Thanks for the likes guys! Any recommendations for getting either the midi controller or the keyboard off the desk?

I see a lot of people taking their keyboards/MIDI off their main desk and putting it to the side on a separate stand or desk

Agreed, although I feel like this would cripple my workflow; It may be the only way to get this controller off the desk top. Maybe I'll have to weld something together...

Buy a simple X-rack dude. You should be able to set the height to slip it just under your desk. Though you have controls on the top so might not just want the keys exposed like that..

Yeah a slideout rack would be ideal. I tried the X rack already. Can't find one short enough to fit under my desk properly, and then I cant hit the buttons as you stated.

BX5a added for now Adam A7X will come in the future and run those side by side.

Great monitors

Just an update. After the holidays I am going to add 6 bass traps, cloud, more early reflection absorption and reconstruct some of the furniture to make it fit for the studio. Ditched the idea of a new desk for the moment.

Here is it:

What you cant see in the back is my bed made to look and be used as a couch in day time.

Also I am going to build an iso booth for recording guitars, vocals, percussion (too small for a whole drum kit) ect..

Post pics when you get it all set up!!

That's my next big upgrade, I think. As you can see.... no room on my desk for any extra monitors(both kinds )!

I finally got myself some studio monitors! I've only been putting it off for a year and a bit, not to mention three releases! Maybe I can finally hear some blatant mistake I've been making

Anyway, my home studio setup looks more the part now. Just need an Axe-FX II and a midi keyboard or something!

 

[axxessdenied]

Good call! They are great monitors. It's nice not having to use headphones all the time, much less tiring to mix for long hours You can definitely hear a lot more of what is going on!
I still need to go to the headphones to check the low-end though as these are lacking being only 5". These monitors plus the ATH-M50S are an amazing combo, I think

My headphones have a massive bass boost so if I need to check I'll just use those I had used PC speakers for mixing as well, not ideal but using a lot of other mixes for references kept me right...mostly!

You should get some Auralex MoPads to put under your monitors. It makes a huge improvement in the sound.

This is my setup so far. The zoomed out pic doesn't show my current speakers though.

My current setup:

Homebuilt high-end PC running Cubase 5, Superior Drummer 2.3.

POD HD500>Marshall Valvestate 8008 Rack Power amp> Yamaha Stagepas 300 speakers (not exactly the best for mixing, but they do the job and have a flat enough response)

Also, a 2011 Ibanez RG350 DXZ (White) and a 2001 Ibanez K-7 (Firespeak Blue), along with my Yamaha PSR-170 keyboard (only using it as a MIDI keyboard)
