As long as you can create the right mindset, you're good. I started out in my bedroom too. And I needed more space, so I got rid of my bed and slept on the floor! Gotta do what we gotta do!
Mmmm separate spaces for things... what was hypothetically the living room when we bought this house is my home office... ham shack... music studio... electronics workbench... occasional photography studio... and catch-all table and chairs for laundry I haven't folded yet (at least 'til the wife gets back in town :D ). Fortunately the kids are grown and gone, so all I have to worry about is the new cat chewing on my headphone cable :)
I kept hearing kids in my head throughout the video. How are you planning to keep them from messing up this awesome studio when they show up? Love your videos and I look forward to watching your them.
Hey! Looks 👀 amazing !! To be honest you inspired me to create my home studio ... I started 2 months ago from 0 and thanks to all your videos I am almost done ✅ I would be honored to share some pics to you !! And I think 🤔 a bass and maybe electronic drums will look great there next to your other guitars why not ? 😁 also I am a Gibson lover so maybe a les Paul studio 🎸 😆 take care please continue uploading videos they’re amazing and really helpful kind regards from México 🇲🇽 Alan Z.
Hi Bro, pls make a video about long term review series about your gears...like 1 year used review 🔥 specially make a long term review video about komplete kontrol s88... 🙏🏻Because I confused a lot between s88 & Keylab 88 😢😭😭i heard that komplete kontrol s88 has problem on right screen, colour issue etc...
Hey @sanjay, to be really frank i really liked the previous video frame in the previous studio. It may be because i was used to that red colored shades and the samsumg frame above which gave a visual treat to your background. The present foreground lighting is better than the previous due to the natural light. So my suggestion is to add some color lighting to the background. Rest all are really nice. The extra space really aids the overall rich look of the studio.
Sanjay. Since you have so much space now I think it won't hurt to just have an isolated recording room. If any day you want to Mic up an acoustic Guitar then you have the option.Just a thought here
@@SanjayC Trust me me macha. I am an Engineer based out of Bombay. I know all about space constraint. Maybe you can put up a partition in the Synth Space you are planning. And have a small booth good enough for recording Vocals and mic up a Guitar. Could also serve an iso Chamber if any day you want to Mic a Guitar Cab
I love the robot shelf *beep boop* . Btw idk what mouse you use but the logitech mx master 3 and the apple magic trackpad together work rly well for productivity. Also a scrubbing wheel is ueseful for skimming timelines when editing any playable media
I have the MX Master - such a great mouse. I'm so used to using the trackpad for editing videos, and its quieter on camera when I do tutorials. But I never thought of using trackpad and mouse together. I must try that. Thanks, Michael!
Hey Sanjay, I had a suggestion for you studio. You can check out these clean-looking peg boards and put it up in one of you walls and display your spare gear like your headphones and mics on the wall. You can skip to 2:17 of the below video where a dude has showcased these pegboards. The ones used in the video are bit too large you can buy smaller size according to your preference. Cheers! ruclips.net/video/gYcL4h1GtsA/видео.html
Very nice and inspiring space Sanjay ! I love it ! Congrats ! But you are missing plants ! Plants that absorb dust and humidity ! That might be a fun and nice topic for a future video !
Mine Isa basement with the bottom half panelled and a 8 foot ceiling. I was thinking of just putting up the foam squares on the top half. It's unclear if I need to cover all/most of the walls or just a few tastefully placed around. The big question is what to do with the open space behind me... like your setup with nothing but open room from your desk to the 2nd room back wall.
Right om, Sanjay! Living room for studio, yes. I also don't give 2 cents if it "needs" to be rectangular or no-glass or underground prison cell :) First and foremost it needs t be inspiring, beautiful, comfy space to create art! And who said musician needs to isolate from family? In our time so many people can be a musician and at can be NOT a dusty corner or mans-cave with an old guitar. ..... Its OK though if family wants you to use headphones most of the tome LOL I also had two bedrooms joined at first (3bd house one kid), but daughter got neighbor dogs with not-good owners and had to rearrange. So I got a bedroom for studio (WFH office) and cant be happier. First, it has to be beautiful and art provoking :) Happy for you intaking much of sunlight to the new place, matches to you music perfectly!
@@SanjayC For me, that's already a paradise, but still assuming to upgrade, I would recommend 'one stand RUclips setup' and definitely any smart home automation system.
WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Man, it's amazing. I mean, it already looks pretty good, but there's always something you can do that's gonna make it look more awesome.
Thanks, John. I think another space - even if its grabbing your laptop and sitting somewhere else in the house - is one of the best things you can do. Getting out of your normal work environment!
Brother Sanjay, Greetings. It's looking beautiful with open possibilities. Although I miss the red wall, it's very nice. By the way, that backing track is fire, slow burning intense fire. Thank you for being an inspiration.
Very nice! Loving the gray color, layout and overall vibe. I'm thinking of picking up two synths eventually. Maybe they will interest you too: 1) Sequential Prophet Rev 2 (for lush chords) and 2) Moog Subsequent 37 (for leads and baselines). Both sound great, but I'm sure any hardware synth will be oodles of fun to play with. Happy recording!
That is a beautiful home! Love all the natural wood tone floors and furniture. Are the green panels for ceiling treatment? Gotta say I'm super jealous since I got 2 kids in a cramped house so its easily a 20 to 30 minute process to bust out a portable rig and start writing. Love the channel!
@@SanjayC I had a loss in my family on Friday brother. I wasn't able to access youtube . Will watch today . Even if I'm late, I won't miss it ❤️ . You always keep me updated on current gear brother.
@@SanjayC regarding the background, if you look at your old videos, you had a darker background than this light grey. I know the studio is a work in progress, I feel like something is missing that adds that crisp look that you have in your videos.
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, Maslin. My sincere condolences. Family comes first. But I'm glad to see you again. Thoughts and prayers for you and your family. 🙏
Wow. Congrats! Really cool and bright new space!!!!!!! Have fun setting everything up. I spent my teenage years with all my music equipment in the cellar - I really prefer a room with a lot of daylight over that!
I admire how you keep things neat. My Home studio is always a mess, with all the setting-up and packing-up. I try to tidy up every now and then, but give it a day or 2,.. it's a mess again. Anyway, I want to see your space again when everything is all set-up.
Cool to see a studio in progress video! I have the luxury to build a brand new studio in a few months, loving the planning part already! Thank you for the inspiration Sanjay.
Sanjay C ! Wow . Its the cleanest and most systematic studio i've seen. Btw which state in the usa did you shift and why did you shift? Really love it :)
Hi Arnav. Thanks so much. Wait until its done - it will be super systematic! :-) I moved very close to my old house. Its in the Washington DC area. I moved mainly because I needed a bigger space for creating.
I built an office/studio out of an unused room upstairs. No distractions and inspiration comes from the mountain view outside of my window. I thought about using a basement, but I also felt like it would be shut off and more of a dungeon than something inspirational and conducive to music creation.
That's a great idea. I actually made a video showing you how to create a studio for less than $350 (including the computer). You can watch it here ruclips.net/video/k1-sS5P0SCo/видео.html
Awesome studio renovation! For me I'm okay with normal bedroom sized studio, but it might be a neat experience to get into big studios once a while, if possible
Small spaces are easier to treat. Thats a nice benefit. The larger space is very difficult to manage acoustically. So I'm going to be doing a lot of work there.
If you go through his videos, aside from the filmmaking/photography you see, all the music is his created for each video. He sings, writes, and DIY stuff lol lots of creating sprinkled around! Also check out m.ruclips.net/video/nMQAZV_ZxMI/видео.html
Go Dude! brilliant setup and I Am relocating in a while. so you've given ME ideas here. I' look into softsynths if you are a midi man I've been a DJ since I was 15 and have JUST started using them for jingles etc. VERY KOOL! ALSO like the fact that your SOUND gear doesn't play second fiddle to TV. To too many folk its a background noise - not part of the show! Oh! & happy (belated) Valentines day too! Best....TJ the DJ
1) Security? 2) Thick curtains and/or dual-layer cellular blinds. I find top-down/bottom-up blinds SUPER helpful for both privacy and letting in natural light. 3) Pocket doors to separate the spaces and isolate if needed? 4) You already mentioned acoustic treatments - at least you have some large area rugs down and that helps a little. 5) Monitor (speaker) positioning - I hear you are supposed to have the monitors 38% of the room distance from the front wall (your gray wall), which in your space would likely mean your chair is basically in the middle of the room. Also, having them further away from your head is supposed to be more ideal, as long as your head and each monitor makes an equilateral triangle. I'm not sure I'd ever be able to do that due to space constraints either, but that's what "the experts" say w/r/t monitor positioning for best sound. As far as synths to add - how about some more "exotic" stuff like a Waldorf Quantum, or Nonlinear Labs C15? ;) If that's not your jam and you need more of a workstation - maybe a Roland Jupiter X or Fantom X, or Yamaha Montage / Mod-X, or Korg Nautilus. Looks GREAT tho man. It's wonderful that you have a family that supports your work/hobby enough for you to take over like half the main level there. The house looks *very nice* - congratulations - super exciting Sanjay!
I would like to build my first real homestudio in the flat that i get next month. And as you in the video, i got a very big cooking/living area too, with a total of 8 windows, where the studio should be. Now as I can see, you've got a lot of windows too. Is there anything that you've done/will do to "eliminate" those smooth surfaces (with acustic curtains or something like that)? pls don't mind my english, if it's bad at some parts..I'm not a native speaker😄
Hello Sanjay, thank you for your vidéos. You havé à beautyfull Family and home!, I can see your midi kontrol keyboard Is a KK S88 MKII. Is it your favorite? Is it still NI à good choice because we can not havé contact with thèm anymore from à Few months. What do you think about that? Thank you very much.
Hi Sanjay always a real pleasure to follow your videos. Congratulations on your new home. It makes you a nice workspace. Very good idea the space synths connected to the Mackie console. I also did that for 3 synths from the 80s, which I bought: yamaha DX7 that I still have, the Roland D50 and the Korg M1. It works very well this kind of space on the other hand it does not make you too far from the deckestop if you want to record your synths via your sound card since the Mackie? I love your furniture to store cables and headphones, it's a dream! : )) Peace and enjoy my friend! :) Swane.
Congrats Sanjay, really nice house and studio space! You'll probably get hundreds of great suggestion for everyone has different tastes. I like the idea of the synth jamming room, and with that Solina Strings you're certainly off to a great start! Me personally, I would add a Mellotron (the newer editions are very cool), an ARP 2600/Korg MS20 and perhaps a Moog DFAM/Mother combo. Perhaps also an Arturia Maxibrute for something a bit more polyvalent, or even a Minibrute or Microfreak. Then, create a aux feed from your mixer to a pedalboard with fx pedals, those synths will reinvent themselves constantly! I love tech, synths, etc, but also love the organic sounds we can blend in. A few baskets filled with world instruments like all sorts of flutes, kalimba, hand drums, shakers and all sort of percussion, etc, adds a nice human vibe to it all, adds a bit of warmth when things can start looking overly modern or sterile. It's gotta feel cozy and human. A few plants, gotta have some green! Nothing too crazy, one big one in a corner and maybe 1 or 2 smaller ones placed judiciously, an Aloe is always good to have! Lighting - perhaps the most important to get into that creative zone! Maybe a few strands of delicate Christmas style lights, with a dim amber color, adds a bit of a magical vibe to the space, you can even coil one lightly around the bigger plant. Have fun!
Hey man my studio size is roughly 10'H x 10'W x 13'L , do you recommend 5" speakers with 8" sub OR 8" speakers with 10" sub? Just Don't want to go overboard with sound or the size doesn't matter?
HEY SANJAY! I have a question! Would you ever consider joining Tiktok because as a learning musician, i have discovered that there is no one on Tiktok who does reviews of software and microphones, midi keyboards, etc. I think you would be brilliant! 😁
Beautiful pad Sanjay. Enjoy my friend, you've both worked hard for it. One thing though. Drawers filled that neatly?? Hmm, do I detect a slight OCD side to your nature there, sir 😁😉 Doubt they're going to stay that way indefinitely. 😉😃
I just have a question. Which audio interface should I buy. Its my first time. I will be getting akg p120 condenser mic. Should I get Scarlett 2i2 2nd gen or presonus studio 26c. These are my only options.
Beautiful new studio and home, Sanjay. Congratulations. Tell us, where did you get that awesome hexagon shelve, and amazing living room chair! Great aesthetics, all around, mate.
"gear I need to add" I was about to go "where the heck is your Rhodes??" but then I finally saw it in the main space XD "I hope it gives you inspiration" yes! Absolutely. I love this entire house that you've shown; your last upgrade video inspired me and so has this one. I remember when you showed off that Samsung as a picture display, and it stuck with me as something to do when I'm in a similar position. As someone that wants/tries to be very organized in her space, that set up with the drawers with the headphones and mics really speaks to me on a deep level
Nice space... Not a fan of a studio in the basement either. Prefer a main floor set-up, with some air and light. Mine currently being established in the used-to-be dining room area, connected via the open space to the living room area, somewhat akin to yours, though not as spacious. Total room dimensions for the two areas --- 22' x 15'. The only concern I have is the visual in from the outside windows...lots of thieves out in the real world. I am trying to block out the equipment with room dividers, etc.
hI, neat & perfect videos with clear description. And the info about gear is very helpful too. Can you please suggest , for cello recording - which is the best microphone ? if its pick up which one is the best ???? Thanks in advance
I don't think you should sell your old desk. If you started with that desk, then keep it as a part of your journey. I never throw/sell away my gear, I keep it as it reminds me where I have come from :) But again, its all your choice. Great studio :)
Hello sir, The Adam monitors I see in your studio. Will they you the best of both worlds? Like heavy sub bass, nice mids and crisp highs. I am looking to purchase a pair of monitors that will give me the best sound. So I wouldn't have to go to my car all the time. Thanks in advance
That is something I’d love to build up to! Btw I’d love to hear your thoughts on synth workstation with someone of a budget to 1600 and maybe one for dreamers
I love the paint what colors did you use.... Looks like shades of gray... Want to give my space same color kindly let me know the specific paint color you used or color codes thanx
Second floor. Harder to break in. When people hear the same loop booming out of somewhere over and over, some may know there’s expensive gear doing that. They got my neighbor some years back for 20k worth of gear.
Theres no windows and open ways in basement so there will be more trapped resonance. Should not prefer basement. You should not have changed the red color. Silver or blue can't best red. It looked beautiful before.
Great looking space! I'd be a bit worried about the acoustics in there for any detailed mixing work, though - you'll have issues with the asymmetry of having the windows/wall to the left and open space to the right. That will likely cause weird imaging issues due to the difference in first reflection time from the left vs. right walls.
Hey bro really love your studio you should definitely add some Acoustic diffuser and lights to really give some vibe to your room as well as your music production waiting for the full studio tour. cheers...
If the basement have a good space I would do a studio there, more isolation of sound from the outside plus you can be more concentrated on what your doing, also don't interfere with you living space. Congratulations for the new house!

Add some LED Lightnings....

"Studio that includes this house"
Perspective shift! lol!
Man I envy you! My studio is literally my bedroom! At least it puts me in the right mindset to make some lo-fi.
As long as you can create the right mindset, you're good. I started out in my bedroom too. And I needed more space, so I got rid of my bed and slept on the floor! Gotta do what we gotta do!
My studio space is my dining room table which is also my study area and is also my living room space.....arrghhh
Mmmm separate spaces for things... what was hypothetically the living room when we bought this house is my home office... ham shack... music studio... electronics workbench... occasional photography studio... and catch-all table and chairs for laundry I haven't folded yet (at least 'til the wife gets back in town :D ). Fortunately the kids are grown and gone, so all I have to worry about is the new cat chewing on my headphone cable :)

Yes, I'm truly blessed, Shiv. 🙏
Hardwork forever pays 👍

LOL! I think those kids sounds are from my music :-D I don't have kids, just a dog and a cat.
Kids?!😂😂😂 Maybe it was me? With the pets?! Hahahha
congrats Sanjay, so well deserved. Thanks for all that you do for us here in YT land!
Thanks you so much. Do you have any ideas for the new space?
@@SanjayC keep making the music you love 😊
You need some acpustic panels. Will drastically improve room sound.
For sure!!
@@SanjayC I Commented a little to early haha after I did you mentioned it haha. 😂
acpustic? Oh, you mean acoustic! :)
I saw the thumbnail, and I already know this will be a stunning video
Thanks, Jovi! What do you think I should do next to make my studio better?
@@SanjayC Add some cool light strips and more interesting stuff, looking forward to that!
Yes, light strips!!
You've inspired me to make a video of my bathroom studio tour!......

Gz, very nice open and bright creative area, but what about room accustics?
Thanks! I have lots to do for acoustic treatment. Still lots of changes to come!
I think I'm more anxious and excited about how the studio is going to be than you, hahahaha congratz u deserve it. Happy to see your development.
Seriously, bro, you have a lot of empty space, which you should fill up with new gear.
Give me some ideas! I always love to get new gear :-D
Shiny and new. Amazing 🪄❤️
Looks quite spacious and nice vibes...
Very impressive. Looks like a long journey to achieve something like that. Contratulations Sanjay!
💯🎉 Absolutely true!!! Thank you Julien! 😁
Hey Julian! Yes, long journey for sure. But it was worth it.
My first thought is damn, how to acoustically treat all of those walls. Do you think you’ll ever get it to where you want?
The inspiration room is the next best thing to have beyond going outside to get inspired. Excellent choice for your creative process! Peace
Thanks, John. I think another space - even if its grabbing your laptop and sitting somewhere else in the house - is one of the best things you can do. Getting out of your normal work environment!

@@SanjayC Exactly, growth is great. I've been striving and making upward and forward progress musically and creatively.
Very nice! Loving the gray color, layout and overall vibe. I'm thinking of picking up two synths eventually.

Hello sir I love your videos especially the gear reviews.
Can you do a gear giveaway for the subscribers.
Please.....
So music makes such money and allows to create dream studios? :F
I wish. I have to work 2 jobs to get this. And that too, waited a long time to save the money. But if you're lucky, music can help you get paid.

@@SanjayC ahaa! Washington dc noice. Hope the studios gonna be better
From Turin,Italy..... what can i say? Great job.... Looking forward to see other your videos ..... You're a good music motivator!!!!
I built an office/studio out of an unused room upstairs. No distractions and inspiration comes from the mountain view outside of my window. I thought about using a basement, but I also felt like it would be shut off and more of a dungeon than something inspirational and conducive to music creation.
I thought you were standing when recording all of your weekly videos 😂😂
Really?! haha! No way...I'm nice and comfy on my chair
Looks amazing so far! Hopefully one day I'll have my own home studio like this. Can't wait to see it finished.
Thanks, Anthony. One day comes for us all. Keep working hard and you'll get there.
looks fantastic, First I thought you were keeping Dharti in the basement now LOL
Hahahahha! You think I would let him do that?! I’d hit his floor from down there with a broom 🧹 to tell him to keep the noise down 😂😂😂
@@Only1Dharti exactly, and this would prevent him from open-mic-recordings LOL, so you had a hard point against him :-)
Can u pls do a review on a DAW called LMMS and BM800 microphone and can u make a song using the daw and the cheap mic? :D
That's a great idea. I actually made a video showing you how to create a studio for less than $350 (including the computer). You can watch it here ruclips.net/video/k1-sS5P0SCo/видео.html
@@SanjayC thank you men! I will forever be your supporter and i want to collab with you when i get big!
Awesome studio renovation! For me I'm okay with normal bedroom sized studio, but it might be a neat experience to get into big studios once a while, if possible
Small spaces are easier to treat. Thats a nice benefit. The larger space is very difficult to manage acoustically. So I'm going to be doing a lot of work there.
@@SanjayC Excited to see fully finished studio next time! Have a great day Mr Sanjay!
Great videos. Lots of good gear, but do you create anything? I’ve never heard your work.
If you go through his videos, aside from the filmmaking/photography you see, all the music is his created for each video. He sings, writes, and DIY stuff lol lots of creating sprinkled around!

I create all the music for every one of my videos. You can even find a walkthrough here ruclips.net/video/zosYUc6DRdM/видео.html
Go Dude! brilliant setup and I Am relocating in a while. so you've given ME ideas here. I' look into softsynths if you are a midi man I've been a DJ since I was 15 and have JUST started using them for jingles etc. VERY KOOL! ALSO like the fact that your SOUND gear doesn't play second fiddle to TV. To too many folk its a background noise - not part of the show! Oh! & happy (belated) Valentines day too! Best....TJ the DJ
1) Security? 2) Thick curtains and/or dual-layer cellular blinds. I find top-down/bottom-up blinds SUPER helpful for both privacy and letting in natural light. 3) Pocket doors to separate the spaces and isolate if needed? 4) You already mentioned acoustic treatments - at least you have some large area rugs down and that helps a little. 5) Monitor (speaker) positioning - I hear you are supposed to have the monitors 38% of the room distance from the front wall (your gray wall), which in your space would likely mean your chair is basically in the middle of the room. Also, having them further away from your head is supposed to be more ideal, as long as your head and each monitor makes an equilateral triangle. I'm not sure I'd ever be able to do that due to space constraints either, but that's what "the experts" say w/r/t monitor positioning for best sound.
As far as synths to add - how about some more "exotic" stuff like a Waldorf Quantum, or Nonlinear Labs C15? ;) If that's not your jam and you need more of a workstation - maybe a Roland Jupiter X or Fantom X, or Yamaha Montage / Mod-X, or Korg Nautilus.
Looks GREAT tho man. It's wonderful that you have a family that supports your work/hobby enough for you to take over like half the main level there. The house looks *very nice* - congratulations - super exciting Sanjay!
I would like to build my first real homestudio in the flat that i get next month. And as you in the video, i got a very big cooking/living area too, with a total of 8 windows, where the studio should be.
Now as I can see, you've got a lot of windows too. Is there anything that you've done/will do to "eliminate" those smooth surfaces (with acustic curtains or something like that)?
pls don't mind my english, if it's bad at some parts..I'm not a native speaker😄
I haven't added anything yet to treat the walls or windows, but that will be coming soon and I'll share what I do here on RUclips. Stay tuned!
@@SanjayC ok thx, i guess this could really help me buildung my own studio🙈
I'll stay tuned!🤞
Yes, I'll detail everything I do in an upcoming video
Awesome and very spacious! -- this looks like Abbey Road studio.
Hello Sanjay, thank you for your vidéos. You havé à beautyfull Family and home!, I can see your midi kontrol keyboard Is a KK S88 MKII. Is it your favorite? Is it still NI à good choice because we can not havé contact with thèm anymore from à Few months. What do you think about that? Thank you very much.
Hi Sanjay always a real pleasure to follow your videos. Congratulations on your new home. It makes you a nice workspace. Very good idea the space synths connected to the Mackie console. I also did that for 3 synths from the 80s, which I bought: yamaha DX7 that I still have, the Roland D50 and the Korg M1. It works very well this kind of space on the other hand it does not make you too far from the deckestop if you want to record your synths via your sound card since the Mackie?
I love your furniture to store cables and headphones, it's a dream! : )) Peace and enjoy my friend! :) Swane.
Congrats Sanjay, really nice house and studio space!
You'll probably get hundreds of great suggestion for everyone has different tastes.
I like the idea of the synth jamming room, and with that Solina Strings you're certainly off to a great start!
Me personally, I would add a Mellotron (the newer editions are very cool), an ARP 2600/Korg MS20 and perhaps a Moog DFAM/Mother combo.
Perhaps also an Arturia Maxibrute for something a bit more polyvalent, or even a Minibrute or Microfreak.
Then, create a aux feed from your mixer to a pedalboard with fx pedals, those synths will reinvent themselves constantly!
I love tech, synths, etc, but also love the organic sounds we can blend in.
A few baskets filled with world instruments like all sorts of flutes, kalimba, hand drums, shakers and all sort of percussion, etc, adds a nice human vibe to it all, adds a bit of warmth when things can start looking overly modern or sterile. It's gotta feel cozy and human.
A few plants, gotta have some green!
Nothing too crazy, one big one in a corner and maybe 1 or 2 smaller ones placed judiciously, an Aloe is always good to have!
Lighting - perhaps the most important to get into that creative zone! Maybe a few strands of delicate Christmas style lights, with a dim amber color, adds a bit of a magical vibe to the space, you can even coil one lightly around the bigger plant.
Have fun!
Thanks for sharing…. Looking forward to the adventure… love the desk…. It soo expensive but beautiful.. Salute
Hey man my studio size is roughly 10'H x 10'W x 13'L , do you recommend 5" speakers with 8" sub OR 8" speakers with 10" sub?
Just Don't want to go overboard with sound or the size doesn't matter?
HEY SANJAY! I have a question! Would you ever consider joining Tiktok because as a learning musician, i have discovered that there is no one on Tiktok who does reviews of software and microphones, midi keyboards, etc. I think you would be brilliant! 😁
I want a midi keyboard for fl studio
Between ALESIS V49 and ARTURIA MINILAB MK2. Which one I should buy??
Beautiful pad Sanjay. Enjoy my friend, you've both worked hard for it.
One thing though. Drawers filled that neatly?? Hmm, do I detect a slight OCD side to your nature there, sir 😁😉
Doubt they're going to stay that way indefinitely. 😉😃
I just have a question. Which audio interface should I buy. Its my first time. I will be getting akg p120 condenser mic. Should I get Scarlett 2i2 2nd gen or presonus studio 26c. These are my only options.
Window on the left side of the monitor speakers could cause some bad reflections problem
Beautiful new studio and home, Sanjay. Congratulations. Tell us, where did you get that awesome hexagon shelve, and amazing living room chair! Great aesthetics, all around, mate.
Awesome, Sanjay. Looks great. I miss the red wall though! 😊
Mazel tov bro !
Nice place , good vibes !
Thé principal is a place where you can creat Things Come from your heart !
Keep going !
And take care !
"gear I need to add" I was about to go "where the heck is your Rhodes??" but then I finally saw it in the main space XD "I hope it gives you inspiration" yes! Absolutely. I love this entire house that you've shown; your last upgrade video inspired me and so has this one. I remember when you showed off that Samsung as a picture display, and it stuck with me as something to do when I'm in a similar position. As someone that wants/tries to be very organized in her space, that set up with the drawers with the headphones and mics really speaks to me on a deep level
Nice space...
Not a fan of a studio in the basement either. Prefer a main floor set-up, with some air and light. Mine currently being established in the used-to-be dining room area, connected via the open space to the living room area, somewhat akin to yours, though not as spacious. Total room dimensions for the two areas --- 22' x 15'.
The only concern I have is the visual in from the outside windows...lots of thieves out in the real world. I am trying to block out the equipment with room dividers, etc.
hI, neat & perfect videos with clear description. And the info about gear is very helpful too. Can you please suggest , for cello recording - which is the best microphone ? if its pick up which one is the best ???? Thanks in advance
I don't think you should sell your old desk. If you started with that desk, then keep it as a part of your journey. I never throw/sell away my gear, I keep it as it reminds me where I have come from :) But again, its all your choice. Great studio :)
IT MEANS YOU NEED two ethernet interface connected and you need a laptop . so you have opened one ableton project but on two computers..
Hello sir,
The Adam monitors I see in your studio. Will they you the best of both worlds? Like heavy sub bass, nice mids and crisp highs. I am looking to purchase a pair of monitors that will give me the best sound. So I wouldn't have to go to my car all the time.
Thanks in advance
I have 1.5 feet between the end of my bed and my workdesk and it's annoying,I'm thinking of one of those beds bulit into the wall.....awesome vid.
That is something I’d love to build up to! Btw I’d love to hear your thoughts on synth workstation with someone of a budget to 1600 and maybe one for dreamers
Congrats Sanjay. I love the amount of space you’ve got! I like the colors as well. What is it missing? A nice futon for when I come over! Lol
I love the paint what colors did you use.... Looks like shades of gray... Want to give my space same color kindly let me know the specific paint color you used or color codes thanx
Second floor. Harder to break in. When people hear the same loop booming out of somewhere over and over, some may know there’s expensive gear doing that. They got my neighbor some years back for 20k worth of gear.
Theres no windows and open ways in basement so there will be more trapped resonance. Should not prefer basement. You should not have changed the red color. Silver or blue can't best red. It looked beautiful before.
love the new studio! :)
Thank you, Siddharth! I can't wait until its done
Great looking space! I'd be a bit worried about the acoustics in there for any detailed mixing work, though - you'll have issues with the asymmetry of having the windows/wall to the left and open space to the right. That will likely cause weird imaging issues due to the difference in first reflection time from the left vs. right walls.
Hey bro really love your studio you should definitely add some Acoustic diffuser and lights to really give some vibe to your room as well as your music production waiting for the full studio tour. cheers...
wow, congrats and all the best.
Thanks so much 🙏🏼
@1:19 i prefer making music in a room without windows and with some acoustic treatment....how can u have zero acoustics and talk about mixing?
If the basement have a good space I would do a studio there, more isolation of sound from the outside plus you can be more concentrated on what your doing, also don't interfere with you living space.
Congratulations for the new house!
Floor plant, flowers, flick some Acrylic paint on some acoustic tiles...
