If you're new here, my name is Andrew Huang and I'm a musician who works with many genres and many instruments - and I've also made music with many things that aren't instruments like balloons, pants, water, and dentist equipment. For more info visit my website: andrewhuang.com
You can also stream and download my 40+ albums and EPs at andrewhuang.bandcamp.com or check out my other videos at / andrewhuang
Thanks for watching today and a big hug to you if you share this video with someone!

So cool! Kind of related, but I've always wondered how you jot down ideas (Evernote, voice memos, etc). Or just how you use Evernote in general. Thanks!

🤓
Please do.
Great
I’m still waiting for this video.
When is this happening‽
As an audio engineer myself that is impressive this studio is built with pure love for music and sound keep it up Andrew you are an inspiration to us producers XD
Agreed
I'm a producer. Thank you for speaking my mind.
@@legendson5567 No problem my fellow audiophile Producers UNITE! XD
was searching for this comment - totally agree
I was just thinking the same thing, Rom! I am in school for digital audio engineering and we just went over studio build-outs. When he started talking about floating floors and the space between walls, and then I saw the cinder block outer walls, I knew right then and there he wasted no expense and built it for pure love of sound. Andrew, you are an absolute inspiration! Thank for all you! ♥
"an absolute disaster"

*three synths and two cables lying on the table*
XD
My whole house looks like a labyrinth of work and gear. Idk how he manages to be that clean
I will never call a space with two decent synths a disaster, the less for three of them
Three synths and two cables walk into a bar....

Make a track using every instrument in your studio!
Pleeeaase
Stream it too!
Good idea! Downside: If this means to use every single eurorack module also, the track may have a length of 2 years, 132 days, 7 hours, 15 minutes and 29 seconds - at least.
No lets not
@@greatgradegaming9082 BETTER IDEA: if you have a studio, you INVITE OVER a wide variety of musicians, and FILM / RECORD improvised jams. Saves massive time AND creates massive amounts of GREAT MUSIC. (EX: took german synth pioneers 45 minutes to make a brilliant album, same as many jazzers.... b/c they IMPROVISE. I can make a brilliant album EVERY 45 minutes!) And it's infinitely more FUN and healthier than doing everything yourself in your little dungeon!
“Once I heard a dog”
- Andrew Huang
Where's the song made out of that dog sample?
It was apparently a magical experience.
I couldn’t imagine having a carpet like that and dropping a guitar pick
if somebody deserves this studio, then it's you - keep on doing what you like, we appreciate that we can drop in via youtube

The air conditioner, is it completely silent? My studio is HOT and I don't know how to fix it.
Nope I turn it off whenever I record and just deal with it lol
ANDREW HUANG that’s why you’re always sweating
@@andrewhuang why do you have to turn it off when recording?
@@theultimatechampion154 because it would show up on the recording. Multiply that by however many tracks you record and the mix becomes a huge mess of unneeded noises. Doesn't matter if you're recording direct-in or MIDI though

"Ridiculous" is definitely the best word to describe this studio.
"Jealous" is definitely the word the describe my feelings right now.
"Mad" is the definitely best word to describe Andrew and his music love.
replace "Jealous" with "Envious."

“An absolute disaster.”

"once I heard a dog" -Andrew Huang, 2019
so inspirational
and sampled it to create about 20 different sounds and built a whole symphony out of it.
#820
can you imagine how loud the dog would have to be to be able to hear it.
Ah, the old ("Quote" - Name, Year), nice one.
I don't know why this fascinates me, but when you said something along the lines of "if I had my absolute way, I'd just work in a white void with just one little piece of gear I needed. I never got the grey, dungeon aesthetic."
Every time i've watched your videos the one thing that stands out is the piercing white. I never understood why people liked that so much. My studio isn't "grey dungeon" but I find it incredibly hard to work with bright lights. Its a pulsating, anxious and distracting feeling when too much light is present. I changed out all my lights to the 5W vintage yellow-y bulbs that give a warm, comfortable feeling. No color noise, just the screen and my thoughts.
My brother on the other-hand is much like yourself. He always has 4 lights on shining incredibly bright with the ultra-white hue. I never understood that, and that makes my head hurt. It just goes to show people's different personalities and personal characteristics and often times reflects in their work.
Great video. This wasn't knocking you, but rather an observation I made that i'm glad you dived a bit deeper into to feed my curiosity.
Same i dont understand the isolated vibe..seems so stressful to me. Most musicians are night creatures so i would want something cozy that compliments the night workflow. Also i dont want to create while feeling isolated.
Rather create in an enviorment that feels connected to the world somehow. Maybe some plants and posters
This whole topic of design of the space in which you create is really fascinating, love to hear other music people's perspectives on it.
I like dim lights too. It’s a relaxed vibe that allows my thoughts to flow freely.
Good point - I’m the same exact way. Bright, white spaces, whether at home or in a bathroom or in a classroom just make me anxious and uneasy. It’s not a space I can comfortably focus in and feel at peace. Warm, dim lights on the other hand set the tone and feel so warm and cozy. It seems like Andrew’s room isn’t too bad though. It seems comfy enough, but a white void would definitely not work for me 😂
This is the live-actionversion of a DAW
a RAW (Real Audio Workstation)
“It’s completely isolated from the outside world.”
Translation: Nobody can hear you scream. 😯
Well for a metal band that would be perfect.
@@Jono997 but like, for a murderer
Music dungeon... only bright and airy. Not dark like most music dungeons. Ok so not a dungeon at all. Just an art studio with no visible art.

I always thought the studio was just a room in his house but I never realized it’s actually just a secret lair

That was a very heroic entrance.
Some would call it a home studio.
I call it a studio home.
Love the clean white look though I‘m personally more productive in a dark environment.
.....dang, Andrew is doing well for himself. Building his own custom studio in his backyard, buying things like an Aeron chair amongst all his other gear, and his own custom modular synthesizer.....holy crap. Good for you, Andrew.

Funny, I always thought once you turn away from the 'white area' that's usually on camera, there's be rainbow sparkles all over the walls. This was surprising, but I love the functionality of it. Thanks for sharing!

So many emotions in one video... Jealousy, envy, excitement, amusement, frustration, pleasure, arousal, curiousness, enticement... Then followed with contentment and satisfaction. As much envy and jealousy I have from your DOPE home studio... I'm glad it's owned by someone like you that's deserving and worthy. *Wayne's world* "I'M NOT WORTHY!!!!"
You're a fucking boss Andrew Huang. I'm glad all that impressive gear found a good owner to call home. Your leaps and bounds on a different level. You'll have a seat waiting for you sitting next to Hendrix, Morrison, japlin, cobain, etc at their table. You're a fucking BEAST dude no lie
Have you spoken about the Acoustic foam panels/ Bass traps etc. in your room before?
They're white too, and took a second for me to notice that ^_^
It's odd that I have no intentions of making any sort of music and spend half the time wondering what Andrew is talking about but I have loved this channel for ages and enjoy the great and sometimes weird sounds that Andrew makes with all his gadgets and gizmos. Studio looks sweet man and keep up all the great content 👍🤟❤
You win the Most Bizarre But Nice comment on UA-cam of 2019. :-)
Andrew, you have been that inspiration to keep working on my music career. Your content is great. Thanks for doing all of this!
Your full transparency and link to every piece of gear you use is absolutely priceless. Thanks so much.
"I'm Canadian ... ... ... and it's great!" got an actual laugh out loud from me.
Like everyone else, I am wildly jealous of this beautiful studio.
It played that part right as I read this.
I fully thought he said "I'm Canadian ... ... ... and straight!"
Lord forgive me once again my brain has let me down.
Am I a bad person?
@@micahdelic No, you're a good person. Homosexuality is wrong and I don't care what anyone says. Just accepting it isn't going to *make* it OK. And say whatever you want, you could be fighting a losing battle for weeks with me. Which is why I won't reply to anyone who tries to argue because I have a life and no time for ignorance. ✌
Weston Kenyon Music Well...I have some
bad news for you about the music industry, which you seem to be a part of or want to join...

love how this man is in interpreter territory talkin about his synths, then he goes over to his lihgts and he's like "idontevenknow what these are" classic Andrew Huang synth nerd. Positive.
It was really helpful to hear your perspective about studios never being done! I just so happened to be scheduled to set up a new studio space for myself today, and I was stressing quite a bit about getting everything absolutely perfect. Seeing this and hearing your perspective was so timely.
Also, for anybody considering the class Andrew teaches, I was in his first class and it is incredible!
Bro, I need to borrow your monitors. I'll give it back next wednesday.
uh I mean, next month. I mean next year. I mean 2025.
Rofl yea im saying dont forgot that SUB And chair..... TEEF
Thank you for sharing. It's inspiring. Andrew can make beautiful music with just a biscuit tin. If I was in his studio, I would be lost and clueless. I love technology and it's really exciting when you see talented people showing how it works. Thanks again. Love your videos. I am glad I found your channel. More power to you. ❤️
in my life i want to get to a point in witch i can have a studio like this, i cant even begin to think how much something like that enforces creativity and love for music and experimentation in general
God damn this is so beautiful for so many reasons. Would love to have access to a space like this! You should do a video showing what it sounds like inside and outside the space with all the soundproofing, like set the camera up outside and go inside to play drums really loudly or something.
This is the most legit home studio build I've seen outside of Deadmau5's absolutely insane setup. Amazing.
Love the white everything, though. This studio is incredible!
😭 I hope one day I can have something like this in my life. Thanks for the tour
Only these Genelec monitors are costing more than my life. This one and all the previous I've lived 😂✌🏻 Kudos to you, bro. You deserve all the gifts in the world. You're giving free information and this is the best thing a person can do. The ultimate goal for humanity in general, free flow of information for all with no social or racial discriminations ❤
Andrew is exactly who I imagine would be wearing Y-3s, love the swag
Andrews style is dope cuz he works y3s into the same fit as silver glitter leggings😂
Swag
He got that drip🥵
this is so much cooler than some real time studio's ..
Wow. This is how I picture my dream studio to be. Looks like I have a long way to go. This is awesome!!!
I’m impressed...
If I knew anything about music I think I’d be even more impressed
Now I want to see a music video from you in an empty white room with just one piece of music equipment.
I reiterate: Andrew's instrument is the Space Shuttle
I dont know how to use 95% of the gear in that room I feel overwhelmed looking at it and thinking how long it would take to learn
I dont have 99.9 % XD
@@thethinker2372 I got a Alesis qx 49 midi Keyboard with one key that doesnt work, Reason 11, free VSTs, Focus rite Scarlett 6i6, Beyer Dynamic DT 770 Pro 250 om headphones and an 8 year old computer. I'm still like whoa to his collection. It took years for me to get what I got.
8:41 so excited cause i thought that Andrew was coming through with the glossier pink pouch but then I realized it was just pink bubblewrap lol
When i'm watching Andrew Huang, i take out my earphones and put on my Astros because i need to enjoy every piece of the video
I heard that as "My Huang overdue studio"
Thank you Andrew for being so transparent and awesome. I'm 37 and just now getting into producing. You're a huge inspiration and you so clearly explain what was once a complete mystery - Euroracks. Since I'm so fresh to it, I'm not plonking down any money 'cause it's expensive! I have set a goal to get your system from perfect circuit ( www.perfectcircuit.com/andrew-huang-system.html ) when I learn more about setting up a rack and what goes to what. I look forward to it! Thanks again!
Every video you release is just filled with enthusiasm and passion. Keep being you
Sweet setup. Your mono synth makes me smile every time I see it!
The genelec monitors remind me of the turrets from portal
No matter how amazing or professional the studio may be, I still get anxious staring at all those damn cables
Love how you have your studio with the space in between that’s epic never seen that before on somebody else’s studio can I come over and hang out and play
A perfect demonstration that a studio is never complete. There's always an upgrade or tweak just around the corner. Always great to see your music vlogs. Keep 'em coming.
The best part... "for some reason everybody thinks I live in L.A." :'-D
Dude this studio is sick. I love the drum riser. Also curious how the Genelec monitors work being mostly covered up by that front facia. I just did a studio tour too- I'm hoping to get more space like your setup soon. It's hard in San Francisco LOL
Hey Yo from the West Coast! Great videos and your studio is amazing!
you should do a revisit soon since its been a year
The all white "empty canvas" theme is actually pretty genius.
Thank You Andrew for the tour!
I like your choice of color and lighting. Yeah, sunlights being waaaay better then the gray dungeon vibe LOL!!!
now i know why i was sitting here all day with my hand in the air...
Totally the opposite setup to Simon the Magpie lol.

Wow! What clean beautiful studio. So much effort put in.
Great work.
I wanna know how much his electricity bill is
Like ¥12
Is no one else wondering how he did that intro...Like where did he even come from...
he just jumped really high because hes amazing then cut the jump out, the sound effect really helped make it feel like he just fell from the sky tho
Pretty sure he dropped down from his raised up drum area, didn't he?
@@JONxxxINSANITY Correct, he entered the frame completely from the top, so he must have jumped from a higher point behind the camera. Landing on your feet backwards, that's the hard part.
Wide-angle lens distortion makes it look like he jumped from a lot higher than he actually did. He just jumped off his drum riser from behind the camera.
He climbed up to the roof and then jumped down from the skylight he showed in the video. How else would the camera shake like that? Duh
Epic studio! All the way down to the construction. Love it.
Dude I wish my studio was this big. You must've put in a crazy amount of creative work to afford this.
“It’s like a relationship, it never finishes” unlike my parent tho, just last week
Oof
I’m sorry to hear that.
When someone has this insane of a studio and STILL tells you that you can make music everywhere and with everything, you know it's true
Well, watch Virtual Riot and Au5 videos... I really do think they are more proficient in production than Andrew, Red Means Recording is more gifted at hardware synths usage, and Andrew is just a better blogger.
Beautiful studio. I'm planning on enrolling in your class soon.
I love everything you just said and showed
Is that the same mic, they use on swissbeatbox all the time? Looks exactly the same
DarkRedDust I’m a week late but yeah. For all of the shoutouts and stuff that’s the most common mic.
Relationships don't finish? You're a lucky man, Andrew.
They might end but they don't finish. Kinda like the Boston Marathon ended, but nobody finished.
very interesting insight into your setup. Congrats on the evolution.
There is a part of his room where it reminds me of those supercomputers in the 40's and 50's.
holy hell those are pricy monitors... nearly 4 grand EACH
Damn. Me with my JBL 306Ps like
I really don’t think I need a studio this nice
6:23 "It's just.... It's a lot"
We get in Andrew. With that delivery we fully understand that you want to wait with that one. x)
I’ve been putting together lists for my dream studio hoping I can someday build it. But it seems almost every other day I learn about something new that I also want, or something better than I want to replace. I am almost to the point where I think my dream studio is actually just a building with like 5-6 different studios in it. Lol
