It's cool, but depends how you use it..
The only thing I hate it's that I can't record midi in Live playing with its pads..

update





finally got a cheap PCI card to run the second RME mutliface so now i can route 20 anudio channels on the mixing desk.

it's a "decommisioned" office building with lots of artist's atelier and music studios, a mastering studio in the house as well.... i'm on the 5th floor and luckily no other studio is close to mine, the last place I had was a pain in the ass, 7 studios next to each other and a lot of "crosstalking".
still waiting to get some good deals on soundproofing materials to finish the acoustic treatment, really broke at the moment so i'll have to wait.

nice desk, what is it? i miss my old juno.....

berlin based ?!

looks great - very good sonic taste judging by your selection of outboard there mate i like !

You guys have some really nice workspaces!

not berlin but zürich.
the desk is a soundtracs topaz project 8, fortunately from the last batch made in UK before they moved production to china.
yes it'a nice workspace, and rent is reasonable -definitevely an exception in this town.
they are gonna tear down the building in 2015... by then I'll have to find anoter space.

Hey Rampus, who makes the desk for your workstation?

Looks like Ikea.

I made it myself

it's a very nice idea for the racks, i guess it is pretty ergonomic... being thinking about a similar solution for a while but really no time to venture in dyi now

I got myself a new computer monitor today. Using Ableton Live on a 12" laptop was proving a challenge. Fine and small for gigging but too small for studio work.

one thing to be mindful of with the horizontally mounted equipment is that dirt/dust gets into the knobs/pots much easier and can cause scratchy pots. rampus you look like you keep things pretty clean tho- looks great!

Re-designed my cave (11' by 13' wooden framed conservatory) and added and acoustic treatment... 3 x 900x600mm panels shown in photo for the bay window end plus ceiling cloud, corner bass traps and side broadband's out of shot.

Panel on left is free-standing...slides to the right behind my desk to allow easy exit thru the door to the garden.

Note to self: hiding the some of wires and a maybe little polish wouldn't go a miss...

Sounds vastly different, not fully dead which is what I wanted and nothing like it did before. Needed to justify the cost of the KRK's!

The only real cost (apart from time) was the Rockwool at £25 for 5 x 100m thick (1200x600) slabs. Wood was from old racking at work.Yards of black material from Freecycle. Base for free-standing panel is in fact the end of an old door that was cut off my new 'desk'...and the shelving is made from left overs from recent kitchen refurbishment.

Lava lamps next...
