Bolo is cool as hell. I just saw an interview with Sonny Digital talking about you helped him with MPC . Thank you for what you do for the culture of hiphop. Salute.
Just wanted to say thanks for the positive vibe you bring to the community. Started following your videos a couple months back when I decided to get back to making music. Your videos are easy to watch, the fact that I think you’re from Tampa makes it better too lol thanks again
It’s worth getting one of the summing units. I got the Dangerous Music D-Box for monitoring and summing. Don’t regret it at all. Analog summing is the move.
Very nice Bolo. I´a german Guy and i´m working on it to get a Studio like yours. Cost a hell Money but i wannit! Nice to have Guys like you here o You Tube because i lern every single day! Bless ya!
Wow , i hope to get a fantom 1 day. Thats amazing gear , and after your story last week its well desirved. You never thought about making a short documantery about it ? It was so inspiring/motivative to hear , imagine it to watch.
Sick setup Bolo I appreciate you taking the time to show us and go over everything in detail. I am just rocking my AKAI MPD and M-Audio Keyboard with Reason but I have been making beats for 14 years on and off and have done some random mix tapes. Music is an artform and I feel you need to showcase it and get feedback from peers to truly evolve and it's nice to see the production community and everyone aspiring to make music enjoying your channel and getting inspired. Much Respect -Intricate-
@@johnsmith-ln7niThanks fam, It is what I learned on so I am comfortable with the setup. There is always more you can do for audio and mixing quality with $$$ and room to use it.
Setup is dope bolo, my place is not that big but in the future, I will have a setup of my own. I like your setup especially because it's a simple setup not all Flashy and it looks affordable.
Depending on your home or studio environment dictates how often you have to clean gear. Pests or children and plants tent to lead to alot of dust, also having your set up in your bedroom will also increase the dust. Keep you gear covered in a cloth when not in use, then to clean use a soft brush and vacuum cleaner, then wipe with a cloth with disinfectant ones a week.
Big up the God bolo! I'm really feeling the studio you got some really good quality stuff in there. I admire and respect your skills I just hope you have some kind of surge protection in your main panel. You could get them for like a hundred bucks on the other hand with all that studio equipment I would probably even have 2! Items I like the most are the focal 80 studio monitors also the Neumann ribbon microphone let me tell you these aren't cheap :-)
Morning young man 😊 Thanks for the tour Have been researching how I want to set up my studio I see you only use panels for sound proofing, any particular reason why Have been researching that, also At your advice, I did purchase the Model 12 from zZounds, it was as easy as you said it would be Am looking to mirror your studio to some degree Thanks, again God bless ❤🙏
@BoloDaProducer definitely great content and inspiring.I would love for you to do like a video of like your 1st camera you used to do CZcams videos with and what are some good ones for beginners,your 1st mpc that made your beats sound crisp,and how you balance analog sounds with software sounds because I've heard so many good things about the Apollo interface at this moment I don't get how it makes beats sound professional because I guess its not enough tutorials
You need to put them locking collars on your Onstage stand. Don't want to lose them Flagship synths. I have 3 of them stands. The arms are expensive to buy buy worth it.
Nice studio, Bolo! Last year, I was looking at the MODX (the first one just before the Plus version came out) and really liked the sound of the pianos in it when playing around with it in the store. However, I was trying to get a certain classic tone out of the electric piano (Rhodes) using the chorus effect but I could not dial in the sound exactly the way I could easily in my Korg Nautilus or the Roland Fantom because the MODX chorus lacks those certain parameters that would allow me to precisely dial in that tone I'm looking for. BTW, the pianos in the Korg Nautilus are excellent, both acoustic and electric. Have you ever tried a Nautilus or a Kronos? Other than that, the MODX sounded pretty good. The guitars are amazing on the MODX. However, I'm glad to see the Plus version really improved the build quality and, based on what I heard on the specs, the sampling engine as well. What attracted me to the MODX was the built-in audio interface with multichannel USB audio streaming. Just before that, the Fantom O series was unveiled and it was a no brainer. I went with the Fantom-06 right after it came out, maybe a few months before you bought yours. It is a SWEET synth indeed!!! Plus, it has 16 stereo channels of USB audio streaming. I plan on pairing it with my TR-8S drum machine which also has that feature. However, I really wish my MPC One and my Nautilus also had multichannel USB audio streaming. If Akai and Korg add that feature in a new firmware update, that would definitely be DOPE!!!! Aggregate just those two devices in a computer and track everything out separately in just ONE pass without buying expensive interfaces or running a bunch of cables!!!! You might have to do some latency compensating or line up a few tracks but that's not a problem. Getting the tracks recorded quickly is the most crucial part, in a small compact and portable hardware-based but extremely flexible and versatile one keyboard 'n' drum machine setup. I also have another much larger setup with the MPC X as the centerpiece and a whole bunch of other hardware synths running to a high analog input capacity interface (MOTU 24ai ×2 = 48 analog inputs. That's not including the combined 48 additional channels of ADAT I/O!!!!) straight into Protools. Lots of cables!!! Hehehe. However, I can track everything in one pass.
Knick knacks is what I'm calling my stash from now on famo. 😂 Edit: I imagine Bolo saying: "Naw man, that's my lil 1/8 to 1/4 converters and RCA to 1/4 cables. The bag stay on my person. But okay."
Great setup! Quick question, can you use the tascam mixer as your interface instead of the apollo stuff to playback 12 tracks? Also, how does the mixer sound when recording the synths sounds into the computer?
Peace bro love the setup I see you have the Roland fantom 06 my question to you is how can you sync it to the mpc x when you go to settings it doesn’t have slave/master option instead it has external/internal/ remote I’ve got it to have audio come through the x but can’t record the notes. Peace bro love your content keep it up bro.
Hi Bolo, I'm living in France,Could you give me the name of your White LED lamp, because I'll be interested to buy one or two for my Room. Have a Great day
@@BoloDaProducer I’m looking into getting one but I’m concerned if it will be useful for me. I heard you say you use it with your mpc so I’m trying to figure out how you use it with the mpc. Do you just track the beat to the Tascam then 2 track that mix it to a daw or track it through the tascam and multitrack it to a daw and then mix? Another reason why I wanna see a video on how you actually use it with the mpc and that will help me decide if I’ll purchase one
Hey Bolo, are you connected? I'm about to get in the game something for real, like no one has ever seen, and I'm not even playing...How can I send you some beats. You are one of only a few people on the internet that I can see is sincere with their craft. I ain't got no time for games, and I'm just being brutally honest here. I'm ready to make big moves with this music and art stuff. I'm looking for someone similar to you to do something with. I can't deal with no clowns though, and you aren't no clown. I know you don't know me from a can of paint, and you're probably like who the hell is this guy. I am the one that was supposed to be that guy back in the day, and a long time ago, but drug addiction fucked that all up for decades, but now I take the craft even more serious than, and I know that I can get it on better than Kanye, Timbaland, Dr. Dre, Swizz Beatz, all of these guys that make music, because that's how much confidence I have in my craft, and my music ability, but I am tired of my talent and skill not being heard, applied or recognized in the music and art realm. The Trinity as my witness, glory be. I have too much to give to this world and the arts as a whole to keep it hidden and to myself anymore. I am a from scratch guy with everything that I do, and I do it the synth/drum machine workstation way, and I can see a lot of these other cats, they never even heard of a drum/beat machine, and probably never even used one, let alone heard of one, but yeah Bolo, if you are as serious as I am, I'm here. I don't have too many videos right now, but I have been patiently waiting, more than the song by 50 cent metaphorically, in the background where nobody ever sees. The reason I ask you about being connected is not for clout, approval from others, or to get rich. I just need to get out there by all means, and it is hard to do all of this by yourself. I'm letting my pride down finally, because I am very confident that I can do it all, and even though I know I can, it just gets to be too much, and then I don't do what I know that I can do. Maybe I just need to get this off my chest is all, but damn, I am hungrier for this than a baby who hasn't had nipple in days, and I'm serious as ever too. People think I'm playing, because they play around. I don't. I take the arts and crafts like life itself. If you don't reach out, it's cool, I understand, but if you don't, you're going to regret it later. Not saying this as a threat, but take my word on that. Your videos are an inspiration, but I am an inspiration also, and that's what I want to do more than anything, is show these young cats how it's really done, and change music forever. Thank you for your videos brother Bolo. Take care everybody. You'll be hearing from me sooner or later. I guarantee it, I stand behind it, even if they don't know me anymore than the leader of Pepsi. I'm coming, I'm coming...SBN RESONATE
Nice copy paste message dude, you dont have a clue who Bolo is which is obvious and this message your posting or shall I say SPAMMING on multiple channels comment section. Who do you think you are to say your better then Timbaland lol talk about blow your own trumpet. If you knew anything then you would know that the goal is not to be better then them but to be authentically you. No one cares about how you think your better then some of the most successful people ever in the game, they care about what you bring by your own merit and organaltiy. You could have the best music in the world but you wont get anywhere posting self centered spam like this.
Quick question for you Bolo,im thinking about getting a sub,where do you have the sub woofer going in? Dope studio set ups we on the same wave with gear🔥🔥🔥
Bolo is cool as hell. I just saw an interview with Sonny Digital talking about you helped him with MPC . Thank you for what you do for the culture of hiphop. Salute.

Nice setup Bolo!! That Avalon Tube Pre is a dream of mine...Thanks for the tour Bro!
Nice Bolo. You have the RIGHT TOOLS.
Wow , i hope to get a fantom 1 day. Thats amazing gear , and after your story last week its well desirved. You never thought about making a short documantery about it ? It was so inspiring/motivative to hear , imagine it to watch.
BoLo, my man, you have a great set up thanks for sharing your home studio.
Thanks!
Sick setup Bolo
I appreciate you taking the time to show us and go over everything in detail.
I am just rocking my AKAI MPD and M-Audio Keyboard with Reason but I have been making beats for 14 years on and off and have done some random mix tapes. Music is an artform and I feel you need to showcase it and get feedback from peers to truly evolve and it's nice to see the production community and everyone aspiring to make music enjoying your channel and getting inspired.

Solid setup very wise decisions with the pieces of gear presented in this video truly all you need for production and recording
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing, good luck and take care!!!
Thanks!
Always keepin it real. You deserve all the love my guy!
Thanks!
That’s a tasty set up, Bolo. Love it. Enjoy.
So I can fly up there with my Yamaha Montage and get down. Let me know.
Looks good. I got the same desk and same keyboard stand.
Dope setup! If you call Dangerous, they have a retrofit kit with the black faceplate to match the rest of their stuff.
You're blessed man. That keyboard rack is a 3 headed beast fr.
Thanks Bolo, Tour was great, your studio is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 u blessed king. Salute!
Thanks, Bolo! I just purchased the MPC 61 with your link! I appreciate the hookup!

The ssl big six is dope, you can use it as an interface or analog.
Bro Cable Management made my studio look and feel more professional. It takes a while but it's worth it
This is a real nice set up. Love your channel Bolo.
Wow 3 billion??! Thats sum numbers bro congrats!
Enjoy that
That's very nice my bro looking good
I have an s61. I love it
Bolo echo echo echo 😂 that mixer is crazy!!
Morning young man 😊
Thanks for the tour
Have been researching how I want to set up my studio
I see you only use panels for sound proofing, any particular reason why
Have been researching that, also
At your advice, I did purchase the Model 12 from zZounds, it was as easy as you said it would be
Am looking to mirror your studio to some degree
Thanks, again
God bless ❤🙏
Bolooo💪🏾💪🏾 was waiting for this video.
Sweet set up💪🏾 thanks for showing
Thanks!
Great studio!
Dope! Real dope! I see I need to upscale my analog game. As I said before.. them videos are going to cost me a pretty penny… Aahhh !! Thanks Bolo
so much gear
Where can your work be purchased? Just listened to the Warren G and Morgan Wallen remix…it hits!
That’s from a dj on IG. I added his username to original post on IG 💪🏾

Do you notice any quality difference between the UA and the Audient interfaces?
A little difference but not much. But you do hear more detail
Nice studio bro. I have been upgrading my studio to. About to make some noise in Cartersville Georgia. This summer.
