the classic "take a photo of your setup" thread

[charliefoy]

The more I progress with production the more my mac seems to be suffering. Do I save up/take finance out for an iMac or upgrade my ram? Currently on 2gb with 2.4ghz dual core, runs perfectly but when I have a lot of things going on in Logic it starts to seize up a little and I get system overloads a lot in logic.(not a picture of my set up but its related)

[ErotiCore SteNch]

i would say start with upgrading the ram,max it out

Many amazing setups in this thread, both minimal and full of things, good job guys!

here's mine

my mascot is that empty belgian beer bottle on the right, but it changes every week.
I have 2 1210s on the other side of the room.

I'm thinking about buying that ikea shelf where many of you put the decks on, what's its name?
it's low and I've seen that in black or white. this seems to be exactly what I need

Expedit? Book shelf, 2x4, put it on its side, and put legs on it = perfect

Just borrowed this from a friend!

Gonna be recording some acoustic tunes and maybe bouncing some of my tracks/samples to tape

You bounce to tape and then what? Also, how much are they/what make model is it?

Record them back onto my computer...
It's a Tascam Portastudio 414. No idea how much, like I said, borrowing it from a friend.

Thats sick! So it gives it a warmer kind of sound to the track? Do you bounce to tape then go from the output of that machine back into your computer?

2" tape will give you warmth, I don't think a portastudio is the sound you guys are referring too..it'll still give the sound a different character but 'warmth' comes from fuckers like this:

That's my setup at the moment.

Might post mine in a few months if this thread is still alive. Putting producing aside until maybe next Spring.

I'm building my own desk which will be either a U or corner/L desk with a station for my laptop and a PC I'm planning on building for production(music & video). I'll probably build a rotating keyboard rack to mount on it too. (like in "Hustle & Flow") I'll have either 1 or monitors then a 32-ish inch TV in the corner hanging up. Probably have my DAW open on the TV then Mixer on one of the monitors then if I get another monitor, it'll be hooked to my laptop which I'll use then for just gaming and some video editing.

I'm also getting a shit ton of new stuff soon. New keyboards, Pro-Tools M9, a couple VSTi's, guitars, audio/video equipment, ect.

That will be pretty much my bedroom then other than a futon until I get my own place. Once I go to college, I'm getting a 2-3 bedroom apartment and then I could have the entire room for music; not just a corner.


At least these are my plans as of now. Hopefully they don't change.



Right now all my setup is is my laptop, M-Audio Fast Track Pro, and headphones. I either lay in my bed or in the basement playing around making presets/sampling while playing Madden.

I like that plan. haha, for right now I'm saving up for some turntables. I don't really plan on producing, just mixing. I just find it too hard to start from nothing.
