Show us your studio!

[rowan]

Never sell synths unless a) you have surplus of that model, or b) you will otherwise be made homeless.

Funnily enough, just last night I was thinking "what's the point in any of it? May as well just chuck it away for what I do with it."
OK it was a kind of self-indulgent depressive thought but I don't even go in the room where it's all set up, let alone turn it on

Anyway your post has cheered me up a bit about it all.
What I still cannot put my finger on though is why I don't seem to give a flying fuck about any of it any more.
It just doesn't seem to interest me even slightly and I don't know why.

I'm pretty much the same with games now. I bought a PS4 about 6 months ago so I wouldn't have to buy the full PSVR system in go, and I have found myself feeling very uninspired to play games on it.

But then I have had new synths to play with.

Redone upstairs, made it simple.



L-R Rotel tape deck under dead Presonus Firestudio under living Lexicon MX300 fx rack, Focusrite Scarlett 8i8 interface behind vaping untensils, M-Audio AxiomII controller, Bass Station 2, Microbrute, Dalek. M-Audio BX8 carbon speakers which are too big.

All the stuff in my previous post used to be in this setup as well. Maybe now I'll get focused enough to record some music.

The point is to make something and stick it on Soundcloud so I can steal your ideas!

Tricky space for monitoring that!

It's fine. I don't have autistic ears, and I'm just titting about.

Most of the time I'm using headphones anyway as I'm generally noodling around very late at night :-)

My intentional studio:


My actual studio:


I'll figure it out one day - all I want is for the Novation to play the Model 15 on the iPad and the Beatstep to do at least something, somehow rigged through the EIE and recorded in Logic.
I've never got on with midi, and I have no idea why - I'm sure it was invented by someone who vaguely understood networking but not really, and I plain don't understand networking anyway. When I last had me a studio all I ended up doing was playing live into Audition and chopping up samples like they were bits of tape as it all dumfounded me then, and nothings changed. I'm going to try and not do that this time...
