so it's basically:
-You're the most important piece of your studio.
-Treat your room acoustics
-beware of the low-end of your room, learn how to listen to stuff ON YOUR ROOM.
-get decent pre-amps
-get a good/decent microphone
-know your gear the best you can
GatoPaint would get sonarworks or room correction software too
Your channel is about to blow up!!! I know how the UA-cam algorithm works... They have your vids in beta testing and cycling them randomly... Congrats and keep this positive energy coming - you are a natural in front of the camera!
PrettySimpleMusic Thanks so much! I appreciate that! Fingers crossed it continues to grow!
PrettySimpleMusic you channel is awesome!! Subscribed!
Colt Capperrune wow man... thanks so much!!! Love your updated studio too... You went genius mode with the transformation!!! 🙏🔥💯❤️
@@ColtCapperrune Congrats on the channel man ! Its been seriously helpful to me. Im taking on a studio project in my house in a few months time. What i see here can be helpful. thanks
I used to have a shit load of plugins "200+ inc Waves full suite", these days I have a handful mainly Soundtoys and Eventide, and I mainly use stock plugs for EQ. It's taken a lot of time, money, experience and confidence to get to this stage 👍
Man, I really like how you break this stuff down and take the time to explain this stuff at a level that someone like me can understand and I really appreciate that. AWESOME job on the vids.
We drove all the way from Memphis to record some vocal tracks in this studio. It turned out great ! Some of the best work I've ever done. Thanks Colt....You're the man!
That was fun ! Thanks for sharing your world with us Colt ! ! !
Really cool idea for a video man. Thanks for sharing. I live and record in Nashville as well. Enjoy the city, and congrats on all your success since moving here :)
David DiMuzio Thanks for watching and for the kind words! Love to grab a coffee with you sometime if you’re available
Appreciate every point you ever make. Thank You Colt. Happy new Year.
Best breakdown of home recording I've seen.
Thanks man! Love your good energy and attitude!
You are absolutely right about room treatment!
Guys, listen up! It's a HUGE factor...
Wow I had no idea your studio was in your apartment! This is inspiring dude really digging the videos and look forward to them great job!
Derek Cate I’ve never talked about it before this video. But I wanted to get this out there before the move. Thanks for watching!!
Loved the vid dude. As a guy who doesn’t have much experience n recording its a huge help when people like you post things like this. Awesome. Thank you.
Thank you for this post i've been following you at least three years and never seen this one and it gave me a turbo beleif that your plans work out throught all you went thrue .
Enjoyed this video. You really stayed on the most important points and then gave us gear geeks a great tour. Bottom line, these are tools and you create the music. Thanks for that.
One point that should be considered though is the amount of electricity consumption. I've lived in this same apt since '81 and it's a very well kept older building. Built in the '60's, the walls are double fire brick in thickness, which is ideal for recording since you don't offend your neighbours. Add the proper acoustic treatments that you said, which I have, and it's a great setup for me at least.
But with old buildings comes old wiring and I am very careful not to blow any breakers. So I'm in the box. I have an RME Fireface soundcard, which have great pre's in them and a Millennia pre. Like you said, what goes in is very important. This is my only outboard gear...okay, maybe a guitar amp or two.
But I run my whole studio from one 15amp outlet into a battery for conditioned power and have never blown a breaker. To have your outboard gear would be challenging to say the least. I think this should be a consideration when deciding what gear you're going to have running all at once in your apt studio. Your apt studio looks like it needs more than 15 amps to run. It's what has kept me in the box.
Great video.
You are full of very useful information, Nice Gear,and Refreshingly Great Attitude, I'm glad I Stumbled on Your Channel, Looking Forward to the Next Video!
you laid it out pretty well man, great communication skills! I will be following you.
Watched maybe 3 of the videos on your channel and man i gotta say....definitely got a new sub! Videos ive watched seem packed with pretty useful bits of information and spoken in a way that doesnt seem very over my head as a newcomer to studio and production work. Good work brother.
Love your passion, insight, and intensity!
awesome video Colt! You're an amazing producer and a very inspiring person! Keep putting out great music and great content!!
Thank you for the valuable information Colt!🙏🏼
Hey, Colt!
I really don’t like “longer than 10 minutes” videos but I had watched another shorter video of yours and I liked it... then I decided to give this one here a try and I’m glad I did that. I really liked the video and really like your calm style and opinions. I’ve even realized myself about something you mentioned: it is important or at least a good thing when you feel inspired and find some extra joy in a piece of gear that you really like, because it just adds to the fun and fulfillment we have on our daily music making journey, and that’s great.
Thanks and keep it up. I’m subscribed. 💪
Thanks for your time and your words of wisdom. Looks like a damn nice studio.
Great vid, great advice and great set up! Hope the new digs are working out well.
amp Thank you! New room is working out fantastic! You can catch a glimpse of it in my most recent video, but they were all be lots more content on the new room coming soon
Thanks Colt. That was great.
Really inspiring....thanks brother!
Wow, I'm from Illinois and moved to Nashville also. Marseilles, IL to be exact. Now I've moved South of Nashvegas to Pulaski, but stumbled across your channel because I was looking at improving some of my room treatment, etc. Glad I found you on here!
Thankyou So Much For This Amazing Explanation !! ❤️ It Really Helped Me Alot ...Keep It Up Man ! ❤️⚡
Hey dude this video inspired me alot to practice with what I got !
Honestly I only clicked on this video because the total gearslut in me wanted to see all your gear but got some nice words of wisdom out of it too. Subscribed!
Yoni Kessler Thanks so much for the sub! Glad you enjoyed it!
That diffuser is beautiful. So is your attitude.
Been following you on IG for a while, but this is the video of yours I've seen. Great work, and that's awesome that you were able to make so much out of that room! The new place looks like it's coming along and can't wait to see it finished. Thanks for the studio tour! Subbed!
stereolaunch Thanks for watching, and for the kind words! Really appreciate the sub!
This, my friend, is very very cool. I love the hardware, but I especially love your attitude, the positivity you give off. I really do think you can inspire a person here and a person there, who would otherwise be thinking, "Nah, I just can't do this, I'm too small-time, too small-space, too small-budget to even START doing something. I think this can give them the feel, "Yes, you CAN!". Start like you say. Get some control of your room. Control those reflections. Then learn what the room is doing that you *can't* control, and move on to a ONE next good component that you can afford. Just one. At a time, perhaps.
I was hypnotized by this video, I really was. I have a friend who is right on the edge of beginning this kind of "build a decent home-studio" journey, and I'm going to love pointing her to this, and I think, besides all the great tech info, the positive VIBE that you give off when talking about your space there, I think it will really be great. Thanks for making this video. I've subbed you. :) All the best to you!
Great informative video! Thanks for sharing your ideas! 👍
Thanks man...great advice and great attitude
Great presentation, you’re good on camera, nice editing...you’ll be at 100k subs soon!
Chuck Juice thanks for the kind words!! I certainly hope so, in the past week it started growing really fast. Hope to see you around!
Great stuff. On point. Love the gear choices, too!
MarlonGibbons Appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the wonderful video, great information and encouragement
Congrats man with your beautiful homestudio! Cheers from The Netherlands, Jeroen Simons, Independent, ex - Epica.
Jeroen Simons Appreciate it! Thanks so much for watching!
One valuable piece of advice I'm walking away with, is - make sure you know your equipment...! Thanks, great insights in this video!
Inspiring and informative. Thanks for making this awesome video.
Great video! Thanks for making this and presenting the details. Love the Siberian Husky! Nice 1st item to see...You described all the important items well and the importance of each. Thank you!
Had the opportunity and pleasure of recording in a Carl Tatz prepped “phantom focus” room. Just wow.
Great work!
I 100% agree with everything you said bro
Cheers man! Some good philosophy you got into during the middle of the video. Wise words brother
You rock, very inspring, started checking you out after seeing on various of Jeff and Capi blogs, channels etc....
Todd Ridgway thanks so much!! Love Jeff and everything he makes!!
I’ve been a live sound engineer for years at IATSE Local 16 in SF I also went to school for audio recording and I enjoy looking at tutorials you are by far the best everyone on you tube seems to copy and paste from everyone elese I want to say thank you and keep up the good work you are the second person I have ever subscribed too and the first would be Pinsodos place lol
Wow, I have learnt so much from.this video. Very informative
Brilliant video! Wasn't too sure to click on this when it came up in my feed... Glad I did, love your enthusiasm for the subject and clarity of explanation. Sweet gear, thanks for the tour... cheers! :) Subbed...
Matthew Elvis Brown Thanks so much for watching, and for the kind words, and for the sub! Appreciate you!
This is the very best video on the subject I have ever watched. Beginner or seasoned pro, everyone should approach things this exact way. Thank you for this, it will help many.
Eric Barouti I appreciate that!!! Thanks so much for watching!
@@ColtCapperrune It's all your fault :-). This part of your work is very important. The greatest harm done by the very cheap "home-studio" gear craze is loss of know-how. ( not forgetting that it did allow a bunch of people to create interesting material )So it's really pleasant to have someone remind every one about sensible technical basics, and even more than that : the dedication, enthusiasm endless hours of bending the learning curve and personal philosophy needed to make a living over decades, in this line of work. Plus i've discovered CAPI, thanks for that too.I'll add those to my small but serious, studio in the south of France soon.
Serious Info!!! you display here! Thanks and much succes with the new place!
Greetings from Holland in village Hapert...
Dude, you're awesome! Thank you for this video. Subscribed!
Jeffrey Dan Thanks for watching! I hope it helped! And I appreciate the sub!
Dude. When you turned that camera around, my jaw dropped. Thanks for giving us a peek behind the curtain!
Matthew Montgomery hahaha! Yea it’s not something I really ever talked about. Just wanted to show what is possible before I moved out of this room. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing, great video ! 🙂
Great video! Inspiring, positive advice for all home studio users, experienced or starter. Nice one.
Mick Sharp Thanks so much for the kind words, and for watching!
Great video! I find this very helpful.....and sensible. I'm starting a home studio in a small space too. Lots of solid info here....much appreciated.....I subscribed!
Respect! Good vibe all around ! Wish you all the best! Tilen
Tilen Sapač thanks! Same to you!!
this is awesome thanks buddy thanks for the inspiration
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Awesome setup and advice! I can pretty do everything I need to do in my studio. But I hire out the drums to be played and recorded.
Thanks for your encouragement
...and tech info ;)
Big Respect
Whats up Colt! Love your videos man. I'm stoked to see more videos in your new place and can't wait to hear the music that comes out of it! I may have missed it but I didn't see you speak about the UA hardware in your rack. What are you using it for mainly and how do you like it?
I see your Opals and...man these are great!
man im exactly the guy youre talking about at the beginning of the video. ive been on Gearslutz too much lol..anyway, i initially was planning to just go to a studio, gave up on looking for singers and starting singing on my own kind of music. its not the best but at least now i dont have to look for other people.
i mentioned this to my friend, and he said i could have a very good set up at home...i finally built a pc after labouring over the parts for almost a year, lol kept procrastinating procrastinating...
now im typing from my studio PC as we speak, got my monitors set up - now i need to treat this room. feels like theres too much to learn and taking away from workingo n my music. i will do similar to what you've done with your panels. the back of my room is a closet, so whenever i record i will throw my mattress against the closet, haha...not ideal, but at this point...
theres some days i feel like im wasting time with this shi* and i should just have gotten a h4n or tascam dp-008 and figured out the music fully, and then just go to a pro studio to record...but...here i am in the rabbit hole...i just hope im doing the right thing!
you have some good advice here, thanks!!!
Great video. Kudos for putting this content out!! : )
Marc Bosserman thanks so much for watching!!
"Sorry about the mess... boxes everywhere... we're packing up" -- Studio is immaculate and setup :')
James Foreman Hahahaha! That’s an awesome observation LOL, studio was the last thing to get shut down since I had to continue working until just a day or so before the move
Great video man! Keep it rockin
Gonçalo Bilé Thanks for watching!
I have been looking at that CAPI gear. I’ll have to give it a try. Awesome vid dude! 🤘🎛🤘
Mike Shrout do it!! I love literally everything they make! Thanks for watching!!
Excellent. Thanks for the pick me up.
Bro this really motivated me
Thanks dude, got some new info by watching your videos. And yes, music is expensive if you want a high quality sound. And i completely agree with your statement that we have to sucks first in order to be good, and that's what i'm doing right now, creating my own cover songs eventhough it's still shits but i hope i can learn to make it better. Thank you
Great advice on the necessities of a home studio. I have been struggling with the sound in mine and your video just tipped the scale in investing more into room acoustics than buying more guitars. Thanks!
ken tuttle Great to hear that it helped! Thanks so much for watching! Best of luck with your studio!
great video. very helpfull with basic principles. thank you so much
Watching from Belle Meade. I also live in apartment here in Nashville and I just wanted to say thanks for making this video! I am 22 and went to Dark Horse Institute in Franklin, where I learned the ins and outs to audio engineering. I have been really self cautious about not having it all together, with the right gear and plethora of talent here in town, I’ve been discouraged. Just really want to thank you for this video!!
Great video. Great attitude. Nice one.
room sounds pretty good
Good vibrations!
Colt, great name,, I'm a drummer in NYC and almost done converting my basement into a living space/ studio (still at the mercy of my contractor) glad I watched you vid great intel . I did subscribe and intend to watch more and will have questions as soon as I am ready to move in. Finding drums are tricky to record but learning more each day.
God Bless,
Michael
Michael Lattanzio Thanks for watching, and for the sub! Best of luck with your new space!
Very inspirational. Thank you
Great video! Thank you!
Woah. barely even 30 seconds in and I'm already blown away by this coincidence. I started watching this video because I need ideas for a new studio. Thing is, I'm moving to a house that's not far from Peoria, IL at all, so when you mentioned Peoria, I kind of had a fit haha!
Solid advice brother. Would love to hear your thoughts/process on mixing mono
Great Video, Thanks
My home studio is in Peoria, IL too!! This just made it hella personal.
This video is Literally the best and most valuable video for someone starting out or wanting to get into mix engineering. This answers all the question’s of why don’t my mix sound as good as the person in the UA-cam video. Watching videos of people using plug-ins and not knowing about the very important TYPE of acoustical treatment, front end and a possible hybrid set up that UA-camrs have, but don’t say is annoying! “The last eq video” could have been done in the first eq video had they informed the viewer of the pre amp, eq, compression and high end converters going in. Content creation for UA-cam is good but leading people in circles is annoying and time wasting! Thank You for this video! This is amazing for people in our home studios needing that quality sound and answers to these questions! Much Appreciated. Moving into my new townhouse next week and you are a big help in setting up my home studio.
I love your love for your studio with all the beautiful gears that you have achieved. And your attitude is inspiring. I wonder what your thoughts are about software plugins?
Dekranz Thanks so much for the kind words! I use plenty of plug-ins, and love the ones that I use. There are even times plug-ins beat out my hardware. They are all just tools, and the same tool is not right for every single job
Feeling it ! 👍🏽
Colt, I had no idea that was you man! I've followed you all this time on IG. It's good to see your doing well in TN. I wish you had talked about where your drums get recorded, in the apt. or elsewhere and the process behind it. Anyway, I really dig API gear, plugins at least. I want to expand to a 500 series rack, but you made a lot of sense about buying stuff and more stuff without mastering what you have, brilliant! Liked and subscribed, I'm on board.
J: M.A.C. Thanks so much for watching, and for the sub, and for following on IG! My drums get recorded elsewhere, in terms of the time spent, Recording Drums is such a small piece of producing out an EP or an album that it doesn’t make much sense to have your own drum room here in Nashville unless that’s what you do primarily. There are literally thousands of fantastic studios here in Nashville that are affordable to rent per day. I hope that helps!
Great advice! I'm trying to step up my game. Going from basic low end gear to slowly acquiring top shelf mics, pre-amps, EQ, compressors etc. also a Gibson Hummingbird or Martin D-18 or D-28 (or all of the above) wouldn't hurt lol. Definitely love the advice on Acoustic treatment!
Great video and I really dig your positivity, encouragement and overall good dude attitude. You have some great gear and nice to see the hardware getting used. I like your comment on the gear can inspire. I have my set up in a smaller size room like your apartment and I keep all my guitars, amps cans in there as well.... I hear you on the plugins, there are some really good ones (I like the UAD stuff) but WAY too many to sift thru and too much of a time waste...pick a few good ones, learn em inside out an keep using them. I do like the idea of having the hardware chains like you have it, you know it works for you and its ready to rock in an instant. I sort of getting back into the HS game after a few years...thanks for the pointers. Can't wait to see your new Studio after the move.
Awesome man! I appreciate the kind words, and thank you for watching!
I am an absolute beginner in being music producer and my basic is only vocal. thank you for being an inspiration sir
nice studio..great job for inspiring an artist.. Thanks
I've been following since Peoria. That's my home town too. My parents live just a couple blocks from Flores Music. It's great to see you doing good. Can't wait to see the new studio set up. I would have never guess that was in an apartment!
Mihnd PMR right on man! Thanks for following along!! And for watching!
@@ColtCapperrune Keep the quality content coming!
Mihnd PMR will do!
This is what a high end commercial studio would look like in Mauritius. I mean, in my 15 year career I've never seen one with this much gear!
Great information!
5:22 totally agree. I never so listen something so real like that
Johnlittleblues Gomez thank you! Appreciate you watching!
GREAT SETUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ms. Monie thanks! Appreciate you watching!
Very encouraging...
It's amazing how far things have come. As long as you have the knowledge and a little bit of good gear, there's no reason why you can't do professional level stuff. How many times have you heard even classic songs from great musicians, where the production seems off where you think: how did they let that happen? Learning never ends. Even the pros make mistakes.
