Christhemusician Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Hypothetically if you were going to build a studio for your own personal use and experimentation what would your fantasy set up be?Analogue or digital? Budget or extravagant? Stationary or portable? Mics, monitors, headphones, everything you care to list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayeth Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 who fantisises over a budget studio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonhenry Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 one that uses big slabs of open reel tape. An old Studer or MCI 2-inch 16 track machine and a couple of old Ampex mic preamps. Sympte-synch the ree2reel to a digital recorder. Oh, and a big air-conditioned room and a full-time engineer. It is a fantasy set-up after all.But, if it had to be practical, it'd be protools.

Hog Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Lots of decent mikes, digital drum kit, Marshall and Mesa Boogie Amps, em, lots of tracks so I can record millions of vocal layers, lots of ladies, a cellar full of vintage wines, a barbecue outside. Yeah that should be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Byre Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Keilan's liust is somewhat strange: No DAWs, no modern desks, no drum miics, no building, no designer, no tracking recorder, no piano, no organs, no e-pianos, no modern reverbs, no 5.1 facility and above all, no monitors.

I could almost blag my way out of all the above except the monitors!!! (eg. i can see plenty of drum mics in there ) I hate pianos, I'm only interested in stereo music etc. etc.of course its just a cut and paste of the equipment list at Abbey Road Besides, i still get by with my fostex X15 from time to time....

Tav Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Just give me a nice large live room, a well equiped control room based around a large pro tools system and what ever must have gear. I need a large leather couch to sit on and ponder mixes. 3 or 4 of those really expensive chairs to work from/skoot about on <you know the one David Dimbleby sits on in Question Time.> Some large white boards on the wall for writing stuff up. Beech wood furniture all round, it looks so lush.A well equiped kitchen next door is a must. Smeg Cooker with built in hot plate and fryer. Two Smeg fridge/freezers. Large table that everyone can eat around. A good sound system/TV and some sofas in there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threeornothing Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Heres a not-exactly-an-artists impression of my "fantasy" set up. Ok so most of it is behringer, but hey, I'm a realist, its like I don't aspire to own a porsche, I aspire to own an MR2 mkII cos I know one could be had for a grand on ebay. This is still a pricey set up though......if anyones particularly interested I will type up the specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
