Hi! My name is Tom Buck. As a lifelong A/V nerd, I’m here to help you level up the audio and video quality of your streams, podcasts, puns, and videos.

Episode 351: Home Studio Tour for YouTube, Podcasting, & Streaming!

Fun side note- I messed up the audio on most of this video and accidentally recorded with the camera's built in mic, which sounded awful (especially since I was behind the camera most of the time). I used Adobe's "Speech Enhance" thing for the first time and it really saved the day! If anything, the audio sounds too good now 😬

[ferdycom]

Tom, you are the man! I've learned quite a few things from you in the latest years! Thank you for that 😊. God bless you sir! ❤️

[themaddrummerofficial]

"Because that's not distracting at all." 🤣Love your sense of humor!!!

[tombuck]

Turns out I didn’t have my mic plugged in for most of this video and ended up accidentally recording with the camera’s built-in mic, which sounded awful. I was desperate and tried Adobe’s new “Enhance Speech” thing as a last resort (it’s free and web-based). It totally saved my biscuits! If anything, the audio almost sounds TOO clean now. I’ve been super skeptical of these “AI” audio tools, but I’m sold.

The whole setup is something to be envied. I'm going to steal these ideas: Cam rig with mic arm. Unbrand Rode arm. Color backgrounds for B-rolls. Toolbox cabinet with labels.

I also can't wait to give up gear, even though I know I haven't used something in a long time. It's a good idea to decorate the space with them. I think a lot about whether to build the space for myself or whether to consider the guests who visit the space as well. Extra points to give space dimensions in meters.

[PrestonJensen]

Love the video! Brings me so much joy seeing my print on your wall! It’s awesome seeing how the studio has evolved.

[Maneetpaul]

As a fellow YouTuber, I learned so much from this video! Definitely going to take some of your tips and apply them to my setup 🙏🏽

[SpotsYA]

You are living every creator dream, thank you for sharing your studio insights Tom. Gracias

[chillywilli]

Awsome workspace. It doesn’t need to be big, as long as you have fun working in it. And your content quality is great.

[ElBeeEss]

Such a vibrant channel you have, Tom! Your portmanteau words really tickle me; I love smooshing words together too. I'm also a self-confessed over-user of alliteration - a habit I just don't seem to be able to curb. Keep on keeping on; you're a delightful sparkle in a dark sky.

[JamesKerLindsay]

Thanks, Tom. I always enjoy these videos. It’s great to see how you do so much in a small space. And thanks so much for all the great advice and tips more generally. You’ve helped me improve the quality of my videos so much.

[TheCoolFactor]

I am a simple dude, i see a Weighted Companion Cube, I smash that like. Excellent studio, very inspirational considering I am using a comparable home office / studio as well!

[PatrickRambles]

Tom, that Dracast light is the real MVP. That thing will still be there when we are all long gone 😂

[bobcieslinski]

Love the music equipment Tom. I’m a band teacher so I gravitate to those things. Thanks for the tour!

[RexxReviews]

Thanks for another Awesome Video Tom!!!

[ioannisaliazis]

I just wanna say I really enjoy watching your videos & your joie de vivre & puns, thank you 😊

[michaelj.]

tour-rific, oh my...sending love and peace to everyone...

[kuskal]

Hi Tom, you have the most beautiful image, so clear and well lit and colorful, thank you for your friendly explanation

[crumpetsbuttered]

Tom have always loved your videos, the colour is great and your humour... well!!!! Would love to see a Video covering your Streaming Workflow in detail and Youtube Workflow.
