I knew this dude looked familiar! Fan of Ruby Rose Fox over here! Didn't realize Colin did all this other stuff too. Incredible space for what he's doing!
I love this setup. I love white.. My house has white carpet throughout the house and 30ft wall of windows. and the studio has a extra large slider and a custom extra large slider. So i get having lots of light. I do worry i live in IL and we have many Tornados, No matter how hard I try my studio always looks like ass. Everything cool about this house was my dads doing. He Built it and I always had a recording spot in the house. He loved it. He was a power house singer like Mario Lanza. I can still hear him singing as i was mixing out tracks.. I still recall hearing him singing Free Bird in that big voice. LOL fun stuff.....
The room's treated very well actually, the panel colors just match the walls to blend in. All walls and ceiling are treated with 30 broadband panels and then tuned with software for flat response. It's a great sounding mix room.
Beautiful space - sweet gear and this seems like a totally cool guy living a great life! One request: please put the Two Rock on top of the Balthazar - or separate them. The feng shui is killing me with the larger amp on top of the smaller one. Judging by your thoughtful decor, I am certain this was discussed/ thought through and the decision was made to go for it. But you tried and it doesn't work.
Thanks for your thoughts! Agreed, I'd love to switch them, but it's not possible at the moment until I build a custom cabinet to house both amps. I designed the setup this way for a very calculated reason that improved my workflow in session. @austinbridge had the same question. Here's my answer to his comment below. I know, it's a nervous sight at first, but it's fully stable and safe. I'm very protective of my gear. The weight of the TwoRock is extremely solid so it's not actually top-heavy. The TwoRock is a tank. (Obviously I removed the TwoRock handle so they lay flat). I set them up this way on a heavy board w/ casters and an attached power strip for easy ergonomic workflow in session. This way I can roll the whole amp system over to the console position at a moment's notice having access to controls on both amps. This way I can A/B them quickly or control them both for separate instrumets without leaving the mix sweetspot. TwoRock knobs are on the front while Balthazar knobs are on the top. The Balthazar is on top by design so I can reach the knobs on both amps without moving anything. Efficiency is king in session to not slow down ideas. Hope this helps!

@@colinsipos Colin, you still make me nervous 😅 But by the way your studio looks, I can tell that you are methodical and meticulous. I know that Two Rock is as solid as they come, and you would never put any gear in harm's way. lol
@@austinbridge I appreciate your respect for the gear! I feel the same way, and I assure you it's all safe and out of harm's way. This is my personal private studio, not a commercial space with other people using my stuff. The songs we create with these tools matter the most to me over the tools themselves. Having systems for the tools to better serve the songs always comes first for me over being too precious with the tools. That's my philosphy. The house is more important than the hammer :)
Great Set up! Clean and simple. Nice job!
Beautiful studio. I love how light and bright it is.
Very welcoming space, I like the symmetry with the two side windows it brings light without messing with the screen or the side of the room....

In Rainbows on the wall, a man of quality…

Very Nice Colin!
Very inspiring!
I FINALLY see a pair of Quested's on a studio tour and they don't even get a mention...sheesh.
I thought the same lol! Quested H108 user here. You almost never see Quested anything.
They're the VS2108s w/ Focal Sub6. Love them! We did discuss them in the shoot but not everything could be included in the video.
This guy is hard as fuck for natural light
It’s underrated, especially with how many commercial studios have literally no natural light
DOPE..
I spot the Margot album hangin in the hallway !
Good eye! Richard is an old friend.
his approach + setup is very similar to mine. seems like a cool cat. very, very cool.
Between Jakub, Welshly, and Colin, you're getting a serious look into Cleveland-grown musicians lately! 🙌
Are you from Cleveland too?!
@@colinsipos Born and raised! I moved to NC during the pandemic but will always be a Cleveland kid at heart. Loved this tour of your place!
@@strivison Very cool! Looks like you're doing some incredible work from NC. Great to connect and thanks for watching.
15:06: "Or NOT tube-y?" ;)
Looks great. I missed the videos (if there were any) where you decided to trade out your trio/ns10's for the barefoots and why?
With all these amazing setups, I want to know what the dusting regime is. Everything is always spotless!!
❤
He‘s mixing in that untreated room? respect.
The room's treated very well actually, the panel colors just match the walls to blend in. All walls and ceiling are treated with 30 broadband panels and then tuned with software for flat response. It's a great sounding mix room.
So, tell us more about that little table!
That pull out bed for guest is so clutch!!
I’d rather sleep in my studio honestly, I’d be anxious with other people sleeping in such an expensive room 😅
The Napoleon pic is awesome!
Matt Bodett is the artist - based in Chicago
@@colinsipos Ah cool! Thanks for the response!
Great Table on wheels, for Laptop and Mouse and anything. Where can I get this ?
What is that desk?
Interesting...a lot of fellow Clevelanders in Nashville these days...like Uncle Larry.
What's the screen rack in the right please ??
I really ❤ you
Unrelated, yet very important question: what hair product do you use, Colin?
BIG LIKE FROM "ISRAEL: !!

Was he the guy dancing with the baby on that Evian commercial?
What is that guitar he's playing in the intro? Looks sick.
1970 Silvertone Jupiter
Seems like who ever using Quested,they don't want to tell anyone😂
first
Am I the only one who really wants to know how he ended up getting the ladder into that room?
Through the window!
@@colinsipos That's my guess too. But damn, I love a good through-the-window story!
Please explain to me the giant Balthazar on top of the tiny Two Rock. My brain. heart, and wallet hurt.🙃

His "partner"... So, is that his girlfriend, or wife, or not?
Why does it matter?
