Don't stare at the eye.
For as long as I’ve hung out here, this has been my favorite thread. The MP3 clinic is by far the most helpful and important thing going here, but this one is a guilty pleasure I can’t resist: sneaking a peek into other people’s musical playgrounds.
For the longest time, I used this thread as motivation, hoping that someday I’d have something to post here as well. Well my studio’s been done for some time now. In fact I did a “Studio Construction Thread” that shows the whole dealio from beginning to end if you want more detail.
It’s been long enough since that thread died down that I think I can post the finished pics here without being too redundant. Sorry there are so many—I’m like a proud papa. Enjoy!

Really nice set up!
Whitestrat...WOW...really nice...I love the set up and it looks like a comfortable environment.
I just made a few pics myself of mine, but I can't remember if I ever posted them.
So at the risk of duplicating a post here we go.....

Tom--I remember your space, so I've seen it somewhere. I love that space--it's like acres. Do you keep two drum kits set up, or are those two different shots from different times/setups?

Those are 2 different kits.
I have like 4 kits and keep one in the booth and then a small practice kit out for band practice.
I really enjoy the place. It isn't perfect but it isn't holding me back in anyway like my lack of talent is.(LOL)

It aint ez being green
Whitey, I think you got the awesomest home studio here. I would kill for that desk! I've been looking far and wide for anything remotely close that doesn't cost $1000+.....
Anyway I'm getting situated in GA here, I have 1/2 my stuff set up ni the dining room
My area is about 12'x12' with 9' ceilings and hardwood floors. It's open to a big living room and 2 story foyer behind the mix pos. so there's a lot of space for sound to dissipate before it reflects back to me, I think the room sounds better than my basement in WI! But my computer is loud and there's ZERO isolation to the rest of the house, so I'm still trying to figure out how tracking is gonna work.. You can't tell from the pics but the lights are blue and green, it has a kind of stagey look.No drums yet, I dont have all my guitars out, only one guitar cab, no big amps, no PA.. There's still a TON of stuff in storage. I'm renting this place for one year, so I'm not going all-out on it. When my house in WI sells I'll buy another house down here, it WILL have a basement! That house will be long-term, so I'll deck out that place, and fix all the little quirks I hated about my last 3 places
Hopefully I can approach the kewlness of WS's!Attachments

Some great setups here...mine is decidedly ghetto in comparison...
Just starting to get a little more serious about recording after 18 years of playing in bands that go nowhere.
The lady and I have just moved and our new place has a basement, which she ceded to me in exchange for control of the rest of the house. I took the opportunity to set up a little workspace for myself down there. Previously, I made demos on a PC, but owing to my constant issues with computers, I decided to go with a dedicated hard drive unit, outboard gear, and my old MIDI station that I've had since high school.
I've gotten an SPX900 since these crappy phone camera photos were taken, and I like that unit very much. I also just purchased an ART MPA Gold preamp today...that should be here in a week or so, can't wait!
Also not shown is the beer fridge, which is my version of mood lighting.
My guitars and basses are kept upstairs, and my stage amps are at my band's practice space; the little ones in the pics are fine enough for what I do down in the cave.

thanks, but if everyone else played lights and camera angles like I did, I'd rank at the bottom again
Go thru the thread and you'll see a LOT of great places that blow me away,

My Recording Room(s)
This is my revised room as of now. I'm still enjoying the 'hybrid' type set up....it's tactile and sounds fine. The guitars are on 'radio' link, so recording is done where the desk is, with no headphones. This has been a very comfortable change for me. Plus I can hear my eq and playing mistakes in 'real-time'...lol.

It's just a finished basement, it's not closed off to the upstairs and there's a laundry room. The lighting is poor. I plan on painting and putting up some track lights. Then get some bass traps in the corners. Though I'm not sure it'll help much with the fireplace on the wall right behind where my work station is.

This pic is before I got the work station, I was using 1 desk for every thing, home office, work, union job and music.
This is the work station that I picked up off Craigs List for 150.00
And some more pics around my work space.
Thats the fireplace directly behind the work station...too much sound reflection?
My noisy neighbor.

Here's some more pics of some of my equipment:
Vox Valvtronix 100w okay amp. Crate BT220 Bass amp, I like it.
Some cheap drums, the Explorer hanging up is a Electra MPC love that guitar. The V my son gave me for Christmas last year. Won the strat copy at the ring toss at Cedar Point, cost me about $20 bucks.
A few of my pedals.
An Epi Les Paul, Marshall mini stack, and an old Peavey practice amp I'v had since I was in high school, the 1 peice of equipment I should have sold (and not regret) when it was still worth something.
Epi Thunder bird bass, Gothic. Works as it should?????
Ahh, the previous mess
Any way its a work in progress.
