It happens. You could edit the other so that it has no text in it so it won't take too much space though..

Cool setup anyway!

The things I would do for such a big empty room!
Maybe you know this already, I know you have a corner desk so that's probably your reason - but I'd really suggest setting up in the middle of the wall and getting the speaker away from the corner. Even move away from the wall behind them if possible. You have the real estate for a great monitoring setup!

Found some massive, ancient speakers in the attic. Set them up for a bit of vintage swag...

It is a rental unfortunately so deadening the room is going to be hard, and thanks for the tip with the monitors, I will move them and see how I go

Furniture, bookcases, lamps and shades of varying sizes, area rugs, etc...

Traps and soundproofing can be mounted to plywood and hung like a painting. Rolled up sleeping bags placed in the corner as traps. You get the idea.

There's a lot of rental friendly ways to do it.

Damn, I need to rip out the fukin closet in my studio to make it more open!
Teh weekend-project, I will take some pictures when everything's set and done!

 

[Jesse7]

simple, but it works

My humble setup. The desk I made myself and built it into a recessed part of the wall that faces the longest part of the room.

Roland MA-150 Monitors
Behringer XENYX 1204 Mixer
Behringer Ultra DI100 DI Box
ESP LTD-607

Nothing much, only one guitar but it works for me.

This thread is a good way to make your setup feel small and unworthy. However I am extremely new to recording so It's to be expected I think

But for recording i use my pod xt pro -> logic 8 & beyerdynamic DT770 Pros. Into a macbook pro with 8 gigs of ram, its pretty beefy.

I'm still convinced my pod can get a better tone than my engl rig, so its definitely the way I'll go for recording.

Also my 2 guitars, Ran custom and RG2570.

sweet!
very clean looking and that blue guitar is awesome!


is that rack case a Thon eco II 35 6U? Thon Rack 6U Eco II 35 - Thomann UK Cyberstore

if so, what is (or was) it like? is it robust?

Everything runs flawlessly! I love my setup. Although I wish I had monitor stands instead of books, i feel like they get the job done without having to pay a ton of money for something I pretty much already have. I just recently built the computer and its amazing how fast and how much it can do. Multiple VST's on every track and whatever else I want to do and it doesnt even blink!

^ DUDE!

1) Get your speaker off the top of your Axe.

Speakers are magnets. Magnets are not good for sensitive electronics!

2) Bring your monitors closer together. Books are fine, but you'll get a distorted stereo field if they're that far apart.

Awesome to see this thread persevering!

I've added a few things to my setup, namely an Axe-FX II, a Chandler Germanium Preamp/DI, and a pair of Ultrasone PRO900 headphones, all of which I am extremely happy with indeed! On the software side of things I recently got hold of Ozone 5, which I've been using for almost all of my mix-bus processing since, and Slate 4, which I'm mainly using for snare and kick augmentation.

iMac 27" i7 processor 16GB RAM, running Logic Pro 9

Ultrasone PRO900 headphones
Fractal Audio Axe-FX II
