New rack that will be going under computer and audio monitors is coming soon. Tracking room is also my home theater. Gear list: (nothing slutty) http://mysite.verizon.net/resq6asf/id2.html |

However, you see exceptions to this. Like rooms that are proper built out studios but have crummy gear. Or rooms that are not typical studios and yet simply have to be considered high end due to amazing gear and creative design. Definitions also get tough because of the trend toward one room studios, i.e. a big control room is the whole studio. But for me personally, I have to say that my studio fits the description by DrDeltaM quoted above, some nice gear in a low end room. | |

| This time its 2 Distressors, I dont think I can justify calling that low end even if he had a 002The boombox is a nice touch though. Been meaning to add one of those here.... |

So perhaps the definition of a low end studio is less about the gear and room, and more about the engineer and his or her clientele? When I hear "low-end", I think of a project studio where the owner is recording their own music and perhaps making a few bucks on the side recording local talent. (There are plenty here I'm sure who fit that bill but might still be able to cough up four figures for a sweet piece of gear every once and a while - eventually building an impressive arsenal of tools & toys!) | |

And yes, that boombox is essential hardware. The first thing that happens when I burn a CD is that it gets put into the boombox and checked. I do think that my place is a generally high end midi/composer's writing studio, but a low end recording studio in the traditional sense due to the total lack of a proper acoustic design (and no acoustic recording space). My studio is designed for recording synth/sampler scores and for mixing tracks recorded in commercial studios elsewhere. For that it works well. | |

| What kind of inputs, if any does the boombox have? Im wondering if it can also be used as a second or third monitoring set up right out of the converter? That would be sweet |

I buy broken bits of gear from ebay and fix them. This weeks purchase was a Kurzweil K2000 keyboard for $250- just needed boot roms replaced. There are a lot of bargains out there people. **** software- hardware synths are the shit and can be had for spare change. Arriving tomorrow is a Roland Dance Module- yes the one pulled from sale due to copyright issues. Paid 100 euro. My piano (from 1896) cost $10 from Ebay.

And I agree about there being a lot of bargains out there. Some of my gear I got for cheap, although I do buy many pieces new. A few months ago I picked up a Sony D7 delay box for $103 and all it needed was a new battery, which I soldered in myself. | |

I had a Kawai K1r arrive recently that just needed a new 3v battery. Paid about $50 for it. Also Yamaha FB01 (like a mini DX7 in a 1/2 rack) for $35. The 3 Quasimidi synth were cheap or free- the polymorph being the best bargain. The main bargain in outboard was a D&R stereo FET compressor for 150 euro. Wicked sounds from it. The 4 TT patchbays were $50 a piece- enough connections to last me a long while, 384 of them. What are other peoples bargains. | |

| >But for me personally, I have to say that my studio fits the description by DrDeltaM quoted above, some nice gear in a low end room.< Well then get about the business of getting that room taken care of. I can see many pieces of gear in there that cost twice as much as treating the whole room and that is not DYI panels either. Glenn |
