AngelCityOutlaw Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 There are very successful producers out there who don't use anything more than a laptop. Well, I'm not really an audio dude lol Until 2010, I still wrote music with nothing more than notation software, my guitar and piano. I then found out about virtual instruments and DAWs so now I do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederic Petitpas Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Are you very small or are the keys of your piano ultra giant ?? Keys look 2 inches wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neifion Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Lol, well, they are full-size keys. But maybe it's just some bad forced perspective... or I'm a hobbit.

Lemming88 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Well, this is my setup, as soon as i graduate and work profesionally, i'll be able to upgrade everything (right know i'm a half time worker/college student). I am just starting, i haven't made anything serious yet (shameful, i know), i'm just waiting to finish college. On the mean time, i'm studying music theory, Fl Studio stuff, and getting practice on the instruments you see there. It's basically: '91 Ibanez RG550 MIJ guitar '92 Fender Jazz MIJ Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 Yamaha HS50M Samson Carbon 49 AKG K240 cans (bought them because everyone recommened them here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemming88 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Alot of people seem to be digging those Yamaha HS monitors. Since i'm a noob, i know my opinion won't matter a lot, but yes, imho, they're great. I bought them because of the good reviews on the net, and because many friends on this kind of stuff only say wonders 'bout 'em. Of course there are a lot more better monitors, but much more expensive. These ones i think are pretty hard to beat in terms of value.

Esperado Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) Guess I'll break the mystery and join the festivities. I cant resist good studio porn. Nice and clean also, i would say that the entry level yamaha monitors are probably the best you could get for the price point, of course i didnt buy them because i got a stupid good deal on KRK monitors.

Wiesty Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I'm looking into some different monitors currently. I've been using wharfdales, but they are too coloured, not "reference" monitors. The yamahas I hear good things about, but they are designed after the famous NS-10's, which from what I've read have never made great main monitors, only for checking for translation. I'm looking at Mackie, KRK, JBL...a whole bunch of different kinds. Currently my nice pair of speakers are my JBL L112s. They arent "Reference monitors" but they are very transparent, and make a good second set for checking mixes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshaggyfreak Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I moved from the Rokit 6's to the Yamaha HS80m monitors and found it to be a good upgrade. They've very flat and are pretty easy to mix with. I liked the KRK monitors but I had a series of build quality issues that made me want to move over to Yamaha. Flexstyle, I do have quite a bit of stuff in this little room. You're not even seeing the wall that's behind me in that picture. I have another desk with an iMac that I use for doing graphic design stuff. There's also a little CRT and a stack of classic consoles for gaming. It's a good room to spend hours in.

Nabeel Ansari Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) Current space. Really cramped, uncomfortable, and I have a roommate (really bad for personal reasons), and honestly, being able to fit my piano in here was a miracle. But the important part is I have everything. Everything: -Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 -Bose Companion 2 Series III Speakers (Don't have room for real ones) -AKG k240 Headphones -MXL-990 Condenser Microphone -Casio Privia Pro PX-5S 88 key Digital Stage Piano -Killer desktop (2011): Core i7-2600 8GB 1333MHz DDR3 RAM 240GB Kingston HyperX SATA III SSD 640GB WD Caviar Black HDD EVGA GTX 460 1GB -Software: FL Studio 11 Native Instruments Komplete 8 EastWest Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra Gold Edition Miroslav Philharmonik ISW Celestia, Juggarnaut, Forest Frame Drums, Resonance: Emotional Mallets MusicLab RealGuitar 3 8Dio Steinway 1969 Legacy Grand, Orange Tree Samples CoreBass Pear Miscellaneous Kontakt Libraries Alchemy: Planet Earth Library Various Free or Demo Synthesizers Lots of oneshots, drumloops, soundscapes, etc. I remember when I was a little kid (circa 2005) and I didn't own zilch. I borrowed Shariq's laptop and used the installed FruityLoops 6 to make really bad sound. I didn't even know what notes were at the time! How the sucky have risen.

But the important part is I have everything -Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 Why so many inputs and outputs for such a small room? Could be real useful if you decide to do any drum mic stuff I guess. Seems like overkill for general production though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
