Crawling hand, and brown jelly bean pooping cow (in package to keep scent under control), are necessities for tracking in my cave.

Seriously? This site is severely crippled.

 

[JimmyS1969]

somegeezer,

LOL . . . my bad . . . I'm used to referring to "computer monitors" as "screens". Yes mine are 10 years old 15" screens. Max resolutions from my VS2480 is 1024x768. It works fine so no sense in getting bigger screens. I've always had my screen higher than "normal" to make room for audio gear at the "normal" levels. My neck never ached so its never been a problem.

I work at home on my computer; CAD work. My main computer screen for my workstation is a 42" 1080P monitor hooked up to my laptop. I sit in a recliner and my computer monitor is up high as well and it is angled down towards my head. That way when I sit in my recliner with my head against my headrest, I am looking at my big screen perpendicular to the screen surface. Wireless keyboard in my lap and a wireless mouse that uses the armrest as the mouse pad and I can work long hours. VERY comfortable. I also watch my Blue-ray movies there a lot so I also have a nice home theater set up too. I love my day-job work space.

By the way, I hope you noticed my blue lava lamp . . . A control room really isn't a control room without one

This is my humble home studio….

Here it is in the nicest possible pic I have of it.

Here it is when I first started;

Then in between;

Some with the older sound traps I’d made, they were only 3”. I use them along the floor now with the newer 4” traps in their place on the walls…

And now as it sits…..

Dean Martin plays here….

Some Gear;

Not much, but it helps me get it done.

I've put more money into mine, and you still have a better recording set up. It's not about the money, but how you use the gear you have. I don't even have a set of monitors. One of the most important pieces of gear to record with.

Same here. Coming from performance mainly. So not just the mixing that is new to me, but also all the writing. Good theoretical knowledge, but not a lot of experience with putting that into practise yet.

My Little Studio

Well I'm new here and I wanna add my pics to the lot. This is in an apartment and we are on the 2nd story. This room is actually built over the stairs and doorway where we come in and is against the center of the building, so it has this really high, slanted ceiling that must be 12 to 14 ft at the peak. Room needs some treatment, even though the lower half seems to be good.

Cool! Hard to tell, but I think I have a same or very similar keyboard. Love the piano bench

Thanks! Yea, the keyboard is a Yamaha YPT-320.

And as far as the piano bench... can you tell that this studio is also "small people" accessible? LOL Glad I took this pic when I did: there's already an etcha sketch and some more crap on the floor today. Oh well. LOL

 

[suprstar]

Here's a pic before I built out the studio in my last house, it has the keyboard and evidence of the 'little people readiness' of my own place! Notice the keys have marker all over them. There's also a few sticky keys from some juice or something that got spilled in there.... Glad my kids are older now!

I know exactly what you mean

Nice! I love the over under on the computer screens, that's exactly how I do it..

Love this thread. So many great ideas to steal for my studio!

From what I've seen here, studios fall into one of two categories: (a) the clean professional looking studio, vs (b) the down-and-dirty studio. The clean studio has almost nothing on the walls except bass traps. The down-and-dirty studio has all kinds of signs, flags and other cool stuff up.

No offense to anybody, but I think I prefer the second type. But regardless of preference, I don't think the clean type is really an option for me anyway, what with being exiled to the garage and all.

When I get around to bass traps, they are probably going to be covered with something akin to a velvet painting of a nude woman. LOL

This is the first set-up I have made. Just started really so I've got pretty basic equipment, but I love it so much! I built the computer myself and it runs really nice.

 

[CrowsofFritz]

Nice and clean Ape-x.

It's probably the angle of the picture, but those monitors almost look like they are facing each other!

Do you have a good triangle action going on?
