yes , i use Yamaha HS80M. it's very good monitoring and i have a good sound with a yamaha MG
(sorry for my english loll )

My upgraded Studio:
Mackie Hr824 MKII
Mackie Big Knob
Mackie Control Universal Pro + Extender
Lexicon MX200
Solid State Logic Duende PCIe
Access Virus TI Desktop
Waldorf Blofeld
Native Instruments Kore2
Native Instruments Komplete 5
Steinberg Cubase 4
Tone2 Gladiator
Tone2 WarmVerb
MUON TAU2
M-Audio AXIOM25
Novation SL61 Remote (Automap)
MOTU 828mkIII
Dell 3007wpf HC 30"LCD (2560 * 1600)

And room treatment with Auralex wedges (still saving up for BassTraps)

Upgraded my computer to ASUS P5Q Pro with Intel Q9550 + 4GB of OCZ Reaper.

Raphie, you got a bad-ass studio man! Really sick Quiklok desk. I order the equivalent version from Fame.

ThnX, if i can't do it now, I can't blame the goods
With all this stuff i am so overwhelmed with options that it takes a while for all the new stuff to grow on me.

Kore2 is a whole new aproach to VSTi's and together with Komplete5 you have around 10K+ patches and samples to choose from.

The Virus TI is really awesome, got mine connected via USB which gives me 3 digital outputs directly into the Cubase mixer.
The Axiom is used solely for the drumtriggers


Now i just have to convert and revoice all those old VST5 songs into Cybase 4 projects and see if i can remix some of my old stuff.
I've took days off so i have a nice long weekend to get to learn as much as possible. BTW i love your track and can't wait to start playing around with the remixpack

Seems like you have a lot of work to do then! But it looks really nice. I'm moving this weekend into my new house and I'm going to build a studio in a rather large room too. I don't have that much gear, but there will be enough space to store future purchases. I will post a pic when it's done.

I'm really interested in Kore2, I heard it is a audiointerface as well. Is that so? And if so, do you use it and is it any good?

Like to hear what you make of the remixpack. Nice to hear that you love the track, that's a great compliment ..

Owyeah... Grappig dat Nederlanders op het forum onderling Engels spreken, haha

I think we do it out of courtesy

Kore2 is not a soundcard or DSP, it's a very advanced USB controller / librarian with everything Native Instruments fully automapped. it's a bit like a multitimbral workstation wrapper around oyur NI plugins. (it supports 3rd pty plugins as well)

Togerher with Komplete 5 you have more sounds / samples / VSTi's than you will ever use.

Happy to give you a demo if interested can really build some extremely wicked complex routing setups now.

I would love a demo! I have really no idea of its features.
For a midi-controller its seem to have only a few knows, doesn't that limit you in working with the Kore2?

1 is enough

You can compare it quite a lot with the reason combinator. You have different slots for instruments and you can assign the parameters of the synths to knobs. Say you have a huge pad with 4 synths, and you want 1 knob to control all 4 cutoffs you can do this with the kore.

Together with komplete you get loads of presets with pre-configured "combis".

few changes i did in my studio :








bought a custom made 1176 compressor (stereo)
and a sontec mep250 (stereo) eq
Adam Sub 12 for my S2a
also bought an API 500 Lunchbox with the APi 512 Preamp which i'm getting this week and a fireface 800.

soon to come (a month or two) : moog voyager + all the mooger foogers and two new babies for a new rack (prolly the Chandler Germanium compressor and another preamp).

Custom made 1176? I have never heard of this, what's the story behind it?

Are you planning on filling the API lunch box with anything else?

that's a pretty badass looking sub...doesn't it overpower your mix at all?

well i know the guy who engineered "waves" hardware stuff so i just paid him to build me those Compressor and eq racks (one by one of course with the original components and the original schema) with some lil improvements
this compressor for example called UN76 (U=Urei , N=Neve) the reason is its the exact 1176 but with the output (make up gain) of the Neve 1272! simply amazing!

about the API , of course i'm planning on filing it with alot of other stuff! i want the 525 compressor and some other racks from purple audio , but , of course it will in a later stage as these stuff are very expensive.

as for the sub , its not overpowering its a really accurate one which i crossfade to play everything below 75 (75 - 22) , a thing which REALLY made things better for the S2a as its playing everything above that and it reacts alot better now

if you would have to recommend only ONE mastering device (compressor, limiter, eq etc, analog bla bla bla), what would it be? compared to price also ofcourse

well it really depends on what you are looking for.
i'm not doing mastering usually , just a tight mix and then send it out to a mastering house.

But, what i like to do is mix all the tracks through a certain chain (master chain) that sometimes incl my compressor and eq (mainly for the color).

i use the compressor first with a very small low gain reduction just to tighten up thing a lil bit (u can call it glue compression) , afterwards comes the eq and a fast limiter only for very fast peaks.
******very important rule for me is to make the chain before i'm starting the whole mix not not in the middle or in the end of it.....from my own experience that's the way and not the other way around....

its nice for SOME of the mixes as it gives a warmer more tape sounding mix.
for trance , i don't think i'll use it that way.
i'll compress few parts in the mix to give it a unique color but will use the UAD the most as the "colder" sounds fits better for trance.

i would recommend u to take few analog (high end) racks for a day or two to ur studio and check out how it fits to ur music.
i also bought those racks mainly for recordings u simply HAVE to get some good gear to get that sound i wanted and it sure proved itself

And they have a great sound

The 80s are pretty massive actually, one reason why I opted for the ALP5s.

Arpegia - In all seriousness your studio looks spot on, well able to focus in there.

i was considering the 5" yamahas.

how is the sound on these ALP5s ?

Finally, my studio is (as good as) ready:

Nice setup Theran!

Really the like the clean space feel. What's going in the racks or are you going to get the rack ears for the virus?

BTW did you take these pics on an HTC Hermes?

Nice desk and setup! looks good!
