Show Us Your Home Studio Setup!

[Triple7]

Well since I first posted my bedroom studio almost 2 years ago a lot has changed, here is a before and after shot.


Before:

After:

I upgraded computers, monitors, interaces, and changed locations as well.

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

That desk, i need it. Where did you score that from?

There was one part of the assembly that made very little sense but didn't end up being that important (it has to do with that grate looking panel under the desk) and one of the wheels keeps popping apart (like that from day one) but otherwise very solid and functional. The rack mount is solid and a good fit, and with the Mopads very little vibration is transferring from the monitors into the shelf.

Triple7 how did you like the move from the bx5a's to the events? I made a similar move my self recently. are those the 20/20's?

 

[Triple7]

I definitely dig the Events, I'm not sure exactly what model they are though. They belong to the other guitar player in my band. He is lending them to me since one of my BX5's shit the bad. I'll have to ask him later and let you know if they are the 20/20's

 

[IAMLORDVADER]

They look a lot like 20/20's and thats the upgrade i made a couple of months ago! really awesome monitors. although I wish I still had the m-audios as a reference set

 

[Triple7]

Yea, I'm looking into getting mine fixed, and also seeing if my guitar player will sell me those Events haha.

I have the same desk! except I am going to cut off about 5-6 inches off the top of the shelf (the beams that support it, where the rack pieces are) because it is too high for my computer screens and it hurts my neck. I only use 4 of the rack spaces anyway! nice setup

 

[Marv Attaxx]

^ Yeah, the shelf is a bit high but so is my chair haha.
Have you thought about removing the wheels?
Love that desk
Very versatile and sturdy as fuck!

I have not thought of removing the wheels because I move it alot (need to unplug monitors from axefx and then into my interface alot for vocals) I was just now thinking of just removing the keyboard tray and putting the keyboard on the desk itself and just raising the chair, will have to test that out

edit: I just removed the keyboard tray and now I fit in like a glove!

 

[Triple7]

Got some stands for the monitors, gave myself a little more space.

Get yourself a patchbay, makes life so much easier! No more climbing behind the desk to unplug stuff. And they're cheap

 

[Beachbum4894]

What desk you got there Triple7?

 

[Triple7]

To be honest I can't remember. It's not specifically a workstation, or meant for recording, although to me it looked like it fit the part.

I got it a good 3 years ago so let me see if I can find a link for it or something similar.
