Welcome to the space where my melodies come to life. I wanted to share an intimate look behind the scenes at my home recording studio, the instruments, and the creative environment where every Derek Samuel Reese song begins.

It has truly become a dream setup. I am currently running a world-class, high-end monitoring and conversion system on par with top-tier commercial studios. Over the years, I have owned several studios and tested, bought, and sold a significant amount of gear.

Today, I have streamlined my setup to include only the essential pieces needed to make incredible recordings.
