Show Us Your Home Studio Setup!

[F0rte]

After I put them up, I could notice the difference before even playing any sound in this room. It's got that eerie "dead silence" in here now. It's like a crypt! It literally soaks up everything.

The lows are super tight and focused, the highs are extremely clear, and the stereo image is massive. These bass traps and high frequency panels cleaned up the sound in the room, in a big way.


Now I just need to learn how to mix properly!

Pretty great!
I like the bass traps! I'm sure you spent a lot on it all haha.
Keep working on the mixing though

I'm just getting started!
Did you get the Axe Fx II? Or are you sticking with the ultra?

That room is amazing... and that Vixen

Some nice setups in here

Haha, I don't know about that, but I'm grateful for the regard. eBook should hopefully come about in a few short months.

Don't know if this qualifies, but here are some shots of a few new gear acquisitions for the studio:

And from yesteryear...

How do you like the Harley Benton cab? Is it a 2x12?

I no longer own it. For the price it was quite good, but it had some undesirable characteristics across the mids. It was a 2x12.

A random tidbit of information for you guys and also some handy hint :

The owner of the 2x12 Bugera cab is actually me now
It's not a bad cab. Obviously not going to compete with a Mesa Boogie Oversize 4x12, but it's a good first cab so you can learn a bit about mic-ing up guitar cabinets if you budget doesn't stretch any further.

And any of you guys are spending time wondering what a good studio bass to buy would be, seriously get one of those Ibanez BTBs that Ermz has pictured.
They really lend themselves to a good studio sound due to the design and 35 inch scale and they seem to have just about the best playability of any production bass guitar I've had the chance to play on.

I'm addicted to this thread, but I envy everyone on it.

 

[Fiction]

You and me man, except I've been through the whole thing and this thread isn't updated much

 

[KarlMagnusRobin]

Ermz place looks so classy! I will update my hole soon, can't wait to show you all!!!!

 

[Solodini]

Pretty simple rig. This is my teaching space, as well, so I don't want loads of stuff lying around. The bike is there until the Missus finds somewhere else for it.

My monitors and some other stuff are still in storage and there's loads of stuff in drawers and cupboards to keep little prying fingers from them.

Finally got around to taking a picture of my current set up... well, minus the laptop that I actually use for recording and that floats around a bit depending on what I'm recording:



Don't mind the vase in the corner... I still haven't quite finished moving into my new place. (And the two wall hangings were a gift from a friend, and I figured the music studio was the most appropriate place for them.)

Not much of a studio, I'm always moving my gear around from home to uni to rehearsals.

It's a little dark, but of course the glowing green LCD belongs to an Axe-FX Ultra, being controlled by an FCB1010 and being monitored through a QSC K10. I use my old Digitech RP250 as a PC interface while I wait for the funds to buy a real one

 

[Ratel]

cheap setup but i'm kinda contented with it i mainly use my setup to write song ideas and my band's demos.

planning to buy a decent flat studio headphone but i just bought s2.0 so i'm still saving up for that!

m-audio fast track mkII
samson c05
lepou and tse plugs/free impulses
s2.0
reaper
shitty computer speakers and shitty headphone

 

[sessionswan]

Not quite a studio... more like my basement
Regardless, at the end of the day there is no place I'd rather be.

Just running Reaper with SD2.0 and Reason primarily.

Ye olde Axe Fx Ultra into an M-Audio Fast Track Pro, Oxygen 49 controller and KRK Rokit 8's for monitors.

Lately I've been playing my UV777BK, an Intrepid 8, an LTD M-1000 and an Ibanez 5 string bass although the lineup changes quite frequently. There's a Mesa Tremoverb head and Recto cab back there too but they don't get much use as of late... 'tis a shame.

Anyway, thanks for looking!

You have the same desktop Dell as me

Nice setup!

How much RAM is ideal guys, if your doing webdesign stuff as well as music stuff?

is 8gb from a mbo enough? or would you need an imac 16gb?

I noticed not all of you have above 8gb.

Don't know about webdesign stuff, but I have only 3 GB ram, and i run on vista.
(I'm probably going on miss some more in the future, but for now i never had a problem with that)
So i say, 8 is more than enough for music purpose.
