--> Setting up an environment conducive to making music has been a long process for me, but I think I'm finally there. I recently got a new computer that is going to be totally devoted to music and video, no internet, no games, no anything else. I have acquired instruments that suit me after a long searching process. I doubt g.a.s. is cured in me, but I have a setup now where most everything I need is at my fingertips, but there is not so much as to be overwhelming.

I have never really been too active at em411, but this site really is pretty great, and I look forward to posting some releases in the near future.

woah...that's an amazing setup...

er, get a new chair...

that's a great setup. doesn't look tooooo bad on the gas. you have a window, which is excellent!

yes please get a better chair. that one looks like a bad case of carpal tunnel to me.

very nice my friend. And now a throne for your castle good sir


dope mang.

I dig the stingray, and the '88... actually I pretty much dig the whole getup, except the chair.

i dig the chair
the chair digs into your back probably

chairs or for the weak!
i stand while playing tetris in Live

sweet setup!

do those monitor stands help with standing waves?

I have to ask, dont you find it unpractical to have the monitor displays not on the center when tinking about the monitor speakers.
It just seems that you haveto sit on the left a whole lot and thus, not get a very balanced stereo image.

Anyways, really nice setup.

Nice setup... but how's the acoustics in this room?

Makes my setup look like a joke. I'm literally tucked into the corner of a living room the size of that studio, using stuff, all of which is to some degree faulty!

get back on the g a s
youve still got rack space to fill!
