I do like looking at some lush outboard. Some nice stuff you got there, would love to get my hands on a 160 someday.

Axe Fx Ultra
M-Audio Fast Track Pro (as my midi-interface for the AxeFx)
Apogee Duet 2
Mackie HR824MKii monitors
Furman PL8
BBE 482i
QSC K-12
Akai MPK 88 and LPK 25 (as my midi controllers)
Beyerdynamics DT770 Pro headphones

and then just lots of VSTs, plugins, etc. (Omnisphere, Trilian, Symphobia2, the entire Toontrack library, some of the Tonehammer stuff, the Waves plugins, bla bla bla yada yada yada ... hopefully Alchemy soon and maybe LASS and a few SampleLogic VSTs)

Here's the picture. I'll hopefully move into a bigger apartment at some point soon to have everything in a separate room. You can't see the AxeFx (hiding behind the MPK88) and the Apogee Duet was on backorder when I ordered it. Should arrive within the next ... two weeks or so.
I use Planet Waves cables and D'Addario strings exclusively.

Very simple but very comfortable setup here, looking to get a Presonus 2626 rack interface and a pre-amp soon though.

Edit: Also to get matching floor lamps.

Haha, I don't know about that, but I'm grateful for the regard. eBook should hopefully come about in a few short months.

Don't know if this qualifies, but here are some shots of a few new gear acquisitions for the studio:

And from yesteryear...

Hi,

It it indeed great to have you on this forum. I have read some of your threads/posts on the Sneap forum, GREAT stuff.

Your studio pics look amazing, I assume you not only are a pro audio engineer but also a pro photographer!

Ermz · 07-11-2011, 06:37 AM

Ah that's awesome, very really glad the guides were helpful for you guys.

@Santuzzo: Whenever the camera is in my hands I like to pretend I'm an amateur photographer, haha. It's a bit of fun trying to make something as ugly as a JVM look less ghastly.

How do you like the Harley Benton cab? Is it a 2x12?

To be fair, some are mine and some belong to the band that I was recording.

Now I only own a Road King, Uberschall, Superdrive 45 and the SVT classic. The ENGLs are gone, and the 5150 and Splawn are not mine.

Not shown: '97 UV7bk, Schecter Blackjack 7, giant stack of pizza boxes which I glued tones of foam onto the insides for quick soundproofing when needed, and lot more foam.

the blue condenser is in a makeshift booth made of 3 box springs stuffed with foam with a foam roof and a the bedroom door. Walk into my spare room, whoa, it's a ghetto booth. rofl.

I no longer own it. For the price it was quite good, but it had some undesirable characteristics across the mids. It was a 2x12.

Ok, thanks !

I was considering one of these but then decided to go for a Laney 2X12 cab instead.

Seeing as it's just a few days over a year since I made this thread, here's my setup now:

I've upgraded my monitors and interface to ADAM S3X-Vs and an RME Fireface 400 respectively. I've also moved to an attic room in my house that happens to be really rather good to mix in (the whole thing is insulated with fiberglass and the walls are thin enough that most frequencies seem to travel straight through rather than reflecting back).
Next up is some decent room treatment!

ROAR · 08-27-2011, 12:27 PM

^That's really awesome Nolly.

Customisbetter · 08-28-2011, 09:21 AM

Just moved into a new house. This room sounds much more controlled than the last cave of haunting reverberations.

ifin quality for now...

ttiwguitar · 08-29-2011, 09:13 AM

Studio room in our apartment... I live with the other guitarist and bassist in my band. We do all of our demos in this room. It's a cozy spot! I don't know how well it's suited for mixing, but we don't really do anything here that would be released. Once I can afford it, I'll probably upgrade the monitors/room for mixing purposes, but for now this works fine for tracking.

Macbook, RME Babyface, Shure SM7B, Reaper, lots of plugins, PRS/Ibanez geetars, and a couple of Fender basses.

tr0n · 08-29-2011, 04:17 PM

Sound on Sound is yes Nolly. Also, those Adam's look damn scary, I can imagine the air displacement creating ripples on your face, like you're in one of those G-Force centrifuges. D:

Psyy · 09-01-2011, 04:24 PM

Hey Nolly, just wondering what you like about the S3X-V's over the A7's. I'm thinking of upgrading over my Mackie MR8's and have been seriously considering going with Adam.
