You’re right Robert, the detached studio set up is the absolute ideal scenario. I take a very short walk to mine and when I open the door I feel like I’ve arrived with some purpose. I then proceed to noodle for about an hour, play darts and watch TH-cam videos. After that I convince myself that my pedalboard needs a bit of a re-jig and proceed to A/B overdrive pedals for the next 4 hours. I haven’t written that hit song yet but it’s coming, I tell you!
Put a lock on the door to your home studio so that it feels like you're unlocking a separate space when you go to use it. It plays with your mind as it's not as easy as just opening the door and might feel like you are somewhere else.
1. get a small container and fixture your studio in there - then you can ship it wherever you want it, take it on vacation, whatever. I keep trying to convince my wife to do this so I can just take it camping on a dolly - nothing more fun than flattening some trees where there is no noise ordinance. 2. don't have a studio at all - multi-room studios use for lack of my knowledge of better term "music network", so just set that up at home with end points either being portable or in places/rooms you find yourself playing. You can turn it on and capture if you want but it's probably ultimately even less expensive and more robust than putting together a studio "All in One" place.
Your reasons for pulling up stakes and making the pilgrimmage to Gnashville are perfectly valid because they're yours. Best of luck and I pray for your success and happiness on this new adventure. Rock on!
A sheet of plexiglass with some removable feet stores easily and solves some issues for the few minutes you might need it sometimes. There are local companies here (probably everywhere) that build isolation rooms/chambers for not much more than getting cases built; had to get a few decoupled rooms into a pretty small lab on one job where people could still go in and out of them while getting everything else done there too. Same job, I had to take some "phone booth" conference rooms (one person tiny rooms with one side being basically a glass door) and get them isolated without taking up space/spending money for some functional product testing (it had a mic and we were running test loops) we were doing and honestly it ended up being mostly a roll of this heavy vinyl like stuff that honestly *blocks* sound extremely well. Investing in a couple pieces of plywood with some of this material glued to to it might be helpful to kind of break up any multipath issues, same deal with the removable feet of course; I guess it's becoming evident I like portable, modular, reconfigurable solutions that I can take with me relatively non-destructively if I move spaces. It's a nice setup that's dialed in pretty well, good job.
Robert, I have the same two set of monitors and also the Focusrite 18i20 interface so cool, that Strat is just amazing as well as a really good collection of guitars and gear and cool video's and yes the lamps are the real deal a must have staple!!!
Best might be a separate garage with a living space above it, so you still have a back yard area and don’t have to worry about local building codes getting in the way.
You make really beautiful music. I bought a set of lessons from you..I guess I need to get started on those. I'm in the middle of setting up a new room in the back of my house. I moved here a couple of years ago..It's an arduous process. I don't have any help, so it takes me a long time to get anything done. I've been playing for 50 plus years, but I figure it never hurts to take some lessons anyway. Thanks! Enjoy Nashville..I lived there, bck in the early 1980's. it was metal heads back then..lol!
Gear schmear! The opening composition was REALLY strong. Do a video about THAT process! (choices made - harmonically, arrangement, instrument choices yadda). Nice werk!
I like the new studio. well new and yet the same. I am just finishing paint and floors on my home so rn trying to decide to purchase a new home or stay here to set up my studio again. its been a long, costly and stressful process but I am hoping for the best. Great video as usual I love your channel . All the best- Leigh
I also have a Super Reverb ToneMaster amongst other amps. Phenomenal amp honestly, and I've always been all tube kinda guy. Fender is nailing that modeling tech. Thanks for sharing Robert!
Robert, you're in God's country, now. I loved seeing you with "Uncle Larry" Bukovak. What a player he is. TASTY and TASTEFUL. He seeks to play what the song NEEDS. He understands songs and the song. Everywhere you go to the east, it just gets better. I am Tn also, but to the west. Mostly good, but the farther west, the more careful you must be as you approach America's first and most important highway, the Mississippi. Just dip down into the hill country on your way, THE home of the COUNTRY BLUES. After a Guild and GIbson, I got a new D-18----couldn't spring for the D-28, I still have the hang tag. I was in Nashvegas getting warranty work dont on it exaclty then Johnny Cash passed away (RIP)
new studio looks great and I hope you are enjoying Nashville. Lots of live music and guitar shops. Take the wife and son to he Frothy Monkey. There is a bakery around the corner and another cookie shop.
Yo Robert! Homie it’s looking awesome! It has a really nice laid back feel & at the same time makes you wanna rock faces off! That opening was so smooth! That blend of the vintage duo guitars was a perfect blend of tones!
Looks nice! Just a thought, as an engineer I’d recommend getting rid of the Scarlett and upgrading your interface. Conversion and clocking are so important. A UA Apollo would be a big step up, or anything Apogee. My 2c.
Congrats on the new studio/home. I’m sure you’ll be in your own place soon. Nice collection of guitars. Out of all of them, there is only one I would still like to have. The EVH Frankie. I don’t think any guitarist’s collection is complete without one.
Beautiful and inspiring new work space. I assume you moved closer to work opportunities? I wish you nothing but the best and keep the great content coming.
Sorry you left Ohio. I live in Delaware, Ohio but i think your more where the action is living there in assuming. 🙂👍 Glad you got a nice space to create Tunes in.👊😁
Congrats on the new studio setup! Since you're renting, are you looking to buy a home in/around Nashville, or are you 'trying out' Nashville and perhaps may move to another city? I have a pretty small home 'studio' (really just a home office) and I am so looking forward to having more space with our next move!
Nashville? Whaaaaat? You’re a lot closer to me now 😝 I’m in Crossville. We’ll have to hang out some time and maybe collab on some vids! BTW, would love to see some Helix vids from you-welcome to the Helix family!
My all time favorite guitar - worn out frets and all - is my Yairi. I have a HD28 as well. I am convinced the Martin hates me. Neck warped at the body so no low action ever. Luthier told me this is common for Martin. Check yours.
Hey there Robert, like the new studio ! You have several very nice guitars, in the past you had 2 or 3 telecaster (not all Fender) but other than the 2 Les Pauls you have the K.M. and the p-90 gold top would you purchase another L.P. for any reason different pick ups, sought after year (like the 58-60) les pauls, or are you satisfied with the 2 you have and don't need another L.P. just curious your thoughts on owning several guitars of certain make and models. Love the channel keep up the great work. E.L.
Nice jam room! I heard you mentioned the birth year Les Paul. I'm wanting to get a birth year at some point as well. Any suggestions for a sweet ax made in 1980?

His wife: “Where are you going?”
Him: “Oh just next door”
What?
Yes that's how I use my closets!!

Proud of you brother!! You did it!! Congratulations!!! May you make many many hours worth of music here. 🤘🎸🤘
Glad to see you up and running. Nice set up love your channnel Robert.
Thanks Ed
Great stuff, man. There's nothing worse that moving, but nothing better than finishing the setup. Well done, it looks great.
Congrats man, well deserved. Videos like this give me a ton of motivation to keep growing my channel.

What! No Gretsch! Great studio and love your collection. Let the inspirations begin!
Soon :)
Last time i watched you you had just got a place just for your business. Now you are in a new space
Love your enthusiasm. Great vid btw nice and laid back. Blessings to you and your family on this new adventure!
Welcome to Tennessee!
I won't lie... ya lost me when that coffee cup was not perfectly placed on the coaster! 😂😂😂
Cool thanks for the invite to your new studio❤
It may take a while to get the perfect setup, but you have a good idea of what you want. Stay focussed on that. Love your videos Robert.
Welcome to Nashville, Robert.
Best might be a separate garage with a living space above it, so you still have a back yard area and don’t have to worry about local building codes getting in the way.
I may be a total metalhead shredder guy but man i love a g/b bender, I'd love to see that on your tele! Amazing guitar collection dude!
Loved the "hang out" vibes
From a fellow string bender and breaker, welcome to Tennessee!

Looks great Robert. Specialised mancave. One day (hopefully within the next year) I will have my own!

That Gibson fits you the most 👍🏼 hope you keep playing it in videos, would love to see more of it

Thanks for sharing Robert!
Now I reaalllyyy want a dedicated tele vid. Tele is my main 🎸

It’s a real, 63 fender, sweet!
Fabulous!
I love that intro music!
Man awesome setup. When you do get a house you buy one of those modular cabins that are prefabricated and just dropped in your yard.
Home studios or just jam rooms are great as long others dont decide to throw whatever they dont know or wanna deal with
new studio looks great and I hope you are enjoying Nashville. Lots of live music and guitar shops. Take the wife and son to he Frothy Monkey. There is a bakery around the corner and another cookie shop.

Nice Martin. My acoustic (just played it this morning at church) is a Taylor 214ce-k.
Love the VW microbus 🤘🤙✌️✴️
Beautiful and inspiring new work space. I assume you moved closer to work opportunities? I wish you nothing but the best and keep the great content coming.
Love the coffee cup!
The 3.5 update in helix is big cab improvement. Cab cuts in helix is a must! 125 hi cut and 5k low cuts in cabs is a must!
Very nice. Now you need one of those Jackson Robin Crosby Firebirds.
Cool vid bro……
Keep ‘em coming…….
Sorry you left Ohio. I live in Delaware, Ohio but i think your more where the action is living there in assuming. 🙂👍
Glad you got a nice space to create Tunes in.👊😁
Bro, I know Milo. We used to play at church together when we lived in Ohio. Went to metronome all the time!
cool beans!
Welcome to Tennessee.
Congrats my dude, I love the Billy Gibbons ZZ Top vids, could you do a full lesson on she’s a heartbreaker off the tejas album
Nice move man !
Thanks homie
Love the pig cup! The tone you get out of the 🐷🤙
Great things I. '63? That includes me . This vid came out on my b-day yesterday

Time to warm up the ole' ADA MP-1 my man. I still have my mp-2 from back in the day.
DUDE, I've got that same coffee cup, Walmart!! Hope you are enjoying Nashville, Mansfield misses you!!
HA YES it's the perfect size cup!
Awesome 👌👍
Cool video! I'm just in the process of finishing mine since I've moved. Quick question though. How in these days can you afford all this amazing gear?
I bought the km from Gruhn. Really enjoying it.
Dude that’s awesome!
Hey there Robert, like the new studio !

I thought the "Shecter" was a "LTD Mirage Deluxe"..... I had one in "Rainbow Crackle" about 18mths ago. I miss my "Pimp Mobielle"" ever so dearly😫😥🤣❤🎸
Where did you get the air filter lamp!! Freaking awesome!!
Was waiting for this one. Nice! Oh no, did you sell the Les Paul custom? Am i trippin? Did you have a custom?
I'd take the firebird the telly the les paul and the strat. Nice.
Nice jam room! I heard you mentioned the birth year Les Paul. I'm wanting to get a birth year at some point as well. Any suggestions for a sweet ax made in 1980?
I don't recall you mentioning what drove the decision to move to Nashville
The Road to more songs and creativity is less gear - sell out man!😎
🚬🤠 awesome dude
