Speaking of automation. I use Sonar with a MotorMix. This is a pretty good way of getting the best of both worlds. Sonar doesn't use the MotorMix as well as it could, but it's not half bad, or better said maybe, it better than half good. Rolling Eyes

Yep - music isn't a "person with the most toys, wins" type of thing. Plenty of amazing musicians with virtually nothing.

Well I finally got a digital camera (that I don't know how to use very well yet) so here's a dark, fuzzy picture of my setup:

The cat has a profound look on its face. Sorta like "this human is sad. He needs all this shit to be happy."

The setup looks very nice. That table can probably a ton of stuff.

How about my studio (aka Sonsabitch Studios, CA):

HI-FI, baby!

Hey, Ponk. Do you get enough stereo separation with the speakers pointed at each other like that? What kind of effect are you getting with that arrangement?

zynthetix · Posted: Wed Feb 02, 2005 9:34 pm Post subject:

Is that black and grey thing in the middle of the speakers a mic? if so, I've never seen anything like that, does that set up sound good?

Ponk · Posted: Thu Feb 03, 2005 11:46 am Post subject:

No, it does NOT sound good. It's hard to say anything about the stereo separation, because it hisses and buzzes so much that almost nothing else gets recorded. And yes, it is a mic in the middle... well, kind of, it isn't meant for recording any kind of instrument, but it's the only one we got Wink

We get a ture evil black metal effect from it (I've been toying with the idea of recording a black metal album with an answering machine Smile

) We are using this set up for recording some extreme lo-fi guitar&bass noise...

Hey,

if this is turning into a "show me yours, and I'll show you mine" thread kinda thing...

Here's my setup:

Three wetsuits and a humble repository of gear.

PS. the MicroModular is blatantly absent, picture the little red devil somewhere at 3 o'clock to the mixing desk.

Da mess. I call it "Signal Automatique" after a name sign graciously donated by the french railways. The bass is sleeping over for a while, I´m trying to play it. I´m quite good at it for somebody who has been trying to play it for a month and has had no lessons. Ok, I suck.

Not visible is the desktop used for browsing just off the left edge, the mandatory double turntables and a stack of somewhat modified childeren´s toys and stuff. There are also a couple more rack modules hidden behind the laptop. Recently I gave the laptop a second monitor which is quite usefull but I can´t be bothered to take a up to date picture.

I like this thread, it's so good to see I'm not the only one who seems to be fighting a constant battle with my studio. My main problem is lack of space, too much gear and not enough time, shouldn't complain though Smile

that's a link to some photos of my studio few months ago. in the mean time I sold a few things (G4, Virus C, MU100R, SU10, PC1600X, Ozone) and bought new ones (iMacG5, BCR2000, BCF2000, FW1814)

OMG I am so jealous of you guys...

I feel like a really small fish, hopelessly lost in a tankful of hardware sharks...

No photo from me (it's really not worth it), just a list:

Hardware:
P4 3Mhz PC, 512 Mb RAM (onboard soundchip - ugh)
Roland E-16 (used for MIDI control only)

Software:
Ableton Live!
Sonar
FLStudio
Absynth
FM7
100s more VST synths & fx

Nearly all my stuff was free, either given to me by kind benefactors or found on streetcorners, or in second-hand stores. All in all (with the exception of 1 or 2 software packages) my entire setup cost me around $100.

Still, my first big expenditure is on it's way: I wanted a Novation X-Station (the small 2 octave version), but then I found an almost exact copy of it in the form of a MIDI controller for about half the price (also from Novation)...so that is no1 on my shoppping list!
