The Tiny Studio Corner Thread

[stay_spooky]

All those guys were so talented! Are you a fellow Daytonian?

[madeofoak]

hey thanks!

tl;dr setup details

• roland tr-8s clocks everything (usb right into norns, worked great)
• main skiff voice is jf > optomix, played with a tsnm in arp mode modded by wogglebug, ochd, & mn contour, out thru a bastl hendrikson into a moog delay pedal
• morphagene playing a harmonium recording into the ext in on a mother 32
• volca fm into a fairfield barbershop
• acoustic guitar mic’ed by a field recorder into norns running cheat codes (programmed a sequence in advance, then amelia just toggles the live buffer recorder at the right time - love this low stress technique)
• also our harmonium out of frame

My other home office

My Studio for today. Going to learn the Minibrute, so skipping everything else.

Wow, amazing performance! Some how this is my first time hearing Sylvan Esso

Edit: Just finished watching ‘Sylvan Esso - WITH: Live Concert Film’ and I’m hooked. I’ve definitely been living under a rock, so excited to listen to their entire catalog!

Just finished re-organizing my space. Will be upgraded with a proper stand for the eurorack and a 0-ctrl next week.

[varispeeder]

I just upgraded from the thumb-operated Logitech one I was using and it’s night and day! way easier on my hands.

I also like that you can assign a key command to dramatically slow the movement down, it makes drawing in automation in Pro Tools so precise. So with the macro keyboard I hit a button switch to pencil mode, click down, and then press a button that holds Shift+Ctrl+Opt+Cmd to slow the mouse down while I carefully draw it. Then when I release the button it sends Cmd+7 to switch me back to the Smart tool!

i like the customised op1

[rennerom]

Gotta ask what keyboard you’ve got there. I find myself getting drawn into the mech keyboard community more lately. Just got in on a Preonic group buy. Hope I don’t regret the ortholinear commitment.

[delmerdarion]

Swapped to a planck a couple of months ago - absolutely no regrets, you’ll get used to it much quicker than you expect. It’s the perfect keyboard for a tiny studio corner!

[philmaguire]

More progress! Rackmounted the Serge today. So nice to have it at that angle and height. Perfect for patching seated and tweaking whilst recording.

Just need to figure out patchbay cabling now…

[beaunoise]

Looking great! What stands are you using for the Genelecs?

[gregory.bell]

I’m relocating to a smaller place for a few months, and have been surprised to see how much the sidecar can hold - this will do!

[philmaguire]

Fluid DSS Monitor Stands, but they’re too big, really. The 8010s only just sit on top without falling through the hole!

Since I last posted here, I moved studios twice, ending up back at the spot I last had posted here, but art up on a different wall, either slightly different gear. Not shown (because I wasn’t taking the photos for this thread specifically) is my percussion and solenoid, as well as prepared speakers rig, area, off to the left. (Edit - that stuff can be seen in the linked IG post, and the second photo is of my newest acquisition, which I was pleased at how well it fit the last bit of available space)

I’ll just have to join the choir and let you guys know how nice this was to see (and hear). It was so very intimate and welcoming. But it also made me quite melancholic since it wasn’t that long ago I watched “WITH” and dreamt about going to bigger shows… Comparing those two feels like ages apart.

[PacificNorthWes]

Late but jealous. I looked at the Vitsoe stuff a LOT, but ended up buying some Elfa stuff instead, which feels like 80% of the quality at 20% of the cost.

[bassik]

Really enjoyed your set!!! thank you!!!
