In progress. Kawai Novus 10s, Seaboard Rise ll, Kawai ES8, Samsung Frame TV in art mode, Uplift electric standing desk (my favorite part, lol.
First iteration of my new home space - been waiting to have a dedicated area that was uncluttered by my work computer or stuck in a closet or something. Got the new desk, shelves and laptop stand yesterday - I'm SO UNBELIEVABLY happy that I can begin to have my equipment out and I do not have to setup/breakdown any time I want to play.
It'll take some dialing in over time to get it just right - I'm still missing a more permanent interface for the iPad, some monitors, and a few other items, but this is a good start.
@LinearLineman - I've been following your Osmose struggles and the recent victory with the Seaboard. How is the Kawai treating you?
That Kawai grand looks lovely
Love the drum as part of your setup!
I used to incorporate a big floor tom in my studio as well but as I’m living in an apartment in Berlin I decided that it’s probably not a good idea unfortunately.
Heck yah! Last of the great headphone jacks! Respect!
So jealous of you having a corner of your own… looks nice!

Today my studio has mostly been the kitchen table:
I’ve been wanting to streamline my sofa/bed/anywhere noodling set up for the days when I don’t fancy the whole studio experience, and a little luck recently has enabled me to get there via some strategic acquisitions, I think.
So the Audient Evo 4 interface (cheap, reassuringly solid feeling, two multi inputs (jack / xlr) a DI input for guitar, phantom power, an automatic level setting option, headphones and monitor out, and it can be powered directly by the IPad Pro via the USB C connection to it) goes straight into my s/h M2 iPad Pro, no dongle, camera kit or usb hub required. The Ravpower power bank powers the Meng Qi Wingie II, which I recorded live into the Evo using the Wing Pingies internal mikes. A gratifyingly minimal set up, I think.
Together with the battery powered M Vave Bluetooth mini keyboard I also got recently as part of this cunning plan, and maybe a field recorder or just a mic, gives me pretty much all I need for a go anywhere backpackable rig, I think.
Seems to work quite well, and the Wingie resonator is a lot of fun
Lovecraft Tarot cards for added hipster pretentiousness, because of course, and because I use them as music generating prompts in an Eno-esque Oblique Strategies kind of way. Today the goddess of random said I should go direct to the source, so the track I made was based on the first card I drew here. The High Priestess. Drawing The Empress second only reinforced the point…
Check out resultant noise under Creations, if interested. Under ‘The High Priestess.’.
Of course.
I ugraded from the closet to the corner - I'm moving up in the world!
Happen to have recently taken a photo of the current state of my studio 2023, at least the main corner of it.
I'm envious of your massive screens but especially of your Neumann TLM-103 (?). I've wanted one of those forever.
Ha! Yes, and I got two of them for FREE... I got two 27 inch screens for FREE -- one of them a Samsung 4K, which I added to my existing HP 25 inch. Then I spent a great deal of time figuring out how to mount them on VESA mount arms (the 25 inch HP required an adapter)... But finally for the first time I'm approaching something close to Screen-topia. Once you get used to this, it would be hard to imagine going back to working with less!
Respect AG.
What is the thing between the iPad and the powerbank with the buttons?
@cam : That’s the Wingie II. https://www.juno.co.uk/junodaily/2022/09/09/meng-qi-wingie-2-review/,
It’s a brilliant resonator/physical modeller/sort-of reverb thing, quite affordable at £168 from Signal Sounds, (Whereas Meng Qi’s Wing Pinger, which I share @Krupa ’s lust for is a) unobtanium and b) considerably north of a grand.)
This however is a bit like a standalone usb-c powered Eurorack Rings or Elements, but with built in very sensitive mikes, and a line in. So you can just make environmental sounds, play acoustic instruments, hold it near a running tap, or even just blow on it, whatever, mess with the sliders, the mode buttons, (sort of wood, sort of metal, a polyphonic mode, and a ‘cave’ where you can edit out specific frequencies) and play the ‘keyboard’ buttons, or feed it a line level signal from anything, and improvise on top.
The sliders are also MIDI cc controllable, haven’t had a chance to mess with that yet. You can also run alternative firmwares on it, to turn it into a Benjolin.
It ‘excites’ itself (oo-er!) at different frequencies depending on what you are feeding it/ how you set it (there’s a computer editor for its default settings that you can download if you want to ‘tune’ the frequencies it responds to, and the whole thing is open source).
Just using it as it comes though, the result is you get loads of interesting harmonic distortions and feedback, which can range from delicate and subtle to speaker and ear shredding. It’s a very instinctual tool, reminds me of the Lyra 8 in that respect, and I like it for the same reason - it requires no real formal musical skills to make interesting and musical noises. Right up my alley.

Some of us will never get out of the closet..
@Daveypoo those clip on shelves from Ikea are the best
>
It took a long time for me to come out of the closet, but I feel more myself now that I've done so than I ever did before! 😁
They are shockingly incredibile, actually. They are the perfect size for my effect pedals - I'm blown away by how well the whole thing worked out, really.
Arghh you’re making me miss my Uno synth pro 😂
Looks like a fun setup though! The Uno synth is great as an analog accessory 👍🏻
@DMfan : that looks like a lovely spot to create in! My own studio is now very well supplied on the tech front, teenage me would not believe the toys I have to play with. But - and very much a first world problem alert here - the one thing I still lack is an ideal ‘room of one’s own’ to use it all in. As in, somewhere light and airy, looking out onto greenery.
I have the luxury of choice in a big house, three different spare rooms (attic, bedroom, dining room) to choose from, any of which can be repurposed as a full time studio (currently the dining room). The problem is, none have a particularly pleasant prospect. The attic has only skylights and is un insulated, so cold in winter. Due to construction, there is no simple fix for this. The bedroom is too small, and is set up as a guest bedroom I don’t want to lose; the dining room is gloomy, and looks out only on an austere back yard.
I am seriously thinking that my next significant studio upgrade will be moving to a house with a spare room with French windows onto a garden, or maybe a conservatory…
As I say, first world/boomer problem!
Still a work in progress, but already a space I’m very happy to spend hours in tweaking.
Intend purchasing a small equipment stand for front left area, to enable use of additional hardware (still to be unpacked, 2 Volcas, , TR-909) and a Behringer Edge, which was ordered last week.
Some acoustic treatment will be added too, as it is sounding quite ‘live’.
What mixer is that?
Its got eq like my old vestax pmc 07 pro.
Transformer style eq and not knobs.
It’s a Vestax PMC 37 Pro
cool beans gsm909
Thanks man! This is just a hobby, so I can’t justify getting a real size analog. The UNO synth pro is fully up to the task of supplying that analog feel when wanted. And, being reasonably cheap and very small, I have no issues having it but only use it sometimes.
/DMfan🇸🇪
Thanks! It is, and now I can move my minimal setup outside!
/DMfan🇸🇪
That looks very interesting, I would be curious to hear the music play with that set up. do you have any online somewhere?
Agreed! I’m actually thinking of buying it again. Wife and I are doing the tiny home thing starting in July so I won’t have space for more than my iPad, a midi controller, and one small synth. I’m thinking it’s between the Roland Aira Compact line or another Uno Synth Pro. Is yours buggy at all? It was a little buggy when I had my full size one but I assume it’s fixed now. How are the touch keys? Responsive enough?
Also does it send audio via usb or midi only? I don’t have an interface atm and the Aira line sends audio via usb which is a big bonus for me.
Still no firmware updates beyond 2.01. Mine is working fine, although I know of bug reports online but haven’t experienced any. Touch keys are ok if just triggering sounds, I rather play it via MIDI. No audio via USB, only via the audio output.

Thanks! Definitely gonna add it to the possible purchase list. My old full size one had some bugs but nothing showstopping.
