SHOW OFF YOUR MUSIC SPACE?

[laxu]

This is the 2024 equivalent of a wall of Marshall stacks.

 

[Jarick]

Spent a few hours yesterday cleaning out my home office / music room top to bottom. Great to have everything all put away for now!

Here's the current state:

This is my couch and "screen free" playing area. Picked up a second Hercules stand over the weekend and put together this mostly Boss board, running into the Blackstar Amped 1 and Orange 1x12 cab. My ugly DIY traps hanging on the walls.

Here's off to the side of my desk, the Axe FX 3 along with Fender FR-12 and some storage.

Here's my desk, which needs to get replaced at some point. Right now I have an Ikea desk with some clamp stands for the monitor and speakers (iLoud Precision 5). You can see the dual laptops as I have my primary work computer plus my home Mac off to the side, both running to docks. I've got the UAD Apollo Twin which works great here, and set up the QC as well, sometimes that lives elsewhere. Plus a remote control for the space heater because it's always cold down here.

I need to redo the cable management completely, which is another weekend project.

Off to the other side, I've got a Hercules rack with the extra guitars.

Hell yeah

Very nice @Jarick! What's that shelf liner you have under your Axe FX? I just started reorganizing my music/workspace with the same shelving and it would be cool to have a similar solid surface for my lunchbox heads.

It came with one of the shelf units I got off Amazon. I would love more because I have a bunch of these shelves!

Looking fantastic.

Because you care about aesthetics, your FX3 is begging for one of these:

Gator GR-RETRORACK-3BK Vintage Amp Vibe Rack Case - 3U Black

3U Solid Wood Rack Case, 12.5" Deep, with Built-in Kickstand, Rubber Feet, Dust Cover, and Included Rack Screws - Black

www.sweetwater.com

Honestly at some point I'm likely going to get rid of the Axe FX 3, likely to replace with an FM9. The rack unit mostly takes up space at this point and I'd prefer the floor unit so I could move it around. Likely will get rid of the QC at some point as well.

My studio space.

Is that a B K Butler Tube driver?

I am a huge fan of that pedal.

I posted these shots on the site in another thread. I'm posting them again here because I'm always fascinated by other folks' studio areas, and figured I'd add this share to the thread.

Workstation area.

It's hard to tell from the pic but the mix position is a little less than ten feet away from the front wall, it was the recommended location given the length of the room (about 33 feet). The bass traps and reflection panels were made by RealTraps, who were kind enough to work with me regarding where to put them. One object was to minimize the offset from the front wall on the right in the pic.

Sounds pretty accurate, my mixes translate to larger audio postproduction studios well when I deliver my ads for post mix with dialog and SFX. The room's length helps with long wavelength bass frequencies.

I run the recording gear on balanced AC that goes through an Equi-Tech isolation transformer. It's way in the background on a small floor stand, lower left. So it's very quiet no matter what gear gets plugged in. These days I'm largely 'in the box' due to very tight ad production schedules where I'm reinventing the mix to picture several times a day as they make changes. I keep preamps and DIs in the rack on the left under the keyboard.

I wanted the room to be calming and free of distractions, so I can stay in the flow.

Recording space looking toward rear of studio. There's a nook on the left for the amps, so the room is a little wider at the rear than the front. The recording area is about 18' wide.

I stole the helmet from a Roman legionary when I materialized in the past using a Time Machine (not shown in pic ).

A shot of the nook for the amps. There's an 8-head, 4-cab switcher in the small rack in the middle of this shot. It's from a company called KHE in Switzerland. No tone suck, it's dead quiet, the switching is electronic and noiseless. Amp heads that aren't in the circuit see a dummy load. There's also a Furman isolated-outlet power supply that has a 45Amp power reservoir that really does let the amps shine. I also plug pedalboards and other stuff related to the guitars into it. The bass traps help with the amp recording as well as helping to control the low end at the mix position.

Finally, I should mention that I'm sick of the way the room looks. But it sounds good. I feel if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

You changed the rug!

Very zen! Was the time machine blue and shaped like a police box, by any chance?

Ha! Yeah, changed it during Covid because I had nothing much else to do!

I caught a ride with some dude but I can't remember exactly Who he was...

I had a photoshoot for ADAM Audio in my home-studio, so I thought I'd share the pictures with y'all.
