Loving the set up! If you like the barefoots but are looking for a more detailed low end in a small form factor take a look at the Kerr acoustic k300’s. Really clean low end and small footprint
@@shed185 nice. i will have to take a look at them. never heard of those to be honest. ive had my eyes on the new line of pmc's to be honest...but thats a future endeavor.
This is probably my favorite of Andrews vids so far. Not only because your studio is so awesome, it’s also “accessible”. I feel like I could work forever in there, and that, if I work hard, a setup like this, (and professional music/mixes) is possible, and not so out-of-reach. While all the other studios are inspiring, they also seem “out of-reach” like trying to ask-out Kim kardashian or Meghan Fox on a date. Whereas, your studio is like that beautiful girl, runway model, super popular, who’s still somehow so human, & down-to-earth, you just might… have a chance with. Plus, of all the people Andrew has interviewed, you seem so cool and genuine, I feel like you & I could be friends. You, more than any piece of equipment you could possibly ever have, are the best advertisement for your studio/services, & it’s why I plan on contacting you in the future. Hope you’re into Romanian folk, with a twist of Brazilian rumba, mixed in with Peruvian flute (that’s also heavy on the kazoo and didgeridoo) over a foundation of Icelandic hip hop jazz fusion, layered on a soundscape of neo-ancient Mongolian war dance bass music… ……..Cuz IMA COMIN!!…… JK JK Thanks Josh. Thanks Andrew.
More minimalist studios please! Love obsessing over the gear and setups of some of these big studios but something a bit more obtainable is lovely and exactly the inspiration I believe a lot of us need
I appreciate these studio tours as well because it's helpful to see how to maximize your space and how important other things like acoustic treatment really are.
Josh and I went to SAE Institute in NYC at the same time, about 9 years ago. We weren't in the same class, and I don't recall ever talking to him, but I definitely saw him around.
Pretty much a dream setup for any home producer. A little bit of outboard, a few guitars, PLENTY of screen space, and a comfortable environment to work. Don't need more.
This just made me think it'd be great to see some mobile rigs in this channel. That would be wicked cool for producers and other musicians on the move.
This is a cool video because it's like this set up is within reach. It's actually similar to the setup I have now, so it's interesting to see what other bedroom studio guys are doing.

This is not a minimalist setup to me. A minimalist setup would be a laptop with a DAW, audio interface, keyboard, 1-2 guitars, 1-2 microphones. This video is showing more of a medium sized setup.
What’s the name of the piano playing in the beginning? It has a slight jazzy tone to it which I really enjoy or perhaps the name of the song would also work!
Looks bit like my place (mine is more messy). Just a question, how many recording studios are there in Nashville? 100s I am sure? Is the market that big?
This is minimalist ?! I just want to record. I have 2 cassette players that can record with built in mics. I record myself playing 1 instrument, then play over the top of that recording while its played back with another instrument while recording with the other cassette player until I've stacked all recordings of all my instruments together with my vocal for a rough draft for musicians to learn from so it can be performed. I've talked to a lot of studios with cash in hand with no result. Either they're a flake or they treat me like I'm trying out for a recording contract. If they like a different genre than i play they're not interested. If I had a recording studio I would take money from people that suck too. The more I search this topic the more I realize that I can't even have a conversation about it until I'm a college graduate, and I can't shop for it until I rob a bank. Most of the world doesn't understand terms like panning and pre amp and analog and clipping and that's why it isn't available to the masses. It's a terrible disservice to the art as a whole because it keeps artists from platforms. The technology is there its just not made in a user friendly format. Am I wrong?...because I have money. Will guitar center record me? Is there software in a language other than college? Will Rosetta stone teach me to speak college? I remember a beer commercial with doctor Dre doing his work on a device that fit in his lap on an airplane. Portable minimalist recording would spark my interest. There's gotta be a better way because I do ok with 2 cheap, outdated radios all by myself without speaking college. I couldn't trade my recording gear for a 6 pack of beer but what it's done for me is priceless. Somebody point me somewhere please...I need help.
Very nice !!!! If I can add something about the speaker stands and the barefoot, it will be interesting to check the difference with different speaker stands, just because barefoot are manufacturing all the product the same way, I mean that the box of the speaker itself is completely disconnected from everything inside, try to put a plastic glass of water on any barefoot and push the sound as loud as you can, you will not see any water vibration. Here a video of the French distributor (sorry it's a bit old): th-cam.com/video/VN4prUJnlr0/w-d-xo.html keep going !!!! hope you will start to travel the world for more studio tour !!!!
If you notice the room still has alot of life left to it. Sometimes we Overtreat a room until it becomes an unnatural listening environment. Also, uncomfortable to the ears.
@@AndrewMasters Oh totally. I was just laughing about the 2 stacks of outboard gear that he says, "I don't really use." It's a great setup! Definitely more minimal than some! It's all relative :)
This is exactly what i'm doing with onr of my bedrooms , a home studio music . All my gear i been buying for the last two years from deal i got on Facebook market and ebay. I want to go dawless as much as i can , so i brought days ago the Tascam Model 12 and this being the only gear that i brought new . I have 11 guitars that i brought for rediculous low prices and all of them today they have duplicate and triplicate the price i paid for . I always tell my friends , if they want invest their money , guitars market is amazing how it works . This morning i just win a bid on ebay on 4 Ghost Acoustics , sound proofing panels , €300 the cheaper i found in Internet was €1200 . This panels are made in partnership with sE electronics. Yesterday on Facebook market i got the sE Space Reflection filter for €30. From Chash and Converters i got ADM-5 active monitor for £49 , they are not the best quality monitors but i believe it will do the job . Two years ago i brought the Korg SP170S piano for €50 and the Pear Export full drum kit for €80. Last week i got from ebay the korg Microkorg Xl Plus for €200 , never used still was in the box . I got twobyears ago for €175 , the Marshall Avt150h, with the respective speakers cabinet , the Marshall 4x12 and the Marshall AS80R Soilist for €80. I brought 4 months ago the microphone MLX990 in the box as new for €40 and a dynamic microphone Phonic DM 690with the stand for €15 . Just before Christmas i brought the Boss VE500 pedal forv€180 and the Boss MD500 fir €160 , both from ebay . Also i got he Boss PW10 V for €50 and the Boss RC2 for looper Station for £40. Waiting to arrive the AKG K275 headphones also from ebay for €55 almost new with all accessories and box. Has been a big adventure loke driving 10h to pick up The Yamaha APX10NA , beautiful and amazing sounding guitar , but really worth the travel and the value i paid £600 , as they worth the double at least . Same like the Ibanez AR725 , beautiful guitar , sounds amazing , paid £280 , also the value , it worth more than double for whatvi been seen . As been a limited edition From Ibanez only produce in 2016 and all premium quality spec and construction , i can only see this guitar , very soon be a collectors guitar . Of course who doesn't ever have dreamed with a pink guitar? Also from Ebay i got this Fender Baja Telecaster custom shop design pink shell from 2018 for €550, beautiful guitar and sounds amazing. Not sure if true but for what i research looks like this model Fender Baja Telecaster Custom shop design pink Shell was only mad for the British market and only 250 units where made . Another bargain a Fender Stratocaster 50s reissue Dakota Red from 2002 for £275 , really a bargain and when you want that , Dakota Red guitar and finally you found it for a bargain , automatically you feel the happiness . From someone who plays in the Sweden orchestra I brought forv £120 the Fender GA43SEC , beautifully and quality build and sounds great . Because i didn't know about G&L i got curious and for £175 i brought the G&l Legacy Stratocaster in red fiesta ( sadly couldn't find in dakota red , as is my favourite colour in Stratocaster. Ortega R122 3/4 and Ibanez AEG10II for €150 , Squire bullet telecaster in Butterscotch for , quite a sweet guitar . As we know guitars are never enough, i needed to have, the Yamaha SLG200S and the Yamaha SLG200N , one costed £280 and the other £300 , both as new with all accessories and respective cases /bag . They really sound amazing the SRT system is beautiful . But not always, everything went well , like i win an auction on ebay for the 2017 Gibson Les Paul Standard Hp in bourbon burst AAAA+, beautiful beautiful guitar , but when i was going to pay , pay pal declined pay later in 3 times ! I contacted them and they told me i needed to wait 6 months to have that option , pay in 3 times. The price of that amazing beautiful guitar was £1400 , with box and all candy . After a year i still feel that i will never find that same , yearc, model , colour , guitar for that same price ! I think i didn't miss anything but if i will add to my long writing journey in buying music gear to build my own music studio to bring friends and people to play in it . I am a just few weeks of getting my home studio music setup and i can't wait ! I forgot i brought last summer the Alesis Strike Multipad for £360 , is a good quality sounding instrument .
Taking it home with Josh. I love you guys.
Thanks for swinging by and letting me show off my space! you rule!

Thanks Josh. Thanks Andrew.
Nice Tired Hands growler. I live by the brewery.
Cozy setup Josh! Simple organization and easy to get to what's needed to get the job done.
More minimalist studios please! Love obsessing over the gear and setups of some of these big studios but something a bit more obtainable is lovely and exactly the inspiration I believe a lot of us need
I love the minimalist studio. You don't need a ton of stuff to get huge sounds.
Love the small studios where I can actually learn something applicable to my space.
I appreciate these studio tours as well because it's helpful to see how to maximize your space and how important other things like acoustic treatment really are.

Nice looking studio. Comfort is also my biggest thing. The amount of time we spend in our studios....you gotta love your environment.
What a cool, chill dude
Thanks for opening up your home to us
Very interesting
Loved the refreshing honesty, I think many studios use more VSTs then they would like to admit on camera.
The small rooms are inspiring. Its something I can dream of having here in my home. Love this tour.
I like the monitor position on the 'lower side'. A lot more comfortable to not be sitting and 'looking up'. Realistic home setup!
This just made me think it'd be great to see some mobile rigs in this channel. That would be wicked cool for producers and other musicians on the move.
Did one with a mastering engineer a few videos ago
Using your monitor controller to switch between mixes is genius.
I've never thought of that!
Nice. Josh is a really smart guy with a great philosophy towards music! Enjoyed that!
I would love to see a tour from a smaller foley studio, or a studio focused on dealing with sounddesign! Absolutely great content! Thank you
Love seeing the lowered monitor! I has never made sense to me to have to look upward to see monitors.
Josh is the best!!
Love those monitor stands 😍
nice to see some DIYRE gear in the wild!
These are all so awesome! Love the smaller studio setups too!!
Love this tour! Great studio and great video :)
Super cool tour! Now I have monitor controller envy. 🤖🙌
Same
I love the monitor stands.
Great studio, I'm inspired
Baby josh is all grown up :,)
I just added his Spotify playlist to my library. Amazing work!
This is a cool video because it's like this set up is within reach. It's actually similar to the setup I have now, so it's interesting to see what other bedroom studio guys are doing.
Love this studio and absolutely loved the tour. Thank you :)
The home studios are my favorites
Probably my favorite so far…
Definitely appreciate another ACTUAL home studio tour! lol 👍
This was amazing!!!! Loved it! Following you guys! :)
Lol @ 10:21. Masters steamed his jeans so hard there at the sound anchors. So funny hearing his voice so close to the camera.

really like your channel im building my ownhome studio almost done with the live room and vocal booth ,
its going to b 2 rooms
very cool!
Love it!
Looks bit like my place (mine is more messy).
Just a question, how many recording studios are there in Nashville? 100s I am sure? Is the market that big?
Brother what curtains you used for windows
It takes time to learn what you can live without. Minimal fidgeting means more time for recording!
Did I miss the link to Josh and his friend's sync music on Spotify? Would love to check that out!
Gotta love a guy that has a bottle of Lagavulin 16 on hand 😉🤩😃
“Genital Compression “. Love it.
Been waiting to see the midas 500 series chassis out in the wild. I have one too but I've seen so many mixed reviews on it!
i get so many questions on that thing. i have never had an issue with it.
Killer barefoot monitors but man I’d switch out that Midas 500 for a Wes audio super carrier and we good
Minimalist with outboard gear? :)
Shoudlnt the most minimalist be all "in the box" with just a computer and interface? :)
Does everyone in Nashville have a studio or does it just seem that way?
Josh I'm late to the party, cool studio. I drill holes in my desk to hide those pesky cables.
How much did all this cost?
Nice space. Lean & mean, adn if you are super used to it, you'' do good mixes. Is it just me that thinks Josh looks like Ringo Starr?
Wow… when I saw his last name, I wondered if we’re related. Though Bonanno is a fairly common Sicilian name.
I liked how you cutted his obvious comment about the fact, that central stations do color the sound
my wife's a Bonanno!
I enjoy seeing a proper bedroom-sized home studio. Not those shop or custom home sized 6 figure cost behemoths.
Andrew, I feel as if you're my best friend after all the time I spend with you lol
Renting for 4 years is crazy to me. Cool studio though!
forgot the most important question: what kind of la croix you drinkin' there?
Audio gear is only electronics that still looks cool. Not sure why most other stuff today looks like garbage.
There is, in fact, no reason to use the mix window 🤣
I haven’t looked at it in at least 15 years.
I don’t get how he’s saying you can’t roll off low end or adjust the speakers...but don’t they have the meme switch? He doesn’t use that?
This is minimalist ?! I just want to record. I have 2 cassette players that can record with built in mics.

yeah so minimal... what i got would fall in the category of inexistent i guess
😂

Guys they call it minimalist because its a tiny space. Not because it's cheap.
my studio is roughly this size, with a drum kit instead of a sofa🤣
First?
He is gerat
If a studio's packin' analog gear, it ain't exactly "minimalistic" and sure as heck doesn't have four guitars
Awesome studio but def not minimalist. His rack hardware cost more than everything I have in the studio. Lol
If this studio is minimalist my name is Roger Waters.
What is minimalist in this studio? Still seems gear heavy
He doesn’t use any of it. He mixes 100% in the box.
the rule is: acoustic treatment and great speakers. after that, it's all gravy.
Where's your cap 🧢🧢🧢
Screw Sweatwaater
4500 for them monitors yikes!
lol minimalist
In the context of a mix studio, this is literally a computer and speakers in a bedroom.
@@AndrewMasters Oh totally. I was just laughing about the 2 stacks of outboard gear that he says, "I don't really use." It's a great setup! Definitely more minimal than some! It's all relative :)
the fact that someone can call mixing a "desk job" is really fckin sad
Nothing epic about this
this is nowhere minimal
A computer and speakers in a bedroom? Pretty minimal compared to the other 150 I’ve been to.
