I love when people say, "I"m very lucky." It shows appreciation for what they have, and in most cases it is simply because they've worked hard to earn what they have. Well done.
This is possibly one of my favorite TSE videos on RUclips. It not only shows the ThinkSpace studio but we get to see what inspires Guy at home in the garden. Very much appreciated and inspiring
Thanks, Guy for taking the time to do this - it takes so long to get the nuts and bolts right, and this will help loads of people I am sure, so many Gold Finches.
You know Guy, not everyone can get away with saying I just going over there to sit in the corner and talk to my little camera for a while. I think it is all in the way you say it. Love your channel man....! Great inspiration and just plain entertaining. Yes, I learn something new everyday that helps me either play better or write better... thanks mate... love the sound deadening panels.
It's easy to understand why there's a smile on your face after entering the airy garden studio. Would also prefer it over the concrete box, treated or not!
I discovered you this week on RUclips Guy! Fantastic videos! I'm going to watch all your videos in the coming period. I get inspiration from this and especially your positive and cheerful energy makes me happy. 👍
Nice to hang out with you at your place! We built a large-windowed 12x18 writing studio last year overlooking our southern California roses, greenery, and assorted bird feeders. Life is good. Long live Larry! (I'll have to name my favorite bird-or maybe a rabbit or squirrel)
I discovered your channel a few days ago and completely fell in love. You are charming, knowledgeable, witty... I'm starting to make music again thanks to you, cheers! Long live Harry the pheasant!
Absolutely love all your videos- watched one and now I’m going through them all! Love your humor and incredible wisdom&experience- thank you for making it available to so many and for inspiring me!
This is delightful. I will hopefully be buying a house with my partner in the future and I was just telling her I'm dreaming of a home studio space. I've never had one. Your shed office is wonderful and I hope I can get something like it myself one day ❤️
I had to sign in just so that I could say how much I enjoy these videos that Guy makes, and that's saying a lot because I hate signing in. Thanks Guy, for being a goofball like me, and for sharing your knowledge and work with us.
I do not make music, and I am not a "musically inclined person" but man I love watching these videos. The passion, enthusiasm, confidence and genuine nature is just so feel-good. Guy's like the Adam Savage of music.
Congratulations on the new look, Guy. Very happy for you. When i get to your age, i hope to be as cool as you are and also lucky to have a studio in my garden =) Keep up the amazing work.
I totally understand the studio makeover idea. I have been working hard to improve the sound of my small room. I am using GIK Acoustic panels as well and just by adding a few I can hear a big improvement in my room. I'm nowhere near being done, but I'm very happy with the results so far. The garden studio is great!!! Even though it's not idea for mixing with all the reflections I understand why you've made it a creative space.
Thank you so much for showing me your world and how you work on your music, it has been a delight to watch your energy and enthusiasm for what you do is infectious, thoroughly enjoyable every second of it, i have subbed content as good as yours has to be supported. Thank you once again this has been the best 28m and 19 seconds i have experienced in a long time. Cheers. Andy.
I have windows in my studio as well, and even though I've been told they aren't good for the sound, I can't give them up. It makes me happy to look out them at the trees. Thanks for the mixing headphone recommendation -- that sounds like a great alternative to having no windows.
Thanks, Guy, for showing us around your working spaces. I’m in the process of creating a new, let’s call it, mini studio and your tour has inspired me.
I love the idea of backlighting the boards... you can set the lighting to help match the mood of your work. Thanks for the show and tell, Guy. (Chair unveil next vid please) 👍😁
Thank you Guy for a marvellous tour around both your studios. Give my love to Larry. I for one was very curious about the separate slider box. Now you revealed the big secret :-)
Thanks for the tours. Daylight in the studio makes all the difference but is often impractical to achieve. If the reflections off the glass in the garden shed bother you, you might try some vertical blinds to knock down the reflections and still allow decent views and good light in an adjustable sort of way. Cheers!
I'm pretty new to Guy's youtube video blogs. He's very entertaining. I really appreciate the way he share's the content. Incidentally, I'm finally getting around to reconfiguring my own Shed into a home studio as well so this is very timely information for me.
If I was good at scoring and a bit less self conscious (!) I like to think I’d do vids exactly like this. Love it. Moved to rural south Ayrshire and still learning to identify the birds we get in the garden. I love and understand the “good for the soul” thing. Fascinating to see the setup too. And the “boys toys” lights! 😉
Thanks, Guy! It’s lovely to see how this all goes together. I’m film scoring in a tiny box room studio in HK. It’s literally a bedroom. But I love being able to just walk into the room and get started. One day I hope to have a shed! Ive only done 4 features so far, but I hope to get more work as I develop my skills!
This is exactly what I was contemplating to ask for... and what do you now... it is already there. It is so much better to hear from a pro what he is using and why, instead of from a salesman with an agenda. Thank you very much!
Great space! I recently renovated my studio as well and it has been an awesome change! Made DIY absorption panels and it feels like a veil has been lifted from my ears.
Well Guy you inspired my to send off for the Spitfire orchestral samples etc. Looking forward, means getting my dusty M-Audio keyboard down from the wardrobe shelf! Love music!
Haha take the man out of broadcasting but you can't take broadcasting out of the man....I love your enthusiastic knock breaking spins to camera two they make me chuckle everytime
I missed this video when you first put it up ... Decided to catch up today. Fantastic content as always, but such a good laugh too 😆 You're one of my main inspirations ... Thanks Guy 👍
It's so inspiring to be invited into your workspace in such an intimate and candid way. I'm also very fortunate to have a beautiful and inspiring musical workspace, thanks very much to my incredibly supportive spouse. But I'm nowhere near as prolific as you've been. Your videos are helping me become more productive and encouraging me to use my talents to their best effect. The enthusiasm you have for your music and your life is infectious. Thank you very much for sharing your charming world with the unworthy masses. :)
Thanks Guy for sharing your setup with us! I love the NI S88 MKII. It has a great feel for a pianist and you can adjust the velocities. Maybe, one day you can compose a song in honor of Larry the pheasant.
24:27 ...Chimney smokes backwards... :-) Great Video and - as always - interesting information & insights of how you approach everything. Great, and just a pleasure to watch... Getting from Germany. Michael
A few years ago I lived in a house where the only place I could put all my gear was in a conservatory with three glass walls and a twin-wall polycarbonate roof. It's very hard to imagine a worse space in terms of pure acoustics, but I was surrounded by nature and, on late spring nights, I had tawny owl chicks hooting to their parents for food directly over me on the roof, and sliding down the twin-wall to the guttering when they (invariably) lost their grip on the apex. If anyone ever complains about the sound of fingernails down a blackboard I tell them about owlet talons on polycarbonate! Anyway, it was my idea of heaven, acoustics be damned.
Super cool studios. I completely agree on the it-makes-you-feel-good > acoustically-pristine argument. Always working in a sealed box is not good neither for your health nor for your creativity; do whatever you can to break away from it every now and then. Granted I'm not a pro but just a hobbyst but, apart from a good pair of headphones, another solution for situations like your shed can be movable panels. I live in a small flat and have tall, amost to the ceiling windows and a huge wall closet behing my desk with mirror doors! LOL! An acoustic nightmares, easily solved with selfmade rockwool panels which complement the fixed ones already in place when I need some 'serious' mixing time. An engineer might get a stroke from only thinking about that but, as you said, it's the quality of the music that really matters - Bach's air on the G string still is remarkable and sounds phenomenal even when played on a rubberband, and a crappy tune is still a crappy tune even after spending a month at Abbey Road Studios ;) Cheers!
Great video guy My micro studio,is a corner of my bedroom ha,ha space is tight but comfortable to work in.Keeping tidy is a big challenge,lol If I had the chance and money,love to have a detached home,so I didn't disturb the neighbours. With a large room converted into a studio.
I love both studios. Maybe the shed studio is cozier because of the garden and Larry. Thank you for the details! Very interesting video. 👍 BTW I am 44 and tinnitus is my "friend" too.. faithful friend.
Yes the shed is my favorite. Since being a lot more discipled about monitoring volume the tinnitus has largely gone away thankfully or at least it doesnt bother me that much
It's a very nice music studio setup. My music studio setup is in the basement have an Yamaaha Portable Grand DGX-650, Controllers, Studio Monitors, and few other digital keyboard. The basement is not the best place for a music studio setup do to the noise acoustics. The little music studio workstation worked out very well. 🎹🎼🎶🎵
This has answered a lot of my questions...thanks. A Golden Oriole would be something to see - not many in central UK. I do have my own version of Larry though..😁
I've only recently found your amazing channel. I really enjoy your vlogs and your fun attitude towards your work. My favourites so far have been your writing in the car wash and the cafe thoroughly entertaining and importantly inspiring.
I love when people say, "I"m very lucky." It shows appreciation for what they have, and in most cases it is simply because they've worked hard to earn what they have. Well done.
I want to live in a world where every musician can say, “My other studio is in the garden of my home.”
Brian Whitmer my only studio is in my garden👍
Then you are one full studio behind, BC. Get to work on that!
Just "my" and "studio" does it for me😂
I don’t have a garden😞
My garden is in my studio.
I love you Guy..
You inspire me everyday to make music..
I eat every meal watching your videos.
keep up the beautiful work..
Many greetings from Germany Guy, you are simply awesome! I love your videos!
I wish more RUclips’s included the part where they go “I’m just gonna sit in the corner, talk to my little camera” 😂
I'll be discouraged we all have to graduate and he continue to push on
This channel is great for both, knowledge and entertainment!
This is possibly one of my favorite TSE videos on RUclips. It not only shows the ThinkSpace studio but we get to see what inspires Guy at home in the garden. Very much appreciated and inspiring
Its so fun seeing u with a more serious and teaching tone... wow...
Thanks, Guy for taking the time to do this - it takes so long to get the nuts and bolts right, and this will help loads of people I am sure, so many Gold Finches.

Long live Harry the pheasant!
Thank you. You Sir are the real deal. The best part of your studios is the obvious lack of ego therein.
Absolutely love all your videos- watched one and now I’m going through them all! Love your humor and incredible wisdom&experience- thank you for making it available to so many and for inspiring me!
Happy for you, Guy! You're a big inspiration. I just started your How To Write Music course and I'm looking forward to getting started on it tonight
I'm always amazed by the work you do with aaaaalll your cameras. Congratulations!!!
Thank you very much Master to show your 2 studies ... very kind of you ... from Argentina .. my regards!
This is delightful. I will hopefully be buying a house with my partner in the future and I was just telling her I'm dreaming of a home studio space. I've never had one. Your shed office is wonderful and I hope I can get something like it myself one day ❤️

Looks and sounds great man! Your enthusiasm is palpable and even part way through I find myself tidying up my little space.
I have windows in my studio as well, and even though I've been told they aren't good for the sound, I can't give them up. It makes me happy to look out them at the trees. Thanks for the mixing headphone recommendation -- that sounds like a great alternative to having no windows.
You could hang heavy curtains that could be pulled over the glass when making live recordings and pulled back otherwise.
Beautiful place. Love the birds view too, whenever I have breakfast at home. Thanks so much for the inspiring tour! ❤️
Very useful, Guy, as is almost everyting else you post.
A lot of good points as to why you feel better composing in the shed but let's be real, Larry was the ultimate one.
Wonderful to be surrounded by beautiful birds
wow, that look gorgeous! all this light around, pretty nice!
Thanks for putting these videos out Guy! I enjoy watching them very much :)
UR such a young spirit
Congrats on the new studio !!
Oh, I miss England! Sussex is such a beautiful county!
Thanks, Guy, for showing us around your working spaces. I’m in the process of creating a new, let’s call it, mini studio and your tour has inspired me.
great!
I love the idea of backlighting the boards... you can set the lighting to help match the mood of your work.
Thanks for the show and tell, Guy.
(Chair unveil next vid please) 👍😁
Chair finally arrived late this afternoon!
Thank you Guy for a marvellous tour around both your studios. Give my love to Larry.
I for one was very curious about the separate slider box. Now you revealed the big secret :-)
Thanks for the tours. Daylight in the studio makes all the difference but is often impractical to achieve. If the reflections off the glass in the garden shed bother you, you might try some vertical blinds to knock down the reflections and still allow decent views and good light in an adjustable sort of way.

Fabulous Michael, thank you for sharing this! 👌 👏 👏 👏
I want "A BRAD" looks great. Best wishes to Larry!
Easily the most entertaining AND educational videos out there. Thanks!
If I was good at scoring and a bit less self conscious (!) I like to think I’d do vids exactly like this. Love it. Moved to rural south Ayrshire and still learning to identify the birds we get in the garden. I love and understand the “good for the soul” thing. Fascinating to see the setup too.

But I love being able to just walk into the room and get started. One day I hope to have a shed! Ive only done 4 features so far, but I hope to get more work as I develop my skills!
Anywhere you can lose yourself in your music is your shed!
This is exactly what I was contemplating to ask for... and what do you now... it is already there. It is so much better to hear from a pro what he is using and why, instead of from a salesman with an agenda. Thank you very much!
Hey Guy! How you doin? Massive respect for the cora and the valiha. Congratulations!
Guy! It looks great! Always did like the shed too.
I need to travel to portsmouth again and sit in that cafe hoping you'll get it so that i get a chance to meet you. You are amazing! :D
Beautiful studio, Mr. Michelmore.
Great space! I recently renovated my studio as well and it has been an awesome change! Made DIY absorption panels and it feels like a veil has been lifted from my ears.
Well Guy you inspired my to send off for the Spitfire orchestral samples etc. Looking forward, means getting my dusty M-Audio keyboard down from the wardrobe shelf! Love music!
Sir you and your studio number one in the world amazing. ..Maasha'ALLAH
Thank you, very entertaining and informative.
I love your garden studio! Take care!
For the monitors you can use monitor arms clamped to the desk. The monitors can then be easily moved out of the way when you are mixing.
Haha take the man out of broadcasting but you can't take broadcasting out of the man....I love your enthusiastic knock breaking spins to camera two they make me chuckle everytime
Congrats! Really nice...
Keep the great content coming! The "new" studio looks awesome!
AND SOUNDS EVEN BETTER!!!!🤪👍
i wish i had all this, talent, experience, studios....
GIK Acoustics are brilliant, they give free helpful advice just from pictures of your studio setup. Thoroughly recommend them.
Yup couldnt agree more
Really loved all your videos, you have a great positive energy
Best Regards
Wonderful studio space Guy. Congrats.
So many video angles ! Actually cool
Guy I really like your music place!!!! It must be really inspiring!!!
I missed this video when you first put it up ... Decided to catch up today. Fantastic content as always, but such a good laugh too 😆
You're one of my main inspirations ... Thanks Guy 👍
I really like your garden studio. Best regards and long life to Larry!
It's so inspiring to be invited into your workspace in such an intimate and candid way.

Me gustan mucho tus vídeos... felicitaciones y muchas gracias.
Always a joy to watch. I'm also in a cabin at the back garden in Sussex 😀. Keeps the other half sane!
This is just fabulously interesting!
Thank you for sharing this video! I enjoyed it very much and I love your studios!
Love your channel and videos, Guy !
24:27 ...Chimney smokes backwards... :-) Great Video and - as always - interesting information & insights of how you approach everything. Great, and just a pleasure to watch... Getting from Germany. Michael
Awesome setup Guy 👌👍
You are awesome. I really like the way you work and just how human you are! I subbed because you are good for the soul. Thank you my new friend!
I love these work place tour videos! Great!

Pretty wonderful indeed! Continued thanks from along the coast in Eastbourne.

@@ThinkSpaceEducation Yes, and a day without music, just silence is good for our ears too.
Happy for you, Guy! You DESERVE nice stuff!
Thank you - thats what I tell the wife
Hi Guy! Nice overhaul!! So clean and clutter free😎
Yes clutter free is great
It's a very nice music studio setup. My music studio setup is in the basement have an Yamaaha Portable Grand DGX-650, Controllers, Studio Monitors, and few other digital keyboard.

Great update, congratulations!
you are a wonderful person and a great composer
This has answered a lot of my questions...thanks.
A Golden Oriole would be something to see - not many in central UK. I do have my own version of Larry though..😁
I can smell the atmosphere of your shed which I can assure it inspires you making more music
thank you :)
27:18 "I won't shoot him, can't speak for the rest of the family" ~ROFL!!
You could cut pieces of clear packing tape to put on the APC buttons to keep the text from wearing off.
thanks Guy, another great video!
As ever, a joy to watch! Greetings from NL!
I recently bought a Nektar Panorama P6 and that's a really good idea assigning the faders to control the various Spitfire mic positions. Thanks!
Thank you, Guy! I was just wondering about your setup yesterday. Love your channel and all you do. Cheers!
I've only recently found your amazing channel. I really enjoy your vlogs and your fun attitude towards your work. My favourites so far have been your writing in the car wash and the cafe thoroughly entertaining and importantly inspiring.
