My Minimalist Home Studio Setup For Mixing

Acoustic treatment, expensive studio monitors, subwoofer, outboard gear, and even pricey third-party plugins are all UNECESSARY.

That's right, you don't need any of that stuff.

Trust me, I practice what I preach.

​Join me for a full tour of my minimalist home studio.

It’s incredible that you’re able to get musicians in to record in that setup. It just goes to show - the ability to manage projects and lead people is way more important than gear or even skills. Granted, skills are needed to manage projects

Man! You have changed! All for good, you have teach me everything about music bobby! Thanks for all your effort

[marianoperez]

Man... I love simplicity. And, Bobby, of all the mixing channels I'm suscribed, this is the only one that really helped me understand mixing... You make it simple, to the point and being honest. I salute you very respectfully, my friend! And a big thank you, allways! 🤘🤘

[AlanDS]

That Goosebumps series was soo good! And that room looks very comfortable as well

[maxfreniere]

Once more, you prove that gear is not important, sharpening your skills and embracing the system you're using is the key. Nice one Bobby 🤟

[maxwayninger]

What the hell I can‘t believe that‘s the monitors you mix on. This is fucking awesome dude, your channel really helps to deconstruct my believes about audio production.

[guitarsgearandgoodvibeswit]

As a huge horror fan and musician I appreciate your videos a lot. Majority of my music is influence by 70s and 80s Italian horror and giallo.
Keep making great videos.

Scary stories to tell in the dark is God tier. Especially the art

[AJoylessEon]

Hey bobby, i noticed you use the ezdrummer metal machine drum library.. have you ever used mixwaves jay weinberg drum library? I think it slays any ezx drum library. That's just my opinion. Should try it dude.. it has both mixed and unmixed options if you want a more hands on approach.

[correametal]

Excellent video like always Bobby. You have an amazing home studio, and you get the awesome results that you want. In the end that is the whole point.

I’m not a guitarist but I would love to start adding guitars to my productions.

Any suggested guitar libraries? And maybe a programming tutorial?

Ideally I would hire someone to play the parts I write before release, but I would like the samples to be as good as possible just incase budget doesn’t allow that.

Hi BOBBY QUICK QUESTION YOUR KICK SNARE BASS ARE OBVIOUSLY IN MONO DO SEND THEM TO MONO AUXES FOR TREATMENT THEN ON TO THE STEREO DRUM BUSS HOPE THATS OK TO ASK MANY THANKS

[Francotempesta]

Such a lovely creative space you got there! If you ever upload those VHS rips somewhere please let me know. I'm constantly looking for that stuff to play on my retro TV 🎃📺

[CryptToneMusic]

Horror media is a big influence on me too, all my music is horror based. Mainly from games like Doom, Blood, Quake, Wolfenstein, Dusk, etc rather than movies although i have started to slowly get into the old movies haha

[bobbyjones]

Damn, you’re very serious and you really know your stuff I’m impressed! Wish there was somebody with that talent when I was in my 20s. Wouldn’t hurt to have modern equipment too. I was just born too damn early…lol

[samiflix]

You made me feel i'm on the right track 😁

[captain_green]

Damn your cable management is impressive

[alexbaumy]

Great vid, take a close look at your electricity. Sounds like a electrical phasing issue causing noise floor...

[serge]

I agree, 100%, good studio, good content.

[shardzkaylar]

And everything works out great until you start rubbing that Lamentation Configuration. That will put some spice in your weekends! Thanks for the tour, I love to see rigs and spaces that are efficient and effective.
