[@AnneReburn]

Use this as the "I feel bad for Phase 2 and Phase 3 Anne" button

[@samzeyel8220]

i'll try to remind that, since i shall move myself in few month

[@allbreit66]

I don't think I would let attitude Anne help with phase 2 or 3. That attitude Anne never smiles, does not seem to be happy in any of the videos. I am not even sure if you should have her in your next music video. She is such a trouble maker, look what she tried to do in your cover of Take On Me video. lol

[@paw2w82]

you should make jingle for it

[@gregkientop559]

An adventure. You made me laugh with your "endless tangle of cables" jingle. Been there, doing that...

[@jaygee6738]

The metal things in the filing cabinet are stops to keep your hanging files from sliding back when you don't have the drawer full. Remember... fill up the bottom two drawers first to not allow the cabinet to tip over as well.

[@4thorder]

You remind me of one of my daughters. The one that can use something way beyond its expiration date, and it will stay in pretty darn good shape, lol.

[@WaltMossberg]

This is a great reminder of how much work it is to be an independent artist, even if you’re talented. Thanks so much for taking us behind the scenes on this. Thanks for inviting kazoo clone. And thank goodness there are two more Annes! Poor women.

[@arthurmead5341]

She's not one really. Her "career" has hit absolute rock bottom

[@penultimateh766]

Anne Reburn, glamorous hollywood start and drywall master!

[@garyg3927]

Thank you for sharing ❤❤

[@monkwhitley]

Been watching your journey for years now and never posted so glad you have your own space. Good luck with all you do , If you are capable of putting together those amazing musical arrangements I'm sure you'll have no problem with your new studio . Love and best wishes from the UK 🙏😇

[@delliott777]

Anne! The “endless tangles of cables” song is great, seriously. Have you considered doing “jingles” for commercials? Your talent is endless. How’s your handsome hubby?

[@julianfkeller]

Really wonder how the phase 2 box fort will turn out.

[@Another_Rando_Boomer]

You are even more interesting when you are just talking. I love your passion and excitement for this project. A couple of ideas that you might look into. Oh, I kinda do this for living so sorry if I’m bossy.First if you remove the wood shelving and brackets in the closet, you could purchase taller shelving which might better utilize that higher space. Also, you might consider, if there’s enough space, to placing the file cabinet in the closet as well. Depending on how much document storage you actually need consider that unused drawer space for storing other things than just paper. You might try looking for shelving and storage bins, etc at Harbor Freight Tools. The items may not be the cutest but for closet storage it is very affordable. Finally, I know this may be a little pricey, but consider a Murphy bed. It would free up a lot of floor space and still have a bed for guest. I find that IKEA has some good prices and selection. And finally you should paint before adding anything else to the room. It is easier and the job will come out much better. Sorry if I came off bossy. Btw I love your rendition of Stupid Cupid. It was great and I think Connie Frances would agree. Best of luck.

[@michaelwildman971]

Anne, hello. What you are doing with your studio looks really good. I'm impressed. I have a few ideas for you to consider. For your chair, try elastic band chair covers so you can easily change the colors. OR, if it is wood underneath the chair, you could wrap and staple on new fabric. For your closet, consider a rack with wheels so you can pack it full but still access everything by pulling/rolling it out.. For room acoustics, try cardboard type egg cartons or fabric wall hangings for an inexpensive approach. It's always great to hear you sing, but, it was cool to hear ya talk too.

[@kennrothman205]

Thank you SO much for sharing this "adventure" with you, Anne! It's looking great so far ( well, except for that desk chair ( wink wink ) but looking forward to the next session!

[@erniejohnson8727]

I like the cable song! 🎶 😊

[@stevenhenthorne2]

Anne, YT gave me Part 3, then Part 2. I waited for Part 1. I'm big into colors so I'm OK with a color discussion. :-) I like seeing thy personality come out in these videos.

[@felipecesarlourenco8955]

love your vids, i`m about to start my home studio and it`s good to see other projects, thanks for sharing, you`re such a talent human being

[@mryan3123]

I'm sure that in the end, the studio will turn out great. FYI, get a pack of zip ties for the loose cables. They are cheap, easy to use, and they will round up the cables very nicely. I'm looking forward to phase 2 and 3.

[@JudyCZ]

It's a little thing but also one of my my pet peeves so I'll publicly appreciate it - thank you for automatically putting on the screen the dimensions in metric under the imperial.

[@Klangraum]

I have also dealt with acoustic treatment measures. There are a few classic rules. 1. Set up bass traps in 2 or 4 corners (your bed is a bass trap too) 2. Absorbers behind the speakers. 3. Absorber/diffuser combination on the side surfaces (also as a stand, if there is a window/door, a thick curtain does it too) 4. Diffusers on the back (a book shelf is a diffusor too) 5. Optional absorber on the ceiling (above the listening position) 6. Carpet on the floor. You don't have to build everything with it, if only because of it can get expensive. The thicker the absorbers, the lower frequencies are lowered. While foams look good and are fairly cheap, they are the worst materials for this purpose. Materials such as acoustic wool, acoustic felt, acoustic wadding are better suited. Soft = absorber, hard = diffuser. Everything in the room also reduces the reverberation. Don't make the room dead (to much of all). Your headphones are basically dead rooms, which has disadvantages. Your listening position is good, speakers on earlevel, stereo triangle.

[@ParleX]

"The power of community", love it!❤❤❤You're such a wise person, I could only regret there's not a lot of such people nowadays...

[@BL3446]

More vlog content like this please! Love the behind the scenes vibes.

[@Brian3989]

One way to control all those cable is velcro straps. More flexible than plastic ties.

[@sammongzar5583]

My heartiest congratulations for your better growth. Keep rocking and best wishes Anee.

[@joeokabayashi8669]

Looking forward to subsequent phases! - AND MORE Music!!!!!

[@bsvenss2]

2:47 _tetrising_ *?!?!* I've never heard that expression before. It's genius!

[@samspade7360]

Don't tell anyone, but I save all my computer, etc. equipment empty boxes too. There's no feeling as satisfying as knowing your stuff is sitting safely snuggled in custom packing during the move! 😁

[@KevinKitten]

Loving the kazoo fanfares!😃

[@augustomet]

Amazing that you get to do such a great job on that space

[@moeball740]

Uhh, just gonna say, Anne, one of my most satisfying moments in my late 20s was when I finally started earning enough to be in my own apartment...in SoCal...without needing roommates! Life is really so much better when the whole place is yours! So here's hoping that day is coming for you when you are successful enough to make that happen!

[@jenssorensen4482]

A few thoughts for your consideration, cable management as an earlier poster suggested velcro wraps; think about room perimeter shelving above door frame height for added storage, may need collapsible 3 step ladder for easy access( we hang ours on closet door). Oh becareful with empty boxes...they seem to multiply in storage!

[@resistor27]

I’m learning. I moved two years ago and all my gear is still in boxes in my “spare” bedroom. Thanks!

[@DameEdnaBrown]

Great job Anne, i could watch you organise things all day

[@johnforsyth7987]

I definitely put a lot of work into your new studio. I am very interested in how the next phases work out for you.

[@redchandler]

Entertaining and informative video Anne!

[@alainturcotte5583]

You are so funny Anne 😃. But why didn’t you ask for the help of your clones? It would have been way faster. I hope you’ll have a big professional studio one day. But you are doing magic with what you have. Keep up the good work. I love everything you do. Love from Canada 🇨🇦

[@tapiorinne]

This is a really interesting episode. Work in progress..

[@jenssorensen4482]

I can't say how much watch phase 1 has brighten my day...I actually burst out laughing a few times; but many spontaneous smiles. My better half and I (me quietly supervising) are on an extended reorganization project. As empty nesters, after 48 years of marriage and 20 plus years in the same 4 bed 2 bath house, we are culling our treasures(trash) to simplify our golden/silver/maybe copper years. PLEASE KEEP POSTING, SINGING AND ENTERTAINING, to quote- " You light up my life!"

[@yourbrokenoven]

aww. I love the grey floors.

[@thealanmurphy]

2:06 looking like the big bad wolf dressed up as the grandma imo

[@TechTVusa]

If you are running out of closet space you should buy a storage cabinet. That is what I did. You can put it in your bedroom or your living room. I am hip to shopping for chairs. I have been using the same chair for a long time and I need to get a new one but I just haven't seen anything as good as what I have now.

[@richardabrown]

Thank you for sharing I hope in part 2 and 3 you have your clones telling you of for your decision

[@nowthenzen]

14 mins of Anne being adorable!

[@57thorns]

I work from home with no enforced video chats, and my flat is pretty cold, so you outfit at the start looks about what I would wear. Bathrobe and warm blanket club!

[@LesPetitsChefs]

Hi Anne, very interesting this vlog to see how you will work to create a home Studio! Can't wait to see next vlogs.

[@matthewhansen2126]

I’m very happy to have discovered this great channel.

[@ron95754]

I have not found the video for steps 2 and 3...LOVE this one.

[@bookdealer8933]

Great to see, enjoyed seeing a glimpse of your life 😀

[@ohadtes1]

This is so interesting! I can't wait for the next phases!

[@steveyountz9184]

Anne..............At the top of the video I thought I noticed a bit of 'sibilance', but I am old so it might just be my ancient ears. It is great that you can manage a place by yourself and I hope that things only gets better. 😎

[@rjperez1554]

I got hooked when you sing old songs 70s 80s

[@jcecil2930]

You get that studio the way you want it, Anne. Keep working on it.

[@chazlang659]

Your voice must be excellent singing. Can't wait to here.

[@andrewshear2927]

That is so cool that your doing this.

[@lj5899]

Thanks for being my "other people" in this series, learning a lot and looking forward to next phases!

[@R0DNEY.]

Congratulations Anne. Sounds like a good location for your new studio, but I really hope you find something much better soon. I hope you do your job better and better. You're great. Oh, I'd like to see you do Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen. I'm sure it would be perfect.

[@marklapierre5629]

The song says it never rains in southern California. ;-) Those metal things are to put behind your hanging folders if the draw is not full. It help to keep your folders from exploding. ;-) Can't wait to watch Part 2.

[@ufo7180]

Very nice and qute your new Homestudio. Keep it up Anne

[@nilskrumnack8699]

From my experience with my own adjustable height desk: You can have an awful amount of stuff on there, mine is rated for well over 300lb. So it could carry not just the weight of all the stuff you have on it, but your weight on top of it, and still be well below the weight capacity. And it moves rather slowly, so things you have on there generally won't move, you just need to make sure you route the cables so that they don't snag on anything. Also, one of the underappreciated aspects of height adjustable is that you can do micro adjustments to the height as you sit slightly differently throughout the day (e.g. sometimes I just sit nice and tall, and other times I seem to slouch over and it feels more comfortable to lower the desk a little bit).

[@mateuscrevelin3394]

Having only seen her song videos, I always wondered what her personality looked like... seeing it for the first time, I may say I very much like it.

[@pauldykier51]

Very nice

[@michaellichter4091]

Der 3 Phasenplan gefällt mir gut, da bin ich schon auf die anderen Phasen gespannt. 👍

[@erikgeorge3770]

awesomeness ... cant wait for the finished project

[@sparkyguitar0058]

I know and understand the closet thing. Guitar player, have guitar equipment. But found a new electric drum set cheap, friend sold me his bass cheap, got a medium sized P A cheap, found keyboard setup for free. Friends giving me amp and pedals and mic stands. So since I'm not playing out at this time my closet is so full. Tetris stacked is a great way to put it.

[@ulysisxtr]

The coffee break interlude hahahahahahahah perfect....

[@joaocalheiros]

Hi Anne! I love this video because I want to transform one room in my studio/guest room, and finally I found the perfect video for my idea. This video is a great video with a good idea. 😉 I'm waiting for the next videos. 😎👍

[@chrisevans9779]

orange and blue go really well with the fantastic curtians . as for the pink lamp . . . . 2 to 3 more primary rainbow color accent pieces throughout the space would go well with the vintage green - orange - and some sort of darker brighter blue in the space . a single framed poster or a painting or print could go on the wall over the bed to go with the lamp and with a little purple and or pink in the poster-print-painting the lamp would fit just right. even a lava lamp - like a rainbow or pink - or purple one would work .

[@its_serge]

Looks so cozy👍

[@ulissedazante5748]

The "endless tangle of cables" may need some work to a full song. Will pair well with "dust philosophical song". A "wall pox" ballad, next?

[@proehm]

From having done this over the years - Printer on top of the filing cabinet. If you are dealing with slap echo, make a 1x2 frame about 3' x 4' Staple a moving blanket to it then staple a piece of cloth (like a bed sheet) over that. Make sure that both wrap around to the back for aesthetics and to space it off the wall. Hang loosely. For a bass diffuser, same but a 12 - 18" tube hanging from ceiling. For editing same kind of wall diffuser behind desk only pure white with a high lamp shining down onto it (lamp same color temp as monitor. - This is so your eyes have a pure white field for color correction.)

[@marekvnencak9757]

Thank you soo much for your work. You are making my day better. 🙂🎆

[@dbrown4bbl]

Well, that was refreshing.

[@edsonholgado]

Extrañaba los Vlogs c':, sigue subiendo más contenido de este tipo! 🤩🤩🤩

[@amazingbollweevil]

You should narrate audiobooks. Your voice is just so soothing

[@AnneReburn]

I'm not sure how to get those jobs, but I totally would! :D

[@nialldunsmore8336]

Nice! You could definitely get an adjustable standing desk with a flexible cabling solution; I forget who used it, but it’s definitely common among producers atm

[@davidhall5005]

Well Done With Production Value : )

[@elendiastarman]

The part about your 10-year-old chair really got me lol. I'm sitting on one that's 5 years old, the faux leather surface is peeling, the bottom is covered with a dozen layers of duct tape, and a few months ago I bought a pillow to fill in as the seat cushion, which has been completely flat for three years...

[@AnneReburn]

Sounds familiar 😂 If you wait another 5 years your chair could be just like mine!

[@mattkean1128]

This put me in the mood to reorganize my space and I will never forgive you for it 😄

[@tallmccartneymusic]

youre so thorough about every step, its impressive haha. I have no such patience

[@jc3drums916]

"Endless Tangle of Cables" reminds me a bit of "Ruins" by George Is Jones. I dig it.

[@Vasily_Ladozhsky]

Hi, Annie! It's me again with my lame English. You say: make fun of me if you want. Let the one who does not know how to do anything and does not try to do it laugh. And I'm glad for you that you now have more space for creativity. My dream for you is that someday you will buy your own house, in which your order will always be. The video turned out to be awesome. I think the studio will also be cool. And I choose colors as carefully as you do. Mental comfort depends on them.

[@ThatBoomerDude56]

4:45 It's impossible for any reasonable person to see an empty box anywhere near that size and NOT think "oooh! a fort!"

[@AnneReburn]

I knew my viewers were good, reasonable people

[@frazzledude]

When I was a boy my dad bought a grand piano, which came in a wood crate. After the piano movers finished putting the piano together and moving it into our living room, my dad asked them to leave the crate for me and my brothers to use as a fort. It was the best fort ever! And the piano is currently in my downstairs music room.

[@ralphwood5875]

Anne this is a delightful Phase 1vlog ,it really gives us a glimpse of who you are in rt .I have a suggestion for Phase 2,why not get a few clones to help. ,You could argue with them and even if you do'n't get a consensus it would be fun to see how you discipline them. Love your work ,was hoping to see you at the Grammies ...next year for sure. Then there could be fun dressing all the cltnes in different fabulous gowns .I'm sure Taylor or Beyonce would let you have some hand me downs. I'd love to see next year' e with you as the star with arms full of trophys along with Morgan James and Tatania Eva Marie as supporting cast . Take care keep doing what you do I do so love your work and talent, I admire you so much. X

[@frankliebe]

an good studio needs an storage-room/area nearby (next to it). with that you can decide which gear you exchange directly without letting the studio-space coming smaller and cruel ;) building up an studio is mostly an heavy time impact and in my chase the current duration is approx. 10 months - but I am doing that just next to my real full time job.

[@ronrushing7006]

I know what you mean about room size, I have the same problem with my small studio, good luck with your project, If your like me you like to be organized, everything in its own space. By the way I love your videos, hope one day you might make videos on all your equipment and explain how you make your music videos!!!!

[@mayort2688]

Watching other people work is tiring. Thankfully the coffee machine made an appearance and reminded me to take a break.

[@S3NWO7]

Hello from France 👋

[@hollt693]

Thank you for sharing! As someone who uses his bedroom as a multipurpose fabrication shop and art studio, I appreciate the struggle of trying to do professional work within a limited residential space! Thank you for showing your process and mishaps with such candor. At first I couldn't understand why you were talking about people judging you for looking like you "just rolled out of bed" in some of the clips, and other things like that. I thought it was just a joke, because why would anyone care? But then I remembered that the internet has no shortage of pathetic haters who like to pick apart and degrade every little aspect of a person's appearance, while simultaneously accusing the person of being shallow and vain. It's almost funny, in a sad and troubling way. But anyway, keep on keeping on! I appreciate all the light and positivity you bring into the world!

[@raymondtalbot6104]

Hmmm, phase 2&3 Ann is going to be quite busy... 😐be prepared for a bit of backlash 😉Most cardboard boxes are "cat traps" but that one is large enough to be a tiger trap, so be careful! 😋

[@cliveclapham6451]

I think we need a "saving it for phase 2" song and sequel "phase 3 song" 🎯

Plastic bread bag clips make great labels for identifying the ends of cables. Write on them with a marker pen.

[@Graphicxtras1]

Need to test my room for poor acoustically areas ... wow, and there are software tests for that. Great video, fascinating worrying about the swatches for the chair etc (and standing desk)

[@barrydanielpetersen7416]

Great start. Instead of a standing desk, have you considered a bar height one and a taller desk chair? So much easier to "slide" out into a walk especially if you are going from recording back to the desk to edit.

[@O1OO1O1]

Katy Bowman will solve your sitting needs (or complicate them, but in a helpful way). I also feel you should read Getting Things Done by David Allen. It's actually not about getting things done. It's a set of problem solving tools.

[@kairon156]

I started with your 2nd video about this and I know all too well how flaky these type of chairs can get. After all my other needs are gotten I would love a simple fabric chair. :)

[@TheGearaxyz95]

As someone who is getting everything for a home studio, this is pretty useful, thanks a lot for this, Anne. PD: Let's hope Anne phase 2 and 3 understand.

[@AnneReburn]

I didn’t talk much about my music gear, because that’s all stuff I’ve had for years now! But if you have questions about that too, I can link stuff!

[@kevincarambot4749]

Oh boy, my shop has about 25 phases to go. I have to stop to listen to your soothing music. No wonder I don't get anything done. I am an avid DIY er.
