You left out the microfreak sitting next to the drum kit, super interested in it, and really considering buying, but would love your take on it.
Is there a review coming in the future?

Fake doors is just a door but you can punch and see right through
As an audio engineer myself that is impressive this studio is built with pure love for music and sound keep it up Andrew you are an inspiration to us producers XD
Agreed
I'm a producer. Thank you for speaking my mind.
@@legendson5567 No problem my fellow audiophile Producers UNITE! XD
was searching for this comment - totally agree
I was just thinking the same thing, Rom! I am in school for digital audio engineering and we just went over studio build-outs. When he started talking about floating floors and the space between walls, and then I saw the cinder block outer walls, I knew right then and there he wasted no expense and built it for pure love of sound. Andrew, you are an absolute inspiration! Thank for all you! ♥
No I'm not jealous,
I'm not jealous at all *:|*

“Once I heard a dog”

Where's the song made out of that dog sample?
It was apparently a magical experience.

"once I heard a dog" -Andrew Huang, 2019
so inspirational
and sampled it to create about 20 different sounds and built a whole symphony out of it.

can you imagine how loud the dog would have to be to be able to hear it.
Ah, the old ("Quote" - Name, Year), nice one.
if somebody deserves this studio, then it's you - keep on doing what you like, we appreciate that we can drop in via youtube
True good to know its not going to waste
and they say money can't buy happiness
Maybe it is true but money can buy Genelec and Genelec brings happines.
Yes, If you don't know what you want to do with your money
If you have money it cant ,
If I don’t it will
Money buys temporary happiness
I couldn’t imagine having a carpet like that and dropping a guitar pick
"Ridiculous" is definitely the best word to describe this studio.
"Jealous" is definitely the word the describe my feelings right now.
"Mad" is the definitely best word to describe Andrew and his music love.
replace "Jealous" with "Envious."
“It’s completely isolated from the outside world.”

Well for a metal band that would be perfect.

“An absolute disaster.”
Me drowning in cables and coffee mugs: “Haha, yeah, what a mess.”
Make a track using every instrument in your studio!
Pleeeaase
Stream it too!
Good idea! Downside: If this means to use every single eurorack module also, the track may have a length of 2 years, 132 days, 7 hours, 15 minutes and 29 seconds - at least.
No lets not
@@greatgradegaming9082 BETTER IDEA: if you have a studio, you INVITE OVER a wide variety of musicians, and FILM / RECORD improvised jams. Saves massive time AND creates massive amounts of GREAT MUSIC. (EX: took german synth pioneers 45 minutes to make a brilliant album, same as many jazzers.... b/c they IMPROVISE. I can make a brilliant album EVERY 45 minutes!) And it's infinitely more FUN and healthier than doing everything yourself in your little dungeon!
.....dang, Andrew is doing well for himself. Building his own custom studio in his backyard, buying things like an Aeron chair amongst all his other gear, and his own custom modular synthesizer.....holy crap. Good for you, Andrew.
"custom modular synthesizer"
2 million + subs means you have disposable income...and then some.
@@shadowgolem9158 not really
I don't know why this fascinates me, but when you said something along the lines of "if I had my absolute way, I'd just work in a white void with just one little piece of gear I needed. I never got the grey, dungeon aesthetic."
Every time i've watched your videos the one thing that stands out is the piercing white. I never understood why people liked that so much. My studio isn't "grey dungeon" but I find it incredibly hard to work with bright lights. Its a pulsating, anxious and distracting feeling when too much light is present. I changed out all my lights to the 5W vintage yellow-y bulbs that give a warm, comfortable feeling. No color noise, just the screen and my thoughts.
My brother on the other-hand is much like yourself. He always has 4 lights on shining incredibly bright with the ultra-white hue. I never understood that, and that makes my head hurt. It just goes to show people's different personalities and personal characteristics and often times reflects in their work.
Great video. This wasn't knocking you, but rather an observation I made that i'm glad you dived a bit deeper into to feed my curiosity.
Same i dont understand the isolated vibe..seems so stressful to me. Most musicians are night creatures so i would want something cozy that compliments the night workflow. Also i dont want to create while feeling isolated.
Rather create in an enviorment that feels connected to the world somehow. Maybe some plants and posters
This whole topic of design of the space in which you create is really fascinating, love to hear other music people's perspectives on it.
I like dim lights too. It’s a relaxed vibe that allows my thoughts to flow freely.
Good point - I’m the same exact way. Bright, white spaces, whether at home or in a bathroom or in a classroom just make me anxious and uneasy. It’s not a space I can comfortably focus in and feel at peace. Warm, dim lights on the other hand set the tone and feel so warm and cozy. It seems like Andrew’s room isn’t too bad though. It seems comfy enough, but a white void would definitely not work for me 😂
I always thought the studio was just a room in his house but I never realized it’s actually just a secret lair
It was a spare room in my house up until I moved here Sept 2018

"I'm Canadian ... ... ... and it's great!" got an actual laugh out loud from me.
Like everyone else, I am wildly jealous of this beautiful studio.
It played that part right as I read this.

Lord forgive me once again my brain has let me down.
Am I a bad person?
@@micahdelic No, you're a good person. Homosexuality is wrong and I don't care what anyone says. Just accepting it isn't going to *make* it OK.

Weston Kenyon Music Well...I have some
bad news for you about the music industry, which you seem to be a part of or want to join...
That was a very heroic entrance.
This is the live-actionversion of a DAW
a RAW (Real Audio Workstation)
The air conditioner, is it completely silent? My studio is HOT and I don't know how to fix it.
Nope I turn it off whenever I record and just deal with it lol
ANDREW HUANG that’s why you’re always sweating
@@andrewhuang why do you have to turn it off when recording?
@@theultimatechampion154 because it would show up on the recording. Multiply that by however many tracks you record and the mix becomes a huge mess of unneeded noises. Doesn't matter if you're recording direct-in or MIDI though
@@theultimatechampion154 are you stupid
Prisoners: "I lost my mind in there staring at just these white walls"
Andrew huang: "Its not bright enough."
Some would call it a home studio.
I call it a studio home.
So many emotions in one video... Jealousy, envy, excitement, amusement, frustration, pleasure, arousal, curiousness, enticement... Then followed with contentment and satisfaction. As much envy and jealousy I have from your DOPE home studio... I'm glad it's owned by someone like you that's deserving and worthy. *Wayne's world* "I'M NOT WORTHY!!!!"
You're a fucking boss Andrew Huang. I'm glad all that impressive gear found a good owner to call home. Your leaps and bounds on a different level. You'll have a seat waiting for you sitting next to Hendrix, Morrison, japlin, cobain, etc at their table. You're a fucking BEAST dude no lie
Your full transparency and link to every piece of gear you use is absolutely priceless. Thanks so much.
Epic jump at the beginning. 🙌🏼

Funny, I always thought once you turn away from the 'white area' that's usually on camera, there's be rainbow sparkles all over the walls. This was surprising, but I love the functionality of it. Thanks for sharing!

It's odd that I have no intentions of making any sort of music and spend half the time wondering what Andrew is talking about but I have loved this channel for ages and enjoy the great and sometimes weird sounds that Andrew makes with all his gadgets and gizmos. Studio looks sweet man and keep up all the great content 👍🤟❤
You win the Most Bizarre But Nice comment on TH-cam of 2019. :-)
love how this man is in interpreter territory talkin about his synths, then he goes over to his lihgts and he's like "idontevenknow what these are" classic Andrew Huang synth nerd. Positive.
A perfect demonstration that a studio is never complete. There's always an upgrade or tweak just around the corner. Always great to see your music vlogs. Keep 'em coming.
Andrew is exactly who I imagine would be wearing Y-3s, love the swag
Andrews style is dope cuz he works y3s into the same fit as silver glitter leggings😂
Swag
He got that drip🥵
Bro, I need to borrow your monitors. I'll give it back next wednesday.
uh I mean, next month. I mean next year. I mean 2025.
Rofl yea im saying dont forgot that SUB And chair..... TEEF
Andrew, you have been that inspiration to keep working on my music career. Your content is great. Thanks for doing all of this!
Wow! What clean beautiful studio. So much effort put in.
Great work.
It was really helpful to hear your perspective about studios never being done! I just so happened to be scheduled to set up a new studio space for myself today, and I was stressing quite a bit about getting everything absolutely perfect. Seeing this and hearing your perspective was so timely.
Also, for anybody considering the class Andrew teaches, I was in his first class and it is incredible!
Andrew over here like Squidward during the time machine episode where he's lost in the nowhere dimension
Thank You Andrew for the tour!
Every video you release is just filled with enthusiasm and passion. Keep being you
Have you spoken about the Acoustic foam panels/ Bass traps etc. in your room before?
They're white too, and took a second for me to notice that ^_^
This is the most legit home studio build I've seen outside of Deadmau5's absolutely insane setup. Amazing.
Love the white everything, though. This studio is incredible!
Absolutely In love with the color theme of your studio
6:23 "It's just.... It's a lot"
We get in Andrew. With that delivery we fully understand that you want to wait with that one. x)
I think I never saw something so aesthetically perfect !
Sweet setup. Your mono synth makes me smile every time I see it!
Beautiful Studio Andrew! That Novation Peak is off the hook! I love its brutal reverb
Every producer's dream! his very own studio , I hope I'll built something like this for myself after I become more professional at my work and will help beginners just like you do for me .
I heard that as "My Huang overdue studio"
Thank you Andrew for being so transparent and awesome. I'm 37 and just now getting into producing. You're a huge inspiration and you so clearly explain what was once a complete mystery - Euroracks. Since I'm so fresh to it, I'm not plonking down any money 'cause it's expensive! I have set a goal to get your system from perfect circuit ( www.perfectcircuit.com/andrew-huang-system.html ) when I learn more about setting up a rack and what goes to what. I look forward to it! Thanks again!
Wow!! Goals and steps to take. I'm seeing them and Andrew is the guide.
Without any songs to mention, this is truly amazing - I love it!
Only these Genelec monitors are costing more than my life. This one and all the previous I've lived 😂✌🏻 Kudos to you, bro. You deserve all the gifts in the world. You're giving free information and this is the best thing a person can do. The ultimate goal for humanity in general, free flow of information for all with no social or racial discriminations ❤
God damn this is so beautiful for so many reasons. Would love to have access to a space like this! You should do a video showing what it sounds like inside and outside the space with all the soundproofing, like set the camera up outside and go inside to play drums really loudly or something.
GOD I LOVE YOU! Keep on doing it Mr. Huang!
awesomeee studio ! earned with hard and smart work, gratz.
I reiterate: Andrew's instrument is the Space Shuttle
I’m impressed...
If I knew anything about music I think I’d be even more impressed
very interesting insight into your setup. Congrats on the evolution.
Looks great. Love seeing good things come to good people. Thanks for all the awesome content 🙂
this is so much cooler than some real time studio's ..
The best part... "for some reason everybody thinks I live in L.A." :'-D
Thank you for sharing. It's inspiring. Andrew can make beautiful music with just a biscuit tin. If I was in his studio, I would be lost and clueless. I love technology and it's really exciting when you see talented people showing how it works. Thanks again. Love your videos. I am glad I found your channel. More power to you. ❤️
I love everything you just said and showed
No matter how amazing or professional the studio may be, I still get anxious staring at all those damn cables
Now I want to see a music video from you in an empty white room with just one piece of music equipment.
Epic studio! All the way down to the construction. Love it.
Studio goals!
When i'm watching Andrew Huang, i take out my earphones and put on my Astros because i need to enjoy every piece of the video
The all white "empty canvas" theme is actually pretty genius.
Nothing like A Cemented Garage ... Everytime you Walk in you escape the world and Can Fly anywhere ... when you open the door ... 🚪 back to reality .. love it
Thanks for sharing very beautiful studio. That synthesizer is absolutely unbelievable.

Hey Yo from the West Coast! Great videos and your studio is amazing!
Cannot Wait For The Video on That SYNTH!!!!
When someone has this insane of a studio and STILL tells you that you can make music everywhere and with everything, you know it's true
Well, watch Virtual Riot and Au5 videos... I really do think they are more proficient in production than Andrew, Red Means Recording is more gifted at hardware synths usage, and Andrew is just a better blogger.
“It’s like a relationship, it never finishes” unlike my parent tho, just last week
Oof
I’m sorry to hear that.
Awesome! I'm in the midst (1 year plus) of making my own home studio. I feel like I'm almost finished... but who knows, maybe I never will be after watching this. I finally got the kit set up, and had done a similar thing as you with a snake thru the wall to my rack- just got all that plugged in, so it's getting exciting! Love the channel- all the content is great!
Love when you point out you're based in Toronto!
Is no one else wondering how he did that intro...Like where did he even come from...
he just jumped really high because hes amazing then cut the jump out, the sound effect really helped make it feel like he just fell from the sky tho
Pretty sure he dropped down from his raised up drum area, didn't he?
@@JONxxxINSANITY Correct, he entered the frame completely from the top, so he must have jumped from a higher point behind the camera. Landing on your feet backwards, that's the hard part.
Wide-angle lens distortion makes it look like he jumped from a lot higher than he actually did. He just jumped off his drum riser from behind the camera.
He climbed up to the roof and then jumped down from the skylight he showed in the video. How else would the camera shake like that? Duh
I wanna know how much his electricity bill is
Like ¥12
love the style, simplistic and complex in one ;)
Great looking studio Andrew!
The genelec monitors remind me of the turrets from portal
me who only records songs in my cabinet:
