As a gearholic, that was a very satisfying walkthrough! As a Greek studio owner whose wife insists in moving to London, it was very informative also! As a 40year old kid who's trying to laugh out of everything, minute 8:21 saying "surprisingly effective for" masked by a huge 330-350Hz resonance, did it for me! Thanks! Wish you to find the time and inspiration to do what's to be done in your space!

You've made a higher end version of Guy Michelmore's garden shed (or back yard shed as we would say here in the US)... a bit bigger as well... but a very nice space to say the least. The fact that it's not a dark space like your old studio probably helps a lot as it more than likely helps bring you into a more creative zone. Nice video... and nice to see that you're doing what you're doing in this video, Paul!!

The first moment I saw the glass studio in the garden, I wasn't sure if I had mistaken the YT channel and was watching a Guy Michelmore video. Almost like I already heard "Hello everybody" but then I saw how excited you were. :)

Every man needs a shed. Wonderful space.

Very happy you're back. I've learned so much from you.

Excited to watch your new content!

looks really good. Good to have you back paul!

Miss you Paul! Great to see you back, congrats on the new studio! Everything looks so awesome :)

Great to see you again Paul! Fantastic new studio although the last one was AMAZING ❤. Hope to see more videos from you. All the best ❤

Welcome back! The new spot looks great, and as wonderfully produced as your previous videos have been, I'm sure we're all happy having more videos knowing it's not as hard on you and your family. Looking forward to your future...

Welcome back Paul , stunning studio,love the structure.

Sooooo nice to have you back, missed your videos alot Paul ❤️

That's a lovely space, Paul! Looking forward to seeing your new content ✌️

So lovely to see you. Thanks for sharing.

Great to see you on KZfaq again Paul. Great looking Studio!

Glad to see you back and can't wait to watch what you share.

Lovely looking space! Nice to see you back here Paul!

Glad you’re back!

Excellent video, Paul! Have always enjoyed your videos (and compositions); looking forward to seeing your new videos!

I absolutely love what you have done with this new studio, Paul, it is just brilliant!

Paul I love your new studio. I love this big cabine Very nice room I would also decide when i had the choice. Congrats

Congrats Paul on re-establishing your older room. I too thought the studio you built was fabulous by design and space. And, I understand the need to re-invent yourself and work space at a time when priorities change. As well as the need for gear you once thought to be necessary. I have found over my 40+ years as an engineer, sound designer and part time composer, that I'v had to re-invent myself more than once. As well as either re-designing a space or moving to a new location. Phoenix, LA and now back home in Cleveland, OH. I am happy to follow you to gain more of your insights to score and sound. My watchword has always been... "The day you quit learning is the day uou die."

Cool stuff Paul! Looks like a really fun room to work in. Hooray for the Trinnov too, those things are incredible!

Super nice ! What a journey ! “Bits and bobs…” :)

I love seeing your studios, makes me dream of what is possible!

That’s beautiful wow so exciting! Happy music creation Paul! Greetings from Edinburgh. Robert👍🙂

Lovely space. I admire your strength of character letting your piano go. I'll be switching continents again next year and although my head says lose the piano, the heart has its fingers firmly in its ears and is singing ting-a-ling-a-loo. Very loudly! Look forward to your future updates.

Great looking space, simple but very usable

Great looking space! Efficiency breeds competency.

Hopefully the new owner of your old place can put the studio you built to good use. Good to have you back.

The Output acoustic panels are fantastic! And the Trinnov... no words...

Beautifull project, congrats!

Looks great Paul.

Good to see you Paul. I enjoyed seeing you talk about your new studio. Hope to see you again soon dear fella. Best wishes Tom Baxter

The way you pointed at the Air Con and the look to the camera was soooo David Brent. Awesome video and congrats Paul.

Thanks Paul - looking forward to your videos!

Hi Paul, as a customer and fan of Spitfire Audio it is great to see you back in action. Will be following you from today - best regards.

So you gained a shed and Christian lost one! Lovely to see your new setup, thanks for sharing.

beautiful space!

Congratulations 🎊

Beautiful new studio as well! But I really was in awe about your last studio space!! Would love to hear from you more about why it didnt work for you! Cheers mate!!

Welcome Back Paul we missed you! Congratulations on the new studio, may it be the incubator of many wonderful musical journeys.

Nice one Paul and thanks for the tour. I hope your Grand has ended up in the house and not left in the Cotswolds somewhere😁. Looking forward to more visits to the "Shed" and wishing you all well in your new home.

Good vib ... looking forward to ti future

Thanks for sharing!

Welcome back, Paul! I enjoyed the barn studio build videos a lot, the exterior really was a thing of beauty. And it will forever be "yours" if you built it! Hopefully your new more efficient studio will give you more time for KZfaq. Fresh ideas and maybe the return of some golden oldies - some more editions of "Secret Scoring Weapons", maybe?

Guy Michelmore be like " Whaaaat! O My Goooood!"

I've been admiring Yellow Tech's photos recently (with a smidge of jealousy) - good to see inside. Looks great and functional..

You have a very resonating F (346Hz) in your room nice new room. 😄

Thanks for the tour Paul! It’s worth watching this video back as there is a resonant frequency ring of about 330hz (or maybe a harmonic of a related frequency) that is audible when you are talking. Maybe that could do with some further treatment.

Looking forward to your new videos! I Hope there's nothing that didn't make the cut that you regretted almost immediately after, when it would have been perfect for the next project.

Hi Paul, new studio looks great. I couldn’t agree more keeping things simple / streamlined, much more creative and more fun place to work . After the building my studio was in burnt down at my farm a couple years ago (very stressful) but gave me the opportunity to start from scratch after collecting gear for 35 years, I took the same approach simple streamlined and only with kit you use . Well done

Good luck Paul. As an upgrade from a spare bedroom studio, I've just built a similar garden room (less windows), GIK acoustic treatment, decent quality monitors, the aircon is a godsend. The simplicity of sitting at a desk, most things in the box with good quality output makes the workflow fun and absorbing. I can write so much faster and there is less fiddling afterwards. But because of the quality I can composed hear it well at much lower volumes so can go for longer.

My goodness im manifesting to grow my studio like this!!!

Beautiful space! Love the design of the building. Really interesting about de-midi-ing your synths...I've found that freeing as well! Amazing to hear someone of your caliber confirming my experience. In my case I think committing to a take rather than waffling back and forth tweaking the midi notes hearkens back to recording sessions in the 80's and 90's (I might have a few years on you), and the loss of some of that organic feel when everything is clipped to the grid. Anyhow, Grats!!

Just casually mention ya Jupiter 8!!!! lol what a gem ya got there. Really love the new studio space.

Great pad Paul!!!😊

I couldn´t imagine a workspace without daylight. Even the smoothest LED lighting isn´t what I could stand over hours. And sometimes a quick look outside of the window can be inspiring too.

Looking great. Sometimes less is more unless it's gear the more is more 😂

Love the space. I built the complimentary shed to yours in my garden, designed for drum recording. ( ready when you are )…

Nice new tidy studio Paul. I must have a good de clutter in mine. Need to move a few things around too, lol.

If I ever got the opportunity to build a studio, I'd build it by the lake or sea view. I love gardens but I extremely love the sea and the watery views. All these hardware equipment are defo a huge learning curve for me as I am an average bedroom composer ;) Great stuff Paul

This space weirdly seems like a much better vibe than the last one. Maybe it is because everything is simpler, or maybe it is all the daylight. Just looks like a fantastic space to write music. Congrats!

Looks lovely man. I really want a studio with sunlight instead of the usual dark vibes. Nice garden view looking at Rabbits in between making horrible noises etc 😂

The Trinnov is insane... probably the last thing I'd sell from my room now. Absolute gamechanger.

Awesome! And great looking!! 🎉 Can we see more of the outside of the building?????? :D … and maybe also a making of video??? 😊 Best Rune

Lovely new studio Paul. Couldn't help notice the ring around 350hz on your walk around audio. Sure you're aware tho. Congratulations on new setup. 😊

Welcome back! You've been very missed. Really looking forward to new vids. In the meantime, is Spitfire doing a scoring competition this year (like Bridgerton, Star Girl, etc.)? Usually in late July/early August. Thx for all you do! Massively appreciated.

Nice to see you again, we missed you, Paul! (And transmit our warmest regards to Christian, we miss him too, he realy should be back!)

I love how he just casually goes over having a Jupiter 8 like ya it has some cool sounds lmao. It’s a frickin 30k usd synthesizer

No frills ? Well not quite but u make the best point which we all should follow - there is a lot of stuff you just don’t need.

Impressive new studio but... is it just me that can hear some resonance at times? For instance I thought I can hear something around 330Hz or thereabouts, around 5:20-5:40 ish and (ironically) around when you start talking about the room treatment.

major 700hz/1.4khz resonance happening in your room (at least in your camera mic) especially at 5:35

You can hear the ringing especially around 9:27 thru 10:24 it’s comes right after you speak. You need more room treatment and then reset the room correction eq. It’s mostly when you are in front of the desk. I don’t really hear it near the back wall under the AC area.

Great to see you up and running there and good luck. I have a question though: my workspace is a spare bedroom with no acoustic treatment, so I mix using AKG K702's plus some simulation software. I know I'm probably missing a lot (of low end?) so what else would you maybe suggest bearing in mind I have neighbours? Thanks.

Nice looking room. Sure hope you were able to sell your other studio to someone who could use it as a studio. I remember there was a LOT of work and planning that went into it. Your new room does sound a bit live, though, listening to your voice. Might it need more absorption? Especially with all of those reflecting glass surfaces? If it were me, in addition to the nice, bright lighting you have, I'd put maybe a half dozen reasonably powerful PAR LED lights in the corner and along the wall (and hook them up to a DMX controller so you can program different scenes). It's a small thing, but having the ability to turn the light in the room to some other rich color(s) besides white really can transform your mood, and take you to a different place. I find it can be hard to get your mind into a dark, mysterious zone for creating dark and mysterious music when the lighting is so bright and office-like. ;)

Thanks for the tour and all the tips over time. I guess no "Bob the Builder" style video montage this time. :).

Hi Paul. In the latter half of the video I’m hearing a frequency of around 330Hz (E4) occasionally when you talk (varying in amplitude). Wasn’t sure if you’re aware of that which might need dampening somehow. Thanks for the great video. Looks like an efficient and functional studio.

Wonderful inviting new space! Nothing more important than capturing the idea before hitting the gear. Interesting to see the Furman at the bottom of the right rack..no need for the lamps or just a choice of wiring?

Hi Paul, great update. Thanks for doing these types of videos. One thing i have noticed - there is a very resonant frequency in your room when you are speaking. In my experience with acoustic treatment, i do feel the space is lacking some initial reflection treatment, especially on the ceiling. I feel you would really benefit from adding some 242's or 244 GIKs to the room to remove it and tighten it up further. Anyway, great studio, enjoy!

Wow, it's tiny compared to your old studio, but it's still functional and looks great.

Paul, I'm looking at the master chain, and I have the MAS, Bus +, and looking to add the 5500 or two 550a with just the transformer tone coming through. How do you like the doublewide/api vs the shelford for tracking?

Hoping you’ll be very productive in the new studio, and can’t wait for more videos! 👍👍 Don’t know if you can comment, but any news on a Spitfire Scoring Competition for this year, as it is normally up and running by now?

I love this video, not least for its honesty, charm and generosity of information. It’s inspiring, thank you! Now, I'll be honest... I never really dug the vibe of the Bullpen, Daddio. It thought it was overkill, with regards to some of the equipment. I didn’t understand the 2" or the drum kit, or even the grand (😱). It should have been a writing suite, not a hybrid recording studio. But is was a magnificent achievement. Still having problems with the guitars, here, haha, but it's kind of adorable that you are a total guitar nut, and have them there.Very cute :)) Me, I just do my Jan Hammer impression with samples and it fools 'em every time. The acoustics. Even though it presently sounds like a large, empty bathroom, surely the detractors must understand that it’s obviously a work in progress. Duh….? Loving those fantastic links, thank you. I'm intending to return to the UK, from Canada, and will definitely be looking seriously at Green Retreats and AKA. I'm using a Zaor Miza M right now, which is great but not...bespoke. Not sure about that orange slab Choi Sauce thing, though ;) But if you rate it, that’s good enough for me, Sir. One final thing. I just don't how anyone can work with only one screen. Three is the absolute minimum for me. Just my take. Many, many thanks to you, Paul, for your infectious enthusiasm, expertise, winning humour, great music and wonderful walkthroughs. Long may you prosper.

Wonderful space Paul! If you don't mind me asking, what are those multidocks for the SSDs? They don't look like QNAP or Blackmagic. I have been looking for something like that but an input by someone using a specific brand and model would be very welcomed. Thanks in advance.

I enjoyed & appreciated your video. As someone who tends to go too big & has an excellent small studio setup I'm grateful to you to see how powerful what I have is as opposed to what I don't have. What is the name of the multi hard drive input you have in your left hand rack? I could do with one, What is the name of the multi jack input in your right hand rack? With the multi jack input, does every jack input in your studio run to it?

Great update Paul and great to see you. Didn’t see a 5.1 monitoring in there (can’t remember if you had it in the old studio either?) did you determine 5.1 was not needed? Makes sense if it’s purely a writing and recording studio vs mix but I know a lot of writers are moving up to at least out some type of 5.1 in there studios to have the option. Cheers mate

Hi Paul. You've got a resonance on a E around 330 Hz in the room while speaking :) check around minute 9:30.

You have some serious room reflections just above your sweet spot listen at 8:12-8:17. Maybe because you are close to the ceiling where it is mostly bare. I can clearly hear it: not sure if because all the glass behind you or just up in the ceiling area. Also at 8:24 it’s not quite a ring, I am thinking it’s around 400hz with a tight Q.

Dude, you should have been wearing your "Very Excited" T-shirt. Nice place. I was hearing a lot of about 820Hz ringing while your were walking around talking.

Sweet looking studio! May you have much productivity and happiness. However, during the sit down portion of the video the sound was quite tinny and I'm hearing some echo. The sound was fine after about 2:19 when you began the walking tour.

Green Retreats room looks very nice - did you add anything bespoke apart from presumably the acoustic pack and air conditioning?

Lovely place! Can you dhare more aboute the pad in the desk? Is it a big touch pad? Cheers!

Welcome back. Really nice place and gear. No problem with the windows ? I can hear a kind of resonance around 330 Hz when you're speaking (for example at 10' or 11'30s in the video).

If you don't mind my asking, what dimensions did you go for? Im mid-build of what looks like a similar size room out back and wondering.

Would be interested in how you have the guitar pedals cabled to the patchbay. Is there a reamp box involved? Just curious. Would like to do something like that for my setup instead of wasting time hooking everything up each time I wanted to use a Strymon, etc.

Thanks Paul - very enlightening. I followed your last (fabulous) studio build which inspired the design of much of my own barn-conversion studio build, even down to that gorgeous desk you had - so it's equally interesting to see your evolution into this streamlined version. ONE QUESTION: You're still using the M905 for monitoring (which I had been planning to purchase soon) - now you have the Trinnov - would you recommend from your experience not bothering with a Grace and using a Trinnov for monitoring as well? PS. Keep up the great videos!

Congrats on the new studio. And no spitfire competition this year to tell us about?

It's so good to see you back, could you link the Rick Ashley video you mention please?

Absolutely gorgeous space, but there is a nasty room node at around E4-F4, about 330-350 Hz the whole video
