several shots of my music room (seems dishonest to call it a studio)

This is one view of my
MAIN RECORDING AREA where I use BIAB and RB to build the songs

The walls and desk are treated with packing foam that came from a FedEx store. Apparently they get packages that are full of this stuff all the time, and they just throw it in the dumpster. I didn't have to dumpster-dive though... I know the manager, and he set it aside for me.


This is a view to the side, showing KEYBOARD AND SYNTH MODULE


Farther to the right is my PERFORMING SETUP where I tweak the songs for consistent volume when played together in a live set. At this stage I also add and test the MIDI commands that are used to control the rack devices (shown) and floor pedals (not shown)

this is a better shot of my RACK MODULES which are (from top to bottom):

1) Behringer VAMP, a totally MIDI controllable guitar effects and amp modelling unit

2) TCHelicon Voiceworks, a totally MIDI controllable vocal processor, capable of adding just about any kind of harmony.

3) Presonus STUDIO CHANNEL tube preamp with integrated compression and EQ which I'm currently just using as a preamp for my acoustic instruments

4) BE Sonic Maximizer

5) Radio Shack Mixer, which receives the output from backing tracks, guitar processor and vocal processor, sends it thru the sonic maximizer, then provides the signal that goes to active PA speakers

6) Furman Power strip, all other modules plug into it

Everything stays setup... just roll the rack into a gig and plug in the speakers and we're ready to go.

the next pic is a USB SWITCH that sends keyboard hotkey characters to stop and start the jukebox program that delivers the backing tracks during a live set.

Currently a hard floor, but that will change soon. The room is in the basement and I've had water problems until recently. Now that there isn't a river every time it rains hard, I can risk carpeting or at least throw rugs
