CC Ricers Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I'm actually in the middle of building a new studio desk, so my studio is kind of wonky at the moment.I made an album of my progress, which you can see here I'll put a picture up when I actually have the shelving on it I love DIY studio projects. My friend is trying to make his own wooden coffin for a desktop DJ setup, he wants the computer encased in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daJungKI Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) not sure if this is the right thread for this; if not, i apologize. for remixers who record vocals/live instruments, what kind of setup do you have? i'm hoping to record and was advised to create a good recording environment first. any input (or pictures) would be greatly appreciated!

Sixto Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 i think a treated environment is more important for mixing (unless youre using headphones obviously) but for vocals, i would look into something like this. cheaper and very effective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noTuX Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) LOL...just looking through some of the pics... Really awesome sutff, but I have no idea what most of this shit even is! I even looked up some of it on Google. Sad... I thought I was gonna have a seizure looking at all of that shit.

nOkbient Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Been long enough before I posted this. Here's the cave. Don't take this the wrong way, but your studio looks like the back of a church... Especially with that organ. Imho, I think you need some snazzy mood lightling to brighten up the place. Also, what synth is that (on the really tiny stand hehe)? ...and also BONGOS!

XPRTNovice Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Dude, the studio needs some serious work, both aesthetically and ergonomically. I just haven't come up with a plan yet. That wood paneling is just gross, and the desk is nice, but not built for what I need it for. It's also acoustically bad - and behind those 1/8" thick wood panels is the LAUNDRY ROOM AND FURNACE. So I get all that lovely ambient noise. Synth is a Moog Little Phatty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argle Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I would feel exposed being in the living room like that. Like, stfu people, stop looking at me. Don't worry, this will sound better in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nOkbient Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Meet Douglas. My new, goliath, heavy, amazing, hulking keyboard amplifier I saved from destruction at my school. They were literally about to throw this in the dumpster because it was "too big and broken." http://i.imgur.com/hZyIdx4.jpg WELLLLLLL, it turns out these things still go on retail for $700. I guess they've just had it in a fucking closet for years. Well, it's NOT broken. They just didn't know what a freaking XLR cable was. It works PERFECTLY. I hate people sometimes...

Flexstyle Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Studio revamp time! Got me a new Ikea desk, and added another monitor, although I did discover the difference between "active" and "passive" DisplayPort adapters a bit ($15) too late. Protip: if you want to use more than two monitors, you'll need an active adapter. Oh, and I'm finally able to integrate my MPK49 into my actual studio setup, instead of an old, clunky Yamaha electric piano. Anyhoo, here's mah gear in all of its gloriousness! And of course, by "gloriousness" I mean "relative austerity." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
