All right. Time to update my contribution with the addition of my workplace. Not exactly "my" studio, but it's still "my studio."

I work for a public radio station that runs a performing arts studio. We have live shows there, all of which we record, and we also record material for the station - sans audience. We're pretty low budget, but I think we've got it where it counts.

Here we go. First, the live room. The building used to be a bank. We'd like a little more treatment in here, and nicer colors, but someone donated a lot of money to pick these gawd-awful colors, so we put up with it. Forgive the bad picture. It's a chore to turn on the good lights.



The live room is pictured "the long way." We also can place the stage on the right side of the room in the picture. There are floor pockets so that we can place our input boxes and FOH console in either orientation.



Here's the FOH console. We use two. One for recording, and one for the house. This is the A&H 24-channel for the house. It's in a hallway right now.



...And here's the rack underneath. I'm currently missing my fx unit, as the one we use for recording is on the fritz, so we moved it for a live broadcast we did recently. The dbx comps on the left are great. The Behringers go unused, at least by me. EQs are for the house and the four monitor mixes.
