3 Things I wish I knew before setting up my Home Studio...

[@genaopictures6578]

4:40 Thats something every artist needs to be reminded of every week!! Loved it

[@biogeniclife]

Every good home studio should have a copy of Rick Rubin’s book. It can just give you a little inspirational nudge if you need it.

[@s0ld4u]

Rick Rubin :b I use Eno's Oblique Strategies.

[@toddj9548]

No thanks.

[@amaxlevin]

Your setup and workflow looks near frictionless in regard to the creative process. Thanks for sharing your insights and dope space. Very inspiring!

[@PatrickBreenMusic]

Appreciate the comment, my friend!

[@AntelopeAudio]

Beautiful studio 👏🏼

[@PatrickBreenMusic]

THANK YOU!!

[@Nethanel773]

I'm a beginner in building my own home recording studio. Your advice is much appreciated. Thanks for putting this up.

[@StanleyMolina-z9m]

Soon as I saw the Roland JC amp at the beginning, I knew I could trust this man.

[@PatrickBreenMusic]

real ones know 🤝

Awesome video man. Super helpful!

[@PatrickBreenMusic]

Glad to hear it!

[@riffdex]

You can just get a mixing board and connect it to the two-input interface. Swap out instruments using the inputs on the mixer

[@devonc99]

do you connect audio metering devices through the mixer? I’m really not trying to get a new interface but I cant connect any of my db displays or spectrum analyzers, would it be better to go the preamp receiver route? I really don’t mind digital mixers but analog mixers seem like a cheaper way to get more inputs

[@scopex2749]

I have all my guitars in cases dust doesnt do them a lot of good the same as temperature/ humidity changes. You might want to see how that works.🙂

[@beatsbyraxx3844]

Dem outfit changes 😂😂

[@biogeniclife]

I focused on a lot of hardware and synths and I’m now trying to get the recording and computer daw working with it. I’m definitely going to use templates how you have it set up but for my own needs. These were great ideas.

[@tigerjar5251]

Very inspiring, thank you, scratch that itch is all the advice I need…

[@biogeniclife]

I wanted to get the Tascam Model 12 because it’s a multitrack recorder and audio interface which handles many connections but I have a mixer and maybe I need to look at some rack mounted interface too. I’ll keep looking. I know a lot of people say good things about the model 12 but I’m going to do more research.

[@deaddoll1361]

Personally, I think starting off with a small interface is the way to go. Being a musician is financially taxing enough, especially as a student. I spent quite a sum collectively just on vocal lessons, without buying any "gear". Adding a couple of guitars and amps, a keyboard etc is expensive enough. The whole home studio is potentially a massive money pit, and can get in the way of the reason you started, which was to create music. Gear acquisition syndrom can be overwhelming as can the financial strain. The gear industry is well versed in luring their prey, and although it's guitar players that are the easiest victims, home studio types are on the radar as well. Look at all the KZbin channels aimed at vocalists, there aren't that many because there's no gear to sell to them. Guitars are at the complete opposite end of the spectrum, because they'll buy everything! I did buy the book though. 🙂

[@FelipeHernandezCA]

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing. I just started my home studio in Jan 2024 (after a 10 year hiatus of playing music). This is super helpful. And I’ve focused on maximizing the flow of recording to track ideas right away. Thank you! Curious on how you like your MPC?

[@PatrickBreenMusic]

Hey Felipe - Glad to hear you're back to making music and getting your home studio set up! Appreciate the comment and kind words on this video! The MPC is cool! IMO, it works best as the centerpiece of a workflow, working on the MPC itself. I was using it with a DAW and it just didn't end up being the right piece of gear for me. Analog drum machines and samples work better with my workflow. I think if you're interested in the MPC style of beat making, it's absolutely worth checking out!

[@svaryantram]

Which monitor is good for MacBook for music production? Around 300$

[@jordanmarcotte]

Great vid bro!

[@PatrickBreenMusic]

Thanks so much Jordan 🙌

[@smartwerker]

MPCs are fun as hell 😂

[@jdill2225]

great video, no wasted space

[@PatrickBreenMusic]

Appreciate that!

[@beatsbyraxx3844]

I gota subscribe this is real stuff

[@JayfkProductions876]

Gear can be very helpful for example.. I bought a behringer umc 404 hated it its drivers sucked.. Then Got the Focusrite 18i8 3rd Gen. The Drivers on that enable me to drop my pc buffer size down to 64 now playing stuff on tracks feels amazing

[@PatrickBreenMusic]

Great anecdote! Couldn’t agree more with that.

[@BAND-MAID-USA]

I also have a UMC404HD. I actually love it. I have a few different interfaces, but the Behringer holds up good for me. I don’t use for guitar tho.

[@jeffdawes879]

Thank you sir great video

[@PatrickBreenMusic]

Appreciate that! Thank YOU for the comment!

[@justfine77777]

It’s hard out here for a pimp! Great content! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@PatrickBreenMusic]

Thank you! 🙏🙏

[@mojito6629]

Problem (about plan and buy something like many channel interface since the start) is start budget

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

Arturia plugins are great

[@DjcHuCkNiCe1]

The creating your own templates in you r DAW was a biggie in my experience.

[@devonc99]

all I want is an audio interface under 500 dollars that has all the inputs something like yours has, I have all this nice audio metering equipment and I need something to connect it all together. got a decent focusrite but I need a single rca input, extra duel rca inputs on the back, 4 jack inputs. cheapest way seems to be a home theatre preamp audio receiver just to connect it all. why doesn’t anybody talk about set up connections and how many wires you need? I feel so lost after 20 years of live playing and not caring about av tech other than being able to plug my stuff in and play, I don’t have the desire to spend on equipment like instruments, but it seems like to get anything working I need 5 other things

[@across_the_bridge]

Great Vid !

[@PatrickBreenMusic]

Appreciate that my friend!

[@BAND-MAID-USA]

Do you have a video on how you setup your premade templates? I’m going to search your channel real quick. I’d love to see how you do it.

[@PatrickBreenMusic]

It's funny you ask... I've had that video planned all year. I didn't know if people would be interested! I'll definitely make the video though, stay tuned!

[@BAND-MAID-USA]

@@PatrickBreenMusic would be great. Tbh, I never even knew it was an option. I’ll stay tuned.

[@prod.xo.]

+1 sub, very well spoken and good energy

[@PatrickBreenMusic]

Glad to have you :)

[@kevinturvey8213]

1st thing to know is that you don't need monitors or acoustic treatment - just get slate vsx instead

[@ProdbyPaulTheBeatG]

How does the 610MKII sound ?!😊

[@PatrickBreenMusic]

I love it. Use it on vocals, bass, DI guitar, etc.

[@GalaxyPrizm]

But bro, Shouldn't your monitors be on stands behind the desk?

[@manuelspaan]

Where is the “Making Wavs” cap from? I need it!

[@PatrickBreenMusic]

@@manuelspaan I was selling them for a minute, but they sold out. Happy to make more if people are interested…

[@manuelspaan]

@ I am for sure 😎

[@azglavas]

So cool ahh

[@IsHekiel]

Ok let's go

[@beatsbyraxx3844]

This guy is serious

[@jamessullenriot]

I've found that spending more on gear helps me spend less in the long run.

[@PatrickBreenMusic]

Agreed!

[@TaliosLintry]

Captain Rex!

[@PatrickBreenMusic]

You definitely a real one 🙌

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

I did have all My stuff out however it quickly became a problem because of dust, so time consuming to clean so most of My stuff stays in clear platic bags even the stuff on the desk.

[@spikerzombie]

Or you could just clean more often as you listen to new music for inspiration

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@spikerzombie I just keep the synths and gear covered in plastic when not in use. I don't have the space to have everything set up all the time as cool as that would be.

[@elos1977]

You lost me at hi! You do understand that a lot of people don't have the money to invest in good quality instruments or gear, some of us just want to be able to transmit our ideas, I'm so fed up with these stupid videos about getting expensive gear, you are not helping people starting out, it's delusional

[@elos1977]

Also soooooo much product placement

[@antonioscolotti8558]

Just stay within your budget. There are plenty of cheap or used equipment out there that will get your ideas down and still sound good.

[@kubricksghost6058]

4:44 I hope that was sarcasm lmao rick rubin has been known to never produce anything by bands who paid him a lot of money! snake oil merchant
