Love the lava lamp touch. Looks like someone swiped the back for your chair though. <grin>
That chair was a freebee from one of my customers. He had a bunch of broken chairs in the back storage room and I asked if I could have one. For playing guitar and sitting down.... no arms and no back is the way to go.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.
The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
I posted a photo on the old thread of our studio back in the analog days.
Nowadays our "studio" is a Mac, a Scarlett interface and several mics. We have a quilted table runner that hangs over a file cabinet and Janicefaces it when singing. She works up songs in another room with her old Martin box. I drag the upright bass into the computer room for my rare bass track. Nothing much to photograph but we love seeing the "real" studios folks post.
I can't believe how much I've changed my setup, gear-wise, since I posted that picture. One of these years when I get the space cleaned up, I'll take another picture.

I was thinking the same thing before I posted my current studio pics.... but I figured you can't see the spiderwebs and dust all that easily in the pic..... or the dog hair.

I was thinking the same too. I have to drywall the ceiling. At some point a previous owner made the ceiling with plastic lattice work over the wood beams. I also have to clean a lot of stuff out as the room has become my hoarding nest.

I just moved, which necessitated a large change in my gear setup. Got rid of about half my collection (including some guitars ). Gimme 6 months and my setup will be different again!

... Or the mass of cables under my desk that I covered with a couple gear cases just for the photo!

Added a 46" TV to the mix after getting a new one for the living room. Using it for flight sims and YouTube for now. I've got the concrete floors painted with concrete gray paint and added epoxy sealer to give the floor a little shine. Next step I have to do is tear out that ceiling and put in drywall. With the lattice ceiling every time we vacuum upstairs there's a dust storm here.... After the ceiling replace I'll replace the blue LEDs with multicolor ones and leave it bright white most of the time. WIP...
A couple days ago, I pulled out the lap piano (ok, Martin calls it a '67 D12-35) for the first time in 12 years to make tracks for one of my church bands. Because my left arm is still paralyzed since 2009, I use a Spider Capo to get the chords I want, then record playing each chord to a separate track that I edit together. Fun, huh? This band will add their own tracks and vocals to the scratch that I've made and the church will hear the final on Palm Sunday. Here's a pic showing a bit of the process:
The mic is my go-to AKG C535, the iPad shows the muted P-Bass VI — I tap on the glass to play. Digital Performer on the iMac Pro with the chart on the left monitor: the pink is Am; the blue is G; the MIDI track is the melody that I use as a guide when recording everything else. The singers and instruments will all be adding tracks — it's possible that none of mine will be left on the final except the 12 — that came out ok.

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
