[@TheLoamRanger]

Ex-audio engineer, turned pro photographer, turned full-time KZbinr here... Love the setup! And you can never get too nerdy. Ever. Man, the placement and usability of that wall mounted 120D is off the charts. 👌

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks so much!!

[@JorgeSilvestrini]

I'm starting to run in the same "smaller field" - moving from only doing audio to now having a KZbin channel and getting to learn, practice, record and edit video! Just happened to find @Dunna Did It channel and subbed.

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Amen to the whole ‘from managing sound-to-doing that AND visuals as well’ kinda challenge! But we like challenges, yes we like challenges!!!

[@DLlama]

I'm shocked by how many people say "Sorry for getting too nerdy" or "Not to get too in-depth" like bro that's what I came here for! Don't apologize for being detailed!

[@Fernando.Vivanco]

...after 9 minutes my mouth was unconsciously wide open in disbelief. I am like, is he really just... going to give us ALL HIS SECRETS? Like even what camera, lens, specific camera settings? And then exactly how to color grade it.. unbelievable. THANK YOU SO MUCH BRO.

[@joshualelo]

15 years, no wonder you’re audio is so clean! Would LOVE an audio production breakdown from you, especially since you’re so experienced in that field. Maybe something like “A Beginner’s Guide to Crisp Audio” where you don’t go too deep, but maybe just focus on the fundamentals that a new person like myself can practice in order to get better and better at recording audio that is clean, but also has depth and character. I have a lot of the same/similar equipment as you, I just need the practice..That guidance would be SO helpful:) thanks for all the free help you give on this channel!!

[@jamesprecious1035]

I like this idea of a "Basics guide" Great work as always. Beers if you are ever in Vancouver.

[@dunnadidit]

Consider it added to my “ideas” list.

[@Jakereviewsall]

Would love this as well.

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

Same here!

[@chrisgg]

That would be amazing

[@whoismatt]

13:58 this video is overkill in the best way! Loved it!

[@dunnadidit]

Huge nerd 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@excessorizeme]

Such a great showcase of your office and so jealous of everything 😍

[@notlukebenson]

Love the details you go into in this Dunna, especially around the grading. We've been running an improv podcast for the last 18 months and 2022 is where I'd love to up our audio game so an in-depth audio process video would be sick.

[@shadowshapers]

So cool to get to see a part of the whole process and the "Behind The Scenes" of it all. Love how much of a nerd you are about the whole thing. I hope to someday have as good of a studio setup as you do. Would love to hear about the most unexpectedly easy or unexpectedly hard parts about the whole youtube-video-making process.

[@WORTHITORNOT]

Great video and gave me tons of ideas ! Thanks

[@InternetCity]

I’m absolutely in love with this set up! It’s both practical and amazing looking! Taking notes!

[@techmentormaria]

As a tech manager, I found this tour of your tiny 9x9 foot KZbin studio setup to be incredibly informative and inspiring. You've done a great job of maximizing the small space and creating a professional looking studio with minimal gear. Your attention to detail in lighting, audio, and color grading is impressive. I also appreciate the inclusion of your gear list in the video description, it helps to see what equipment is needed to achieve a professional look. I will definitely be taking note of your setup when I create a studio space for my channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience!

[@LuminousLives]

That was incredibly useful - thanks for taking the time to run through things so thoroughly

[@JSephH76]

Incredibly valuable for a guy setting up his proto-studio. Thank you!

[@dunnadidit]

That’s great!

[@peterujfalusi2764]

I just found this older one and love it. Great to feel your professional approach shining through. Thanks!

[@JoshuaKrell]

I'm coming from a professional audio engineering background as well in post production, still do work in audio but have been doing video off and on. I appreciate your perspectives on your channel. Also, your room and colorgrade immediately caught my attention. Love how perfectly balanced your lighting is on your skin tones.

[@SanathKumarNaibhi]

Wow Dunna! So inspiring! That nerd part explains a lot! Years of experience along with that nerd level passion is what sets anyone apart! 👌🏻

[@robert99427]

I watched some of your older videos a couple of days ago, such a huge difference between what your studio/room used to look like and how it looks like now. #mindblowing

[@darinwynder7207]

Great walk-through, gear and process videos are always greatly appreciated.

[@nathanjfield]

Hands down the best setup video I've seen. And yes to more in-depth tutorials on everything. 👍

[@philpatelis2326]

I'm speechless. Amazing!!

[@TechManiac11]

Awesome video Dunna! Great walk through of all of your setup and just gotta say your a-roll is amazing! I just got the A7C so I can’t wait for that. Keep smashing it.

[@NeilMcElmon]

What an incredible space! I really dig those magnetic lights a lot.

[@photogirl023]

Love the nerding out! I'm a pro photog getting into video and this all is awesome. Especially with sound, its not something you notice as a viewer unless somethings wrong. You're one of my "comfort youtubers" because of how chill and easy-viewing your videos are so its super neat to see the tech-y side that influences and creates that feel.

[@dunnadidit]

Awww thanks so much Emily! That makes me so happy to hear!!

[@PebblesMcWilly]

Love the setup! Especially the versatility with the Lightdome mini on the wall-mounted arm. Awesome use of a small space!

[@ThruVisualMedia]

Donna, definitely Audio Editing tutorial ... a must video, especially with your background...YES PLEASE.

[@BrianSellers]

Great look, and it goes without saying... incredible sound. Well done, man!

[@BensTechLab]

Definitely a well utilized space! Totally agree on mounting lights up off the walls where you can! I have zero light stands on the floor in my studio.

[@RiversofRevival]

Dunna did it AGAIN! Love the video. Amazing...thanks for sharing

[@CraftDD]

Look at that luxury of space. In my work area I can stand in the middle of the room, stretch out my arms and touch the walls on all sides. We make the best of the space we have, that's for sure.😀

[@xxl0o]

Cudos from a live sound engineer pushing his video production company. Sound is more than 50% of the success of the vid! Thanks for such an in-depth tour.

[@davidcarman4733]

Love your content! Thanks for sharing your insight.

[@DannyBligh]

I love watching how other KZbinrs do their setups. I love the Teleprompter idea, really means that you cannot miss a thing. A little more pre-production, but maximum quality and ease in post!

[@dunnadidit]

Exactly!

[@FlyEnri]

Audio tutoriallll pleaseeeeeeeeeee!!! The breakdown was incredible Dunna ! The blue trick out of your skin tones shows how much thought and care goes into making the videos. 😍

[@Matt.Gillard]

this video is gold! Thanks Dunna!

[@t0tobi]

Monitor + App is super awesome, no brainer for everyone with an iPad and a Sony Cam

[@DonGillis]

Great video, awesome to see high quality small spaces!!!

[@ThisIsTechToday]

I love this breakdown! Gotta love seeing another person using sound panels and blankets for their audio. Not surprising for an audio engineer! haha. Also, I love the fabfilter plugins. Some of my favorites ever!

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks dude! Yeah man I feel like it makes such a huge difference to treat your room!

[@kevsanders3223]

Dude, I love your setup, really helps motivate me more when I'm currently busy building a podcast studio setup.

[@arsentumwesigyekagumaho]

Super cool and super helpful. Thank you!

[@RivuSouravBanerjeeVideoEditor]

thanks fr sharing ur cool effective small room setup. the wall mount light stands r so helpful when it comes to managing small spaces. I can perfectly understand .. i hv my youtube video shooting setup + editing desk setup + a bed .. all in one 10-10 room. been filming and sleeping all in one room. its such a struggle and every inch of space is so important

[@mitchellnurseproductions]

An audio tutorial showing all those fancy plugins would be amazing!

[@kylemeshna]

Awesome vid man! Had no idea how small this space was until now. You've utilized it super well

[@sunflowerkidvlogs]

Thanks for this information man! Appreciate the content!

[@djseanp]

Man! I've watched your videos for the last few years (since I started working with video). Like you, I come from a professional audio background. Seeing your progress is so inspiring! Your coloring really clicks with me. Then you topped it off with the audio BTS, and I'm like yes! I'm not alone! This is my favorite video from you so far. Thanks again, and I'm about to hit that bell.

[@dunnadidit]

Nice!!! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@zackgray]

Love it bro. Taking notes!

[@Tsha4Eva]

This is the first video that I've seen of you and now I am an official SUBSCRIBER.

[@GriffinConway]

Great video. Loved seeing your process. Thanks for sharing!

[@kevinComposesMusic]

I’m a musician / audio guy also, mostly on the UAD platform. Count me as one vote for more info on how and why you are using the audio plugins.

[@Zbigniew_Piatek]

Maaan, it was just .... ughhhhhh.... love it!

[@stephencubillos1412]

Another commenter wanting you to make a more in depth video on the editing from start to finish because this is sickkk Thanks!

[@TheFloodLightShow]

THANK YOU! Been looking for good sound curtains 🤜🤛 great video man, learned a lot!

[@thedrewwitt]

Your audio sounds the best on KZbin. It actually sounds like a lot of broadcast audio where it’s natural and you don’t hear the mic or the processing. Would love a video on that, especially a “free” way to do it with what comes with Adobe

[@kmjansen]

I REALLY like your, "All of time is happening at once," sign. That instantly humbles me in the best possible way.

[@dentReviews]

looks and sounds great

[@officialmultimedia8107]

Real solid video. We have a ton of the same gear! The magnets for the windows and boom arm are great ideas. Also, saving floorspace for the top light was smart as well. Keep it up Dunna

[@Luxuberrys]

Thank you for sharing. Great studio!!!

[@robinthesky6728]

Very good, straight forward information. Loved this video. Thanks for the info.

[@lewischikuni2900]

Dope setup Dunna! really inspired to transform my space now!

[@BunkerAudioPanama]

One of the best audio setups I’ve seen/heard around. Definitely make the tutorial!!!!

[@IthacaDon]

Dude, I just want to hang out with you and listen to you talk. So much information on all sorts of subjects. Thanks for creating this vid. Other content creators need to learn how to share like you did. Not once did I hear I'm going to tell you about this, you just did it. Going to order some lights today.

[@FitousThaiKitchen]

great video, clear and concise guide for those of us that want to up our game.

[@ArifKhan.]

great video! Always appreciated your sound quality and color grading. :)

[@lukeedlund]

This is so clean!

[@mehrdadhaghighi5140]

This is such a great video. Keep it up! I love your channel!

[@MattEatsMochi]

I was gonna say from the jump, the audio is SO nice. Now I realize why that is :D

[@dunnadidit]

Haha that’s great to hear!

[@isaac10231]

Wow! Those 15 years of experience show!

[@JHawk]

Awesome space man! Really cool to see how you have made every inch of your office. FX3 gang!

[@mattdayphoto]

I've been running grip arms off of the same C-Stand that holds my 120D to boom my mic for years, but this Spidercrab arm looks like it would be so much simpler and quicker to use and adjust. Great use of this space, man.

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

🔥 My studio is in my bedroom, so I can relate! I still tinker and adjust it over time.

[@twotonetheartist]

Great video. Thanks for sharing!

[@ukgreat]

Love your setup 👌🏽

[@jamesbrown59]

It's great to see how you were able to become one of the real Premier channels on KZbin. With all of the photography and audio programs you run it would be extremely helpful to see your full computer setup. I hope you do one of those soon.

[@RigelVlog]

Amazing setup! More content about audio will be very well appreciated!

[@remcodegast_]

the monitor+ app is an early christmas gift to me! dude this is the bomb! great video as always!

[@MarlonKingShow]

Very informative. Thank you dude.

[@JordanKuznia]

This was awesome, I love these in depth setup videos!

[@dunnadidit]

Cheers!

[@thomassanio8745]

Great setup, yes would love to see the video editing suite in next video.

[@PaulFeinberg]

I am a total nerd too.....I love the setup and I also enjoy using Waves audio plugins. I need to check out the ones you mentioned here. Great video as always!

[@anthonypc1]

I love your overkill quality! Thanks for sharing.

[@TaehaTypes]

Definitely want to learn more about those audio programs/plugins!

[@MansurNumanov]

Dude, you're a treasure! Thank you for such an amazing content and detailed explanation!!!

[@hugoferrazporto]

this is the best video ever! Thanks!

[@Belidos3D]

Your idea of tiny is a lot more charitable than mine, here in the UK thats a double room, I'd kill for that much space, and built in closets, luxury! :D

[@IamMassimiliano]

Your audio is indeed amazing, now I know why! I would love to hear more about it! Cool set studio tour!

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks so much!!

[@DJJordanLee]

This is one of the most informative, to the point and generally amazing setup videos i've seen.

[@dunnadidit]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ArronPrescott]

Fantastic in depth video, I'm using a pretty similar sized space, so plenty I can learn from this! 🙏

[@kintaro_f]

awesome setup & process! 🤘

[@EdgarOliveiraTB]

This video was awesome!

[@idka4523]

Your studio is a mega sized treasure chest! Super awesome setup man!

[@PaulFisherMedia]

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks a ton!

[@KostasLazanas]

Next level bro!!

[@McIntyresMalts]

Dope set up!!

[@ndcendee]

Very cool small studio setup. Dig it.

[@StevenE]

This was a very helpful and inspiring video!

[@ZachMayfield]

everything's lookin and sounding real good brother!

[@LukeAntunes]

Yes to the audio video!

[@VagiPeti]

Hey this video was awesome! would love to see your audio editing procedure in details, as well how you edit, how you shoot your brolls. Loved everything in this video! Congratulations for this high quality work!

[@DanielSilva-te1ww]

Nice video! Very detailed.

[@andrewcreating]

I'm starting my own studio so I appreciate you sharing how yours is setup. Thank you!

[@dunnadidit]

Cheers!

[@TechTraction]

Love the behind the scenes tour. Definitely would like to see the computer setup tour and plugin deep dive. Thanks. (Liked and now subscribed).

[@Jordan_Moore]

Great video!
