**
In this video, I’m going to show you everything I used to build my home studio!
I do most things inside the box, so you’ll notice that I’ve invested more in things like my computer, my desk, and my treatment, rather than outboard gear. My actual gear setup is pretty minimal and my main focus for this studio was to create a live work environment that I’m inspired to create in every day, as well as shoot video in.
At the end of the day, I’m not tracking live instruments in here or mixing on a regular basis, so getting the room 100% treated wasn’t my first priority. I’d say my first priority was definitely VIBE and I’m pretty stoked with how it turned out!
Additionally, I want to remind you that I went full-time doing demos and session work as a singer before I ever upgraded my gear. So in NO way am I saying that a setup like this is a necessity. I waited 10 years to build my dream studio, and I did it like this because I can, not because it was a necessity.
Hope you enjoy it!

[@brianrenzi5844]

So I recently stumbled across your videos and WOW!!! What a massive help you have been to me already with your insight and guidance. Just signed up for one of your master classes!!! This video was very helpful and reassuring as I have recently launched my own home studio and getting into sync. Thank you so very much for producing this amazing content. Most of what is out there is a waste of time, poor advice, or completely misguided. But all of your content is spot on and very professional. You are most definitely gaining a new student!!!

[@tipjar]

As always, this was incredibly helpful, useful and fun. This will help me fill in some missing pieces in my home studio / laundry room-adjacent basement man cave.

[@ProduceLikeaBoss]

thanks so much!! and yasss to the man cave! I call mine the babe cave!! :)

[@nikkinana]

Great video. I just bought the AZ Elite Sit Stand Desk and am waiting for it to be delivered. Cool to see it in action in your studio setup.

[@ProduceLikeaBoss]

Congratulations NIkki!! You are going to LOVE your desk!

[@michellepollacemusic8963]

This was awesome! Thank you for opening up your home/studio so we can see! #goals, ha. And I agree, Sweetwater is just the best when it comes to customer service! In the long run I think they save me money, though their prices are good to begin with.

[@ProduceLikeaBoss]

My pleasure ! So glad you enjoyed the tour!! :)

[@squalley]

1:02 said like a true #Boss 😊🥃

[@EthanKingTV]

Amazing setup, Kris!

[@ProduceLikeaBoss]

thanks Ethan!! Great meeting you at FHL! :)

[@morganm1667]

That's a really great set-up. I might have to look into one of those desks. I wall mounted a TV in the same way the other week at the same level. Tilted it down for the extreme viewing angle. At first I thought I'm going to get neck strain looking up but it turned out to be good for my neck because I can now roll back my chair, switch up my viewing/ work posture and not have my back to the TV if I want to half watch something! Using Airplay and it beams to a Roku express stick. I'm sure there's better ways than mine though. Thanks for the content!

[@peteluna4968]

I subscribed because of the desk. :)

[@ProduceLikeaBoss]

The desk is THE BEST!

[@DJFusia]

I Love your setup and style, I love Funky setups and I love the lights too... !!!! I am thinking about getting that studio desk but I am not sure how much leg room I would have once I push the keyboard shelve in as I have the same midi controller as you... I want to be able to have a 90 degrees angle for my arms when they bend on the top shelve for when I am using the mouse as I am still 20 years later trying to get rid of tennis elbow and golfers elbow !! Any tips on that would be really cool !!!! Very inspiring set up... You got amazin design skillz, I love the vibe !!!!

[@fredinthemix]

Cool :)

[@ProduceLikeaBoss]

Thanks Fred!! 😁

[@purposejs2065]

You are dope 🤟🏼😎

[@ProduceLikeaBoss]

aw thanks ;)

[@onimisilovesonmusic4548]

Beautiful studio from a ladies perspective...it makes sense real great. Very helpful

[@ProduceLikeaBoss]

Thanks so much!!

[@vipingkumar]

great... luxury setup. pls add a miktek cv7 and a cranborne ece1 pre..

[@RandyRhythm]

Thnx Kris :)

[@ProduceLikeaBoss]

My Pleasure Randy!!

[@producerhat]

dang picked up the Mac Pro right before the M1 Max MBP came out! lol

[@filipkrstevski5449]

I think your sensitivity switch on the speakers need to be on the lowest plus 6db if you have good audio interface. And also bass to minus 10 for full performance of the speakers cheers

[@karenbethvino9412]

This was an amazing tour Kris.You are so techy.Alexa, tell me my future will you?

[@ProduceLikeaBoss]

haha!! Thanks Beth!! :)

[@squalley]

3:02 another one? Oh you get a sub & 🛎 for that. Who else out here passing out “Clap” one-shots, huh? 🤨🤔🤦🏾‍♂️😂🤣

[@aceamadeus]

Awesome tour and tips! 🎹✌️, Kris what do you recommend for using an external drive for accessing large orchestral libraries in KONTAKT, spitfire audio etc? Lacey ? Western digital ? 😎

[@ProduceLikeaBoss]

Heya!!! The GDrive is a reliable brand for external SSDs, and this USB 3.1 drive is great especially if you travel with your drive: amzn.to/31va8XM This SanDisk (another brand with a great reputation) also comes with two cables, so you can connect to your computer whether it has the older USB-A or the newer USB-C connections. It’s USB 3.2: amzn.to/3rFw1hS The Samsung T7 is really great as well, small, fast and reliable!

[@aceamadeus]

@@ProduceLikeaBoss thanks Kris! u are awesome ✌️🎹🔊 Really appreciate the tips and links 😎

[@LauwieTech]

maybe i'm crazy but i cannot find it the shelves where you put your studio monitor on. with rack mount screws Whats is it called?

[@RockFahim007]

I wish one day this is my

[@theartmusicmom]

Love this! Thanks Kris. Super helpful. I'm in the market for a new keyboard and that sitting/standing desk is amazing! If you ever want to start a second career, I think you'd make an excellent interior designer too! Congratulations on this rad studio! 10 years in the making, you've definitely earned it with all of your helpful content for us newbie producers!

[@ProduceLikeaBoss]

aw thanks so much Thea!! And thanks for the kind words, I struggle with design sometimes so that means a LOT!! :)

[@andreassmidelov]

Hey Kris! Loved the tour :) I've noticed in older videos that you had one of those super-duper-ultra-wide displays, which seems like a dream for DAW use. How come you switched back to a more regular shaped display? Would love to hear your thoughts :)

[@ProduceLikeaBoss]

Hey! Ya know, I loved it for a bit but honestly I was missing having VERTICAL real estate in my sessions, so I decided to go with the Mac monitor. 😄

[@andreassmidelov]

@@ProduceLikeaBoss Fair enough :) Also thanks for the bootcamp, hope HSB is going great!

[@ProduceLikeaBoss]

@@andreassmidelov my pleasure!! HSB is amazing!! Hope to see you in there !!

[@nikkinana]

Were the "Like A Boss" LED lights custom made? Or did you create it with the individual LED light strips? It looks amazing!!!

[@ProduceLikeaBoss]

Hey Nikki! I actually had that custom made for me :)

[@sheronkendrick4566]

I am sure that it took a while to build your home studio. I'm a blind producer. I use both PC and Mac computers. I use both protocols and logic programs. My name is Sheron Kendrick

[@djrealskillsakablacklight9464]

nice

[@ProduceLikeaBoss]

Thank you!! 🙌

[@MannyXO]

Its sliiiick Subbed! Warning though, if you go outboard it’s a long beautiful rabbit hole 😮‍💨😅

[@ProduceLikeaBoss]

haha, thank you! that's what I'm afraid of! 😅

[@alainpatry]

Oooh nice!!! BTW, the items in the description are not "links" at time of this comment! Hopefully that gets fixed up soon :) Oh... and I was really hoping you would mention where you got your fabulous sign made, and whether you also use flood lights in addition to your LED strips... I thought I had spotted a diffuse color light source behind your computer monitor!

[@ProduceLikeaBoss]

Ooh thank you!! Good eye ! Fixed :) I didn’t mention the neon light because it came a month late and was cracked on arrival, so didn’t want to steer people in the wrong direction 🤷‍♀️😂. I am using an RGB light behind the computer, shoot I forgot to talk about those ! 😅

[@alainpatry]

@@ProduceLikeaBoss Great! Could you add a link for the RGB light behind the computer please, so I can see whatchu got? PS> I noticed we have the same curtains and I love them. What a difference they make!

[@ProduceLikeaBoss]

@@alainpatry absolutely! Here ya go :) www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Y85Z7ML/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and yes, love these curtains!
