@@TrackXTrack What we've learned, wood WANTS to warp. Even with light objects or zero objects, the weight of the self alone will cause warping if hung like this.
I wanted to write in spanish, but I thought that maybe you couldn't read my commentary. I am pleased of seeing a room so beautiful. I can see you really love the music: Beatles, Hendrix, Stones, Elvis, etcetera. I love rock and roll too. My collection is great too, but it is not so splendid like yours. Congratulations and God bless you. Julio César, a friend, from Trujillo, Perú.
Wow, must have taken some time to put all that together. What a collection of CDs Love the trunk with the ticket studs on top. I still have all mine so perhaps I will do something creative wit them.
Holy Moly I just found you, and subscribed to your channel. My career has been as a SF Bay Area Radio jock, and my many studios looked like this. All genres. The biggest studio was my first gig, college radio station in Santa Cruz. Each genre had a colored tab, and they spanned many rooms and hallways. I LOVED running down the hallway while one song was on to find the next best segue song. My vinyl, CD collection was slowly sold off to pay my bills in between the Radio gigs I'd get canned from, lol. Now I host a Saturday night Rock and Blues show KZAP, they pick the music for me, but it spans 5 decades, so I am a very happy camper sharing music with the world! Great job. PS: I do have my concert tickets displayed the same way, it is a wonderful conversation piece in the bar. :)
I have a radio background as well, so I know what you mean. I remember studios similar to this, too, though with vinyl rather than CD! Welcome to the channel!
@@TrackXTrack Yep started with vinyl then at my station,, now stations play from a computer generated CD playlist...tune in to my KZAP show Saturday eves sometime, 7-midnight PST
A very impressive collection. Not sure why you need acoustic panels for what is essentially a desktop CD playback system though, no offense intended. Kind of surprising for such an awesome collection. Have you ever thought of upgrading to an integrated amp, dedicated CD player and larger tower speakers? Or do you have that in the other room? What seems to be Home Theater?
You are correct that my “big” system is in the home theater room. But the bookshelf system in the music room has far better sound than you’d expect. And in that small room, the acoustic tiles do make a difference since there’s so many hard surfaces. And... they look cool.
Track X Track Me and a couple buddies share our top 20 albums each year. Usually we just right them down and share the list. We live in different parts of the country, one guy lives in Cardiff. This year I made a “video” for my 20. It’s 10 minutes long. Really needs headphones to appreciate. Any interest in seeing? If so let me know. Dig the channel!!
Looks like a really nice space. I wish my music room was bigger but I've been getting by for now. I was going to mention the bowing shelves but then you addressed it. It would be a lot of work to take everything down but I would really consider supporting those shelf ends before you come in one day to a pile of CDs and broken shelf boards on the floor. Otherwise it's a really great layout. Cheers!
I think the shelves are safe at this point. The bowing doesn't seem to be getting any worse. That being said, I'm not happy about it, and I'm working on designing a built-in shelving system to replace the bracket system. That will have support distributed across multiple points on each shelf, including both ends. I hope to install a rolling library ladder when I make that upgrade also. Thanks for checking it out!
I love your setup, if I had my own house I'd steal your ideas! I want to display my cd collection too, but in an apartment for now. 6:56 Where did you get the hook to hang your step ladder over the door? I need one just like it, at least I can do that for my apartment lol
Thanks! The hooks over the door were probably picked up at a store like Bed Bath & Beyond. I don’t remember where I got them specifically, but they are probably designed to hold an ironing board, not a step ladder.
Very nice disco room. The question I have is: How do you do to have all these recordings organized by music style, music title, recording location, music composer and performer.?
Hi Kyle. This is astonishing. Absolutely fascinating. Really appreciate you giving this tour. Can I ask how you keep everything clean and dust-free? Secondly, how do you go about that yearly shuffle to fit everything into the alphabetical sequence? I find this a major headache. Thanks again. Stephen
Being in the basement and having hardwood floors, the room stays pretty cool and dust free, which is nice. I tend to keep the doors closed when I'm not using it, which also helps.As for the annual shuffle, that is always a LOT of work. I start by alphabetizing all the new music. Then I go shelf by shelf, pulling every thing down one shelf at a time an inserting the new music where it belongs. I'll use the rolling cart to help with the process, and there will be a LOT of trips up and down the step ladder! I expect I'll be expanding into the top shelf this time, because there's not enough space left at the end at this point. Then in 2020, I'll probably have to start moving smaller sections into a separate shelfing system, since rock will certainly expand the most. Not sure how I'll deal with that yet. But that's part of the fun in collecting!
Thanks. Good to know it’s not just me that finds it agonising. I probably only have half as many as you but it still seems a lot. Do you worry about CDs becoming redundant? It kind of bothers me sometimes.
I should do something like that, honestly. I pulled all the guts out, so it wouldn’t be too hard to stick a small Bluetooth speaker in there. That’s a fun idea!
That’s a great question! I’m not sure if the answer. Could be one of my many Tori Amos CD singles. Maybe one of my out of print Mobile Fidelity Pink Floyd discs. I have a lot of stuff that’s out of print and hard to find, but I don’t know what the most valuable disc in my collection would be. I should research that.
Man, I like music, but damn! If Howard Hughes went insane on music, the only thing missing from this room would be bottles of pee and string zones! Still, cool room! :)
Nice room dude and very classy! And I can see that you have good taste: tori amos - NIN - REM - beatles.... I'm building mine too, that's take time but it's great to have a music room for music fan. Enjoy dude ;)
Unfortunately it just looks like one big blur as the camera pans at speed from one side of the room to the next. I'm sure it would be an entertaining view, but I do think you would have to slow your camera work down somewhat.
And why are album 💿 are viewed as one big story? IAMLXGEND 8 months ago It is a cohesive collection of songs used to tell a bigger theme or project an overall vibe. Think of an album as a book. And your songs as chapters. Every book has chapters. Every album has songs. Each chapter is different. Each song is different. But the collection of chapters (the collection of songs) is what tells the full story of the book (of the album). Every song has a story. Some albums are just a collection of songs without the intention of telling the bigger story. Some albums are designed to tell a bigger story. Sequencing might be only about the way the music flows, but if the album tells a story then sequencing can do that too. Usually the songs on an album are the result of an artist's creations during a season of life. This means the songs can all speak to a similar set of themes, ideas and topics. So the aim of an album name is to try and sum up the big story/concept that all the songs pull from when they were written. It's not always like these, especially today. But traditionally, an album is like a "book" with the songs inside being like "chapters." chapters in a book yes taking taking the different song sections and compiling them building out a story is like a mini book with different chapters and uh adding in those details to make the song really shine . Chapters of the book are very detailed and some people say instead of track one they say chapter one yeah . so with the different uh uh the analogy to storytelling is is maybe not even an analogy it might even be like exactly the same because the song lyrics are in essence telling a story um other people who said the music of the words uh or the music of the words then the Rhythm then the bass then the basic Baseline Melody then tweak the words then detail of the melody harmonies then transitions then tweak the harmonies then recycle ♻.
Great room. Choice of color pattern, furniture and storage. I'm a new sub. I thought you collected vinyl as well. I collect vinyl - since 1978 CD'S since 1990. I suggest the CD frames from Amazon for autographed CD'S. I bought a few. I'm buying boxsets as well. Enjoyed your room. Great place to get away from the world for relaxation.
I wanted to do it right. Obviously, the room itself is something I’m passionate about, so I wanted to be sure I made a video that did the room justice. It took a lot of time to film and edit, too. I had time off around Thanksgiving, so that’s when I finally worked on it.
The bookshelf system may be compact but it sounds way better than you’d expect. I actually have a full hi-fi surround sound system in the room outside the double doors, so I’ve got quality listening gear covered there! Thanks for watching!
Ok buddy that looks terrible. You don't need to stack all the way up the ceiling. Myself I have oner 2000 cds and to me real wood bookcases are the best. Worth the money. That's all (from 976-CREOLEMAN)!
Well it's a nice little collection to be sure - however your taste in music is way too mainstream and 'obvious' to be taken seriously. You need to branch out somewhat and stop embracing the mundane. Be bold and open minded.
There’s actually quite a lot of non-mainstream music in my collection but I don’t show it, nor do I do videos about it on this channel. I focus on mainstream acts because that’s what my audience wants. I enjoy it too. But when I highlight the independent acts I love, nobody watches those videos. So I don’t bother making them. Anyway, you listen to whatever you like. That’s cool. But I do think it is unfair to say someone can’t be taken seriously because their music taste is mainstream. It’s a rather snobbish viewpoint, really.
THANK YOU to everyone that watched the premiere LIVE! It was a lot of fun watching with you and chatting! Hope you enjoyed the video, and I hope you find some cool ideas for your own music room!
Hi there! Thanks for watching!
Yes I enjoyed it!
Love how you walked us through the room and explaining each area and the logic behind it.
Thanks! I wanted it to be helpful for anyone that might be planning their own music room.
Great stuff. The bending shelves leave me anxious.
Yeah, I plan to update the shelves when I have time and money.
@@TrackXTrack What we've learned, wood WANTS to warp. Even with light objects or zero objects, the weight of the self alone will cause warping if hung like this.
Kept looking for the turntable, receiver and speaker grouping in that magnificent room of yours, Kyle. In any event, it is all mighty nice!!!
I'm just not a vinyl guy. I think if I started getting into vinyl, I'd go broke REAL fast! Thanks for checking it out!

I also really like your sense of interior design. The room just looks so awesome and there's something attractive im every side and corner.
Thanks! I put a lot of work into all the details. I'm very happy with the result!
Fantastic music room & setup. Equally, excellent music taste. Kudos
I love that stones chest with those concert tickets in the top of it . 😂 if only my room was this cool .

Thanks! Yes, I'd wanted to have a dedicated music room for a long time, so this has been a passion project for sure!
LOVE that autographed Dizzy Up The Girl! Such a fantastic album, one of the best rock albums of the 90’s imo.
I saw GGD open for the Rolling Stones once. It is a TOUGH gig to open for the Stones, but they totally killed it!
Recycled Records is such a great store! I used to go to Springfield IL regularly and always looked forward to going to that store!
It’s been a few years since I was there. I need to plan a return.
@@TrackXTrack I need to plan a return as well.

Thanks! It’s the perfect space for me.
When you redo you “music room” maybe consider putting in that 3rd bar to hold your shelves up. Just a suggestion.
Yes, that is the plan. I'd hoped the bracket spacing would be supportive enough, but the shelves still sagged.
Very nice!
Thanks!

I guess everyone has their own ideas. Is that really your stereo system?
