Re: New studio setup
More seriously...
I'm not sure if it's the angle of the camera, but the monitor on the right looks to be farther away from the center of the desk than the monitor on the left. Near field monitors like the Rokits sound their very best when they are set up in an equilateral triangle with your head as one point, and the monitors as the other two. It seems trivial, but I've found just a few inches of movement in one of the monitors makes a huge difference in how they are heard.

it is about 3 inches that is easily correctable have to move a few wires in front of the speaker I did notice it and am aware of the triangle thanks for pointing it out thou

Re: New studio setup
your lay-out looks similar to mine russ, only my PC monitor is to the right of my DP24, then my alesis mixer. to my left hand are my acoustic 12 and 6 string and bass guitars. to my right hand are my keyboards and alesis performance pad. directly in front of me are my supplies of peanuts! yum yum
Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

I have my peanuts to the left, Pistachios! and my new monitor is a 32 inch the one pictured is 23 I use a hdmi cable to go direct from my laptop to my tv and run it through my surround sound via a light fiber sounds really nice. hope you have a nice holiday season Phill

Re: New studio setup
Gotta keep the peanuts & pistachios handy, so you don't go nuts! Seriously, that's a very functional setup you've got there, and you really know how to use it well.

Re: New studio setup
Very nice Russell. I am always working on making my space better. I am adding a Voicelive a Play Acoustic and haven't yet figured where I want it. It's all about ease of use.

I have finally found happiness in my life. Guitars, singing, beer and camping. And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: New studio setup
no matter how good the gear is, it's the fingers and the talent that makes it good. unfortunately my fingers are stiff and my talent has yet to emerge.....
ps. i have a drawer to my left with jelly babies in for when i need a sugar rush. their the soft british jelly babies. there is a story of the beatles that goes; they were on their first US tour and let it slip that they loved jelly babies, but the US ones are hard! not fun getting pelted with hard boiled sweets!
