What do YOU think makes the perfect studio? Gear/plugins or vibe/environment? 🎙Full interview on Jauz's Twitch here - www.twitch.tv/videos/1037494622 👀WATCH NEXT - Jauz: Tiny Details Most Producers Miss - ruclips.net/video/Hv9r2rU-2qk/видео.html
When I was in engineering school we had a 24 hour computer lab on our campus for students. I'd meet up with my teams late there and work sometimes all night. It was SO disorienting to walk out at 2am from a bright well lit room into pitch black outside then drive home...
Some of the best mix and master engineers are now 100% in the box. As laptops get faster and more capable, I think the trend will continue. It just has too many advantages.
I honestly mix gear and vibe. I've always invested heavily in tools/gear (and edu) first. BUT then I create in chill, visually inspiring spaces - like a hammock or nature - which cost very little.
Main thing is production level of sounds and music. Studio can help you work with analagos. Even monitors doesn't have a big sence. More tembr , live, and true sound give you character.
I feel like natural light in a home studio is one of those things that most producers never talk about. Maybe because it feels like a given, obvious thing that most, if not everyone will have. However, a window always contradicts the whole perfect room treatment, limited reflections etc. and its something I've always worried about. Great to know so many care much more about the vibe. That in itself is inspiring. Cheers again sol!
I think there is an expectation to sacrifice natural light for sound quality, so your room sounds perfect. But most rooms will never sound perfect, so might as well enjoy the window!
I think you can get a lot of vibe for cheap when it comes to atmosphere. I have a plan for my home studio that will cost $2k and will be absolute fire but in the meantime, my $20 amazon lights add a ton of vibe and I've got all the plugins I need to make world class music.
For me (currently) it's about "gear" mainly meaning plugins that do what I want and a PC that can handle it. If I ever start bringing in more of an income through music then I'd love to get a badass environment going too, sort of like what Jauz was talking about!
I think what ever helps you create the best is all that matters. I noticed that using colorful lights caused me to feel more relaxed as well as focused when making music. At the same time, there's such a sweet feeling about getting new gear & getting to know it, like you're taking it out on a date lol
I think gear is your environment. For me, minimal is what I want right now. In the box for me at this point (quality audio interface and good monitors; weighted-action, piano-like keyboard controller; fast laptop, big external display). Maybe that will change. I would love to have the black box HG-2 outboard. Opinions and preferences are good: you should know what you want and need. But we're all different. If getting blinky lights makes you feel good and feels like progress, that could be the change that keeps you in the studio, keeps you happy, and keeps you creating longer.
IMO environment is more of a luxury then necessity, without plugins you can't make good music but without ambiance "environment" it's still possible. So for me gear"software" first then ambiance.
My workplace is literaly the kitchen. I got a corner with minium amount of great and I love this spot. Why kitchen? I can have easy ascest to food and drinks and this is really calm place to be in the evening or night. Dimmed light, colorful things around (cabinets, fruits, tools). Yeah colorful kitchen makes me feel good and creative.
I'd go for room treatment and then vibe. Now that I've treated my room I can listen at half the volume I used to listen at and still hear everything. My ears are a priority now. If I have money left for other shit I'd buy probably atmosphere related stuff.
I would say to invest 80% on gear ,20% on the "vibes", at the start you need enough gear to make high quality music, after that is easier to get some art or lights.
I mean you could have a big studio with all the equipment and do nothing. Or you could just have a laptop on a table with some headphones and a baby Yoda figure and still make chart toppers😂😂
If Laidback Luke is a real producer being in the game for several decades, why do all of his single releases without collaborators sound like absolute garbage from a mixing and sound design perspective and all of his live mixing is completely out of key and off beat most of the time?

Natural light is a must for me. What Jauz said about loosing track of time, I'm the opposite lol I hate feeling that detached from the world
yesss, me too, boxing myself in completely in a dark chamber sounds horrible haha

Same, imagine all that white and brightness all the time. Would do my head in.
Sol State has a voice 😱
Could have been a voice actor ;)
😱
The older I get the more I realize that all you really need is a laptop some good headphones and an environment that inspires you.
One my favorite ways to create too! Once you can trust what you're hearing, why not create in inspiring places?!

laidback Luke wants a laidback studio bcuz he's a laidback guy which is why he is laidback luke
The shoe certainly fits
The content on this channel is a blessing. Thanks a bunch man. Keep up the good work! :)
Thanks, will do mate!

you don't need a crazy ass studio to be able to make hits, but carving out a space where you can access your creativity the best can be huge

Haha, everyone loves a hot date ;)
Led lights for vibes

For sure! An environment that supports fun is a good environment!
Having house remodeled and will have a studio room. Enjoy your video cause I need a direction to set up room!
Good luck with the new studio build!
I think a balance of both is important.
Environment for sure (today you have practicaly all the tools that you need inside a computer)
bruh. I'm so broke I could only afford a pair of headphones and mic but that is more than enough for me right now.
Jauz mixes on $50 dollar headphones, you''ll be fine!
IMO environment is more of a luxury then necessity, without plugins you can't make good music but without ambiance "environment" it's still possible. So for me gear"software" first then ambiance.
a balance. I have all this gear but my desk is too small and my room is too small for a larger desk.
The enviroment helps man, I've got plants LED Lights and a indoor water feature........it just takes me to my creative place loooool
Sounds absolutely amazing man!
My workplace is literaly the kitchen. I got a corner with minium amount of great and I love this spot. Why kitchen?

Love it!
Environment natural light and your gear read to go! A basic soundproof is a think that can be very helpful also
Now ur cool voice is up !!
I’m with jauz, I totally love a bright clean room to work in
I'd go for room treatment and then vibe. Now that I've treated my room I can listen at half the volume I used to listen at and still hear everything. My ears are a priority now. If I have money left for other shit I'd buy probably atmosphere related stuff.
Does makes sense to trust what you're hearing first!
I'll say once your monitoring is on point, then there's the vibe. The gear it's not that important, but you GOTTA listen right.
Also fuck LEDs. Like Ian Kirkpatrick said, you can get in the zone on command, no matter what.
For sure - definitely gotta trust what you're hearing!
90% of the studio is accustic treatment. the rest is BS
I would say to invest 80% on gear ,20% on the "vibes", at the start you need enough gear to make high quality music, after that is easier to get some art or lights.
Good rule, i like that!
if you're "not sure" whether u have synesthesia, u don't have synesthesia lol
SHOUTOUT SOL STATE FOR THESE VIDS
Thanks! Crazy as this may sound, I think you could intentionally develop/practice the skill of (mild) synesthesia
Did you reproduce the track in the outro?
No changes to the track. Maybe I used a Wav and not an MP3 or something?
Environment > Gear
No hate against jauz or anything but i never feel a genuine energy from him
Some people just seem not as genuine as they are, although they often are. Not necessarily though :D
@@tzetzo_tzetzov perhaps
Very arrogant, didn’t liked the „7k-trick“ anyway.
@@_TheViewer_ Give it a try. Works wonders on some tracks.
It's like he thinks he is making some massive revelation with everything he says (just my perception)
«My son called me and "Hey, dad" -"Yeah, bro"»... okey 😆
Yeah bro :)
Some balls to interrupt a legend like Laid Back Luke 😑
I mean you could have a big studio with all the equipment and do nothing. Or you could just have a laptop on a table with some headphones and a baby Yoda figure and still make chart toppers😂😂
jast listen final releases of this producers on youtube channels.
LBL sounds professional.
Jauz sounds like kid from 2007.
If Laidback Luke is a real producer being in the game for several decades, why do all of his single releases without collaborators sound like absolute garbage from a mixing and sound design perspective and all of his live mixing is completely out of key and off beat most of the time?
Both! AHAhahahaha
Hey, if you got the cash, go for it!
