Like Erik West Productions on Facebook. Just starting out and a lot to learn....
 
John C,
My response was for Andybhoy's photograph BUT headphone monitoring for mixes is an whole other ballgame & something you should wean yourself from. The h/phones aren't "accurate" in the way you'd want them to be for mixing: great for detail, adequate in a pinch when you can't play things that'll wake up the baby but not the right set up for mixing.
 
Eric West, if you're just starting out with a lot to learn why are you touting yourself as a production company and able to do professional demos?
PS the FB page & band page are very empty at present.
Sorry mate - there's a credibility gap showing.

Funny...I've never heard of you, Ray C? I'm just starting out with my facebook page and selling studio time....I'm not familiar with working with paying customers as it may be stressful.

Oh, i had thought you were talking to me.
Anyways, about the headphone monitoring, i know i've read tons of threads and back and forth debate, i do plan on getting a pair of monitors later but like i said earlier i dont even have a mic pre(i get around that in many ways), enough mics, a mixer, a good mixing program or many other things. A pair of monitors is low on my list but will come eventually. The headphones were not specifically purchased over a pair of bookshelf monitors for monitoring but as a purchase to myself as an audiophile. Also my target audience is very specific and will all be listening to music through earphones, if speakers it would probably be an ipod dock and no more. None care, especially in the genre, about quality. If any do it would be through headphones. But i still do check my mixes many times on my variety of stereo systems. And i know my headphones well and how they translate well also.
 
My little sanctuary.

I used to have a nice custom built desk which was made around a digi 003, right before avid changed the goal posts and told me I had a unnecessary £1300 interface. So, that's gone now. :)

At one time I did rack 8 ward beck modules in the hole where the digi 003 used to go, but that was only temporary.
They're now mounted in a mac pro case at the bottom right.



It's pretty simple.
Mackies are in storage at the minute; I'll be bringing them out again soon.
In the rack I have two channel of auditronics 110a, and two channels of WBS m470a.
The mac pro case has 8 channels of WBS m490g which I can patch in if i need them.

Awesome looking studio. Is that a sliding door with insulation on it too? Haha. Shame about the computer monitors though. They looks so tiny and high up. I have good eyesight, and don't think I'd be able to see what was going on clearly. =P
 
Thanks jimmys69. I hope I'm putting out mixes that sounds a lot bigger than my studio footprint, ;) LOL. After all, we are all judged by the mixes we put out . . . not our investment in audio equipment. Over the years, I've listened to a lot of crappy sounding demos come out of "big L.A. studios".


somegeezer,
Yeah . . . The monitors look tiny in the pictures. Its just wide angle lens magic. They are the 8" M-Audio BX8, powered ones. My partner loves them for his "Hip-hop/R&B" stuff. Not in the picture are my 1991 Audix HRM3 that currently sits next to the M-Audio. I know my HRM3 intimately. I've A/B'd comperable newer Dyneaudio, Mackie and JBL . . . My HRM3 always won out.

The Iso booth is 8ftx10ft and the control room is 14ftx10ft. Its about half of a 2-car garage. The other half of the garage has finished walls and has minimal acoustical treatment. That is where guitar and vocals do their scratch track when the drum & bass is being tracked. Drum kit in the iso-booth, bass is direct. No sliding door, standard swing door.

As you all know, in a small control room like mine, the "sweet spot" for mixing is a sphere about 36" in diameter around your head in the mix position. Just a reminder, return to your sweet spot for critical listening. All my monitors sits higher than my seated ear level and they are angled down to focus at the mix position, 4ft away from the monitor face.

Just doing what I can in the available space :)

I think he meant the video monitors, rather than the audio ones. I'm guessing maybe the keyboard (music, not letters & numbers!) moves out of the way to allow access to the mouse, etc. and to get nearer to the screens, though.

Computer monitors, not audio monitors. =P Your speakers look fine. The screens are what I was referring to as tiny. They look like 15 inch 4:3 ratios. I used to run with a single 15 inch. Just moving to 19 inch 16:9 ratio made a huge difference though, so I guess 2 15 inches would work just as well. But at that angle above you, I imagine it would kill your neck at the very least. With your chair where it is, I imagine your eyes, when parallell to the floor, are probably looking diectly at the shelf your screens and speakers are sitting on. Your eyes should actually be looking at the top of the computer screens. Your audio monitor speakers sound like they are fine, aimed at the sweet spot as you say. If they were parallell too, the centre of the tweeters would be the same as eye/ear level, which would be the top of the monitor too [if the computer monitors were in the right place]. But you've put them higher, and just tilted them to point downward. Still hitting the same place they would have.

I feel other than the obvious lava lamp, everyone needs something quirky like these too. =P

Obligatory: John Kerry has really let himself go.

The fact he can hold stuff probably makes for silliness during rendering. Great studio mascot. Mine are a duo of bendable Mr. Mackey & Towelie talking plush toys. Photos to come.
