My friend and I were discussing the fact that we would like to make the studio red and black, and I don't want to choose my next set of monitors based on color... so If I can just paint them red, id be a happy dude.

(a) the woofer IS white already.

(b) obviously, I mean completely obviously, one would never paint or even touch the diaphrams of the drivers in any set of speakers unless they intended to damage them.

So anyway, Kenny - I love the white concept and I HATE BLACK RACK GEAR. black is impossible for me to read anything on. and it's butt ugly imho.

give me colors or something other than black any day.

I plan on painting my home studio earth some type of pleasant and rich type of reds... maybe red on one wall, white on the next. I don't know though... I might be crazy (is that even relevant though)?

Kenny- after the whole thing is white, you could call it the iStudio.

Honestly, I would normally agree with you.

I would never use white.

But I'm discovering if you go over the top with it, it actually becomes a bold statement. Not just a lazy color choice.

Why not make that into a white studio with attached drive-through car wash to add in some variety.

Art starts in the mind. You can only bring that out in a dimly lit (or dark) studio where gear is black like nature intended.

Plus, I don't see any way that a lava lamp would show up in those white layouts.

You could still keep it dimly lit.

Exactly. That's the inspiration!!!!!!

thx dude, I like to have the enviroment color reduced with a lot contrast, i want the artist to be the colorspot or say the focal point, i think it´s´áll about the artist, if they feel inspired and special they will deliver the desired stuff.

Just don't cut any corners when painting!

ewe.... ns10s are the ONLY monitors in that setup. just, ewe. my opinion only of course, but I'd shoot myself in that setup. BUT the white is kickass and very 2001 a space odyssey :-)

While I like some of these pictures a lot, I did the control room of my last studio in white and regretted it. I was trying to keep it fairly conservative as it was in rental space. It had black furniture with oak trim and a grayish carpeted floor, but the walls and panels were still a pain to work with. I stuck the lowest wattage bulbs I could get in the track lights, then installed a variac to drop them even further and it still didn't look right. I ended up having to put a blue bulb in the middle light on each side of the room to balance things out a bit.

Probably go a different route on the next one.

Ok...so now I want to paint my studio black and white
