let me see your studio!

[WhiteStrat]

Acoustic guitars generate a lot of sympathetic resonance, especially with good instruments. IME sometimes it can sound good. But usually not.

Mine are on the wall--about a dozen electrics and 2 or 3 acoustics usually. I keep a strip of soft foam between the body and strings when I'm not playing them. This does a nice job of keeping the guitars from talking to each other when the strings start vibrating.

I imagine the bodies themselves might still resonate, but not to the degree that I've ever noticed.

 

[Sailjunkie]

Yes, a few more keyboards and...

Actually, I also have 11 guitars! I store them in cases on the shelf when not in use.

This is my studio/Workspace.

Weird to see all those keyboards with no computer. Do you use a laptop that's just not there in the pic?

 

[Sailjunkie]

Nope

No computer...just a Tascam DP02 for multitracking. These are all conventional stand alone synths.

 

[BigCaygeon]

Wicked VT Gear I colect those amps

Hi Sailjunkie,
Hurrrray for the HR16...my first...and only drum machine. Used to use that with a Fostex 4-track (early 90s)...back then I could actually write and record songs...now I just sem ot play with softsynths and try to learn Reaper!!!
Do you sequence stuff or is it all live played to drum patterns/songs?
Cheers,
-Rich

Not very ideal - crammed up in a corner of my bedoom with my monitors very wide out at the sides of me. Skews my stereo image a bit but its not completely unworkable. Hoping to move into a more usable space soon though

Was going to change to two 24" panels, but then got Sonar and found that with the split track/bus layout of the mixer I could easily have tracks one screen and buses on another (useful seeing as I use buses a lot when mixing), so I might stay with the 3 monitors for now (I'd just like a bit more room for track view).

No outboard - mix completely ITB. I would like some but really can't afford it. My computer can seemingly run limitless amounts of plugins on stupidly high track counts however, so I don't mind compromising a bit for the convenience of that extra compressor only ever being one click away

Just got up my little setup, thought id share it. Im still piecing it together. MPC 1000 is coming next week. Along with the Layla3g to take up some space on the empty rack lol.

Compared to some beautiful creative spaces displayed here, mine's not a big deal...but it is for me

 

[Nico2112]

I just moved into this room, and I find it very comfortable.

Hey RickJ

Yes, I've had my HR 16 since it was introduced. One of the pads started shorting out so I thought I'd replace it with an SR 16 (also in the picture). I found, though, that I missed the HR 16 too much, so now I use them midi'd together. I do both Sequencing (recording into a Tascam DP02) and live rehearsel stuff with them (I use an old Yamaha QX5 Sequencer). Not sure if you noticed but I also have a Boss DR 660 midi'd up to a Korg Electribe (got them both cheap just to play around and see what they can do)...I'm not much into dance, house, hiphop stuff, but I can get these units to do other stuff.

Are you using ProTools on a Linux system?

 

[Sailjunkie]

I'm not...

I suppose I'm a dinasaur on this website, but I'm making pretty decent recordings just using the Tascam as a standalone. I've got all of the keys midi'd up in couple of different configurations (i.e. my Roland Juno G with my Access Virus TI, and Korg MS2000R in one setup, and my Roland XP10/EMU Vintage Keys Plus Rack with my Alesis HR16/SR16 midi'd up to my good old Yamaha QX5, and then my Boss DR660 midi'd up to my Korg EA1). My guitars are cased (why you don't see them in the pic above), but I run them through a pretty extensive pedalboard. My amp is a Fender Blues Junior (a GREAT little combo amp!). I mic them or run them direct depending on what kind of sound I'm trying to get. I run all of the above through a Behringer MX3482A mixer and then into my TAscam.

That doesn't make you a dinosaur! If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?

And I agree with you on the Blues Jr.

My room is red with creamy absorption panels

ditto. well, only one wall is red. Didn't want to do the whole thing.

 

[Sailjunkie]

Thanks WhiteStrat

I'm a fish out of the water with all this computer DAW stuff...

 

[Nico2112]

I'm a fish out of the water with all this computer DAW stuff...

Exactly how I felt about it a year ago. I'm slowly dipping into the DAW pool, and find it amazingly versatile

Been a Tascam standalone guy for 11 years, and now I use both.

Cheers!

Are you using ProTools on a Linux system?

Nope, its Sonar 8 on XP.
I do run Ardour on Linux occasionally though.
The top picture is booted into Vista (never do any music stuff with Vista).
Triple boot

 

[Sailjunkie]

I use a whole lot of traditional outboard stuff...

Keyboards, guitars, mixers and multi FX. My little Tascam DP02 is working out fine for my rig. It only has two inputs and you can only record two tracks at a time, but, being a one man band, it works fine for me. I simply run all of my stuff through my 32 channel board and then into the Tascam and it all works fine. USB keyboards, virtual guitars, drums and synths...I know nothing about this stuff...not that I have anything against it all though...

Dude the girl in those pics looks super bored.

Here are some pics of my cave.
