hey guys, i'm curious to see just how everyone's home studio looks like and since it's not yet an option to post pictures in your profile maybe you'd post them here. actually i'm looking for a better setup as far as desks go and looking for some ideas!
keep in mind that this is a family oriented site so don't be an idiot!
here's mine:

Aug 31, 2003 03:14 pm Wowzers, nice! I'll have mine up in a bit... although I don't think I have as much gear to show off-- but I do have a home made rack!
Aug 31, 2003 03:25 pm When my MX3282a finally gets sold I will take a picture of my new setup.
jues.
Aug 31, 2003 04:13 pm What? Is it really THAT ugly? :)
Aug 31, 2003 04:40 pm Okay, here's a little collage I made of the various sections of my studio- mostly just the desk. The picture's a little fuzzy, but it's not too bad. It's all in my basement, which was just recently re-finished and isn't quite done. I can't wait untill I get that new pre-amp, though, that will make things look cooler :)
Aug 31, 2003 05:25 pm you all are so clean! my "studio" is a complete disaster area.
Sep 01, 2003 04:02 am hey el...lava lamp, cool!
i look forward to the day that ive got room for a proper ergonic studio set up!
Sep 01, 2003 04:04 am and porp...cool set up man, i didnt know you played drums...or arnt they yours?
whatever, its all cool!
Sep 01, 2003 08:13 am Thanks, Flame. Yes, I do play the drums. Only for 3 years or so-- And I just bought that set a couple months ago. I never told myself I was going to start learning or anything, it just sort of happened. And then after a few years of playing on other people's sets it got to the point that I was good enough that I decided I deserved a set of my own :) So now I can actually practice- which is good. It's also nice to have all three main "rock band" instruments right where you record so you can track everything without calling someone else up if you want to. As for lava lamps-- I've been thinking I should put mine down in the studio too, except that I'm afraid I'd knock it down off the top of the desk and break it! I love the color combo in el Musico's room. Even the lava lamp matches-- And that light in the back is stylin' :)
Sep 02, 2003 01:35 am i need to find my attachment for my camera to get my pics on here.
not a whole lot to look at. that top picture made me envious of your work environment.
btw. im amazed this topic never came up before now.
Sep 02, 2003 01:52 am hey thanks for the props on the room! just remember, a comfortable workspace doesn't mean my room is tuned... of course that is next when i build the new desk setup. i'd like to move everything out of the corner and in the center off the left wall so my setup is symmetrical to the room and i want to take the speakers of the desk and decouple them on separate stands.
i'm in the process of designing a folding/breakaway iso-room for vox by using four 7' X 3 1/2' plywood planks insulated by soundboard from home depot (both sides), and attaching the panels by piano hinges and some weather stripping, then stapling some black fabric to everything to make it look pretty. when i'm done, and if it works well, i'll post some pictures or maybe contribute it to the tutorial section for others to try.
Sep 02, 2003 01:48 pm This topic did come up once before a long time ago, but nobody really participated. I never got around to taking any pictures, so I was happy when it came around again.
Sep 02, 2003 01:51 pm I will have to get a pic of my new setup with my new desk I just finished and everything, it rocks...I love me new desk! and all my gear fits in it perfectly :-)
Sep 02, 2003 04:50 pm There are pics of my studio on the KTM records site: www.ktmrecords.tk
A lot has changed since then... well not much really.
Sep 03, 2003 12:16 pm Johnny Hero,Porpoise,el musico...your studios look great! I'm working on mine...still in the building process. When I'm through I'd like you guy's to check it out.
Sep 03, 2003 12:22 pm Johnny, the practice space/studio is awesome...oh I remember those days...also, I love the logo for "Kill the MiddleMan". too cool.
Sep 03, 2003 01:55 pm Haha... good ol' Josh. There's a lot more grafiti these days though.
The pics just don't do the place justice. It's really a cool place. It's not the best for recording, but it's great for practicing.
And believe it or not, we've had quite a few shows in there.
Sep 04, 2003 02:30 pm It's just made out of 3/4" plywood, stained to my liking and held together with wood screws. It has one shelf in the middle to keep the thing stable and hold some of my non-rackmountable stuff. It's got 4 small casters on the bottom so I can wheel it around. If I could go back and make it again (Which I may do some day) I would have made it a little wider and bought actual metal rack 'rails,' which I didn't realize you could buy when I built it. So everything is just screwed into the wood with regular rack screws (Just drill a hole before you mount). Next one I make I think I'll add a couple of coats of polyurithane to make the thing shine :) If you do make one, just realize that you have to be REALLY precise with all your cutting and measurements or it won't fit together right. Also, if you do put a shelf in it, I would recommend making it so the shelf doesn't go all the way back so you can have more space for wiring.
Sep 05, 2003 07:11 am Thanks man, But it's just another beater in Germany. The Germans call it an Oma (Grandma) Porsche.
Sep 05, 2003 08:11 pm i know this family that calls their dutch grandparents oma and opa.
~:o:~
i've got a few pics around here somewhere... more people post! i wanna see too!
Sep 06, 2003 05:25 am I'm from holland and EVERYONE calls his grandparents oma and opa ;) just means the same as grandma and grandpa
damn i really forgot about your samples
I'm gonna record some of them right now
me speaking dutch...
(I'll just read a page of a book out loud or something)
Sep 06, 2003 05:31 am well that page is done
lol it's a page from a Schoolbook from when I was 5 whaha
If you want I can get you a recording of my girlfriend reading the same page
IF she's willing to cooperate (she'dd better)
Sep 06, 2003 11:01 am :O) that'd be excellent! i'm on a fast connection if you want to tranfer it. it'd be easier then spending €5 or whatever to mail a CD. what's the subject of the book?
as for pics, well i've posted this before, but this is where i'm going to be doing some acoustic tracks and maybe more a little later this afternoon. not my studio, just an extension of my workspace listen.to/garrett/bathroom.html
Sep 06, 2003 12:29 pm It's an introduction to the parents of the children what their children will learn or whatever
Sep 06, 2003 12:31 pm I've added you to my msn so whenever your online I'll transfer it
Sep 06, 2003 01:22 pm jamie. you either live:
a)by yourself
or
b)with another guy
no woman would allow that to stay in her bathroom. =)
Sep 08, 2003 07:45 pm Artistic look at my studio (I got bored in photoshop trying to conpinsate for my crappy camera :)
Please note the old skool soundcarft desk - kinda need a new mixer :)

Sep 09, 2003 03:41 am doesnt she just scream a lot...kinda like a whale but higher?
Sep 09, 2003 04:22 am human behaviour is still my favorite song of hers. i need more like that one.

Sep 09, 2003 06:14 am forty, check out "Army of Me" from the album Post and "Violently Happy" from Debut
the regular album versions, not the remixes
cool stuff
Sep 09, 2003 07:23 am Here is my home setup, a few months ago:
And here is a closeup of the desk:
Sep 09, 2003 10:04 am you gonna flog that mixer off then jues, when ya get a new one?
Sep 09, 2003 10:06 am hey j.scott, you use a tascam 4 track as a mixewr? i used to do that - brilliant aint it!
basic, but they do the job!
Sep 09, 2003 10:09 am Hey flame - well, if you really want it you can have it. Tho I must tell you it's quite noisy and it has a few of its faders missing (it's in pretty bad nic - hence I'm getting a new one :D)
jues.
Sep 09, 2003 10:58 am cool, can i also get the flipcycle cd ya promised me? im dying to hear that...i'd even pay for one!
;-)
anywaya, let me know when the time's right and we'll sort something out...ill send ya some beer vouchers or something...
Sep 09, 2003 11:28 am flame - you do know you can download the whole CD as 160Kbps mp3's
www.flipcycle.com/media/ep01/01_swandive.mp3
www.flipcycle.com/media/ep01/02_latne.mp3
www.flipcycle.com/media/ep01/03_vor.mp3
jues.
Sep 09, 2003 11:31 am ahh, ive got the first two, but not 'vor' - which come up as a 404...
Sep 09, 2003 02:41 pm Hey MadPuffin (Nice name!)-- What do you think of that ART pre-amp? Do you like it?
Sep 09, 2003 05:28 pm Porpoise--
It's nice--warm, though it can be noisy.
Works pretty well as a bass DI as well as as a mic preamp, by the way.
Sep 09, 2003 11:35 pm im so jelous i look so wussy without a board and monitors.. but one day... when i blow all my money.. i will be cool :)
then ill post a pic
Sep 10, 2003 04:14 pm Jues-- I can't seem to download the songs either. The only one I could get was Swandive, directly from flipcycle.com. Maybe if you repost them as actual links on the board here than you can right click and save target and it will work.
A little question about swandive--
You have the singer's vocals doubled up in the Chorus, right? I can't tell if you've got two tracks panned left and right or one in the middle and 2 off the sides or what. Anyways, it sounds really cool. I hear a lot of that slight multitap delay that you talk about and I've begun using a lot. The vocals are only doubled in the chorus, though, right? Thanks, man.
Sep 10, 2003 04:34 pm Hey
Well, it appears someone (probably al) has deleted the 160kbps mp3's from the site - can't say I blame him, EP01's pretty old. We're working on the next ep (our 3rd one, the 2nd one got scrapped ;) which should be ready soonish (drums are done, just waiting for the bass player to get his arse into gear).
ALL the vocals in swandive were double tracked and panned about 25% in either direction - they also have a multi-tap delay on them.
Laters.
Sep 10, 2003 04:45 pm Okay, cool. Thanks, Jues.
Sep 12, 2003 01:07 pm tell 'al' he's a cheeky monkey jues
are your cd's stocked in all the 'fopp' stores? we've got one here (in cambridge)...ill have to ask for your stuff and see if they know what im talking about!
Sep 12, 2003 03:29 pm "cheeky monkey"
I wonder if we can get a new glossary for all the crazy slang flame always utters.
cheeky monkey....
Sep 15, 2003 02:05 pm crazy slang? i'll have you know these are utterences completely in keeping with the british parlance dear boy! in yorkshire we're even worse!!!
"ah'm just bobbin off t'bobs to get that ten bob he owes us, i'll be chippin down the ginnel to 'is!" (i'm going to roberts to get the money he owes me. i'll be taking the alleyway to his house)
can you tell i'm bored?
Sep 15, 2003 04:06 pm Friday is national talk like a pirate day.
www.talklikeapirate.com/piratehome.html
So all you blimey bilge rags better be talkin' like pirates or I'll make you walk t'plank.
Arr, ye whoreson' blaggart! I be needen' t'have a piss.
Sep 15, 2003 04:20 pm wow, awesome. i see how how all this applies to studio photos. ingenious.
arrrrgh. hehe
Sep 15, 2003 06:21 pm Well they were talking like brits so I remembered about the talk like a pirate day.
Sep 15, 2003 06:29 pm hmm.. never thought of a priate accent as british. i just assumed it was ficticious, but i guess the sea dogs we read about in world history were brits huh?
well the pirates i hear on TV sound more like a cross between an english accent and a drunk redneck. arrrgrgghhh!
Sep 16, 2003 02:10 am Redneck Pirates... now that'd be great. Specially if they were fighting off a team of Space Ninjas and Mr. T
