It’s underrated, especially with how many commercial studios have literally no natural light

I thought the same lol! Quested H108 user here. You almost never see Quested anything.

They're the VS2108s w/ Focal Sub6. Love them! We did discuss them in the shoot but not everything could be included in the video.

Are you from Cleveland too?!

@@colinsipos Born and raised! I moved to NC during the pandemic but will always be a Cleveland kid at heart. Loved this tour of your place!

@@strivison Very cool! Looks like you're doing some incredible work from NC. Great to connect and thanks for watching.

Good eye! Richard is an old friend.

The room's treated very well actually, the panel colors just match the walls to blend in. All walls and ceiling are treated with 30 broadband panels and then tuned with software for flat response. It's a great sounding mix room.

I’d rather sleep in my studio honestly, I’d be anxious with other people sleeping in such an expensive room 😅

@@colinsipos Ah cool! Thanks for the response!

Thanks for your thoughts! Agreed, I'd love to switch them, but it's not possible at the moment until I build a custom cabinet to house both amps. I designed the setup this way for a very calculated reason that improved my workflow in session. @austinbridge had the same question. Here's my answer to his comment below. I know, it's a nervous sight at first, but it's fully stable and safe. I'm very protective of my gear. The weight of the TwoRock is extremely solid so it's not actually top-heavy. The TwoRock is a tank. (Obviously I removed the TwoRock handle so they lay flat). I set them up this way on a heavy board w/ casters and an attached power strip for easy ergonomic workflow in session. This way I can roll the whole amp system over to the console position at a moment's notice having access to controls on both amps. This way I can A/B them quickly or control them both for separate instrumets without leaving the mix sweetspot. TwoRock knobs are on the front while Balthazar knobs are on the top. The Balthazar is on top by design so I can reach the knobs on both amps without moving anything. Efficiency is king in session to not slow down ideas. Hope this helps!

Through the window!

@@colinsipos That's my guess too. But damn, I love a good through-the-window story!

@@colinsipos Colin, you still make me nervous 😅 But by the way your studio looks, I can tell that you are methodical and meticulous. I know that Two Rock is as solid as they come, and you would never put any gear in harm's way. lol

@@austinbridge I appreciate your respect for the gear! I feel the same way, and I assure you it's all safe and out of harm's way. This is my personal private studio, not a commercial space with other people using my stuff. The songs we create with these tools matter the most to me over the tools themselves. Having systems for the tools to better serve the songs always comes first for me over being too precious with the tools. That's my philosphy. The house is more important than the hammer :)

Why does it matter?
