Just some new gear.
Nice!
8 channels of 1073 is a beautiful score!
I have 4 channels of 1073 clones and I really like even the clones on everything.
8 channels would be really nice.

I assume the other stuff in the rack was pre existing? or.... hmmm?
 
I'll be damned. That wasn't supposed to happen. And I can't delete the link. Shit.
 
I’ve been reading and learning a lot over here. And now I can finally share my basement-studio. It’s not purely a studio it’s atleast as important for me to go there and practice instrument, write songs,... without having to move or plug in different things. My camera is not very good, in real life the lights are more yellow-ish and the overall feel is cosier. But it kind of paints the picture

All this is still and on-going project. My next to do’s are:
  • Check where I need diffusers or more absorbing material in the big room for better sound
  • Buy a new desk and hang those 2 grey acoustic panels that are on the floor now, depending on where my monitors point at.
  • Invest in better recording equipment (thinking about getting a separate EQ/compressor unit and a console. Slowly getting annoyed by having to move faders with my mouse)

Put your video some place like youtube where people don't have to download it. Video was 'still processing' when I tried your link.
 
So much gear, so little space!
You have NO idea… here’s how it turned out so far!

Awesome setup, lots of flashing lights and VU meters. That’s some mixing desk!
 
You think yours is small, mine also has to double as an home office since covid too.
Love the vintage mac and early gear collection there! My first mac was an SE, I also had a Quadra 800, which was one of my favorite towers ever! :)

Haha ? yes there’s 4 vintage macs in there. It’s my SE/30 that i’m setting up as my studio/DAW. Combine my hobby of old macs with making music is something i’ve always wanted to get into so since the kids moving out it seemed the right time. 2 of the macs are disconnected at the moment to give my home studio the space needed.

Sounds like you’ve had some great macs SE & Quadra! :)

I still have the original bondi blue iMac that I preordered at Javits Center in NYC in 1995 when I went to MacWorld Expo!

No way! Great mac. I use the revb one in the picture which i think it’s 2000 poss 2001. If i can’t get the old SE/30 fully working as a daw/midi i will change over and use that instead as i know that one would work just fine.
 
Some people like to see lots of knobs, dials and sliders and things, so I posed this picture - picked up a new mixer for live use (Yamaha MG12), and set it up and my old Mackie (since sold)

Still not enough knobs mjb. Also, both sets of speakers point straight out at the room.
They ought to point at your ears.

No, that's just the fish-eye effect of the phone camera. They DO point directly at my sitting position. 4.5 foot equilateral triangle.

The mixers were just for effect. The Yammie is back in its carrying case, the Mackie is sold, and the little Behringer is over to the side to boost the audio out from my keyboard for the line-ins on my interface.
 
Nice to see this thread still being alive.

I posted here way back in 2006 or so when I was building my studio next to my garage.
It has been about 15 years, and I finally took early retirement this year and have been reorganizing and fixing stuff so that I can start back working from the studio again without the pressure of paying my bills with the proceeds!

Here is what it looks like today.

I have a main room with the mix position , drums and amps. (also where the band practices).

The mix position has removable small panels at the first reflection points that cover the booth glass when I mix but just hang on conduit so they come right off when tracking.(the small panels do double duty as Gobo's by hanging them on Mic stands with boom arms in the horizontal position)

To the left and right of the mix position is a vocal booth to the left and a larger booth for acoustic instrument recording.

I am enjoying getting back into it after the last few years being so limited.
Looks like a comfy mixing chair?
Cheers
