RTA is a good company too, as far as I'm concerned. I once bent one of the wheels on mine while trying to move it on carpet with all my gear still on it (dumb move on my part). I contacted the company about buying another one, and they FedExed me a replacement within a few days free of charge!

Sweet Deal
Thanks Cryo, i will look in to that!

I've got teh same desk as well. I looked into the $500 desk they offer but didn't feel it was worth the price.

I laughed when you said you found your keyboard on the street. It looks so gross, just buy a cheap one at Walmart.

Your studio looks more savvy than Laidback Luke's home studio.

I have that same Studio RTA. I got it for $199 new at Guitar Center.

Honestly, I don't like it much. The desk is kinda low and the monitor is way too elevated. I have to keep looking up. After a while, it hurts.

it is low so you can put a keyboard on it! The problem is that there is not a 3rd level for your actual computer keyboard and mouse. I just bought wood from ikea and made my own desk that is very slim, a level for my screens and then the piano is flush against the edge.

It's lower than any other desk I owed, including the one at my office. You can even see it on the pic. It's way lower than my Ikea desk on the right.

What I did, was that I put wood blocks on the bottom to raise the desk. However, that brought my monitors up even higher. The equipment rack is tall, it should be half the size than it should be all good. But, I know it was made that size to accommodate 4U equipment.

I had that desk and then upgraded to the more expensive model, the Producer Station. I had the same concerns that you did about my screens being so high, so I just left the top off of my desk.

You lose the rack space, but I felt it was more important to be comfortable while producing.

I was thinking the same thing. It's puts mine to shame )-; One day Eric one day.

edit: is that the presonus central control station, had that on my mind for a while but ended up going inano cheap way out, but for now does the deed.

Haha, God, I wish I could even afford a MIDI keyboard. Damned college.

And there was no need, because said mod merged said threads and there is no longer any dupe.

Shall we sticky the most recent sidechaining thread as well? That topic comes up a lot too.

Thanks. I have it posted here a couple of times before, but there is so many pages in this thread it is easy to miss. It is simple and to the point. I feel like I have the money in the things that have the greatest impact on my work.

Yes. Really great unit for the price. Fully passive and a decent amount of I/O for only $500 ($650 with the remote). The next step up is the Dangerous Music Monitor ST, but at $1,800, it is a bit much for just a monitoring solution.

hell yeah man, your setup is very much like what i'm hoping to have in the next few years!

how's the faderbox thingy you have as well? can't remember the name of it, but i was thinking of getting one to ease the use of logic

Yeah, I find that the better I get, the less "stuff" I need. Most of the stuff on my wish list are more "wants" rather than "needs". UAD-2, Sonnox, Waves SSL/API, etc. Mostly software. TBH, I use the built in Logic plugins more than anything else. That's one of the coolest things about Logic is the built in stuff is so damn good, you almost don't need anything else. However, it is good to have some 3rd party stuff, especially the UAD stuff, many of which are easily some of my favorite 3rd party plugins.

The only thing I'd like to do is replace the Novation with an actual synth that would double as a master keyboard. Since I already have the VA and analog mono covered, I was thinking of picking up a used, first generation V-Synth. They go for under $1,000 these days on the used market and I figure that its a piece of equipment that has capabilities I do not already possess, so it would make a great addition to my setup.

Also, at some point I'd like to upgrade my AD/DA. EIther by replacing my MOTU 2408 with something better or getting outboard conversion and running my synths and monitors through that unit or units. However, the MOTU performs admirably, so its not an immediate concern. I'm only interested in units with a PCIe interface, so anything thats an order of magnitude better than the MOTU is going to be north of $3,000 which puts it firmly in the "want" category.

I love it. Cheap and well built. I actually bought it a quite a while back when I was still on PC using Cubase. At the time I rarely used it, so when I switched to Mac, I actually disconnected it and it sat on a shelf for over a year. Then about 6 months ago I hooked it back up and started using it extensively. Now I don't think I could do without it. I actually prefer it to some of the multi-channel fader controls such as the Mackie Control unit. It's easy to know which track it is controlling because it can only control a single track, which is the selected track.

One of the neat things about using a unit like that is when you are trying to find the right level for a particular part. I'll usually bring the fader all the way down and then close my eyes and slowly bring it up until the track sounds balanced in the mix. You can't beat that level of physical control. It's got transport controls as well, so that makes it easy to hit record with my left hand while keeping my right hand on the keyboard playing a part. Highly recommended.
