I hope you blow up! Outstanding young homie!

[sirjaz1]

[TheShackStudio]

Awesome studio bro! You come a long way. I have the Mackie HR-824's too. They ROCK! I have a couple video's up showing my studio setup. If you have time, check'm out and tell me what you think. I'd love some pointers.

[ayolewistv]

[xNyCXx]

[The101902]

dude you have the right attitude about everything,i myself put so much into my studio and still doing alot of free work but i just love doing it and just wanna get my name and studio out there,take care my friend

[AudioAngerCinema]

I wish I had a guy like you in my band

[LearnBadRockGuitar]

Very very cool.

[DCCDaBoss]

so u went from studio 1 to studio 5 in about how many years?

[ghanz135]

Came here through your vid of the 2nd studio. Amazing what one can build through passion and perseverence. Great example! Keep it up!

[mixinginthebox]

Nice.

[MrJazzeman]

Tile floors?

[GuaGuaVin]

Love the Passion :) just wonderin why you're goin' between cubase and pro tools, isn't it a pain to switch between 2 DAW's, or do you use them both...?

[VikTheRebel]

great story great video

[DJFlorianDubai]

Hey man, so great to see your progress after 2 years ;-) Started DJing last year and having good success and goin the same route: Djing for financing the studio ;-) ... but there is more to come, you get contacts, you record (produce) your first own CD and so on... you might still recognize me as Laid-Back Producer...

Thumbs up!!!!!

[joselchino]

how to evolve your studio:

step 1: have lots of money that u dont mind to spends

..then, all the other steps :))

[1mc001]

Did you build that studio 3 desk or buy iit? thanks

[CjDAudio]

Studio 1 -1:53

Studio 2 - 2:43

Studio 3 - 3:23

Studio 4 - 4:21

Booth - 3:55

DJ Gear - 4:44

People i have worked with - 6:07

[ALBAfuture]

YOU CAN HAVE A 10000MILLION dolla studio but if you aint got talent or original flavor you still gonna sound wak bro. But on the other side I have lots of old gear but lots of talent with sick flavor mang. Lets make a beat battle CJD VS HUGOTRAFFICANTE and lets see if its true that you need new expensive gear to produce hits. With all my respect for music money dont mean shit.

[akadylan]

2:53 long & mcquade flyers chyea!

[peterteed1]

I love your passion Yes money is first but having a passion to build the ultimate studio is awsome, the best thing you are doing it while you are young!!!

[1jnova]

great work man

[BigLthugger]

Yo, tight work.

[CIVILLIANmusic]

Anyone know where he is from?

[snowsk8life]

I like your way of looking at studio production ! its cool that you help people out, im actually like at a stage 2 studio xD and im also into working as a Dj to fuel my hobby.

thanks for the Video

Cheers from Chile !

[famouzRoy]

yo i need help building up my studio can u tell me what i can buy at an affordable price please thanx ur studio is pretty dope i like it

[JSprayaEntertainment]

Why a Neko and Not a StudioBlade !! wow i think he didnt know about "studioblades" or maybe he got the neko used cause there pretty old now .. those are only good for portable studio's anyway I/O's/sample rates and such aren't the best

[7251980]

Hey what audio interface are you using. At one time it was the fast track ultra are you still using it.

[FMGProductions100]

Holy cow you have a neko? Did you get endorsed or did you really spend 8k on that?? I've heard from SO many sources that it's an overpriced hunk of junk lol.

I've got the HR824's also, they're amazing... Best monitor's I've ever heard. Also use a motif XF8.

[SHOTTYTV]

Dope set up man!

[xSlakkax]

Working with Cubase 6 - I recommend you buy it...

Definatly pirate bay...

[HeavenlyRealms0910]

CJD You asked what we think of your studio. Well You have many in one, I like the layout. Like me I like space, and organization. Looks good, like the Older Records On the wall gives a great vintage feel and I think for production for artist and friends and so on it adds to feeling comfortable. I like to teach on how to produce. Love the equipment., Dj ing is fun, you have alot going on. So in regards to your dream don't give up. With passion you will do well I see it. Peace R.J.

[rubentirado09]

GREAT JOB , because your older setup.... hmmmmm NO!!!

[Deet38]

Man,nice Studio!How in the world could afford that Neko XXL?I looked it up and that sucker is off the chain.

[dinemaful]

Nice evolution, thanks for showing this, interesting and helpful

[Egillgun]

Staples easy button at 3:31 :)

[TheSoundminister]

Sitting in the corner will not give you "flat" frequency response. Even with bass traps you still will have some problems. Your desk should be facing your corner if that's where you wan to sit. You will then have the bass trap behind the desk. I used to have a setup like that in my studio in the US.

[rhyskallen]

just realised you have a new studio i like :)

[LiL102ROC]

Your studio is sick bro! GoodWork!!

[Tracks0nDeck]

what kind of preamp you have?

[dakoman0327]

this dude... is fucking awesome and inspiring.

[blewers]

Outstanding video.

[damaineman86]

Man dats a sweet studio!

[daybeatshred]

Lovely Lovely Studio!



[orion756]

sweet studio man !! i am in the process of building my studio and getting it clean and new like yours. Lots of work, but it will be worth it in the long run. I have alot of my gear packed up and cant wait to get it all set up

[TheBassBeater00]

nice studio man, check my channel, and maybe we can make a track together.

The BassBeater

[asaelvega]

God bless you and excellent studio,keep it up

[soundmasterj18]

[johnnyblaze152]

that neko is a piece of junk i had one and sold it two weeks later

[TRIINNOMUZIK]

BRO CAN YOU SEND ME A PIC OR DRAWING OF YOUR TABLE AND WHERE TO GET THE WOOD PLSS

[UKToneKing]

@qkyqky Your a pussy hole, his studio is epic, and it is way better than your's, U have to get some one to beat a tin can because U aint got drums, so beat it douch bag, or and U suck big time, that goes from me and every one else who enjoys good people sharing their time with us, do one and don't bother looking at any more vid's. your a waster

[UKToneKing]

Hey CJDAudio, the BOSS br1200 is on my list, seen them in action and they are great, would U recommend the br1600 ? I only want it for home use really, so it is just a project, plus U can make cds using it at great quality, it has drums and bass as well, does the 1600 have any extras ?

[elisemcculloch]

Hey, need your advice. i just want to record some vocals with guitars and piano's and backing tracks etc. what would be the most proffesional sounding mic you'd suggest for me to get... and how do i go about it working, plug it in the laptop? how much should i look to spend?

thanks Elise

[stoned638]

@CjDAudio you this is dope, do you rap at all?

[simonbjr18]

Congratulations! :) Keep up the good work & wish you the best! :) B. from Hungary. :)

[CHUCKYCASPER1]

I've hella learned a lot from you and appreciate you sharing your knowledge and incite. If we ever crossed paths one day... I'd definitely buy us a cold pack of brewski's cuz you deserve it bro!! Thanks and keep the vids coming!! =]

[ComeupCashTv]

nice studio

[AGOfficialMusic]

How much have you spent on all of your equipment approx.? Thumbs up so he sees this.

[han549]

@AGOfficialMusic well the neko cost 6000$ bucks so...

[BigJyeTV]

Nice setup....pretty cool of you to help some starving artists out too...much props to you bro!

[musikpassion18]

I am getting started on my home studio. and know what your saying music is a passion it's like no matter what I do I always come back to it. I can get a job and make money, but music I love so much. nice job

[skychains]

greaat man yeah!!!

[Douken]

Cool story bro!

[VisionOnDuty]

Nice setup fam

[RasputinsVision]

Wanna know how to be able to afford a lot of gear.......simple..don't make babies man, and buy all the toys for yourself!

[DVCPhung]

@CjDAudio what kinda vsts does the neko come with? just wondering. Thanks!

[KaitlinManseyMusic]

<3 cubase 6! its soooooo good!!

[tomiromi007]

wonderful man! i am so happy for you...i wanna do the same studio in my hoouse but i cant afford it :( , i wish you a lot of succes! peace!....p.s why dont you use logic pro 9??you have imac right?

[dantewood215]

i have the Br1200 i started with the Br864 i think thats what it was called not shure but yea how did you like your BR im having trouble with play back quality when i put a track on a cd is their anyway to upload the track to a PC and work with them from their instead of burning right from the BR if you can help that would be awesome n mad props on your studio im workin on mine too , and did you make a video on how you made your booth cuz im looking into making the same setup as yours

[dcnyc45]

Your studio is gorgeous bro. I've seen your other videos and I recognized you when I happened to run into this video. Keep it up bro.

[MrSalmon88]

all the power to you for being able to have all that gear(no way you got it all by dj gigs)

but yeah what you are doing is cool helping people record and do there thing for free thats great practice, and even though you said money comes first you can tell your at least enjoying music and production.its not bad having parents that support your hobby but the only thing i suggest is when people come at you asking what do i need to get started let them know it doesnt take this much cash to do it.

[patrickjn77]

The new studio looks great. I also loved seeing how your studio's evolved from the first one. Great Vid. (Loved the vid on how to build a studio desk)

[realrawmusic]

your vids look good what kind of camera do shoot with?

[mknyght1]

mike knyght

[KDKlivee]

PUT THE BOOTH TUTORIAL UPP !!!!! THUMBS UP SO HE'LL SEE THIS COMMENT!

[FreedomProductionsz]

It's incredible how far you've come, how long have you been doing this? That neko is beautiful :D

Can I ask what the dimensions are on your desk? How wide/Deep/tall it is?, looking to build something similar myself and some advice would be awesome if you don't mind. Take care and keep doing your passion, dream big man!

[BZdaKritta]

Def Badass - I am basically where u started lol .. Im really into this though and plan on gettin on that lvl. Nice vid come check out my beats lemme know what u think .

[derracsdl]

Oh and by the way are those Athena speaker on your desk??

[derracsdl]

You've definitely improved your studio. Do you use the neko as your main computer now?

[DaGreatTata]

Real nice ... real real real nice

[funkster007]

Nice set up bro. Keep rockin!

[DeRolla816]

u my idol right now homie, my brotha from anotha lol im about at studio 3 right now every time i buy somethin im already ready to upgrade, what pre amp do u use???

[satelliteradio711]

where you are right now is where i aspire to be over the next couple years

you sir are going places and i can only hope my hard work will take me there as well

[PublicNoiseAZ]

Hey pal. Loving your studio. looks really attractive and hard to understand, im kind of new at this buying equipment so i just need your advise abit, Now i have just bought the KRK R6 & M-Audio profire 610 interface and hoping to get Apple Mac Pro with logic, does that seem a pretty decent compatable equipment, because im going to be wanting to transfer my fruity loop tracks into logic to mix them down and redcord my album. Just dont want to make mistake

[Westy196740]

I'm starting out and just recent got my 1st Studio. Great job on what you've done seriously well don!! It will take me much longer I guess with a small family but I'll keep going while I can. Maybe show my progress too (i dont think so!!)

[drewinfinite]

man GOD blessed you with a gift to build your studio is amazing

[kidcard1]

Where you get your money from? Its like you have unlimited funds. Id be happy with some KRK Rockit 5's a Audio Interface and a Microphone.

[kidcard1]

@kidcard1 Because DJing doesnt make that much.

[Robstaxx]

I have the same marshall amp :D

[Playingmuhguitar]

Good video and I wish you the best man!!!!

[803ClarkKent]

What camera did you use to film this? And the studio looks mad professional man. I remember my first home set up. It was basically the CAD GXL2200 kit. Hell, it still doesnt look as good as yours.

[YungCityBoi415]

so with all that equipment you got there, you get that solid professional sound?

[hwynot]

Hey man!

Im on the same way as you go now, a synth, a display etc, etc., and the road gets under way. It's amazing what technology has made possible for us!

- SO STAND ON MAN AND KEEP DOING MUSICPRODUKTION !!!

[iLarsern]

Hello CjDAudio, im new to producing, but have a plan of getting producing kits, and im wondering how you plug the mic in to the pc? Please reply!

[iJoww]

What's your camera? Is it 25p?

[NINOBROWN914]

@qkyqky wow i see who was the one who gave him a thumbs down hater lol

[NINOBROWN914]

good job man keep doin ya thing playboy

[husshodi]

[studiosouthent]

Nice weve been trying to upgrade our studio to a house and get to higher production too.But nice set up

[Jcruzman]

I want to get pro tools so I can start learning the software, what would be the best to get for a macbook pro? Pro Tools 9? LE?

[FelixRHS]

@Jcruzman if you get pro tools 8 le you have to have a m box :(

[junpac]

[duendemagicodelpisto]

I'm pretty much at studio 1 right now, but someday... Thanks for sharing your experience. Greetings from México!

[GangstaFlenn]

Well I think your studios are great. The only thing missing is a bunch of mac pro's and some servers for my taste of a studio :)

[ProfessaKA0S]

dope studio

[Pikermanertjie]

Respect man!! Congrats on all that you have done to reach your goal. I dig your studio setup and am in the process of aquiring all the bits that i need to get mine going. I'm still finding my feet in music production.  You have to start somewhere right?

[GlobalMethodEnt]

@qkyqky Ya!!! Why wast his time. Dude your a loser!! This Studio is epic and prob way better than yours!!

[isorSOT]

@GlobalMethodEnt dude, shut up, just ignore his comment instead of trolling on him, ok?

[CjDAudio]

@qkyqky Do you have a problem with me and my studio, cuz it sure doesn't look like anyone else has a problem. So get a life and dont wast my time!!!
