One Fano and one Fender Super Sonic that I modded with P-Rails. They have stopped my search for electric guitars. The Fano is my absolute favorite guitar I have ever handled. She just feels and sounds so right. And thanks for the kind words!

EDIT: Here's a track I did with the Fano if you want to hear how she sounds.

Of your son has a Mac computer, then he can download Garageband for free. It has virtual instruments built in. Then you could get him a USB MIDI controller. This controller hooks up to the computer, and can be used to play all the instruments inside Garageband.

For what it's worth, I'm working on a project that calls for a Pi to output MIDI. Just tried it today. I expected it to be more difficult, but I happened to have an interface (Edirol UM-1) that works natively with ALSA, and playing a file out to the synth is as simple as using the "aplaymidi" command (which I am doing from a Python script).

I'm not familiar with any sequencing applications on Linux (perhaps Rosegarden?), but in a live setting, if your sound is coming from synths/samplers, a Pi + some scripts/macros could be a pretty potent tool.

Thats the bracket for holding up just some wood from Lowes. Also i’m sorry man, can not seem to find those legs from IKEA right now. We got them in person, so i don’t have a link saved.

Should check these out. I use them for pretty much everything now.

If you like the Eames Louge Chair style, but don't want to spend a fortune, Amazon has a few cheap options available on. The one I got was from Flash Furniture & seems to be holding up well so far..

Great question!! I actually just posted instructions on how to make the stands over in a comment on /r/synthesizers ... here is the link.

As for the Cable management, I am using a Pomona Test Lead Holder found on Amazon here.

Also interested in this question's answer. I'm in need of ideas for maximizing space while still maintaining a tight image. Amazon seems to sell a lot of speaker mounting arms but for bookshelf type speaker weight thresholds and usually not with the type of positioning options I'd like (both axis).

For the computer monitors they have pretty usable options though:

Clamping type

Sitting type

(Mind the size limits on the above, there are more heavy-duty options if you need)

I'm using a Traktor S4 MK3 controller which has a built-in soundcard, so it's just connected to the mac mini via USB, and the speakers are connected to the controller.

Depending on your use-case, you will need an audio interface or DAC.

(They are similar but 'audio interfaces' are geared towards music production because they'll often have low latency and extra inputs whereas 'DACs' are usually more tailored towards music listening with a simpler set of inputs)

Not IKEA, but I made my partner a small wfh desk during lockdown and used these hairpin legs: 28” hairpin legs on Amazon

They get the job done, if I had the space, i’d put them on some better floor stands though! This corner is much smaller than it appears.

I bought the mackie monitors a few years ago... the price/quality ratio was right at the time, and I still really like them. I bought that chair a few years ago on Amazon... I'm not sure they sell this exact one anymore, but this one is really similar:

I can try and figure it out but it was a really cheap laptop/monitor vesa stand from Amazon. I just didn’t use the monitor part of it. It has surprisingly good build quality and saves a lot of desk space.

It's a Novo 24 board. It fits perfectly over this. To be honest it was a complete accident discovering this. But the result is exactly what I wanted.

https://www.amazon.com/NOUHAUS-Massage-Chair-Ottoman-Enhancing/dp/B07Q97RVPS?ref_=ast_sto_dp
Teaching from my desk at home for 8 hours a day, a massage chair is pretty awesome.

So full disclosure I did the whole sketch from memory and didn't actually look up an amp stand, drew what I thought they looked like but apparently they don't make them with the legs facing forward like that. I was hoping to have space to easily tuck away my pedals under the amp when I'm not using them.

That being said I found this on amazon that gives me something close to it and it has the bonus of having an optional mic arm attachment for recording. I wish it elevated the amp a bit higher off the ground though.

I had one of these previously and it got the job done.

Both stands should definitely hold your 2x12, I used a Fender Twin from the 70's (those were heavy as hell) on it the one I had before and the there are pics of the first one with a Twin on it.

The mixcube is great 2nd opinion when working on mixdowns. It's not necessarily the best sounding speaker, but gives a pretty clear picture how things sound in mono (and whether you need to adjust certain track levels based on that). The riser stand is a cheap laptop stand I got off of amazon: Pyle Pro DJ Laptop stand

It's great that you want to support your son, but think how much you'd be spending on things like sports or other hobbies he could have. Yeah music is expensive, but the great thing about gear is that it can be resold without losing too much of its value. If he seems serious then I think spending the extra money would be worth it. I'd get him something like this if he has a computer to plug it into that you can download some software on. Worst case you return it to Amazon if he gives up that quick, or sell it on ebay for $75. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M13A6JT/ref=ox_sc_sfl_image_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER.

Actually that's something I vexxed about for awhile while planning the final state for the room. I used to have a Quicklok 2-tier stand, but it was all crooked and problematic.

The stand on the right was bought from a local synth shop owner who didn't need it any more. It's a Pro Line and I paid him seventy five bucks for it. It's pretty sturdy and meant for touring, so the footprint is a big larger than I'd prefer.

I just bought the one on the left last week from Amazon. It's the more durable of the 3-tier Quicklock stands available. I'm really happy with it. Very precisely made and sturdy. Here's a link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JIULCGO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Do you mean the dual monitor stand or the 2nd level to the desk? If you mean the monitors, I used a Vivo stand from amazon. The 2nd level was the Ikea Lack shelf with the 6 inch Ikea CAPITA legs (thanks again to /u/rxhnck for the idea).

Amazon

I think it's this one, specifically for my Blue Yeti mic:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CN2C93T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_KistCb7SSBJQC

It's clamped to the top shelf of my standing desk, behind the JBL monitor on the left, and is easy to swivel towards me for recording.

I'd search Amazon for "(your mic type) arm stand" to see if there's something similar for you.

✌️

Thank you! These were the ones I bought keyboard slide. If I remember correctly, they can drop around 4 inches total, so if your keyboard is less than 4 inches thick, then it’ll work.

Thanks. It’s a Jaspers’ stand - they’re a German brand. I can find the exact model if you’re curious.

If those ever give you issues at all, my pair of Eris E5's came with these. I think the company I bought from just through them in there. They work great and each side has two pieces which allow you to control the speaker angle a little bit. I'm always down for some cool DIY stuff too though, so I look forward to seeing some pictures.

Thanks! Here’s the link. I had to deliberately flip the rail attachments upside down to create enough vertical space for the keyboard, but it still works. I didn’t add a tray, just positioned the rails close enough together to cradle the keyboard tightly and keep it from sliding around. The metal edges where you’re supposed to attach your own tray provide enough support for the keyboard from below. I’d definitely add a custom tray for more support though if it was a heavier keyboard.

Cable organization stuff is often good. It's hard to have too many of these:

FWIW, my wife has gotten or given me a lot of random organization things...probably for the same reasons. She doesn't mind the stuff but wants it to look nice/cute/whatever. Frankly, I do too. But, most of the things that she thinks look cute don't actually work for me, and most of the things that work for me don't look cute to her. It's actually hard to find the overlap.

Ah that sucks. I have a plug powered TP-Link UH700 usb hub. I readed about usb hubs not giving enough power. The hubs can give 500Ma on a usb slot and the harddrive needs 800Ma. Going to figure out if a usb cable with 2 usb plugs will devide the power used on a plug. So 400Ma on each usb plug would technically fix the problem.

This is the cable i am talking about: http://superuser.com/questions/70662/why-does-my-usb-cable-have-an-extra-red-plug

Something like a toggle latch costs around 30-50 cents so the cost isn't an issue - it just requires extra time to create the actual design of it and make sure the quality is there - choosing the correct way to attach it to a steel frame, choosing the correct stainless, etc.

We don't manufacture an X stand but they are by far the most common type of stand since they are so cheap. Many people use them for gigging since they fold up nice. I have a list of about 10 products I am working on now but I would love to design a improved X style stand, the only issue from a business standpoint is they are so cheap that's it's almost impossible to compete on price. Our company does quite a bit of sales on Amazon and I am not even sure how some of these are sold so cheap (like this Yamaha one for less than 22.00). The biggest gripe we hear about X stands are they hit knees and become unstable when you need to play standing up.

I ordered One of These a year and a half ago. It's not the best chair but for the price it's great. arms fold up when I want to play and fold down when I'm just working on the computer.

Looks like most models are the same. As an Amazon Seller, I think this one may be your best bet. The reviews aren't amazing but I own some VIVO mounts and they have good QC so I'd expect the same from this item. With that being said, this whole category has pretty bad Amazon reviews. You can view the top selling kneeling chairs of Amazon US here. There are 250-300 dollar models on the market but they look to be the same quality for the most part and most likely just invest their extra funds into marketing.

This is the stand. I can't find the ring light but its just a basic one from amazon as well probably.

Here is a link to the chair I use in my studio. The arms flip up for guitar/bass playing. Comfortable. synthetic leather.

I use plastic totes (18 Qt, 17L). One type of cable per box, so one box has midi cables, one has USB-C, one has 1/4" guitar, and so on.

If I don't know what a cable is, or if it is flaky, I cut it and discard it. I've wasted uncountable time trying to "debug" a USB cable that turned out to be a "power only" cable that had no data wires.

do you mean to organize cables not in use, or to gather cables that are in use so they're not spaghetti all over your floor? if the latter, I use good olde fashioned twist ties. You can get them by the roll so you can cut the lengths you need.

It's a great stand! I'm about to get another one! I've used for many things, Used to be for a Traktor S2 and a Laptop, then MPC and mini keyboard, now Mininova/Bass Station.

The shelving I made is birch ply on angled twin slot shelving.

Works well. I added a small strip of ply to form a lip at the front of the shelf to keep the gear in place. Two slot stuff is cheap and does the job well.

i picked up some monitor mounts like this to keep things as trim as possible...

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076TCWBPL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The TV is on a fully articulated arm mount. There's actually a monitor riser on the desk behind the lower monitors. The front monitors take up around 9 inches of depth. The TV arm is mounted 24 inches back on the monitor riser.

Lol actually it’s my old desk monitor stand and i put a cheap piece of woof on top. And i use some of these foldable laptop stand. ( really usefull ) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0861Z9GV2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_dl_01MN52KZCB6CAJQBYB9R

Their website is very bad so I can't link to it directly, but they do also have an Amazon store:

Thanks! Actually using tape. I like to use the R2R to master my shit. Just sounds so thick. This is my go-to tape right here.

Since I already had the dual monitor mount setup, we tweaked the top shelf design so there are 1 1/2 inch holes offset from the center. That way the monitor mount can clamp directly onto the middle and not have to cover any holes.

If you're talking about the controller chargers, the Xbox one is no longer available, but there are some good options found by just searching "xbox controller charger" on Amazon.

Here is the PS5 controller charger: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08NKB1FGH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And yeah, the PS5 is approx. 15 1/2 inches tall when placed vertically, and the cubbyholes are 19 inches, so it nestles in quite nicely with room to breathe.

Highly recommend the Boyata one on Amazon, that's what I use. Bit more money but is adjustable and really solid so good for using the pads etc.

Appreciate the response! I was recently looking at this unit as well, so it's good to hear someone having success with it, along with an extensive setup. Currently debating between that one and the [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08FF7X3BY/](CalDigit Thunderbolt 4 Element Hub).

https://www.amazon.com/Acme-Furniture-Eleazar-Recording-Studio/dp/B088JX6BCP/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=21546IOSWZPKM&keywords=recording+desk&qid=1636483526&sprefix=recording+desk%2Caps%2C221&sr=8-3

That's the link I was looking at on amazon. It appears the same desk is sold under different names through multiple outlets.

I can’t speak from personal experience, but everything I’ve read points to CalDigit being a solid brand and specifically the TS3+ dock having the least amount of issues with M1 devices. I read a lot of reddit threads about it. It’s sold out everywhere but Amazon let’s you get it back ordered. I just ordered one of the back orders.

I dig the room, man. And that's a sweet mod of that shelf. It looks like you are in a similar double-desktop situation as myself so I just wanted to let you know about Synergy. I use it across my PC and Mac and it freed up my accessory clutter to replace with...well, musical clutter. :) Anyway, just in case it's useful to ya!

Got a soundcloud or anything?

Your right, I was just saying that from memory although the general aesthetic of the room kind of matches the one in the ad. I always thought it looked pretty cool. https://www.ableton.com/en/live/new-in-9/

All you really need is a DAW. You definitely don't need another interface or MIDI controller unless that UCA222 is noisy (I had UCA202 forever ago that got super noisy). If you get anything else, don't spend much: a Behringer UM2 or UMC22 are both just fine.

Take a look at REAPER ($60). You're at a point where you don't really need to spend any more money than to acquire a basic DAW. You can find plenty of free plugins that will be excellent for just about anything you're looking to do within the next year or two.

The bottom line is they are too heavy to half-ass the hanging; plan to drill holes. Put eye hooks in your frames and hang the panels from the drywall of the ceiling. “Toggle bolts” are the right choice if you can’t/prefer not to try and find the joists. I like these:

A blanket booth is great if you primarily record vocals or otherwise want that super dry room sound. Instead of a PVC frame I would get some flat canopy fittings like these:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06VY4TSNC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title

Then construct it using thin wall EMT conduit from the local hardware store. This stuff is usually cheaper than PVC pipe, more sturdy, and with the clamp fittings it's easy to setup/teardown as needed.

You could also reuse the blankets to treat the room when you don't have the booth setup. Hang them along the walls with an air gap between the blanket and the wall. The gap is important, it lets the sound waves pass through the blanket, bounce off the wall, and pass through the blanket again to be absorbed a 2nd time. The distance between the blanket and the wall determines how well they absorb mid-to-low-mid frequencies. A bigger distance will allow the blanket to absorb lower frequencies. But, they will never be very effective for bass frequencies, so keep that in mind.

If I were you, I'd use window curtain hardware to hang blankets a few inches away from the walls along the entire room. Maybe even use heavy curtains (less absorption) instead of blankets, or a mix of the two. Then move the blankets/curtains around to vary the amount of absorption as needed. Bunch them up to get more absorption in a spot, "open" them up to reveal reflective wall surface in spots, or take some down if the room is too dead sounding.

This is also a nice way to treat that mirrored closet and still be able to get in there :)

thank you for the explanation! and yes i meant absorption. (I appreciate the knowledge although some of it went over my head as I'm still trying to learn/suck at physics in general)

so would using sound panels like these be better for bass absorption?: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006GQGQD2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They have a bit of an air gap between them and the wall fyi.

i currently use a combination of these with foam panels like OP in my room. What would you recommend for optimal listening quality and also reducing noise leaving the room? I realize i may be asking alot as I'm currently in an apartment situation looking to record and play without pissing off neighbors.

I just found this thing called a projection light on Amazon. Lights up an area pretty well with some cool colors

The computer desk:

Cubiker Computer Desk 47 inch... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BXSH5Y9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Simply combine one of these monitor arms with this one.

I think you don’t have to spend a lot for a monitor arm for this specific purpose unless your laptop weighs more than 10kg…lol

PS. My english??… I just can speak well enough for playing around with you guys on reddit. No sweat, haha!

I bought the desk from Amazon years ago: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FK3FWNG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
