STUDIO PORN (PICS ONLY!!!)
 

Just thought I'd steal an idea from another forum...and seeing as we have alot of new members, I though it would be nice to check out everyones place of creativity

So, brief descriptions (if necessary) and NO TEXT ONLY REPLIES!!!! I need gear porn

Here's mine:

Wow to all of you.

S'not fair!

NOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo........

I think we need to give up on the idea of a PIC ONLY thread, i's just not gonna work!!!

Damn you Drammy :lol: Damn you to HELL :twisted:

P.S your sins will be forgiven if you edit your post and include a pic..

Tarekith what are the blue blocks you have used to put your monitors on? at the moment im using breeze blocks :( yours look kinda neat.

It's stacked sheets of maple, glued and screw together, and then covered in blue fabric. One top of that are Auralex MO'Pads, which actually do work IMO.

There are spikes on the bottom of the maple blocks to help decouple it from my desk.

Cost like $15 at Home Depot to make.

Cheers for that, I have the mo pads. Im not much of a DIY'er so what you are saying is get little blocks of wood and stack them on top of each other yeh?

How about the fabric? how did that attach?
lol

Fabric was stapled to the bottom where you can't see it.

Got it 8) Cheers

LOL - so much for a pics only thread :)

Not even worth Juho sticking them back togther now as its a complete disaster - lol :)

Oops, I thought this was the talking thread, not the picture one. We just need a straight-up gallery...

Yeh sorry about hijacking this thread :oops:

Maybe the admin should install the gallery mod would be alot easier :)

Don't let it get to you Jase....

Just so you know I undertand what you are trying to do here, I'll post a pic in support.

Bwwwwaaaaahahahaha!!!!!

im glad you understand mate...and that pic really helped the pain of seeing my glorious thread go down the tubes

Nice setups everyone. Will post a new one of mine in a few days!! :)

Cool Setup Mr e!

And here's my latest addition....

heres my place. oops sorry that was text.

mr.e: Why both Virus C and Virus Powercore?

Sweet setup! What is the monster synth under the Andromeda???

I dunno ...Its a long story but now i'm actually happy having both and I find good use for my virus poco unlimited license !! ;)



soundsubs nice place man!!!

underneath the andromeda is the Kurzweil K2500xs
i had my father make wooden end pieces for it. it adds about 20lbs. oh well. its not exactly portable anyways.

im surprised no one has mentioned the Simpsons painting i have in the studio.

sub: I was going to ask what the mixing desk was. What mixing desk is that dude?

the desk holding the mixer is an Argosy console. i really love it, although its obviously too huge for the room. i used to have a 1604 in its side space, but thats been sold.

one of the biggest and best changes i made about 6 months ago was to move the monitors to over so that they are pointing at me instead of on the desk, like a proper studio

http://www.argosyconsole.com/

mine is the 7032-R

So the one in the picture is that still there and what is it (the mixer itself)?

oh, sorry.

thats just a mackie 32.8

wow this company makes some nice tables

agreed, it puts my $15 garage sale table to shame.

Really nice room you have there Soundsubs!

sweet place.

2 questions:

1> is that a rack attack under the pulse?

2> is that the dell 2496 monitor? do you like?

bonus: tell me the allure of the xt K? (besides the knobs)--- ive always felt like im missing something with waldorf synths, i just dont like their sound, but maybe im not trying hard enough.

wait, no access products?

It's Waldorf MicroQ. I always felt that the Rack Attack wasn't important. I also tried the software version and didn't like it much.

It's Dell 2405FPW. It's imo very good. Altough the panel is "only" 16ms (like the 20" viewsonic), both panels beat many new panels which are 8ms or even 3ms! The best trick to test the panel speed is to drag an internet browser windows (for example) with a mouse and see if the picture stays clean and whether there's shadow or not. If a panel is not so good, the picture and especially fonts start flickering easily.

It's hard to explain but I have liked waldorf as a company and their synths for a long time and Pulse was a synth which I always wanted and was lucky to get one of the last Pulses ever sold.

I read a review of the XTk from SOS magazine and decided that some day I will purchase one. So I got this one second hand 2 weeks ago. I was quite surprised by the sounds it can make. Waldorf synths sound very digital (except Pulse) but they can make some very beautiful sounds. I use them for some distorted and heavily filtered sounds, some pads and about anything. I feel that my productions sound more interesting if I use more synths and especially Waldorf synths can give a very different sound character if I need it. I wouldn't recommend a Microwave XTk or Q keyboard as your only synth but if you already have some other synths, they give you totally different kind of sounds and make your music more interesting. :)

No pictures but I have 2 TC Powercore PCI mk2's running the virus plugin.

sweet place!!!

thos dynaudios look sweet,

trying to save up for a pair of BM5a ATM.

The BM5A's are great monitors, altough sound very different compared to these BM15's. I had a pair of BM5A's earlier. :)

Cool,i have got to listen to them.

F5D! Great looking setup you have going there. What a range of colours!

8)

Thats something Im sorely lacking in my studio! Every synth I own is black, like my heart :twisted:

Well, the Juno 60 does give a splash of colour, but not enough...

You must have if you want to produce rainbow trance! :lol:

:wink:

btw, you all seem to have nice setups too! :)

F5D! Your pics dont work for me :( The links show up as broken.

Anyhow, here is my setup exactly 1 year ago:



Since then, I've moved it out of my bedroom and into my roommy basement. That and I've ditched the Bass Station Rack.
