I don't know if this will generate much interest and maybe it's been done before, but I would love to see some pics of fellow community members home studio setup and environment you produce your music in. I have included a pic of my humble setup which includes a computer driven system (A Sweetwater Creation Station) running Studio One. My interface is by Digidesign. I used to run Pro Tools but switched over to the more user friendly (for me anyway) Presonus product. Also included are my Fender and Marshall amps that I like to mic. My sound absorption panels are home made from plans I found on the net. They work nicely! Looking forward to seeing what you folks use! Thanks
We had a studio of sorts 20 years ago as pictured but now it consists of two mics, an iMac, small KRK monitors and a USB interface...that's it -- replaced everything analog in photo. Same room but a Bowflex occupies a lot of it along with the iMac, etc. The only real "studio" feel is the carpet...rest of the house has pine floors. Not shown is a file cabinet that has a quilted table runner hangin over the drawers. Janice sings into that. Nothing on the walls or ceiling. Just a workout, storage room and our “studio”
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos
Thanks for posting J&B! Whatever you have in that room is working very well as it is evident in your recordings. Sometimes all one needs is some carpet and properly placed furniture! It's great to get a mental picture of you all working in that space! I have to have some " acoustic treatment" in my space because it's in a basement with a concrete floor and a rectangular room. The biggest benefit is that's very quiet down there even though a major highway is only about 100 yards away.
Joe, I don't have a lot of hardware involved in my setup. In addition to my digidesign interface and creation station computer I have a rack audio mixer a couple of power conditioners. and a CD player. Software has replaced a lot of hardware over the years. Other items pictured are a portable Korg 32 track digital recorder, Yamaha PSR S975 keyboard, a controller keyboard, the essential lava lamp and Charlie Brown who has been keeping an eye on me since the 1960's.

There's a reason for that. We don't have room for a studio in our house. The only room we have I could have used has a closet with the furnace in it right off the bedroom. And it's right next to the family room as well where the TV is.
So the studio is literally in a corner of our bedroom, and everything but the Guitar fits behind that wooden screen when people come over to visit so our room looks decent.
It's a damned compact little studio. This is where all the "magic" happens :-)
Phil, it may be just a "corner of the room studio " but you have produced some really good sounding stuff out of that small space. Thanks for posting! T
