Video Of My Home Studio / Music Room

[monkeyrocketsurgeon]

I put together this walk through of my studio and guitar collection, i thought some of you fellow music makers here, might like to check it out.

it's taken about 7 years to go from one guitar and a couple of amps, to this present setup.

piece by piece it was like this on the recording side.

- Cakewalk Guitar Tracks Pro 2 software - it's pretty simplistic, doesn't do midi (not that i'd know what to do with it!) but the interface is simple and more tracks than i've ever used, lots of effects and conditioning stuff built in.

- Line6 POD XTLIVE - an amp modeler with over 100 amp, cabinet and effects box models.. it's usb in to the computer and acts as a soundcard. so very clean recording can be had.

- MXL 990 condenser mic and PRESONUS tube mic preamp - these for vocals and acoustic recording have served very well. i went into the POD XTLIVE for years recording voice and it worked real well, the preamp warms up the vocals very nicely.

those gave me everything needed to record pretty good quality (well with a decent PC of course), Cakewalk had a huge selection of drum tracks that came with the software, so for rock and roll i was set.

when i re-purposed the room, i researched some way to not be subject to headphones, and added:

- Peavey USB mixer - it also acts as soundcard and functions as my amp for the Line6, Keyboard, Computer, turntable...

- Yamaha reference speakers w/subwoofer - these have become my main amp in the house now, the line6 out of these is really solid, you miss a little feel that you'd get through a tube amp, but really only a little.

well that's my setup

Cool setup. Couldn't watch the whole video though - took forever to download here ... :/ ...

One thing I hate is the posts being at the top for the cables. I don't have a set up except for my amp and guitar...and guitar, but at church we do, and to me it seems that over time the force of the cable pretty much pulling on its self wears it out...I think they would benefit to put the jacks on the side verses the top.

Nice setup, btw.

Loved the video. The Guitar wall frame with the steel poles with guitars hanging from looked awesome! Good job!
