That's a nice studio, nice gear while not being just a pile of gear with a mixer at the end. I could spend a lot of time in that cockpit!
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely, but like so many awesome studios, is seems as though all the money went into synths, with a much smaller amount into monitoring. This seems to be the norm for most synth studios. I totally don't get it. I have seen countless pictures of huge modulars, all routed into.....berhinger monitors?! Synths are important, but isn't the thing that actually translates the electricity into physical vibrations probably the most important part (along with good ad/da) of any studio? Just me ranting. Get some decent monitors to listen to your awesome synths!
ReplyDeleteNote the silver/gold DX7. Anyone remember the story behind them?
ReplyDelete"Get some decent monitors to listen to your awesome synths!"
ReplyDeleteSince these images were taken, I replaced the Rokit 8's with the V8's, which are superb monitors. I've also added a bent Casio SK-1, Roland SH-101 and JP-8080, and a stylophone and Bee Gees Rhythm machine (both with MIDI and 1/4 mods).
"Note the silver/gold DX7. Anyone remember the story behind them?"
It is the Centennial Edition. Yamaha made 100 of each model to commemorate their 100th anniversary. Mine is the DX7 IIFD
you're laughing at the crapola monitors, i'm laughing at the glass top desks. just about the best way to make a box shaped studio room even more of an acoustic mess is to fill it with glass top tables.
ReplyDeletenothing says i care about my polymoog like 3 square yards of frosted ikea glass!
Jealous? It's a memorymoog anyway genious.....
ReplyDeleteoh, yeah, i'm so jealous of the need for a chord chart poster. and the motif has me frothing, seriously. and the frosted ikea glass.
ReplyDeleteI like frosted glass. Especially if it's full of beer.
ReplyDeleteSome hilarious AND some mean comments by Anonymi. Please, Matrix, don't kill the anonymous comments, ever!
ReplyDeleteNice looking studio even if it might (we don't really know) need a little attention to acoustics.
Hey,
ReplyDeleteI'd take this studio with "crap monitors" and "frosted glass tables" as you have some great gear. I will admit my jealousy and give you mucho kudos for the fine collection of synths you have.
1000 huzzahs to you, sir.
The gold DX is an Anniversary Edition...it was either commemorating the 100,000th DX sold or it was a milestone year. At any rate, the only one I ever say in person was at E U Wurlitzer near D.C.
ReplyDeleteholycrap....
ReplyDeletethats just a little bit on the tasty side.
Agreed with the cash spent on synths, a little could have been channeled into monitoring/desking (those ikea desk runners buzzing away in the background must be lovely) but this is 1 million times better than any audio set up ive ever really seen... ikea frosted glass or not..
wheres the MIDI-CV? your just kicking youself in the balls with an MS-20 without one...
be proud... my jealousy is yours
how bout ya'll read the damn comments before criticizing something that was already solved at the top of the thread!....but you will never read this comment because you are too busy floating around in space....douche bags!
ReplyDeleteThat DX7IIfd was a limited edition. In addition to having 76 keys, the keys themselves were made of glow-in-the-dark plastic, IIRC.

ReplyDeleteI use my bassstation or revolution for MIDI to CV. When I move in to my new house, I will have a more dedicated studio room with proper treatments. I couldn't take the full treatment dive since I know I'll only be here for a couple more years.....
ReplyDeleteThe multitude of parts, along with the complex design of the valve body, originally made hydraulic automatic transmissions much more complicated (and expensive) to build and repair than manual transmissions. In most cars (except US family, luxury, sport-utility vehicle, and minivan models) they have usually been extra-cost options for this reason. Mass manufacturing and decades of improvement have reduced this cost gap.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about Matrix killing the anons.
ReplyDeleteLast time he did that his web hits went down.
He makes money from Ebay affiliate links so he wants those hits.
Read the sidebar text.
He be playing you all for suckas!
No, traffic didn't go down. If I were playing anyone, those comments wouldn't be up.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous comments are twofold. One, some actually add value to the content with interesting bits of info and two, the rest are part of the entertainment - the bozos of the synth world here to entertain the rest of us. You guys decide which you want to be.
I heart bozos....as long as they give respect to matrix!
ReplyDeleteall hail matrix!
