Greetings,
I had promised a while back I'd post pictures of my homemade console table, so, without further delay, here they are. The first two pictures are the open table without all of the support pieces, and without the gear. I chose to build an open table (meaning no top surface) so this way the tascam mixers I'm using have more than adequate cooling underneath. On the table right now are:
(1) Tascam TMD-4000 mixers - 8-bus mixers connected to two Akai DR8's recorders via Adat cards.
(3) Tascam TMD-1000 mixers, - daisy chained L/R used as a giant digital keyboard mixer. The leftmost mixer has an IF-TAD that connects my Korg Triton Rack via ADAT to the TDIF port, and the second two TMD-1000's have an IF-TAD adat to TDIF converter connecting to two Alesis AI-3 TRS to ADAT converters (using the input side).
The upper left of the front of the console table above the mixers, are the two Akai DR8's. I have two others which will mount directly underneath them, with the two computers I use for composing/mixing/automating.
The upper right area is my Cuepoint, and the power switches for everything. I have the computer/monitors on one switch (so I can surf without the studio on), a second switch for the studio, two dimmer switches (seperate circuits) for dimmers (one for the above-console track lights, one for the vocal booth which isn't there yet), and one final switch that flips on the "recording" lights that I have mounted, not wired, in certain key places. I have one recording light mounted above the bathroom door that connects to my console room, one mounted outside the house above the side door that gives access to my console room, and one in the eave of the front of the house above the garage. This is to encourage people not to flush, ring the doorbell, or honk their horns while the light is on
Of course, my girlfriend is the only individual that knows what the small 1" red lights mean at this moment.
Anyway, four pictures in all, so enjoy
