show up your studio set up

My setup isn't all that great at the moment but it's improving.

Here's what I use:

Comp/Soundcard:

AMD 2600 with 512mb of ram, 120gb hd
M-Audio 24/96 soundcard

Software:

Reason 2.5
FL Studio
Cool Edit Pro 2.0
Edirol Hyper Canvas, String Quartet, and Orchestral Synths
FM7 VST synth
NI Pro-52 VST synth
Recycle 2.0
Lounge Lizard VST
About 20 gigs of samples and soundfonts

Hardware:

****ty Yamaha PSR 76 (for playing melodies when I'm not on the comp)
Studio Logic 61key midi keyboard

Soon my friends dad is giving us an old Fender Rhodes Piano and a brand new unopened Nord Electro
(I'm eagerly anticipating this gear). We might sell the Electro and get some other synths and studio monitors.

Vocals:

Rode NT1
Behringer Pre-Amp

Thats my setup. I guess it's getting better.

Peace

:this thread is so stupid:
 
I'm still expanding rapidly, but that's what I have right now:

- Pentium IV 2.5GHz w/ 1GB RAM and multiple HDs
- dual flat-panel monitors
- Logic Audio
- tons of VSTi and soft synths ... (too many to list here)

- Roland VM3100Pro 8in/out audio interface

- EMU XL-7
- Korg MS2000
- Korg EM-1
- Oberheim OB12

- Gefell 930 microphone
- AT-4047 microphone
- Neumann KM184 microphone
- Sennheiser 441 microphone
- Shure Beta SM57

- Focusrite Green Voicemaster Pro Channel strip
- Behringer Virtualizer 24Pro effects
- Behringer Patchbay
- Aphex Tubessence 107 mic pre
- Alesis 3630 compressor

- Oxygen 8 MIDI controller
- Technics turntables

- M-Audio BX8 studio monitors
- Gemini amp + 15" club speakers
- Sennheiser + Sony headphones
- Marantz dual-well professional CD-RW/CD-R

plus my beloved Keilwerth tenor sax and a bass guitar.

My next purchases will be mic-preamps (THE most single important gear IMHO), like a Manley, John Hardy or Fearn. Then I'll get a decent digital mixing board (most likely the Yamaha 01V96 or the DM24) and a Hammerfall optical or MOTU USB interface,

THM just checked yo site.
Very Nice work.
Any tips for an artist lookin to hook up his site?
 
my set up

some pots and pans out the kitchen
a tape deck with the record button broken
two tin cans with string

i'm trying to get a bootleg version of protools up on my tape deck but i don't think i've got enough ram
 
Royal Tee

That's pretty groovy lookin'.

It's the black curtains, man. It makes everything just sort of float. I don't know if it's as groovy to work in as it is to look at, but it's fun to look at, for sure.

For sure, I think all the clutter and detail in my office/recording studio screws with my head at times... then again it's pretty tidy now and I'm not doing anything and back when I was really churning stuff out it was a mess... hmmm. But, anyhow, I want black drapes. I think if I just put them in front of all my business crap so I didn't have to look at it when I was wearing my musician's hat....

:)

LMAO !
Thanx for the Compliment.
But they aren't Curtains, They're Sound absorption Panels and Bass Traps.
They Help "Deaden" they sound so I can get a pure Mix from my Monitors.
I also Have Sound Absorption Under the Carpeting too.
My goal was to just get pure sound from my Monitors with no reflection from anywhere else and create a nice, clean work environment.
 
In my old set up I used to use mattress style egg crate pads to absorb high frequency bounce (and when the ones I used on an ad hoc basis to do the same in the hallway that served as my soundbooth were rolled up they proved marginal bass traps for a problem corner). But, because they were the sickly pinkish beige they used to call "flesh colored" in less multi-culti times, they really didn't have the same glamorous look... (or probably the same full-range absorption... I think these things bounced frequencies in the 1-2K range just a bit more than you'd like.)

Anyhow, cool studio!
