the classic "take a photo of your setup" thread

[lowpass]

Man, I don't even give a shit about any of the gear or computers in this thread, what really makes me jealous are these fucking desks and chairs. All my shit is centered around a rickety $10 "dorm room computer desk" and a metal folding chair with a pillow on it.

still need to get round to sorting me a chair, I'm still rocking this swivel chair that's about 6-7 years old and is falling apart!

The worst part is, my room is too small to fit a proper sized desk and a comfy chair

[Samuel_L_Damnson]

I don't even have a chair

[JamieSky]

Only recently got a new chair and desk, used to working on some office chair from the scrapheap and a dresser that was literally older than I am. New chair is so comfy.

@lowpass

What monitors you rocking there?

Klein and Hummel O300's

Ridiculous in this room, I've had them going all the way down to 20hz

Yeah those are my attainable dream moitors right there. If i dont blow my money on some B&W's lol.

[Volatile Psycle]

A sub will get you similar sort of bass level's, what monitors are you rocking atm?

Adam A7's.
Dont get me wrong i love the sound and they do have a good extension for small cones, but sometimes i wish they had some bigger cahoonas.
And to be fair my current listening spot if awful so i wont be getting a sub till i get the studio's acoustics sorted out.
anyway once i get them set up in a nice room i might not need the sub so bad

I love A7's, for transient response they'll still beat the shit out of even something like the K&H's! (thinking of getting myself a pair somewhere down the line, either those or some avantones )

A sub paired with the A7's would be very nice indeed though, we had a similar sort of setup at one point back when I worked in a music shop.

[__________]

A7's are the shit.
I've only got one (did buy #2 but it was damaged) and don't use it as my primary monitor/s but I absolutely love it to bits.
I'm sure I read about 2 pages on GearSlutz of people saying the Adam 7's sound better than the 8's - more defined, less floppy bass.

More than any other monitor I've used, speaker placement is key with the 7. It's amazing just how different it sounds when you move it around.

look my nig, I live in a fucking frat house in the rafters on two 4x8 pieces of 1/2" plywood. We just had our heat turned back on, it was cut off for a week. Luckily my ex let me stay with her

As for studio space, I share the one at my school with a bunch of knuckle draggers in a music class. It's a closet and I own more kit than is in there, and I don't really have much at all. It's fucked by I still manage like the people that don't even have monitors or decent cans.

[hudson]

I manage too, it would just be nice haha. I love working in small spaces, they ensure my energy doesn't wonder haha it's just hard to walk around in here (my bedroom) I've already only got a single bed and my little pseudo-studio in here, and it's hard to walk around or have friends over lol

[mitchAUS]

I convinced my parents to throw the bed out in our spare room and I'm moving my studio into its own room instead of cramped into the corner of my bedroom. The room still isn't ideal (small and a really bad shape but better then what i had!!!)) I spent 8 hours yesterday moving shit and I'm not even half way... but when its all done ill be sure to upload photos.

Im trying to convince my parents to let me do the same thing! Im almost there

[charliefoy]

Thought i'd post mine.
Basic but it works for me
Running Logic, NI plug ins and a couple of waves ones.
Saffire 6, Krk RP8's, Micro korg, 1210's, xone 32, hd25's.

Nice pic of Youngsta above your decks

I'm running logic and NI Massive, so a fairly similar setup - I want to upgrade my setup, soundwise, and I was literally thinking about the exact same interface and monitors that you have. Would you suggest the RP8s and a Saffire 6? Pros/cons? Thanks.

[charliefoy]

There is usually a mala one to the left but it fell and im too lazy to put it back up.
I wouldnt really be able to tell you, no cons personally for me with the saffire 6, perfect for what i need it for, but because ive never had any other proper studio monitors in my room I've got nothing to compare the krk's too. Although i have regular use of really high end genelecs and mackies before but they are in a proper studio with acoustic treatment. The mixes seem to be translating pretty well (although i always test on other speakers) and there is plenty of low and, plus there is a setting on the back with which you can tweak the high end to suit your room. They're definitely decent for their price

Thanks. Do you use the room-adaptive setting to try to tweak the monitors to your room? And they sound like great monitors - so what are the major cons of them?

As I said, my room is probably affecting the sound too much for me to give you an accurate answer, so its hard to say really. You're best looking for reviews on sites like sound on sound.

my little pseudo-studio

Hate hearing this. Your studio is where the magic happens, wherever and however that may be, and magic is happening for you, bro.

I only say that cuz my room isn't treated at all and all my shit is jammed into a corner haha I love it though, don't get me wrong
