let me see your studio!

Do you like Charvels by any chance? Haha

Desk looks great! OC 703 will improve your room - it was a noticable difference in mine. Looks like you are on the right track.

Thanks for the props!!

Yes, I love those made in Japan Charvel.
The craftsmen at the old "Gaki" factory made some of the finest "shred" guitars.
A friend of mine had an old Charvel "Model 1A" (basically a MIJ Strat copy with a compound radius neck & jumbo frets) and after playing it for a weekend, my Les Paul & Strats had to go! lol

Started some of the acoustic treatment panels, I can already hear the monitors better.
Can't wait until they're all up.

hi, this is my studio basically

 

[Btyre2013]

here's my current setup, I've just sold the KRK monitors though so will be without monitors for at least 3 weeks before I can afford the Neumann KH120's...can't wait for that day. Also this is my first post so thought I'd say hello and introduce myself!

So many nice studios…I'm not worthy!

 

[pawma]

my setup at home isnt worth a photo yet but Im trying to achieve something similar, great photos , thanks

Here's mine, I'm still a bit of newbie so I've not got a major setup as of yet I want to do something about my monitor placement, the right one is too close to the wall and the left one is in front of a window, not good but nothing can be done at the moment

 

[homestudioguy]

Very Nice!
What are the dimensions of this room?
It is generally best if your monitors are positioned to point down the longest dimension of the room.

I'd suggest pulling the desk back about 1 ft. away from your mounted acoustic panels.
I'd also suggest 4" thick absorbers behind the monitors and in corners.
There is a lot of absorber Info in this forum so use the search field.

Speaking of Bass Traps etc., here is a great video!

homestudioguy are you replying to me dude?

 

[homestudioguy]

Yes, in fact I am!
Just trying to see if there could be a better way to position your set-up in your room.

The Video Link is for everyone.

Although it's hard to see in the photo below, I have my desk pulled away about 1 ft back.
I also have 8' deep absorbers behind my desk.


Same is true with my friends desk below.

 

[Elyrt]

Sorry mate I couldn't tell hahaha. I would but my room is arranged in a way that it just can't be done unfortunately otherwise I would. It's a bedroom rather than a dedicated space. I might be able to pull it away a few inches and get an absorber on the wall behind the right monitor but I've still got the window to deal with on the left side.

I've not measured the room either, it's really not the greatest for acoustics unfortunately but it's all I can do at the moment.

My First Post Here

Hi all!
I've been stalking around here and learning many things, but this is my first contribution. My 'studio' began as a way to consolidate when I moved from a house with a huge bay window and living room where I had my instruments spread out, into a smaller house, while preparing to marry. My wife plays the harp, I play the double bass, which both take up a bit of room in the living room, and I figured she'd like a little room for herself.
I took the living room closet and designed and built in the keyboards, amps, and gear as best I could, changing from big speakers and a powered mixer to powered studio monitors to fit the space. Over the past couple of years I have started down the road of recording and mixing, and so I redesigned my space - treated the walls as best as I could (yes I realize that monitors in corners is not good, as well as in a closet, but with the room settings on the monitors I do ok for my budget and the space available), am slowly building up a mic locker, and rewired everything for both simplicity and flexibility.
So far I'm enjoying the space, and we'll see what the future holds!


I hope these photos uploaded correctly, here goes!....

monitor update

I got new studio monitors over christmas/new year, the neumann KH120a's and am loving them so far!: View attachment 84304

View attachment 84305 here's the amp's I use for recording, a Fender Champ 600, Vox VR30, Marshall VS15R and Orange PPC112 cab loaded with a celestion G12H55 speaker. The idea is, I have a 6, 8 10 and 12" speakers to choose from, all have their own sound and I also mod all my amps to much higher spec, the champ 600 sounds particularly good for recording even though it's only a 6" speaker.

 

[ClausRogge]

Ok here's my studio ... it's a bit of a cheapo compared to the other ones I see pictured here but this is all I got! There's the analogue section at the left, with the Tascam 308 mixer as the best part, and the digital section right, with Ardour running on a MacBook. I even built the table myself and the stands for the speakers.

Wow, wild-looking pedal board you got there! I assume all the switches are for A/B-ing the pedals above?

 

[mjbphotos]

Stupid duplicate post!

 

[lowstringc]

Hey MJB,
The lower pedal board (the maple one) is actually a midi bass pedal board I built so I can loop my guitar, sing over top, and play bass lines with my feet. It's only an octave, I've got a 32 pedal AGO board that's been in my basement 3/4 built for years, one day I'll finish that and be able to play more melodically with heel toe technique. For now this one works well - I run it through a Yamaha tone generator and have a few bass sounds programmed, as well as a few organs in 5ths. Things can get fun with a looper, both midi and regular guitar, vocal harmonizer, and bass pedals all going at once! I don't play as much now, and am enjoying learning the engineering side of things a bit now.
