Studio Pics

I'm also moving away from *everything connected* to keeping some stuff on the shelf and only the stuff I'm using on the table. Seems much more efficient and inspiring.

Yes! Especially if you're sensitive to visual clutter.

I am. :-)

Me too. To a fault :P

HHmmm good ideas all around. That totally makes sense. I think I tend to use any stable configuration for a project, so then I have to explore all the variations possible within that setup.

The main annoyance I face now, is that I always make music at night after the baby is asleep, and our flat is kinda small, so I have to be quite. I can't be banging around all the time. In that sense it's nice to have a stable setup I can just switch on and use.

That makes a lot of sense. I'm fortunate to have a room dedicated to music. That said, I don't think I make too much noise setting stuff up... I could be wrong though. Would it be helpful for you to put down some fabric to dampen the sound of your gear being put on solid surfaces? I imagine this would also help protect your gear and those surfaces too. I do this with my mixer because it tends to scratch up surfaces if I don't. Also it's a way to make your workspace look a little classier.

How does one fall into this occupation?

I've been in between apartments for almost 4 months now... My gear is all packed up. Im going kind of crazy! I can't wait to hook it all back up again...

most recent pics of the studio, newest kit is the yamahas, tx802 (dx7 rack) and 02r (digi mixer)

jesus how long did that little collection take to get together. I'm not even sure I'd be able to productively use a studio that big hahahaha.

Very drool-worthy. I might have to save those pix.

iv'e had the mc303 since the mid 90's i think so been buying cheap gear since then but most of the stuff was picked up in the last 7-8 years, i got a full time job, a 3 bedroom flat and found ebay

i spend most of my time playing around in here, not very productive but i think thats just me, i dont do much if i'm just using my laptop either

a great place to lose a few hours tho ;)

haha fair enough. :) I think the best route to a proper studio is always through cheap kit unless you really want to dump thousands all at one time. Since I'm american, and I live in Europe I try to bring stuff over here when I visit home, and resell it for the european price. :) I have a family and stuff so I can't really justify spending tons on stuff for fun only. Electribes are perfect as they are not super common here and always in demand. I can get almost double here for them! Eventually I'd like to have an mpc or some elektron kit for sequencing. And a new mixer. :p

BTW I love how you've setup your mixer. Did you build those angled rack cases yourself? Nice stuff. :)

Trust me - working for "artists" can be a fucking pain in the motherfucking ass.

oh no I'd never do this for money. :p I work as a graphic designer so I know exactly what it's like being a creative professional. Shit can be so exhausting. I would like to produce a band sometime, but I'd never just be a recording engineer or mix dood. no way.
