I agree that being able to change position is a very good thing. I now have stations for standing up, sitting in a chair, & sitting on the floor. Ah, variety!

One thing I have done on occasion is to build a performance instrument -something that I can work with in the same way in the studio & on stage. Just like a traditional instrument, it retains the same shape in either mode. Makes playing the thing more intuitive & familiar. My advice to anyone who want to try this: invest in a good stand or two, & some self-adhesive velcro.

thanks Subfunk ;)

I should explore this hybrid solution myself.

For the electribes part, I feel a strange need to get back to "real" machines (I still have my RM1X), because it feels much more like a "real" instrument, and sometimes it is just cool and refreshing just to play, not tweaking parameters with a mouse or a midi controller... I'm soon getting a juno 2, and I KNOW I'll pass some times just playing with it, and then, I'll need to be standing up!

Rogue Scunt : VOLCANO !!!! what is this translucid bag for??? (I know, this isn't thie topic, lol ) Anyway your setup seems really playable too. Good one.

cheers

but i like it funky.
Exactly! Environment is important imo. This gave the push i needed; i have been plannig to redecorate the room and i can think about redesigning the layout as well. It was my bedroom and the room meant for my studio is now my sleeping quarters. :lol:

The pics of the low level studio look fantastic and would be a great environment to work in. of course it would cost thousands to design and build (which i don't have :() but i will definitely rethink my my setup and see if i can come up with a cheap(er) ikea alternative. :lol:

As absolutely drool inducing as Vladislav's studio is, I would feel like such a pretentious cunt if I had to work in there...

Great post... I miss my studio setup and have currently reduced it to a more portable setup (all my other stuff is in storage for now). Still, sometimes it's great being in a different surrounding because it does get old quick when you look at the same stuff over and over again.

I rearranged to the studio quite a bit today and feel much more comfortable in it. Turned the focus of the studio away from the computer, where I used to have all my favorite controllers right in front of the computer on an L shaped desk I moved all my favorite controllers to the other side of the desk and raised some stuff to inspire standing. I dig it a lot.

by the way, what the hell does vladisvlakivov delay have in that studio up there? I can make out the roland space echo and a nord lead (or maybe wave) but other than that I have a really hard time recognizing anything in that room. did I see a korg ms2000 rack?

I think I can make out a moog voyager rack and a rack full of moogerfoogers

he is having a tea, apparently. the studio also seems to be very nice for having a nap while all the machines do feedback loops.

and someone should show him how to change the thermostat actually, cause he really shouldn't need that scarf when he's indoors...
