Smile Phat low end studio theory - pictures wanted!

Since I read "synths are NOT high end™" in the high end forum, I feel even more attracted by low end theory... I like synths. Especially old Rolands.

Make the low end look like high end - A PHAT mix needs a PHAT low end, doesn't it? And a Juno 106 makes a high end job in the bass range...

So I'd say some Synths are high end low enders.

Here's my 2c-pic that makes my low end studio (synths included) look like high end.

My theory: Sometimes it's all about photoshopping or a good song that makes a studio high end.

I'm looking forward to see your pictures.

Dude, what did the photoshopper do to your hair?

You also bear more than a passing resemblance to Lister from Red Dwarf...

Anyhoo, wicked picture!

...yeah, you're right. I ain't got no buckethead, no pimp beard either, I just wanted to try what it'd look like.

I'm doing lots of fashion graphics design to serve my gear£u$t, so I'm familiar with plastic screen surgery.

Only 6.


Got some more in other rooms.

My clients love listening variety like I do.

There's a club in the same building for 120dB test drives, too


Here's another piccy - "sensitive negotiating with stubborn customers"...

(...I use the air gun for hunting mice in the basement during autumn).

Dude, that picture is hilarious. Awesome! I am going to come to your studio and get shot in the eye when I tell you the bass in the mix is too much for my tastes.

Actually, I keep a pellet gun in my studio too. I shoot other cats that f*ck with my cat. Nobody messes with my cat. Also useful when negotiating rates to keep it just in view of the client on a table or sticking out of a drawer. No more $20/hour gigs.

Darthfader, you need to make a calendar.

Thumbs up I'll make your gear look goooood.

Cool synth. I still want a JP-8.

Matucha - get rid of the flash and use a camera stand.

I'm not a such synth slut, SH09 suits my needs... though one SCI ProOne would be nice ;-), when I heard it, it was strange expirience, real strong sound... "don't stand in my way, I'll gonna be the ruler in the mix!!!!"

Yeah, I like the weirdo gear. Speakers upside down.

I got the SM6A's (active)

They aren't bad at all. But don't buy them if you're into distorted guitars. They do well on pop/hiphop, quite amazing detail and lowend for the price. But for my rock productions I recently got the PMC AML1. Feels great. Beyond compare. Wrong forum for the AML1, sorry.

Thanks for the extra buckethead, narco.
