Step inside Bainz’s studio and discover the finely tuned setup behind some of the biggest hits in modern hip hop. In this video, Bainz's longtime assistant engineer, Aresh, walks us through the gear, the layout, and the workflow that keep the mixes flowing under pressure.
From monitoring systems to analog chains, Aresh breaks down how every piece of gear has its place, and purpose. You'll see how smart studio organization, custom presets, and ergonomic design make a world of difference when time is tight and expectations are sky-high.
You’ll also get a look at the studio’s constantly evolving setup: plugins and hardware are tested daily, so what you see today might not be here next week.
Aresh also presents the studio desk at the heart of their workflow, showing how its layout supports fast, intuitive decisions during high-stakes sessions. Between custom presets, ergonomic design, and tight integration of analog and digital tools, it’s all about staying fast, focused, and flexible.
