Looooong overdue studio photo.
As we all know, photos add 50% extra messiness, its less chaotic looking in real life ;)
ohyeah: here's how that bizarre clothing at the back looks when its on people link

the fcb isn't hooked up to anything at the moment. It's waiting for the moment that i have a live set up that makes good use of it. I thought about setting it up to trigger macros in Live (using iKey), but qwerty macros are quicker to execute so far. If anyone has thoughts on how it could be incorporated usefully into a DAW workflow, speakup.
The costumes, and the photos thereof are the work of my girlfriend. I do think that the abundance of fabric might be good for the space acoustically. Since this photo was taken i also propped up our guest matress behind the left hand speaker. I measured the response in fuzzmeasure and the matress does a great job of softening a bass bump on that side.
needs more jchot?: i missed the memo!

The stands seem to do the job, they don't rattle and they were cheap (i didn't bother filling them with sand or anything fancy). I was very anxious at first that the monitors were just resting on the top of them, not screwed in place or anything. Since those dynaudios are the most precious bit of the minimal setup, and because we need to push past them now and again, I tethered them down.

haha it used to have a huge backrest, up to above head height. It was one of those 'manager chair' type things, also suitable for criminal masterminds. But the backrest interfered with hearing the music properly. Also it wasn't comfortable. Now its the best stool evar!

I use the FCB mainly as a controller for the looper in guitar rig (as a vst in ableton), which I run my external gear into (mics, synths, samplers) sometimes. I also use it to trigger scenes. Works out pretty well, but that thing is a bech to program.

yeah, i used an app called ifcb (for mac) that made programming it a bit less painful.

that looks really nice and cozy.
but what do you do, if you need to insert a disk into your mac? walk all around the desk?
i'd be too lazy to do that..
how does the low ceiling work with mixing on monitors? is this an issue?

from this angle the ceiling might look lower than it really is in this shot, but it is quite low. Is it an issue: i don't know i guess, since i didn't experiment with different ceiling heights  but the frequency response of the room is pretty decent for an untreated space. It's certainly certainly the flattest 'studio' I've worked in so far.
Disks in the mac: yes that's a pain. I hardly ever need to do that, thankfully.

Regards to FCB1010... I've been toying with the idea of asking Das Wesen to quote me on building a custom one, with written-from-scratch firmware that I can configure easily in Linux, instead buying and FCB and having to dick around with its programming interface.
I'd love an FCB-like pedal that I can program by editing a WIN.INI-style conf file or Scheme program or XML file (as a last resort), or maybe even via a GUI, and then compile the configuration and send it to the FCB-clone pedal in the form of a SYSEX dump. It's the kind of thing I could probably figure out how to hack together with an Arduino, but I suck at both hardware and software engineering, and it'd take too long-- better to hire someone who actually knows what they're doing.
I don't, however, think it'd be very affordable in quantity 1.

hey kenrestivo, what about just doing a program that converts your config file to the fcb1010 firmware thing? or maybe the uno if you want a bit more flexibility.
