Post your Studio! <Talkbass Edition! v.01>

Keyboard mount arrived and everything fits! A small riser for the drum pad would be neat. I am done for a while. I think I have about a thousand hours worth of ZOIA and MIDI knob twiddling to do.

In the nature of sharing . . . here is my humble home studio. I mostly only mix in here, I'm putting out about an album a year lately. It is easier to go on location (into the lounge!) for tracking things. This is also where I do my solo practice- I am lucky enough to have the Ashdown Little Bastard :)

The acoustics are rubbish, although the acoustic panels do help. Decent headphones is the secret to a good mix - I LOVE my DT1990s.

Simple, cheap little setup I've thrown together over the weekend in my living room. Just a cheap HP laptop, a Motu M4 interface, cheap alesis monitors and an assortment of toys and odds and ends. Haven't recorded anything in over a decade, I'm still figuring out the software and never knew anything about recording/engineering but I'm having fun and threw this together yesterday
 
The Music Room got a fresh coat of paint in January of this year:

And a MIDI controller that I am trying to figure out:

Having been frustrated with the whole DAW/Mixer conglomeration I have, I am thinking about a portable multi-track recorder. Any suggestions?
I love your space. Lots of toys!

In terms of a simple/portable recorder, I've been looking at these:

Nothing personal but there is more money in paint than your Scarlett interface.
