Your studio setup

[beesonthewhatnow]

Excellent thread, except I am jealous as fuck now

The advantage of doing it for a living is that you can claim an awful lot of it back against your tax bill

I really need some new fx units, especially reverb. It's an expensive business though.

You can probably pick up a quadreverb for aboot a hundred. Job done.

You're not helping

At the mo I only have Reason 3, a pair of Seinnheiser headphones and my microkontrol. http://www.korg.com/gear/info.asp?a_prod_no=microkontrol hooked up to my MacBook Pro 17" 2.4 ghz. I've also got a dual core opteron, but I've stopped using that since I got the mac. I also used Cool Edit Pro (Audition) for digital editing, but I am looking for lots of other software solutions to play with.

When I find room to build my studio, I plan on getting some decent monitors (I am used to using Genelecs) a full size controller, some kind of digital mixer and some guitars and a decent guitar synth.

I made this table

Alesis MI MkII Monitors
Sennheiser HD25 SP cans
M-Audio 192 Soundcard
M-Audio Axiom 25 Keyboard

Just went halves with a mate on a Zoom H4 recorder

Reason 4
Cubase SX3
Sound Forge 7
Acid Pro 4

some plugins and an old version of recycle.... doesn't do stereo rex's

Numark decks and mixer not worth mentioning- been dying for an upgrade for years...

Cool setup and cooler desk.

But why the third nipple/speaker?

 

[chemn]

I'm very proud and pleased with my desk and probably spend far too long sat at it...

The third nipple is part of my hifi (2 missions, 2 vision, a random Spendor BC-1, cambridge audio amp, kam power amp, gale subwoofer).... all of which has become more or less obsolete, except for when no-one else is in the house and I can run it all at a sensible level
