He's got more gear than I have for sure! 🤣

My Gc is also empty. What’s going on with them? That place no longer motivates me to shop in store.

[@dubchile]

Rick's also smarter than yer average bear. Btw, does anyone have an extra ticket for me to go on 30th March in London??? Ill pay of course! I fecked up n' missed out and its currently saying on-line that his gig's sold out ☹

[@addressadam]

I’d love to see a video where you produce a song with a band in your studio from start to finish :)

[@JeanLoupRSmith]

The stark change in audio quality when walking from the garage to the control room is amazing. Of course it's nothing surprising but it's evidence of a really well built studio. That was super interesting, cheers Rick

[@rome8180]

It was especially crazy when he walked from the live room into the iso booth at the beginning. Just utterly dead sounding, in a good way.

It really is that simple, though- the differential between the two. You nailed it- it’s how you know someone took the time (and BIG $) to build a PROPER studio

WOW! That's incredible! How you were able to look like you walked INTO the green screen, was amazing! That's some serious special effects to be able to make it look like your studio is so large. Kudos to your special effects guy on making it look so seamless, so realistic.

[@iLumberjack]

Went through a phase where I'd only buy red guitars. I figured if my wife saw a red guitar, she'd assume it was one I already had and not a new one. So far so good. It even works with bass guitars!

Ah building a studio. I built my home studio, which I use for personal use only. It took a long time as well, yet I truly appreciate every aspect of it because I used my own hands. Building isolation boxes for each recessed light, to custom built door frames to accommodate the thicker walls. Today, when someone comes in they see a nice polished studio having no clue whatsoever, as to what is behind the walls, door frames, ceiling etc. It was a labor of love.......

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

I would pay money to spend a whole day in that studio. Just playing all those guitars through all those amps and whatever else caught my eyes and ears. What a magnificent space. The fruits of a life time all in one area. Magic

[@tehultimateshreddar]

Hey, that’s all the beauty of collecting over the years

[@Kidzelda0]

I bought an old church instead of a purpose-built house specifically as a cheaper option than building a studio outright. hell, it was cheaper than buying a regular house even after renovations.

[@ManCalledMif]

A ton of work and good taste has gone into that studio. Very inspiring.

[@matteogiberti3297]

One thing I always wanted to write in a comment is why I always loved your videos beside the music... Reason being how cozy and relaxing looks your studio... the low yellow light, warm brown colors and of course amps and guitars everywhere makes watching your videos a real pleasure.

[@timweber3368]

Rick, you're the only youtuber who I feel is genuinely worth doing a behind-the-scenes video. Very cool gear! Great video!

[@francopasta3704]

When a man’s life is music, he’s lived a full life. You are a blessed individual.

[@ericb9345]

In my mind I feel like there should be this line of other great artists at your door wanting to record a track for a composite album from “The Beato Studio”. The level of authenticity and love for music that exists in people and places like you is what keeps art alive.

[@julianburmeister9489]

Something tells me that your KZbin success (which is more than rightfully deserved) stands on the graves of countless albums not being recorded in this fantastic studio.

[@OldStreetDoc]

Rick, your studio has become kind of iconic. When I think of what a recording studio looks like, I think of your ATL studio. In fact it’s one of the nicest & most welcoming I’ve ever seen. I really really enjoyed watching this, as well as the other little views you’ve allowed us in other videos. Honestly, I’d like this to be a sort of annual thing. Showing off any changes you’ve made over each passing year. Maybe I’m just getting old… but it seems as though the ‘backgrounds’ of the various channels I watch sort of become ‘characters’ of their own.

[@jfar3340]

Dude you are such an inspiration. You're the living proof that a profession in the music industry is not limited to being a stadium rock star or a violinist in an orchestra

My family thinks I've spent too much on my studio. I have 2 basses (76 Fender Jazz and fretless), 1 Fender Strat, 2 six-string acoustics, 1 twelve-string acoustic, a mandolin, an electronic drum kit, recording gear, and a vocal booth. I'm happy and blessed. I can't imagine having all that Rick has. His is super-amazing.

[@waynekerr8003]

Awesome tour! Your studio is comprised completely of choice pieces of bucket list equipment. That said, for those of us that won’t have Dave, a successful KZbin channel and a lifetime to acquire this treasure, can you do a desert island list of your gear? The things that would be must haves to build a studio if you could only have one and had to start all over again from scratch. Would you have done anything differently?

[@luizmeier]

What an honor and pleasure to be able to see it all. Thank you!

[@norbhansen]

You mentioned the snares and drums you didn't care for as they "didn't work". As a non-musician i would love to hear the difference between drums that worked and drums that didn't. I am friends with musicians and the nuance is lost on me. I love this channel as Rick is so good at describing what makes things great.

[@ryanblackman4119]

As someone who has just recently got into learning how to record but has played in bands for many years, that would actually be a really cool video to see. Just to watch the process of going through drums for a song until they find the right one

[@ZipSnipe]

I totally agree, that would be interesting. But I can imagine what would work and what wouldn't work. As I have been around many drummers , and I have heard a few crappy drum sets, but many drummers don't know how to tune the drums, and when you hear a tuned drum set, it sounds nicer, more crisp while an untuned drum set will be more raw in your face

[@nurabsal0x018c]

Awesome! My dad had a studio in the extra room in the basement. Called it the “Naughty Room” due to the nonzero amount of tequila that would fuel Friday night jams. It was, set up both for playing live (I was usually tasked with lugging all the crap up the steps when they’d play out) and recording, multi track cassette at first. Lots of the coolest gear amateurs could buy in the 80s and 90s. Most of his friends were use to just picking acoustic guitars in living rooms but could blow the walls off the house down there. Most Friday nights growing up I fell asleep listening to music coming up through the vents... Some of the most fun I’ll ever had I had jamming with my dad down there when I started playing guitar.

My favorite drum overhead mics. Pzm mics stuck together on a small plate hanging above the drummer's head, pointing down at the kick drum. The small plate ensures the mics only pick up the higher frequencies. It has a perfect stereo image.

Reminds me of my studio that I built years ago! I built mine inside an industrial metal building! Using the "room in a room" technique. Had a much smaller control room. The studio was pre digital, so the biggest multi-track I had was a Tuscan 8 track. I rented rehearsal time as well as demo recordings, also had classes on recording! It took two 6' stacks of sheetrock!! I chose the name Emerald City.

I’m so glad that I’ve been a simple acoustic drummer for 30 years. I don’t have the attention span, technical acumen, money, or time to accumulate and figure out this collection of beautiful and mind-bending gear. Though, have always appreciated it from my prior band mates, and certainly have a higher degree of respect seeing it from a behind-the-scenes perspective from someone like Rick and his well-deserved bone fides!

[@perniciousreaper4393]

Those Dunlop Max Grips are truly awesome. When I bought my most recent guitar from Sweetwater at the end of last year, my sales engineer threw in a pack of them, gratis. Totally unexpected. I had made a very brief passing remark over the phone that I was no longer happy with any of my picks, and he remembered! Smart sales guy, because I fell in love and have bought several more packs since then.

[@Zaronahh]

I have waited a very long time for this. Great video Rick! Much love from Sweden.

[@filimonkaltsounis65]

I am wondering, have you ever tried a price estimation of all these gear, amps, guitars, etc? I am excluding the building costs.

My admiration and compliments for this great job you are doing. RESPECT

The "green screen" effect comes from the fact that your studio lighting isn't the same color temperature at you video lighting. You'll either need to add gels or buy lights with color adjustments for the video lights.

STAGGERING collection of amps! Would love to know if all have been used and how much is as a collection almost. I’m guessing it’s good to give bands such a huge choice anyway. I thought I had a pretty comprehensive keyboard rig but your collection of guitars just blitzes it. As someone who’s worked in London in music for many years, only one word…impressed. I really didn’t think there was much more to the studio than the backdrop and the vocal booth. How wrong I was!

[@Analoque444]

12:17 Wow, like your control room with all those vintage gear. I have a question, at 13:51 we can see many snaredrums there. If a drummer plays loud and hard, do the snaredrums resonate then or are the mats under them so effective to supress it? Like your studio and wish you every day fun and success with it. Best regards.

[@tomasshannon6537]

i'm sure Rick can answer this, but from my experience the drums themselves resonating is not a problem unless you're going for a particularly dry sound. In that case you can throw some cloths or pretty much whatever on them to keep them from resonating. What can definitely be an issue is snare buzz on snare drums, so the trick for this is to just stick a little napkin between the snare side head and the actual snares. That will keep the snares on the shelves from buzzing when you're playing other drums. You can quickly and easily take that napkin out whenever you decide to use that particular snare drum.
