We've been talking lots recently where people have said "but what speakers....." We're doing some pre work for some pre-production on some shows coming up in the summer and we had a thought - set up an audio system in the video studio, using just what was laying around - plenty of monitors, audio and video but some PA style powered 12" plastic box cabinets we use for dance stuff - as in stick 'em on a pole and bluetooth from people's phones. The old office macbook, a spare master keyboard and while the old Lexicon Omega interface won't work on the last two windows versions as there are no working drivers, the macbook was quite happy with it. It doesn't have much in the way of sounds but the synths sound amazing on these speakers, as the bass goes down far more than the 5" speakers we've got in the studio office we occasionally record voiceovers on. The video large screens work well as computer monitors, and the layers of drapes on the pipe grid make it pretty dead in there and we've also got cameras and switchers that we can maybe use? Kind of a multi-media studio - still enough space for the odd green screen project, but we can do more 'modern' stuff, I guess, too. It does suffer a bit from people upstairs dropping things - which do come through the ceiling/floor, but we can live with that.
