Functionally obsessed.
I thought I'd share this with the Analog Only forum, since a few of you may have been keeping tabs on my situation.
I am running out of space in my bedroom! And, with my recent acquisition of a Tascam 48-OB from sweetbeats and a SKB shockmount case to house it in, it's become blindingly apparent to me that I'll need to either do some SERIOUS reorganizing in my bedroom or move back into a live/work warehouse space (which I'm dreading).
The roster is:
2x Tascam 34b
Otari MX5050 MKIII-2
Tascam 48-OB
Akai something-or-other
Tascam 122MKIII cassette deck
Outboard gear (preamps, compressors, EQ, 6x dbx 150x NR, 2x Tascam DX-4D NR)
Tascam M-30 mixer
Yamaha HSM50 monitors
Other assorted odds and ends
I'm not sure if this is a good situation, a bad situation, or just a funny situation. I've included some pictures. I'm cleaning/organizing my room right now so it looks like even more of a mess than it usually does.
And, anyone here is welcome to give tips on how to organize all of this stuff. Most of the outboard gear (2x ART MPA Gold pres, 2x dbx 166xl, 1x Tascam dx-4d) is going into a road rack, since I'll be using it to record live shows. That will take some of my stuff off of my desk. I've still got a couple of Teac PB-64 patchbays to set up, and that will streamline everything a little.
Electrical power is also a concern. I've got this all plugged in to one jack, because I have only one pair of grounded outlets in my room (old flat). I turn on only what I'm using, so I don't think I'm going to overload the circuit, but for doing more complex projects (mixing), I might need more than what the circuit can bear (say, for example, I'm running the 48-OB and the MX-5050 at the same time, with the Akai providing tape effects).
OK, enough! Here are the pictures.
