Just like you, your desk is top notch! Cool, neat, minimal, just what you need, and well thought out. It was a fun video to watch. Thank you, Sanjay C.
Love this style of vid!! Have you thought about doing a what’s on my computer type video? Maybe show off your plugin collection and which ones you use most etc
Im a new follower, lifelong creative, and cannot thank you enough how helpful your content has been. Haven’t made music long time (years). My whole life I’ve always been an artist and I’ve always thrived off of creating. Recently, I guess I had a quarter life crisis and bought every toy in guitar center I wanted. I thought I was depressed but turned out I just needed to make music the whole fucking time lol. Cheers! You’re awesome
I absolutely loved this video and i am so happy you will be doing these videos when your desk changes now and then thank you so much Sanjay C, love your content
@@SanjayC yes absolutely Sanjay C thx so much, your content helps me so much with music production and recommending us a lot of awesome gear thank you Sonjay C
Man how extremely helpful was this video! Especially the TS3Plus . That’s exactly what I needed In order to run multiple midi devices without unplugging and plugging in all the time on my Mac.
Hello Mr Sanjay C , its been a while since I've watched your videos . Currently I'm going to get my MicroFreak soon . Also I'm learning Saxophone for solo instrument sections of my tunes. Thank You for your content. Helps me most of the time :D
Oh man! I can’t wait to see your review on the Neuman NDH30s! I’m trying to decide between those and the Beyerdynamic DT1990. I know your opinion will help a lot😊
The fact that you have everything now makes music designing much flexible #SanjayC imagine when you first started off and look at where are now😭 I look up to someone like you😁
If a mic is dynamic, that just means it doesn't require electricity to work, as opposed to a condenser mic which may need a battery or "phantom power", and has nothing to do with the pickup pattern. Pickup patterns may be "omnidirectional" or "directional" (cardioid, hyper-cardioid) or a "figure 8."
Very, very, very interestingly presented. And such good gear. Best quality gear. Would like to have so many of these, so for example this hardware compressor and the way the audio signal goes to it and causes magic. And finally this incredible cute doggy. What a nice video by Sanjay C again. It could have lasted twice as long and would still have been very interesting. 👍🏻👏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Always inspiring with home studio presentations. Hmm... interesting with the three sound cards! I have the old Apollo 8 and then I use my Apollo Twin as a travelling studio sound card. Instead of two Apollo 8 I use an Adat witch gives me the extra inputs for my synths. I have Fantom 8 under my table and on my side a one size smaller Native keyboard. On my table I also have like you a sequential synth without keyboard, mine is a Prophet 10. Happy weekend Sanjay C!
I am so glad I stumbled onto your site and became a Subscriber. I'm a bit older, and have some music experience. Used to play live a great deal, owned (a long time ago) a lot of Roland equipment. Then, because of personal reasons / family reasons I had to let it go.... (sigh) I wish to step back in, and am searching for a larger keyboard with a nice feel to the keys with which I can just simply play and record GarageBand in my Mac. I would, sincerely, appreciate any suggestions. My days of live-playing are behind me. Just hoping you can recommend a larger keyboard that is otherwise quite simple for controlling GarageBand, with which the keys feel fairly like a real piano. - I've played quite a few pianos in my day. Some were like an orchestra beneath my fingers. Some had only the black keys working and I still played music for hours. Those were the days.....
Great looking set up you have there Sanjay, but I think your music would still be great on lower budget options because it's the artist not to tools who make the music.
love the setup and the way U explain everything as well as the connection U share with Ur Wife :) btw i always appreciated Apollos and Apollo Twin X Heritage Edition is really great - would be fab to get a chance to work with it :)
idea for the scroll wheel; program it so that you can zoom in and out of your DAW projects or for navigating across the timeline. Hope that gives you some inspiration for the scroll wheel Sanjay.
Ugh, but the compressor tho! Would love to try one out! I’m running my bae through a comp 3A right now and getting great results, but I’ve heard the CL 1B is truly special.
7:43 Not just for Mac though! If you've got Thunderbolt 3 on your computer, you can use this! ... And my new PC will have at least one Thunderbolt 3 port.
I’m rooting for you to get that N-spresso sponsorship!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾☕️☕️☕️ By the way: have you ever shown how you use/route Maschine into Ableton? I’d love to see that 🙌🏾
Lovely studio Sanjay.. I have been always admiring your work and your knowledge of latest gear. question for your though. Is all your gear connected to you mac right away ? or do you keep connecting and disconnecting the gear when you use them. Request : Please do make a video how to connect all the gear to you computer and have it ready for use all the time.
Thank you! Everything is connected to my Mac by USB hub or that CalDigit dock I showed. Of course I have other gear that I connect every now and then like synths. Those aren't always connected.
Great video as always! I’m super interested in that modular controller that you have above your mouse and keyboard. I’ve seen it in previous videos and I’m glad I can finally get my hands on one! 😁
Fun video, Sanjay. What about your large background TV/Monitor? I am also interested in your acoustic wall treatments and how you light them. I have large Psy Acoustics panels that I love which combine the acoustics function into a beautiful work of art.
Hey buddy. The Barefoots are awesome. But I need to compare them to some other high end speakers before I review them. I just wish they had on board eq controls.
Hey, Question. I have my controller keyboard in a drawer, like you - but when it’s out, it’s a reach for my keyboard/track pad. I’d prefer to have my keyboard up on the desk, but there just isn’t enough room and yet, the reach to/from the keyboard is a pain. My midi controller is a Novation LaunchKey MK3 and I’ve programmed extra functions into the knobs, buttons, faders and pads, just to avoid reaching for the keyboard / track pad. The idea is that when the keyboard drawer is out, I try to minimize reaching and do everything from the midi controller.
Yeah, this is a problem I have sometimes too. I use the NI S88 keyboard so there's space to place my trackpad on it if I need to. I don't think you have that space on the Novation though
I'm presently using the Audient ID14 mkii Audio interface. It has great preamps that I love. I'm not a fan of analogue gears because I believe their time is gone and there are great plugins that can do the job rather than waste money on analogue gears. Great engineers are now mixing totally in the box and mastering using plugins. So I'm looking for a 2 channel interface that has the balance of great mic preamp and prestine mastering grade D/A and A/D converters. Do you think I will get any additional benefit upgrading to a Prism Lyra 2 Audio interface as against using the Audient ID14 mki
Having trouble integrating the Oxygen Pro Mini directly with Ableton Live, any chance you can create a video detailing how to do so? Thanks so much, love your content!
Yes, a general explanation would be nice. The default config for Oxygen Pro Mini is stored at "Resources / MIDI Remote Scripts", and I assume that doesn't fit for you. If you want a custom config on every new project, you have to write a special "MIDI Remote Script" for your controller.
Always love these studio based videos, so cool to see what other people are working on/with!
Hi Cameron! You know...I love these types of videos too. I can watch them over and over! lol!
I dig this types of videos a lot, like talking to camera, minimal editing, raw. I feel like i'm a friend and ur showing stuffs to me
Glad you like it
Just like you, your desk is top notch! Cool, neat, minimal, just what you need, and well thought out. It was a fun video to watch. Thank you, Sanjay C.
Thanks so much 🙏🏼
Love this style of vid!! Have you thought about doing a what’s on my computer type video? Maybe show off your plugin collection and which ones you use most etc
My plugin collection? That would be a 3-hour feature film! Haha! But seriously…that’s a good idea.
@@SanjayC haha that’s true although I wouldn’t mind a 3 hr long Sanjay C video lol
Love it that you included DOG + Link in the descriptions!!! hahaha!
LOL!
Wonderful space. I'd love to hear more about your monitors and acoustic treatment!
Coming in a future video for sure
your wife hyping you up is so cute. reminds me of my lady aha. your reactions are the same as mine.
Haha!!! Yes, she's my hype gal!
The thing I appreciate the most is you keep shoes off the house
For sure!! Its such an easy thing to do. I appreciate people who do it as well.

The setup is crazy, really does create condusive atmosphere both for the producer and artist🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏽🙌🏽
Sanjay you are really an inspirig and authentic person 🙏
I really appreciate that, Naldone
I absolutely loved this video and i am so happy you will be doing these videos when your desk changes now and then thank you so much Sanjay C, love your content
Thanks so much, Simona! So glad you're enjoying the content I make!
thx Sanjay

Man how extremely helpful was this video! Especially the TS3Plus . That’s exactly what I needed In order to run multiple midi devices without unplugging and plugging in all the time on my Mac.
Yes, I always recommend the TS3...I've had it forever and its still runs everything so well
The last two videos you've made are just top notch! I'm feeling a lot more energy coming.
Hey thanks so much, Caleb!
@@SanjayC im really enjoying them, thank you for makeing them!
Blessings 2 You Both x
♥️💕
now do the rest of the room next :)
Absolutely!!
The best studio desktop setup ever 💜❤💛
thanks!
The coffee expresso psa was perfect. Integral part of any studio desk set up!! 👊🤣👍
You got that right!
This is an amazing studio! Always love studio tour :D
Thanks so much!
Hello Mr Sanjay C , its been a while since I've watched your videos . Currently I'm going to get my MicroFreak soon . Also I'm learning Saxophone for solo instrument sections of my tunes. Thank You for your content. Helps me most of the time :D
Hey Siddharth. Nice to hear you are creating a nice and useful collection.
Thank you. I appreciate your tutorial.
Oh man! I can’t wait to see your review on the Neuman NDH30s! I’m trying to decide between those and the Beyerdynamic DT1990. I know your opinion will help a lot😊
That's so cool when I grow my studio it's gonna be super like yours
Beautiful setup Sanjay
Thanks, Sukhi!
The fact that you have everything now makes music designing much flexible #SanjayC imagine when you first started off and look at where are now😭
I look up to someone like you😁
So true....I watch some old videos and I can't believe how things have progressed! Crazy!
💜 to ya both. Dream studio.
Sanjay, I see you throwing shade on your Jamstick plus over there on the guitar stand!
Good to see Mr. Sanjay👍
Thanks!
using the twin just for the volume knob is wild to me haha. awesome set up
Thanks for the awesome studio tour.🎙
You're welcome! :-D What was most interesting to you?
@@SanjayC The 34 inch Dell monitor.😊
You’re a great man, when am done learning everything, I will like you to recommend a list of gears and instruments for me please Boss 🙏🙏🙏
yeh the second specs suit you way more knocks years off
Awesome!!! I saw 👀 the Avalon 737 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Wow…good eyes! Yeah that’s a classic unit, but I really prefer the 1073 and Tube Tech on my vocals.
Was waiting for this for long
Oh man..wait till you see the full studio tour...coming soon.

I remember watching the video about the desk that you made, great road trip movie. Its absolutely gorgeous and that modular controller 🤟🏾 😍
Hey Clive. Yeah that was a fun video to make.
@@SanjayC That was a road trip movie .
Really impressive studio 😍. But without that thermos nothing will work, it's the heart of the studio 😁.
Rode AI-Micro
Compact Audio Interface is good as like scarlett 2i2.
Love this tour! So personal and insightful 👍
Thanks so much!
Wow... ❤️
Hi Sam! What do you think?
@@SanjayC love it bro ❤️
This has to be the perfect studio set up and equipment for my taste. I have the same monitor as you which is cool.
Great taste! The monitor is so good. Solved my blurry Ableton problem.
i'd say the big wheel controller has a few uses off the top: Drawing in automation, or transport controls perhaps.
That thermos and coaster are quite valuable I can say as someone accident prone >.>
Yeah, I don't want to risk spilling drinks on the desk...the thermos is the answer
Very, very, very interestingly presented. And such good gear. Best quality gear. Would like to have so many of these, so for example this hardware compressor and the way the audio signal goes to it and causes magic. And finally this incredible cute doggy. What a nice video by Sanjay C again. It could have lasted twice as long and would still have been very interesting.
👍🏻👏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Hi GAD!! The doggy is the best part of my studio for sure. I'll do a much longer one with a full studio tour soon.
@@SanjayC I‘m looking forward to that very much!
He took the sword, and then a cut to the dog. That was heavy. 😄
I like such videos!
Hi Leland...me too! Anything interesting you saw on my desk?
@@SanjayC Of course, I think the S88, keyboard and headphones are very cool!
Please we wait for review of new Neumann studio headphones... thank you.
NOTIFICATION SQUAD! I really love your studio videos, its really cool to see what goes on behind your tracks
Thanks! Glad you like these types of vids. I'll make more
@@SanjayC thanks man. Keep up the good work
Hello sanjay!
Hi Aditya...how are you?
It's okay. Instead of getting the Optimus Prime for you, I'll just use that money towards getting the giant AT-AT for myself...
😂😂😂😂 You welcome then! I save you money for that!
Always inspiring with home studio presentations. Hmm... interesting with the three sound cards! I have the old Apollo 8 and then I use my Apollo Twin as a travelling studio sound card. Instead of two Apollo 8 I use an Adat witch gives me the extra inputs for my synths. I have Fantom 8 under my table and on my side a one size smaller Native keyboard. On my table I also have like you a sequential synth without keyboard, mine is a Prophet 10.
Happy weekend Sanjay C!
I used to use ADAT connected to an Arturia 8Pre. Nice setup, Debranz!
the boots on the optimus prime almost as big as Kanye’s boots

Great looking set up you have there Sanjay, but I think your music would still be great on lower budget options because it's the artist not to tools who make the music.
That's why I made this video th-cam.com/video/k1-sS5P0SCo/w-d-xo.html
The hype lady is the best

That's a nice idea!!! woohoo! I'm gonna do it!
How about a video on budget laptop for 2022 ?
Lot of new machine are out since you made ur last video
Bro put the vedio on akai audio interface...
Ugh, but the compressor tho! Would love to try one out! I’m running my bae through a comp 3A right now and getting great results, but I’ve heard the CL 1B is truly special.
3A should be nice...the CL 1B is much more transparent
7:43 Not just for Mac though! If you've got Thunderbolt 3 on your computer, you can use this!

Yes...absolutely!
Nice!

By the way: have you ever shown how you use/route Maschine into Ableton? I’d love to see that 🙌🏾
Haha @ Nespresso. I just run Maschine as a plugin in Ableton. No cleaner way to do it
Alright you sold me on the monogram lol

@@SanjayC thank you for your response... Realy admire your work..
please do in depth review of that Neumann NDH 30. not enough reviews out at the moment. Thank you much appreciated
True 👍🏼
that modular controller is super cool
out of curiosity, why do you use a trackpad over a mouse?
One reason: it’s silent. When I make videos especially at the desk, I don’t want the mic to pick up mouse clicking sounds. :-)
Nice video. I would have like if you add information about your room lighting accessories such as those behind your desk. 🙂
That will come in a future video.
Great video as always! I’m super interested in that modular controller that you have above your mouse and keyboard. I’ve seen it in previous videos and I’m glad I can finally get my hands on one! 😁
Yeah, its expensive but totally worth it for convenience and speed
Fun video, Sanjay. What about your large background TV/Monitor? I am also interested in your acoustic wall treatments and how you light them. I have large Psy Acoustics panels that I love which combine the acoustics function into a beautiful work of art.
Hi Pat. The large TV in the back is the Samsung Frame. Love it!!! I'm going to talk about the treatment in an upcoming video. Almost there!
Awesome stuff, just the necessities on the desk. We need a review on the barefoot speakers 🔊 sometime.. 👍🏻
Hey buddy. The Barefoots are awesome. But I need to compare them to some other high end speakers before I review them. I just wish they had on board eq controls.
only complain is the keyboard but great products
Fun video! What about the camera? What do you to record your videos?
really wierd to watch a casual/unscripted handcam sanjay C video :P
Hey we need a break from the norm every once in a while. And I need to use the word "beautiful' 100 times more!!!

Me: midi controller, drum pads, guitars,bass, speakers, monitor
Sanjay:"espresso thermos flask 😃"
Me:"👍
Hey Sanjay! Great video as usual. I’m in the process of upgrading. Which desk are you using?
Hi @sanjay . You forgot to add the studio monitors you have in your setup. Please can you share link to them as well. Love your videos!
Hey...yeah...they're not really on the desk so easy to forget. They are the Barefoot Footprint 01. Expensive but I really love them.
@@SanjayC Thank you Sanjay!
The Roli seabord under the desk? 😁
Hey great vid! Do you currently have only one song released? Was just making sure im not missing out on your music.
Thanks for checking. I don't put a lot of stuff on Spotify...I just tried that one. Most of my music is right here in my videos.
So if I'm only using synths then I guess an audio interface instead of a mixer (with audio interface) is the best thing to buy?
You gotta tell us which monitors are those man, look awesome
Barefoot Footprint 01...solid...badass!
I'm presently using the Audient ID14 mkii Audio interface. It has great preamps that I love.

the cat🤣
I Will keep making Music i love…🇩🇰
Best thing I've heard today!! :-D
Can the transport controls be programmed into the monogram controller for Ableton ?
What’s the jog dial behind keyboard?
Super 👌
Thanks!
A rookie question: What are you using three different audio interfaces for? And does a DAW even support having multiple ones connected for recording?
Wish the camera work was better in this video
Where can I buy those monitors because I cannot find them on the internet
That sad and omitted guitar is crying alone to the right of the desk though xD
Give her a hug from me, please Sanjay
LOLOL! I need to cover the rest of the stuff that's off the desk next!
Good co-host
Having trouble integrating the Oxygen Pro Mini directly with Ableton Live, any chance you can create a video detailing how to do so? Thanks so much, love your content!
Yes, a general explanation would be nice. The default config for Oxygen Pro Mini is stored at "Resources / MIDI Remote Scripts", and I assume that doesn't fit for you. If you want a custom config on every new project, you have to write a special "MIDI Remote Script" for your controller.
Next would like to see all your keyboards/instruments tour..
Oh man...wait until you see that one!
How many audio interfaces do you realistically use everyday for your recordings? Great gear and setup!
