let me see your studio!

[Simman]

Very cool. I'd like to see more.

I also have some questions about the Ghost. Automation? DAW control?

I'm wanting a console but don't know what to get, so I'm just waiting.

The Ghost has mute automation built in (pretty crude given today's DAW control) and I do use it to control Alesis HD24. I'm old school and really like pushing faders and turning real pots. I will say it is surprisingly quiet and I have no issue interfacing samplitude and pro tools DAWs via light pipe back through the HD24 converters. Works seamlessly.


All that being said, if I had the money I would seriously look at the SSL Matrix. That board is a line level mixer that is both fully analog & a DAW control surface. - sweet.

Sure, i'll embarrass myself...why not

Aside from the two guitars not shown, this is it. Use amp sims and SD2 anyway.



the sounds I get out of it are in my sig-link. Also, I move the mic when recording. It faces out into the room with a blanket in front of it and the closet behind it.

Hey man, no worries
You're getting some good tunes out of that tiny compact studio.

ha, i try. thank you for choosing two nice and better-sounding words to describe it. I'm aiming for something Miro posted way back when; his studio setup. It'll take me about 10 years to get it with school and whatnot, but it'll happen.

Here's where I do most of my work. Small upstairs bedroom, right hand monitor jammed into a corner. Hardly ideal. There is a large living room downstairs where I can record as well, but it's a fairly big job moving things so I'll usually only set up down there when my wife is out of town for a few days.

For recording guitars, I put the amp in the next room or in the living room below and run cables under the door.

 

[andrushkiwt]

you have more guitars now than i've owned in my life. i think i'm on my 3rd. not counting the acoustic i've had for all 23 years i've been playing....

 

[Robus]

That's the whole herd right there: Two acoustics, two basses (Jazz and P), four electric guitars (Strat, Tele, LP, SG). That's it, and I have no guitar GAS whatsoever. Amps are a different matter... Been GASsing for Fender '68 Reissue Princeton, but we remodeled last summer and are rebuilding our savings, so no new amps are in my near future.

Why don't you move the shelf/rack with all the gear over to the right side, so you can slide the desk over a few feet and get the right monitor out of the corner? You've got to be getting a completely unbalanced sound that way. (BTW, I had the same problem with my previous set up.)

Nice! Where do you live? Im in Des Plaines. I feel like we had this conversation a few years ago possibly.

+1. I see that the desk is L shaped, which seems to force you to put baby in the corner. Don't do that.

My latest update as of last night.

 

[RFR]

Oooh, see some nice channel strip action there.

 

[Obi-Wan zenabI]

I like the Keyboard monitoring ... the big EVENTs on the ground....

 

[dainbramage]

Looks good! Wish I had a bigger room like that. Nice pedal board too! And love the desk!

I don't see any acoustic treatment though(?)

 

[JimmyS1969]

Looks good!

It takes time for some to understand what that means and why...

Yeah man, least expensive and most rewarding investment is acoustic treatment... Do it and do it right!

Or don't....

Bought a wireless mouse and keyboard. Now can control tracking from anywhere in the studio, mainly the Kawai, and then move back to the desk to work on things. (KRKs moved back to the main mix position right after taking these photos.) Computer tower is in the middle of the room, with the interface by the Kawai -- so all the wires can reach!

Cozy looking room!

 

[Obi-Wan zenabI]

That's a nice way of putting it, 60's!

It's a bit cluttered, but I think the bookshelves + 703 combine to diffuse and absorb the room into sounding pretty good.No doubt there will not be a lot of room to move around with a full band in there, but every instrument and purpose has a cozy spot. Even the 1200's!

It's got a lot of jobs to do as a space, and I don't want to have the main keyboard facing a wall when it could be out in the open. I spent several hours last night replacing my firepod with a fire studio 26x26, putting all four sides of Chicago II and Chicago III on the turntable, and playing along with the Kawai set to "rock organ" while I tweaked the X12 Air being used as a monitor mixer/ effects box. Heaven.




Also -- what's with the "new member" status....?
