It's the Room Where I Film My Videos! Studio Tour
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 มิ.ย. 2024
- Let’s take a tour of the studio where I make my videos! When does a bedroom become a studio? I guess just when you start calling it a studio? I’m very grateful to have a space where I can be creative and make videos. It’s literally a dream come true and 12 year old me would be super excited.
Thanks @HeatherJustCreate for helping me to film this video! It would have been very boring without you.

You prolly dont care at all but does anybody know a way to log back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot my account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Alfred Ernesto instablaster =)
@Kyson Pablo I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Kyson Pablo it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my account !
@Alfred Ernesto No problem :)
He is adorable. With that aside....this channel is quickly becoming my 'go to' as I navigate my way through trying to figure out the whole go live, and podcast 'thang' to launch my channel in a fun, new direction. I have logged HOURS and DAYS thus far as I learn....and really enjoy his content, and how he delivers it. He is relatable, real, and a great teacher.
I think I'll read this comment whenever I feel low. Thank you and good luck with the channel relaunch!
Your studio makes me happy!! Also I LOVE YOU 🥰💜
We should get married on Monday.
I'm the youngest school principal all the way in Barbados with a background in tech and creating arts. Loving what you do sir!
Keep at it!
Much appreciated!
What?! Tom's a teacher!? Nice.
Left San Diego in 1994 as a teacher to begin my overseas life of education. Now in Dubai and still working. Been watching your videos on the Rodecaster Pro, PodMics and assorted equipment. They have been extremely helpful in demystifying the process and continue to be a source of great information. Really enjoy the energy you and your wife bring to the TH-cam community. Best!
Thanks so much! It's funny right as I saw this comment I was looking at a comparison photo of Dubai in 2000 vs 2020- it's wild how much it's grown!
@@tombuck Cue Twilight Zone Music! HA! Yes. Indeed it has. Quick question: How did you make the intro doodle with your name on the Rode PodMic and Shure SM7B? Would love to borrow that. Hope you're back in class. I'm still working from home. Peace!
I made the animation with Procreate on the iPad (and edited it a bit in Final Cut Pro).
We’re doing online classes, so sometimes I teach from home and other times I teach from my empty classroom 😬
Hey, I am teacher as well! I teach middle school history and university public speaking. I always say there is nothing better to prepare you for a youtube channel than teaching. I had a strange feeling you were a teacher.
Haha, thanks man!
@@tombuck just sent you a message on IG 👊 excited for all the upcoming content!
Tom, great job as always. Appreciate the tour. Very relatable style of presentation and your enthusiasm is always appreciated.
Thanks Mark!
great stuff man - your Rodecaster episode was a clincher for me - keep up the great work - i see you ENJOY doing this!
I’m glad it was helpful! And yes, this stuff is actually...fun 😁
Wow..!! Akash Banerjee Watching Tom Buck
love your enthusiasm! Just about the start a podcast with some friends, and your videos are the "bible".
Thank you!
Great work mate!
That means a lot to me. Good luck with your show!
Awesome video Tom! Man I'm so glad I stumbled onto your channel a few weeks ago. Been watching a bunch of your videos for all your reviews, tips, and insights and I'm definitely getting "Leveled Up". Oh and btw.....KEEP. THE. DRUMS!
Thanks man! I’m glad you’re here- and don’t worry, the drums aren’t going anywhere!
Your blue wall is perfect and on brand for what I'm thinking.......hmmm love the lights
Thank you! I really love it- I’m glad that I just happened to paint it that way even before doing TH-cam 😁
Amazing friend! You’ve become in one of my best TH-cam advisers, thanks!!
I’m honored! Thank you!
really great insight. really love your way of keeping cables and all the things tidy in little bags you hang off the wall
Yes! Those have been a lifesaver.
Love the video! Dont comment often but I enjoy your videos, very cool to see your setup!
Thanks! I’m glad you’re here and I appreciate the kind words 👍
Hello there my friend >;-) You make great videos. I have been learning a lot from you about podcasting and filming.
I would like to pass on a tip if you don't mind. I have been a drummer for 32 years now.
Turn that drumset around. Work with the kit and the cymbal stands to set it up so you can play be comfortable and save space. Also filling the bass drum up with a few pillows gets you brownie points with the Mrs. >;-)
Great drumming and a cool kit man.
Thanks again and good luck with everything.
PJ
Thanks for the tip! I do have a pillow in the bass and it helps a lot. The kit would definitely give me more space if it were turned around, but I just don’t like playing facing the wall 😁
I absolutely love these BTS videos. I usually get drawn into the rabbit hole and watch an entire playlist of related videos. I really enjoy the channel and thanks for sharing your setup. Always inspiring!
You’re welcome and thanks! I understand what you’re saying and have been down that rabbit hole many many times. 😁
Thanks for your helpful videos. You are very inspiring. Please keep up the good work!
Fabulous! Thanks for sharing.
I have been waiting for this video.... Your setup and gear inspired me to start my channel just over 6 weeks ago. 100% room goals
Woah! That’s so cool to hear! 🤯
Nice, Tom! Love it! I’m actually in the middle of building a new wall in my house right now for my studio. Thanks for showing all the details of yours, like how and where your lights are placed and the brand and model of everything. 👍🏽
Hopefully it helps! Good luck with your new design!
It’s so fun to see how people set up their studio. It’s amazing to me how much thinking goes into studios! It’s a science. This setup is awesome!
Thanks man! I could watch studio videos all day- I love seeing all the different approaches.
Awesome.
The room looks really cool, have so much personality.
Great rundown! That fill light using the blinds works fantastic! :)
Thanks so much! The blinds don't look pretty, but they get the job done!
@@tombuck that is what it is about after all. My studio looks like crap as well, but not from the angle I shoot (at least I think so)
Yay. A studio tour.
I love your job guys… great team . Happy new year
Happy New Year Jorge!
Great setup! Love the home depot desks. rugged and durable plus they make a decent background for flat lay photos for thumbnails lol. Cheers!
Thanks man!
This is great. Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed it very much.
Completely awesome setup.
That room is my Dreamed Teenager (and adult) Cave!
Me too!
Wow..!! Amazing Studio
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your setup Tom!
You bet! It was a fun video to make.
I learn so much from your videos. Thanks for sharing
You're welcome! I appreciate the kind words.
Love all these behind-the-scenes!
thanks for letting me hang out in your studio. it was a fun walkthrough and very informative.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice setup! Only downside: now I've convinced myself I need an overhead rig! 😁
I mean, it’s totally worth it 😁
I love your clean bluish style (besides your videos). Nice!
Thanks very much! It's been fun to try and develop a style of my own over the years.
I love you & your setup ❤️
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome sir!
nice studio. love it .. my studio is outside at the moment . i take out and put in back when i am done. cool studio.. keep the great videos
Filming outdoors is always fun. Well, sometimes it's tough...but mostly it's fun.
Keep it up man! :) Your studio is looking great, it's been tough getting stuff to my place and setup my own studio with everything that has been going on, but slowly we'll all get there ! Cheers
Slow and steady is definitely the way to go! Your videos look terrific though.
The Enthusiasm Project thank you!
great setup!
I love your studio and Ben. You have alot of gear and a few of them, I got. I tried, not, to keep buying stuff, but it's so hard. Thanks, for sharing with us.
The gear addiction is very real 😐
Nice little space for sure! My next project is to re-do my closet and put a charging station in there and such. I really want a dang rolling C-Stand setup I can just push into the closet and pull it out when I need it so.....I am sure once I get the C-Stand that will be happening. Man Caves are awesome. Great video!
Thanks Paul! My charging situation is not ideal- I'd definitely like to create something a little more practical.
awesome 👏
Super effective way to make the most of your space.
Might use this as inspiration to rearrange my own setup
Good luck!
Loved the drum story in the podcast! And this is such a nice studio!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Was just about to crash . It’s 11 in Oz .. had to watch . Love your space !! Keeping doing you mate !! ✌🏼
I’m honored to have kept you up 😬
Great setup, Tom! At least you have the luxury of a spare bedroom. I live in a one bedroom condo high rise unit so my work space is very limited and the wife keeps harping on my ever growing camera and electronics gear, haha!
It's very crazy how quickly gear can eat up any extra space. I'm VERY grateful for this room!
@@tombuck Yes, so very true! When I used to do wedding photography for 25 years in the past, my whole place was devoted to camera and lighting gear up the ying-yang! Plus I had tons of large framed prints hanging on the walls everywhere to show prospective bridal clients. My G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) infliction was in over drive back then! Even nowadays I have to try to curb my desire to constantly upgrade, haha! By the way, thanks to you, I just ordered my Rodecaster Pro from Sweetwater today! Question please: Do you think I should keep or refund my Motu M4 4x4 audio interface? Is an audio interface connected to a computer reeeeally necessary for podcasting? That Motu unit is extremely difficult to get and is back ordered everywhere. I can't decide to keep it or not, what's your opinion on that? Also, do you have that optional $20 Rode USB charging cable to power the Rodecaster from an external battery pack? That item is not in stock anywhere that I can find.
Drum skills🔥🔥🔥🔥
Almost as good as your Illustrator skills. Almost.
I watched the whole thing. It was great.
I’m so glad you though so!
Came here from Jon's video and fell in love with the production value. Did a little skim and channel seems to be a bit video production focused, where as I'm more interested on the music. Do you perhaps have a separate channel for that? Or at least a video series? :)
Music is more of a side hobby to my side hobby- my channel is definitely geared more towards video production. But thanks for taking the time to check it out!
Your quality is super!
Thanks man!
Great tour 👌😄, i really like to see more RF Lens review from you. Really enjoyed the 15-35mm lens review. 😀🥰
I'm glad you liked it! I'm still figuring out how to approach the 24-105 review, but that'll be the next one I do.
@@tombuck It's really hard to find a well balanced review with great quality like yours 😀, Most people will pixel peep or just say their impressions of it like some famous TH-camrs😅.
Loved your rode wireless go review 😀👍.
So i wish to see "RF 50mm 1.2, RF 70-200 2.8, Rode video mic NTG" Review from you 😄🥰.
Your Dog is so adorable 😍😃.
👑
Tom your a cool ass dude. I would totally hang out with you. Nice music equipment.
Cheers 🍻
Nice
Hi Tom,
Enjoying your videos. Hadn’t focused on my TH-cam channel before, but am working towards it now. I am a magician and actors so it’s working out what it should be moving forward.
That sounds like the perfect combo for a channel!
The Enthusiasm Project I was worried that it may be too broad. But I’m going to try and tie it in with a podcast.
Nice informative video. Nice setup too. Can you specify which work benches from Home Depot these are? Are they the Gladiator adjustables (birch tops) or the Husky ones or some other? How deep are they?
These are the exact ones I have: www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-6-ft-Adjustable-Height-Solid-Wood-Top-Workbench-G7200S-US/206288247
They’re terrific.
you are amazing
Why thank you 🙏
What a great creative space, so well thought out. I'm currently figuring out how I can set my space up to do more voiceover work. Got the good mics but the room is large and echoey.
Echoes are tricky- I’m fighting that same battle at the moment. For voiceover, I’ve had good luck with isolation shields in the past.
@Tom Buck I got the Husky Work Bench (great suggestion BTW). Anyway, you stated you left off the middle bar. I'm I correct in thinking that's the bar with the Husky Logo on it?
Yes! I still have one of the top crossbars on my desk, but my wife has all of them off on hers (so it’s just the legs). As long as you’re not putting 1,000lbs in it, it should be fine 👍
Thanks Tom. Your videos have helped me in my Podcasting startup more than you know. From camera information, mic stands, lighting ideas as so on. I appreciate you.
Your drum set is nice
Thank you! I'm very lucky to have it.
@@tombuck When do we get to see you play? Your crash looks great.
Love your videos! Question, are your husky desks adjustable height and are they 6' long? I'm here because I have a room size similar to yours and I'm trying to get all my stuff setup in a more efficient layout.
Mine are the 6' non-adjustable ones, but I've seen they now have ones with height adjustment and/or casters, which is pretty awesome.
@@tombuck right on, thanks for your response. One more question I didn't see the answer to in your channel. Do you have a particular USB or Thunderbolt hub you recommend? The m1 Mac Mini is seriously lacking in the port department for those of us using a lot of peripherals.
Great Studio, but what about the framed CONAN Poster/Picutre? Please, I have to know!!
Good eye! It’s from his “Legally Prohibited from Appearing in Television” tour in 2010 after he left The Tonight Show 👍
Hey....really love your color grading and audio quality. Can you give some tips for getting such full sounding audio? I'm using the VideoMic NTG with a Canon 800D. The preamps are at the lowest possible setting as well. But somehow I can't capture good audio and the noise floor is quite obvious. So do you use Channel EQ plugin followed by a Compressor? Hope you have a video on this! I'm trying to get my voice to sound fuller but it always screws something else in the end.
Thanks for the kind words! The audio in this video is a little different because I was using the Rode Wireless Go, so the lav mic was right near my mouth the whole time. Usually I use the VideoMic Pro + with the +10db setting turned on and then keep the cameras gain turned down two notches from the bottom, while trying to keep the mic itself as close to me as possible without being in the frame. I believe the NTG is a better mic than mine, so you should be able to get some great results.
I don't really do any adjustments in editing. I'll usually boost the level a little bit in Final Cut, and every once in a while I'll add a bit of bass with the EQ since I have a more nasally voice.
The Enthusiasm Project thanks for the reply! Will tinker with the gain settings on the NTG and do some testing again. Need to find out where that noisy floor is coming from. Somewhat glad that you didn’t do much editing on Final Cut but also dismayed that something is wrong and it’s frustrating that I can’t resolve it. But that said, I used Rode Wireless Go too and that didn’t give me much noise but somehow not the fuller sound I would have liked. That’s why I went for the VideoMic NTG. Anyway suspect that the higher noise floor might be coming from my AC but have to go back and have a listen again. Please keep up the great work and looking forward to more videos from you! (Maybe I have to carpet my floor like yours to get more dampening...)
The Enthusiasm Project Oh yes...one more thing. Do you try to get your audio levels to -12db to -6db usually? That is, getting past -12db and into the yellow range but not close to 0db?
What is the little backlight you are using? am I just missing it in the video description?
😧. I’m only like 1 month older than your oldest guitar. Hope ur doing well and thanks a lot for the cord 😁.
This hurts my brain.
Hi Tom...what lens are do you use because it looks huge in there?
This was the Sigma 24 1.4. It’s a decent size room at 12x12, but that drum set definitely takes up 1/3 of it 😁
You look a lot like a County Teacher of the Year!
😉
Any links for the specific desk/bench from Home Depot?
It's the 6ft Husky workbench 👍
What mic are you using during the filming of this video?
The Rode Wireless Go 👍
Awesome video but... I was hoping for a tour of your school studio. I am being asked to head up our public access channel for the city and we may be building a news studio from scratch and this guy has no idea what he’s doing! Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
If you look at some of my older videos, I have several classroom tour/studio videos that might help out 👍
Does your light set up work well at night?
Yep, the room looks the same regardless of time of day 👍
Tom Buck I really love the look you created and it is interesting that your room is so bright with just three lights that are defused of walls all 3 lights key, fill, backlight. That RX-18TD must be very bright. I dont see much grain on ur video, is ur ISO 400? Keep up great work, very informative. I need to get my son’s teachers to step up their game. 😂
It’s a super bright light! My iso is usually 160 with an aperture of 1.4. 👍
TH-cam's recommendation brought me here. Your studio is really nice. My dream is to make better videos through various investments if my channel grows more.I've seen all these wonderful equipment. It's really cool.
Glad you're here! There's quite a bit of gear in my studio, but it did take many years to get there. The best thing to do is start with what you have and upgrade as your needs become apparent (and your budget allows). Good luck!
