Glad you guys like my little studio!

Well, first off it ain't tapcos, it's the ESI nEar05 Experience under the DJ-Desk! xD Well.. I first had the nEar's for my music, but then I wanted to have a fairly bigger frequency-range and I then upgraded to those Behringers.

I really like both my ESI's and Behringer's so it's hard to say really.. But I must admit I'm impressed of the sound (that includes the bass) the ESI's can deliver despite it's small size. I know many people hate the Behringer's but as allways it's just a matter of taste. I'd say they have quite a good sound for the price so..

And I have listened/worked with more expensive monitors like Mackie HR824 and similair so I know what I'm "missing out"..

Hope it helps!

ahh sorry, was hard to tell as they are in the shadows i took a educated guess and was wrong they do look uncanny to the tapco S5 tho.

Self Built P4 3.0 O/C to 3.6 on Windows XP with Dual M-Audio Delta 44s, 2 Gig 800meg Dual Channel RAM, 2x Midisport 2x2.

Triton Rack
Korg EM-1
NI Kore Controller
Alesis M1 Actives
Behringer 602a monitor mixer
Office Depot Desk ($79!!!)
(All hardware pieces bought used on Ebay/CL)

Software:
Sonar 6.2
NI Komplete 4/Kore (cheap right now, buy before Kore 2 comes out!)
V-Station/Bass Station VSTi's
Crystal VSTi

I have to thank Tweak for his guide, it really helped me set this (hobby) studio up in a very usable and intuitive way. There are a million different ways to set up a studio rig, and i needed to learn to set it up MY way.

I use the Axiom as both keyboard controller and control surface through Sonar's ACT function. Works like a charm. Everything i use is within arms reach of me. I do mostly trance and new age, and so I don't need any more gear, just learning to use what i have better now. Will post some songs soon.

PS... If anyone else is using Sonar 6 I'd be way into collaborating on a trance track with someone!

Just a word of advice! BM5As rely on the rear port for bass, so it's not great to have a window behind them. Read the manual, it should tell you the optimum distance to have them for a wall.

I'm sure you'll be very happy with it all, great stuff

I don't think the bass is that bad.. I actually cut it down a bit because it was giving me vibrations from the right wall. I've only had it for a day so no doubt I'll be setting it up for a while. The window to be honest, doesn't actually affect them that much

Did you paint it yourself, or did you get the mod for $50? I can't find the mod anywhere... where can I get that? Sweet studio.
