Great advice in this video. Especially about choosing a DAW that your friends/peers/co-producers use. Love that. One more thing: Commenters have also made fun of my clean studio. Haha! Thanks for the shout out, Jef!
I did the opposite. I had a laptop as my main pc for a longtime. This past spring, I built a desktop and man it’s like night and day in terms of processing power. It would cost me about 10k in laptop form for just 2k. I still have my old laptop which is good for portability.
Thanks, Jeff. I'm an old school analog guy, moving into the digital recording age. Upon purchasing a Yamaha Motif XF8, I obtained Cubase. You are showing me that I'm on the right track (no pun intended) in building my studio. I look forward to continue learning new things from you. Great ideas I wouldn't have thought of. Kudos to you! Keep up the great work. I love your easy going delivery. You are much appreciated. Thank you!
Just checked your beats, they're great!! You must be learning a ton doing your beats in the the style of others... you've been cranking them out! Get in touch with places like Premium Beat if you want other ways to sell them!
@@jefgibbons Oh wow!! I'm extremely honored, thank you so much. It means a lot coming from you! 🙏 It definitely helped me to grow as a musician doing various styles of music. I'm definitely going to look into Premium Beat. Thank you so much for the heads up. I sincerely appreciate you 🙏
hEY Jef i have been watching your channel for over 3 years ever since the first day i chose to set up a home in the box studio set up. I have learned so much from you... Just wanted to let you know that you are helping a lot of us...Thank you.. P.S. I am die hard Cubase 12 pro user. Took me 2 months to stablelize C12... Long story.. last update fixed most the issues...
I’ve legit been waiting for you to do a video like this since I found your channel 😭 so underrated-you deserve way more subs because of all the knowledge you share 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thanks Lokologico! Keep in eye out for shows by my good friend James Hill, he's out in your neck of the woods and is one of the best musicians I've ever known!
I love the se mic surround. I found that putting the mic a little deeper inside it helped to remove a little more of the room and get a more “dry” vocal on center.
One suggestion for talk heavy videos like this - maybe try throwing in a quiet background track of some of your tunes here and there? No idea if it's just me, but I find it easier to keep focus if there is something I can nod along with along the way.
You know that white S61 is SUPER clean. Would have bought one when they came out if I had had money to burn, but I already have the black… JEALOUS, bro!
If it’s similar to my 2020 Samsung 4K (60Hz refresh rate), you can drop the resolution to 1440p and the refresh rate will double (120Hz). All frequency analyzers and meters will all be considerably smoother. - - - I upgraded my ADAMs A7X to Amphion One18. Life changing!!!
@@jefgibbons I agree with you... I would love to unclutter. LOL. I do it, just not often enough and a hint here and there is always good. I cannot even pull my keyboard out, right at the moment and last night I was drawing in chords. Haha!
That's pretty similar to my setup. One laptop, interfaces, big 4K TV, outboard gear (preamp, comps, eqs, effects, patchbay) underneath, ADAM's, MPC One, S2400.
Really enjoy your videos Jef! I have a Maschine + and Komplete Kontrol S88 Mk2 and finally getting around to building a proper home studio setup for music and video editing. I'm running everything off my MacBook M1 Pro Max and looking to also connect a 4k display via HDMI. I was wondering what dock you use for your MacBook since you've changed over to that? I use my MacBook for work as well so really want to be able to just plug in a single USB-C cable when I want to sit at my desk so it's all plug and play. Also love your desktop stand you have for your Maschine! Would love to know where you got that from if it's something you bought. Thanks for all the awesome content, I've definitely got a lot of inspiration watching your work!
Hi! Just found your channel today - binged a ton - so good! Question on that TV - how far is your listening position from it? Just reoriented my studio and thinking this may be the solution. I do love running in full 4k tho - you find a solution to run the highest res + synched refresh rate?
I have a home studio and I want a BRIGHTER sound for my vocals . . I have Cubase A1 11 . . . what settings could I put on for recording that could make it more pleasant and a brighter sound. My vocal mike is GREAT AKG 414. Thanks!
Hi Jeff, I’m a big fan, watching and learning from you for years.❤ keep up all the great content. I have a questions about the controllers (konkrol S49 & Maschine Mk3, specifically my S49 over the last year or so connecting with NI instruments the sound quality & volume are sketches. Are you open for a few questions via phone.
My Studio setup: Apple 27" iMac, 4TB thunderbolt external, Cubase 12 Pro, Maschine MK2, Streamdeck XL, MOTU 16A, MOTU 8Pre, JBL LSR308 monitors, Roland Fantom, Moog Voyager, MODX, Prophet 12, Prophet 08, Roland VSynth GT, Analog Four, Euro rack modular system. Type of music: Ambient / New Age. List your studio so we can see what everyone is using?
Hey Jef. Looking at the MacBook Air. Could you please run some tests...how often do you bump up against the 16gb ceiling? How big of a project/how many vsts (omnisphere test?), etc. Thanks. Love the content you keep pumping out!
THanks! I actually have 64 in this one, major overkill! I hear there are some clever ways it optimizes RAM, so I still think you'd be golden with 16... Just keep a good chunk of space free on the internal hard drive!
@@jefgibbons Thank you so much!!! So, given an extra $400 beyond the base M2, would you say it's better to pay Apple's massive overcharge for the Higher capacity SSD and a smaller external SSD for libraries. Or smaller internal SSD, allowing for a more reasonably priced, larger external SSD? I was aiming for a 500gb internal SSD
@@Clasam09 I will always go for as much internal as you can afford, even over RAM! Nothing stinks more than having to offload all the time or have drives hanging off the computer!
I thought my studio was good till I bought an RME ADI 2 PRO FSR DAC. I can never go back to the way my studio sounded before it. Not an ad for them but guys, I slept on RME. Those Germans are not playing around. It sounds insane!
Hi UNC, what sample rate do you record at in your studio? I use 44.1/16 standard so final mix is what most people will be listening at in their home. I used to record at 24/192 but found down sampling was not ideal for my listeners.
@@mattsynth Hi Matt, I have been at 24/44.1 for music and 24/48 for anything video related for a long time now. It doesn't take much more space, and I think going higher during recording then crunching down still might help a little. I've done tests and never actually noticed the difference myself! But I know some people swear by higher=better...
Another option is on plugin alliance you can get any plugin today still for 30.99 with code PA-3099. I’d grab the master desk true peak version it’s brand new and as an all in one mastering plugin it’s honestly hard to make it sound bad. Not as feature packed as ozone 9 but for a quick master it’s fantastic
Great suggestions, I didn’t know about the crazy sale glitch! But yeah, izotope looks the best for mastering software these days! I used to send my stuff off for mastering, while my setup is nice I prefer to trust those with the setup and the ears for mastering!
My machine plus have no sound at all coming from it through the head phones can you please help me it means so much to me it was just working a hour ago please help
Did you get it sorted? I'd head to the forums right away, always people quick to get back over there! community.native-instruments.com/categories/maschine
Hey bro! How’s that tv performing as your ips? I’m replacing my old 2015 iMac with an m1 Mac studio, and giving the fact apple display is wwaaaay to expensive for what it offers, I wanna give an LG C1 a try, but I’m afraid about lag. Anyways, thanks and greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽 city. Great stuff on your channel, hope your health is gettin’ better
Thanks! Getting my heart fixed in a week and a half, it’s a day procedure, should be straightforward! Check my vid on the tv. The lag will be noticeable, but I get used to it… make sure you can return the tv if you don’t like it, and make sure the refresh rate is correct. That’s all in my video!
Did you buy your Juno 20 years ago? Because if so, I mistakenly sold mine for $600. Haha. I bought mine for $125 And a Juno 60 for $75 The very early 2000’s were the best days to buy the vintage gear for so cheap.
Do you use any sort of "room measurement" stuff or have you just done it by ear? ps: There was some (mildly cryptic) chatter about you wife's health....can you let us know her current status? "Enquiring nerds who care, want to know". You are one of my favorite RUclips humans. You're sensitivity to the end user makes me empathetic to you, the content provider.
Really appreciate it Casey! She was in a bad car accident, but walked away from it, and is now almost back to normal health after airbag injuries. She had to go through some serious trauma as the person who hit her passed away at the scene (likely a heart attack that caused the loss of control). Pretty awful situation, and consumed us for the last little while.
Subscrition: Well, actualy it's exorbitant amounts of money. Just have a look at your online bank account at the end of the year. No, subscribtion services are not "great for people starting out", they're a trap. Painless little money, every month, every month, etc etc... For broke people, like me, there's enough free legal opportunities and just buy-for-real what you absolutly need (in my case a big nice orchestral library). I don't have a landlord, I don't need "softwarelords". Number ok keys on the master keyboard: 61 is, for me, the bare minimum. I work presently with a 61 and I would like to upgrade to 88. I'm tired of the transpose switch. Getting an old synth for cheap as a master keyboard: Great advice. I totaly agree. When you begin with little money spend it on something which make noise you can use in your music. Mike, the panel behind: Great idea. Furthermore it's perfect when you have to record a too excited singer, it reduces his/her movements (in this case you also have the old trick of the unpluged mike, but he-she-doesnt't-know-it's-unplugged, behind the head...) Idea to record the voice: Use an Eero Aarnio ball chair 😉
@@jefgibbons Yes, it's a shame but we did that: "It's a new technic from Amerika (obviously), I take the sound behind you head in order to warmth/increase your harmonics" (be creative in your lies, be adaptiv). At the end of the game you have less compressing to do on the voice and the result is better.
10:51 freudian slip? 😄 ♥
Ha! It was a subliminal shoutout... good ear!!!
Great advice in this video. Especially about choosing a DAW that your friends/peers/co-producers use. Love that. One more thing: Commenters have also made fun of my clean studio. Haha! Thanks for the shout out, Jef!
Thanks Sanjay! Yeah it's funny, some folks always have a way of finding something wrong! Mostly just great people out there though, I know you agree!
You go ahead and do you Jeff. I think a clean studio speaks highly of the individual who owns it! Thanks.
Your studio has a very nice t-shirt! I want the same!
Glad u did this vid ! Cause what I’m a huge fan of ur set up jef was that huge ass monitor!!
I did the opposite. I had a laptop as my main pc for a longtime. This past spring, I built a desktop and man it’s like night and day in terms of processing power. It would cost me about 10k in laptop form for just 2k.
I still have my old laptop which is good for portability.
Excellent!!! Love your training!!! I wish you did a video on Maschine Jam!!❤❤❤❤
I needed this 20 years ago……the money I’ve wasted. Now I know a lot but I wish we had RUclips and people like you back then.
Imagine if I had started 20 years ago!! (or at least 15 in the case of RUclips)
Awesome video Jef I love any time we get to see your studio, so cool!!!! Got some painting to do....
I really needed this. I've been feeling stuck with my home studio and this was the push I needed to take my setup to the next level.
Sometimes we all need that push... probably the best part of doing RUclips videos is I'm constantly being pushed... by myself of course!
Thanks, Jeff. I'm an old school analog guy, moving into the digital recording age. Upon purchasing a Yamaha Motif XF8, I obtained Cubase.

Thanks for sharing Jeff. Really interesting 👌🏼

Thanks Lokologico! Keep in eye out for shows by my good friend James Hill, he's out in your neck of the woods and is one of the best musicians I've ever known!
Excellent video Jeff.. You're that dude.. I still bump Lord Knows dude.. That's my jam..
Thanks JT! Hoping to get another song going with Olivia soon!
@@jefgibbons Bruh. Please let me know. I vote for an album from the two of ya. Your production is bananas. You got that soul dude.
I love the se mic surround. I found that putting the mic a little deeper inside it helped to remove a little more of the room and get a more “dry” vocal on center.
Good point! I did have it at the outside there didn't I!
Happy Dads Day Jef, I'm gonna ask for that TV, thanks as always for the knowledge
Thanks Willie!
Could you do a video of HOW you MAKE your videos? Would love to see that. Amazing productions! 👏👏👍👍
I plan to! Thanks James!
This came right on time! I was just about to ask for a studio tour on your last video 😂
That’s great! Thanks Michael!
I wish I could find the Limited edition white/gray S61. Aesthetics would more closely match other gear in my studio.
You can do keyswitches on a smaller Nektar board with pads bcuz you can just program the key switches to the pads.
GREAT tip!!
One suggestion for talk heavy videos like this - maybe try throwing in a quiet background track of some of your tunes here and there? No idea if it's just me, but I find it easier to keep focus if there is something I can nod along with along the way.
Hnnng that white KK looks soooo fineeeee
It is sweet!

Yeah, it looks pretty dang good!
@@jefgibbons You ain’t kidding. A purple Maschine would have looked nice right next to it
Very cool studio Jef! Can you please share the dimensions of the acacia desk top? Thank you
Sure! It's 70"by 32" and 31" high!
@@jefgibbons Thanks I appreciate it
Your main desk looks awesome. Where did you buy it from?
Hey handsome! How much would say your studio is worth? wow! You have a lot of great equipment!! Great tour of your studio!
If it’s similar to my 2020 Samsung 4K (60Hz refresh rate), you can drop the resolution to 1440p and the refresh rate will double (120Hz). All frequency analyzers and meters will all be considerably smoother.
