let me see your studio!

[eyeteeth]

I think I spent about 3 months putting that one together, and I don't have a bass that can touch it tonally. I LOVE that thing in the studio. I should be getting wood in the next few days to start working on a 4 string version.

.. and thanks.

I have been wanting to do a video monitor set up like you describe. Although for me I am only one room away so it's to tuff. I played with putting a window in, but I want to sell this house Next house will be very studio friendly and I'm cutting loose! Hopefully a full underground basement. Either that or a bigger house in the country.

I don't think I've posted my newest pic with new monitors sooooo.



F.S.

Cool shade of blue...it reminds of my room. What is the color called? I used a Glidden color called 'Jazz'; not because of the name, because of the shade...warm and blue.

Alright... here's my current control room. I just pulled a ton 'o stuff out. 3 ADATs, a 24E console extension, a number of entry level compressors and almost all the outboard FX units I had. I do most all my mixing and processing in the computer now as I can do more with the plugins. I've been expanding the mic closet, and now I'm working on getting a collection of discrete preamps.

The old setup "looked" much more impressive... but I just didn't need all the extra gear, and now I have some workspace back.

Are you selling any of that old stuff you pulled out?

Some of it, definitely; some, I could be talked out of; some I'm keeping.

Something you're looking for?

It's actually a dark plumb. If you hit it hard with the camera flash it becomes an extra gay shade of purple I wouldn't recomend it I have to be very careful never to wear a leather biker cap and get my picture taken in front of this wall.

The blues coming threw the window.

Gotcha. I was looking at the bottom right of the photo. I see the plum between the treatment toward the top.

You may want to check out Ralph loren paint (I think thats the guy). They sell it at the home depot. they have very cool stuff like swede, metalic snakeskin and other things. It's not cheap, it's alot of work & you have to get special rollers etc.

We did our living room in chocolate swede and it makes you want to pet the walls Word of caution though. It's not kid friendly, does not hold up well to abuse.

Well, after watching this thread for a couple of years (has it been that long?) I decided I would "get on board", so to speak...quite a few changes here over the past few years, analog board is gone, 3 racks of outboard down to 1 (better) rack, number of mics downsized (but quality of those left/replaced is up)...studio is always in a state of "almost done"...guess I shouldn't have let anyone in until I was finished, being that: a) I'm a procrastinator and: b) my live work really cuts into my spare time....since I do all the construction work (which is really not my forté) things have a way of being "left for another day" ....anyway, here it is.....BW, Pinederosa Studio

Nice set-up!..................

 

[A Reel Person]

Fender Champ?

Cool!.........................

 

[bwindsor]

A Reel Person,

Vibro Champ....mid 70's silverface, gets used "quite a bit" here...these and Deluxes are my favourites for studio use (cleans/semi OD)

Not in the pictures is a Mesa Boogie Mk1 Reissue (blonde) that gets plenty of use as well....just got a new Orange Tiny Terror and I have to say...wow !!!

Bwindsor, Tell me more about those diffusors...

I need something for my back wall, and I like the scale and construction of yours.

 

[bwindsor]

Obi-Wan zenabI,

These were just a design I found somewhere, and then "slightly altered"....wanted to give the flat walls in both the control room and the main studio a little "curve"....added the same thing (sort of) to the ceiling at the back of my control room, which seemed to help "clear" the bottom end buildup (slightly) in a spot where clients would normally sit...probably could have dealt with it in other ways, but I decided to try this, partially from an "aesthetic" standpoint, as well as from a "sound" treatment stance. If you need details just PM me, pretty simple stuff really if you've got "minimal" wood skills, a chop saw and a table saw came in handy. Thanks, BW

 

[Timothy]

Just need some acoustic treatments yet.

 

[Obi-Wan zenabI]

Timothy,

That's just a perfect desk.

Get yerself some thick curtains and you're halfway there. I got 18 sheets of 4x2x2" OC 703 -type material for $120 or so, so treating that room shouldn't cost ya too much.

Nice set up.

 

[Obi-Wan zenabI]

Bwindsor,

That rack is great. I grabbed some huge racks from work that were on the way to the dump, only to find that the rack rails were drilled all unevenly.
I've considered using wood to replace them, as the rails I find online won't fit.

Looks like you have wood rails for your gear-- what size of wood did you use? are the units just screwed in with wood screws or is it predrilled and used with bolts/nuts? Thanks again

edit: holy crap! that picture frame tuner in the rack photo is *amazing*

 

[Obi-Wan zenabI]

best. tuner. ever.

emminently cooler than all the beer signs in various home reccer's studios everywhere.

Oh, I'm already painted man, but thanks. I love my "Jazz".
