that grey-ish, silver-ish thing next to the monitors looks phalic.

That silver and gray thing is a transmitter for a set of wireless headphones that are not that great. But, my son loves to use them. He likes to sit and listen to me mix and say "Dad, why do you keep starting and stopping the same song?" or "How can you listen to the same song over and over again" or "Dad, can you loop the chorus of the song for me, instead of the verse?"
Damn kids think they know everything.

Well since were posting upcoming projects:


The room in the back is the control room to be. There will be a window and door into the garage that will serve as a pretty nice size live room.

This guy, well one night was stoned out of my gourd and just standing in the kitchen being stoned and got a faint wiff of the smell of death. My roommates were like "dude, your just stoned, we don't smell anything..."

by the next morning it had kicked up a few notches and fuck yeah something was dead somewhere. using our noses let us to the seen of the situation. We all puked a little.
I had a similar experience, except the part about being stoned--just the rat part of the story.

It was pretty interesting to see that your rat had climbed into a nest of cables to die, which is exactly what mine did. My rat had died in a group of cables on the floor, behind my racks. So the smell just stayed near the floor and didn't go up to nostril level.

I didn't even notice the smell until I was on my back on the floor doing some cabling work. By the time I got to the rat it was basically mummified, completely dried out and stiff. Had to peel it off the floor. Of course, some of its fur stuck. You guys would have puked a little bit more.

Closing date is August 10th! I don't know if I can wait that long.

It's a 120-year old victorian house. The space in question used to be a summer kitchen or a breezeway to the stables that used to be attatched to the rear end of the house, I think. Its about 25x18 w/ a 10-12 foot vaulted roof. Should be just about right..

Funny, I had just looked around me and thought about how grateful I am to have what I have bought/built, when I stumbled upon this thread yet again... Home studio guys: if you couldn't use what you had, you wouldn't have it, so don't berate yourself just because you are asked to post next to those who have been building/mixing/working/collecting longer than you.

BTW: not that anyone was waiting with baited breath or anything, but the desk is finally off the back porch, and my synaesthesia-induced necessity for symmetry is satiatied!

Note: This is mostly used for my own compositional needs, mixing projects recorded at Cherry Sound, and doing vinyl/tape transfers for nostalgic folks. Once in a while I get a soloist who needs a demo or the Taliband for a weekend.
