Hey! Looks great! Hit us up via the website, maybe we can figure out how to work on it! Thanks so much for the shout out and for watching!!! -Bob

[Martin-qvhg]

Totally recommend Synology for NAS, since you asked. I got one for archive purposes and within a year, it's wormed its way into my workflows so much I couldn't continue without it. It's been utterly rock-solid, sits down in the basement so zero noise. It is The Thing.

[jerrymckenzie]

Because you asked for suggestions: I would recommend building a cloud over your mix position, and some additional diffusion or absorption on that big ceiling! Glad that the studio is coming together!

[timothyvaughn]

Linus from LTT used to colab all the time with lots of people to help set up NAS stuff. Could be a cool colab that people wouldnt expect

[castleanthrax]

How fortunate are we today, to get interesting stuff like this to watch, that is also informative and educational atst. Thank you Rhett.

[sarthwahb]

I’m having pretty positive vibes regarding your live room and dream studio, I know you’ve done a lot work, experienced manny problems and stuff but finally I can see it being complete

[carverac]

Thanks Rhett, super interesting and thorough! Looking forward to the studio update with the same stuff!

[AndrewMasters]

I've been waiting for this video like you wouldn't believe. Great video Rhett.

[markhoskins]

To be fair, the design of the amp rack is pretty simple. All anybody would need to know is;
- The overall height, width and depth
- The thickness of the timber used
- The width timber shelf.
- The height of a timber side section.
- The width and thickness of a metal brace.

Love the videos buddy. Keep them coming!

[agriff]

Great video! I have been around music and music gear all my life, hardly seems like 62 years, it went by pretty quickly! I'm glad to see that all the old gear is still being used today, like patch bays, mic pre's, tube powered compressors, tube amps, etc... Good luck with the new studio build, I'm looking forward to seeing it completed, up and running.

[oishikplays]

Rhett, congratulations on your continued success! watching you grow has been really inspiring and the consistent hard work you've been putting in deserves all the success you have gotten! I'm not a professional musician, but as a hobbyist I love watching you because unlike some other creators, you always have a strong budget in mind, so your judgement of gear value is something I have come to really appreciate! Here's to another decade of success! Good luck!

[JustinTutor]

Your channel has been a pretty huge inspiration for a lot of the work I do on my own channel, so thanks for that and for the in-depth look behind the scenes today!

[JensLarsen]

Great Studio tour, especially all the nerdy YT stuff! Love my Sennheiser MKH50. Best piece of gear I bought in the last few years!

[PaulIsbell]

Thank you for making this video, Rhett. Seeing other setups really help rationalize what gear is truly important and helps me limit myself to create even better music.

[VintageParkingTV]

I can't believe this is free content. Thank you for putting this together Rhett, you're a unique voice in this world of guitar. Excited for what will come out of this space for you (and us!)

[grooveduststudio]

congrats on the progress looking forward to see it all come together

[mikerinehart]

Good on ya Rhett. I find re-wiring so cathartic.

[Sgrapejj]

Thanks for the breakdown of your studio. I'm always learning something new from your videos.

[coryburns]

Thank you for this! I’ve been a guitar player for years but I’m just starting to get into the home studio world and I’m in so far over my head I don’t know whether scratch my watch or wind my ass sometimes…this was so informative! Much appreciated!!!

[mgscheue]

The new M2 Mac minis are great, too. I just got an M2 Pro mini and it's ridiculously powerful. And definitely yes about the T7 drives.
