OCR Cribs (the "Post Pics of your Studio Area" thread!)

I laughed so hard at that guy's comment because it was almost exactly the same thing i said to my coworkers about the photos, only much, much funnier.

What was actually recording this? Was it a camera which was picking up the sound from wherever your speakers were? Or was the sound fed directly into it?

I just noticed a guitar sitting in the background

edit: he's wearing headphones so probably he mixed the sound with the video later.

[analoq]

Yeah, max is right. Logic was recording MIDI from the controllers and audio from the analogue effects. I bounced it afterwards.

I've recorded straight from my digital camera's mic before, but it's too noisy (incredible singing analoq)

Some updated photos of my writing rig at home:

(3 x 22" + 3 x 17" LCDs, photo doesn't do it justice. It's my goal in life to be the Donald Trump of screen real-estate.)

Also, the main rack in my "machine room:"

[SenPi]

HOLY F**KING S**T!!!!!... wow.. you win my friend. (On a similar note, I should take a pic of my new setup.

[tgfoo]

Waaaay to many monitors for my liking, but whatever floats your boat.

[Abadoss]

RAGE! JEALOSY! FURY!

Just kidding, but man that's an awesome setup...

Is that a Kurzweil? Or a Korg/Roland?

[po!]

HARDCORE

what kind of monitor stands are those? or are those keyboard stands...

[Abadoss]

They look like keyboard stands with a piece of plywood or shelving on top...

[Steffan Andrews]

Keyboard is a Yamaha KX-88. Speakers are on keyboard stands, yes. We all improvise in the business at some point or the other!

Quick question:

How the hell do you guys deal with cords? I have like a billion of them now since I got this mixer. I'm trying my best not to knot them up or anything

I'll probably have a way better time of it when I move out of my parents house, and out of this little 10x10 room :'3

[Steffan Andrews]

Velcro cable ties like a mofo. Better than zap straps because you can take them off at any time.

[OverCoat]

ah, I think I have one velcro tie thing somewhere :3

problem is the cords are very far apart I have like 4 consoles going into my TV on one side, then my mixer has about 8 cords going to the back of it plus my headphones, because I have no room for monitors

it's fine for now though, I suppose

[Abadoss]

Try marking your cables with small strips of colored tape... and use the ties as well. Definitely the ties...

[Steffan Andrews]

Oh. doy. That reminds me... get a labelmaker. The Brother P-Touch ones can be found relatively cheap. I label both ends of cables. That can seriously save a lot of time and aggravation.

Yamaha, dad's guitar, funny lamp

Piano, compy

[Monobrow]

Whoa it is the famous sleepy song piano... In brand new angles and dimensions.

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Holy shit.

Do all those monitors connect to the same computer? How do you set something like that up?

[OverCoat]

that's totally doable if you do that GATTAI thing with the ATi cards.

When i got my Radeon X1650 I looked at the box and was like "Holy shit you can hook up FOUR of these things? Holy shit"

it must get really fucking hot unless you have a tiny Mr. Freeze in your computer. ICE AGE!

[Steffan Andrews]

Multiple video cards. I have the three lower ones plus the center upper screen on the main sequencing rig. The top left is my Mac, and the top right is a KVM that switches between the sampler PCs in the rack.

Okay, here's the mini "studio" I'm working from while on vacation at my mother in laws house in Tacoma, WA. Huge thanks to norg for lending me that Axiom 25 and his 5 string bass. In all I'm running everything off of that little laptop. Mainly working with Cubase 4, Drumkit From Hell Superior (Superior 2.0 as soon as it ships :D:D) and various softsynths and libraries. The instruments are a Hohner B Bass V, Carvin DC127 guitar, shitty strat copy which I have modified into a 7 string (B to B tuning) and a badass green pickup and scalloped fingerboard. Not pictured are the little practice amp that I'm running Waves GTR3 through, and my Shure SM57 that records it.

Oh, and norg and I built that awesome table together last year because I had no place to record music when I visited here. I've "modified" it (aka put hooks and hangers on it) in a way that keeps the floor and surrounding area totally free from loose cabling. My work area is totally clean and very conducive to music creation.

P.S. Yeah, I know the date on the camera is wrong, I forget to set it...

Woah I have a Dell Inspiron, an Axiom 25, and those same headphones! I've got a chair and a mouse too!!!!

[Lunahorum]

look at those red grippers in snappleman's pic!

[SenPi]

Yay! I finally bought some Studio Monitors Check it out
