Dave - that last photo is nuthin'!

Is this one of those new generation expressions that mean the opposite of what they say, like 'sick' ?
 
If so, then I agree.  Stunning display and a beautiful desk.
 

lawajava,
 
I certainly would like to see that!....... Yeah my little closet only has a few and there are a lot of mistakes in them too!  Will have to check that out the next time I get to the Pacific Northwest!

Here goes...
I converted my double garage about 8 years ago.
Cheers

PJH - your setup has ample room and looks like a great creative space! I was checking out your pictures on the far wall to see if you had any framed gold records. Looks like you could have one with that studio you have.

Lots of nice places in these photos.  I need to desperately get a new desk.  I am on a glass-top L-shaped desk and it totally sucks.  My rack-mount equipment is on the righthand side, so it's in close proximity for tweaking, but the big A6 Andy is on a stand to the right (behind) the desk.  Not conducive to have it be programmed and/or played.

Me to. My desk is a piece of wood I cut and put leather material over it and it sits on two wooden snack trays. I also need more room for my lava lamp which is not in the pic

Basically no matter what your main monitoring rig is, it's very important to cross-reference to a variety of systems and environments - studio monitors and headphones, quality earbuds, crappy earbuds, consumer computer speakers, laptop speakers, home stereo rigs, car stereos, phones and tablets, bluetooth speakers... obviously it makes no sense to do this with every mix decision, but as you get close to something you want to get behind, that should start. There are ways to fake it - plugins that mimic different speaker response and so on - but it's really no substitute for the real thing... and of course, the bonus is that as you do this you start to learn how your main rig translates to other systems, and you get better at predicting and accounting for that, and your mixes get faster and better. Well, that's the theory anyway!

I like to use things like Toneboosters TB Isone for a quick comparison what things 'may' be like on different systems etc, but like you said, not really a substitute for the real thing, but quick and easy and convenient.

Thanks Lawajava, 
Oh boy, I wish. I am at least pretty busy though so l'm thankful for that.
Cheers.

Anyone using a U-shaped desk for their studio?  Not very conducive for a mixing studio, but it could be wonderful for a "command center" of synthesizers!  Craigslist in Phoenix is full of these bad boys!  What do you guys think?

Let's try this again!....New room with the basic building blocks in place.  Working on a few more pieces of outboard gear to sweeten things up a bit.  I love this room......it's my creative escape!




I really enjoyed seeing all of your rooms and rigs.....gives me some good ideas for the future!

Dave I see you have the Digitech DSP 256XL. I have the same one. Nice unit of FX and nice studio to.
