wondering what peoples studios consist of


Guest

Guest etherdesign

Hardware:

PIII 933Mhz, 384mb SDRAM, 17" Proview Monitor

Echo Mia

Event 20/20bas Monitors

Behringer 1604A Mixer

Korg Electribe-A

Korg Poly-800

Yamaha TX81Z

E-Mu ESI-32 Sampler 32meg / No SCSI

Roland TR-606

Roland SH-09

Kaysound MK-4902 MIDI Keyboard

Lexicon MPX-100

 

Software:

Acid Pro v3.0

LAP v4.7.2

Reaktor v3.0.2

Vaz Modular v2.1

Wavelab v3.04c

Loads and loads of DX/VST/VSTi plugins

 

Except for the computer and the monitors, I got all the synths, the sampler, and the lexicon for about the price of one (1) Access Virus kb or Waldorf Q kb.. not too shabby, plus it's a way more versatile setup even though I may not be able to get crazy sounds as easily, it's much more of a modular setup and fun.. the SH-09 and Electribe A both have external audio inputs, so I can go through the filters of those (and the effects on the Electribe),

not to mention after I record, tweaking with all the plugins.. so.. you don't have to drop alot of cash on new cool VA gear to get some good sounds.. Go have a look at www.sonicstate.com, look through the synths and go to their classifieds section, you can build up a decent studio cheap if you look at less popular gear!

(Tasty analogue is getting cheaper now that everyone is starting to prefer the VA synths, can't figure that one out, except for maybe MIDI and a bunch of presets)

 

PS If you're in the market for monitors, check out the Event 20/20bas, I love mine.

They sound like they should cost 2 or 3 times more than they do.

My studio is only 1/2 finished,

but I'll bore you anyway:

 

Sampler - Akai S2000, fully

loaded w/ 8 outputs

 

Synths - Roland Alpha Juno,

Sequential Pro-One (badly

needing repair), & a DW8000

coming in the mail

 

Sequencer - Roland MC500

(don't laugh)

 

Other Stuff - Mackie 1202,

DBX parametric equalizer

 

As you can imagine, I have a

pretty long wish list (a good

DAT machine for starters)

... I try to keep it simple,

though. I have no desire to

use any computer or plugin at

this stage (I'm typing this on

a Dreamcast), & get very upset

when people say "oh, just

install this-and-this software,

you can make tracks easy".

The convenience of computers

is great, but people have

forgotten how to just hook

things up in physical space

and make music. At least,

that's been my experience.

 

That said, I do have my eyes

on a G4 sometime in the

future ;)

Howdy -:)

No, i'm not form Israel, i'm from Israel.

I named myself spirit of inidia, becuase i really like this country visually, and most important becasue the roots of my fav. style-goa trance is in India.

If u listened to my track, i will be happy to get an email form you, telling me if u liked it or not.

Nowadays, i'm trying to find a label that will pubish my tracks, so feedback is important for me.

Peace, Love & Goa Trance!

Namaste!
