The trick is to negotiate that stuff in the beginning, before you move in together. For me it went something like, "You know I have a room for an office and to play music in... You understand that if we move in together, that's something I need to have, right?" If she even nods her head, that's as good as a lifetime contract. Twenty years later, you can still say, "Look...we AGREED..."

LOL...

My wife doesn't have a problem with it, probably because if I don't have the room to work out of and teach from then I don't pay the mortgage.

I have friends who get a bit of grief from their other halves, which I outwardly sympathise with but secretly high-five myself on having such a cool wife.

Here's my main recording station:





I just got the Roland electronic kit. I don't know how much I'll actually record with it, but it's great to have because it enables me to practice at the drop of a hat and easily play along with music or a DVD whenever the mood strikes me. My drumming has already improved.



My POD X3 Live pulls out from under the desk:



Guitars and congas not pictured.

Here's the inside of my drum enclosure in the garage:



It's not too pretty, but it does the trick. I also record vocals and acoustic guitar out here. I've got a monitor, keyboard and mixer hooked up to this computer on the outside of the drum enclosure, so I can record guitar and scratch vocals if I feel like it, but I haven't felt like it very often. I've also got chimes and timbales in the garage.

[tweeddeluxe]

Where no gear is too cheap. Can you find the lava lamp amidst the clutter.

Finally got a third monitor going using two video cards and a software called Ultramon. Ultramon gives you a task bar in every window. Kinda geeky but it works really well. I'm also in the process of designing a custom console. We will see how that goes.

Sweet, I just added a second monitor, really makes life easier with all that extra real estate.

Wow you guys all have some beautiful recording spaces! All I have is a desk with my Macbook & MOTU Ultralite. Oh, and a lava lamp! Have a nice pair of semi-open headphones and two dynamic mics (a 609 and a Samson Q7). Thinking of making a pop screen one of these days.

Is there a major element that I'm missing? Thinking of getting a HM-1 to round out my mic selection a little. Do I need a mixer or any of that stuff?

A kick-ass mic preamp would certainly be high on my list.
An API 512C plus lunchbox would set you back just shy of a grand and give you room to expand, otherwise just use the MOTU pre's.

A nice compressor - TOFT, Distressor- API would round it out as well.

Alright, this is embarrassing but here goes:

My humble "Studio":

[IMG][/IMG]

[IMG][/IMG]

The circa 80's BFI console has nothing to do with recording and a lot to do with lack of storage space.

My monitors are behind me. I admit I get confused every so often.

Mostly direct recording except for vocals and acoustic.

Hope you enjoyed the tour!

[Joe Chaney]

wow, these are all so cool, mines just a portable four-track and a telecaster!

[mudbean]

... all around.

Here's a pic of what I had last year ...



Add a quick drawing of my new loft, which is in utter disrepair ... Hey! We've only been here in the new house for a year!



And (finally), here's a quick snap of the mess that is MudBean Music at the moment ...

I'll join in. Here's my humble rehearsal space.

[Dann-O]

I use this plus my 72 thinline RI. probably the lamest studio here but I can get some results. I use the patches in the recorder too but I modify them on each tune to get a decent sound.

I love seeing what everybody has in their studio. Heres a few pictures of my small DAW room down in the basement. I have a dell with windows XP home addition with SP2. Added 2 gig of memory. SR-16 drum machine. A fast track pro with a couple mxl cheap mikes. You can't see but also have a line6 pod XTlive on the floor. I record mostly straight into the FTP (fast track pro) which has phantom power. I fixed the dell OS to get the best responce somebody showed over on the cakewalk site. Oh, yeah I'm using cakewalk music creator 3 for the program. I'm quite surprised what it will do. Good enough to put the ideas down own and have a good sound. Anywho everybody keep the pictures coming, so I can keep dreaming. Well better get back to work. Later and cheers!!!

I made some changes to my "studio" since the picture of mine on the first page of this thread. I got rid of the "bleachers" for my pedalboard & added/removed some pedals, added a Blues Jr. and a VibroChamp XD. I also added/sold a few guitars.
