"Why do we watch this channel?" you ask. We watch because we love your spunky attitude. Thanx for not using foul language, too. I share some of your videos with my Music Production students (high school).

[JohnK-idzj]

I'm nowhere near this level but this video was really helpful to get me started. Thank you

[KendrickCreates]

Can lights in the cloud and power strips on the ceiling... Brilliant!

[LightsandMotion]

perfect for some inspiration. just bought a house and will convert my (small) garage into a studio where I can get the basics done

[Alex-noer]

In that small home studio, you can record great hits!!
no more is needed!!
Cheer up and good luck with the project!!!
greetings from Spain!🙋🏻‍♂️🇪🇦

Helpful as always! You've saved me a lot of time and headaches over the years. Thanks Colt

This is awesome. I’ve got a 7ft x 13ft room and I was watching and saw you put the desk short ways, then around the 15 min mark you mentioned the desk should be length ways and now I feel much better about my music room.

[TheElectricShades]

You’re a big inspiration man. I’m currently converting my shed into a studio. It’s about the same size as that room. Have concrete floor, electricity wired, Rockwool installed.
Drywall and acoustic treatment next. I’m ready to swap the gigging life for the recording life.

Very similar to my own new small setup. Good to see you using a small fluffy rug right where the vocalist will be. Bless up from Amsterdam and thanks for your wealth of information.

Awesome video Colt. We just bought a new place so I'll be moving from a 12'x12' dining room to a large room with high cathedral ceilings. I've been rewatching some of the videos I had seen years ago when you uploaded them - around the time you were building the acoustic panels in your A room. And here you are still killing it with the insanely helpful videos years later, thank you man!

[SAMMOTG]

First time listener, candy I really enjoyed the entire vid..im a drummer but I love this kind of tech info, so thank you sir..im on my way to building my dream home drum studio and I believe sound is very important and you laid that out really well for the layman like myself.

[matthewchanmh]

That’s the best topic that I wanted to watch and learn for! I got a smaller size room that got a similar shape and the door is in the short side so I have to place my stuffs on the long side and I think I’m doing it right after watching your vid! 
Thanks🥰

[konradapolke]

Thank you for your inspiration. I want to start my own music company in probably one year and your video has helped me to know what I want to buy

[paulussantosociwidjaja]

Thank you for sharing your musical kitchen cooking for ears to eat. Cheers, Colt!

[johnnywalkerguitar]

Yeah buddy! Can't wait to come see it in person. May have to look into that desk top!

[horusp]

I usually NEVER leave a comment... but...

You know what you're doing as this was quite the concise, highly justly animated, entertaining and knowledgeable points given that I'm certain leaves your viewers with the educated choices in which manner to proceed in music production, live performances and choosing either one of those tools or perhaps follow your leas in using both jointly!!

I worked extensively in TV, commercial and voice over projects for years...I was quote impressed by your presentation indeed.

Somebody should be paying you for it....makes me want to buy an MPC-X SE now!!!

Can't wait for the follow up video dude!!

Also another "I never do"...subscribe.

Hittin' dat button as soon as this one is sent!!

Keep up the great work, all the best in your musical journey and looking forward to the follow up to this video!!

Bless Up. 🙇🏾‍♂️🙏🏿🕊☝🏾🤗

Limited spaces always inspire some of the greatest workflow ideas ever, and I really relate to that as I've been working on a tiny room for a big part of my career now. Your tips are always inspiring. Thanks for the great content, Colt!

[THEFUTURESOUNDBEAT]

man this this looks small for you bu for me its amazing, i only have laptop and headphone . love your home studio for sure

[NX_visionn]

😢 dude I just love all of this I’m gonna learn this stuff because I am actually really good with starting music from scratch in my head and hearing every single instrument in masterpieces

[tdz]

What a fantastic setup. I love the huge monitor. My eyes are not what they used to be and I can see something like this being so helpful.
