OK why not? It's kind of a blurry phone pic, but I guess that's par for the course these days...

Sonar Platinum on a pair of monitors, computer is a desktop dinosaur (Q6600 I think) that still runs surprisingly well, running Windows 10 now and I actually rather like it... There's an Alphatrack and 1st gen Kore unit there, both of which I still actually use. And a Contour Shuttle to make things even more confusing. E-Mu 1616m interface, a couple of other things tucked in there too. Monitors are Dynaudio BX-5's, headphones are Beyer 990s. Keyboard is something nondescript and fairly crappy but modded with big brightly coloured paper 'lights' by my son when he was 4 or so which is frankly the best thing about it. My better controllers are onstage at my regular gig - a Nord Stage (1st gen) and a Studiologic SL900 Pro. Also not shown are various other instruments I play at various levels from half-decent to pretty limited, including guitar, bass, flute, french horn, trumpet accordion and miscellaneous percussive devices. Piano I studied and play professionally, so I suppose I have to stand behind that more or less...

So, does the best studio win a prize? What about the worst? I guess it'll get smacked down with the Bad Studio Hammer!

 
(Sorry, I live in Germany and saw this on the way home today, I couldn't resist!)

A lot of really nice spaces here I enjoy seeing how others have their studios set up. 
I do not even have space for a lava lamp
All the best.

these are my headphones...the awesome MONSTER ON-EAR N-TUNE HEADPHONES...made by Monsters the creators of BEATS AUDIO featuring the same if not better technology. They have a well balanced sound and really nice strong bass and kick sound coverage. $99.00 at Walmart I highly recommend these headphones.  I also recommend that your laptop feature beats audio if you listen to your headphones really loud like I do...it increases the volume by about 35% cleanly.

I had a heck of a time getting this to post.   ended up using the HTML editor
 Anyways, this is a fairly current photo of my studio.  I have
recently replaced the Event TR8's with some Dynaudio BM5's, but haven't taken an updated photo.

NEWS FLASH! TODAY WHILE WORKING AT the pawn shop i spotted what I believe to be THE SONY Speakers and amp made to go with my 10" SONY SUBS...I managed to secure it, hooked it up and WOW what a difference...so much smoother, warmer and punchy!
