thanks for this one. wow. im in awe of this stop.

I was an engineer at the smoakstack for almost 10 years. Paul has been a great mentor and friend and I run my studio the way I do because of him.

Paul was gracious enough to let me intern at the Smoakstack many years ago. Very grateful for that experience and can attest to the excellence of Paul and that studio. That space and the collection of gear is insane.

People don’t build studios like this without being absolutely in love with music and it’s history

I could listen to him talk about the history and story behind EVERY! SINGLE! THING! In that place! As mush as i love the music and gear aspect of these videos, i gotta say, hearing the stories behind how people have aquired their gear over the span of decades is just food for the soul to me!

Intro song was fire

Had the pleasure of recording at many studios in Nashville and the times I've been able to work in Smoakstack have been by far my favorite... instant vibe and energy and Paul is just such a talented and wonderful person. If you'd believe it his space has been this vibey and packed with great gear since I first recorded a song there in 2009! Been waiting for this tour since you started your channel! Also, seeing the space again makes me realize just how much it must have imprinted on me, I've totally done my best to set my (much smaller) space up to feel the way those rooms did without even realizing it, to me this is what peak studio looks like.... Hell, could say the same for how I've decorated the rest of my house 😂

Man!!!!! This is probably my favorite studio I've seen and I've watched every studio tour you have done. Great as always Andrew 🤘

Amazing. The guitar and keyboard collection is just beyond! First became aware of Paul playing w Bukovac and Ann Wilson, thanks for sharing his studio. I’m in awe.

Absolutely beautiful studio, the entire set up is amazing, right down to the decorative pieces that give it such a warm feel.

That's an amazing place. Great vibe

What an awesome room and Paul is very humble.

Millions of $Dollars$!!! One does not just come upon this by "Coming to Nashville with a Dream". There is more to this story than meets the eye. Very impressive studio.

Yes. Its called "born rich" ... car dealerships make huge piles of cash.

Wow this place is insane. Definitely one of the best tours I've seen.

Andrew I love all of your videos and the vibes of so many of the rooms you go to, but this studio and the atmosphere that he created is absolutely on fire.. super instane amount of amazing gear, mics, and instruments but still a comfortable warm welcoming feeling to it also! 🔥

This one is definitely up there! Wow! I'm drooling over here!

Awesome studio ! Hats off to you Paul Moak...your gear collection is far better than most pro studios I've worked in. Very well done Sir !

INCREDIBLE!

What an incredible space! This is inspiration for me

Wild and authentic studio. Thanks for sharing it man.

Amazing! This tour could've been 10 hours for sure!!!

I always wanted a studio. This is a beautiful one.

UFFF, WHAT A STUDIO!

Chris Hudson is my buddy - Legendary, also engineered all of WAR's early albums along with so many iconic groups. What a incredible studio. WOW!

Paul is the absolute man! Paul changed my life and is such a great dude in a city full of goobs. But hey Paul....aren't we never supposed to turn the lights on full?

Agreed!

We had a handful of those baby neve sidecars at the TV studio I work. The offline video edit suites used them bascially for monitoring. A couple years after I started here, prolly in 2003-2004 the boss replaced them all with yamaha 01vs.. and the baby NEVEs went away.. I hinted at wanting one.. He played with the bait but didnt take it.. (wanted to have direct outs put into is to use as a drum tracking cosnole) I can only assume there are a couple in the attic or deep storage in this place.. its a huge facility thats been around since the late 50s..

Wild.

Sickest studio yet...

so cool, some of my fav artists in tobymac and mat Kearney recording there is crazy to me

The Best Studio I`ve ever seen

Wow, I saw a Roland chorus echo, had one just like it in the early 80's

dude's space is ridiculous. it's probably the coolest vibe of any studio featured on this channel.

Great studio. Recording there would be a special experience.

wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Aphex 204 is SO good. Love seeing them in the wild

Wow I would never leave that place 😮

Oh man. That is another studio where I'd love to write and record an album at.

Awesome 👽UK

incredible! especially for an extended ranch house. I need to hit the lottery! lol.

Omg! Whats / who is that song in the opening sequence! Do share!

Wow!! Gat damn

PAUL!!! I’m hear from the METAL UP YOUR PODCAST!!!!

"Studio Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" ... or at least rich in awesome gear!

Dude Lives Christmas 365!!!

Noice!

incredible. all boxes checked. no clavinet. that was about it 😂

WOW

⚓️ Thanks Paul Andy 😎 Hey Andy!!! You’re hat is on backwards.

Legit

hahah i felt andrew's oh yeaa at 7:30 😂

Well, that wouldn't suck. That's one of those where you jump in the golf cart and head down to push the bass up a couple dB.

How do you record drums with all the guitars and the gong and keep them from vibrating and picking up sound from the strings and gong and other things I see that can probably make noise if vibrated enough.

Damn.

I love plugin 😂

Do all those acoustics live next to the drums? Seems like they would create a lot of resonance from the drums?

bro i need this video another hour long nothing too crazy!!!! gear questions, Fairchild !! setups, Gear chains, Great video bro !!!

There's s much gear that even the Fairchild didn't make the cut.

Hi

I would hide in the B room.

I may be the only one who realizes this, but this guy has so much Catholic stuff all over his studio! As a Catholic, I greatly appreciate his forwardness!

I'd never be able to work there or relax and be creative with all of the christian imagery and iconography slapping me in the face. It's almost as if he's trying to convert his non christian customers. I would resent it, but that's just me.
