Tomy's Studio Rebuild

[Tomy]

Yo! so this came about because my studio room was freaking filthy plus i want to start getting some rack / outboard gear.

This was the current state of the studio.

so yeah messy. step one was to find a new desk. i got mine through a mob in melbourne called Nova forge. http://www.novaforge.com.au/

step 2. Paint desk.

step 3. Put it together

step 4. re organise gear.

So thats the start of it. Some cables i need to tidy up etc. still to come speaker stands, new computer, Audio interface and compressor.

Will upload photos etc when i get the other stuff.

What monitors are those?

HS 80's by the look of it.

[Mitch]

Had a feeling they may have been

[russell]

Nice.

Looks a million times better then before.

[street]

nice, I got a novaforge desk as well, but didn't paint it, just a few coats of lacquer. Looks nice in black though.

I remember postage was a bitch haha, still worth it though

[ChevChelios]

Scrubbed up a charm m8.

Interested in how much postage you payed for that desk.

[GREMM1S]

So good.

[eggssell]

looks tops

feel free to give me any of your synths, sequencers or drum machines that don't fit into the new setup

happy to take them off your hands

[OxyKon]

Fuck tomy, you've done exactly what i plan to do once i get my new house, Bau5 setup dude

[Tomy]

Yep they are Yamaha hs-80's and the sub is from the same family. I rate these speaker very true sound.

The desk cost $425 plus about $100 postage. Probably spent about 150 on all the paint and shit too. Haha. But came up a treat. MDF sucks up the primer and paint like mad.

[Cupe]

fuaarr so tidy

[Bonz]

That is awesome...

Tomy i got the same Yammy's but i gotta know, how to they sound with the sub? with just general listening and producing.

is that the hs10w?

[Tomy]

yeah it sure is. I can't live without that sub now when it comes to mixdowns. I only have it turned up the tiniest bit though due to the size and shape of my room and i'm running a 80Hz cut on the 2 speakers so they don't fit for bass.

[Bonz]

Ahh I see.

my hs80 m's are on the flat setting at the moment and they run a nice clean bass through them but I always wondered if I was missing out on any necessary low end. But what you've done makes good sense

how much did u find the sub for if u dont mind me asking..

cheapest I can see is around $650

[Tomy]

yeah i think i got mine for around 600 off gumtree.

they speakers are pretty good on low end with out the sub i reckon but now i'm used to the sub i'm really liking it.

[Bonz]

true!

thanks dood

[legunner]

Sell me your microkorg :3

[wrxfiend]

nursing a semi! that is clean and tidy mate. MPC and Maschine, you greedy bastard LOL!

[Tomy]

hahaha yeah managed to pick that 1000 up at a reasonable price and it's a classic piece of gear. I don't use it too much not though because the machine is just so much easier to use.

[Tomy]

finally got the new audio interface. Focusrite Saffire PRO 40

goes alright. works well but i've heard there is issues with forcusrite and the thunderbolt on the newer mac's. which i'm hoping will be fixed by the time the new mac pro hits the street.

if you want to check out the specs and better pics of the unit check it here

[Mitch]

They say it is compatible, so i'd presume driver updates would come out to fix any major issues.

That interface looks dope as. Rack gear always looks neat

[Tomy]

yeah pretty chuffed with it so far plus my first bit of rack gear.

i have assumed the same man, i'm sure its just a driver / software / something which will be updated shortly.

[yizzle]

rack gear!
