let me see your studio!

[keilson]

sorry man, i wasn't talkin gear wise. I was talkin about space. It sux having everything in one tiny room.

 

[Aren]

Hey keilson, Is that a gas mask on top of the speaker?

Oren

 

[keilson]

ha ha yes, someone asked that in another forum. I used to collect old war supplies. Don't know why it was there at the time. But it's kind of funny

 

[jake-owa]

Oh you guys and your complaints about one little room.
When I started I had a tiny corner of my living room under the TV where I kept my Yamaha 4 track and single mic. I had an electric guitar I used to plug straight in and detune for bass. Percussion was a box and can...seriously. Just get a decent job and keep collecting one thing at a time.

Oh, and call studios and radio stations to find about their old gear...it pays off.

 

[jake-owa]

Ok, I'm bored..

Here's my home studio accoustic treatment. It cuts down on some of the high reflections. It's berber carpet and auralex foam squares.

 

[jake-owa]

Whoa...that was big..oops.

Here's my bass rig all wired and ready. they say necessity is the mother of tape or something...

 

[jake-owa]

Here's my "drumset". Don't laugh too hard. Notice the very sophisticated dual micing wall mounting technique...take notes.

heh

 

[TexRoadkill]

lol, Jake I think we have the same interior designer. A lot of cool studios out there.

Here's my work in progress-

 

[TexRoadkill]

The instrument wall. I've got a few other guitars in another room.

 

[jake-owa]

Wow, cool Tex, the pic is kinda dark...which mixer is that?

He's the free studio decorator guy that comes out of the closet when you get stoned....yeah I got the same guy.

 

[jake-owa]

Here we go..

Isn't that a bit big for a Ghost?
Is that Aaron's old one?

 

[TexRoadkill]

Yep that's the guy. Here's a brighter pic. I'm going to put an iso rack under the console for the Radar. Then I can put all the other stuff in the top rack that the radar is taking up right now. I also need to finish the trim on the console. Damn, I'm lazy.

 

[jake-owa]

aha..beat ya to it.

Looks like fun times man.
Are those cables in the mail?

Just trick photography. I got that off of Ebay.

 

[jake-owa]

Nice, where's a link to some of your Radar recordings man...I'm interested.

The SPD6 pad pictured actually has two pedal inputs for kick and hat. I have a real highhat so I just use the kick one. The only drawback to this setup is that my kick has no dynamic response so I have to tune it carefully to each song.

The module I use is the Yamaha MU50 and the combination of sounds works great! Just listen to my new guitar sample mp3s on nowhere (www button) or a recent song of mine...most can't tell they're not drums. Plus it's way more fun than tapping a machine or keyboard.

 

[jumpingflash]

Eh eh .. thanx for the compliment, it would be interesting to do that job!

Maybe when i move to Mexico i could help u
