I'll give this a shot. It's nothing special but I appreciate the space. Guess I need to stick some foam on the walls! :)

The POD HD 500 fits perfectly under the desk under my feet. It's connected to a cheap Presonus Audiobox USB and my Macbook. Those are Mackie monitors with no cushions and something bouncing around on top of one. :eek: QSC K10 (also connected to the POD) sits on a headless Mesa cab. My cab needs head. I have a Crown power amp under the bandanda hiding the gaping space on the left side of the desk. Have used it with the POD and the Mesa but with the K10, I hardly see the point in this space. Various guitars that I can't play are on the other side of the room.

I have to say, one of my favorite finds recently was a 4U rack mount drawer on Craigslist for $25. It fits nicely on the right side of the desk. I wasn't about to pay the going price for something new.

Last but not least, that's an old Pioneer receiver on top of the desk. That thing is probably somewhere around 30 years old and sounds fucking amazing. I use it primarily to listen to vinyl.

Everyone's seen my setup already, but since it was nice out and actually sunny, I figured I'd snap a few pics. They got washed out anyway, but fuck it. :lol:

Here's my music room.



Other side. Comfy leather couch and some fiddles.



Fiddles:





Behind the drums, more fiddles.



My kit. Started out as a basic TD4, and I upgraded, erm, everything but the head.



Looking out from off-tempo-land:



Other side, tubes + video games for that big TV up there.



No tubes.



Mixer that runs my wedges, drums, bass DI and the Fractal.



Stuff I step on, and do my best Dickinson when nobody's looking.



And in from the door.

My Setups

Home Studio:
My home studio is pretty basic, I mix everything inside the box, so even though I own a mixer I've removed it from my setup as it was more hassle than it was worth for my home studio needs. I currently can't record drums at home (Hoping to change that soon) so more than 2 channel inputs is fairly pointless. Set up is i7 920 overclocked to 3.8Ghz, 12GB RAM 1600Mhz, Asus P6T Motherboard, GTX 560, M-Audio Delta 1010, M-Audio DSM3's, 2 x 24 inch monitors, Line 6 KB37. Beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro, 2 Electric Guitars, 1 Acoustic and 2 active bass guitars. Cubase 5, Melodyne Editor, Superior drummer 2.0 and Ozone 3 & 5 as my main plugins. one comfortable black leather sofa lol




Work Studio:
New studio started at the beginning of the year. Small project funded my friend David, who's trying to help offer recording services to the local bands. Photos taken during the studio's first ever recording session, which was 8 bands in one day for Lifeboat fundraising charity CD.
Setup: i5 2700K, 8GB RAM, 2 x Presonus firestudio's, 2 x RODE NT2A, AKG Drum Mic Set, 2 x AKG Pencil Condensers, 5 x SM57, 5 x SM58, Cubase 7, Peavey XR 1212 1200 Watt, 4 X Peavey 400 Watt Loudspeakers. Can;t remember the make of the studio monitors.
