Room #2 would be my choice. Here's some quick ideas that might help. Super chunks in front corners. Door on the side not bad, angled back side wall could be copied to the opposite side with sheetrock, making symmetry easier. The cubby area would be nice for deep rear wall trap. Run room...

Miner Was looking at your room and had a few ideas you can consider. Moving the desk over towards the window side of the room might help in a few ways. Since the room is small, low frequencies should be a problem with mixes, but the opposite end of the room does have the closet and entry door...

Looking for suggestions for amps to power passive monitors in my home studio. What have you used or are currently using and what do you like or dislike about the amp? Thanks for the help!

Does anyone know if the Akai MPC Element can be used to trigger EZ Drummer 2? Looking for an easy plug & play set-up to work with EZD2. Thanks!

I went with a two rack design on casters to support the desk. Plenty of storage space and an excellent way to hide the patchbay too. Its 73 1/2" wide x 41 1/2" deep including end caps and the armrest. Hidden behind the right rack door is a 1/4" 96 point patch bay and an available 8RU for...

+1 I'd like to have them all too. Still lovin my JVM1, wish I never sold the DSL1 too. Good to hear yours is rocking well. I've been getting heavy into my Eleven rack, there's some awesome new presets I've been fooling with, Soldano & Mesa B MII's, pretty radical stuff. There's a huge 11R...

Home Depot sells some nice ball bearing drawer slides with 100lbs+ ratings that are great to make a computer keyboard slide out shelf unit instead of just a storage box. Lowes also has good stuff too. I built my own desk, its a little more different design than the desk you've shown...

Great DAW, sounds nice, looks nice, easy to get around and fast. Been using my DP24 for the past 6 months and it been working great so far. My only gripes about it are it only has two effect sends and no ability to connect to a larger monitor screen. If Tascam released a new unit with three...

The "warden", lol I know that feeling! You're correct about the tubes, I have the GE82's in those two sideways slots like the amp came, so I guess my idea of V3 was the tube slot at the end furthest from V1, understand? lol I got em right, thanks :guitar: Charvels? Yeah I got a bunch of them...

No doubt about that, the AXE FX stuff is King right now. If I weren't building the acoustics of my room I would budget for one too. Right now I'm tracking a lot with the Eleven Rack (AKA: Poor mans AXE) Its pretty good and very quiet too. I'm digging the on-line support group forums and...

I had both the DSL1 & JVM1 combos, each had a slight edge over the other, but all in all they're very close in tone. I ran the same tube set-up in both, RCA 12ax7's long gray plates in V123 and GE 12au7's in v45 positions. After a few months of playing thru both amps, decided I only needed one...

You could consider the "Eleven Rack", made by Avid. Is a very cool unit, very clean sounding and pretty affordable. I have one in my desk for those times I don't want to mess with the Marshall & mics. Has plenty of amp sounds, many are very realistic sounding and the best things about the Eleven...

Nice desk build, totally agree, its nice to build your desk around your needs and desired work flow. Very cool design, looks kinda "Star Trek". Cool thread. Just finished up my 1st desk, a little more basic than yours, but with the current equipment I'm using I went with an "ergo" work flow...

You can consider a DP24 or 32 unit. AD converters sound good, plenty of tracks, has virtual/alternate track recording within each track too. The DP24 is easy to use and records on SD cards, here's my rig.. so far. Was thinking of going with a MOTU/computer rig, but didn't want to fool...

Thank you very much! I'm trying to make the room easy to work in and kind of open feeling. There's plenty of wires and I'm soldering more every day, lol I wanted to hide the patch bay, so its behind the door. A look behind the desk, and you can see my mess...... Just trying to keep it...

Thanks for the props!! Yes, I love those made in Japan Charvel. The craftsmen at the old "Gaki" factory made some of the finest "shred" guitars. A friend of mine had an old Charvel "Model 1A" (basically a MIJ Strat copy with a compound radius neck & jumbo frets) and after playing it for a...

+1 I was looking at building a rig using the Tascam X48MKII unit and a more conventional board, may still go down that road in the future. For now, my home studio is working pretty nice with just the DP24, it sounds pretty good for the money, could use a few more effect sends, but for the...

Right now I have seven Charvels and always hunting for more!

Here's my new rig, made the custom desk to try to streamline workflow. Room acoustics is next on the agenda. Any advice or tips are welcome! The 4x12 Cab is going in the garage and the desk will be centered. Need to know how far away from the back wall the desk & speakers should be. Will...
