Don't stare at the eye.
Looks great! And great to hear from another St. Louisan! Whearabouts are you? (I know--my profile says Waterloo, but I'm from St. Lou and still work and hang out there...)

Dude... you have GOT to share some details, bro! Start a build thread if AT ALL possible! My goal is to have a studio very close to yours once I finally graduate college and get a house!

Also, bro, do you have a layout of your rooms? Looks like a larger live room, control room, and maybe a vocal booth type deal. Absolutely awesome for a home studio! Or even one around town. Nice!

That's just down right pretty shaunmc! You obviously have an eye for design.
The color combo is great. Very nice setup. I am working on mine still. Can't wait to finish it.

I'll jump on the bandwagon - beautiful studio!
I've come to this forum as an ambitious amateur. I hope to make some awesome demos for myself but do not realistically plan on making one cent from my home studio. My eyes get big looking at the pics of your set up.
If you don't mind me asking, how "professionally" do you use your studio? (I mean, do you have a high paying day job and this is your obsession/hobby? Do you rent out your home studio on the weekends? Is this a full time project studio?) Sorry if you're famous and I'm asking a dumb question - I'm new to the forum.
Thanks for sharing the pics.

Do you have any updated pics?
I've been waiting to see how your finished product turns out... I would kill for the high ceilings you have...

Finally Finished For Now
I was waiting to post in this thread until I completed my home studio and finally got it to a place where I am stopping for now. I am amazed at some of the studios you guys have, but here is my humble space. The progress thread can be seen here with before and after pics. The following are the final pics and comments from my last post in that thread.
--------------------------------------
Finally got these pics off the camera and on the computer and wanted to post the final images. I am sure there will always be stuff to do, but for now I am finished with my home studio until I start cranking some songs out and actually record again
Control Room
I ended up plugging the windows with fabric covered 703, getting some MoPads for my monitors, hung the maroon velvet curtain behind my desk (mostly for looks but if it provides anything else then great!
), hung some more stuff, got the standing floor lamps, lava lamp, used some more accessories, etc, Most of the accessories came from Ikea (couch, floor and table lamps, end table, magazine rack, candy holders, dry erase thingy, maybe more...)
Here is the finished control room as you walk into it.
Close-up of the moPads
To follow are different angles / pics
The cabinet opens up to my work area (9-5 job) with my laptop, phone, etc.
MY 2 acoustics hung nicely in the corner
A shot of the back
The spider lamp and magazine rack corner (and you can see a bit of the couch)
The left wall with the see-thru dry erase board, my candy holder under the star picture and a bit of the couch
A better look at the couch (it folds out into a bed - pretty cool) and my faux fur rug ~
Acting as my other end table I have this Meinl Headliner Series Cajon and another cool item, a Pearl Shekere
The last corner angle shot
Live Room
Basically have my stuff set up now to record. My main mic stands up for vocals and then I have the smaller stand for when I record acoustic or electric guitar. I also have the very cool Tranzport Wirerless DAW Controller which I have fallen in love with and works well for my set up.
And my comfy guitar playing chair (with no arms yea!)
The corner with amps and electric guitar
Better shot of amps and the Tranzport
The other corner with green bar stool
I run my mic cords to my snake that runs to my control room
I swapped the fluorescent lights out for some track lighting
That's pretty much it. Thanks for all of the advice and suggestions along the way, I look forward to making some recordings in it someday soon!
Any comments/questions are welcome ~

Suck 'em and see!
hey cincy, very nice looking space to work man. I'm looking forward to hearing what comes out of that space in future.
Just had a house move and designing/building a new space as we speak so I'm about a month away from completion
wish it was sooner.

NewHeights,
Looks like you might have overabsorbed in the high and high mids.... you might want to trap bass with some thick 703 in one of the corners..otherwise, your room might sound too dead and have funny bass frequencies muddying up things.
Hard to tell from the photo, though. It's a nice looking space!

I got the Pre-amps in and mounted, so it's finally time to update this thread. here's the home studio after the remodel. (Sound room really hasn't changed... much)

Very nice, eyeteeth. Very nice indeed.
Question for you you--I'll be building my own desk in the near future, and I'm working on a design very similar to your desk. Do you find the gear in the angled section under the shelf easy enough to reach & work with?
It looks like 7 rack spaces there, right? Then a few spaces on the flat surface on either side of the mixer?

Correct seven spaces in the slanted area. Depending on your physical dimensions... the top two to three spaces are a bit of a reach. (I'm 5-7) If you notice, my AD/DA converters and my power conditioners occupy those spaces. Things I'm not going to be reaching for.
The Space is very comfortable now, and i really enjoy spending time here... it's my happy place again.

eyeteeth, with those racks right on top of one another, dont you worry about heat issues? I know a few peices of gear I have say to leave a space between.
