Photo's of my Studio control room.......

Cool cool cool...analog tape. I love you (in a totally platonic, internet sort of way ) I had one of those Teac 3340s for years. Is that an old Trident board?

 

[Jean Baudin]

Thanks for the compliments, guys.

if thats humble . . .

Well, it's humble compared to the places we typically record at. But I guess with plug-ins and all that the need for lots of gear really isn't too necessary anymore.

Wow Jean, is that that drumkit by any chance a TD-3?
My brother has one that looks just like that... Very nice stuff

Yeah, it's the TD-3, well actually the the TD-3SV (which has a mesh snare and an an extra tom). I've had some great results recording realistic drum parts with it (of course, with a real drummer - I'm not much a drumist).

jean! I want that viking helmet!! damn I'd rock that thing every day of my life! lol

Sorry... you can't have it. But it helps any, it's very painful to put on your head (no padding) and doesn't balance well even with the chinstrap.

Hey Jean,

Where did you pick that desk up? It looks like the perfect solution for having a PC and gear all together.

Thanks!

 

[Mon Rominee]

Bernie, I have a suspicion that is an Anthro systems desk, but could be wrong. Even so, try here Invalid Link Removed

This is the next desk I am getting. incredibly modular. curved, straight, scaleable.

I'll have my studio pics up really soon.

Hey Bernie,

I picked it up at Guitar Center a number of years ago... forgot the brand (and it doesn't have any markings on it) on top of that GC doesn't carry it anymore. It's not an Anthro desk - but it looks like one of those could do the job.

I see.

As far as desks go, I have one of these: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=home/search/detail/base_pid/546551/

It was cheap and does the job well enough. Perhaps slightly cramped with my MIDI keyboard (61 key, I wouldn't put a full size 88 key on this one, or larger monitors than what I've got, for that matter) sitting on it, but I'm getting a 2nd rack for my keyboard stand soon enough anyway.

Bob, that's actually a 1983 MCI JH600 Console. The 2 inch 24 track is also an MCI. We use the 3340 to play old tapes from years ago, it still sounds pretty decent.

I have more photo's if you're interested.

What do I use to record you ask?

Invalid Link Removed

I'm not kidding...

 

[nysbob]

Thanks for the pics, Treena. So you tracked the Tubes? Prairie Prince is really an outstanding drummer - sounds like fun.

Does it have S/PDIF outs?

No, but it comes with free stickers!

Bob,

I tracked and played Bass on 12 songs with Prairie on drums. Check out my sig line, you can hear about 7 songs from the album, For The Girls there if you like.

The one attached pic is kinda old... I don't have the old "relic" gear stacked on top amymore (old ART compressor/exapander/gate and an Aleseis Midiverb), and I use an Apple powerbook primarily for tracking now (not in the pic).

Apple G4/1.4Ghz/1Gb RAM Desktop
Apple Powerbook 17" G4 1.4/1.5Gb RAM.
Couple external FW drives.
Digidesign 002R running ProTools LE 6.9 or Ableton Live 5
Joe Meek TwinQ (preamp/EQ/photo optical compressor going into the 002R via optical S/PDIF).
Yamaha EX-5 sampler/synth workstation
Event 20/20 BAS monitors

Other than that stuff, a bunch of tangled cables, Roland TD20 v-drum kit (with extras), a few more guitars, a couple more basses, a Bass POD XT LIVE, Guitar POD 2.0 w/Floorboard, a number of dynamic, condensor and PZM mics.

My rig is pretty minimalistic:

Apple iBook G4 1.25 w/ 1.25GB ram
MOTU 896HD
Samson Rubicon 5a monitors
Read Purity pre/DI
Glyph GT050 FW drive

I typically track on AudioDesk, the free software from MOTU. I like it but will eventually upgrade to something that lets me edit without having to be connected to the 896HD. I have also used GarageBand for some stuff.

The mic locker is kinda sparse but has a decent collection of dynamics and condensers that get me through basic tracking. I'm happy to treat my rig like an 8-track tape machine with a nicer splice block and less head alignment hassles.

Mr. Meastro, how do like your TAC console? I keep seeing them on Ebay for stupidly low prices & I must admit I'm sorely tempted.
