Im sure i will find a use for your 'unused rack' :D
 
MY GOD MAN! Are you trying to give me writers cramp????? LOL I have at least 36 that I can see in this room (control room) and probably 20 or so in the recording room. Maybe one day I will find the time to write them all down and I promise I will post it in here w/pictures. But that day is not "this" day. lol. Good post though, always love seeing what everyone else has :D

It's not how big your rack is it's how you use it LMAO ;)
 
Is this how many rack spaces you have? Or how many rack spaces does the equipment that you own take up? Because I have alot of empty spaces that I will fill eventually.

Anyway. scroll down a bit

This is just my rack gear (to keep on topic) not counting the patchbays. About 120 rack spaces, without the patchbays...
 
Like another poster in this thread, I do VO... mostly commercial, but also some animation. As such, my needs are somewhat simple, so I'll just mention my VO rack (makes it easier as I know I have close to 100Us of gear).

In no particular order:

Groove Tubes Vipre (3U)
Power Conditioner (2U)
UPS (2U)
Pacifica (1U) - ON ORDER
Crane Song Trakker (x2) (1U each) - RECEIVED TODAY
Purple Audio MC 77 (2U)
Empirical Labs 'Lil FrEQ (1U)
Universal Audio M-610 (2U)
MP-2A (2U)
Coleman VU meters (x2) (2U each)
Germanium pre (1U)
Germanium Tone Control (1U)
Empirical Labs EL8-X Distressor (x2) (1U each)
Rosetta 200 (1U)
Zephyr Xtream MXP (2U)
Modular Patch Panel (x2) (1U each)

that's about it really... probably overkill for just the VO side, but not bad overall. The other racks are more intense.
 
I'd like to have as few as possible and a number have been sold in the last couple of weeks. The numbers are less scary if I leave out synths and patch bays. I still have too many: 11 are in fairly regular use and 9 aren't. Much of what I actually use now is smaller and not actually "rack" ready:

M-Audio Omni I/O
Sound Devices MixPre
Great River ME-1NV
Altec 1567A 4x1 mike mixer (a rack unit)
FMR RNC (rackable)
Roland SVC-350 Vocoder (a rack unit)
Furman TX-3 crossover and DOD 15 band stereo graphic used to condition the 2-mix signal to a pair of VU meters (both are rack units)
Hafler DH-200 power amp (rackable with a plate)
custom made PAiA dual compressor, preamp, tone control box (I made it for the Stick, but it has been used for all kinds of instruments) which is roughly rack width but built as a stand alone box
MXR Digital Time Delay (rackmount)


Then there's the rackmount stuff that sees little action:

Roland DEP-5
4 PAiA units: Dual Limiter, Ducker, Tube Head and Stereo Compressor
Ramko distribution amp
Roland SMX-880 stereo line mixer (x2)
another Hafler DH-200 power amp

Guess I need to sell more stuff... :)

Cheers,

Otto
