And next to it, my whole studio.

Love it! Questions:

Is the typing keyboard convenient and comfortable to use? Does it detach? Does the touchpad on the left annoy a right handed user?

How do you like it for WusikStation? How does it do with multiple instances of WusikStation? What do you run for a host program? How does it handle great large gobs of Wusik patch libs?

Your last office decor was a work of art in and of itself. Any plans for the new digs?

Does running 4 monitors tax your video card and take up CPU cycles when your sequencer's meters are all being rendered in realtime? For example, in Sonar, when I have tons of tracks and the CPU overloads, if I turn off all the realtime meter monitoring, I can take the CPU usage back down enough to keep working. And what video card supports 4 monitors anyway?

best guess on that is a dual card/sli setup.

Wow, thats cool to have four monitors. But one thinks if you could afford that, then a more stylish desk could be in order..

heh, yeah they're a bit strange lookin

i nabbed em from an old hi-fi set up that my parents were throwing out - probably from the mid-late 90's or summit. anywho its saved me spending god knows how much on a pair of monitors. These do the job just fine for me!

The monitor could have an option to detach for a better angle. But I fixed that by just putting a cloth under the device, making it have a better angle. But again, if I was using a X support, that people normally use for keyboards, the angle would be perfect. So its my fault for using a regular box thing to put the device on top.

I'm using an external keyboard and wireless mouse too, so I can't tell. And no, they don't detach.

I'm using SONAR 6 (thanks Cakewalk!!) and I can ran SEVERAL Wusikstation instances. The processor is VERY fast. (dual core)

Good question. Since here's a rented place, I don't plan to do much. But maybe once we move to a new location of our own.

here's my updated studio!! i had posted some pics long time ago but earlier this year (february) i decided to ENHANCE THE ROOM'S LOOK AS WELL AS CREATED SPACE AND FUNCTIONALITY. the room looks absolutely awesome without me spending hundreds of dollars. you just have to be creative

warm regards,
g.no

btw, if you look closely above the studio monitos there are 2 black frames hosting a bunch of vsti pictures. what i did was downloaded some vsti images and printed them on my printer. i bought 2 frames at Target ($19.99 each) pasted the pics and hanged them. my friends love it everytime they visit my home studio. they think that was ingenious.

here's the other side of the room:

old pics before the renovation:

I just realized the pic i posted back on page whatever was 2 years old now, so i thought i would update with my current abode. kinda loungy, but its big and open.

couldn't fit the 'live' gear and some of the guitars, but you get the idea...excuse the mess.

Some look like reaktor synths/ensembles (or whatever they are called).

It IS a great idea--only people who are passionate about softsynths would do that. I have considered doing something similar, but include some pictures of hardware stuff I'd never be able to afford--just so I can at least look at a picture of it.

I can recognize a few--Atmosphere, Minimonsta, Sampletank, Tera, One of the Arturia ones--either Jupiter 8 or something else.

Lets see some studio pics
