let me see your studio!

Tall monitor

is that a really tall monitor?

I have an HP monitor that swivels so you can switch between having it setup vertically or horizontally.

If that's what it is.....then good monitor purchase, dude! I love mine. It has a really nice glossy finish on the panel and looks great. You have to watch though the glossy ones don't work well next to windows becuase they throw off more glare than the average monitor. I think most of us are in basement dungeons though so no worries.

I'm surprised by the amount of posts here where CLEARLY a lot of money has been invested in equipment, yet acoustic treatment has been totaly overlooked.

I'd say for by your ears acoustic treatment is the second most important thing in a studio. Even with a half way decent treated room a good pair of ears can mix with crap equipment.

Yup, its a pivot-y HP 24incher . Picked it up verrrry cheap - the backlight has faded and its got some of the pink banding around the outside, but you don't notice it after a while (especially with a dark window, i.e. Sonar, open).

The three smaller screens total 3840x1024, and the 24" is 1920x1200

Of course the most important thing is the monitors and the listening setup, but when you're juggling a load of tracks the screen real-estate does come in handy!

Definitely a nice place, no doubt. The only thing I'd suggest is that you think seriously about how to get your mix position out of that corner. It's about the least idea place possible in that room. Whenever you place two full-range speakers that close to more than one hard boundary layer (i.e., walls), you're increasing the amount of low end interference by a factor of two, three or four depending on how many boundary layers there are. Being right up against *one* wall (the front wall) is bad enough; that produces a 1/4 wavelength null that's directly related to the distance between the speakers and the wall...introducing two more surfaces (ceiling and another wall forming a tri corner) makes the problem much worse.

my studio

This video was shot, 100%, within about 100 feet of my home recording studio. Yes, the train is 30 feet from my studio, no, i'm not gay, and yes, i am also aware i can't sing. I promise it won't happen again.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE check out this video and comment on it. Honestly, i've never sang before or acted, or really done anything but produce music and film. I'd really like to know your opinion.

please check out this video and let me know what you think.

you can find my email at www.DiireRecords.com

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU


The mural is in the booth, there is a live hand gernade next to the whiskey on my desk, and if you look close at the beginning, i have a fireplace behind my console where i sit. i do all my recording with a tascam 1082, and the larger board is our bread and butter, where we do analog upmixing for dtx for film production. I'd love any comments. thanks

Id like to know what camera you used to record that video as well as lense etc. And what software you used to edit it.

If you dont think you can sing... thats not bad at all man! I loved the quality it sounded great. Lyrically its not my type of music so I wont be one to judge ya dig.

cameras

wow, man thanks. i actually own a hollywood film production company and we've expanded to east texas. We had some friends/actors from canada in that were in broke back mountain and got kind of wasted on a friday. we were singing and i was trying to coach one of my girls at the studio through a recoding of the song and it hit everyone at the same time how f'n freaky that really was for a guy to sing. BTW, that was filmed on a single panasonic hvx 200. it is the (only) camera to get. it was filmed at vcr quality, but in will film 60 frames/sec 1080i. it is the (only) camera to get. we film motion picture on reds, (thats the name, red) and i have close to 280k in 2 cameras. They film 16X higher than HD. but the reality is the quality of the picture. The resolution in 'hd' on youtube is actually about 1/2 of the vcr quality we filmed (using dv tape) I swear to god, this camera outperforms any $60k camera in its class, hands down. just google hvx200 and you'll probably find i'm not the only one that agrees. Those cameras are about 4-6k, and another 2k if you want the p2 cards to film anything other than on dv at vcr 480 quality. The camera has less functions than the panasonic dv hd consumer camera i picked up at best buy. if you go to www.y3k360.com, theres a blacked out picture of my cameraman from that job, matthew hubbard. I've been in music and film for years and can tell you the delivery of a music video at that level of quality 10 years ago would have run 50-100k. We filmed in 4 hours, edited in 2. The only part that still really creeps me out was in the bedroom. We filmed with myself, the backup (my girlfriend), and matt. no director, dp, lighting, no nothing, really. We just shot a bunch of scenes and played around with it. My editor is actually capable of 20 times that, as in requim for a dream, if you saw that movie. We are filming horror movie with him right now. my total cost for that day was about 250, the entire sum of which went to matt. so really, if you have some friends and that camera, you can turn out that material all day long. That was the first time i had used the panasonic. we bought a bunch of them and figured we'd use them in rain or from the helicopter and stuff. You can find them used for around 4k and if you want to film hd, just tether them to a computer. we have to tether reds to firewire and a mac, anyhow. you really need to anyhow to see how the frames look in hd. my only gripe, its 16/9 native, but they put a 4/3 viewfinder on it. what did you think of the train shot? is that unbelievable or what? we heard the train coming and had about 20 seconds to prepare for those shots. Anyhow, that camera is the HD big brother to the hvx100, which you could film at that level of quality all day long. the updated just has 2 p2 cards for digital hd recording. Good luck and thanks for watching. kent fuselier

 

[gethypedmusic]

hi all...

just built myself a shiny new desk, and i thought i'd see what u all think

 

[ObeseArmadillo]

Steenamaroo - Nice desk! I like they way you flush mounted your control surface and your outboard gear. The built in speaker stands are a nice touch as well...Looks like a fine piece of craftsmanship.

 

[Steenamaroo]

thanks for that can't take much credit tho,,,,my brother's the tool master

it's a lot nicer to work at than having everything just sitting on the desk

 

[Obi-Wan zenabI]

Very very nice. Now just quit smoking those cigarettes. You shouldn't want to kick it even one minute before your time... it could be time spent mixing on that sweet setup!

 

[Steenamaroo]

whoa,,,,now that's a way to look at it!!!!

thanks,lol.

 

[andkaz7]

im finishing up the studio this weekend hopefully ill post photos asap

Just one little thing...those monitors look awfully far apart for how close you are to them...

[Fishmed]

Here is my Current Setup

 

[Steenamaroo]

i guess they maybe are...

the closest corners are 62" apart,

and i sit so they cross paths just in front of my face, more or less.

 

[Weasel9992]

Fishmed...nice. I love the racks and the desk.

Thanks Frank.

I have a buyer for my mixer. Once it is sold, I am going to modify the Desk secton on the left to extend the rack section to go to the floor like the two side racks.
