He's got more gear than the average Guitar Center.
He's got more gear than I have for sure! 🤣
My Gc is also empty. What’s going on with them? That place no longer motivates me to shop in store.
Rick's also smarter than yer average bear. Btw, does anyone have an extra ticket for me to go on 30th March in London??? Ill pay of course! I fecked up n' missed out and its currently saying on-line that his gig's sold out ☹
Went through a phase where I'd only buy red guitars. I figured if my wife saw a red guitar, she'd assume it was one I already had and not a new one. So far so good. It even works with bass guitars!
Mastermind !
Shhhh not too loud you’ll give us away😂
lol
😂
I have a friend with G.A.D. (guitar acquisition disorder) . He uses similar tactics with his wife. 👍
I’d love to see a video where you produce a song with a band in your studio from start to finish :)
WOW! That's incredible! How you were able to look like you walked INTO the green screen, was amazing! That's some serious special effects to be able to make it look like your studio is so large. Kudos to your special effects guy on making it look so seamless, so realistic.
The stark change in audio quality when walking from the garage to the control room is amazing. Of course it's nothing surprising but it's evidence of a really well built studio. That was super interesting, cheers Rick
It was especially crazy when he walked from the live room into the iso booth at the beginning. Just utterly dead sounding, in a good way.
@@rome8180 iI thought the same thing
Was about to mention the same thing. Definitely a good damping.
It really is that simple, though- the differential between the two. You nailed it- it’s how you know someone took the time (and BIG $) to build a PROPER studio
@@nikkomorgan same same...👍
I'd imagine that any musician who truly loves the craft of making music, if they are successful enough, will eventually have their own studios.
Definitely at least SOME decent level of recording gear.
I wont say if I win lotto but there will be clues 🤣
@@InfinityDsbm same
Hey, that’s all the beauty of collecting over the years
I bought an old church instead of a purpose-built house specifically as a cheaper option than building a studio outright. hell, it was cheaper than buying a regular house even after renovations.
Ah building a studio. I built my home studio, which I use for personal use only. It took a long time as well, yet I truly appreciate every aspect of it because I used my own hands. Building isolation boxes for each recessed light, to custom built door frames to accommodate the thicker walls. Today, when someone comes in they see a nice polished studio having no clue whatsoever, as to what is behind the walls, door frames, ceiling etc. It was a labor of love.......
Watching studio tours like these make me wonder how much cleaning you have to do occasionally Rick, would love to see a follow up vid of how you keep everything in pristine condition!
I think the key is to have an assistant
Rick, you're the only youtuber who I feel is genuinely worth doing a behind-the-scenes video. Very cool gear! Great video!
Tim Weber, 4 get "green screen", that mystery door by all rights should've been "green". I might B revealing My age.
Love Rick's work and I'm also liking the update videos of Rhett's basement studio
Watching a time lapse of Alex Michael (Conspiracy Music Guru) build his studio is quite gratifying and awe inspiring. The new studio for Martin Molin of Wintergatan is nice but there is no video (yet) of it being built.
Hahahaha you’re so right!
I would pay money to spend a whole day in that studio. Just playing all those guitars through all those amps and whatever else caught my eyes and ears. What a magnificent space. The fruits of a life time all in one area. Magic
what you describe is literally what this studio was built for :D paying money to spend a whole day there, playing all those guitars and amps and whtever else caught your eye. (up until Rick started doing youtube full time)
sameeeeeee eheh
@@tehultimateshreddar I''m glad you addressed this... They literally described the value of a studio
There's easily over a million dollars worth of gear there. Amazing...
A ton of work and good taste has gone into that studio. Very inspiring.
Awesome tour! Your studio is comprised completely of choice pieces of bucket list equipment. That said, for those of us that won’t have Dave, a successful KZhead channel and a lifetime to acquire this treasure, can you do a desert island list of your gear? The things that would be must haves to build a studio if you could only have one and had to start all over again from scratch. Would you have done anything differently? Also, what was it about the Mac Studio that you were having issues with?
it nto nucketr,s it is elect guitares an dsstramplifiers!

The transformation from regular garage space to world class studio completely boggles my mind. I can’t even begin to imagine all the work that went into that 🤯
Man I’m just so EFFEN impressed with the fact that you have had so much equipment, and the Variety of the things that you have collected through the Years
Incredible and I’m loving it all
Your amazing lighting makes the background look like a green screen setup. Awesome studio, Rick.
seeing all the wonderful gear really made my day!! lots of the older stuff brought back some great memories from my teenage years!! thank you so much for sharing!!
Rick, that is an incredible studio. Thank you so much for the tour. There was definitely a lot of thought, passion, and hard work that went into that build.
Something tells me that your KZhead success (which is more than rightfully deserved) stands on the graves of countless albums not being recorded in this fantastic studio.
Top 20 electric studios of all time. Coming in at number 1, Rick Beato.
More power to you Rick, you deserve all this and more, much respect.
Thanx Rick, see you Saturday in Seattle!!
Love it. You could do a year's worth of videos on just your pedals.
Yes, there are some gems among them.
In my mind I feel like there should be this line of other great artists at your door wanting to record a track for a composite album from “The Beato Studio”. The level of authenticity and love for music that exists in people and places like you is what keeps art alive.
This is absolutely incredible. What an insane amount of gear!
Wow! Simply WOW! Absolutely mind-boggling!!
You mentioned the snares and drums you didn't care for as they "didn't work". As a non-musician i would love to hear the difference between drums that worked and drums that didn't. I am friends with musicians and the nuance is lost on me. I love this channel as Rick is so good at describing what makes things great.
As someone who has just recently got into learning how to record but has played in bands for many years, that would actually be a really cool video to see. Just to watch the process of going through drums for a song until they find the right one
I totally agree, that would be interesting. But I can imagine what would work and what wouldn't work. As I have been around many drummers , and I have heard a few crappy drum sets, but many drummers don't know how to tune the drums, and when you hear a tuned drum set, it sounds nicer, more crisp while an untuned drum set will be more raw in your face
@@bluzedogg it's not the wand, it's the magician. still, it helps to have a nice wand!
Listen to metallicas saint anger and you’ll see
Dude you are such an inspiration. You're the living proof that a profession in the music industry is not limited to being a stadium rock star or a violinist in an orchestra
As always, what an amazing human been ! What a pleasure to see the happiness and proud of someone that really understands and loves music so much ! You rock Rick !
Recently stumbled across the channel. Love where u are coming from, your skill, your delivery, all of it. Personality is key. 👍🏻
Don't give me the "old guy" stuff Rick.. You rock my man and I love your studio. Mine is currently under construction - so excited. Thank for the tour and inspiration!!
With all the instruments and processing gear it still comes down to the acoustics of the room. You definitely built an amazing space.
Rick out here sitting on well over $1M in a lifetime collection of gear. What a great setup!
Your studio is a playground for guitarists. Magnificent
Congratulations for all your successes Rick, you deserve it!
Awesome to see behind the scenes and the history of it! Definitely a dream!
Awesome! My dad had a studio in the extra room in the basement. Called it the “Naughty Room” due to the nonzero amount of tequila that would fuel Friday night jams. It was, set up both for playing live (I was usually tasked with lugging all the crap up the steps when they’d play out) and recording, multi track cassette at first. Lots of the coolest gear amateurs could buy in the 80s and 90s. Most of his friends were use to just picking acoustic guitars in living rooms but could blow the walls off the house down there. Most Friday nights growing up I fell asleep listening to music coming up through the vents... Some of the most fun I’ll ever had I had jamming with my dad down there when I started playing guitar.
Rick, awesome studio brother...thank you for the tour. Very inspiring. 🙌🏻
Congratulations man. That is a big accomplishment getting something that cool together.
Hurray for Billy...the unsung (pun intended) hero!
Thank you, he loves your work. And says I wish I had a teacher like Mr.Beato....
Rick, the amount of guitars, pedals, amps and other gear you've amassed is just overwhelming - and none of it is run-of-the-mill stuff. Not to mention the studio itself and all of microphones, etc. It's like a dream I'd love to step into! And I love your videos - always informative and interesting. Keep up the good work!
There's a night and day difference with the Before and After, really love what you've done!
Wow, every corner is packed with amazing gear with history. I wish I could get something like that someday.
That studio is heaven on earth man.... It's huge ....with so much gear and instruments.... Really cool place
Thank you for the tour. I'm blown away at how cool it looks and your many amps.
Finally Rick! Ever since I started watching your channel I have loved the studio and wanted to hear all about it.
What a great tour, Rick! The layout is so cool, and your kit variety is stunning. It rekindled my own childhood memories of putting together a rudimentary studio in my own home. Really well done. A must-watch for any music/production nerd.
Super cool ROCKIN' Studio tour. For anyone that had any doubts about Rick's true passion for music, all that gear speaks for itself. Keep on Rockin' Rick!!!!!
One thing I always wanted to write in a comment is why I always loved your videos beside the music... Reason being how cozy and relaxing looks your studio... the low yellow light, warm brown colors and of course amps and guitars everywhere makes watching your videos a real pleasure.
Amazing Rick ! It's like a time machine. Much respect for the work you have achieved. You can be proud !
What an amazing studio Rick. You have some choice pieces of gear. It looks like an incredible space. Every bit deserved. Awesome 👍
Wow, Rick's studio is an honest to goodness paradise on earth, i would be lost in just pure bliss for weeks hanging out there
This is cool. I always wondered what the rest of your studio looked like when watching your awesome videos. Rock on Rick. 🎼🎸
I love music, musical instruments and attempting to play them, I also love construction and building. I love your musicianship, your incredible musical ability and your all round knowledge of music, and now, I also love your studio! There’s a reason I subscribe and listen to you.. you are a special individual who I’ve cherrypicked and have put into my select (canon) repository of truly inspirational people. Great work, Rick 👍
My favorite drum overhead mics. Pzm mics stuck together on a small plate hanging above the drummer's head, pointing down at the kick drum. The small plate ensures the mics only pick up the higher frequencies. It has a perfect stereo image.
I love this old guy, Rick. 🙌🏻 And I love your studio. Although "studio" doesn't describe it by far! It is more a musicians paradise. Love it.
Rick, Hello from South Korea! Your studio is a Dream Studio! It's beautiful! Congratulations on your accomplishments and thank you for sharing with us!
You go the distance to record with all kinds of talent and gear...amazing!
Man Rick, First off super cool video. Second, In my opinion I think one of the reasons you have had so much success is the fact that you're so humble. It's truly refreshing and appreciated. Studio is incredible man. Can't praise you enough🙏🙏🙏🙏👍🎸🎶🎵
Love the before and after pics. Beautiful studio.
4 m9nths well spent...that is a beautiful, wee laid out studio. Beautiful...and the gear!!
Rick, thank you for this AWESOME video. I indeed was one of the many that thought your background was green screen, but before today when I had previously commented on an older video someone replied and told me the truth as you're showing us here. Beautiful, beautiful studio, and your lighting and camera are EXCELLENT for keeping both your background and foreground perfectly in high definition focus!
Awesome studio Rick!! Congrats 👏👏🔥
I love how you intimately know every component, every door, wall, cable... you really put your soul there, and it's no wonder that magic comes out of it.
I have waited a very long time for this. Great video Rick! Much love from Sweden.
What an excellent studio! That was clearly tons of hard work and a team effort to get that done. I would love to just be able to record in such a grand studio! Great job!
It's nice to se behind the scenes. Your passion really shows through both in your content here on KZhead, but also in the gear and stories behind. Everything has a story, a purpose and place in creation. The almighty father of music understanding and creation. Rock on!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Rick’s videos are always so fun and interesting. Keep up the great work!!
Amazing..No words to define this studio ,the equipaments and the owner's geniality.
Reminds me of my studio that I built years ago! I built mine inside an industrial metal building! Using the "room in a room" technique. Had a much smaller control room. The studio was pre digital, so the biggest multi-track I had was a Tuscan 8 track. I rented rehearsal time as well as demo recordings, also had classes on recording! It took two 6' stacks of sheetrock!! I chose the name Emerald City.
You Stacked your sheet rock double thick?
Those Dunlop Max Grips are truly awesome. When I bought my most recent guitar from Sweetwater at the end of last year, my sales engineer threw in a pack of them, gratis. Totally unexpected. I had made a very brief passing remark over the phone that I was no longer happy with any of my picks, and he remembered! Smart sales guy, because I fell in love and have bought several more packs since then.
Thank you for sharing Rick, this was awesome! You have such a beautiful & inspiring space.
Simply beautiful Rick. What a dream space to work in!
Good god, Rick! VERY impressive! Including all the instruments and gear, that's a million dollar setup right there! Damn near, anyway!
I was thinking the same. I bet it's more though if you count everything in there, it's almost priceless! WOW!!!!
Looks great Rick! You explain things really well, would it be possible that you could do a video how the full signal chain works in a professional studio? Something a little more in depth than just Guitar>audio interface>computer…😂
Thank you for sharing your studio with us Rick absolutely love this video.
Ricks videos are the only ones that I immediately click the like button as soon as the video starts...... I have never been wrong yet ...... Its Ricks good nature and good heart that combined with his insane knowledge and talent that make him special iMO ...... If you are a Music Executive you need to get Rick signed up as a VP_ or something, for real .......... he would be perfect .....
The "green screen" effect comes from the fact that your studio lighting isn't the same color temperature at you video lighting. You'll either need to add gels or buy lights with color adjustments for the video lights.
STAGGERING collection of amps! Would love to know if all have been used and how much is as a collection almost. I’m guessing it’s good to give bands such a huge choice anyway. I thought I had a pretty comprehensive keyboard rig but your collection of guitars just blitzes it. As someone who’s worked in London in music for many years, only one word…impressed. I really didn’t think there was much more to the studio than the backdrop and the vocal booth. How wrong I was!
This is not a studio…this is heaven on earth
Love your stuff. Have you ever considered doing an episode on David Lindley? Looking at all of your instruments makes me think it would be a good fit.
Great video, Rick. So glad you've shared this with us. I'm curious, how tall are your rooms? They generally look built off 8-foot tall framing. If so, what limitations have you encountered in those spaces?
What an amazing vision and accomplishment. You are amazing and inspiring.
I luv seeing studio tours especially private home studios where you get to see the character of the owner/operator on display!! Every studio has its own thing going on and its always about the sound sound sound or ears ears ears ....I don't care how we get a good sound only that we get it and in a timely fashion, your knowlege base gets you there quickly so the creativity can start flowing!!! Excellent tour Mr. Rick!!!
Wow. The money he has wrapped up and all that equipment is truly unreal
I wonder what the insurance costs on that place?
@@thebarf9235 Blimey wow god knows!
Its actually a savvy investment, he enjoys it, lives from it and as they come vintage it increases the value
@@thebarf9235 great question. I'm sure it is included in his homeowners insurance just wonder if he needs a special add-on for it or not
@@markwarren250 homeowners insurance doesn't cover art, jewelry or musical instruments. It's a huge premium to cover that much gear. As this is a commercial operation he has to have a business owners policy for fire and liability plus additional coverage for the gear.
What an amazing amount of equipment. I'd love to know if your ears are so tuned that you can tell the difference among, say, all the amps. Or if it's an indulgence because why not have ALL the guitars if you can afford it?
And he says what we see is _after_ a big sell-off.
Well it's also 25 years of collecting gear - he's had a lot since he started producing in the early 2000s.
@@TimV93 If I had kept everything Ive bought since the late 80s guitars amps, recording gear mics etc it would be twice as much as shown here.. but hey gotta pay the bills sometimes haha. I started doing a list once of all the guitars Ive owned and stopped at 100 now its 7 or 8
This was great, I loved watching this behind-the-scenes look at his studio and just spending a day there would honestly be the coolest thing ever
Wow, you certainly don't do things by half, Rick! 😮 So much of your gear is so good - it's THE sign of a true music professional! Congratulations on an amazing studio and the best music appreciation channel on KZhead!👏👏
Always wanted a studio tour video. How about a typical day in the life of Rick Beato video?
I just took out a loan on a new building to build an even bigger studio. You give me hope that I can achieve something big
Rick, LOVE this video! Thank you so much for sharing!
Heaven on Earth! Bravissimo Rick!
I am wondering, have you ever tried a price estimation of all these gear, amps, guitars, etc? I am excluding the building costs. OK, you have a dream channel with over three million viewers and almost half a billion views, but even so, this is incredible. Many many thousands of bucks gear. My admiration and compliments for this great job you are doing. RESPECT
Didn’t realize how far back your green screen went😊
What an honor and pleasure to be able to see it all. Thank you!
Rick your a billionaire Unbelievable !!! Your years of commitment to achieving perfection to our ears is amazing. Thank you
Rick first a huge thank you a Hug to your wife she has to be an incredible partner when I look at your very professional studio and equipment I can tell your wife loves you and supports your talents Reminds me of Jay Leno’s garage and his Noah’s arc of cars Like I said a big thank you to your wife and family Really a wonderful tour I’ve been in so many post production a production audio companies in Hollywood LA Santa Monica Seattle WA Yours is in the top tied with the other greats Thank you for making this video It’s 10 stars out of 5 stars Best wishes always from Las Vegas Craig Bravo 👏🏻
Thank you Las Vegas Craig, very cool!
Awesome studio Rick! If I filmed the entirety of my home studio setup it would be around 5 minutes!
Mine would be even less. It would be “Here is the garage. On the workbench next to the vise are a set of monitors and an audio interface. The rest of the room, a garage full of house stuff.” 30 seconds.
mine could be done in a picture all my stuff is in the corner of my room organized
Love that you're still rocking the Event monitors. I've had a set for almost 20 years and still love them!
Amazing video Rick, thank you I really mean it I admire you very much and you´re not an old guy it´s your body that gets all the years you lived, you´re eternal now my friend!!!
What a great space, and stuffed with great gear. I have to ask...No synthesizers? Or are you a DAW guy?
