I've been hunting for desk ideas...(https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=189445) and hence was wondering - is there a photo gallery on the forum (or elsewhere) where I can look through pictures of people's studio's? I sure would help me get an idea of what others are using for desks...

I'm hunting a studio desk (about ~40" wide) that will allow me to put my computer monitor, small mixer, (2) monitors, and other small accessorys on it (i..e no piano keyboard or rack stuff needed - it's off to the side). The trick is that I'd prefer NOT to have a shelf so commonly seen (and...

I'm looking for a table (or perhaps a desk) to set perpedicular to my actual studio desk. My biggest constraint is that is CANNOT be longer than 44" (due to wall&bed). I would prefer it to be ~25" high and 20" deep. So many things are 48" long, which has made it tough. Short of making...

I've been doing a lot of reading on acoustic treatment for rooms. Like so many of us, I'm limited on what I can do to the room I'm in - so I was wondering... If I'm recording my amp with a couple of mic's close up (57 and MD421), could I "trick" the room into sounding better if I put a piece of...

Saw this thread - https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=104936&page=1&pp=25&highlight=cable+management - but the eBay links were (understandably) expired. I'm looking for 1) recommendations for cable management and 2) some pictures of well-executed cable management. I'm particularly...

So - I just got my MD421 a week ago and hadn't been happy with the sound... I was just browsing the royer website and realize maybe I'm doing something pretty stupid.......... I was holding the microphone upright (so it was pointing towards the ceiling) but according to the picture below, I...

I've seen people using some type of peg to tilt back their amp. My goal is to prop up my amp about 6" off the floor and tilt it back about 30 degrees (Fender Hot Rod Deluxe). I realize this screams DIY, but I'm limited on materials & tools... Anyone know of a product that would do the trick?

I live in an NYC apartment building and really can't afford to get evicted. I'm finding that to get the good tone & good signal level out of my hot rod deluxe, it's just too loud - especially later at night. I'm trying to explore my options - and I've heard I could use an isolation box. I've...

I'm looking for a condenser mic to record electric guitar though a fender hot rod deluxe (setup is a firebox (soon to buy a preamp for it) through an iMac G5. I originally bought a Sennheiser MD421 but am unhappy with how it records on the firebox (I have to turn the gain WAY up and have...

First off, thanks to everyone on this forum! The help is much appreciated. I just set up my firebox with my sennheiser MD421 on my iMac / Garageband. I'm recording a fender hot rod deluxe; the amp isn't too loud - it's at a comfortable playing level. Anyways, I'm concerned because I have to...

I feel like I'm missing something obvious here.. But I just installed my firebox on my iMac - and if I plug my electric guitar in directly, it works OK. However, when I plug in my (brand new) Sennheiser 421 (xlr cable) I get no sound. It's like I'm missing the "on" button on the microphone...

I was thinking about keeping it simple with an SM57, but I've heard good things about Marshall's new microphones? http://www.musiciansfriend.com/rec/navigation?N=100001+304625+202555&Ne=1124&page=1 Does anyone have any experience or recommendations? I'm open to anything - and have a budget up...
