Drumkit is not used that much, it's a really old kit from the 90's with an Alesis D4 which mostly goes MIDI out into Superior Drummer (sounds kinda nice). Rest of the gear that is interesting are:

B&W DM602S2
Denon PMA-300 Reciever (not that good for mixing generally but it's pretty constant and very clear)
Axe-FX Ultra
Focusrite Saffire Pro14
SM ProAudio headphone amp
Shure Sm-57 + boomstand
EVH 5150III which isnt used often

^ Nice! I want an Ekit badly

Unless your desk is much deeper than it appears, you would benefit from moving your monitors in a fair bit. Apparently you are meant to be in an equilateral triangle with them in listening position. That would mean you'd be sat back a few feet from your desk, as they currently are.

 

[Hammy]

You're right, I should if these were near-fields. But since they are actually bookshelf Hifi speakers I prefer just moving to the back when listening to my mix. It's a bit of a hassle, and I should probably save up for some decent monitors, but moneys a bitch!

(Those B&W's were only 140,- euro's secondhand - 1999 Kevlar woofers ftw!)

 

[Overtone]

Same kinda triangle still applies for hifi!

I wasn't arguing that!

Here's mine, after two years of putting it together i can comfortably say that i've spent the bulk of what i want to spend on a home studio... got a little bit more to go for a few gizmo's here and there before i'm 100% happy. Sorry in advance for the crap phone pics. I moved 3 times in the last 2 years and as a result i can't find my camera anywhere, amongst other things.

List of studio equipment goodies:

1) Awesome space-saving desk i got from Staples

2) 2010 IMac 21.5" (3.06 GHZ duo core, 4 GB RAM)
- Logic Pro 9
- Amplitube 3
- EZ Drummer + DKFH expansion
- Waves Version 8

3) M-Audio Fast Track Pro

4) Tannoy Reveal 501A Monitors (only a week old, i love em... )
- Digiflex cables (big advocate of this brand)

5) Boss DD-7 Digital Delay pedal, Jerry Cantrell Cry Baby pedal

6) Guitars:
- Ibanez black RGA8 (stock, for now)
- Ibanez RG827Z (DActivator 7 bridge pickup, otherwise stock)
- Not pictured is a grey Washburn W587 that my friend borrowed, and a Jackson Randy Rhoads (rr5) V (thinking of selling, don't use it much)

7) Korg midi keyboard

8) Miscellaneous things pictured:
- Metal Gear series collection + Mortal Kombat (very vital for downtime and getting rid of ear fatigue)
- My Joker tribute and Samurai Champloo tribute hats (i used to airbursh hats and shoes a few years ago as a hobby)
- Crystal Skull Vodka bottle. T'was tasty thank you Dan Aykroyd!
- Mikey, fellow bandmate in-charge of nap time on the couch, running into walls, random barrel rolls, and barking at inanimate objects (there's one in every band i guess )

List of goodies to be bought when i add more $$$ to my budget:

1) DiMarzio Liquifire for the RG827z
2) Torn between EMG 808X's, Tosin Abasi's Ionizer's, or DActivator 8's
3) 4-8 more Gb's of RAM
4) Metal Machine expansion for EZ Drummer

and that should just about do it for my home studio, just a few 100 dollars more!

Sweet room you've got there!

 

[DoomMantia]

Sweet setup ^

 

[Flemmigan]

I live in a very small room in an apartment with two other students, so I've had to keep everything pretty minimal and tidy. Of course I just started back to school, so everything's a bit of a mess atm, at least with cables and stuff lying around, but it works pretty well. Nowhere as cool as the other setups in here, but it gets the job done!
On the wall opposite my desk, I've make basically a sound-deadening hut for recording vox or acoustic instruments. It works really well! I sleep on a folding mattress that you can see in the last pic, so when I'm working on music I can move my bed out of the way and have maximum recording space. Also notice rock garden and Newton's Cradle on my desk... gotta have peace and order in life.

The scenery around it is soon to change, but with any luck my new neighbors will be awesome and not much else will have to
