let me see your studio!

[longsoughtfor]

I can't say there is anything wrong with it cuz it's easy to navigate and all the links work. I was just wondering if you needed/wanted to dress it up a bit more

Sounds [and looks] like the site is great the way it is...

Re: Hmmm....

thinking...!

Maybe I am making this sound a bit more complicated than I intended...I wasn't implying any insult about your site. I mean, is a nicer looking site gonna win you more clients in your area or no? If not, hey, what you've got is a very functional website.

Actually - dressing-up the site a bit, was on my long-term list.... but I also like the clean, easy pages.... too much clutter throws many people off...

As well, there are a couple of studios in the area whose websites are more impressive than their gear/facilities and that's definitely NOT a good marketing tool!

I'd rather have a clean, bare-bones website and have the clients impressed by my facility than the other way around!

Groovy, if that's your marketing strategy, then rock on!

FYI, Ocenway's website is a joke

wow -- the pictures of your studios made me really jeleous ;-) Even though I've upgraded over the last few weeks it's still just a joke compared to most of your setups.

O.K....here goes.....

Hopefully this works.

This Control central:

 

[FZfile]

YES!!! it worked....

Thanks Michael Jones.

Here is another shot.

Directly to the left.
The pictures were taken from behind the leather couch that sits about 8 feet from this wall.

 

[FZfile]

And finnally....the locker.

This is the modest mic collection thus far.

I've just recently added an RE-20.

More than most of those combined.

 

[FZfile]

Sorry about all the extra white.

You cant tell from the crappy picture but the mics are:

MXL V93
Rode NT3
SM57
Peavy 535i
Ecm 8000's (pair)
Realistic (the SM58 looking one)
CAD 22 (by far the worst mic i own)
and a Radio Shack p.o.c. that sound better than the CAD.

Also .....in the 1st pic, the beatiful flowered sheets are covering some absorber boxes that i covered because the slats are made from various bits of different size molding strips that the previous owner left behind....not as good looking (believe it or not) as the flowered sheets.

I know my monitors are small and crappy but after i get a decent preamp i will get some better ones (they're the Fostex 3.1's).

BTW many of you guys have (or will have) killer set ups.
Nice.

[Son of Mixerman]

That is nice! Where did you get that desk?

 

[Giganova]

my desk is actually from the Office Depot and only cost me $130.- coz it was on sale.

 

[KevinTran]

Giga,
what video card are you using for the dual monitor setup? Wonder if my Radeon 7200 can do that.

[Giganova]

hi Kevin,

I installed an "NVidia Gforce FX 5200" dual-head video card and have two ProView 17" flat-panel monitors. The video card has 128MByte of memory, which is fast enough. Don't get a video card which has less memory coz it will take too long to display the wave form of the audio tracks and your audio software could crash (I had than problem before when I ran Logic 5.5.1 and had a video card with little memory).

AFAIK a Matrox G450 or 550 with 32Mbytes will do just fine. If a video card causes a crash there might be something else going wrong besides available video memory.

I dunno if a video card with 32MB ot total memory for TWO screens will do. I don't even think that you can get a dual-head video with 32MB memory. My card, which has 128MB, only cost 99 buxx anyway, so I think its a good idea to get a decent video card.

All I can say is that Logic sometimes crashed when the video card was too slow to display the wave form on screen (e.g. while zooming in on a track while the song was playing). I talked to other people which had the same problem. A video card with more memory fixed the problem in our case.

$99 for the card is not the problem, it's the $$$$$ for the 2 flat panels!!!!
