I like how you start describing the power surge protector... I have seen many videos and none had this item.. Because is overlooked, many people have problems with static sounds and RFI/EMI interference.. They purchase expensive equipment to later find out is not working well simply because the socket inside the wall is not grounded.. Thanks for that!
I'm starting to build my studio, your bare minimalist approach to a recording environment helped a bunch as far as what gear to purchase and how to set it up. Thank you!
Not a rookie to this music shit or equipment but this was an awesome video man. Thank you. And to the newcomers that ain't gonna express gratitude, I will say thank you for them too. Thank you.
Greetings! I am one of those guys who grew up under the "old guard" on recording music - analog and some pro-tools stuff; nonetheless, I thoroughly appreciated your professionalism and enthusiasm. I am in the process of putting together a home studio, too. This change is a long overdue.
Zisch2 budget doesn't matter if youre serious about music. I worked a month at Ihop just to buy my mic and interface. Went broke after but you get the point
Long time musician, but relatively new to professional recording. I found this video extremely educational and concise!! Thanks greatly for sharing your knowledge!!
Excellent video, been producing for a few years and I'm giving my studio a makeover this is great insperation for ideas. Also some more good studio monitor ideas for affordable, flat and translatable studio monitors is JBL 306p mkii, Fluid Audio F5, Kali Audio LP6, Presonus Eris E5.
A power surge protector is actually so vital, yet forgotten imo. So many times the power flickers and everything plugged in stays on and even has 10 minutes of power when the power goes out. Very helpful to save your progress and safely turn off your computer, etc.
Hey man thanks for dropping a new video updating your current set up. I commented on your other video a little while back. I've got the Hs7's and they are beasts. I'd like to hear how your mixes sound with that current set up.
Nice computer. I have a 12 core mac pro 32gb of ram with PCIe SSD boot drive + 4 hard drives internal. I use to be a PC fan boy too until i owned a mac.
Nice. I just ordered a new laptop (mostly for Adobe Premiere/Photoshop/Lightroom) with an i7 7th gen, 256 SSD, 1 TB drive, 16 GB RAM, should be a great improvement, thought this laptop has served me well.
Thanks this helped alot! I'm new to this stuff so this was great. Right now i'm rocking with a blue yeti usb mic and audacity as my daw. I've learned alot about tools such as compressor and eq ect. so i'm happy to be learning! In the future i plan on upping my game but everyone has humble beginnings. I subscribed.
I really like your approach to building a home studio on a budget. I'm getting ready to build my home studio / radio station so I found a lot of your info helpful. I had just watched your other video of your old studio setup before stumbling across this video. I noticed that your new studio is more stripped down. I will check out the "yamaha HS - 7" reference monitors. I also noticed that you're not running with the two set's of monitors like before, why is that? Thanks for doing these video's and I will continue to check 'em out and ask questions. All the best, Dennel
Hello Jake, thank you for such a amazing information about how to build a home studio. This information was great. I always watching your video. This is what I was looking for bro......... Thanks!
agree with almost all the components chosen, except the monitor (screen), for the price, it would make more sense to get some 27" 2560x1440 (regular 16:9 ratio) as it will offer almost 50% more usable "pixel space" compared to that 2560x1080 LG you picked
Very informational and high quality video bro! But give your monitors some space from the wall! you never want them close to the wall at least a few feet from the wall
Good video man, I love the fact at 0:13 you say "2017" in rhythm to your back track and at 0:16 your voice is pitched to your back track haha. All joking aside keep up the good work man 👌🏾
Your setup is awesome! Could you show or explain how your set up your lights behind your panles and where you got them? I've been having a hard time trying to do the same. Thanks!
Great video indeed but what advise can you give the world at large regarding a bedroom studio whereby you find yourself in a room which is quiet big and echo/reverb is somehow accumulated by the space? Thank you!
Telly B Acoustic panels my friend, they can get expensive though, so if money is a concern, and you're only recording vocals, take a look at the SE Electronics "Space" reflection filter
the UH 7000 was something i lusted after for a long time but the driver mess was what turned me away. I got the SPL Crimson instead. But the UH 7000 sound was really wow. Am thinking of getting it and using it to clock the crimson. But i do everything ITB and am not sure if clocking my interface is not waste?
Good Job man... NO doubt... People don't understand what it takes to go into a video creation and also content that will fill the space so, I think it was a good video overall. I'm also like you and in this area and more advanced than the novice but of course their is always someone who uses their studio or technology in a different way... Keep working... I'm going to come back and drop you my channel link too... KEEP IT UP!!! P.S. I subscribed and don't worry about what people think about you... Do you. You are knowledgeable... I am a composer/producer too. UPs!!!
@Tech Kitchen Great video, wish you couldve talked about the desks. Im currently thinking about upgrading some of my hard wares and I dont know if I should get a new desk too.
@@JacobDarkOfficial I will check. Here in Brazil I work with publicity announcer and I am very interested in recording studios. I'm already subscribed to your channel. Congratulations, your videos are awesome
Great Video Tech I'm actually saving up for a home studio myself I wanted to know what is best under $5,000 budget I want great quality without buying extremely expensive equipment. I'm watching your videos and doing research. but I'm still not sure. but I seen a few things you have that I'm actually considering I'm buying for myself. I would love a reply man thanks again like you said this is great info for newcomers 🤘🏽
The Focusrite Scarlett Solo is a better buy than that Tascam. I would say that if you're upgrading from the 100 dollar Focusrite you're better off upgrading to some rackmount unit.
6gb of ram is not enough for somebody trying to get a professional sound. The pluggins would destroy your cpu usage 16gb minimum and i7 processor. The laptop is the most important part of the studio. Asus rog strix best laptops in my opinion for music production especially because you can buy them used for the low on ebay. Plus im 90% sure all the rig strix come with the i7 processor and at least 16gb ram thats usually upgradable to 32gb. Other than that great video man love the setup
. I have had both audiotechnica ath m50x and the yamaha hs7's. I find the yamaha''s to be slightly sharp in tone and lacking in bass, and their tweeters are too directional. The audiotechnica's were great with an amp. sligthly processed, not super flat, but good enough for their price range. Not super professional in my opinion, more of a recreational pair of headphones. I currently own the genelecs a7. They cost double than the yamahas, but I got them on sale and the difference is huge. You can hear a lot more details more distinctly, their bass is deeper and more pleasing, but not boomey or overpowering. They are slightly warmer in tone, but not too warm. I got them for 1800 dollars instead of 2200, so that was cool! Also, slightly disappointed that you didn't cover acoustic treatment much...

I'm trying but it's a lot to learn at my age, I've just started building my little studio.
By the way great video 👍
Best wishes from the uk 🇬🇧
I'm starting to build my studio, your bare minimalist approach to a recording environment helped a bunch as far as what gear to purchase and how to set it up. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
@@JacobDarkOfficial Can you help me man ADAM T5V ,JBL 305P MKII OR EVE SC AUDIO 205? Which one is the best bang for the buck? Thanks
your video are so healthy I'm trying to make my way into the music industry as a producer so I'm new to everything thanks for the videos
Not a rookie to this music shit or equipment but this was an awesome video man. Thank you. And to the newcomers that ain't gonna express gratitude, I will say thank you for them too. Thank you.
Much appreciated
you flexin hard
I"m not a "rookie" is what a rookie would say. Quit Flexing!
I said thank you twice in this comment and niggas like yall will still perceive it as "flexin". Yall REACHING.

Watching from Kenya. A great studio, i am getting that outlook, its awesome.
Thank you
We on the lookout too
I use a furman M - 8x 2 at the top of my rack, love their conditioners. Great info for beginners.
"How To Build A Studio Without Being A Drug Dealer"
I would love a video called "How to built a studio with no budget". Great video though!
Zisch2 Wouldn't we all
Zisch2 budget doesn't matter if youre serious about music. I worked a month at Ihop just to buy my mic and interface. Went broke after but you get the point
No offense but YOU don't deserve to own a studio if you're not willing to #investinyourself
Well said my brother.
I think he means a video in which there is no limit to the money being put into the studio
Long time musician, but relatively new to professional recording. I found this video extremely educational and concise!! Thanks greatly for sharing your knowledge!!
NICE CLEAN , AWESOME HOME STUDIO
Thank you I learned a couple things I can't wait to build my own room studio
Good work on describing and teaching me on what to use as an option to buy, as I am a Hip Hop Music Producer with 27 years of experience
finally. now i can buy all my missing pieces. thanks a lot mate this helped out a bunch
Really nice acoustic panel setup!! Makes the studio look really sophisticated. CWalka brought me here.
CWalka is the man!
this definitely put me on the right track. I'm just starting to get into video production, really good video, thank you!
Glad to help!
I love the setup, white is super clean look.
Agreed!
This video was so helpful for me and I respect that your humble. Thanks a lot.😁
Thanks for sharing. All best wishes and good health

Very nice setup. It looks very clean. Heck i'm inspired my friend.

Scott Greene Definitely man, my daily schedule is a busy one but definitely hoping to get something done soon
Awesome and helpful video! I've got a lot of goals and this was really inciteful man thanks, I will stay honed in on your videos from now on.
Thanks! I've been super busy with a new job but I'm trying to find the time!
Good music is all we need . And that can be done with low budget equiments also . You are more into fashionable stuffs
I agree with you, keep in mind my set up is also intended to act as my UA-cam set, hence the flashy colors
Great Video. Very informative and encouraging to learn that you don't need lots of money to build what just works. Thanks Man!!
Appreciate the view!
I am late finding your channel sir. But I'm i'm glad I did. Thank you!
Real nice studio! Wish I had the money for a set up like this
I have had a lot of your review to build a home studio.
Thank you for your tips.
greetings from the Netherlands
Glad to help!
Awesome!
GREAT JOB!
I really enjoyed the way you layed out each component of gear.
Very Cool.
Thank you for sharing your setup.
No problem man, thanks for watching, more coming soon
Please do a video about your acoustic foams in the back of the screen and how to improve the room for better sound proof
Putting that on the list!
☺ thank you.
Very informative clip with lots of sound advice. Much respect brother man
Thanks for the knowledge bro,im working on finishing up the studio right now!
Thanks man this really helped me buy all my missing pieces.

You should do a video on mixing and mastering
Thanks for this explicit video.....i have been writing lyrics but want to start the recording but wants them done on my own studio.
I got a 65" Samsung curved 4k for my monitor it's cool.
Way too big . Good luck with your neck spasms after sitting there for hours mixing.. lol
Waste🤦🏽♂️
this is goals
I really like your approach to building a home studio on a budget. I'm getting ready to build my home studio / radio station so I found a lot of your info helpful. I had just watched your other video of your old studio setup before stumbling across this video.
I noticed that your new studio is more stripped down. I will check out the "yamaha HS - 7" reference monitors. I also noticed that you're not running with the two set's of monitors like before, why is that?
Thanks for doing these video's and I will continue to check 'em out and ask questions. All the best, Dennel
This is an awesome setup! I am doing a YT series on my first DAWless studio build. Your approach is really smart, keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Hello Jake, thank you for such a amazing information about how to build a home studio. This information was great. I always watching your video. This is what I was looking for bro......... Thanks!
Harry Tumu Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for creating this detailed video
Thanks for watching!
agree with almost all the components chosen, except the monitor (screen),

Thanks for helping us new guys.Looking forward to more great videos.
Thank you so much @techkitchen
Very informational and high quality video bro!
But give your monitors some space from the wall! you never want them close to the wall at least a few feet from the wall
Great video. I'm going to be working OT to get my funds up to build my home studio.
Good video man, I love the fact at 0:13 you say "2017" in rhythm to your back track and at 0:16 your voice is pitched to your back track haha. All joking aside keep up the good work man 👌🏾
Lucky Singh great ear
Your setup is awesome! Could you show or explain how your set up your lights behind your panles and where you got them? I've been having a hard time trying to do the same. Thanks!
Nice looking forward to improving mine
Please, I would like to know how to get those to start working... do you have any video for that?
Great video indeed but what advise can you give the world at large regarding a bedroom studio whereby you find yourself in a room which is quiet big and echo/reverb is somehow accumulated by the space?
Thank you!
Telly B Acoustic panels my friend, they can get expensive though, so if money is a concern, and you're only recording vocals, take a look at the SE Electronics "Space" reflection filter
Them 2 instrumentals at the end knockn g
Great Video. I liked this much better then first one.
the UH 7000 was something i lusted after for a long time but the driver mess was what turned me away. I got the SPL Crimson instead. But the UH 7000 sound was really wow. Am thinking of getting it and using it to clock the crimson. But i do everything ITB and am not sure if clocking my interface is not waste?
Thanks for making this project more simple.
This help me i wanna make a studio and start recording music and be my own producer
Great to hear!
Am thinking about doing this...soon Thank,s so much for the information

really taught me some shit Lowkey , Appreciate it homieee
Vocals sounds good tho so your setup is actually good
@Tech Kitchen Great video, wish you couldve talked about the desks. Im currently thinking about upgrading some of my hard wares and I dont know if I should get a new desk too.
Up to you my friend, while a desk won't improve your sound, it's always nice to have a space that's easy on the eyes
*Notices my Yamaha hs8s in background*
Hmmmmm
This guy has good taste.
*Listens intently*
Disappointed to find out they are 7's
Thank you so much for this vid all the info was well needed, this video certainly confirmed that I’m on the right track. 👍🏾

My pc has the i7 Intel processor and 32 gig of ram works perfect for my home studio
Do you have a video, on how you set your neon lights and panels up in your studio?
Nope but I'm planning on doing one, stay tuned!

I have 12gb and i5 and it's fine for heavy mixing
Thanks for the great advice and the look inside! Planning on making a 'studio tour video' ;)
Nice creative space! Love the clean look!
Thanks!
Can You Plug Up Hook Up MPC 2500 Analog Digital Portable Studio Tascam DP-32 ?
Thank you very much.
I got a two yamaha hs7... yey
Superb keep it up Anna 💪💪💪👌👌👍.
Nice video man but can you make one showing to how connect everything up what goes to what? Please!
Good idea!

TY my friend
My apartment isn't grounded, so a surge protector is useless right?
by the way, I thought the UH 7000 preamps are not bypassable? how doyou go into the Avalon and then into the tascam?
where did you get the purple led lights and acoustic pannels from ? got some links ?
I see yamaha makes good studio monitors
I use yamaha as well, i love it, and i like your studio dude, is 😎 cool, congras!
Does mood lighting help the creative process
Which is better surge protector or power conditioner?
that's a beautiful room :)
Awesome buddy...
crazy studio!
Thanks!
nanopatch, great tip!
