Got some new HS8's figured I'd post an updated pic.



I will be posting a proper NGD as well, since I got some other great toys with them.

Very similar setup to mine (Yams, Axe II, iMac)! Miss my VHT 2/50/2 a little bit though!

Awesome dude, that's some reliable equipment right there.

Yea I don't think I'll ever part ways with the VHT, it's such a sick power amp. I also have a Mesa Simulclass 2:90 that I don't use.

Awesome studios in here as usual! I'm still rockin the bedroom studio setup for now, but moved into a bigger apartment a few months ago. Finally got a setup with a workflow I like.

My desk, which looks a lot like a control console for a giant mech or some shi.

How do the HS8's sound on lower volumes? Same? I listened to them in store but forgot to test on neighbor friendly volumes.

They sound great at both low and high volume. I'm extremely happy that I picked these out. It was hard to choose between these and the Event 20/20s, but the HS8s are a great set of monitors.

Loving the posters Flemmigan, I'm a huge post metal fan myself.

Thanks man. So pissed my Intronaut silk screen print got rainwater on it while I was moving (it was in the trunk and some water dripped in, luckily the inks didn't stain too much but the right side ruffled a bit. Here's a better view of them and the other Neurosis silk screen print on the wall. :yesway:

Haha, I was actually listening to Intronaut while I was looking at your studio pictures.

Looking good so far! You got all your essentials, and you got good quality stuff in the first place. How are you liking the FireStudio? I'm sick of my M-Audio Profire ( which is pretty similar to the FS Project but it has some annoying peculiarities---all but two inputs on rear, breakout cable for SPDIF and MIDI, effing awful driver support) and I was looking into the FireStudio as a replacement. I have a PreSonus tube pre which I love so I'm thinking about giving one of their interfaces a shot. I might even simplify to the FireStudio Mobile. How's it working for you so far?

currently turning half of the garage into a legit studio.



soundproofed control room where the stage is. with window on the right wall facing into a live room. the structure on the left is going to be a soundproofed vocal booth with a window into it. the wall your looking at in the very front is the wall seperating the control room/booth from the rest of our jam room.
more pics coming soon

thanks man! much appreciated. i would definitely recommend it as a versatile mid-level piece of hardware. the on-board preamps are a bit lacking, but i couldn't ask for something better for the price ($400). you could experiment with putting your tube pres up in front of it, that could be pretty sweet. the firestudio mobile could be pretty sick too if you only need the two inputs!

i had a few driver issues on startup, but after some lengthly research i found what worked for my computer. i totally dig it though! you can get some pretty clean vox/bass/guitars out of it. i did everything in my band with it (link in signature) minus the drums if you want a little demo.

Thanks for the info! I rarely use more than one input at a time, so I'm thinking using the tube pre into the interface could work pretty well. The FireStudio Project is definitely on the top of my list for a new interface. Now I just have to fight that nagging urge to go and get it ASAP. Best to make do with what I have for now. By the way, I checked out the EP on your SoundCloud and really dig your band! The production sounds really good, and, more importantly, the music is sick!
