prophetik music Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 boy, i wish i had that setup. Quote
Fishy Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 My new digs in appalling cell phone quality, better quality coming soon (my housemate is a photography enthusiast): That monitor is simultaneously connected to my macbook, my gaming pc, my ps2 and my haxbox tree-sitty, whatever I want to use it for. I also have my beloved cake poster for inspiration. Stuff of note: Korg Nanokey Chair is blocking your view of Guitar RigKontrol Keyboard is blocking your view of Tascam US144 soundcard My latest guitar on the right, Ibanez AJD91-c (chocobolo) Closeup: Quote
Level 99 Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Fishy! Looks like you and I play the same keyboard! Here's a few of my desk and whatever instruments I happened to be tooling around with at the time: Quote
Harmony Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Looks like you've got a Lambda interface there, but is that another interface in the 5.25" drive bay? Quote
Level 99 Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Looks like you've got a Lambda interface there, but is that another interface in the 5.25" drive bay? Yes, something I actually brought back to life last week. I don't know how I fixed it, but that little thing there breaking was the reason I got the Lambda in the first place: Creative X-Fi Platinum. It died a while back and I was sick of dealing with Creative products and drivers so I opted for the Lambda and said "to hell with it". I had compy issues last week resulting in the consolidation of my gaming and music PCs together, and for shits-and-giggles I tried the X-Fi after straightening some capacitors and carefully cleaning out a lot of the connection spots...and it fucking worked. Great for recording a "What U Hear" track now, and just easier to prevent driver conflicts between music players/web and Sonar instances. Also, that's a Pod XT there, an Ibanez AEL20E acoustic-electric, a Gibson SG faded, and a bunch of random crap (Mics are MXL 990 and 991) Quote
theshaggyfreak Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Just in case anyone wants to see a pic of my Les Paul... Quote

Like analoq said earlier in this thread, OCR musicians really should be commended for how much they're able to accomplish with the limited/cheap/broken/homemade/"consumer-grade" equipment that fills most of our studios. I've heard a lot of music here that doesn't just sound "good for someone with limited resources". I've heard lots of music that's just plain good.Just in case anyone wants to see a pic of my Les Paul...sexy Quote
theshaggyfreak Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Oh, and here's a sort of 270 degree view of my little studio to give you a better idea of where I work. It's not a very good attempt at doing this sort of thing but you get the idea of what the room looks like. http://www.bsodmusic.com/temp/thestudio.jpg Quote
Level 99 Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Sennheiser HD 280 Pro and Rode NT1-A. Mmmm, fun. I keep hearing things about the Sennheiser HD 280 Pros!!! I'm really tempted to just say "fuck it" and order a pair. Better than the sony-stock with a half-chewed wire I've been using. Also, nice shock-mount. I only recently got a pop-filter for the first time ever, and it truly does make a huge difference.

Black hole up there or something? OH! And I see a PS2 controller on top of an amp...were you playing games while you could have been posting WIPs? For shame, shaggy, for shame!!! I really like your setup though, and that Les Paul looks like a dream. Quote

For shame, shaggy, for shame!!! I have some emulators on that machine for when I occasionally need a brain break but it doesn't get used that often. I swear my wife uses it more to play Dr Mario.

Harmony Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 I keep hearing things about the Sennheiser HD 280 Pros!!! I'm really tempted to just say "fuck it" and order a pair. 15% off sale at Guitar Center this weekend, now's you're chance! Although I'd go in and listen on a few other pairs before taking the plunge. I like them, but I could see someone not liking them as well. I only recently got a pop-filter for the first time ever, and it truly does make a huge difference.Before I bought that, I held a sock (a clean, one mind you) in front of my mouth to keep plosives out without having to angle my head away from the mic. After years of practice I had perfected the technique, and the results were great, but it wasn't too impressive when I had people over to record. Ladies love a rock singer, not a sock singer :tomatoface: Quote
big giant circles Posted September 23, 2009 Author Posted September 23, 2009 Is it just me, or am I counting 10 walls inside TSF's studio? That picture is a mind-trip Very nice guitar, btw. Quote

audio fidelity Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 stevo i actually wouldn't recommend those senns - the plastic that wraps around the top of the top of my cans is still breaking apart from simply using them - and the drivers seem weak - they are extremely comfortable and great for blocking out sound if your doing a vox take but i wouldn't buy them again myself Quote
big giant circles Posted September 24, 2009 Author Posted September 24, 2009 For a comparable price range, AKG makes some decent (and comfortable) headphones. Although, despite what Jay's saying, I'm not sure I know a better value than the HD280's for paying under $90 for a pair. I don't know from personal experience, but I've heard that Beyer Dynamic makes pretty decent stuff. Personally, I've got the M-Audio Q40's. They sound great, but I'll be the first to admit, they're uncomfortable as hell, even after breaking them in for a year. ***** Remember, use our affiliate links with either Amazon or Zzonds, and not only do you still get the best deal, OCR gets a small percentage of the sale. Win/Win! Quote

Win/Win! Well, you got a small percentage cause I just ordered the Senn 280's on recommendation from Avaris last night. Sorry Jay, thanks for the tip about the plastic though. I'll make sure to be super-extra-special-plastic-wrap-over-it-like-an-older-person's-sofa careful. Someone tell me when OCR offers a time-space altering device under the "stuff we think rocks" section. Those headphones that DJP swears by look pretty sweet too... Quote
The Vagrance Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Finally got my dorm studio set up, thanks to a new toy. Notice my lack of cleaning (I was out this weekend and I caught some sickness that has been floating around campus) and lack of care of said lack of cleaning... Quote

Will try to take a pic of my set-up next week once something new and cool arrives bwhahaha. Quote
The Vagrance Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 What happened to your Nord dude? I still have it, but its at home as my dorm room is rather tiny so I don't have enough room for it . Quote
Fishy Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 Ok as promised, some wide lens action: (Man my house mates camera is ludicrous, the pic he gave me was 3000x2000.) Quote
LuketheXjesse Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 uuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh why do you have so many guitars... /jealous Quote
prophetik music Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 that's six megapixels. not THAT big =) love the guitar corner, dude, that looks hilarious. just a bunch of necks sticking up. Quote
Fishy Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 Because I worked for a year in my gap year and wasted all my savings! I have more... they're just uber cheap and not worth the space to bring. editprophetsniped: lol well i only have my crappy macbook camera which r balls. Also yeah, the guitar corner is my friend :3.
