composergreg,

Two months ago I posted that I was rebuilding my studio...

YESTERDAY I completed this fairly momentous task. :blobcatcheer:

Let's celebrate with some MUSIC! 🎶

    @mxtthxw

    Absolutely! It SO exciting...

    Good luck with your setup - would love to see photos, updates, or music that comes out of your process...

    @composergreg I posted some pics yesterday, you inspired me with your set up! This is the shed as of yesterday.

    @mxtthxw @composergreg I love the classic "pedalboard on a desk" aesthetic

    SusanHR,

    @composergreg @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises Hmmm. Pardon my ignorance, but why do you have so many keyboards? I just have one keyboard, and I can assign any samples to it.

    @doktorlond@mastodonmusic.social avatar

    @SusanHR @composergreg @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises I have many keyboards as well - I find that the more different keyboards I use in one production the broader and warmer the sound - I guess that is a thing with different analog outputs - you probably have a slightly different noise profile and keyboards might not be exactly in tune - but if you do things "in the box" with plugins only then thats another story ..

    SusanHR,

    @doktorlond @composergreg @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises Oh! I see! You record the keys analogue! I didnt think of anything but piano that way LOL!

    I use guitar, bass, violin vocals, for analogue keyboard and seblius for digital input.

    doktorlond,
    @doktorlond@mastodonmusic.social avatar

    @SusanHR @composergreg @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises sure - I guess if your samples are not too clean then their individual noise profiles should give the same effect - another important thing for me is that I love my individual keyboards - it's Instruments with all their different personalities and funny little quirks

    doktorlond,
    @doktorlond@mastodonmusic.social avatar

    @SusanHR @composergreg @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises and then of cause I've got analog synths that I constantly tweak so no sample business will get me near that :-)

    SusanHR,
    composergreg,

    @SusanHR @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises

    Ditto everything @doktorlond mentioned.

    Additionally, each instrument has limitations and a unique interface that changes the ways you might interact with it. This is especially true of the older instruments. (my oldest is from 1977) And finally, they were built with components that were often hand-picked by the makers.

    All of this brings a lot of individual character to their sound!

    SusanHR,

    @composergreg @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises @doktorlond I see! I was thinking with the computer screens in the picture it was likec electric keyboard MIDI! But I realize now it is more like a Moog or clavier!

    composergreg,
    doktorlond,
    @doktorlond@mastodonmusic.social avatar

    @SusanHR @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises and everything @composergreg mentioned :-D (except my oldest is my mini moog from 79 - or possibly my wurlitzer student electric piano 206 from which year I'm not sure 🤓 )

    Oh my! How do you get in and out of it? The chair looks like it's completely surrounded.

    @dancingtreefrog @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises @etherdiver

    That's just it... once you're in, you can NEVER LEAVE!! :awesome:

    I knew when I was laying out our furniture in our townhouse that putting my keyboard/synth, mixer and computer in the passageway between living room and kitchen was a mistake! 😉

    @etherdiver@ravenation.club avatar

    @composergreg @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises that's a lovely studio

    composergreg,

    @etherdiver @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises

    Thank you! So excited to get back to making music.

    @composergreg @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises Needs more cowbell. 😀

    composergreg,

    @DukeDuke @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises

    OMG!!! You're right... and there's NO ROOM for any more cowbell. 😢

    @composergreg @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises the telescoping side speakers are also projector mounts? I don’t think I’ve ever seen those before and it looks pretty ideal and space saving. I also have some MTMs I will eventually repurpose for Atmos assuming my interface ever gets proper support.

    Maybe you could do a brief gear write-up? It looks great and I’m in the same process now and could use ideas for a space similarly sized. I’m sure others could benefit too!

    composergreg,

    @moirearty @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises

    Indeed. They're all simple projector mounts from amazon.

    And thank you for the suggestion... I WILL plan do a write up/video showing how it all goes together.

    The MTMs aren't ideal in some ways, but in a small space like this, I've found they do just fine. And the ease of mounting made it a no-brainer!

    doktorlond,
    @doktorlond@mastodonmusic.social avatar

    @composergreg @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises very nice - you'll have to get down on all four to get in there I guess :-D a sure sign that you've done the ultimate setup

    composergreg,

    @doktorlond @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises

    EXACTLY!!! That's how I know it's finished. Because I CAN'T LEAVE! :flan_laugh:

    composergreg,

    @doktorlond @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises

    Thank you! It's my dream studio for sure!

    @composergreg That’s amazing. Also, please tell me you drop in from a fire pole.

    @adhdeanasl @composergreg I was going to say, I'm just picturing this interaction...

    A (from inside the synthesizer fort): it's done! My studio is complete!

    B: um...but um....how do you get out?

    A: what do you mean? Why would I ever leave?! All I need is the synthesizers...I am one with the synthesizers now....

    JoscelynTransient,
    @JoscelynTransient@chaosfem.tw avatar

    @adhdeanasl @composergreg seriously though, beautiful setup! 😍

    @alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.com avatar

    @composergreg @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises Also, one synthpr0n photo isn't enough. WE NEED ANGLES.

    composergreg,

    @alisynthesis @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises

    That's PART 2! (this was just a teaser) :blob_cat_giggle:

    kaoskit,

    @composergreg @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises Nice. But how do you get in there?

    composergreg,

    @kaoskit @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises

    Ah, but that's not the point! Once I'm in... I can NEVER leave! :flan_laugh:

    alisynthesis,
    @alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.com avatar

    @composergreg @kaoskit @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises that's cool but please don't call your studio Hotel California. (Also, I love the fact that you'll have to Google that joke to understand it.)

    alisynthesis,
    @alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.com avatar

    @composergreg @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises

    That is a seriously jaw-dropping studio. It kinda makes me feel competitive, which I know is wrong, buuut....

    ravetracer_22,
    @ravetracer_22@phpc.social avatar

    @composergreg Awesome! And I have only a small MIDI controller with 2 octaves and headphones 😅

    Unknowable,
    @Unknowable@troet.cafe avatar

    @composergreg @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises Looking neat. What is this device the speaker hangs on? I need to hang a couple of JBL4328P.

    composergreg,

    @Unknowable @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises

    Those are projector mounts... the iLoud MTMs are designed to mount on speaker stands in various configurations so it's easy to find adjustable mounts for them.

    @composergreg @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises clean & close access, but it looks like once you're in you're not allowed out... lol.

    looks like a lovely view from those windows too!

    composergreg,

    @tsrono @SubNeon @synths @synth_noises

    Wait... Why would i want to leave?!? :blob_cat_giggle:

    It's a good fit with my new slogan... "Just send food... I'll supply the music!"
