I have moved since this was taken, and I have a novation launchpad in the mix now, but it's pretty much the same.
Jairus i love your old school qwerty keyboard ;)
That is some slick carpeting too!

some older impressions..new ones will follow as soon as we will get our damaged equipment from the water income back....:-)
Hello awesome compressors and almost every V/A known to man.
Wow.
Yeah, very nice one YADE!
I didn't know you actually had a SPL Channel One. Maybe I forgot this... It's still on my "list" for the near future.
Your studio needs some analogue synths though! :P
I need to get a camera so I can post a newer picture. I've hooked up my Lexicon and KSP8, fixed my prophet, and am about to buy a XoXbox and a Neptune :)
I used to have a pair of emperical labs distressors that I sold because they aren't necessary to my sound.
@virl3nt: the Channel One is our secret weapon when it comes to Kick-Compression....
well I have 2 analogue synths :-) a Fender Rhodes Mark 1 :) from 1973 with Amp, and a Roland RS 202...this one over the Line 6 Pod and you have a very nice hookline :-)

besides that I am not really into real analogues or modulars...
way too expensive for sounding imho not better than a V/A over a good preamp...but I think this is personal preference...I am rather into things where I also can save my presets and stuff, for I sometimes work on 2-3 productions simultaneously...
what is not on the pics, for they are too old, is the Millenia Channelstrip, the Millenia 8xPreamps and the tube-Tech SMC-2B multibandcompressor and some synths and older gearparts, as well as the whole Mic cupboard I was too lazy to make pics of :-)..
at the moment the studio looks more like atlantis after the waterincome....
if the insurance pays for the damaged items enough money, we will get them again used and use the rest of the money to buy some things on our wishlist
MCI JH536 Console
2x UA 1176 or one 1176-2
1x UA 1178
drawmer S3
2 Focusrite Isa 430 MK1
and an SPL Rackpack or a Frontliner..
@KryonikMessiah23: fuck...I would have loved to get the Distressors.....

this is one year ago, before i go in software,
@ DB
Really nice setup
@KM
Why are you getting a xoxbox if you already have a TB303?
@Yade i never understood people's fascination with Rhodeses, we have the same as you've got in the studio, mk1, 1973, because the other band we practice with has it, but i can't really see the fascination with it. ok it has it's purpose, nice sound and whatever, but to fetishize them, well i simply do not understand. nice overall setup though
@db and a nice setup of yours as well, how many viruses do you have? which one are they?
@dodd
I sold my 303 some months ago when I moved from california. I'd get another one but the XoXbox is just as good, and even easier to program :). My gear's changed a lot over the course of the year and it's essentially a Virus and an Ion backed up by my Mopho and my Prophet when the Prophet is being reliable.
Right now my plans are to sell the mopho (if anyone wants this thing let me know, 280+shipping)and save some money, and get a XoXbox, a Spectral Audio Neptune, which is a bitchin analog synth, and probably another polysynth of some kind, V/A or otherwise. Maybe a Nord. Maybe a Supernova. Who knows.
Frankly though i've replaced a lot of outboard with really good sofware but still use mostly hardware synth sounds. My distressors for example i'm not missing much due to Fabfilter's Pro-C plugin.
@Yade
Yeah I didn't think to advertise them on side-line for some reason.
@km you replaced distressors with pro-c??? is it that good??
It's pretty fucking good. I wouldn't say AS good, but I really wasn't using my Distressors enough to justify the cost. I'm also into somewhat housey music that uses those really bangin sidechained basslines and it works wonders for that.
I'm also a huge fan of Stillwell's Rockit.
But by far THE best compressor plug is this.
Least my opinion. Goes great on the bus. I use Pro-C for standard compression and sidechains.
hm...i will try fabfilter. i think uad is making a distressor plugin for their dsp, so that should be a cheaper way to introduce them into setup.
one of my favorites is the vintage warmer, sounds nice and bubbly
How much did you sell your 303 for?
And I'd love to get a mopho but I'm really broke right now =\
About 1700$ :). Kind of funny considering I got the thing for about 400$.
@dogmeat Oh man I love the Vintagewarmer. Good on the drum bus, makes a loooot of shit sound awesome.
@Dogmeat: well the Rhodes itself has, if properly amped and recorded a unique sound character....furthermore it offers a fully weighted keyboard, for it is build like a "real" piano....I used it in old Lost Area songs and also in 2 YADE songs already....though heavily processed .....I love to play it live when I have some friends in the studio for a nice funk or blues jamsession....or if we play a livegig for beer in a bar or so...then the rhodes fits very good in a funky environemnt....furthermore my item I got several years ago from the keyboarder of the Blues Brothers Showband when they were coaching us when we were touring with the European Youth Jazz Orchestra...so this in my case adds quite some magic and also memories to an already very good instrument imho :-)
I've spent the last week or two settling into my new room, and FINALLY, after fuck knows how long, built something resembling a studio :)

As a moving-in present, my Dad bequeathed me a meaty amplifier and two really nice B+W speakers, which sound AMAZING :D
All the rest of my gear is pretty apparent as to what it is, but for anybody who's curious, my current setup is a MacBook Pro, Roland JP8000, Quasimidi Sirius, and a rather battered old Korg Electribe R1, all being run into a Presonus Firepod, which is jacked into my amp, and an Akai LPK25 and Novation Launchpad for controlleriness :)
Just out of shot is a G5 Powermac that's currently dead and awaiting a repair, and a bottle of sweet, sweet Jagermeister.
