Clicking on an image opens up a new tab with a larger image. BTW, how does everyone go about posting large pics!

Will post as soon as I get home!

I don't know if anyone has answered your post yet (just scrolled this thread through and looking at the pics), but you can upload images for example on Photobucket for free!

@All: Some have REALLY nice spaces here. Nice, keep posting!

Do none of you own a decent camera? These pics all look like they're 30 years old. :P

I do own a Panasonic Lumix DMC3, but the only handy thing that was around when I took the shot, was my cell phone, a Sony Ericsson K800i

My garage/bedroom/practice space.

The only problem is it is so nice they never want to leave the basement...

The Burning Room (beta)



Our sweet new space! Sorry about the cell phone pic, I was too stoked to wait for a decent camera, or to wait for it to be all painted and cleaned up nice nice. We just moved upstairs from our old space, which was what I had posted earlier. This place is great! I mean, whose got a stage?!? I can't believe how much louder my bass sounds either, I think it travels through the hollow floor better. (Bassists???...)

There were like five bands all sharing this space a couple months ago, it was FULL of gear. Now, its moderately empty with probably enough room for 30 people easy. And its alllll ours . I cannot wait til we play our first open house show!

[TBrett]

We have a standing weekly booking at a local practice facility. Backline is provided, along with drums. We just show up with instruments and play. We've had some great writing sessions in this room...

Our practice space is our house-gig stage.
We're all in our 50's with careers, families, other stuff AND we've all been doing music for 30~40 years(each member) so we work out songs via email, mp3's, and "do them". In 6 years we've actually gone to our singer's house twice(IIRC) and that was to work out four-part vocal songs.

My last real practice space was my large living room in New Orleans(Metairie actually) from the early 70's to 1985.

Lol, yeah it does kinda look like it

I used to do a lot of live band recording. The top rack is a 24-ch. recorder with mic/line preamps.
The other rack is all effects, compressors, Eq's, cd burner with some home stereo gear sitting on top.

updated pics from my space. not quite as spooky with the daylight coming in.

We Just moved out of our last place (leaks) and are in the process of trying to soundproof our new room a little bit.

Havent got many pics of the old place, thought I hjad some somewhere. This video for some friends of ours that we share with was made in there though (It's a piss-take of a 'Classic Albums' show:

Here's a pic of 'The bass wall' in the room too:



We've had to rent a hourly rated room for the last couple of weeks (though not rehearsing regularly, only for gigs) until our new place is finished.





A dog track was replacing all their carpets and gave is tons of the stuff, so we're covering the ceiling and walls with carpet and earthwool. Roof is metal though, which could be worrying!

Dude, if those egg cartons are as flamable as I think they are, you're in a MAJOR fire trap. Until I find out, I'd be REALLY careful.

Our guitarist re-arranged all of the amps to sit behind the drummer in our small 11x16 space over christmas as an experiment, we're moving to a new space next month so I guess we're leaving it this way for now:

[nativetrash]

Here is the space after being rearranged - now I have room to set up my 2nd amp once I get the cab in my hands

[Kamuilija]

My bandmates study at Sibelius Academy, so this is where my (acoustic) band practices - the brand new Helsinki Music Center.

Why are all of the amps mic'd?

Rofl! So true.



We get to practice in a decent sized auditorium.
The nice thing is that I always have access to the building and the area is almost always free.
