let me see your studio!

I see a R2R I love em. Most younger HR enthusiasts don't even know what they are.

What's that Rick?

I wish I had a reel-to-reel player.

Unless they're of the indie/hipster variety, in which case anything recorded on R2R is solid gold and anything recorded Digital is dishonest and shameful, regardless of the musical qualities.


Sorry, I'm bitter from being forced to interact with stupid people more often than I'd ever wish upon anyone

This is how my control room with look when its finished...

Well done! I can't tell you how many mock ups I've done of my dream racks using sweetwater pictures

Putting the lava lamps on-top of your monitors - that's brave!

I've spent most of today clearing my studio out in preparation for some big changes. Mental note to self - don't use so many cable ties next time!

I don't have the recording gear in yet (just ordered a Firepod, and am researching mics) but here's where my studio will be. There's also another bedroom behind the wall with the piano that will serve as a 2nd tracking room.

I love that console type piano. Pretty cool.

Look into PZM mics and the ones from Crown are great.

When I had an acoustic piano, I used one [PZM] and it always gave me perfect piano sound, no matter the placement. I taped it under the lid or front bottom cover or just placed it to the right of the pedals, horizontally [not taped] and it always sounded great.

Just a suggestion..

OMG Is that a Fender "Showman" amp? I haven't seen one since I sold mine in 68'. Loved that amp. Bought the first one in Sacramento Ca in 62, The speaker is mounted in a double baffle with a "tone ring". I just designed my soffit mounted monitors with twin 10" "tonerings". Those amps had the best vibrato I ever heard. I believe it was called "amplitude modulation". The 15" JBL actually moved in and out when the vibrato was on. Looked absolutely cool. Not to mention the sound. Sold it and got a DUAL showman. Sucked compared to the single showman, but it sure was louder. Had to have the volume for the big shows I was playing at the time....like at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. Even then, I had to upgrade volume wise to a Vox SuperBeatle amp. geeezus was that thing loud.

my little set up. about as budget as it gets but we have fun!
mikey

I see your budget and raise you a million

lol, nope. It's a Super Sonic and it's vintage is around 2006. It's actually a friend's, so I don't really know the specs (I'm a bass player) but one channel is based on a Bassman and the other I think is based on a Twin Reverb. I could be way off on the 2nd channel. He used to leave it over here because it is way heavier than it looks, sure sounds nice though.

If I had a bunch of disposable money for this studio project, I would get one Supersonic and one Vox AC30 with Blueback Celestions. I would be covered for everything except heavy metal... Oh well, I'm sure when I eventually record a band, they will have guitar amps they want to have recorded anyway.

Seriously! There was no pic when I posted! Not even a little red X. Sorry!

 

[Steenamaroo]

Thought i might throw in a few pics of my setup again,,

few changes here and there since last time,,,

most notably, the octopre, third screen and 'mac pro'


some real nice lookin setups here!!! i get very jealous of those of you lucky enough to have spare rooms and spare space to soundproof off


apologies,,,it's a bit messy at the moment,,,,i'm preparin for an electrical rewiring!!!!

 

[Subanez]

Finally got around to it

Now that we've moved, here's the setup. The window is soundproofed by a little DIY job that works pretty well for the cost. Enjoy.
