I finally found the desk of my dreams for my studio, and it's called DOMinator! Coincidence? Maybe ;)
By the way, I am going to release the track that plays at the beginning soon ;)

Is that an instrumental/synth version of "Behind The Wall"?
That "no midi packs were used" line really got me. 🤣
I wonder what the reason was.
@@teem5945 those annoying ugly ads that many of us get when clicking on videos about music production. That was a good one, 😹
"No MIDI packs" 🤣 👍
Really nice to see you so excited about your new creative space. Thx, for sharing with us and keep you up making the music you love.
Super happy for you Dom. I can see the joy in your face!!! Haha. Thanks again for all you do and keeping the fire of music creation in our hearts!!!
Glad to see you reviewing the StudioDesk! Amazing job Dom and amazing desk! Glad you found a dream desk that suits all your needs.
I've just watched a 16 min video about a desk... And when it was finished, I wanted more! Glad that no midi packs were used in this video either. As for the desk, my requirements are a bit strange so I have someone building one for me on specs... ...but I'd get the Studio Desk just for the piano luster finish!
I own that same desk it is a great desk Your desk with actually show up in a crate.
Hey Dom, your desk is WONDERFUL 🎶 ( The Dominator ) 👏
I'm so I love with this desk 🤩😍
You and Jeff Gibbons have the best desk setups
Awesome vid, loving the setup...Your Video Editing skills on another level!
that is a beautiful desk @Dom. no coincidence you are the Dominator
Awesome desk!! You deserve it!! Enjoy and keep creating your masterpieces!! 👍
Love the name of your studio!!! Nice desk!!!!
this desk was definitely worth the wait Dom(inatotor) XD I'm so happy for you. And I can't wait for the studio tour take care and enjoy your new desk
The desk you deserve Dom! I own a Commander 2, these are excellent desks and they put a smile on my face when I seem them, where ever that is. Built in Slovenia by very nice people. I love my desk!
Beautifull
Awesome congrats 🤘🏻🤘🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Congratulations Dom 🦇👌
Very cool desk. Almost bought one myself but decided to go full custom made
That is a dream setup! Με γειά Dom. Everything is really amazing. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! This really is a "detail" that enhances creativity. Good job μεγάλε!!! Congrats!!!!
Hello Dom , congratulations ! I understand why you enjoy and why you are so happy. I have the Commander V2 series . I feel the same joy everytime. Studiodesk made wonderfull products .It's a Real artwork with a very good price, it's not expensive for that top quality . It's a pleasure to create and play music on that desk ! Enjoy and good creation 🙂 and many thanks for all your job you are tremendous ! Thank you 🙂
Beautiful Desk
That's so cool Dom! Fly your spaceship well!
Thats a mean MegaDesk!
"no midi packs were used...." hahahaha GREAT!!!!
nice desk, thanks for the video
Woooow! Awesome dream desk and set up! What a happy composer!
the video did not even start?
Hi Dom, you are an energetic and joyful composer,
Man that intro got me uncomfortably excited 😂
awesome desk and an awesome shirt :)
LOL. The music cues! Excellent. Nice to see the UF8. I've had mine for a year now and love it.
In spite of the gorgeousness of the DOMinator desk itself, the lovely lights and the breath-taking aspirational gear postioned perfectly on it, ultimately it is a well-thought out workspace which will grow as you incorporate additional gear and give you a comfortable environment to spend hours doing what you love. If a desk can be considered both practical and sexy, the DOMinator desk certainly is just that!
Enjoy it Dom! (And yes, I want one!) 😍
So happy for you! Now go and make fantastic music.
Great review Dom enjoy your new workspace :-)
WOW!!! 👍👏🤗
awesome
I am converting one of the rooms into a new music studio and I have been eyeing up the Commander V2 they do, they make some awesome desks...
I was looking for a good desk for quite some time, and I saved your video for when Santa would be around. I opted for the Enterprise Electric, but damn... those chaps make the best desks in the market. Your discount code is as good as gold, and once I confirm details about taxes for the UK, this baby is coming home! Thank you Dom. Merry Xmass! ❤
Fantastic, congrats Dom! I remember 2 years ago when I came back into the music production world, now being partly hearing impaired on my left ear, I asked you about your view on this, if I could ever be able to do a good job... and man your encouragement was incredible! I am ever so thankful to you for that positivism. Congratulations again, you deserve it! Have a blast mate
This is so moving to hear Bruno! Groove on my friend!
how did you work around it? turn your right monitor down?
@@TheFujac The truth is I use a hearing aid calibrated to give me back some of the frequencies I lost on that ear. That creates a rebalancing for my brain of the stereo imaging. On the more difficult frequencies, mainly low end, I rely most of the times on my right side ear sometimes together with graphic analiser to confirm the frequencies. Gladly I have always had great listening skills, learned to play and sing always by listening. Lots of ear training now (the ususal stuff just like getting used to a new pair of speakers or hdphones)... all works to "recalibrate" the brain" into new challenges 🙌
@@brunoteixeira5912 nice....thanks for the reply
Oh wow. Same here. Came back to music production and just realized I have a hard time hearing certain sounds (specifically HiHats) on my left ear. It's OK if using monitors but I prefer using headphones. What was your process to find your hearing aid and how much did it cost you? Thank you.
Hi Dom - it was great to meet you at GearFest yesterday - your master class on mastering was amazing, thank you! Yes please, a video on the SSL would be really appreciated. Keep up the great videos (it won’t be long before you get to 100k subscribers)!
Yo, Dom Dadda!!.....That ain't no desk.....THAT'S THE FRICKIN' STARSHIP ENTERPRISE bro......Niiiiiiiice!!
EDIT: Just checked the site...wow they've got models called 'Enterprise' lol....Nice one Dom, enjoy your workspace dude!
0:29 My favorite part of the video. "No MIDI packs were used in the creation of this track." Absolute genius. You would not want any musical theory, that is for wimps, who wants to learn anything when a MIDI pack can "write everything for you." (Please note the sarcasm...😉😜)
Hi Dom. I just wanna say thank you inspire me a lot. thx again
❤️❤️❤️
@@DomSigalas I was away from music scene for a long time. but I always wanted to come back for do what i love to do. and i found your videos which gave me to courage? to one last challenge for the things I couldn't achieve. I wish all the best for your channel and your music too.
I have for about 2 years such a great product from them (Enterprise electric) and I love it
Very nice DOM, and VERY funny "Dominator" xDDDD.
I think the best thing is the keyboard stand system, so good. Hate when keyboard move when you play energic music
Enjoy it
Great review, I just order mine a hour ago. I will have to assemble it alone. I also have a Cranborne 500R8 I guess i will put it in the same location that you are using. I will use my MODX 88 for my controller. Currently i am using a Keylab mk II 61 which I like very much. I am using a 4K 55'' Sony tv for my main monitor, with two 32'' monitors I will have to come up with a layout that will work. Next step is to disconnect all my gear and move it out of my Room and then build the dominator in place, Oh lord! This is a mix of excitement and dread I have never had all my gear disconnected. I will sent a picture of my studio. Thanks
Amazing desk.
Congrats dude :) Happy for you!
Btw if possible, please do make a video on building a career as a producer. I think many newbie producers with less work experience like me will find it to be extremely helpful :).
Hey Dom! I wish I could be you in my next life!!! Thank you so much
I have a Studio Desk Beat serie and I really appreciate !
Thanks for the torture hehe... Its awesome.
hahahaha thanks Salvador!
woww
Hey Dom, looks like an amazing desk!! A somewhat off topic question...what monitor arm mount do you use? It's pretty tricky finding one that works well with a monitor bridge... I'm looking forward to the tour of the new studio!!
Super cool desk Dom. I’m also thinking of buying the SSL UF8 in combination with the UC1 plugin controller. Please do a review of the UF8 in combination with Cubase. Many thanks Hans
I looked at a few 0f the StudioDesks but wanted a sit/stand motorized desk. and to be honest, felt they were a bit overpriced for MDF dipped in fibre glass.
With some encouragement from Chris St'Aubyn, I decided to go DIY. I designed and built my own desk with parts from Amazon and Home Depot. Saved about $1800 compared to the basic Studio Desk offering.
Yes, please - would love your thoughts on a comparison between CC121 and the SSL unit!
Love ya DOM inator lol 😂
Haha 😂 awesome 👏 lol 😂 I get it DOMinator
Hhahahaha coincidence right???
@@DomSigalas God works in mysterious ways
The harder one works, the more hours spent, the more important the environment. Years ago, I had the good fortune of constant overlapping fantasy projects and took advantage of the income stream to build my dream Artisan Mobile, which supported my career as a live specialist and gave me more post-production work than I could handle. I’ve recently moved home and plan to do it again in a fixed space. This plan brought me here to see your experience. Much of my construction in the Mobile was self-designed and built but I had a great control room already, built by John Archer Design. At home it will be all new and I go into this with no small amount of trepidation.
Best of luck Peter! It's an intense procedure but loads of fun. I waited for 2 years to get the perfect desk!
@@DomSigalas Thanks, Dom. At least I won’t have to make this one roadworthy.
Cheers
Lovely studio. I want your shirt.
Hi Dom, congratulations to your new desk! It looks really awesomet...like a 747 cockpit ;-) Looking forward to your studio tour! The room looks pretty small. Do you have like another recording room or for storage etc.?
Thank you so much! It IS! The room is actually bigger than it looks but the desk is massive! Yes, I have storage and server room where all my mechanical drives and NAS are. I talk about it in the studio tour video ;)
Congratulations on the desk! Love the shirt, where can I get one?
Thank you Dom for this video. I am in a similar kind of setup. The only thing is that I never found a good place for my 88 piano master keyboard. I tried to use a stand and move it partially under the desk. But for that I really have to sit low when playing. Then my arms and shoulder hurt when using my gear further away on the desk. I noticed you sit quite high on your chair. How does that working position affect arms, shoulders, etc. Otherwise, this DOMinator desk really looks like a good upgrade. 😎
Yes please make a video about UF8+Cubase workflow. Love Your videos… 🤩
Bro, I am being overwhelmed by the amount of hardware you have in your studio. What a huge learning curve! makes me feel that my software-only studio is a JOKE lol. For hardware, I only have streamdeck and faderport 8 haha. Looking forward to receive my costume-made studio desk but not dominator obviously ;) But I wonder Dom, you have all this and use only one screen?
I can imagine Dom taking off into outer space with this amazing layout. Dom what about pc chairs you recommend ?
Herman miller man
Please do a SSL UF8 review. I know there are a bunch out there, but almost all just talk about how great it is. It would be great to hear your valued opinions on it.
Absolutely beutifull setup. Don't even want to ask what you had to sell to get the money just the desk and keyboard stand must have cost 😄
Hey Dom - studio is looking good 👌🏼
I notice the absence of your console 1/fader units.
Could you please share your reasons for dropping these from your setup?
Amazing! I have the desk of my dreams, although the analogue centre section is so cool. I've got a problem with my one in that my SL 88 Grand key keyboard is too tall to fit in the drawer. I have considered linear actuators but it's such a faff. Might be too big a project!
"No midi packs were used for the creation of this track" 🤣 Legend!
Hahahaha
I've been curious about their desks but thought the piano stand might get in the way when sitting- I noticed you sitting pretty far back while it was tucked under the desk. Personally I like to sit closer such that the arm rests on my chair are about halfway under the desk.
Do you find that it gets in the way?
Btw, curious what choirs you use at 1:50
Hi Dom please make video about your cables management, please please ..... thank !
That opening track Dom, I don't know, I'm pretty sure I heard a D minor chord that came from a MIDI pack. How else would you have come up with that exotic chord?
Fantastic desk and fantastic studio (oh and loved the music too). However I am halfway through the video and I just can’t hold myself on asking why so much excitement for a sturdy 88key keyboard tray? Isn’t that pretty standard on most high-end music desk including others from Studio Desk itself? Unless there is something more I am missing out on.
SSL UF8 review please 😊. Having the CC121 I was wondering if the SSL was worth investing for Cubase. Already have UC1. Thanks
Loving that vesa mount !!!. Up to what size screen does it hold Dom ???
Up to 32”!
Up to 32”!
What impacts/risers/effects VST is that for those sound effects Mr Dom?
Yes , please Dom make a uf8 Review , i want to know your thougts about it . PEACE FROM GERMANY ✌️
Now you need to talk about the workflow change to one 4k monitor and a tiny one (maybe just for Cubase metering). Also, why do you use Cubase over Nuendo. I have wondered about it for some time. Thanks for all the inspiration.
I explain on the studio tour video that’s coming soon! I also use Nuendo by the way!

Hey Dom, please do a video on VST live pro ! Thanks in advance 🙏
Dom Because of you I know that now there is envy and I have a lot of love for you... hahaha, just kidding Dom is beautiful and you deserve everything good that happens to you
Hey Dom, what is the name of the stand you have for your 4k monitor please?
Hey Dom! Nice desk. Is there a white version of the desk?
Hi Dom, I'm thinking about buying this desk, but I wonder if there is enough space under the desk when I just want to sit and mix without playing the piano. How many space is there for the legs. I mean how many centimeters can the keyboard stand go under the desk measured from the edge of the above plate? (I hope you understand what i mean). Btw: I like your channel!
I had a similar concern, and while the website of the manufacturer is excellent, I opted for the Enterprise Electric Set, which allows you to adjust the height at will electrically with the press of a button. Highly recommended.
Amazing ! How big is the monitor screen = 32 or 43 ? Thank you for many great vids Dom :-)
Could you please provide a link to your monitor stand ? Thank you !!
🙏
Honestly, I'm more impressed by your shirt 😁 Have you been to Eisenach recently?
hahaha No but I really want to go there!
@@DomSigalas 😄 Then you should also enjoy Thuringian delicacies food like Schwarzbier and sausages after visiting the historic places😁
My wrists hurt just watching this. I can't do keyboard-underneath setups. Having the keyboard underneath causes me to have to raise the main typing surface to an uncomfortable level for my hands/forearms. Since I do a lot of computer work that doesn't involve having my MIDI keyboard out, I can't justify the awkwardness, so I keep my MIDI keyboard on the desk surface just beyond my typing keyboard. This also helps while arranging in notation programs, because I'm mostly using my mouse and keyboard to navigate/use shortcuts/etc, and using my keyboard to tap in notes. If was ONLY using a DAW all day every day, then I'd maybe consider a keyboard-underneath desk.
Nice desk.
However, I have tested the both worlds of having a midi keyborad on a tray and directly on the desk and I'd say I prefer the latter probably because I spend most of my time producing.
Having to move the midi keyboard back and forth isn't particularly the best as you spend more time with the keyboard and mouse so it's much better to have them coloser to you than the midi controller... Stretching to reach the keyboard and mouse during production is a pain in the butt
nicce
Please make a video on the UF8
Please do a tube bus compressor demo
If possible.manley elop or spl.iron.thanks.
how much watts are you use for a day and how much do you pay?
Not too much- most of my lights are LEDs and I only turn on the gear that I need for every project ;)
What chair do you use?
I show it on my Studio tour video :) Herman Miller Aaron ;)
In Hong Kong I can custom any desk I need, my Carpeter has factory in China… made things easy…
Three things:
1. Quality of light system installation is very, very cheap, based on adhesive tape...
2. The Screen is ABSOLUTELY to high position for working many hours, even after lowering the screen.
3. Dom, on your desk no place for ... thinking :):):)... Of course, I'm joking.
Anyway, design of StudioDesk products is good. But quality of elements should be much, much better. I am interested to see this DOMINATOR after 10 years...
CONGRATULATIONS, DOM. I think, nobody could advertise a StudioDesk product better.
