Studio pics

[Richard Monroe]

Yay! It may not be much of a studio, but it's *my* studio. Pics are up on a link off the project page of www.bardwire.com. Comments welcome. After some of the dedicated construction I've seen on this forum, I have to say I'm a little intimidated.- Richie

Richard,

Thanks for the pics! It's about time someone else put some pics of their studio in here....

It looks great to me and you have some nice gear to! Love that Guitar Pod!

Is that part of your home?

Thanks again,

RF

Oh yeah, Rushfan, that's my basement. The vocal booth closes off, and works better than you would think. I knew it would work when I closed it off and the jerk with the Harley across the street was gone! It may not look like too much, but you should have seen it when I started. BTW, I'm one of the few, the proud, who doesn't ust the POD as a direct box. I jack it into a Carver PM125 power amp, and then into the Marshall cab, and mic it up. It works vastly better than the POD as a DI.-Richie

Very nice Richie. I see you're a fellow Taylor owner!

Nothing wrong with that Richard! It looks great!

Trackrat, Michael, Rushfan, thanks for your kind words! Frankly, I've already seen lots of your stuff, along with many other posters on this board. I've been lurking around here for some time. I tend to post mostly in mics, rack gear, newbies, and occasionally the cave, as I try to post only when I have something to contribute. On this forum, most of you guys have me way outclassed, but I know what I'm "trying" to do, and I'm fairly happy with the results so far. After 6 months of gear-specing and 2 months of mic and pre A-B comparisons, we start tracking for real Saturday. 18 guide tracks, then it all goes out to some badass overdub people with overdubs beginning in the Spring of 2003. By that time, I expect more gear will be added.
Frankly, Michael and Trackrat are among the people whose studios were models for my own. Yes, I already know a lot about the gear of C7, Mister QQ, and many others here. I might have been able to get this far without all of you, but don't ask me how!- Richie

nice stuff! nice gears, nice walls....

why is the monitors placed that way? or for the pic only?

One thing to make your studio even cooler is to hang those guitars on the walls.

Lee, when I'm working by myself I monitor in the tracking station, which is why the rack units are turned around. When a real engooneer is in the house, we turn the nice boxes around. - Richie
