I finally found the desk of my dreams for my studio, and it's called DOMinator! Coincidence? Maybe ;) By the way, I am going to release the track that plays at the beginning soon ;) Use the code "DOMSIGALAS" to get $100/€100 OFF your desk!

That "no midi packs were used" line really got me. 🤣

"No MIDI packs" 🤣 👍

I own that same desk it is a great desk Your desk with actually show up in a crate.

I've just watched a 16 min video about a desk... And when it was finished, I wanted more! Glad that no midi packs were used in this video either. As for the desk, my requirements are a bit strange so I have someone building one for me on specs... ...but I'd get the Studio Desk just for the piano luster finish!

Fantastic, congrats Dom! I remember 2 years ago when I came back into the music production world, now being partly hearing impaired on my left ear, I asked you about your view on this, if I could ever be able to do a good job... and man your encouragement was incredible! I am ever so thankful to you for that positivism. Congratulations again, you deserve it! Have a blast mate

Woooow! Awesome dream desk and set up! What a happy composer!

Really nice to see you so excited about your new creative space. Thx, for sharing with us and keep you up making the music you love.

Hey Dom, your desk is WONDERFUL 🎶 ( The Dominator ) 👏

You and Jeff Gibbons have the best desk setups

Thats a mean MegaDesk! "no midi packs were used...." hahahaha GREAT!!!!

Glad to see you reviewing the StudioDesk! Amazing job Dom and amazing desk! Glad you found a dream desk that suits all your needs.

that is a beautiful desk @Dom. no coincidence you are the Dominator

Man that intro got me uncomfortably excited 😂

Hi Dom, you are an energetic and joyful composer,

Super happy for you Dom. I can see the joy in your face!!! Haha. Thanks again for all you do and keeping the fire of music creation in our hearts!!!

Very cool desk. Almost bought one myself but decided to go full custom made

Love the name of your studio!!! Nice desk!!!!

0:29 My favorite part of the video. "No MIDI packs were used in the creation of this track." Absolute genius. You would not want any musical theory, that is for wimps, who wants to learn anything when a MIDI pack can "write everything for you." (Please note the sarcasm...😉😜)

I am converting one of the rooms into a new music studio and I have been eyeing up the Commander V2 they do, they make some awesome desks...

Yo, Dom Dadda!!.....That ain't no desk.....THAT'S THE FRICKIN' STARSHIP ENTERPRISE bro......Niiiiiiiice!! EDIT: Just checked the site...wow they've got models called 'Enterprise' lol....Nice one Dom, enjoy your workspace dude!

So happy for you! Now go and make fantastic music.

this desk was definitely worth the wait Dom(inatotor) XD I'm so happy for you. And I can't wait for the studio tour take care and enjoy your new desk

I have a Studio Desk Beat serie and I really appreciate !

In spite of the gorgeousness of the DOMinator desk itself, the lovely lights and the breath-taking aspirational gear postioned perfectly on it, ultimately it is a well-thought out workspace which will grow as you incorporate additional gear and give you a comfortable environment to spend hours doing what you love. If a desk can be considered both practical and sexy, the DOMinator desk certainly is just that! Enjoy it Dom! (And yes, I want one!) 😍

I'm so I love with this desk 🤩😍

Congratulations Dom 🦇👌

Thanks for the torture hehe... Its awesome.

Love ya DOM inator lol 😂

The harder one works, the more hours spent, the more important the environment. Years ago, I had the good fortune of constant overlapping fantasy projects and took advantage of the income stream to build my dream Artisan Mobile, which supported my career as a live specialist and gave me more post-production work than I could handle. I’ve recently moved home and plan to do it again in a fixed space. This plan brought me here to see your experience. Much of my construction in the Mobile was self-designed and built but I had a great control room already, built by John Archer Design. At home it will be all new and I go into this with no small amount of trepidation.

I have for about 2 years such a great product from them (Enterprise electric) and I love it

Hello Dom , congratulations ! I understand why you enjoy and why you are so happy. I have the Commander V2 series . I feel the same joy everytime. Studiodesk made wonderfull products .It's a Real artwork with a very good price, it's not expensive for that top quality . It's a pleasure to create and play music on that desk ! Enjoy and good creation 🙂 and many thanks for all your job you are tremendous ! Thank you 🙂

Awesome vid, loving the setup...Your Video Editing skills on another level!

Beautifull

Great review, I just order mine a hour ago. I will have to assemble it alone. I also have a Cranborne 500R8 I guess i will put it in the same location that you are using. I will use my MODX 88 for my controller. Currently i am using a Keylab mk II 61 which I like very much. I am using a 4K 55'' Sony tv for my main monitor, with two 32'' monitors I will have to come up with a layout that will work. Next step is to disconnect all my gear and move it out of my Room and then build the dominator in place, Oh lord! This is a mix of excitement and dread I have never had all my gear disconnected. I will sent a picture of my studio. Thanks

Hey Dom! I wish I could be you in my next life!!! Thank you so much

I looked at a few 0f the StudioDesks but wanted a sit/stand motorized desk. and to be honest, felt they were a bit overpriced for MDF dipped in fibre glass. With some encouragement from Chris St'Aubyn, I decided to go DIY. I designed and built my own desk with parts from Amazon and Home Depot. Saved about $1800 compared to the basic Studio Desk offering.

Awesome congrats 🤘🏻🤘🏻👍🏻👍🏻

LOL. The music cues! Excellent. Nice to see the UF8. I've had mine for a year now and love it.

Beautiful Desk

Super cool desk Dom. I’m also thinking of buying the SSL UF8 in combination with the UC1 plugin controller. Please do a review of the UF8 in combination with Cubase. Many thanks Hans

The desk you deserve Dom! I own a Commander 2, these are excellent desks and they put a smile on my face when I seem them, where ever that is. Built in Slovenia by very nice people. I love my desk!

That's so cool Dom! Fly your spaceship well!

Enjoy it

Hi Dom please make video about your cables management, please please ..... thank !

"No midi packs were used for the creation of this track" 🤣 Legend!

awesome desk and an awesome shirt :)

Awesome desk!! You deserve it!! Enjoy and keep creating your masterpieces!! 👍

That is a dream setup! Με γειά Dom. Everything is really amazing. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! This really is a "detail" that enhances creativity. Good job μεγάλε!!! Congrats!!!!

Yes, please - would love your thoughts on a comparison between CC121 and the SSL unit!

nice desk, thanks for the video

Hi Dom. I just wanna say thank you inspire me a lot. thx again

I was looking for a good desk for quite some time, and I saved your video for when Santa would be around. I opted for the Enterprise Electric, but damn... those chaps make the best desks in the market. Your discount code is as good as gold, and once I confirm details about taxes for the UK, this baby is coming home! Thank you Dom. Merry Xmass! ❤

Please do a SSL UF8 review. I know there are a bunch out there, but almost all just talk about how great it is. It would be great to hear your valued opinions on it.

Hey Dom, looks like an amazing desk!! A somewhat off topic question...what monitor arm mount do you use? It's pretty tricky finding one that works well with a monitor bridge... I'm looking forward to the tour of the new studio!!

WOW!!! 👍👏🤗

Very nice DOM, and VERY funny "Dominator" xDDDD. I think the best thing is the keyboard stand system, so good. Hate when keyboard move when you play energic music

Great review Dom enjoy your new workspace :-)

Hi Dom, congratulations to your new desk! It looks really awesomet...like a 747 cockpit ;-) Looking forward to your studio tour! The room looks pretty small. Do you have like another recording room or for storage etc.?

I can imagine Dom taking off into outer space with this amazing layout. Dom what about pc chairs you recommend ?

Hi Dom - it was great to meet you at GearFest yesterday - your master class on mastering was amazing, thank you! Yes please, a video on the SSL would be really appreciated. Keep up the great videos (it won’t be long before you get to 100k subscribers)!

Haha 😂 awesome 👏 lol 😂 I get it DOMinator

Amazing desk.

awesome

Lovely studio. I want your shirt.

Thank you Dom for this video. I am in a similar kind of setup. The only thing is that I never found a good place for my 88 piano master keyboard. I tried to use a stand and move it partially under the desk. But for that I really have to sit low when playing. Then my arms and shoulder hurt when using my gear further away on the desk. I noticed you sit quite high on your chair. How does that working position affect arms, shoulders, etc. Otherwise, this DOMinator desk really looks like a good upgrade. 😎

My wrists hurt just watching this. I can't do keyboard-underneath setups. Having the keyboard underneath causes me to have to raise the main typing surface to an uncomfortable level for my hands/forearms. Since I do a lot of computer work that doesn't involve having my MIDI keyboard out, I can't justify the awkwardness, so I keep my MIDI keyboard on the desk surface just beyond my typing keyboard. This also helps while arranging in notation programs, because I'm mostly using my mouse and keyboard to navigate/use shortcuts/etc, and using my keyboard to tap in notes. If was ONLY using a DAW all day every day, then I'd maybe consider a keyboard-underneath desk.

Absolutely beutifull setup. Don't even want to ask what you had to sell to get the money just the desk and keyboard stand must have cost 😄

Congrats dude :) Happy for you! Btw if possible, please do make a video on building a career as a producer. I think many newbie producers with less work experience like me will find it to be extremely helpful :).

Dom Because of you I know that now there is envy and I have a lot of love for you... hahaha, just kidding Dom is beautiful and you deserve everything good that happens to you

Hey Dom - studio is looking good 👌🏼 I notice the absence of your console 1/fader units. Could you please share your reasons for dropping these from your setup?

Now you need to talk about the workflow change to one 4k monitor and a tiny one (maybe just for Cubase metering). Also, why do you use Cubase over Nuendo. I have wondered about it for some time. Thanks for all the inspiration.

Yes please make a video about UF8+Cubase workflow. Love Your videos… 🤩

Congratulations on the desk! Love the shirt, where can I get one?

The main thing is that the music should be cool :)

Cheers

Loving that vesa mount !!!. Up to what size screen does it hold Dom ???

For $3000 one can get a custom made desk. Obviously this furniture is high quality, but unless one has money to burn, there are much more budget friendly alternatives.

In Hong Kong I can custom any desk I need, my Carpeter has factory in China… made things easy…

Could you please provide a link to your monitor stand ? Thank you !!

Nice desk. However, I have tested the both worlds of having a midi keyborad on a tray and directly on the desk and I'd say I prefer the latter probably because I spend most of my time producing. Having to move the midi keyboard back and forth isn't particularly the best as you spend more time with the keyboard and mouse so it's much better to have them coloser to you than the midi controller... Stretching to reach the keyboard and mouse during production is a pain in the butt

Yes , please Dom make a uf8 Review , i want to know your thougts about it . PEACE FROM GERMANY ✌️

Please do a tube bus compressor demo If possible.manley elop or spl.iron.thanks.

woww

Hey Dom, please do a video on VST live pro ! Thanks in advance 🙏

Honestly, I'm more impressed by your shirt 😁 Have you been to Eisenach recently?

Three things: 1. Quality of light system installation is very, very cheap, based on adhesive tape... 2. The Screen is ABSOLUTELY to high position for working many hours, even after lowering the screen. 3. Dom, on your desk no place for ... thinking :):):)... Of course, I'm joking. Anyway, design of StudioDesk products is good. But quality of elements should be much, much better. I am interested to see this DOMINATOR after 10 years... CONGRATULATIONS, DOM. I think, nobody could advertise a StudioDesk product better.

I have just finish my alone assembly of the studio desk dominator. It was a handful mostly because of the poor tolerance, example if you have a half inch peg going into a predrilled hole you make the hole five eights not half inch. these numbers are a example to let future customers understand. this was the issue thru out the entire build. I had to use Vaseline and a very large hammer. The video studio desk shows as a assembly tutorial is fiction. These boys, i am sure predrilled before filming nothing fit the way the film shows. A side note They only use semi trucks to deliver to homes ( it's cheaper for them) unfortunately I live in a cul-de-sac so they drop my shipment 400 pounds off about a football size field away from my place Lucky I have a dolly, Lol All in all I do like this size of a desk.

Fantastic desk and fantastic studio (oh and loved the music too). However I am halfway through the video and I just can’t hold myself on asking why so much excitement for a sturdy 88key keyboard tray? Isn’t that pretty standard on most high-end music desk including others from Studio Desk itself? Unless there is something more I am missing out on.

Bro, I am being overwhelmed by the amount of hardware you have in your studio. What a huge learning curve! makes me feel that my software-only studio is a JOKE lol. For hardware, I only have streamdeck and faderport 8 haha. Looking forward to receive my costume-made studio desk but not dominator obviously ;) But I wonder Dom, you have all this and use only one screen?

It's really difficult to find sturdy studio furniture. I built my desktop with wood I got from the local hardware store. The laminate tops are fragile. After only a year of use it will look like it needs to be replaced. You can't be totally gentle with it as your working.

Amazing! I have the desk of my dreams, although the analogue centre section is so cool. I've got a problem with my one in that my SL 88 Grand key keyboard is too tall to fit in the drawer. I have considered linear actuators but it's such a faff. Might be too big a project!

Love the desk I just can’t see myself dropping 3k+ on it.

Hi dom, Can you show us your electricity bill? 😁

Please make a video on the UF8

You must have very good eyes to see that computer screen at over 1 meter away - enjoy your desk - until your turn 45 🙂 It looks great, but unfortunately for me with my glasses (started needing them as I got older) the screen has to be approx 60cm away - shame as this desk is great and a step up from my Zoar desk - though on the Zoar desk I can have my screen at 60cm.

That opening track Dom, I don't know, I'm pretty sure I heard a D minor chord that came from a MIDI pack. How else would you have come up with that exotic chord?

Amazing ! How big is the monitor screen = 32 or 43 ? Thank you for many great vids Dom :-)

No MIDI Packs... genius!! Hahahaha!!

I've been curious about their desks but thought the piano stand might get in the way when sitting- I noticed you sitting pretty far back while it was tucked under the desk. Personally I like to sit closer such that the arm rests on my chair are about halfway under the desk. Do you find that it gets in the way? Btw, curious what choirs you use at 1:50
