Show Us Your Home Studio Setup!

I'm assuming that your Mackie's are your main monitors there. The Yamaha's are going to give you a distorted stereo field that far apart

I cant' really decide so I go back and forth and occasionally switch their locations. I have one pair sitting farther away because I sometimes sit back farther away from the desk while monitoring and I want to keep the triangle. I think the Mackies were my faves the week I took this pic.

Here's my home studio I'm currently working with. It's coming together!


That keyboard is a Fantom G6, it's an awesome piece of equipment but it's so complicated and I literally have no idea how to use it. It's actually a friend's but he is storing it here for the time being. My Casio keyboard is over in the corner with my guitars.

In a perfect world, I'd have studio monitor stands already. I'll get them eventually. These are my KRK Rokit 5's and I LOVE them!

Looks like a nice setup! What's that rack that the Eleven Rack is in?

Thanks man! I love it. Here's a link to the rackmount, it's only $30 and doesn't feel like it's cheap - I recommend it for anyone looking for a rackmount on a budget. Just so you know though, I had to go buy some wingnuts in order to mount it in there because it doesn't come with any backings for the bolts holding it in place.

Thanks for the link! Probably gonna pick one of these up for my HD Pro and soon-to-be power conditioner so I can free up some space on my desk.

Sweet. You won't be disappointed. You should've seen my desk before I got my rackmount. So cluttered, plus I was using a card table haha employee discounts saved my life.

Not really a "home studio", but it's where I play guitar and zone out. Or sometimes do work.

^^^old room.

Convinced my fiance to swap rooms with me. I needed/wanted more space, and she was just using this space for storage only. Took a lot of work, but I'm finally done.

...the cable management.

...and what this room was like before:

witch - is that an Ikea Desk? Any advice on monitor stands?

Heys, yes. It's an Ikea Galant (right corner desk with extension, and A-legs (the T-legs would've interfered with the monitor stand's feet)).

These monitor stands were cheapies off ebay. I was lucky, they're quite heavy and sturdy.

My gear has gone from all analog, to all digital...
Digi 003 factory
24" Imac, 3.05 ghz duel core, 6g ram 7200rpm HD
Mavericks, Logic Pro X, all working flawlessly

I love how clean that looks! However, you might want to consider table stands for the Yamahas, they're way too far apart.
Another solution would be to take the desk a bit away from the wall so the stands have room behind it

Update! New Yamaha HS8's and a Scarlett 2i2!

Thanks man, I was thinking of doing that. I do have them angled in significantly though. If I do move them in, I'll mount a pair of small shelves on top of the table for them, and will have to get some isolation foam.

I did make a small change today though. I added some acoustic foam. I found that the bass frequencies were much louder in here than my old room. It's better now.

I also thought I'd have a bit of fun:

Some great studios in this thread! Ive gone for a more simple setup these days. Wanted to make it as compact as possible without affecting the quality of recordings. Sold off some stuff I wasnt using and after a long time craving one I bit the bullet and bought an Axe Fx II. Not regretting it one bit. Really is a whole new world in comparison to my Pod HD. In the future will definitely upgrade my interface and replace my monitors. Enjoy!
