Welcome to HochHouse Studios - Doing a little recording work this morning.


You can see why I am an advocate of a big-[*****] computer. Really, I can't say [*****]?

Thanks for sharing Jazzmandan. Yeah, I like a big honking PC too, a Dell Workstation in my case.

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

Nice setup Patrick. I think you missed a spot with that sound-proofing! grin


Now, get some business cards, get a Bandmix site (free)

http://www.bandmix.com/


And get out there and start playing!

Pretty good setup there Pat.
Ample use of sound absorbing paneling, and well laid out work area.
I guess you could get some good results with that gear.
Thanks for sharing

Jazzmandan, if I had a setup like yours, I would never get any music made, I would just set back and keep saying pretty! Thanks for sharing photos of your awesome setup!

Hi Pikeyh

There are two ways to do this, I prefer the second method, but this is only personal preference

Please refer to this post which shows how

In the reply screen, directly above the typing window.... the 4th icon from the left is "Enter an image"

click on it, paste the web location of the picture, the next step is click OK and there it is. It won't look right in the reply screen but the pic shows up in the final.

Use a service like Photobucket to store your pics on the web that you wish to post.

Pikey,

I really like your studio... very neat and convenient...

but regarding having all the guitars right there in the same room: I started out that way because its just so convenient to have all the instruments within arm's reach. But after installing the foam to minimize room reflection, I kept hearing a reverb-like sound every time I played...

Turns out that the strings on all those guitars were set to motion by the sound waves from whatever I was playing, and the effect was much like spring reverb.

I moved the instrument rack to the adjacent room and the "spring reverb" (STRING reverb?) went away.

Just a thought for the back of your mind...

I just keep them in the cases until needed. If you are setting off string vibration on acoustic guitars, you may be monitoring too loud as well. However, with them hanging on the wall - that is where most acoustic modes will have their highest pressures, so it's certainly possible that you will excite the acoustic guitars for sure, not so much electric guitars. Same for drums actually if you have them in a combo tracking/monitoring room.

My exact thoughts as well.
