Originally posted by alanzo I bought 6 viruses while I was in college. Virus Rack Virus B Virus Classic Virus Powercore Virus Rack XL Virus TI Not all at the same time, of course. It wasn't until my 4th year that I could afford the TI. Edit: Though my college years I also owned a Novation A Station, Roland JP8000, Nord Lead 1 and 3, Novation SuperNova II and an Alesis QS 6.1. Again, not all at the same time. The most I've had at the same time was 2 synths. And now I pretty much just use software... (if you count the Virus VSTi as software).

All those virus's (or is that Virii?) are really a waste of money - the Rack and the B are basically the same beast (with less knobs routing), the classic is the same as the powercore (just a plug in version) and the XL was not much different from the normal rack. The one that really has the most evolution/innovation from previous models is the Ti. In fact from the original Virus, until the the C, there were really variations on a theme (patches, bug fixes etc). The C brought real changes (matrix etc). You must have lost a shitload of cash buying and selling these unless you got real lucky or a total salesman.

Yeh, I know. I tended to sell one to get another and so on... it was quite a ride.

Well, at least you know your virus's inside out!

Haha yea. Now we all know who to get advice from about getting a certain Virus

Originally posted by DJ RANN WTF? Are you serious? The 824's are known for having nearly too much bass! At work we compensate the mix because when we listen to an 824 mix on other speakers it always sounds light on bass. Buying the sub is just crazy unless you just want a really bass heavy sytem for listening to tracks, but in that case I wouldn't 824's (or even studio monitors period), rather some nice Hi-fi biased speakers.

The hrs-120 sub is made to go with the 824's, you're not hearing an accurate balance of ALL the frequencies without it, so I really don't see what is so crazy about it. I really don't think they're worth it without the sub.. but like I said I do bass oriented music and the low end is what i spend most of my time on.

You probably aren't mixing club music at your work..

There is a low freq cutoff switch on the back, make sure it's not set at 90.

Here is mine and my roommate's studio
Most of the production gear is his and the dj gear is mine.















Not pictured are my friend's mics

What do you guys think??

My home within my home:

Jealousy comes to mind. How often are you using that mpd 24. If i had one i would probably just program notes in on the step sequencer and it would barely get any use.

I actually use the MPD24 quite a bit. I have it set up to perfectly match my custom-made Battery 3 templates which are matched to drum maps in Sonar. So, all I need to do is drag & drop samples into B3's cells and start playing - every pad/sample gets routed to its own MIDI and audio track for perfect control over every nuance. Although, I actually do use Sonar's step sequencer and PRV more often for doing the straight quantized 4-on-the-floor stuff, but for more intricate patterns, the MPD24 rules! I also have it set up as an ACT control surface for controlling the parameters of most of my soft synths. I'm sort of an old-skool hardware guy and I prefer turning knobs/sliders to clicking with a mouse (trying to avoid carpal tunnel syndrome ).

Tell your friend to get his brains checked!

Seriously, a rack consisting of gear by Apogee, UA and Avalon don't really go together with KRK Rokits.

lol i was thinking the same thing

Actually the Rokits are mine he has a pair of V6s as you can see in the dj gear pic. The only thing is that he is waiting for some cables to arrive, but in the meantime they are doing ok.

Awesome setup dude, you have to tell me where you got those stands as I've looked all over the internet for some.

What is the yorkville code or reference for them??

Cheers

If you look they are desktop stands, which I couldnt find eve in the yorkville product catalogue on the yorkville site.

As ghetto as it gets, but here she is and shall remain for the next 4 months at least :

Hey... there's more to that desk, I know it. Not enough room for the whole desk?

Take a bit of care as it's not sturdy at all side-to-side, with the hardware going into fiberboard without the legs facing the other direction. I'd hate to see your pretty monitors go splat.

Yeah, not enough room for the whole desk anymore... plus the other part is being used as a TV stand for the time being.

When I move to a new apartment in June, I'm hoping to give my "studio" it's own room.

Yeah, I just moved, and my whole setup is down in California still. My place up here is small too, so my studio will double as my entertainment center, of sorts.

How are you liking those monitors, BTW?

Quite nice.. a huge step up after using headphones for three years. I'm able to work a lot faster as I'm not constantly going back, makes changes to levels and fixing things I SHOULD have heard.

You dont happen to know the product or part number as cant find it in the PDF brochure (im prob being dense!!), only some stands that are 36" height not desktop ones.

I'm shortly going to be getting rid of the Macbook Pro and replacing it with a new 8-core Mac Pro. The MBP can't really handle Logic too well, as it's only a first gen model with a 1.8ghz Core Duo CPU rather than a newer, faster Core 2 Duo one.

The two external screens are powered by a Matrox Dualhead2go....seriously, if you have a couple of spare screens then you should DEFINITELY get one of these. It basically treats the two 19" flat panels as one long 2560x1024 display. Coupled with the 1440x900 display on the MBP, that's one hell of a lot of screen space to play with.

I like it!
