Show Us Your Home Studio Setup!

[KingAenarion]

Here is my mix room and rack...

Can't actually tell what all your gear is from the photos.

More explanation? I can see what some of the stuff is, but other crap is harder to tell

Like the MacPro/G5 whatever it is.
HS80Ms
Focal Twin6 BEs
Is that the 9098 AMEK?

I can't really tell what the 500 units are, I recognise the comp unit on the right, but can't remember where from.

Also the unit with the green lights on the top of the 16RU, I know that but can't for the life of remember where I've used it.

Obviously the PC and patchbay, but I can't tell what the one on top of the PC is. I thought for a moment it might be the power amp for the monitors, but the Focals are powered.


Please alleviate my pain!

PC = power conditioner

I thought it was the 9098

The Dual Vandergraph, I remember using that now, twas quite tasty indeed!

 

[Estock]

HAHA. Wow. I've had a long day.

I really like the Dual Vander. It's beefy and does some great things for a rock mix. Great for smashing drums too.

It's great. The even and odd knobs give you alot of tonal option. Even gives more beef and odd makes things brighter. It's nice when you're trying to fit things into a dense mix.

Actually I have bought quite a bit and that picure of the room was before I got the panels up. I'll take new pics to show. Way to be positive though..ha

Was just musing that you had spent probably close to $100k on your studio setup, yet there appeared to be no acoustic treatment. It is not uncommon on forums like these to see people invest huge amounts in things while neglecting basic things like quality cabling, acoustic treatment or getting the instrument serviced by a professional every now and then.

The two most important things in a studio: room treatment and good monitors. If what you're hearing isn't accurate you're recording and mixing based on inaccurate assumptions.

[Jason Reeder]

A straightforward setup with a Mac Mini running Logic and a Mackie Universal Pro for the real feeling of mixing ... and blinky/flashy lights!

Inside the box:
Nomad Factory Analog Signature Pack EQ, Studio Channel, & Limiter
Nomad Factory Magnetic II
BBE Sonic Suite

Outside the box:
ART Pro MPA II preamp
M-Audio FastTrack Pro
'90s "vintage" JVC Home Stereo

It's served me well thus far...

Hey man, nice clean set up.

A couple of suggestions. You seem to have some room, so move your desk away from the wall and have your monitors about 1 metre away from the wall and closer together (behind the desk). This will clean up your stereo image, your early reflections off of the back wall and a whole bunch of other basic things really quickly and easily.

Feels good, comfortable

 

[AryaBara]

Just bought a HDMI cable, and I connect my laptop to my tv

I toned down the amount of gear and got some treatment (Vicoustic Wavewood) for the living room:

What I have atm:

Sennheiser HD600
KRK VXT4
KPA
Arturia Minibrute
Steinberg MR816X
Behringer ADA8000
ESI U24XL for at home s/pdif recording with the KPA (it's a POS, not recommended)
Golden Age Pre-73
Symetrix 525
SM7B, SM57, i5, M201, D6

Going to add a Radial Workhorse Cube and a Shadow Hills GAMA soon. Then I can start gassing for more 500 pres.
