I Finally Fixed My Home YouTube Studio

I've been looking for gear storage solutions and boy do I feel a little silly for not even contemplating rolling tool chests. I clearly don't watch enough gear videos!! Thanks for the inspiration!
Totally impressive studio setup! If you want speakers that are high enough rich sound quality but don't break the bank, I use Logitech Z207 multimedia speakers for less than $100 from Amazon. Other creators have also recommended these. Or if you prefer your headphones go with that. I like your Savage colored paper for creating product images, so far I only use white, I may have to get blue and pink now after seeing this. The 53 inch rolls work with a C stand, however I like your 3 roll setup on the wall which is convenient. I like your workbench on wheels which can store lots of equipment.

Welcome to 'wheel world' of studio space. I built mine this way 3 years ago and added ceiling suspended bars which has made a massive difference to light stands, cables and other tripping errors. i find it much more productive and the ability to swap out cheap chinese printed backdrops a great way to give the same space a different look.
When you pushed the desk out of the way, for the standing shot, I was totally convinced you were going to start dancing. The space looks sooo much more usable now. Must be such a relief.

I looked up prices for some of Mr Buck's kit. The SM7B is barely a footnote on his inventory...
Oh, one thing regarding turning on and off the power to those tubelights: I recently bought a set of four individual wifi-controllable power outlet sockets/smart sockets, and put them on my keylight and in a couple of other places, and since they are supported via google, alexa and siri I can now turn on and off single power outlets/single items , cutting the power to them - so even if I have a powerpad with multiple outlets in it, I can then put these single outlet controllers in there, and control the power for each single socket, by voice or action buttons on my phone. It’s also possible to group several sockets so they can be controlled by a single command as well as individually, just using the phone with either voice commands or ios shortcut buttons. That could maybe solve the problem of turning on and off the tube light in the corner ++ effectively cutting the power to the tubelight if that’s what you want. Yes, it’s an addition step for *just* turning on a single light (if it’s off at the socket), but at the same time, by grouping these sockets it’s possible to turn off everything you *want* to not have power all the time with just one button/one voice command, saving on battery health. I think they are just called «smart sockets» or «smart plugs» on Amazon, I only just got then so I’m still figuring out how to best utilize them -but since one of my next videos is gonna be a proper «youtube studio light setup figuring s**t out for me and the background/set» type video I’m deep diving into *really* figuring out how to utilize them properly :)
@tombuck
22 күн бұрын
I really like the idea for grouping everything together! The tough part with the tube lights thought is that since they have batteries, once they're on they stay on until the battery dies, and they'd have to be left on for the remote to have an effect. There's zero reason for Nanlite to include a "bypass battery" option, but dang, I'd sure like it! 😁
@AndreSjoberg
22 күн бұрын
@@tombuck … but … with the wifi smart plug you can then turn them off with the remote first (which I guess is standby mode?), and then turn off wifi plug to cut wired power to the lights so the battery doesn’t charge unless you want it to - that way it won’t constantly charge, which is what kills the battery over time … or am I missing some additional button on the tube lights?

Oooh, good luck with the new studio! I'm sure it's overwhelming, but definitely exciting too.
Having that standalone, dedicated «filming»-desk/surface area is sooo key for a well functioning space - I do something similar in my filming space, although I have a big workbench on wheels with shelves and storage in the middle of the room for filming, it does do double duty for projects/crafting my KZread-gear as well, *and* for mounting Roller Skates, so it does trippel duty and sometimes those things crash - but I then *always* have my separate working desk available for putting my laptop on and do some computer work, which is also where I have my audio card and monitor speakers set up. I often end up sitting at my workbench with my laptop though, just because it feels nice and all my stuff is within easy reach - so not perfect, but *way* better than having just *one* desk :) And of course: everything on wheels is a must :D

Is a pound heavier, and the XLR jacks input and output are all on top instead of on the back -making me have to unplug and re-plug when I scrub and set up. But! It has a smaller footprint, and I don’t have to have an outboard rig for occasional duo and group shows. Plus, it has auto gain control and intelligent feedback control. I have designed a 10-button MIDI foot controller for my lights and video, so I can change things during songs, in lieu of the RCP2 smart pads.

Another very inspirational video Tom. While I’m just limited to a space at the end on our dining room that’s open to most of the house you did give me some ideas I can use. Moving my camera/teleprompter setup to a stand with wheels similar to what you have is a possible start. I’ve already looked into making that change after watching that video. I’m already planning on buying one of those Husky adjustable height work tables. I’ve seen those on several different channels. I even have my wife’s approval for the expenditure. It will be a great improvement over the desk I’m currently using. Unfortunately my space doesn’t have space a second desk/table setup like you’ve moved to but I could add a lot of different angles for my shots just by making those changes.

LOVE that everything is on wheels and modular. For your camera/mic setup on your work desk, I've been using the Viozon 6-in-1 desk stand that clamps to my desk. It currently supports my A7IV with a teleprompter, a small mic that I boom overhead, an Aputure MC that I use for a little fill light and a lightweight15" monitor that I use as a multiview so I can see myself or my overhead when filming. It's nice because you can push everything out of the way when I'm just working (95% of desk time). The included mic boom arm is one of the trash $15 ones you can get, so I replaced it. Just gotta find one that fits in the same hole on the mount.

I also own their stand that is on wheels plus I use a smaller height one to mount my RCPII. So I guess I'm kinda all in on their system now since I can mix/match arms/accessories between them all. Take a look at his video though if you're interested. I think it's called "This $130 Video Desk Setup Rocks!"
Ohh boy, love this video!
You are the best!!! Ive been watching since covid started and so many of your videos and reviews have been very important for me in my own channel growth. I use 2 desk setups in my shop and it's much more usable and gives me multiple options for editing, recording, and livestreams. Thank you so much for your great content!!!! Take care, Bill

@@tombuck You bet!!! I love your attitude and thats also something that has influenced how I present on my own channel. I think you give so much more than just your experiences, the example you are setting is very healthy, and positive. I can tell you are a teacher, and it reminds me of the wonderful teachers that I still hold in high regard. Thank You
I put camera and prompter on a rode ds2 . Works very well

What an amazing and inspirational collection of gear. Talking about optimizing one's workflow: You've mentioned the Stream Deck pedal a few times, but I haven't seen other Stream Decks (XL or +) on your desk(s), e.g. for controlling the Prompter or changing scenes in e-camm. Have you tried these? Since I discovered these devices a few years ago, my workflow has improved so much and I can't imagine my desk without these anymore.
So i googled Shure SM7B wireless and discovered that you released a video on May 16. 👏 lol was gonna ask about it too so thanks and nice going

Hey perfect timing!
That lowboy stand is so frustrating - it doesn't go that much lower than other rollers like the Avenger 5017, but then even as a four-section stand it doesn't go very high.
the room is too busy for my taste, this channel always has top tier audio + video.
I learned a lot from your videos to boost my audio quality game at work. So many thanks for that! Also, thank goodness you never started a KZread channel to teach people how to wear tees 😅
Awesome you’re a huge aquabats fan.
Love it. Gives me lots of ideas. Thanks, I am a fan.

Sometimes those "obvious" simple things are the easiest to overlook!
Thanks a Lot ! I really Like your vidéo & this Tour. Always great to pick some good idea for my studio. i saw your mic without câble - its gréât. Thank You.
I’ve always loved the look of the studio, but you nailed it on functionality now! Stoked for you to have a spot like this and it’s inspired me to try a couple of things out in my own!

Maybe this could be a good second channel video? There's definitely something neat about each of them!
I went with three of the crank desks from Husky as well. They have been a game changer. I'd like to upgrade to the tool carts, but my studio is on the second floor and I would have a problem getting them up the stairs because they are usually pre-assembled.

Yeah, those ones are tough for sure. I don't know how on earth I'd get them up stairs!
A very nice studio
Nice home KZread studio!
Is there a secret to keeping reflections off those framed pictures? I wondered if it was the diffusion or the angle of the lights. These videos give me so much inspiration for home studio ideas!
Great organization. Did you make a video on the pelican style trekpak drawers? Thanks
Such a great video dude!! Your space is very well thought out and looks great, but MySpace is a wreck 😜. This video made me realize that we have A LOT of the same stuff in our office/studios. PS Your Josh Groban reference made me laugh
TOOL CHESTS for the WIN!!! Every time, you can't beat the way they organize and protect gear!
