Good news! I finally built the rack this past weekend and it turned out great! I freakin love it! I really appreciate you posting this vid. Saved me a ton of money. I built this for under $50 in 3 days. I built mine with a 30 degree angle as it fit my setup better this way.
Supplies I used:
- (3) 1 x 3 8' Pine Quality Board
- (1) 1 x 2 8' Pine Quality Board
- (1) 1 x 4 6' Pine Quality Board
- 2.5 cans of flat black spray paint
- 1 box of 1 5/8" course drywall screws (Used to build the rack)
- 1 box of 1" drywall screws (Used to install gear)
- 1 box of flat washers
I pre-cut all of the wood, pre-drilled every hole, spray painted everything flat black, and used a skills saw to cut everything including the 30 degree angled boards.
The video explains most of it but I had to figure out a few things on my own. If anyone has any additional questions please let me know. I'll probably do a small vid of mine at some point. Rock on! 🤘
Sweet! I just ordered a 12U slant rack off Amazon for 200 bucks! And it's carpeted! 💰💰💰
Thanks Weezna, really enjoying watching the studio take shape, great job
Awesome video!!!!
Simple, effective. Very nice !
Loved it , Thanks For Sharing . Great Choice of Gears BTW !!!
I am so envious! This looks amazing
Man! I’m building one of these for my rack sampler and couple of effects units that I have- thanks for sharing this video.
Nice man! You can be realy proud of your work. I enjoy this channel and your Instagram a lot.
Looks great. Looking for ideas for my desk and like the clean look of your racks. Well done.
Amazing job with the studio! Congratulations!
Grateful!! Thank you for the inspiration!
Very nice racks, thanks for making this video, your creations are 10 out of 10
These look fantastic!!!
LOVED IT MAN !!!!! WOW !!!
Super nice Neat craftsmanship!!!!! Way to go bud!!!!👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯
Nice design! Great job!
Very nice!!
"That Klark Teknik EQ"
Glenn Fricker has entered the chat with the hammer of truth.
This video came out over a year BEFORE Glenn Fricker did that video!
Really awesome 👍👍👍
Nice!!!!
I just cheked for good rackmounts's recipes... here I found, simple and "eyes looking good"
Job well done.
Looking amazing 👌🏾🙂
Jamal Johnson thank you 🙏🏻
Awesome job man
Thank you for this
You may need to get into the home studio design and build business. This is truly fabulous work.
Your a genius !
Wow I'm very inspired 💯 👌
It’s great
It is incredibly complex when going into the details, you have such great knowledge! You seem to be totally passionate about what you are doing, loving to see people like you making their dreams come true the exact way they want! Best Regards from your friend François in Montreal, Canada! 🎼🃏🎶🎵🙏👍🌠
Lol, ok "Magician of Sound" 🤣🤣🤣
I’m actually building these tommorow . Great video !!!
Heyyy that's awesome! Good luck
your studio setup is nice, I new you was gonna make it look good once you was finish with it.
Nice work mate. It's you, I just realised - Sonar guy. Thanks for all your videos man.
Great looking studio. I think I’m going to build one of these. I am accumulating outboard gear.
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing. All that hard work is really paying off. You’re at the stage where it now becomes fun 😊. You also saved a shit ton of money making your own racks/desks. I wish I had the patience for all of that. Lol. I use Argosy desks/racks which are really nice but also very expensive. Anyway, keep up the great work bro. I can’t wait to hear what comes out of this room.
Tony Draper Thank you thank you, yeah it really makes me happy to be able to walk into that room now with the way it looks ha ha
... and yes it is actually getting to the point where I get to start making music and really truly enjoying this space!
Just to add to your elation, I too saved a ton of money, on my car insurance by switching to Geico.
@@TrueSoundTV do you moon walk into the room? I sure hope you do.
Nice dbx 160A's, i own 2 dbx 160x usa, love them on kicks and snares..
Great job Weezna.Continue on the path brother. We at MIRROR EMAGE ENTERTAINMENT wish you NOTHING but Success
Thanks for sharing. The studio looks nice. I was just thinking building a studio rack with this kind of wood to have only the structure. I'm still hesitating about the shape anyway. Maybe something straight with a panel on the top to put the monitor speakers.
I'm wondering, the gears seems very condensed. Especially for the amplifiers and power supply. Isn't it risky? On my manual amplifier (Yamaha) they recommend to put empty space above.
Thanx! I made one!
For this rack, do we still need to attach some Fan for the devices just like the rack server for keep the temperature of devices stay steady or cooling system?
man you're good
Haha thanks!
It's really nice ! I would add a plank of wood so things can be put under the rack units (like a printer, or computer, or even a shoebox with your spare patch cables) :p
Or a hamster!
any primer for the wood? sorry i own a construction co. but been playing/tracking for 30 years just got an axe fx 3 and some old gear, H3000, UA 710 twinfinity lying, around so you got me motivated! and speaking of the UA its a half rack unit (W) obviously, any suggestions without buying the kit?
The recessed casters are mucho excellent !
Oi! Where did ya go? I am excited for an update on the studio
so i dont need space in between ( especially the hot boxes) for venting?
I have a very small studio here in the UK and I was very nervous for you when I saw all the jack and XLR's hanging down with the weight of the cable trying to pull them out . It's very difficult to find the one cable that's just loose - not quite right out - in the middle of a session. I have made sure that all cables have some king of mechanical retainer or just lift the cable and support it somewhere to the side to avoid this situation.
Hey Weezna, I found your channel by pure chance and what a fantastic find it has been. Mounting your gear straight onto the wood will give the mounting tabs support that the metal mounting strips doesn't give and will prevent the mounting tab holes being stretched and warped. I'm loving the "floating on air" look as well. It looks like I've got a couple of hours of viewing ahead of me so that i can catch up. A great channel. Sub'd.
What you use the sonic maximizer for
nice man, my condo is my studio and my rack effects are just everywhere no racks at all, looking for a wall mount solution like a 24 unit, maybe even a roller? condos are not optimal for studios, or even gear re than an amp and a few guitars.. really love to have a nice sound studio the size of a condo, nce big jam room, buncha decent sized isolation and vocal rooms, hell bells
Nice work! I build my racks out of wood too! I prefer the look/weight to other materials. However, I will disagree with you on one point I would always use rack rails. While I agree that most modern audio production gear - audio interfaces, headphone amps, patch panels, etc - is pretty light so you can 'get away with' not using rack rails there definitely a limit.
For example if you are using anything with some 'real weight' to it (some of that vintage kit is heavy) or you are switching gear out regularly I would always, always, always use rack rails. For one thing it spreads the weight across more than four pieces of fixing hardware, secondly it means you won't damage the wood if you are moving components about/swapping out kit in your setup and thirdly (this may sound weird) the rack rails add strength to the rack's 'carcass' and can guard against warping.
I can't understand someone with that skill going through all that effort putting together and building those racks and not using rack rails?? It's odd. Those holes will get worn out quickly, like maybe you could swap a unit in and out of a spot one time each. Even actual rack rail holes get worn out after a while.
@@_EightySix I couldn't agree more. Rack rail kits aren't crazy expensive and make racks last a lot longer. He's done a beautiful job here with these frames except for not including rails.
Hello I think your videos are awesome. I wanted to ask you about your home theater gear , I have speakers I'd like to connect to my console , is that possable and if so how do I connect them to my console
I also wanted to ask you about your wall plates I have TRS wall plates and XLR wall plates I don't know how to connect the wiring
Great project for all of us who can’t afford to buy racks. It would be nice if you could supply the lengths of each board instead of just the overall dimensions. The top and bottoms obviously are the same rectangular size but how did you determine the slanted boards sizes?
That would be nice, wouldn't it? If he did all the work. He might as well come to your house and build it for you while he's at it! But not before going to Home Depot and buying all of the supplies and lumber too, amirite? OH! The tools too! 🤣🤣🤣
How u mount half rack sized effects?
I'm counting 11 rack units inside of the wheeled racks, is that correct? Where 1 rack unit = 1.75 inches, and 11 rack units equals 19.25 inches... A tad confused, b/c it looks like your depth is a tad short at 19 inches, did you shave off .25 inches? And is that why you are not using the extra space at the top, the 11th Rack unit?
Aside from the pine, sweet! I don't care for pine unless your building a house.
maybe a furhman per cart? or are you going into a larger line conditioner, great stuff BTW
Looks a steep angle for 25°?
Hey bud, you doing ok? Been a while so I wanted to check in!! Hope all is going good.
hello I guess I'll try another question. I was wondering if you have a video on how you build your Studio desk. I take it you must be busy as you didn't respond to any of my quesions. I would really appreciate it if you respond to building your Studio Desk thank you
any plans available ?
Dude nice what are the dementions
How did u screw the top with out it breakin the wood
FAHRENHYTE MUSIC GROUP I predrilled the holes with a drill bit!
Whats up with the vids man? i follow you on ig you have been making big progress i wanna see how it all went down
I don't understand not using rack rails. If you ever listen to Glenn Fricker and get rid of the Klark Teknik EQ; rack rails would make it easier to swap it out for something that doesn't suck.
I am planning on building a rack. I plan on using rack rails. That way if I decide to switch things up it will easier.
This video came out over a year BEFORE Glenn Fricker did that video, I got rid of them anyways. There’s essentially no difference in using or not using rack rails. I don’t like rack rails so I didn’t use them. If you like them, use them! There’s screws for both, you have to take them out and then put them back for both
What is going on. It has been 3 months snce you made another video. Is everything ok?
are you there anymore?or what?
We miss you where are you? ( from eric m)
So this video doesn't explain how to make these -- it explains "how HE made these" -- missing some key information to consider this a tutorial video. Here is the break down of board lengths and quantity you need:
A) QTY 2 - 1x3 cut to 19.31" with 25 degree angles on each end as a parallelogram (angled top boards)
B) QTY 4 - 1x3 cut to 22.5" length (horizontal face and back boards)
C) QTY 2 - 1x3 cut to 10" length (vertical face boards)
D) QTY 2 - 1x2 cut to 23.25" length with one side with 25 degree angle (back vertical boards (he calls them feet)
E) QTY 2 - 1x3 cut to 17.5" (bottom side boards that go front to back to make the rectangular base with 2x B)
F) QTY 2 - 1x2 cut to 18.25" (rest on top of bottom side boards (E) to make it possible to recess the wheels ( I bought 1.5" wheels so didn't end up needing these)
G) QTY 2 - 1x3 cut to 21" (go from side to side between the side panels (E) to make platforms to screw the wheels into)
Took me a day or two to build including the time to pause and go buy different tools that I didn't have to pull it off.
Highly recommend a kreg pocket hole jig to do some of the joins of angled top boards (A boards to B boards) and the faceboards that connect top to bottom (C boards to B boards.
Good luck should you decide to take it on!
You are more of a builder and a sound engineer
Great until you start moving gear around. Better to install metal rails for actual rack part.
Got flagged the last time.Don,t know why.If it was reviewed then they would see my comments meant no harm.But anyway keep up the good work
This is so cool! You’ve inspired me so I’m off to the hardware store to buy wood! 🔨🪚🪵
