What does your home studio look like?

[quote quote="StudioBoy":1dh70ht3]
Its actually two video cards. An ATI X800 PCIe card with Dual DVI going to the 24" Dell and the 20" Dell above it. And a cheapy ATI Radeon 7000 PCI with DVI and VGA outs

And I am running Cakewalk Sonar 6 on this machine.

Excellent. Thanks for the info. I’m due for a computer upgrade in the next few months and I’d like to get a few LCD’s in a similar setup to yours.

how do you have that 20" mounted? I love the way you have it above the 24", but what is holding it in place? Also, the 17" on the sides, I see you have them rotated. The software to rotate them like that (without rotating the display), did that software come with the monitors or with the video card? Forgive me if it’s a stupid question, but I’ve never had a monitor that could be rotated like that…

Very sexy indeed…! I`ve never really trusted glass work surfaces (knowing me I`d break em)… But I must say, they look well cool, let a lot of light through too….[/quote:1qrrfd7k]

They also reflect a lot of sound. Very bad for mixing music.

Here is a shot of my growing setup.

I will have to take some updated photos.

some of you got some real cool setups. Mines ok, looking to upgrade soon.

I have:

2x Pioneer CDJ 800Mk2’s
2x 16" Peavey Speakers [i think they are 16"
1x Behringer 4 Channel Mixer
1x Peavey Amp
1x Sony Headphones
and a computer for making stuff. Ill post a pic as soon as I can get one

all these pics let me kow I gotta step up my situation…
at least I got a big enough screen.

no pic…but…..
2 – technics 1200
1- caoss pad mixer
1- mc 808 sampling groovebox
1- microkorg
1- Korg ER1
1- Korg EA1
1- 16 channel mixer
1- Alesis HR 16
Soundforge for cutting samples
—————-all harware linked with midi

[quote quote="ordio":187yitq6]dj/ableton setup

2 x Pioneer CDJ1000 MKII’s
1 x Ecler NUO5 Mixer

I run a midi cable from the mixer which syncs the BPM of the decks to Ableton Live. Thinking about adding some extra controllers for more control.

Alright m8 how you finding the NUO5 I was tempted but I went for DJM800 in the end????

Cheers :p

damn! some cool setups in here

here’s a pic of my humble mini studio

Macbook Pro, running Logic Pro 7, Live 6, Reason 3, Kontakt 2, and Zebra 2
Mackie Onyx Satellite
Novation Remote 25SL
Event ALP 5 monitors on Auralex Mo’pads and Quiklok stands
AKG k271s headphones

thanks

Any model in the novation SL range will work great with Live. I’ve found the 25 SL to be very versatile (so far it has worked with Live, Logic, Reason, Kontakt, and Zebra 2 effortlessly) and very intuitive.

I love it. My only complaint is that I wish I could have afforded the 61 key version

looks like version 3.

it just looks different because he’s using some sort of skin on XP, i guess

I think it may be the Skin used on a Mac Platform.

Finally finished renovating the back part of the house which means all the gear gets to move back out of the cupboard again!

Really wanted to set up the gear in the main part of the house cos the rig is maninly used for jamming with friends rather than a full on production studio. After just getting the renovation finished didn’t want it to look like a mess of cables and gear so started thinking about a desk that hid all the cabling and looked more like a piece of furniture rather than a spaghetti factory The back has built in cable trays that hold all the cables to stop them hanging. 2 separate cable trays also 1 for power, 1 for audio/midi.

Side View

Rack on right hand side has full extension slide out shelves so you can get to the back of gear to plug in cables.

With the mixer and master keyboard rolled out.

Not a heap of room for expansion but when I get some decent monitors, the amp in the rack can go which will give a few more rack units space. Also didn’t want to have too much unoccupied desk space which usually becomes a dumping ground. Nice to have it all set up again.

wow. those are pretty sweet systems

nice decks over here..
some rich guyz

hey all, this is my little system, no mixer as yet, but i just use the Bantam TT patch panel with some TT to xlr inputs. Theres also a sneaky little KRK s10 sub under the desk for some cool subs.
