[cobrahead1030]

rather modest compared to what a lot of guys are running, but it's sooo nice to finally have a comfortable functional workspace

mr.murphy, i have the same desk as you...

You have a link for that? Thx.

 

[aramism]

i'll look but i got it for like $80 or so at guitar center cuz it was out of box and i had to manually haul all the pieces into my friends SUV but i'll find out the name for it if i still have the manual laying around in the studio. it's american made i can tell you that and they make a bunch, i think the name is like the producers station or the creation station, or the producers desk or something like that i may be wrong

Okay monitors, but what I really need is a better room:

what kinda of room do you have? have you ever tried plugging up one of the ports?

I've got a pair Yamaha MSP5's and a pair of HS50's (I love free stuff!!), once my weddings out of the way and my bass rig is sorted I'll be looking to get a third pair in. Probably 8050's but I'm not sure, the new KRK VXT8 and the PMC/Digi RM2 look good too.

Benn demoing these for the past week.

3 LCD monitors? Jesus christ, that seems excessive...and Razorjack, I'd be really interested to hear your impressions on the differences between the HS50's and MSP5's, and which you like better

Haha, I love it. With Nuendo's workspaces and key commands I can quickly see everything I need to without having to shuffle around. I can't handle working with only 2 monitors anymore. I have actually benn thinking about adding another smaller LCD just for plug in windows.

I must admit, I do sometimes loose the mouse cursor for a few seconds.

I've got the KRK Rokit 5's. I don't think I like them, but I got them for recording one song in some band's basement so it's cool. Better than nothing I suppose.

Hey, what desk is that? That's exactly what I need.
I just moved and right now my junk is chillin' on a fold up card table from wal-mart.

 

[ffaudio]

I still love my Focals.

Do you have the SM8s? I was thinking about trying a set of those but the digital conversion turns me off to them a little.

The Barefoots rocked but I want to try the K&H O300Ds and maybe the 8050s or SM8s. Too many options!

Not sure if it's the exact same desk but this one is pretty similar.

I think it makes much more sense than 2 LCDs, really. If they are two, you either have to look to your left/right constantly or place the displays asymetrically whereas when you have three it's probably perfect

Cool, I think that's it!
