Looks like a very creative space. I'm not familiar with any of the outboard gear, but I am wondering how old the house is and whether that radiator still works:)

Big room. Dig those Gibsons. Is that Sonar I see? I use it too.

Just saw this and laughed. The house was built in 1912 by my wife's grandparents. The radiator works fine.

1912! Wow, how sensational is that!

Sure hope you gave it a party for its centenary. I sometimes wonder if houses they build today might see a century.

No big deal - my cabin is older. All we know is that it was there in a map of 1890.

(Sorry to hijack this thread.)

Cool, real cool. Don't tell me, 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 4 car garage. No?

Nevermind, I like that. As a youngster we used to find & restore old cattleman's & loggers cabins in the High Country. Kerosene fridges, pot-belly stoves. Ahhh.

OK, so I whined to my wife about not being cool like all the other guys here since I didn't have a lava lamp.

So guess what showed up in the mail today, to my surprise?

Well, all I can say is that before - no matter how cool it looked, it was never a real studio.

But now? Yes now, you've made the grade. A real studio. Congratulations!

Not exactly a studio, but my workspace in a place where space is at a premium. Hong Kong...:-)

How do you find the Integra-7?

It is currently still a little above my pay grade. The unit itself is incredible. The sounds are incredible.

I got off to a rough start due to my lack of understanding midi in getting it to communicate with BIAB and Matt Finley helped me to get over that bump. I'm still working in that area.

Looks like a great box Charlie. Have you got to listen to the drum sounds? How are they?

All of the drums are really good. The Integra comes with a drum expansion sound addition and just playing the demos, they are practically indistinguishable from RealDrums in BIAB to my ear. The Supernatural guitars was the main purpose for my decision to purchase it.

Thanks Matt. My current struggle is trying to understand the CC's and program changes from a good, quality midi song file in BIAB and the way the Integra processes them.
For instance- Glenn Frey's "The One You Love" sax intro.
I will post a new thread so as to not hijack this one.

I cannot quite call my work space a studio but it meets my requirements for now.

A noisy desktop for mixing and a laptop for recording.

I did a little DIY on a mike isolation shield and I am quite surprised at the "flat" response.

I hope I will be able to attach some pics of the man cave which is conveniently separated from the main house

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
