. 😊 paint the masking tape with the other wall colour. Then you don’t have to repaint and you get crisp lines between two colours.

Awesome Bru a job well done wow that's one dope setup right there.... Wow I'm impressed great job

Not sure if it's more expensive, but there are round continuous light panels that are flat. The softbox is quite deep, so it'll take up a lot of space up there in the corner.

I've watched a handful of our videos recently, and I just had to pause during the intro of his one to write this comment. Your videos are superb. Your quality of office makeovers is unmatched, as well as the video quality and editing itself. You have my subscription. I'm not the kind of person to go out and buy all of the latest tech, but I absolutely search high and low for the best product offerings to keep for a while. The recommendations I have been given through your videos alone have helped me so much already in getting my home office set up in a totally reimagined way. Keep up the quality work, my friend!

For my setup from a couple years ago I went with a Rode PodCaster Pro mic on a Rode boom paired with an M-Audio interface (which has a nice hi res ADC and an extra input for plugging in another mic or audio source); I used a 43” 4K LG has my main screen (which has 4 HDMI, can power my laptop thru USB-C and can do PiP and split screen all 4 inputs simultaneously); mounted everything on arms, including the laptop and the audio interface too. Now thinking I might swap out the interface for an SSL 2+ instead and/or looking at things like the Roland Bridgecast or Yamaha AG08; also looking at how I might be able to add a LoupeDeck CT to make more things convenient (I have a lot of music gear too so a lot of these things serve double duty ;-)
