Update pix of my humble studio (400+k)

[pdlstl]

Here are the latest pix of my little one room tracking facility.

More in second post.

Enjoy!

[mshilarious]

You've got a video connection to a tracking room? That is sweet. Really I think everybody should go that route, saves a lot of trouble in design.

[RICK FITZPATRICK]

If its one room, what is the video for? Looks great though. I bet you have a lot of fun there. Do YOU play? What is the mixer on the desk?

[pdlstl]

It's probably not as sophisticated as it appears.

Tracking/recording is all done in this room. Since I have my back to the tracking, I have the video to watch what's going on behind me. This little setup is wired and was $50.

However, you can get a wireless cam setup for $99 in case you have a separate tracking room. I have a large closet in this room which will become a nice iso booth sometime after the first of the year. I'll go wireless then.

[pdlstl]

Yes, I play (mandolin for 3 years, pedal steel for 27 years).

The "mixer" is a Mackie Control Universal to handle SONAR.

This is a working facility and I currently have 4 full-CD projects going on.

*On edit - I only record acoustic projects, bluegrass, Celtic, folk, etc. so the one room setup works just fine for me.

Thanks. Thats cool, good idea. Plus if you record the video you have a record to refer to later if needed. I have a small video set up with two cameras and two monitors also(plus I watch two different cable programs in my studio ) but I haven't set up the camera system yet.

Yes, I play (mandolin for 3 years, pedal steel for 27 years).

Pedal steel for 27 yrs? How cool. I LOVE pedal steel. I used to play in a country band with a steel player, fiddle(doubled on electric mandolin). I haven't followed country in long time though. Any new steel players that are hot? I still love to listen to Emmons though. His jazz stuff blew me away. What a fat tone. Anyway, I like your setup. Very nice.

hmmmmmm. Fort Worth huh. No wonder! OH.....pdlstl..I GET IT NOW

Well, I was referring to the video setup.

But ya' know what? It's really all about making recordings. And I'll bet you have a ball doing that!

Ok all 3 of us have the same desk, so what gives with the 330.00?? Where in the heck did you find it for that price? I paid 499.00+Tax at GC (cherry color desk). I searched all over and GC was the only place I could find it.

Anyways sweet setup, we have very similar setups. I want the avalon though. lol avalon m5?? Along with a 737. Next month I will have one of them not sure which one yet.

[EdWonbass]

Very nice looking room. I am inspired by how professional it looks. I'm going to do a little remodeling after the holidays to try and make my room/garage more workable.
I think if my studio space was half as nice as yours I would spend more time out there.

[pdlstl]

PT User: Well, GC sells it for $499. I get a pro discount which got me down to $399, They loaded the wrong box in my truck and gave me an extra $70 off because I had to return it and get the correct one. BTW, I wish I had the cherry but it wasn't even available when I bought mine. I think this is the best desk I've owned (and I've had several) as far as knock down studio furniture goes. The 8 sturdy casters makes it a breeze to pull out in order to make cabling changes!

Also, I'm tax exempt.

EdWonbass: Part of the deal is having a space which is comfortable and always setup and ready to go. You will find it's always easier to just fire everything up when the mood hits you.

In my case, I don't get to record myself much but there's always mixing to do on client projects.
